Chapter 8 The Road Sees Injustice
The horse has talent and theories. The forced melon is not sweet. No matter whether it is sweet or not, they just want to twist it.
Ma Youcai said: "Three days later, I will send someone to your house to pick up the bride. This is the bride price, you can take it."
Ma Youcai left twenty taels of silver and left. Liu Xiaolan cried to death. He took it and wanted to be a maid with Ma Youcai. This guy has three wives and four concubines, and it is not his turn to be a concubine. Liu Xiaolan will be tired of playing for a few days at most. If you don’t take it, there are people coming and going in the kitchen, and you can’t afford to lose money and sell it to your own house.
Thinking of the sadness, Liu Xiaolan went home with the silver and cried. Liu Xiaolan lives in Liujiazhuang, not far from Wujiazhuang. In the thatched house, the gray-haired Liu Xiaolan's mother was weaving cloth. The cold wind hit Liu's mother coughed violently. In fact, Liu's mother was only in her early forties, and it was when a woman was beautiful. However, Liu Xiaolan's father died of corvee labor in the government. She only had a few acres of land and had no cattle. The two women could not grow crops well. Therefore, Liu's mother asked Xiaolan to go to a restaurant to help her. She could weave cloth at home and exchange for pocket money. For nothing else, just to make Xiaolan marry a good family. Xiaolan's younger brother Liu Tong could find a wife. What a simple idea.
Liu Xiaolan stumbled to the house, threw herself into her mother's arms, crying and whimpering.
Liu's mother was confused and asked, "Daughter, why are you crying so sadly?"
"Mom." Liu Xiaolan cried and handed the money to her.
When Liu's mother saw it, she was shocked and 20 taels of silver was immediately surprised and said, "Did you steal the money from the restaurant?"
"No, no. The big boss Ma Youcai asked me to go over and be a concubine. I didn't agree to him and left after throwing the money, saying that I would pick me up in three days." Liu Xiaolan said.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was very normal for a few concubines from wealthy families to have rich families. After all, wealthy families live well and have good conditions. Of course, this must be based on the premise of voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary vol
"Did you agree?" Liu's mother asked.
Xiaolan said: "I didn't agree. He left after losing the money. I didn't dare to put the money there. If I lost it, we can't afford to pay."
"If you don't agree, you can't ask for this money. I'll help you return the money tomorrow." The next morning, Liu's mother took Liu Xiaolan straight to the Ma's restaurant. The restaurant said that Boss Ma was not there, and Boss Ma returned to Ma's mansion.
Liu's mother said, "When we get home, we will go to find it."
The Ma Mansion is in a wealthy area in the city. The three-entry yard covers several acres of land, with a tall gate building, and there are two shopkeepers wearing them guarding the gate at the door.
Liu's mother pulled the timid Xiaolan to the gate of the Ma Mansion and looked around, "Stop, what are you doing, don't stay here again if you are a vague person."
"We are here to find Mr. Ma and return Mr. Ma's money to him." Liu's mother said as she took out twenty taels of silver.
A shopkeeper said: "We dare not accept the money given by Mr. Ma. Wait. We will go in and report it. If you don't see it, you won't know."
At the same time, Wu Song brought Liu Daniu to the city to Baicaotang of Lijia to get medicine. On weekdays, everyone's training intensity is very strong, and it is common for injuries to be injured, so Wu Song planned to buy more commonly used blood-activating and anti-inflammatory drugs and keep them for later use.
The business of the Li family pharmacy shop is always so hot. When Wu Song came in, Dr. Li was treating people. The first patient said: "I ate a pear last night and had diarrhea four times a night. I woke up early today and my stomach hurts."
Taking the pulse and looking at the tongue coating, Dr. Li said: "Don't take medicine. If you catch a cold, go back and drink some ginger soup and pay more attention to rest. You'll be fine."
The second one is also diarrhea, and Dr. Li prescribed a lot of medicines.
When it was Wu Song's turn, Wu Song said: "Why are both diarrhea? But the medicines they took were different?"
Dr. Li said: "This is called different from person to person. First, the first person is strong and has diarrhea only after catching a cold. After a rest, it will be fine. Second, the person is weak and has inflammation in the intestines. He cannot recover without taking medicine."
Wu Song said: "Look at my hand. My hands were red and swollen yesterday. Do you need medicine?" Wu Song said as he put his hands on the table.
Dr. Li smiled and said, "Who is so hard that he can swollen Erlang's hands."
"I caught two dog thieves yesterday. They were Ma Liu's subordinates. This rogue dared to bring people to the door and let me clean up." Wu Song said.
Dr. Li said: "I'm still wondering. Last evening, more than 30 green skins came to me to treat the wound. It turned out that Erlang was beaten, haha."
Dr. Li checked Wu Song and said, "Erlang's physique is different from ordinary people. If you don't need medicine to clean the dredging, you will definitely be cured in two days. I will give you a bath recipe for Salvia miltiorrhiza. If you are injured in daily training, you can use medicine to bathe."
"Okay, you can get a few more packs and add some ointment. It is inevitable that those who practice martial arts will get scratched." Wu Song said.
Dr. Li prepared some medicine bags for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and also took some ointments for bruises and injuries, wrapped them with lotus leaves, and asked Liu Daniu to carry them. Wu Song paid, but Dr. Li only collected 200 cents.
Wu Song said: "Doctor, why do you collect so little? Don't lose money."
"Haha, people you hurt often come to me for treatment, which is considered taking care of my business, so I can't charge you more."
Wu Song smiled bitterly: "Are you hurting me or praising me?"
Dr. Li smiled and said nothing.
Wu Song said again: "A few days ago, a leopard wanted to eat me, so I caught it alive. It should be because of internal injuries. Can you go over and take a look?"
Dr. Li said: "I am an expert in treating people, and I can treat cattle and sheep, but it is the first time I treat leopards. I will take time to take a look in the evening."
Wu Song thanked Dr. Li and asked Liu Daniu to carry the medicine. He left the pharmacy and went straight to the coarse cloth store, and bought fabrics for more than a dozen people.
Liu Daniu muttered with his back: "It's so heavy."
"Is it heavy? Then I will carry it, the clothes I make are not as good as you." Wu Song said.
Liu Daniu hurriedly said, "No, no. I want new clothes in my dreams."
After purchasing these, Wu Song planned to go to his brother's store to see his brother. At this moment, he heard the sound of someone fighting and the sound of a woman crying not far away in front.
From a distance, dozens of people were watching. Wu Song saw that this was not Ma Youcai's home, so he immediately passed by. He saw that Zhuang Ding Zheng of the Ma family punched and kicked a woman, and next to him was a girl of seventeen or eighteen crying.
He beat and scolded: "You think Mr. Ma's house is a vegetable market. If you are a stinky beggar, you will go in. If Mr. Ma says you won't see you, you won't see you. If you don't leave, you will be beaten to death."
When Wu Song saw it, he immediately slapped himself in his heart. The sky in Qinghe County was not the Ma family. He immediately went over, slapped the big slap, and beat the two evil slaves to look for their teeth.
It turned out that Liu's mother brought Xiaolan to refund the money, but Mr. Ma just disappeared. The guardian beat Liu's mother and the other two, and happened to meet Wu Song and Liu Daniu.
Liu's mother Xie said to Wu Song: "Thank you, this sturdy man, but the Ma family can't afford to offend him. You might as well leave quickly."
