Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 21
"You said you would carry me on your back." Liu Man'er said softly.

Ye Yuan could only bow down, this silly lady, she is stupid in other ways, but remembers things related to her own interests clearly.

"Come up." Ye Yuan put the bow in front of him.

"I'll help you carry the bow." Liu Man'er took the bow and arrow from Ye Yuan's neck, carried it on her body, and finally climbed onto his back contentedly.

His quilt was generous and warm, and Liu Man'er even smelled the long-lost scent, lying on his back, two lines of tears could not help but flow down slowly again.

"Women are really made of water." Ye Yuan shook his head, carried Liu Man'er on his back, and walked forward with a basket.

"Men are made of stone, you see your back is too hard, it hurts me."

"Okay, I'll carry you, but you still despise me, then come down and go by yourself."

"I don't." Liu Man'er just leaned on his back and refused to get off.

But Ye Yuan's physical fitness is indeed good, he carried Liu Man'er on his back for about three miles, and he still didn't breathe, but Liu Man'er had enough rest, and she also felt sorry for him, and didn't want to tire him, so she went Get off his back.

"I don't see how strong you are." Liu Man'er praised.

"What is this? Look at your head, it only weighs seventy or eighty catties. When we were in the army, we used to carry stones weighing a hundred catties on our backs every time we ran."

Ye Yuan was not proud of this, when he talked about his life in the army, his face was slightly reminiscent.

"Then do you still want to go to the army?" Liu Man'er asked.

If he wants to go, although she is reluctant to give up, she will not stop him. After all, for a man, making meritorious deeds is a top priority.

Besides, there is indeed nothing to see in this village, not to mention the poverty of the family. Now walking on the road, at a glance, weeds are growing wildly everywhere.

"I don't want to go, I will stay with you at home and take care of the family." Ye Yuan said seriously.

When Liu Man'er heard what he said, she fell silent, and walked for another half an hour, and the two finally arrived in the county seat.

The streets in the county town are all paved with bluestone slabs, which are much wider than those in the town. Walking on the street, from time to time you see people passing by on horseback, people who want to carry sedan chairs, people who drive carriages, and people who drive old people. The cow walked slowly across the bluestone slab.

All of this was very novel to Liu Man'er.

Only here can I feel a strong ancient style coming from the pavement. The shops with blue bricks and black tiles on both sides, the wooden plaques, and the inviting banners fluttering in the wind beside the shop, everything looks so antique.

There was an endless stream of cries, and as soon as I set foot on the street, bursts of fragrance rushed to my face.

Liu Man'er couldn't help secreting saliva, it's almost noon, and she just ate a piece of sweet potato today.

Fifteen or sixteen years old, when she was growing her body, she touched her empty stomach, she was really hungry.

However, she could only swallow the saliva, without it, the two of them came out without any money.

Although she is sometimes willful, she doesn't want Ye Yuan to make things difficult.

What she doesn't like to see the most is when a man bends his waist for five buckets of rice. If she says that she is hungry later, Ye Yuan will definitely feel very embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's go." Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan's clothes, and said, "Let's find a place to sell snakes, don't stay here."

Ye Yuan was pulled forward by Liu Man'er, but at this moment, Liu Man'er's stomach groaned.

"Are you hungry?" Ye Yuan asked.

Liu Man'er blushed a little, and nodded, "I'm a little hungry, but it's okay, we'll get money selling this snake, and then we'll come and eat all the things on the street!"

"Then let's go to the pharmacy and ask." Ye Yuan said.

In fact, although he often passes by this county town, he doesn't come here often. At this moment, he doesn't know where the door of this pharmacy will open.

Liu Man'er was flexible, and when she saw someone, she asked sweetly. In ancient times, she never stopped talking to strangers. Soon, a kind person told Liu Man'er the address of the medicine shop.

It should be the largest pharmacy in this county. When Liu Man'er and the two entered, there were already many patients in the hall. Seeing Liu Man'er and the two walking forward, the elementary school apprentice who ran the hall spoke to Liu Man'er in a very unfriendly tone. Said, "If you want to see a doctor, please line up."

As he spoke, he looked Liu Man'er and the two of them up and down again. As usual, he commented on their clothes, looked at them with disdain, and then went to the two people who came in behind Liu Man'er.

"The child is really sick, please take a look at the old man." It was an old woman, and the person with her should be her little grandson.

"When we see a doctor here, we will charge you ten money first." The young apprentice's tone was still bad.

"Shiwen, I didn't bring so much money today, let me show you first, okay?" the old woman begged.

"Why don't you have money to see a disease?" The little apprentice sneered, but drove them out.

"Aren't these people too philistine?" Liu Man'er whispered to Ye Yuan.

She always thought that the folk customs here are simple and honest, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Before, our Daliang had been in war for years, and it just calmed down. The people have not been educated, so it's normal to behave like this."

Ye Yuan read it very openly, and Liu Man'er found that although he was an ordinary farmer, he really seemed to know a lot.

"You know a lot." She expressed the question in her heart.

"I've been a soldier outside for a few years, so I'll know after seeing too much." Ye Yuan smiled slightly.

Possibly, as her horizons broaden, her knowledge will naturally be different. Liu Man'er doesn't know what he has experienced in the army before, but she just feels that this man is enough to be her reliance.

"Then do we still want to sell our snakes to this shop?" Liu Man'er was inexplicably timid, probably because the attitude of the people here is very bad.

She thought it was a joke that the snake she had imagined could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

But if it wasn't for Ye Yuan's quick hands this morning, the snake would have really bit them.

I remembered the words of the shopkeeper in the town, these days, human life is worthless!
"Let's try it first." Ye Yuan walked forward with a calm expression, and said to the little apprentice, "We came here to have a taste of good medicinal materials, and we want to sell them to your pharmacy, where is your shopkeeper?"

After the little apprentice heard Ye Yuan's words, he looked at the pannier in Ye Yuan's hand again, and his voice became louder in an instant, with a superior reprimand in his tone: "Didn't I tell you that we have to go to sell medicinal materials?" Backyard, go through the back door, what are you doing here at the front door?"

Liu Man'er was the first one who couldn't stand such scolding, who, they haven't spoken yet, and they are not his slaves.

"It's just a little apprentice, but you are so arrogant. Who do you think we are, we still have to sell it to you? Your shop is open, and I can come in if I want. What's the matter with you?" Liu Man'er hurriedly retorted.

It doesn't matter if she is scolded like this, but Ye Yuan beside her is an imposing man of seven feet, how can he be so despised by others!
"Forget it, Ye Yuan, we won't sell it anymore!" Somewhat annoyed, Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan and ran out of the shop.

Someone noticed the commotion here, the little apprentice snorted proudly, and Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan ran out, a bit like fleeing.

"Hey, people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes. This time I really made a mistake!" Liu Man'er sighed and said casually, because the clothes they wore to go up the mountain were patch after patch. It was even more dilapidated.

"When we come out in the future, we must dress nicely, tie our hair neatly, and tidy up neatly, so as not to be looked down upon by these people." Liu Man'er said angrily.

"Okay." Ye Yuan said softly, "Our family doesn't have any suitable clothes."

Liu Man'er's momentum suddenly faltered, not to mention silk and satin, but ordinary civilian clothes, she didn't even have a clean, new, unpatched one.

"It's okay, let's earn money slowly, as long as we sell this snake, we will have money." Liu Man'er was not depressed.

She didn't believe it anymore, she came from another world anyway, although she didn't have any good skills, but she had a little more knowledge than others, right?Moreover, her ears are sensitive, and she can faintly understand the minds of beasts. This point alone has a lot to do.

It's just that all of this takes time, and nothing can be done overnight, but she believes that with her hardworking hands, she can make this family rich.

Oh, by the way, she is quite strong. In this life, she can be regarded as capable of both literature and martial arts.Ha ha.

After comforting herself, Liu Man'er put away her depressed mood, and put on a bright smile on her face, "Let's go, let's go to the next one, I don't believe it, my snake can't be sold, it really can't , I will go to set up a stall, although it will take a long time, but I can always sell it."

While talking, the two went to another pharmacy, but the people in this pharmacy seemed to be similar to the previous one, and they didn't treat the patients very well. Of course, this is all based on people.

So Liu Man'er lost her courage for a while, and didn't dare to try again.

"How about we go to set up a stall?" Liu Man'er said in a low voice.

Just now being ridiculed and scolded by that little apprentice, she felt a little dark in her heart.

"Go and try it first, you wait at the door, I'll go in." Ye Yuan saw Liu Man'er's timidity, so he asked Liu Man'er to wait at the door, Liu Man'er stood at the door for a while at first, but after thinking about it, She followed in anyway.

But this time the result was not much better than before, the people here saw this big snake, and looked at Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan's clothes, they were only willing to pay fifty cents!
It's really no business and no crime, which is worse than that guy in the town before.

Liu Man'er naturally quit. After leaving the shop, she couldn't help asking, "Ye Yuan, where did you estimate the price based on?"

"It's just us in Bingzhou City. I was stationed there for a while not long ago."

"Can it be the same?" Liu Man'er gave him a blank look, and said, "I can't go to Bingzhou City just because of this snake, Tian Lingling, Di Lingling, I don't pray that it can be sold for two taels now , as long as it sells for one tael of silver, I will be thankful."

Ye Yuan has nothing to say.

"Let's go set up a stall." Liu Man'er said.

"What should I do?" Ye Yuan glanced at her and said, "Could it be that we put this whole snake on the ground? What if it scares others? Or maybe the snake ran away or accidentally bit someone."

"Then we'll sell them in baskets." Liu Man'er said.

"Then how do we sell it?" Ye Yuan said with a serious face, "Snake, snake, sell snake!"

He learned it so vividly, Liu Man'er couldn't help laughing, "What you said makes sense."

Looking up at Ye Yuan again, he asked:
"But what then?"

Full of joy, gradually cooling down.
