Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 10 Meeting a nobleman halfway

Smelling a smell of medicine, and seeing three words written on the plaque, she reckoned it was almost there.Walking inside, the facing wall is full of boxes containing traditional Chinese medicine, and a person with the appearance of an apprentice is weighing the medicine, so she knows she has found the right place.

It is really difficult to move forward without literacy, and she once again realized the importance of reading.But right now is not the time to think about these things, it's better to hurry up and get the medicine for uncle.

An old doctor next to him was seeing a doctor, and there were a few people waiting in line beside him, and when they saw someone coming in at the door, they all took a few glances.

Meng Duo felt a little nervous, and secretly tugged at the skirt of his clothes.Thinking of the unconscious uncle and touching the copper plate in his arms, she regained some confidence.

"Brother, I want to grab some antipyretic medicine, how much is a set of medicine?" She said crisply.

When the little apprentice heard the word "little brother", and saw a girl looking at him with bright eyes, his heart softened a little, and his attitude was naturally good.

He inquired about the patient's condition in detail, and went to ask the old doctor sitting in the hall for instructions, and then he brought a prescription.

The copper coins on Meng Duo's body were enough to catch three mates, and there was still some surplus, so she walked back with the packaged medicine.

The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, and there was no one pedestrian on the path, and Meng Duo felt uneasy.

She recited "Amitabha" silently in her heart, and she didn't dare to look around, wishing she could fly back to the village with both wings.

Don't meet bad guys!Don't touch dirty things!

The more she was afraid of something, the more something would come. Meng Duo saw a ray of light floating in the distance, and she was so frightened that she couldn't move.

Meng Duo went to the town alone to grab medicine, and halfway there it was already dark.There was no pedestrian on the road, only the sound of the wind blowing the branches, and the shadow behind her was pulled into strange shapes, which made her feel flustered and frightened.

At this time, all the stories about gods and ghosts came to her mind, which made her more uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a bright light flickering around the corner ahead, as if drifting over.She was so frightened that she couldn't move, she wanted to shout but she didn't dare to make a sound.

The bright light was getting closer and closer, and when she saw it clearly, she felt like her soul was out of her body.Seeing the object approaching, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and ran away.Her mind went blank, and there was a voice in her heart that kept shouting, "Run, run!"

Meng Duo didn't know how long he ran, exhausted and frightened, and limp on the ground weakly.

After a while, she realized that the medicine bag she had been carrying in her hand was gone!She became anxious, and this emotion suppressed her fear and made her dare to recall what happened just now.

There was a blood-red coffin on a carriage, and a white lantern was hung in front of the coffin.In a daze, she remembered a man dressed as a Taoist sitting on the shaft of the car.Since there are Taoist priests, it is not haunted. It should be someone who died and was transported back to his hometown at night.

Thinking of this, she let out a sigh of relief, annoyed that she was too timid to run away in fright and lost the medicine for her uncle.Anyway, I am a person who has died once, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

Uncle's medicine is gone, and there are not many copper coins left on her body, what should I do now?
She looked around her surroundings and realized that she had lost her way.where is this place?She panicked again.

Meng Duo couldn't tell the direction, so he chose a road at random.

After a while, she saw the light again.This time she didn't turn around and run, but stood in the middle of the road, not fear but joy in her heart.

"Hoo..." The carriage stopped, and the Taoist stared at her for a few moments before saying, "You are the girl who ran away in fright, right?"

"It's the slave's house." Seeing the Taoist priest's benevolent eyes, Meng Duo felt relieved, "May I ask, sir, have you seen medicine wrapped in yellow paper along the way?"

Before the Taoist priest could speak, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and a tall figure was sitting on the horse.He was holding a lantern in his hand, and it shone abruptly on Meng Duo's face, making her unable to see clearly what was in front of her, only feeling that the person in front of her was not too old.

"You dropped it?" He handed the medicine on the horse's back to Meng Duo.

Seeing this, Meng Duo took it happily and thanked her repeatedly.

"It's so late to ask a girl of yours to come out to get medicine. It seems that someone in the family is very sick, but there is really no one to help." His tone was not high, with a hint of coldness.

Seeing another man suddenly appearing again, Meng Duo's heart tightened, and he lowered his head and said: "The uncle of my family is sick, I have to hurry back. Excuse me, does this road go to Chen's Village?"

"Uncle?" He listened back, "It turned out to be a young lady, I thought it was a girl's house. Forget it, since it caused you to get lost, I will give you a ride."

Meng Duo took a step back subconsciously when she heard the words, how dare she let him escort a strange man carrying a coffin on such a dark and windy night?
"What? Afraid that I'm a villain?" He chuckled when he saw this, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "If I want to harm you, why do I need to deal with you like this? Besides, the murderer should have a picture , Tu Cai? Tu color? It seems to you... I just came over from Chenjia Village. There is a distance from Chenjia Village. It may take more than an hour to walk back with your feet. Your uncle's illness can't be delayed, isn't it too late for you to regret it?"

Meng Duo was a little moved when she heard that, but she is a little widow, how could she ride a horse with a man?If this is seen by the villagers, she will not be drowned by spittle stars!

Before she could refuse again, the man had already dismounted.He whispered a few words into the horse's ear, and then patted the horse's back lightly. The horse actually bent its front legs and knelt on the ground.

"This horse is psychic. When you go down to the entrance of the village, it will naturally find its way back." He motioned Meng Duo to get on the horse.

Meng Duo's eyes widened in surprise, and he got on the horse carefully.The horse stood up, and he asked Meng Duo to hold on to the rein, and patted the horse's buttocks twice.

The horse spread its hooves and started to run. Meng Duo was frightened and stiff for the first time riding a horse.She clenched the rein tightly with her hands, and clamped the horse's belly with her legs, for fear that she would fall.

The horse was really spiritual, it seemed to sense her fear, and it ran extremely steadily.Gradually, Meng Duo began to enjoy riding a horse.

In less than half an hour, she saw several flickering lights, and Chen Family Village was approaching.She didn't want to be seen riding the horse back, so she pulled the rein in her hand, and the horse stopped obediently.

She rolled and crawled off the horse, stroked the horse's mane lightly and said, "Thank you very much for today, hurry back and find your master."

"Hey..." Ma Er raised his neck and neighed twice, then ran away.

Meng Duo ran home with the medicine, and when he arrived at the courtyard gate, he heard Sanchun's movement, "Second sister-in-law, is that you?"
