Farming with medicine

Chapter 23 Redemption
Cardamom snatched her money back, and Lian Dong was also happy for her, "Doukou is young, but very smart," she praised the cloth covered with her face before walking, and she heard that the people behind did not keep up. .

Turning around, I saw that Cardamom was holding Qi Tengmiao's face, his whole expression focused as if he had been frozen.

The slap marks on Qi Tengmiao's face became more itchy because the cardamom kept approaching, "It's okay, let's go quickly, don't you want to enter the county overnight, the horse is waiting at your door."

He touched the slap marks on his face indifferently, and ran up the mountain ridge with a smile while holding the cardamom. Amid the sound of the wind, he said softly, "It's fine as long as you're fine."

Seeing the two people's intimacy, Liandong's face became hot, and she went down the mountain ridge to get home, and found an excuse to go to sleep in the woodshed.

The night is quiet, only the crickets and cicadas are heard singing. The broken thatched houses at the foot of the mountain should be replaced. There will be more people living in the future, and the place is too small.

"I've changed my mind, I'll go to the city tomorrow, you can go back," Dou Kou didn't ask Qi Tengmiao's slap on the face, already knowing in his heart that he must have been slapped by his father.

Cardamom went to the firewood room and smashed some heat-clearing and swelling-reducing herbs with a stone mortar, and touched his face with small hands, "Tsk tsk, such a handsome face." Qi Tengmiao turned his head slightly to avoid it, and Cardamom scolded, "Don't move. "

Qi Tengmiao's scorching breath was sprayed into the cool night wind, and beside his ears were insects singing and birds calling the spring water of the mountain stream, and on his chest was the cardamom that was struggling to give him medicine on his toes, especially her soft and warm Qi Tengmiao's face flushed even redder.

Then the moonlight, couldn't see it clearly, Cardamom said "Hey" and said to herself, "Why is it still red and hot? Could it be an allergy?" She stopped the movement of her hands and put the herbal medicine on her nose under her nose After smelling it, there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with a fresh smell, "That's right?"

Qi Tengmiao picked up the cardamom, "You wipe it slowly."

"Put me down," Dou Kou was picked up by the sky, and Qi Tengmiao's head could be seen when he lowered his head. He was only a teenager and still had drooping temples, and he would be a weak crown in a few years. "When you marry a wife, I will give you a big red envelope, thank you lady for rescuing me from your hands."

The wind on the top of the mountain swept the moist breath of the mountain stream across the village at the foot of the mountain. In a deep sleep, Qi Tengmiao followed Dou Kou into the city overnight.

On the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, the flowers of the day are asleep, a lantern, a horse, swaying with two people.

Cardamom insisted on sitting behind Qi Tengmiao, but he refused decisively.

"You just stay under my nose obediently," Qi Tengmiao smiled and hugged her to his chest, holding the horse's rein tightly with a pair of strong arms, and the little person in his arms sang, very satisfied, " It would be great if we could go on like this forever, without end.”

Cardamom pretended not to hear, but just urged him to hurry up, the pawnbroker in his arms was like a pot of charcoal fire, which burned her heart.

All the shops in the county were closed, so Dou Kao looked for the pawn ticket at the pawn tickets on both sides of the stone road, and finally found the same shop name as the pawn ticket behind the two red lanterns.

Treasure House.

"That's it," she excitedly took the pawn ticket and knocked on the door. Although it disturbed people's rest at night, there was nothing to do with the cardamom. Mother should not know that she took the pawn ticket to pick up things, lest she get emotional again.

After knocking on the door a few times, there was finally movement in the store. A clerk asked through the doorway, "Who is it?"

"Take the pawn, please open the door," Dou Kou said, stuffing the pawn ticket through the crack of the door, and then there was no movement on the other side of the door. After about a minute, the guy on the other side of the door said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the person in charge."

Cardamom smiled happily at Qi Tengmiao. After taking this token, the mother can feel at ease, and she can find an opportunity to pick up the younger sister home and reunite the family.

But after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, no one came out, so Dou Ko had no choice but to slam the door again.

In the account room, the shopkeeper looked and looked at the waiter holding the bracelet, and the way he couldn't put it down made the waiter embarrassed.

"The girl outside is still waiting, why don't I go back to her?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the lettering on the inside of the bracelet from the beginning to the end, "A village woman in the countryside holds this priceless bracelet but doesn't know its value. She is simply begging for food with a golden bowl. It’s a waste of money in your hand,” said the shopkeeper, carefully putting the bracelet back into the sandalwood box and covering it with a piece of cloth to prevent dust from falling, which is very precious.

"Go to bed, I'll go to greet you, but from now on, no matter who asks, they will say that the bracelet has been sold, and its whereabouts are unknown, understand?"

The clerk nodded repeatedly, "Understood, no matter who asks, they all say that someone bought that worthless item."

When Cardamom slammed on the door for the third time, there was finally a movement.

A man of about middle age pulled down the door panel and invited her in after seeing Cardamom, "Who are you?"

"I am the woman's daughter, and here is the pawn."

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to redeem the pawn. This is the pawn ticket. Please forgive me for disturbing you late at night." Dou Kou didn't sit down, and waited for the shopkeeper to pick up the things so she could leave, but the shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and sighed in embarrassment. Cardamom asked, "Could it be that the silver is not enough?"

Cardamom knew that the keepsake bracelet was exchanged by the mother for dozens of copper coins, which was not much money plus interest, but the shopkeeper did not accept the silver she handed over.

"You don't know that bracelet. Your family must know that it is worthless. I also pawned dozens of copper coins for your mother's pity. It is a relief. Now you want to redeem it, not money. The problem is that the bracelet has already been bought by someone else, and I sold it for a hundred copper coins, how about this, I will go to the cashier to get the remaining copper coins and return it to you."

The shopkeeper turned around and put down the curtain and entered the back hall. After a while, he came over with a bunch of copper coins in his hand, and handed it to Cardamom, "Take it, hey, blame my buddy, greedy for money, the rule in this business is that you die when it expires." Dang, he didn't understand the rules just now."

Cardamom took the copper plate and walked out the door without saying a word.

Qi Tengmiao hurriedly chased him out.

The shopkeeper looked at the door for a long time, until the two disappeared at the corner of the street, and then retracted his neck, with a proud face, "Hmph, it's just two children, it's really easy to lie, of course such a good thing should be left to someone who understands It's worth the people."

He called the buddy to come out to hang the door panels, and then he took out the things to play with carefully, "It would be more valuable if there is no engraving. Tomorrow, you remember to go to the boss Zhang from Qianjie to come over and inlay the engraved bracelet with gold to cover it. Words are ours."

"Boss, will that girl be brought back?" The man was worried. The sky-high price and one hundred copper coins are very different.

The person in the showcase said nonchalantly, "Inferior people from the countryside know nothing. They might steal such a good thing from where. I enshrine it for good deeds. Is it possible to wear it for them and let this treasure spend all day with pigs?" Dogs and beasts mixing together?"

　The word count is locked for the manuscript, just came out, sorry 10 minutes late
