After dressing as a widow

Chapter 23

Dr. Liu stretched out his hand, ready to hug Gu Shuanzi to his body and carefully touch his bones to see if there were any hidden wounds. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Gu Shuanzi patted his hand away expressionlessly, struggling To climb out of the quilt.

Lin Zhen didn't expect that he still had strength at this moment, and wanted to hug him, but suddenly, Gu Shuanzi bit his hand, and dug his sharp teeth into the flesh hard.

"Hiss——" Lin Zhen was afraid of the pain since he was a child, and almost sat on the ground, he grabbed Gu Shuanzi who was rushing out staggeringly, and grabbed his arm from behind, "Where do you want to go? "

Gu Shuanzi kicked his legs, choked his neck and said nothing.

Lin Zhen hugged him firmly and asked Dr. Liu, "You can grab some medicine."

Doctor Liu was quite satisfied with the fact that he was bitten and did not get angry, and said: "He has no serious injuries, but he has not eaten for a long time and is hungry. In the last two or three months, he has to eat moderate food, and in small quantities. repeatedly."

"It's best to drink some ginseng soup from time to time to make up the foundation, otherwise it will hinder the longevity."

"Thank you, doctor, then please pack me a month's worth of ginseng slices first."

Dr. Liu looked at him in surprise, ginseng is relatively more valuable among medicinal materials, and most people would hesitate to use ginseng when they hear about it.

He said to the apprentice who stood outside the door for a long time: "According to this prescription, take this brother to grab the medicine, and then pack a month's ginseng slices. Remember, it will be 50 years old."

The apprentice, who was already dizzy from the shock of his sweetheart actually having a son, took Fang Zi and walked ahead like an eggplant beaten by frost.

I saw him alive and well just now, and it was like this in a blink of an eye, Lin Zhen was a little puzzled.

He hugged Gu Shuanzi tightly, and followed the apprentice. The apprentice grabbed two medicines according to the prescription, and wrapped a pack of 50-year-old ginseng slices: "Brother Lin, these two medicines are decocted twice a day. Put three bowls of water each time you fry, and pour it out when there is only one bowl of water left."

"Ginseng slices are used once every three days, and they are also decocted with three bowls of water."

"Thank you, how much silver in total?"

"Two pieces of medicine are five taels of silver, and ginseng slices are 45 taels." It is hard to find 50-year-old ginseng slices, and the price is naturally high.

Lin Zhen paused, and he asked the apprentice: "I don't have that much silver on me, can I bring it tomorrow?"

Dozens of taels of silver is not light, and ordinary people would not carry so much silver on them. Before he went to Datianzi Village, he did not expect this to happen, so he only brought eight taels of silver with him.

The apprentice was a little embarrassed, he said to Lin Zhen, "I'll ask the shopkeeper."

After a while, he came out from behind with a happy expression on his face: "The shopkeeper is an old customer of your Malatang, and I promise to give you credit first."

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of the medical center turned out to be his own fan of Malatang. Lin Zhen lamented his good luck in his heart. He signed his name on the credit note, stamped it with a red handprint, and held Gu Shuanzi in one hand and the medicine in the other. out of the hospital.

"Go back to Datianzi Village first. I stayed at home for one night yesterday and I have to go back and pack up. I'll go back to Liyu Village tomorrow to bring money to the town."

The struggle just now seemed to have exhausted all the strength in Gu Shuanzi's body, and he was softly wrapped in the quilt, swaying gently with the bullock cart.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen saw a small shop on the side of the road that was not closed due to the wind and snow, so he went in with a quilt and carried Gu Shuanzi, and asked the proprietress to scrape a bowl of fragrant and sticky porridge oil.

He put the hot porridge oil on the table, scooped a spoonful to cool it down, and just handed it to Gu Shuanzi's mouth, his whole body was full of thorns, and Gu Shuanzi, who didn't allow anyone to approach at all, grabbed his hand suddenly , the cracked lips couldn't wait to hold the spoon, and a lot of blood immediately flowed from the lips, staining the spoon red.

"..."

Lin Zhen is not a very good person, but he can't stand a child like this in front of him.

He silently pulled Gu Shuanzi's disheveled hair back, and couldn't help saying: "What happened after you and Zhou Tao went back."

Gu Shuanzi, who had a spoon in his mouth, paused.

He remembered that when he went back with Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Ma vacated the most spacious room in the house for himself to live in. He ate either eggs or white rice, and had new clothes from time to time.

The three children of Zhou Tao's family are also kind to themselves, and they follow behind their buttocks all day long.

At that time, Gu Shuanzi actually breathed a sigh of relief, if he hadn't bumped into the matter between Lin Zhen and that man with his own eyes, he wouldn't have followed him to his uncle's house, which he was completely unfamiliar with.

He knew that he had a bad temper and was often called mischievous by the people in the village, so he was afraid of bringing trouble to his uncle and aunt's family.

When did things slowly change?

Gu Shuanzi's lips formed a straight line, looking at the steaming porridge oil.

He clearly remembered that it was the fourth month after he went to his uncle's house, and every household in Tianwan Village was busy with farming. Suddenly, his aunt called him into the house alone and asked him how much money he had left. I need it urgently, I want to borrow it for emergency.

Gu Shuanzi is not a fool, on the contrary, he is smart. He has been in the Zhou family for the past few months, and he has seen the expenses of the Zhou family. It is impossible for him to spend the four taels of silver that Lin Zhen gave to his uncle and aunt before he came. .

He asked his aunt what happened, but his aunt's eyes flickered, and she said sharply: "You don't need to know so much about adults!"

Then he came directly to him to touch the silver, found that the silver was not on him, turned the house where he lived in a mess, and then took all the remaining 14 taels of silver.

Before leaving, I said to him: "Auntie really needs money for something urgent, and I will return it to you later."

Later, Gu Shuanzi found out in the village that Mrs. Ma bought a good paddy field with the 13 taels of silver...

Later, Mrs. Ma wanted to take him to the silver village in the town to collect money. If he didn't go, Mrs. Ma would not allow him to eat, saying that he was not good. He wanted to run back to Datianzi Village, but was caught and tied up by Mrs. Ma. He also said in the village that he was out of his mind and would beat people if he was not tied up.

He is like the dog raised by Zhou Tao and Ma Shi. When he thinks about it, he can eat a bowl of rice in a day or two.

"Bang!" The bowl of porridge oil on the table was smashed to the ground by Gu Shuanzi in a frenzy, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and his hands scratched around like claws.

Lin Zhen hurriedly took out the silver and put it on the table as compensation to the proprietress, hugged him and said, "I won't ask any more, let's go back."

Gu Shuanzi's situation made it clear that he hated Zhou Tao's family very much, and even had a shadow in his heart. Lin Zhen was afraid of irritating him, so he didn't say a word along the way, and just drove the ox cart with a dull head.

When he arrived at Datianzi Village, Lin Zhen sent Gu Shuanzi home first, then returned the ox cart, and bought some eggs at the village chief's house.

As soon as he entered the house with the eggs in his pocket, he found that Gu Shuanzi, who hadn't closed his eyes for a moment, fell asleep.

The sharp and scary chin was stuck in the thick bedding, the bruises on the cheeks almost reached the neck, and the split lips were covered with blood, just by looking at it, you can tell how painful it is.

Lin Zhen stepped lightly, put the eggs into the basket next to him, stood by the bed and looked at him, and was about to leave when Gu Shuanzi grabbed his clothes and murmured: "Father..."

"..."

Lin Zhen cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhou Tao and Ma Shi were not here, otherwise he would have made them look for teeth all over the place!
