Chapter 50 Picking up snake wine
Mo Xiu left very directly. Sometimes I don't understand why he comes and goes like this.

Holding the black snake jade bracelet, I slowly walked back amidst the sound of breathing across the wall.

I saw Qin Mipo sitting on a bench to one side to rest, looking at me: "How is it?"

I shook my head at her and helped her up: "A man entered the bathroom."

Qin Mipo turned her head to look and saw Wei Changshun and a group of young people frying gold flowers under the eaves. He seemed to have won, so she laughed.

Next to them were those who worked with them, or played with them or stood and watched, and no one noticed that there was one person missing.

Qin Mipo sighed, with a worried face: "Go back."

I froze for a moment and looked at Qin Mipo, obviously he knew something.

Everyone is playing cards, drinking and flattering each other, or busy cooking, no one cares about us at all.

When I helped Qin Mipo leave from the side of the house, I saw a young man patting Wei Changshun on the shoulder.

Then Wei Changshun squinted his eyes with a smile, and the young man sneaked away.

Qin Mipo obviously saw it too, and sighed lowly: "Retribution."

I helped her back home, the sun in the early summer afternoon made her skin sore.

Thinking about Mo Xiu's words, I turned my head and glanced at the bright self-built house of Mrs. Wei's house: "Did Gu Xiaolan live a bad life after she couldn't have children?"

"It's not bad." Qin Mipo's voice was cold, as if she didn't even cough under the sun.

Gu Xiaolan failed to conceive after half a year of marriage. It was found that it was due to her health, and she took medicine for another half a year, and then tried to have a test tube, and went back to Longcun to seek a child, but nothing seemed to work.

After more than three years of marriage, the Wei family beat and scolded her in the next two years.

One is to scold her for not being able to have a baby and spend so much money; the other is to scold her for taking so many gifts at home.

At that time, Gu Xiaolan was still very dull, so the Wei family became more and more displeased, and only wanted to stop the loss.

It's actually quite easy to use a woman to make money, not to mention that the Wei family father and son are working as cement builders outside, and they only come into contact with men in their prime.

"Have you seen that house?" Qin Mipo turned and pointed, smiling bitterly: "It was built the year before last. It was only completed in the first half of the year when Gu Xiaolan died."

I felt my heart tremble as I whispered, "Then how did Gu Xiaolan die?"

"He committed suicide by drinking pesticide." Qin Mipo looked at the rice field beside her and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you see the rope on Wei Changshun's bed?"

"When you can't give birth, you use all kinds of medicines, talismans, and various local methods every day." Qin Mipo began to cough.

His face was swollen and red: "Later, I realized that I couldn't give birth, so I started to think of ways to use her to earn money and build a new house. After death, it is just a coffin and a thin suit. I heard that it can be sold, so I also thought about taking it away again." Sell."

"If Wei Changshun hadn't been married for more than a year, even if Gu Xiaolan climbed back this time, it would be nothing more than..." Qin Mipo began to cough badly.

I hurriedly took out the water glass for her and let her drink the water.

The meeting was not far away, and those surrounding the Golden Flower seemed to be laughing loudly.

Back home, Qin Mipo came and went several times today. She was so tired that she sat under the eaves, coughing non-stop.

I went to boil water, and took a look at the Chen family father and son.

They were unconscious, and they couldn't drink porridge or water, so leaving it like this was really not an option.

But if I burn them directly according to what Mo Xiu said, don't say it's hard to explain, I still won't be able to pass the hurdle in my heart after all.

Chen Quan only has one grandma, and the Chen family will no longer take care of their father and son, or else they wouldn't have done it back then, and they would drag me to take care of their father and son.

Send it to the hospital, every day is money, I am poor and white now.

When I think about this, I feel that money is a big problem.

On the bed, Chen Quan and his son were still lying peacefully, neither alive nor dead.

I walked out, sat under the eaves and called the town hospital, and asked them to take the Chen family and his son there.

Qin Mipo sighed, turned around and entered the room, and when she came out, she gave me two stacks of money: "Pay the medical expenses first, and find someone to look after it."

The village head of their village probably also raised this question last time, so Qin Mipo asked me to carry it in.

There are nurses in the hospital, and they can pay a piece of money.

I don't have any stubbornness now, so I took the money and nodded.

When the ambulance arrived from the town, Mipo Qin and I had already had dinner.

I went with him to the hospital. After all, he had to pay for hospitalization and so on.

The nurse who accompanied me in the car kept looking at me with sparkling eyes.

After all, during this period of time, I have been in and out of the hospital a few times. People don't know me and I am surprised that one person from the Chen family died in the hospital.

When I got to the hospital, because the Chen family and his son were also forced out of the hospital last time, the hospital probably heard about the whole story. Even though I didn't have an ID card, they still admitted me to the hospital and arranged for a nurse.

After I finished doing this, I watched the father and son lying on the bed with intubations, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The town hospital is not too far from my home, so I took advantage of the night to take a taxi to my home.

The house has been sealed, with banners for low prices.

I took a few glances and walked straight into the next shop.

Aunt Liu's noodle shop closed after lunch at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but in the evening they fried the saozi for the next day.

When she saw me, she hurriedly looked outside, pulled me in and closed the door, and sighed: "Why are you here? The Chen family is selling their house recently, so don't let them see it, or it will be a must." Tell you a few words."

Although Aunt Liu is straightforward, she is still quite enthusiastic.

"I'll cook you a bowl of beef noodles. The freshly fried shaozi is delicious." Aunt Liu looked at me sympathetically.

He said frankly: "I'll make you another candied egg, the one that runs yellow. Every time your father orders you noodles, he makes a special confession."

My heart felt sour when I heard it. The day before the accident was my birthday, and my dad even cooked it himself and made yellow bone fish soup.

The fish soup was boiled to a milky white color, and on top of it lay my mother's lightly fried eggs with two sugar centers. They turned yellow when you bite them, and your mouth was filled with the aroma of eggs...

I turned my head and glanced over there involuntarily, but there were two walls, but I couldn't go back to that house.

There were several bottles of soaking medicinal wine on the counter, one of which was snake wine.

The wine at Aunt Liu's place is sold by the glass, calculated on a two-dollar basis.

The price is written on each glass bottle, from lowest to highest, and the one at the bottom is the snake wine.

Inside was a piebald-bellied snake, weighing at least two kilograms. The brown body of the snake was coiled in the glass bottle, almost filling the entire glass bottle.

The medicinal materials were squeezed to the edge of the bottle, and even the color of the wine was darker.

I took the cup and turned on the faucet switch on the bottom.

The current glass bottles are all placed from the bottom. It is quite safe for snake wine without opening the cap.

The glasses at Aunt Liu's house are specific, and there is exactly one tael per cup.

As soon as I put the wine down and the smell of the wine dissipated, Aunt Liu hurriedly came over and grabbed me: "You drink?"

"I can't drink this. Your father specially brewed this snake wine for me. The medicinal effect is too strong, so it's not suitable for you." Aunt Liu hurriedly took the wine I poured and opened the glass cover.

Poured the wine back: "You eat noodles, I fried two eggs for you. In the future, if you have nothing to do, come over to eat, and Auntie won't charge you. If you have anything to do, tell Auntie, even if you can't help I'm busy, but it's okay to come up with ideas."

I stood aside and watched the drink poured in.

The patchouli moved a little because of the floating of the wine.

I turned my head and glanced, the snake's eyes were closed tightly, and I didn't know whether it was alive or dead: "Is this the snake my dad collected and soaked it? Vipers are said to be very poisonous?"

"No matter how venomous the snake is, it will just lie in front of your house and let your father pick it up and make wine." Aunt Liu pushed me to sit down.

As if to enlighten me, he said with a smile: "You forgot, your father was born to be a snake wine business."

"Outside your house, snakes crawl over by themselves from time to time, coiled motionless like dead snakes for your dad to pick up and make wine." Aunt Liu seemed a little sad.

He sighed and said, "There are actually snake wine sellers in this town, and there are quite a few selling them at fairs everywhere, but which one is as effective as your dad's snake wine?"

"There are people outside who buy your dad's snake wine, saying it's good wherever you drink it. Look at your dad selling snake wine, and you wear the best and use the best. Your mother plays cards and rubs every day. Mahjong, your life is going well." Aunt Liu was filled with envy.

He smiled wryly and said: "It's not like us, we get up early to open the door, and fry scorpion seeds at night. We've worked so hard for several days, and we don't earn as much as your father from a bottle of snake wine."

My heart trembled slowly, and I looked at the Viper soaked in the amber wine: "Then my dad picked up the snake in front of the house, and sold the wine to whom?"
