sister-in-law

Chapter 17

Accompanying Su Ruoli, Gu Zhang squatted by the stove and had a hasty breakfast. After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, he simply took Su Ruoli up the mountain to chop firewood.

Su Ruoli was naturally happy to follow him, and the two of them talked and laughed along a trail behind the village to the mountain.

Behind the Gujiacun village are vast mountains that can't be seen at a glance.The trees on the mountain are lush and lush, and all kinds of birds and beasts come and go constantly, and Zilai is the survival of the villagers in Gujia Village.

When Gu Hongjun was not ill, he was one of the best hunters in Gujia Village. There were eight people in his family, and he could live comfortably without farming by relying on him to hunt alone.

As a child, Gu Zhang followed his father to go hunting in the mountains, and over the years, his kung fu has become more and more proficient.Although Gu Hongjun was paralyzed on the kang, fortunately Gu Zhang was sixteen years old and considered an adult, and the burden of the family naturally fell on his shoulders.

If Luo Shi was down-to-earth and took his children forward, in fact, these little days would not be sad.

The two sons are grown up and can support the family and support the younger siblings, but Luo Shi doesn't seem to be thinking about living at home, and he doesn't know what she is making troubles all day long.

In less than one morning, Gu Zhang hit a large bundle of firewood and caught two hares and two pheasants.Enough to feed the whole family for several days.

For lunch, I ate hare and pheasant chicken, but there was only a handful of black noodles left in the house, and I barely stuck a pot of pancakes.

In the afternoon, Gu Zhang was going to the town to buy firewood so that he could exchange some rice noodles.

Su Ruoli had an idea and wanted to follow.

After thinking about it, Gu Zhang agreed.

Anyway, there are mother and younger siblings at home, and father is also taken care of, which saves her from being angry at home.

Su Ruoli tidied up happily, then followed Gu Zhang out.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Luo Shi spat bitterly: "If you are a vixen, you know how to confuse men, you bastards!"

Su Ruoli pretended not to hear, and happily walked out of the fenced yard.

It has been several days since she came here, and she has no time to take care of the outside world due to one after another. Going out today to see and see, maybe she can gain something.

The nearest town to Gujia Village is called Qingquan Town, and it is about a dozen miles away on a mountain road that is easy to walk.But for these mountain people, they are used to it and don't feel how far away it is.Usually, the villagers of Gujia Village take some leather and firewood, and sell them in the town for some rice, flour, sauce, vinegar, needles and thread.

Gu Zhang and Su Ruoli took two rests along the way before reaching the town. Su Ruoli was already sweating from exhaustion.

In fact, if it wasn't for him, Gu Zhang wouldn't have had to rest at all.

When they came to the east of the town and unloaded the firewood, Gu Zhang asked Su Ruoli to sit on the shoulder pole to catch his breath, and then took out a small leather pouch from his pocket and handed it to her, which turned out to be filled with cold boiled water.

What a caring person!
"Let's go to the pharmacy after the firewood is sold!" Gu Zhang looked at the little girl's red face covered with sweat, and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe her.

Just in time, a strand of hair fell down on her forehead, and he naturally pinched it behind her ear.

His movements were done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he didn't seem to feel anything wrong at all.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, they are justifiable couples.

It's just that Su Ruoli felt a little awkward. It's true that they are husband and wife, but she is only a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and he is only a boy of sixteen or seventeen.

In modern times, this is definitely puppy love!

Moreover, between them, at least in her opinion, there was no love between men and women. Before she opened her heart to accept this boy, he was so intimate with her, which made it really difficult for her to adapt.

The tips of her ears turned red, Su Lili was a little amused, how could she be bewitched by a teenager in her adult soul?

Calm down, you should be calm!
The firewood was sold out quickly, and only five copper coins were awarded.

This is also the current market price. Gu Zhang was at a loss for these five copper coins.These copper coins are only enough to buy two catties of miscellaneous noodles, not even a small bag of salt.

Looking at the pedestrian-filled street, he let out a long sigh.He lowered his head and looked at the happy little girl, he was a little sad, he wanted to take her for a stroll in the street, but he was short of money, so he had to let her come for nothing.

After selling the firewood, Gu Zhang carried the medicinal materials picked by Su Ruoli to a medicine shop called "Hexuantang" in the west of the town.

There was only one clerk standing behind the counter in the pharmacy, and a black lacquer desk was placed on the left side of the door, and an old doctor with a white beard in his 60s was sitting behind him.

After the two of them entered, the guy who was dozing off immediately raised his head when he heard the footsteps, looked at the two with a dull face, and greeted them with a faint smile, "Hi, do you want to ask for a doctor or medicine?"

The clerk in this pharmacy has always behaved like this. He can't think of his industry as being too enthusiastic. After all, coming to a pharmacy is not a good thing.

Gu Zhang took off the medicine bag on his back, paused, and said loudly: "We don't see the doctor or grab medicine..."

The guy's eyelids drooped immediately, and the old doctor sitting by the door was leaning over to listen carefully, but now he was lazily leaning on the back of the official hat chair.

"Then what do you guys want to do here?" The guy rolled his eyelids and said with some disdain: "This is a pharmacy, not Leshantang!"

Dare to treat them as beggars who came to beg for food?
Gu Zhang's face darkened, and he was about to speak, but Su Ruoli pulled him away, "We are here to sell medicinal materials."

Just a joke, is there nothing else to do if you don’t see a doctor or take medicine?Open a pharmacy and there are fewer medicinal materials?

This guy obviously recognizes his clothes but not his people, and he looks down on people with his dog's eyes!
Hearing that he sells medicine, the guy's face is not ugly, he just glanced at the cloth bag beside Gu Zhang, and asked lazily, "What kind of medicine are they?"

Gu Zhang didn't understand, so he looked at Su Ruoli.Su Ruoli hurriedly replied: "Wild chrysanthemums, gossammon..."

Before he finished speaking, the man interrupted coldly, "We don't accept these cheap and worthless things here."

What?Are the medicinal materials collected by the pharmacy divided into three, six, and nine grades?What are cheap and worthless medicinal materials?Although these medicinal materials are common, their effects are not small.

Su Ruoli couldn't help being stunned, "Then what isn't cheap and worthless?"

She wants to hear how loud this guy is!
"That's a lot, listen carefully..." The man counted on his fingers methodically, "Ginseng, deer antler, Polygonum multiflorum..."

"Stop, stop!" Su Ruoli made a stop gesture with a headache, "Good medicine has a good price, and it has nothing to do with whether I accept my medicine or not? Besides, you can't just sell good medicine here, okay Medicines can’t cure all diseases, can they?”

The old doctor by the door closed his eyes and rested his mind, so he didn't look at them at all.At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Su Ruoli.

The man was speechless by Su Ruoli's words, his face was flushed red, and he wanted to scare the two country bumpkins away with those precious medicinal materials, but he was stuck by the little girl.

He blushed and waved his hands roughly, and said in a vicious voice: "This shop just doesn't accept your medicinal materials, how do you treat it?"

Su Ruoli didn't talk nonsense with him, picked up the bag on the ground, turned around and left, not forgetting to say, "This town is not your pharmacy, if you don't accept me, I'll find someone else!"

Can a living person be suffocated by urine?
As they were walking towards the door, they ran into four or five powerful men, carrying a door panel, and an unconscious person lay on the door panel, rushing into the door, still shouting : "Doctor, help me..."

Gu Zhang quickly grabbed Su Ruoli, who was rushing out with his head down, and dodged aside.
