Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 418 The Great Hermit in the City (1)
In mid-February, the spring was cold and cold, and the light rain fell all night, and the next day did not clear up.

Located in an ordinary residential house in Mingzhou City in the northwest, a young woman dressed as a woman with a cloth scarf wrapped around her head was turning an iron handle vigorously to draw water from a well.

After a while, a bucket full of water came up, and she picked it up and poured it into a large jar at the corner.

"Erni, didn't you go to work today?"

On the low wall next door, a woman in her thirties poked her head out and looked towards the courtyard wall, "Your man is really promising, he is handsome, and he is still working in the yamen."

"Well, take a rest today."

Mo Yan was embarrassed, it was a headache for neighbors who showed up unexpectedly at such moments.

The woman next door was surnamed Zhang, and Mo Yan always called her Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang's man also had an errand in the yamen, and was in charge of shift shifts, and he only came home once every three or five days.

"That's right, come to my house and stay with me for a while, shall we?"

The meaning of "chat" is the dialect of the northwest region. When Mo Yan first came here, he was not used to it. He simply couldn't understand some dialects, so he made jokes.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm afraid I don't have time today. I have to go to the grocery store to buy something later. There is no rice for cooking at home."

Aunt Zhang is not a bad person, very enthusiastic, but she has a bit of a woman's problem, she likes to gossip.

Mo Yan has just moved here for two days, and has been to the next door several times. He wanted to inquire about the weirdness of Mingzhou City, but all he heard was that Dong Jia was long and Li’s family was short. Aunt Zhang knew who’s dog gave birth to a few cubs. Be clear.

Mo Yan doesn't like this kind of yard, and she has no personal privacy at all, but in order to be more social, she and Wan Qi Yuling discussed and found such a place.

A few days ago, the two were still in Chuzhou. Because of the disappearance of Tie Zhu, a gang of reselling corpses surfaced.

That group of people kept their word, but they were men, and they ran to the gate of the Yamen to surrender the next day, which led to the case of Tofu Xishi.

Xu Cai's case had not yet been solved, yet another one was brought out, and the county magistrate was very annoyed, because the response was bad, and the common people were talking about this topic after dinner, if the case was not solved, the pressure would be great.

The case of Tofu Xishi is very simple. There is a file in the yamen. Regarding the case of Ji Fendie, it clearly records the difference between hanging himself and being strangled. What Xi Shi's stepmother did.

The stepmother's younger brother came to visit and raped Tofu Xishi. Tofu Xishi threatened to sue the government, so she was strangled to death and claimed to have died of illness. The careless father was kept in the dark and didn't know about it.

People are doing it, and the sky is watching. If the body snatcher hadn't surrendered, this case might not have come to light one day.

It is said that for a long time afterwards, the people were busy digging graves and opening coffins to determine whether the bodies of their relatives were still there.

Xu Cai's case was only solved after a few days. After finding clues from the young widow, Xu Cainiang learned that the child was not her son's offspring, and then lured wolves into the house and killed both parents and children.

Mo Yan and Wan Yu Yuling were supposed to wait for the news in Chuzhou City, but within a few days, Zhu Miracle Doctor returned from the Northland, found the two, and the three rushed to Mingzhou.

Mo Yan's current identity is a small office worker named Zhu Erni, who works alongside the old office worker in the Mingzhou prefect's yamen. She doesn't have any cases. She takes a bath every few days and has a monthly salary of two taels of silver.

Dr. Zhu felt that his apprentice was too beautiful, which would easily arouse suspicion, so he changed Mo Yan into a plain mask, with a small nose and small eyes, just like a passer-by. After seeing it, it was hard to remember. Using modern words to describe, the whole mask The face is unrecognizable.

Regarding the name, Mo Yan has protested many times, but to no avail.She originally wanted to give herself a high-ranking name, but Master Zhu Miracle Doctor directly threw out three options, "Zhu Chunhua, Zhu Xiaoya, and Zhu Erni."

Xiaoya had already called her, so Mo Yan resigned to her fate and chose Zhu Erni, a name that also had a strong local flavor.

Wan Tuo Yuling didn't do much better. Just like Mo Yan's joke, he became the "son-in-law" of Lao Zhu's family. Originally, the Mingzhou City Yamen also recruited Yamen servants. Because of his thin body, he failed the first trial and was eliminated.

It just so happens that the master of the yamen is short of a record taker, the emperor is literate, was elected, and became a temporary worker, with two taels of silver a month, and occasional gifts from people, with gray income, such as a few packets of snacks, a few boxes of dried fruit and candied fruit .

After changing the mask and having no background, when Mo Yan was about to leave, she secretly stuffed the few hundred taels of silver bills left on her body into Zhang Daya's purse, which was regarded as repaying the Zhang family for saving her life. The Zhang family cannot be contacted for the time being.

Only when she was in charge of the family did Mo Yan realize how difficult it is to live in the market.Worrying about firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea every day, she is currently in charge of the meals of three people, pretending to be a newly married little daughter-in-law, but she doesn't know how to comb her hair, so she can only wrap it in a scarf to save trouble.

Also in Mingzhou, Mo Yan seems to be separated from her parents, elder brother, and second elder brother by thousands of rivers and mountains. A few days ago, she was shopping in a shop. When she met the servants of Yushifu, she was trembling with excitement, as if everyone was so kind. , she wanted to go forward and yell and ask about her parents, but she couldn't.

"Erni, why are you in a daze?"

Aunt Zhang talked for a long time by herself, seeing that Mo Yan was still holding the empty bucket in a daze, she babbled, turned her head and went into her own room.

There was a low wall between the two families, and I couldn't see all the activities on the opposite side very clearly, but Aunt Zhang couldn't help but put a small block under the wall, and occasionally stepped on it and poked her head to talk, her eyes were like searchlights.

Mo Yan pretended to be stupid on purpose, Aunt Zhang's eyes were too poisonous, she was very afraid of being seen out, so she was always cautious.

Taking off her coir raincoat, Mo Yan sighed, this kind of rainy day is the most annoying, she boiled ginger soup and brown sugar water to drive out the cold.

After Master returned, he hid in one of the rooms and was busy dispensing medicine. He rarely went out day and night.

Mo Yan prepares three meals a day, as long as they are delivered to the door, only the leftovers can prove that there is someone in the room.

Finding a furoshiki, Mo Yan took a piece of silver and went out. She agreed with the fish seller in the vegetable market that he would help keep a fresh and fat fish, and she wanted to stew the fish soup.
