Chapter 42

When she returned to her residence, Ning Sanmei started cooking. The rice was cooked and handed it to Gu Yezhou. Gu Yezhou saw a piece of stinky tofu in the bowl. She was surprised and asked, "Where did this stinky tofu come from?"

Ning Sanmei was a little proud and said, "The ones living opposite are two siblings who are playing tricks in the world. The stinky tofu was given to them. When you went out to borrow money, I went to visit. In addition to the landlord, there were three other families in our yard. One was the siblings who were running around the world. One was an old doctor, who was selling pills in the streets and alleys. The other family had five people. The wife washed clothes for others, sewed and repaired them. His man was a shop assistant. The two families didn't pay much attention to me. Only the siblings who ran around the world were very enthusiastic. I heard from me that we were looted by bandits and didn't take anything down. They were all burned. They also sympathized and took the initiative to give me two small pieces of stinky tofu to eat."

Gu Yezhou smiled and said, "You are really good. You have already met all the neighbors in just a while. You also got stinky tofu. It's amazing!"

"That's when we met a good person. The other two families lived a better life than the brothers and sisters who ran around the world, but they didn't give me a good look, as if I was going to beg for them. It was really annoying. I will never ignore them again."

Gu Yezhou nodded and said, "We just moved here. They don't know what's going on, so it's normal for them to be wary. The brothers and sisters who are in the world are knowledgeable and naturally they are more likely to make friends. I'll visit them later and thank them for their righteous help."

"They have gone out to set up a stall and may not be able to come back after dark."

"I can't be lazy even if I finish my meal quickly and I'll go to set up a stall, otherwise, if we spend so much time, we won't be able to live in the future."

Gu Yezhou hurriedly finished a bowl of rice with stinky tofu, and Ning Sanmei finished eating it, carrying a bucket of water to go out. Gu Yezhou asked, "Is there water here?"

"Yes! There is Nanjia River next to the county town. Although it has dried up and is almost broken, most of the wells in the city still have water, which is better than our village. There is a well in the backyard of the landlord's house. It is just because of the drought and there is very little water. It is stipulated that each family can only get one bucket of water every day. It is enough for us to cook, wash dishes and wash our faces."

Gu Yezhou was very happy. He could barely get through without taking a shower, but he was confused if he didn't wash his face every day.

Ning Sanmei said, "I'll come back from getting water. After washing the dishes, I'll go with you."

Ning Sanmei's movements were very quick and she quickly washed the dishes. She closed the door and locked them. She followed Gu Yezhou to the calligraphy and painting shop, asked Manager Wang for a foot of white cloth, rewritten the signboard for acupuncture treatment, and still picked it up with a bamboo pole, borrowed tables and chairs, and then set up a stall, and the two shouted together.

However, this day was not a day for the trip, and the people in the city had some money. When they were sick, they went to the pharmacies and clinics in the city to see a doctor. There was almost no way to see a street stall. Only when the country people came to the city to get a trip, they had no money. In order to save money, they would look for travelers at street stalls to see a doctor. Therefore, their business was very light for the past half day. When they closed the stall in the evening, only two patients came to take acupuncture and collected four cents.

Gu Yezhou smiled bitterly and shook his head. The two of them had no choice but to close the stall.

Passing by the meat market, Gu Yezhou looked at the pork 400 ounces per pound on the stall, and hesitated for a moment, but still didn't buy it. Today, the income is not enough for the house.

When he returned to his residence, Ning Sanmei cooked and Gu Yezhou wanted to help chop firewood. However, Ning Sanmei pushed him away and let him rest on his own. Gu Yezhou sat there helplessly, looking at Ning Sanmei busy.

The rice was ready, but the two pieces of stinky tofu at noon had been eaten, and there was no food left, so the two of them had to eat the rice like this.

Just after eating, Ning Sanmei was about to shovel out the crust from the cauldron. At this time, she heard someone coming in in the yard laughing. When Ning Sanmei heard this, she said happily: "It's the brother and sister who are running around in the world who are back. She hurried out to greet her: "Big brother and sister! Our husband is back. Come and sit down."

The people in the yard agreed: "Come here after putting things!"

Gu Yezhou hurriedly stood up and went out. At the door, he saw a man and a woman walking out of the other room. The man was short, but very strong. The woman was a head taller than the man, with a faint sword eyebrows raised towards the tip of the eyebrows, her eyes were smiling, and her oval face was full of smiles. She wore a light blue narrow sleeve tight-fitting short-sleeved body, and a yellow ribbon tied around her waist. The exquisite curve of the buttocks and breasts that were originally outlined by her close-fitting clothes made her look more convex and concave. She looked like a very angry woman. Her steps were agile while walking, and she was a trainer.

Ning Sanmei hurriedly introduced Gu Yezhou and said, "This is our husband, the only scholar in our village."

Gu Yezhou bowed his fists and said, "Hello, both of you!"

The two of them also clasped their fists and bowed: "Hello sir!"

Gu Yezhou let the two into the room and sat on a long stool. The short man said, "Our brother and sister's surname is Zeng. My name is Zeng Feisong, and my sister's name is Zeng Feixia. People who run around the world and perform. How dare you ask the sir to be happy?"

"I'm in the Gu Ye Zhou. The third sister said before, you generously gave us two pieces of stinky tofu. I'm very grateful, thank you!"

"A little bit of a word, it doesn't mean anything. I heard that your village was robbed, burned and killed by bandits. It was very miserable. We are very sad. You are new to you, and many things are not fully prepared, so if you can help, you can help, rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out."

"Brother Zeng is right."

Zeng Feisong looked at Gu Yezhou: "You scholars work hard to make a living, you shouldn't have a good sleep, right?"

Gu Yezhou smiled and said, "Why, Brother Zeng can still see a doctor?"

"I can't say that I know a little bit of fur. When I was selling my art, I also sold some pills. - People eat grains and grains, and it's hard to keep them from feeling uncomfortable. Among the prescriptions passed down from my family, there are the tiger bone Anshen Pills that specialize in replenishing deficiency!" Speaking of this, I took out a pill from my arms very skillfully, and wandered around my palms, and then said: "This Anshen Pill is a family pill, and I won't sell it for money! If I sell it for money, I am a grandson, that is, to make a name for them, I'll tell them to say my goodness, and after they pass on their names, they will come to see me to sell their skills. Wouldn't I have money to make? Just look for this, otherwise who will sell it for money with the things left by the ancestors? Wouldn't that slap me in the face?"

Zeng Feisong talked one by one and kept talking. Gu Yezhou couldn't even get into the mouth, but just laughed and nodded.

Zeng Feisong continued: "Today we are destined to meet each other, but we don't know each other. We all live in the same yard. We look up and see the good neighbors who look down. You are a scholar again. I am the most respectful scholar. Seeing you tired and hurt and unable to sleep peacefully, I feel anxious and worry more than my brother. So, I took the liberty to take it out and give it to you. You must accept it. I don't want your penny. If I ask for your money, wouldn't it be my brother's money? How can a family do that? So, you put your heart in your stomach, take my medicine, and don't spend a penny, keep your food delicious and sleeping! Sleep until dawn!" After that, he stuffed the pills into the palm of Gu Yezhou's hand.

Gu Yezhou held the pill, wondering what he gave him the pill for for free, and looked at him with a smile.

Zeng Feixia, the sister next to her, also helped, "Our tiger bone Anshen Pill is made of authentic tiger bones. It is the tiger that my brother beats himself. With a punch and kick, the tiger's head was broken! Really, my brother's fist is very powerful!"

Zeng Feisong quickly shook his fist like a hammer and continued, "I have to hit such three or five tigers every year, otherwise, if I don't have tiger bones to prepare medicine, my hands are very itchy. If I don't hit such a few tigers, I will be frustrated all over. Hehe."

Gu Yezhou smiled faintly: "Brother Zeng is really a hero!"

"I dare not be a tiger! Actually, it is still very thrilling to fight a tiger, but in order to match my tiger bones, I can only risk my life. Otherwise, who can sell the tiger bones to you? I have no place to buy them. If you have money, you can sell them on the street and sell them. There is no 100 yuan! Tiger bones! Real tiger bones! What is a hundred yuan? A few days ago, a monk who became a monk spent 500 yuan to buy my tiger bones and calm the gods, but I didn't sell them! - The goods are sold to the family! Right? The monk who became a monk took it and slept and ate it. Can he use this pill? My pill is not easy, how can he sell it like this? Where can I buy this pill? This monk only knows that my pill is good, but he doesn't know what its effects and benefits are. He buys it as a decoration? So I don't sell it to him! - I didn't lie, is it? Sister!"

Zeng Feisong turned to look at his sister. Zeng Feixia nodded, smiling like a blooming camellia, and continued, "My brother was not lying! This is really a good medicine, especially for you scholars. With our tiger bones and Anshen Pills, you can wait for the title of the Golden List and the top scholar to win the top prize! Really! When you wait for the day of your high school, don't forget that our brother and sister are. Don't forget that the danger of our pills is. Our pills are full of treasures. In addition to tiger bones, my pills also have Salvia miltiorrhiza, Yuanzhi, Acorus granulum, sulfur, Codonopsis pilosula, Schisandra chinensis, Night Gang Teng, Dragon Teeth, etc. I spent money on these medicines, but the money was only, this pill cost thirty cents in total. Why do you think it is so expensive? That's right, there are ginseng inside! - Anyone with ginseng is very expensive, right? Brother."
