Chapter 140 The Elixir
Getting up early, Lin Xiaoman went to the county government office and passed the pork shop, and saw that the owner of the butcher shop was about to butcher a pig.Say yes to the boss and buy the pig's blood.

In the past, no one ate pig blood, and most of the time it had to be thrown away, but since the way of eating sauerkraut and white meat blood sausage was spread in Hedong Village last year, some people have slowly figured out some ways to eat pig blood, and pig blood is rarely unsalable.

After buying a bucket of pig blood and agreeing to return the bucket later, Lin Xiaoman bought some pork bones. The weather was not so hot, and she was a little craving pork bones in spicy sauce.

According to Lin Xiaoman's request, a lot of meat was left on the bones, and the price was more expensive than ordinary pork bones, but it was still much cheaper than meat.

Lin Xiaoman carried a bucket in one hand and a straw rope strung with pig bones in the other. When he came to the county government office, he saw that it was as usual. The two gatekeepers in front of the gate were listless, and they did not look like strict guards at all. Lin Xiaoman was a little worried about Lu Jin's personal safety.

It was said that it was a bandit who hurt people, but Lin Xiaoman didn't really believe it. Just seeing a tiger came up the mountain before, Lu Jin had to take people up the mountain to search it himself. The search might not be a real tiger. It might be that he was injured this time because of someone's interests.

Crack the pork bone and put it in a pot with other bones to cook.

Pour the pig's blood into a basin with salt and water to solidify for a while, then put it in a pot and steam it over low heat, and soon it will become pig's blood tofu.

After taking it out to cool, cut off a piece and cut it into thin slices. After the pork bone soup is cooked, put it in a pot, add cabbage tofu and pig blood to make a pot of soup, and eat it deliciously with steamed buns in a bowl.

The chef from the county government came over and took a look, "Miss Xiaoman, is that pig's blood you cooked? Is it delicious?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "It's okay, uncle, do you want to try it?"

The chef served a bowl unceremoniously. It looked like it was boiled with pork bone soup and pig blood, but it didn't feel greasy when you drank it, and it was a bit fragrant.

Seeing that he was satisfied with the meal, Lin Xiaoman taught him to fry pig's blood with chili.Afterwards, he served a bowl of pork blood, cabbage and tofu soup, tore some boneless meat and fried it with chili, and brought two steamed buns to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's wound hurt last night, and he didn't sleep much all night. He only slept for a while when he woke up early. At this time, he just woke up, and called all the staff in the yamen. He sat in the yard and ordered people to do things.

When Lin Xiaoman came over with a tray, he had already finished his orders, smelling the smell of dismantled flesh and bones, he hurriedly called Lin Xiaoman to bring it over.

Lin Xiaoman saw that although his face was still pale due to excessive blood loss, he was not as half-dead as he was last night, so he asked casually, "What panacea did your lord take? His complexion looks better."

Lu Jin looked around and said in a low voice, "It's really a panacea."

Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether what he said was true or was teasing her, but he heard Lu Jin say, "Do you know that Xu Yuanru is missing?"

Lin Xiaoman looked at Lu Jin in surprise, and seeing him nodding his head very seriously, a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Could it be you who caught her?"

Lu Jin frowned, "Is that why you miss me?"

Lin Xiaoman was embarrassed, "You didn't ask me this, so I just guessed it casually."

"It's a good guess, don't guess randomly next time."

Lu Jin rolled her eyes at her angrily, and Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt that the little county magistrate was becoming more casual in front of her. Seeing the rolling of her eyes, she wanted to poke his forehead.

Pressing the finger that was about to move, he asked, "Who grabbed her then?"

Lu Jin sighed, "I just don't know who caught her, but before she disappeared, she sold a few bottles of medicine in Jishitang, and the medicine was amazingly effective. As the saying goes: Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. I guess her disappearance is related to those bottles of medicine."

Seeing that Lu Jin nodded to himself in order to increase his persuasiveness, Lin Xiaoman also nodded involuntarily.

After nodding his head, he belatedly felt a chill down his back.

Lu Jin's words seemed to be implying her. Thinking of the seeds and novel food recipes she took out before, no one would doubt it at first, but after a long time it will inevitably become suspicious.

In the past, she and Erhu were too simple, and only wanted to lead the villagers to make a fortune together, ignoring the sinister people outside and the simplicity of the villagers. Maybe you can believe her words, but in front of people like Lu Jin, they are full of loopholes.

Lin Xiaoman said, "Your Excellency, you can speak up when you have something to say, there is no need to test like this."

Lu Jin was helpless, "Do you still need to test you? You almost slapped me on the face with something and told me you have a secret."

Lin Xiaoman had a bitter face, "Is it that obvious?"

Lu Jin nodded, seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, and comforted her: "I won't ask where those came from. If others ask, you just need to push them all to your deceased parents. As for the others, I will take care of the aftermath for you."

In an instant, Lin Xiaoman's big eyes lit up again, blinking, "My lord, why are you so good?"

Lu Jin was almost caught by the light in her eyes. Why does the adoring look in her eyes look a little like Lin Erhu?

Subconsciously raised his hand to rub her head, and then realized that the person facing him was not Lin Erhu, but a girl of his age, so he quickly put his hand back and snorted arrogantly, "You know me well? Little heartless."

Lin Xiaoman was stunned by these words and didn't know how to answer them. No matter how they sounded like flirting, when did the two of them get along so well?
After Lu Jin finished speaking, she also regretted a little, wondering if Lin Xiaoman would feel that he was Meng Lang.

But after getting along for a long time, it was her food first, and then her people, which really caught his eyes, made him want to protect, and also lost his alienation and indifference to others.

Forget it, anyway, the words have been spoken, and it seems irresponsible to ask for compensation. Lu Jin said, "Have you finished the work in your field? I'm afraid I won't be able to help out recently. When the autumn harvest comes, I'll collect corn for your family."

Lin Xiaoman nodded in bewilderment. Anyway, he also helped his family plant a few times, as if he wanted to personally experience the process of new crops from planting to harvesting, so he could say something when he wrote the memorial.

Qingshu has been busy for the past few days, he came back to look at Lu Jin every day, and hurried out again.Lin Xiaoman stayed behind to take care of Lu Jin's food and medicine.Fortunately, Lu Jin was young and strong, and after lying on the bed for a day, he refused to lie down again, except that he could not move his right hand, which did not delay his work.

Sometimes I need to write official documents, and Lin Xiaoman will write for her. The silky handwriting is as beautiful as hers.

Lin Erhu waited at home for a few days, but he didn't see his sister back, so he began to worry.I asked for leave with Xu Qiuliang to go to the city to find my sister.

Lin Wenyao has learned everything he can learn, and he just needs to stay at home and study hard. He has not come to the village for a few days, and Xu Qiuliang also wants to go to the city to see how he is reading and see if there is anything he needs to correct.

In fact, he also wanted to see Lu Jin from the county government. Others didn't know that Lu Jin took people up the mountain to look for tigers just as an excuse, but he knew it very well.Usually, no matter how fierce the two quarreled, they would be worried about it.

So, the teacher and the student decided to go to Qingping County together.
