Chapter 43 Little Feet
Zeng Feixia smiled cleverly: "You have such a little chance, and you are satisfied with such a little money? I see that scholar is stupid. If we have a brighter eyes in the future, we will definitely be able to pay more money from him!"
"Yes! Let's have a meal!"
Zeng Feixia took out two bran cakes from the package, one for each person and ate them with water.
Zeng Feisong chewed his throat-stinging bastards with difficulty and said vaguely: "Today those gangsters are here to cause trouble again. Fortunately, you are smart, they dare not do anything. However, I don't think they will give up so much. We have to be careful. Otherwise, we can set up a stall in another place tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Zeng Feixia's proud smile disappeared. There was a hint of panic and helplessness in her eyes.
After Ning Sanmei coaxed them out, she closed the door and said to Gu Yezhou: "These two are obviously scammers in the martial arts world. Use a broken pill to cheat you of money. Can you take this pill?"
Gu Yezhou smiled, smelled it in front of his nose, frowned slightly, and then broke it and sniffed it again. He also took a small point and put it on his tongue to taste it, and immediately vomited it out. He said coldly: "There is mandala in this medicine! No wonder it can calm the mind, relieve cough and relieve asthma."
Mandala is a medicinal herb, which is highly toxic and is often used to treat cough, asthma, etc. In ancient times, some doctors used it as surgical anesthetics. It is said that Hua Tuo's Mafei San is the main ingredient. Their addition of this medicine to this pill can indeed calm the anesthetic effect and can indeed make people sleep peacefully.
Ning Sanmei didn't understand medicine and didn't know what Gu Yezhou meant, so she looked at him in confusion.
Gu Yezhou threw the pills into the ashes: "It is the first time I have seen such a trick of cheating money in the world. I didn't prepare in advance and didn't know how to deal with it. They were trapped in by their words. Besides, they gave them two pieces of stinky tofu. If we don't buy other people's pills, we will be sad."
"What are you sorry for?" Ning Sanmei said angrily: "If they come again in the future, don't say a word, I'll knock them! Otherwise, we will be bullied by others on their necks!"
"Okay, leave it to you." Gu Yezhou smiled.
Ning Sanmei gradually calmed down and heard footsteps outside again, so she went out to see, but the traveling doctor came back with a cold expression. Ning Sanmei still pulled Gu Yezhou out and greeted him enthusiastically. The traveling doctor just bowed his hand lightly and got into the house, which made the two bosses bored.
The two of them returned to the house and it was already dark.
Ning Sanmei said: "There is not much firewood, so we have to save money. Tomorrow, I will go up the mountain to chop firewood. In addition to our household use, I can also sell it for money. You should set up a stall to cure people's illnesses."
"Okay!" Gu Yezhou nodded, glanced at the two beddings in the corner of the house, and said, "How do we sleep? Floor shop?"
Ning Sanmei laughed: "Of course, if you don't have a bed, there will be no bed."
"But there are only two quilts."
Ning Sanmei blinked her big eyes: "We two are one and one bed."
"What are you putting on the bottom?"
Ning Sanmei smiled: "I forgot, the landlord said that there are straw piles in his back yard, which can be used to cushions to sleep."
"Sleeping in straw?" Gu Yezhou looked bitter.
"What should I sleep without sleeping on straw? Is it possible that you can find a mattress?"
Gu Yezhou shook his head.
"That's it, I'll go hold the straw."
Ning Sanmei threw her big braid and quickly walked out. Soon, she carried a large bundle of straw back. Then she spread it around the house. Because there were fewer straws, the landlord asked her to carry it so she could only spread it a little wider than a single bed.
The foot wash water was boiled, Ning Sanmei poured it into the foot basin to Gu Yezhou. Gu Yezhou looked at the water at the bottom of the wooden basin just covered the water at the bottom of the basin. It was too little, but there was no way. There was only one bucket of water a day, and he had to cook, drink, and wash his face and feet. This was all he could do.
When washing dishes, Ning Sanmei washed her small and white feet with Gu Yezhou's foot washing water. Seeing Gu Yezhou look at her, she turned her head shyly and did not take off her dress. She wrapped her quilt in this way and lay down. Looking at Gu Yezhou standing there: "What are you still standing stupidly? Why are you not sleeping?"
Gu Yezhou smiled, but did not take off his robe, so he took the quilt and lay down wrapped around him.
The straw was spread out very narrowly, and the two were almost lying close together. Ning Sanmei said lightly, but in fact she was pounding like a deer in her heart. This was the first time she shared a bed with her husband she had long loved. Although she was wearing clothes, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. She didn't dare to move, and her whole body was tense into a string.
Gu Yezhou came sideways and looked at her. Although she closed her eyes, she could feel Gu Yezhou's eyes and opened her eyes. In the dark, she saw Gu Yezhou's bright big eyes staring at her. She was startled and said angrily: "What are you doing? You are so scared!"
"I must make money, earn a lot of money, buy two big beds, brand new bedding, and then buy pork and vegetables, so that we can live a good life!" Gu Yezhou said confidently.
Ning Sanmei smiled, and the shallow dimples on the corner of her mouth were intoxicating: "Okay! You treat people, I'll go up the mountain to collect firewood! Let's work hard together!"
"No!" Gu Yezhou shook his head and said, "You can't go up the mountain!"
"Why?"
"There are bandits on the mountain!"
"I'll go to another mountain, not to our mountain."
"That's not possible! The bandits have feet, so they can leave!"
"Well..., that's easy. I'll go and ask the neighbor who is washing clothes and see where to do laundry sewing and repairing. I'll go too."
"This..." Gu Yezhou felt ashamed and asked a woman to go out to make money.
Ning Sanmei seemed to feel his apology and smiled: "It's okay, I can endure hardships. Moreover, washing clothes and sewing and repairing are not hard. Go to bed!"
The brief conversation made Ning Sanmei less nervous, and even turned to her side and slept towards him.
