The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 7

In the afternoon of late autumn, the sun is not so harsh, and most of the villagers have gone to work in the fields after lunch, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Li Yujiao planned to hire the only donkey cart in the village.She left quickly and hurriedly, and she was already sweating a little before she reached Butcher Zhu's house.

From a distance, I saw Zhu Maowang, the dumb son of Zhu Butcher's family, sitting at the gate of the yard sharpening his knife.

Butcher Zhu is tall and thick, with a shiny face. His family has slaughtered pigs for a living for five generations. Everyone said that they killed too many people, so the family suffered retribution and gave birth to a son who was dumb. The dumb child has not yet grown up. When he was ten years old, his mother made the scales hanging from the beams of the house fall and was crushed to death.

From then on, the Zhu family father and son had a bad reputation. Except for asking them to kill pigs, basically no one would set foot in their yard, let alone a beautiful woman.

Butcher Zhu was resting in his room at the moment, and Zhu Maowang, who was sharpening his knife, was very surprised to see a girl walking straight towards his yard.

Seeing this girl's beautiful face clearly again, her face turned red immediately.He stood up and said a few words, blushing more and more ashamed, and finally put down the knife and went in to call his father.

Butcher Zhu came out of the kitchen soon, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yujiao for a while: "Aren't you a girl from the old Li's family? Your father is still lying on the bed. Where are you going with your burden?"

"Uncle Zhu." Li Yujiao had expected that people would gossip when they saw her going out alone with her luggage at this stall. Fortunately, no one saw her on the road when she went out, and she had already thought about what to say before she came.

Blinking and blinking, two tears fell down: "You must have heard about my father. Now it is extremely urgent. I have to go to the county town to find a doctor for my father. I'm afraid it's too late to walk alone. There are many people in the village. Your family has a car, so I want to hire your donkey cart, and the fee will be based on the market price, do you think it will work?"

The matter of Li Changfu was considered a big event in the village, so Butcher Zhu naturally knew about it.

He rubbed his hands and pondered for a while, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he just pulled his son into the house.

When he came out again, Butcher Zhu said that he hurt his shoulder while driving pigs yesterday, and it was inconvenient to drive, so he directly handed over the work to his son Zhu Maowang.

The little donkey cart swayed for more than two hours, and finally arrived in Ping'an County.

Li Yujiao hurriedly went to Ming Shan Tang, but was told by the store clerk that Dr. Du had an emergency, and that the patient was also in urgent need. Li Yujiao made a decisive decision, asked where Dr. Du was going, and went directly to the door of the family to wait.Dr. Nadu was simply treating people in the city, and he didn't go far.

The patient's family was in business, and the shop was in the middle of the street. Li Yujiao saw a pawn shop across the street, and seeing that it was getting dark and the pawn shop was about to close, she immediately asked Zhu Maowang to wait for someone at the door. It was to pawn the things in the baggage in exchange for money.

He didn't dare to waste a moment, even if the whole baggage was emptied, it was only exchanged for less than one or two taels of silver, but at the moment when money is being used, it would be good to have an extra one or two taels of silver.

She was in a hurry to meet Zhu Maowang, when suddenly a man appeared from the corner of the street, bumped into her and ran forward desperately.

By the time she realized it, the small purse in her sleeve pocket had disappeared.

She frowned, it was pretending to be her father's life-saving money!
She immediately ran after her, shouting as she ran, "There is a thief! Catch the thief!"
