After the ancestors fell

Chapter 4
Dr. Lin checked Mu Shi's pulse, listened and asked about it, gave Mu Shi an injection, and prescribed a prescription.

Mu's illness is not serious, and he has been stagnant for a long time, plus this time he was very angry and caught a cold, so it just looks more sinister.She is in good health, she just needs to rest in peace and recuperate for a few days.

But after all, worrying about hurting her body, no matter how good her health is, she can't stand such weariness after a long time.If Mrs. Mu can't think about it all the time, no matter how good Dr. Lin's medical skills are, he can't do anything about it.

After writing a prescription, Dr. Lin gave the prescription to Mu Qingfeng and asked her to go to the pharmacy to get it.The illnesses in this family were small and small, and he didn't raise the money for the medicine during the whole process.

Doctor Lin didn't mention it, and the two younger ones didn't understand, but Mrs. Mu knew it.

She struggled to sit up, "Excuse me, doctor, how much is the medicine?"

"It's not worth a few dollars, let's talk about it later."

When Dr. Lin entered the old house, he guessed that the patient in front of him was probably the ill-fated girl from Mu Yuan's family.

The Lin family has practiced medicine in Qingjiang Town for generations, so they also dealt with Mu Yuanwai several times back then.Mu Yuanwai is a nice person, now seeing his daughter in such a bleak situation, Dr. Lin couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Mrs. Mu is a man of integrity, and he is unwilling to accept favors from others for no reason.

After hesitating for a while, she took out a small box from under the pillow, which contained a jasper finger wrench.

Looking at the finger ring, she suppressed the grief and reluctance in her heart, and passed the jade ring finger, "This finger ring is an old item from my house, it may be worth some money, let's use it to pay for the medicine. "

This ring finger is emerald green all over, with excellent luster, it looks like it can be worth a lot of money.

Doctor Lin didn't want to take advantage of the orphans and widowed mothers, so he refused, "It's only a few copper coins, so why use this?"

Seeing that Mrs. Mu insisted on giving it, Dr. Lin couldn't shirk it, and gave a note, "There is a pawn shop in the town, and the business is fairly fair. Madam, why don't you send the things over for some silver coins, and give twenty copper coins when you have money?" Just go to the pharmacy."

After finishing speaking, without further ado, he put on the medicine box and turned around to leave.When he went out, he saw the two sisters hiding behind the door and looking at him quietly, he touched Qing Feng's head, and said, "If you need anything, come to the pharmacy and look for me."

Dr. Lin is a good-tempered person. At this time, he was a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Mu. The jade ring finger can be sold for at least a few dozen taels of silver, which shows that Mrs. Mu has the ability to make the life of the two children better, but he still wants to buy things. Hiding, watching them suffer from hunger and cold.

What kind of mother is this?There is simply no motherly heart.

Fortunately, this is not his own daughter, otherwise he would be so angry that he would die of anger.Poor those two female dolls, it made him, an old man, feel distressed just looking at them.

Not to mention how angry Dr. Lin was.

Here, Mrs. Mu drank the medicine and took care of her for a few days, her body recovered pretty well.Seeing that there was not much rice left at home, and because he still owed other people medicine money, Mu Shi dressed neatly and decided to go out.

Rao had persuaded herself hundreds of times in her heart, but looking at the gloomy street outside, she still couldn't help shaking her hands and feet.

She has only gone out twice in her life.

Met her husband for the first time.The second time I went back to the capital, and then came back with my family ruined.This is the third time, and she is terrified.

"Why haven't you seen Granny Sun these days?"

Although Mrs. Sun always withholds money, Mrs. Mu still wants to get Mrs. Sun back rather than letting her go by herself.

"Mother, Grandma Sun has gone out, I haven't seen her for a long time." Mu Qingfeng asked childishly, "Are you looking for her?"

"No...don't look for it." Mrs. Mu regained her composure and repeatedly vetoed them. They are now at the end of their ropes, and if they continue to be held back by Mrs. Sun, they will really have a hard time living in the future.

In the past two years, Mrs. Huan Sun still cared about the rules of master and servant, and occasionally greedy for some things, but at least she still did something, not daring to go too far.

Back then, Mu Yuanwai hired a great embroidery master from the capital to teach his daughter. Therefore, Mu's embroidery skills are very good, and they can sell a lot of silver in the embroidery workshop, enough for four people to eat and live.

It's just that in the past six months, Mrs. Sun has become more and more mean, and more and more money has been transferred, and the life of the three of them has become more and more difficult.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Mu shook her head, "Forget it, let's go."

In the pawn shop, the shopkeeper looked at the jade wrench for a long time, and then sized up the two daughters for a long time.

Mrs. Mu waited anxiously, and in the end, the shopkeeper gave 20 taels of silver, which was a death sentence.

When they arrived at the Lin family drug store, Mrs. Mu counted twenty copper coins to pay back the drug money.

I went to buy some food and vegetables again. Mu's body had just recovered, and after finishing these things, he fell ill again that night when he went back.

The children of poor families are in charge early.

Although the two sisters are young, they are very sensible.The two of them were walking on their calves, boiling water, decocting medicine, cooking, and kept busy.

Seeing the two children busy for herself, Mu Shi felt very guilty, she knew that her poor health was mostly a heart disease.

Over the years, she tried her best to forget the past, but some things can be accomplished if she doesn't think about them.

In this way, Mu's health was good and bad, and he lived day by day.

In late summer and early autumn, the weather gradually cools, and the leaves on the trees turn from green to red.

Early in the morning, Mu Hongfei quietly pulled Mu Qingfeng outside, pointed at Sun's kitchen, with a frightened expression on his face, and he didn't even say anything intimidating.

Seeing her like this, Mu Qingfeng knew that Mrs. Sun had been discovered by her.Through the crack of the door, Sun's whole body began to rot, looking very scary.

Probably because she was poisoned to death, so there were no bugs on the body.There were a few scratch marks on the ground, and it was not difficult to guess that she wanted to crawl out at that time, but the poison was so strong that it attacked quickly, and she died before she could crawl out.

Probably young, Mu Hongfei didn't seem particularly scared.She hid behind Mu Qingfeng, holding her nose in disgust, it really stinks here.

"Sister, it stinks here, what should we do?"

Mu Qingfeng pulled her sister far away, "Mother is not in good health, if we let her know, she will be afraid, and her health will be even worse."

"Yeah, we must not let mother know." Mu Hongfei's eyes widened, "What should we do here~?"

"Burn it." Saying that, Mu Qingfeng pinched his nose, pushed open the kitchen door and walked in.

This garden was built very carefully at the beginning, and the houses were separated from each other. Because it was a kitchen, fire prevention measures were also taken.The kitchen was made of blue bricks, and Mu Qingfeng knew that there was still half a pot of rapeseed oil left by Mrs. Sun in the kitchen.

Mu Hongfei watched as his sister poured the oil on Sun's body in an orderly manner. After finishing, he brought the firewood over and covered Sun's body. The two helped each other to get out the surrounding debris.

Then open the fire booklet and throw it on the firewood. There is oil on the firewood, and it will start to burn when it meets the fire.

After finishing all this, Mu Qingfeng came out of the kitchen and closed the door.retreated into the distance.

Soon, thick smoke filled the kitchen and flames shot out.

Mrs. Mu heard from her two daughters that Mrs. Sun's kitchen was on fire, so she dragged her sick body around to look around, only to see broken walls and ruins, and could not find anything else.

It didn't take long for her to learn from her two daughters that Mrs. Sun had left. She felt strange in her heart, but she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, and it's good to leave. From now on, there will only be the three of them here.

In autumn, Mu's body was almost ready, and she started to go out like an ordinary widow, get embroidery work, and raise children.

Mu's embroidery skills are good, without Sun's embezzlement in the middle, the money in exchange is several times more than before.

The lives of the mother and daughter are dull and comfortable.

However, the days at Shen Hanlin's house in the capital are very lively.

Shen Hanlin's current wife, Xing Shi, is the concubine daughter of the superior Shangshu's family.At the same time, there are three concubines in his yard.

Xing's personality is domineering, and he often finds excuses to toss a few concubines and housemates.In addition, Shen Hanlin's mother, Wang, likes to set rules for his son's women, and the backyard of Shen Hanlin's house is often messed up, which makes others see a lot of jokes.

However, these are not Shen Hanlin's biggest headaches now.

In the study, Shen Hanlin prostrated himself on the ground with one foot on his head.

The owner of the feet was a tall man wearing a silver mask.

"Three years, you have been looking for that thing for three years, but you still haven't found it, what a waste!"

Shen Hanlin burst into tears, lying on the ground begging for mercy, "My lord, please forgive me, I have searched all the small places, I have been inside and out several times, and I can't even find a shadow~"

"Have you searched for them all? What about that person? Where's the body? Have you searched for them all? I heard that you even sent Mrs. Mu back to your hometown."

Shen Hanlin repeatedly explained, "I've searched for them all, and the two older ones are almost skinned. When Mrs. Mu left, the younger one was searched, and she didn't take anything with her except a set of old clothes. Take her back. The ones are also my people, these young people have been watching her all the time, as long as she takes out the things, my people will immediately send the news back."

The masked man snorted coldly and kicked him, "I'll give you another half a year. If there is no progress, I have plenty of ways to cure you."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Shen Hanlin got up from the ground, nodded and bowed at the two of them, seeing that they were about to leave, he hurriedly called everyone to a stop, with a doggy face, "My lord, what's the antidote?"

Another man in a white leather mask threw him a medicine bottle, and then left with the silver masked man in front.
