Chapter 76 Chen Nong 2 updates please vote for me

Early the next morning, a new notice was posted outside Siye's Mansion. One was a list of the number of donations from wealthy households yesterday, thanking them for their contribution to the people of Beiyuan City. The other was a list of children who had recovered today, asking their parents to come forward.

Come and get people.

Chen Nong was a scholar, and an unpromising scholar. He knew Chinese characters and was familiar with all kinds of texts, but he couldn't write imperial examination articles. After several failed exam preparations, he took a low-paying job copying books.

Occasionally, I received a ghostwritten letter from a neighbor to earn extra money.

The hardships of life over the years have gradually smoothed away the pride of his youth, and he just wants to live a stable life.

His parents died young at home, so he married a wife who had wandered from other places, gave birth to a daughter, and there were only three people in his family, and his life was pretty good.

Who would have thought that a disaster would break the barely stable life. His daughter has been missing since the day before yesterday and her life and death are unknown. His wife also suffered a disaster and is now lying weakly on the bed. This morning, she told him her last words, claiming that she was going to see her daughter.

Chen Nong heard the words and advised her to hold on, her daughter would be saved and they would get better in the future, so he did not dare to face his wife and went out to the drugstore to buy a life-extending ginseng tablet with the little money at home.

After buying the ginseng slices, there was still some broken silver left. Chen Nong looked at a poison he knew in the drug store and asked the waiter to help him get some.

He thought with despair that if he could not save his wife, he would not be alive.

The waiter looked at him strangely and said, "This medicine cannot be sold casually without getting him any medicine."

Chen Nong smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I don't mean to use it to harm anyone."

The waiter knew as soon as he heard that he understood medicine, and he didn't dare to sell it casually. "Then what are you going to buy? We can't just give people medicine without a doctor's prescription."

Chen Nong was about to explain when the sound of gongs passed by outside, accompanied by the crisp voice of a young man, "A child in Siye Mansion has recovered, a child has recovered."

"Has a child in Si Ye Mansion recovered?" The waiter exclaimed, "No, I have to ask the shopkeeper for leave to have a look."

After the waiter finished speaking, he ran away. Chen Nong had no time to shout. After a while, he heard the quarrel between the two people behind the curtain.

"You are illiterate. What are you going to do? You can't even understand it!"

"My younger brother is in there. If the child recovers, he will be my younger brother. Shopkeeper, why don't you deduct two days' wages from me?"

"Don't you have parents? Let your parents go see you."

"My parents are getting older..."

"Don't do it again!"

After a while, the waiter came out with a gray face and saw Chen Nong still standing there. He was about to lose his temper and paused. Then he looked at Chen Nong carefully and suddenly said: "This brother is a scholar at first glance.

Are you literate?"

Chen Nong was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The waiter immediately held his hand and said excitedly: "Well, brother, please help me go to Siye Mansion to see if there is a boy named Feng An, nicknamed Xiaodouzi, in the new announcement."

After he finished speaking, he took out a few copper coins from his arms and gave them to Chen Nong, "Brother, if you don't want to run away in vain, please help me see this time. Whether it is available or not, I will try to see if I can sell the medicine you want."

Here it is, it’s settled, please leave it to my brother.”

Chen Nong took the copper coins stuffed into his hand and was thanked and pushed out of the door by the waiter.

When he turned around, the waiter waved to him again, forcing Chen Nong to hold back his words of rejection.

That’s all, once you help someone, treat it as a blessing for your family in the next life.

Going all the way to Siye Mansion, Chen Nong found that there were many people on the same road.

The content of the conversation was about how Siyefu and the government office were doing, and the tone of their words was very trusting of Siyefu.

Chen Nong, who usually rarely spoke, listened for a long time and couldn't help but interjected, "I have never seen Siye Mansion and the government office think about the people so much in the past. How could they treat people's illnesses and eliminate disasters for no reason this time? I'm afraid

What's the conspiracy?"

"What you said is wrong. My son was rescued by the disciples of Siye Mansion. After that, he drank the potion distributed for free by Siye Mansion, and his illness was cured by the medicine. If you don't believe it, why don't you follow us to Siye Mansion?

what?"

Chen Nong wanted to argue that it was not because he wanted to go to Siye Mansion, but because someone forced him to entrust him. However, the people around him glared at him, making Chen Nong, who was getting older and less good at communicating with others, shut up.

Si Yefu has arrived.

The gate of Siye Mansion is still bustling today.

Chen Nong had never experienced yesterday's queue and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

He didn't go to the queue, but made up his mind to read the announcement and leave.

As a result, the bulletin board was also crowded with people, and people were calling me to ask if they had the names of their children.

The one at the front must be a scholar. His voice was hoarse from shouting. He called out the names of the children one by one without seeing him and only listened to his voice.

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet! You guys are shouting so randomly that you won't be able to hear what the person in front is saying!"

Chen Nong couldn't squeeze in. After listening carefully for a while, he didn't hear the names of Feng An and Xiaodouzi. He felt that he had done his duty by taking this trip. His wife was still waiting for him at home and he couldn't waste time here.

When he turned around and was about to leave, a name suddenly penetrated his ears, nailing his steps in place.

"Chen Mei'er!"

Chen Nong turned around in disbelief and crazily squeezed inside.

The person he squeezed away yelled angrily, "Are you sick? I dare to squeeze in!"

Chen Nong shouted: "I heard my daughter's name, I want to see if it is true."

Most of the people around here were parents who came to look for their children. They all felt the same after hearing his words and moved out of the way for him with understanding.

Chen Nong arrived at the front and finally saw the words on the notice clearly, as well as his daughter's name.

In order for everyone to be sure whether it is their own child, some information about the child's age and characteristics is also written after the name.

Chen Nong's eyes turned red after reading it, and he was sure it was his daughter.

An old man next to him asked: "Is your child here?"

"Yes! Yes!" Chen Nong choked.

The old man said: "What a happy event, then what are you still standing here for? Go to Si Ye Mansion to get people."

"Yes, yes." Chen Nong came to his senses, and then when he wanted to enter Siye Mansion, he found that there was a long queue at the gate, and no one else was allowed to jump in the queue.

The old man who squeezed out from the inner circle with him asked strangely: "Why are you standing here again?"

Chen Nong nodded blankly, "I'll line up."

"What kind of line are you waiting for? The children are already waiting for their parents, and you still want to ask for medicine first?" The old man glared at Chen Nong.

Chen Nong said in panic: "No, I don't know where or who to pick up the child from."

Old man: "...Follow me!"

Chen Nong followed him obediently. Halfway through, he heard the old man muttering: "Who is this person? Why is it that the child of such an irresponsible person is well, but my child is not?"

Chen Nong's ears turned red from dryness.

At the other side door the two of them walked through, two boys with cufflinks and armbands were squatting here, chatting in various boring ways.

"Two envoys, let's pick up the children." The old man smiled politely at the two children.

Chen Nong was shocked. Si Ye Mansion was a government office anyway, so how could such a child be allowed to do things? Before he could figure it out, the old man glared at him. He quickly came back to his senses and came to the two children, who were also awkwardly polite.

Said: "Little envoy."

A little boy looked at him as if he were a kid, and took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve, "Which child? What's his name?"

"Chen Mei'er." Chen Nong said, "Famous cat."

The kid next to him chuckled, "Tabby cat, what a nickname."

The kid holding the note hit his arm and said, "Be serious!"

The kid next to me put on a serious face.

Chen Nong was full of worries: "..."

"Follow me." The kid with the note shouted to him, and then left without waiting for him to follow.

The old man pushed Chen Nong, "Hurry up and catch up, you don't have a child yet."

Chen Nong didn't know how the old man recognized the trustworthiness of the child. He bowed to the old man to thank him, and then caught up with the child who was leading the way.

This was the first time he entered Siye Mansion. He didn't feel that this Siye Mansion was any different from other mansions. He thought that the rumors were indeed false.

Until in a small courtyard, the strange spider children came and went to work.

Chen Nong's head was like thunder and he was dizzy.

The child who was still waiting to see the joke waited for a while but didn't expect to scream. He looked at Chen Nong with disappointment and surprise, "You still have some courage."

Chen Nong heard this but didn't open his mouth to speak. He thought how brave he was, but in fact he was too scared to scream. Now his legs were weak and struggling to support his body.

"Chen Mei'er!" The child shouted towards Spider Boy, "Your family is here to pick you up, come out quickly!"

After a while, a girl with two braids ran out.
