The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 84

[Chapter 84 Hewa Village Saves People]

The next day, before dawn, Gu Ye was woken up, and she ate breakfast in a daze. She was carried by her grandfather on the back of a horse, wrapped in an airtight fox fur cloak, and a hot stove in her hand. .

Manager Qian’s mule and horse team arrived at the inn as early as half an hour ago, and with the help of the Jun Family Nursing Home, loaded carts of goods onto the backs of mules and horses. The Jun family’s nursing home was ordered to escort the three of them over, and they will rush back to Yancheng today.

When everything was ready, Gu Xiao turned his head and saw his granddaughter dozing off on the horse’s back. He shook his head amusingly, patted Gu Ming who was helping with the loading, and pointed in the direction of his sister.

Gu Ming turned to look and saw that her sister’s body on the horse was already tilted to thirty degrees, as if she was about to fall. He hurried over and straightened his sister’s body.

Gu Ye noticed that someone was touching her, and looked down at his brother with a silly smile. She didn’t get enough sleep, with a hint of stupidity in her confusion, she was not as smart as when she was studying medicine, and she was not as smart as when talking about business with people. However, such a soft and cute little sister aroused Gu Ming’s desire for protection.

He got on the horse and sat behind his sister, letting her lean on him. He held the reins with one hand and his sister with the other, and went on like this. With support behind Gu Ye, he gradually went from a light sleep to a deep sleep, and after a while there was only the sound of slow breathing.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright, and the team of mules and horses entered the mountains. The horses were walking on the rugged mountain road, with the trees with their leaves bare on both sides. As the cold wind swayed the dead branches, the jackdaws shrank their necks on the trees, and occasionally made a cry. In the distance, the rolling hills seemed to be covered with white caps by the snow.

The mountain road was wet due to the melting snow, and the mule and horse team walked very slowly. At this speed, it was difficult to reach Qingshan Village in one day.

Sure enough, by evening, there was still one third of the journey left.

Shopkeeper Qian came over and asked Gu Xiao for instructions: “The mountain road ahead is steep and it is not safe to walk at night. Do you want to sleep in the wilderness, or in Hewa Village beyond Sanli Road?” Even the prime of life may not be able to withstand it, not to mention Gu Ye’s body, which has just been nourished, can no longer suffer from the cold. Gu Xiao said without hesitation, “Let’s go to Hewa Village.” Shopkeeper

Qian thought so too. At night, the temperature in the mountains was dripping into ice, and no matter how thick the quilt was, it was hard to resist the biting cold wind. In addition, the ground was damp. People are freezing.

The money shopkeeper of Hewa Village often goes there when he is in business. The villagers of Hewa Village came out one after another when they heard the familiar sound of bells.

“Treasurer Qian, didn’t you say last time that you didn’t come here a year ago? It just so happened that I didn’t have enough thread to sew quilts, so get me a roll.” A chubby daughter-in-law came up with a few copper plates.

Another thin old man also followed and said, “I don’t have enough tobacco leaves for the New Year, so I’ll weigh them in two taels.”

“Do you have pork? Cut a pound of fat for me, and make dumplings for the children to satisfy their cravings… “…”

“Liu Zhu’s family, why hasn’t your family cut meat yet? When is it going to happen? I’m not afraid of the heavy snow closing the mountains, and I won’t be able to eat dumplings this year!”

“Hi! Our head of the family was ill a few days ago, and we have been taking care of him. I have time to go to the town to cut meat. I’m thinking about it, tomorrow I’ll go to town to cut some meat with my son’s father, and the shopkeeper who doesn’t have money will come…”

… The

mule team hasn’t stopped yet, folks. They all gathered around. The shopkeeper Qian explained in a hurry: “I’m sorry, my fellow villagers. This time Qian was helping people deliver goods to Qingshan Village. He passed by our Hewa Village in the evening to take a break.”

“It’s not for selling goods! Bai is happy, and I have to go to town tomorrow!” Liu Zhu’s wife sighed, her eyes were attracted by the peach-red silk satin jacket exposed in the gap of the bag, and she couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Oh, yo, look The color is so bright, the material is still satin, and the embroidery on it is so exquisite, who is so rich in Qingshan Village to make such a beautiful wedding dress for the girl!”

“Hey, it’s really! This material, this workmanship, can’t be made by the cloth shop in the town. I’m afraid I bought it in Fucheng? How many taels of silver!” A young daughter-in-law quickly took out the clothes Pulled out from the burden, fondly wiped and touched.

She just got married less than two months ago, and her parents’ family just made a wedding dress of jujube red cotton. If she can wear such a beautiful dress to get married, it will be worth her life!

“Look, there are also sweaters here. Look at the fine and uniform hair, it should be from fire fox skin. Li Dali from our village hunted a fire fox and sold it for twenty taels of silver. Clothes, how many Firefox skins do you get!”

“My dear, this bag is full of clothes, and it’s made of good material! Who is this rich, so lavish?”

“Don’t move, put it down!” Shopkeeper Qian He ran over quickly, took the silk satin jacket carefully, folded it and stuffed it into the package, “Aunts and sisters-in-law, these are all belongings of Mr. Qian’s master, and if you break it, you will have to pay for it. ”

Treasurer Qian, who did you help transport the goods? Qingshan Village is even poorer than our Hewa Village. I’ve never heard of anyone who can afford such good clothes?” asked.

Shopkeeper Qian quietly glanced back and said in a low voice, “Didn’t the Gu family go to the army thirty years ago? He is not an ordinary soldier. It is said that he is a fierce general under the old town’s prince. I went back to my hometown a few days ago and adopted a grandson and a granddaughter. He bought all these clothes for the grandchildren.”

“I know about this!” A daughter-in-law who married from Qingshan Village saw everyone gathered around and waited. With what she said below, she couldn’t help but say proudly, “I went back to my parents’ house last time, and I heard from my family. This Uncle Gu is going to the battlefield for the people of the fifth house of the Gu family, who gave Gu Qiao as an adoptive. He.”

“Then why are the adopted grandsons and granddaughters now?” someone asked.

The daughter-in-law rolled his eyes at him: “Listen to me slowly! In order to test Gu Qiao’s character, Uncle Gu, when he returned to the village, wore tattered clothes and had a lame leg. Gu Xiao and his wife disliked it. He was a burden, so he thought of a bad idea to adopt a pair of children left in the front room. Unexpectedly, Gu Wushu’s family was so rich. Now, Gu Qiao should be slammed into the wall with regret!”

“Shh – come on ! Now, the Lord is here!”

Gu Xiao was wearing a dark blue cotton robe, seemingly ordinary, fine and soft fabrics, low-key and delicate embroidery, revealing its value. The black black fox cloak outside is even more valuable.

He jumped off the horse and carried Gu Ye off the horse. Gu Ye stomped his feet in small leather boots, his numb toes almost freezing.

“Why are there so many people?” Gu Ming jumped off the horse and came to his sister’s side. Seeing that almost all the people in Hewa Village were dispatched, they stared at them, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The shopkeeper Qian negotiated with the village chief about the overnight stay. Hearing this, he hurried over and said, “Gu Wushu, the villagers all came out to buy goods when they heard the bells on the necks of the mules and horses. I just explained to them… By the way, there are two spare rooms in the village chief’s house, and we will spend the night there tonight, what do you think?”

“Manager Qian, look at the arrangement!” Gu Xiao took out a box of bird’s nest from his luggage, expressing enthusiasm for his enthusiasm. The village chief who greeted her said, “Brother village chief, my granddaughter is not well. Could you borrow some porridge from your kitchen to make her healthy?”

“Grandpa, since it’s inconvenient, don’t bother the village chief grandpa. It’s over.” Gu Ye thought that today’s supplements would be able to escape, but he didn’t expect grandpa to keep thinking about it.

“No trouble, Brother Gu, you can use it!” When the mountain man Maodong only ate two meals a day, he had already eaten dinner at this time and was ready to rest.

“It’s not good, it’s not good!! Aunt Niu, your little dunzi got stuck eating peanuts, and his face turned purple! Quickly think of a way!” I know if I’m in a hurry or I’m tired, and I’m sweating all over.

“What? Dunzi, my precious grandson! Lao Niu, hurry up and ask a doctor!” When the aunt of the Niu family heard this, she panicked and ran to the house.

“Doctor please, I want to go to Taohua Village, which is more than a dozen miles away from our village. It takes more than an hour to come and go. The year before last, the young grandson of the old Xing family in our village had his airway blocked by eating ordinary food. Fragrant kung fu people are gone. Sigh… I see Xuan!” Li Zhu’s wife couldn’t help shaking her head.

Another white fat daughter-in-law sighed and said, “The aunt of the Niu family has suffered enough. An only son went hunting in the mountains last year and was spoiled by wild mouths. When he found it, half of his body was eaten away. I just left the pier like this. A single Miaomiao… If this person is gone, the old Niu family will be extinct!”

“Grandpa, I’ll go take a look!” Before he finished speaking, Gu Ye followed behind Niu’s aunt and ran to her house. The foreign body chokes the intake pipe, and the fatality rate is very high. I hope it will be too late.

Gu Xiao and Gu Ming also followed. Gu Xiao had seen Ding, whose granddaughter had treated shock, anyone who was not breathing could be rescued. He hoped that this time he could also create a miracle.

When Gu Ye arrived at Niu’s house, the seven-year-old child was suffocated and his face was blue, and he struggled for a few times.

Niu’s aunt put her hand down Dunzi’s nose and found that she was not breathing, so she slumped on the ground and burst into tears.

Gu Ye didn’t care what to say, hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and rushed over, picking up the child from behind. She wraps her arms around the child’s waist, clenching a fist between the lower rib and navel with one hand, grabbing the fist with the other, and pressing it inward and upward quickly. This creates a blast of air in the patient’s body, which in turn flushes out foreign objects that are blocking the windpipe.
