Chapter 29

Saying that, old man Mu looked at Chen Xiao again, "I really thank Ah Heng just now, if you hadn't helped me, that girl Ah Li would not be able to get away now."

"This is what I should do."

After all, Chen Xiao consciously pulled the cart and walked ahead.

"Master Chen, wait a minute."

Chen Xiao stopped and looked back at her.

"I'm going to buy some meat and come back, wait for me for a while, soon."

The butcher's shop is very close, just across an alley.

Pork belly costs five cents a catty, Mu Li thought about the large number of people, her family alone has five people, plus Mr. Chen and Mrs. Zhang, the seven people have to buy a catty of meat at least.

After buying the meat, Mu Li stopped by to buy some bean curd skins, and went to a place that sold Hu Bing to buy three Hu Bing.

They came out early in the morning, and they didn't bring anything with them. They must be starving at this point, so buy some pancake mats to cushion their stomachs, and they will have something to eat when they get home.

When going back, old man Mu accidentally sprained his ankle, his ankle was so swollen that Lao Gao couldn't walk, Chen Xiao helped him to sit on the scooter, and asked Mu Li to sit on it, and he dragged them back together.

But Mu Li refused.

As soon as the car stopped in the yard, Lin's eyes were sharp, and she saw the old man Mu who was supported by Chen Xiao and Mu Li to get off the cart. She exclaimed and forgot about going to the market to sell baskets, and hurried out of the house ran out.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Lin took the old man Mu from Chen Xiao's hand, and asked anxiously, "Why did you go to town and your legs are still lame?"

Old man Mu's face was embarrassed. He would never tell his wife that he was sprained by being chased by a dog.

Chen Xiao: "Auntie, Uncle Mu was chased by a dog and accidentally sprained his ankle."

Old Man Mu: ...

Old man Mu looked at him quietly.

Don't you know it's embarrassing to say this?

Chen Xiao took a step back from old man Mu's resentful stare, leaned over and whispered in Mu Li's ear, "Why does your father look at me like that?"

Mu Li nodded his cheeks, suppressed his smile, and replied in a low voice: "My father is very face-saving. He thinks it is very shameful to be chased by a dog and sprain his feet. He doesn't want my mother to know, but you are the first to tell me. My mother, of course he would look at you like that."

"Can I pretend I didn't say anything?" Chen Xiao followed closely.

Mu Li raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder like a good buddy, but when he realized that the boy was too tall, he took his hand back again.

"Don't worry, my father won't beat you."

Chen Xiao said "oh", he is not afraid of being beaten by Uncle Mu, he is afraid that Uncle Mu will be beaten by his aunt because of himself.

But he only dared to murmur in his heart.

Mrs. Lin helped old man Mu to walk into the house, and did not forget to scold him, but her voice was very gentle.

"Tell me about you, how can you be so strong when you are a lot of age, can you outrun the dog no matter how fast you run?"

Mrs. Lin was thin and weak, with little strength. Old man Mu was afraid of crushing his wife, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously for fear of her worrying, so he kept clenching his teeth and enduring the pain. Walking slowly, old man Mu's face turned red and pale after hearing his wife's accusation.

"I didn't try to be brave. It was that mad dog that kept chasing me, otherwise I wouldn't have run away."

"Why does the dog chase you so well?"

"How do I know? I'm not a dog." Old Man Mu said angrily.

Hearing the voices of his parents drifting away, Mu Li said: "Mother, I'll ask Dr. Xu to come over and show Dad."

The old man Mu immediately refused: "Please don't ask a doctor for this small injury, I don't need to ask, I will recover after two days of recuperation."

Her father's ankle was very swollen and he didn't know if he had injured his bones. Mu Li knew that her father refused to ask a doctor because he loved Yin Zi, but health is not as important as Yin Zi's.

"Father, this sprained ankle can be big or small, and I can't hold it on. If there's anything else, I'd better ask the doctor to come over and talk about it."

Lin's brows were tightly furrowed, it would cost a lot of money to see the doctor, but if he didn't, if the husband's legs and feet were left with the root cause of the disease, their life would only be more difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin gritted her teeth and said, "A Li, go and ask Dr. Liu to come over."

Old Man Mu refused: "It's just a sprained foot, it's fine."

"If there is anything wrong, the doctor will tell."

Seeing the woman's resolute attitude, old man Mu sighed.

Seeing a doctor is expensive. Thinking that he had to spend such a little money after working so hard this morning to see a doctor, he was full of guilt.

Chen Xiao and Mu Li went out together, and when they reached the door of Chen Xiao's house, Chen Xiao called for Mu Li to stop.

Mu Li: "Huh?"

Chen Xiao took out a white handkerchief embroidered with peonies from his bosom, opened the handkerchief, inside were a few pieces of broken silver, he passed the handkerchief forward, and said: "Take these silver and use them first."

Uncle Mu's family looked very poor, and now his foot was injured again, it was time to spend money.

Mu Li was stunned staring at the few pieces of broken silver. These pieces of silver cost at least [-] Wen, yet Chen Xiao took them out without even blinking his eyes.

It would be a lie to say that you are not impressed.

However, she still has some money in her hand, and she has not yet reached the point of borrowing money.

Mu Li shook his purse in front of his eyes, grinning: "I have money."

Chen Xiao was dazzled by her bright smile.

Mu Li waved at him, Chen Xiao subconsciously bent down and approached her, Mu Li stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear: "I appreciate Mr. Chen's kindness."

The distance was too close, and the girl's breath was all on his ears.

After all, he didn't care about Chen Xiao who was still in a daze, so he ran to Dr. Liu's house to invite Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu was a doctor who traveled all over the world. No one knew his last name. The villagers only knew his surname was Liu, so they called him Doctor Liu affectionately.

Dr. Liu went to Ping'an Village a few years ago and saw that Ping'an Village was poor. There was not even a barefoot doctor in the village. Many villagers had to rely on their hands to carry their illnesses. At that time, many people died.

Dr. Liu exhausted all his life's knowledge and tried his best to take back many lives from Lord Yan.

After this incident, everyone in the village respected Dr. Liu.

After the condition of the villagers stabilized and improved, Dr. Liu decided to continue traveling around the world. After the villagers heard that Dr. Liu was going to leave, they came to the village entrance one after another and begged Dr. Liu to stay in Ping'an Village.

Those villagers who were rescued by Dr. Liu and their relatives all knelt down and begged Dr. Liu to stay in Ping'an Village.

Dr. Liu was moved with compassion, and the sense of loneliness he had been wandering for many years also made him shake. Ping An Village is poverty that can be seen with the naked eye. There is no doctor in the village, and medical treatment is expensive, and the poor cannot afford it. They can only rely on hard work to bear their illness. Although they have overcome the difficulties this time, illness is a common thing. If he is gone, the next time the villagers get sick again, they may not be able to bear it.

After careful consideration, Doctor Liu finally decided to stay in Ping'an Village.

When Mu Li arrived at his house, Dr. Liu was drying the herbs that he had just picked in the mountains a few days ago.

He is getting older, his body is not as strong as before, and he can no longer go to the mountains to collect herbs as before. This has resulted in a lot less types of herbs in his hands, and sometimes he has to spend a lot of money to buy them at the pharmacy, although the strong men in the village can also buy them. I will kindly help him to pick herbs, but it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and I often come back with a pile of useless grass.

Thinking of this, Doctor Liu let out a heavy breath of depression.

 Babes, once I write, I won’t edit the text for the time being~ This morning, I suddenly suffered from a herniated lumbar disc, which hurt so much that I couldn’t even get out of bed┭┮﹏┭┮I got eczema again yesterday, and it woke me up in the middle of the night, scratching hard , woo woo woo~
  Babies, you have to take good care of your body, otherwise you will be the only one who suffers when you get sick, woo woo woo~
