Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 18

"Is there any ginger soup left? You and Sanchun also drink some." Meng Da said softly.

After hearing this, Meng Duo hurriedly poured a bowl for Sanchun and Siya respectively, and drank the rest of the pot by himself.The hot feeling went from the throat to the stomach, and the whole body became hot immediately.

Although Mr. Lin didn't wake up, his breathing gradually stabilized, which made Meng Duo feel relieved.

But not long after, Meng Duo's heart hung up again.Master Lin not only did not wake up all night, but also developed a high fever.

Meng Da found that he had frostbite on his body, and it seemed that he would die without medicine.There is no serious doctor in ten miles and eight villages, and the road to the town is blocked by heavy snow. Now it can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Meng Da knew that snake gallbladder could cure chilblain, so he boiled the gallbladder of the green-ringed sea snake, fed half of it to drink, and rubbed the rest on his frostbite.

After doing this for a day, his fever subsided and he woke up.

"Where is this?" He struggled to get up, looked around and asked.

Seeing that someone was awake, Meng Duo took Si Ya to hide behind the curtain.Meng Da told about the incident when he went hunting in the mountains and met him lying in the snow, and there was no trace of exaggeration in his tone.

Mr. Lin has been in the officialdom all year round, and it can be said that he has seen countless people.As soon as he saw Meng Da, and then listened to Meng Da's words and demeanor, he naturally saw Meng Da thoroughly.

"So this little brother is my savior." He was very polite and grateful, "I wonder if little brother can do me another favor?"

"But please order." Meng Da saw that although he was panting and his face was pale, he exuded a shocking aura that made people obey.

"How dare Lin tell Mr. En, please wait until the sky clears and the snow melts to go to the town, and go directly to Hulu Hutong to find Lin Zhuang. You show him this object, and he will follow you back naturally." As he spoke, he tore off a jade pendant from his waist.

Meng Da hurriedly took it carefully, even though he had never seen the world again, he also knew that this jade pendant was not a vulgar thing.

"It's estimated that I can leave tomorrow. Master Lin is good to rest. It's just that my family is poor, so I'm afraid I will treat you slowly." Meng Da put the jade pendant close to his body.

Seeing that Meng Da was so reserved and polite, he wanted to say something but felt unable to pull himself together, so he just shook his head and fell asleep again.

It is said that Lord Lin was carried home by Meng Da, and he was given snake gall to save his life.It's just that he's been out in the snow for too long and is too weak, sleeping longer than awake.But he was not confused, knowing that the Meng family was kind and affordable.

The only two quilts are on his body, and he makes a small stove for his food, even the two children don't have a share.Master Lin is grateful in his heart, and he must repay him twice when he wakes up.

Seeing that the snow had almost melted, Meng Da explained a little and then left for the town.

After getting along for a day or two, Meng Duo took care of him when he came out and went in, but he was not as evasive as Master Lin was at the beginning.

Before Meng Dashi came back at sunset, he was accompanied by a two-horse cart and four or five entourages.

When they entered the room, they saw Master Lin sitting back, with one hand on Sanchun's head, whispering affectionately.

Seeing that his master was safe and sound, Lin Zhuang stood aside and didn't dare to disturb him rashly, and the followers who followed him held their breaths and held their breaths.

"It's cold outside, hurry up to the kang to warm up." Master Lin glanced at Meng Da and said.

Meng Da stomped over and sat down next to the Kang.

"This kid will be promising, if he doesn't study, he'll be blind for nothing." Master Lin looked at Sanchun with a smile and asked, "I'll send you to study in the university hall without money, would you like it?"

"Do you want to leave home?" Sanchun's eyes lit up, and he asked again.The school in the village is not big, and he felt a little regretful.

Sure enough, seeing Master Lin shaking his head, he pursed his lips and replied, "Then I won't go!"

"A man's ambition is everywhere, how can he accomplish great things with such timidity?"

"Food and clothing are not enough at home. Eldest brother, second sister-in-law and younger sister are all living a poor life. How can I enjoy happiness alone? Elder brother is busy all day for his livelihood, and I can help at home. People like us dare not think about other things. Yes, I only hope that my family will be healthy, fed and clothed, free from disease and disaster.” Sanchun felt at ease after saying these words, although he really wanted to study, he was not a child who was ambitious and vain.

Lord Lin nodded when he heard this, with a smile in his eyes, "Very good! Very good! Be a man first and then study. Meng Da, you have a good brother."

Meng Da was relieved and uncomfortable, and made up his mind to send his younger brother to school as soon as he could.But let's forget about going to the university, he has no intention of asking Mr. Lin to repay him.

"I still have something to do, I will keep the grace of saving my life in my heart, and I will come to visit you some other day." Master Lin's tone was sincere, without the slightest hint of prevarication.

Lin Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and the attendants behind him came over with fur capes in their arms.

He glanced at Lin Zhuang, and Lin Zhuang hurriedly took out a bank note from his pocket, "Master, I only brought 500 taels of silver with me in a hurry." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Master Lin.

Seeing that Master Lin nodded, he handed the bank note to Da Meng, "Thank you, brother Meng, for saving the master, and I will bow to Brother Meng on behalf of the master. It is a little kindness for the master to disturb your house, and I hope you will accept it." .” After finishing speaking, he bowed to Meng Da.

Seeing that Lin Zhuang was slightly older than himself, Meng Da didn't dare to accept the gift, so he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhuang's arm.Unexpectedly, Lin Zhuang was more powerful, he pulled her with all manners, and stuffed money into her arms.

"This is absolutely unacceptable!" Meng Da is willing to ask for it. "500 taels is a sky-high price. Mr. Lin just stayed at my house for two nights and ate a few simple meals. Our Chen family villagers are simple and honest, no matter who they meet, they will help each other." Help, it's nothing."

He was an honest man who couldn't utter smooth words, so he said these few words in reverse, his face flushed.

"Forget it, he is an honest man, you convert it into silver according to the market price and pay him." Lord Lin said upon seeing this.

Hearing this, Lin Zhuang took out some scattered silver coins, and at a glance, there were about 20 taels, Meng Duo thought it was too much and pushed and shoved.

"You don't want the banknotes, and you don't accept the money. This makes it difficult for a villain to do well in front of the master." The attendants had already helped Mr. Lin into the carriage, and Lin Zhuang was in a hurry to get out.

Meng Da heard the words and had no choice but to accept it, and went out to send Master Lin away respectfully.

As soon as Mr. Lin left here, the village chief arrived with his people behind him, and regretted that Mr. Lin had left and beat his chest.

"Oh, I didn't even see each other. It's really... really..." He complained to Meng Da, "Why didn't you tell me that such a big man came to the village? Wouldn't it be nice for Mr. Lin to live in your house?" It seems that we have no manners? If Mr. Lin is angry, tsk, you did not think about this matter! What can Mr. Lin confess before leaving?"
