This child has a tough head and a very smart and cute appearance. I couldn't help but touch his little head: "Then do you want my brother to take you home?"
"No, mom and dad don't like strangers."
The child stood up and limped forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, waved at us, and said in a soft and soft voice with some unclear words: "Goodbye, brothers. You can come and play with me next time, my name is Shengzi."
"Okay, see you next time."
Watching Shengzi's back disappear before our eyes, I took Haizi's hand and slowly walked down the mountain.
It was completely dark, and the roadside was full of busy villagers.
When they see me, they will extend their hands to greet me warmly.
After placing the herbs into categories, I also taught Haizi how to distinguish the difference between weeds and herbs.
We were busy all day long, and by the time we reacted, it was already dark outside.
After eating, I chopped the dried herbs into fine pieces and made them into pills or some sachets and medicinal fumigations. I packed them into portions and then stopped working for the day.
When I woke up early the next morning, I took my children and delivered these medicine kits door to door. Because of the labor and cost issues involved, I charged a symbolic two yuan to each household.
Prices in small counties are cheap, and in big cities it’s just a bus trip, but here we can’t do anything. It’s also because of these two things that most villagers are not willing to ask for my medicine kit.
"Xiao Rui, you said everything is fine, why do you give us this? You don't have to do anything because you are sick, and you still need two yuan."
Some villagers looked at my medicine bag in embarrassment and said with some disgust.
I smiled and tried hard to sell my stuff: "Auntie, this is a good thing. This is Jisu Jiuxin Pill. If you are about to die, if you take this, it can help you delay for a while. There is also mugwort. These are all It’s to get rid of disease.”
The aunt waved her hand: "It's really not necessary, you'd better leave it to someone else."
"Don't give it to me!"
Just when I felt a little embarrassed, a familiar voice sounded from beside me.
I turned around and saw Aunt Wang walking up to me, taking my medicine bag, putting it under my nose and smelling it: "Yeah! This smells pretty good."
"Because some medicines have a bit of a strong taste, I added a little flower as an auxiliary ingredient, which can effectively eliminate some of the smell."
"Give me ten packs."
Aunt Wang was also very generous. She took out a twenty-yuan bill and handed it to me, and took ten packages from my basket.
The aunt standing in front of me looked a little embarrassed. After looking at us, she walked away without turning her head.
Seeing that there was no one around, Aunt Wang looked at me curiously and asked: "Xiao Rui, Aunt Wang has watched you grow up. I know that your child will not give away these herbs for no reason. Tell Auntie Tell me, is something going to change?"
I was a bit dumbfounded: "I'm not sure either, but the appearance of Mr. Ichigo usually represents some epidemic disease, and we must take precautions before it happens."
Aunt Wang nodded in understanding: "Okay, I'll buy ten more packs!"
After distributing all the herbs in hand, it was already dark.
I made a total of 100 bags, and of the 150 households in the village, only 60 were willing to buy my stuff for two yuan.
No matter how much I tried to persuade them, it was of no use. As soon as they mentioned that there was an epidemic, they just said that they were old and had never dealt with any problems.
I walked on the road carrying the remaining medicinal materials.
It was quiet all around, and the late autumn night was more desolate. I couldn't help but shrink my neck, and regretted not taking Bai Tian or Haizi out with me. At least I had a companion by my side, and it could strengthen my courage.
My eyes stung suddenly, and a familiar pain spread throughout my body.
"Da da da."
At the same time, I also heard regular footsteps coming towards me.
I hurriedly hid in the grass nearby, trying to make my breathing lighter so that nothing would notice me.
The pace became clearer and clearer. Gradually, I saw five people walking towards me. These five people were wearing very shabby clothes. Each of them reached out to hold the shoulder of the person in front of them and walked forward step by step.
The person at the beginning has one eye open and one closed, with an expressionless face.
When he walked in front of me, the person at the beginning suddenly paused slightly, his nose was twitching, as if he was smelling something, and he looked around carefully with one eye.
I didn't even dare to breathe out, I could only stare at them with wide eyes, my heart beating fast.
Don't ever see me!
The one-eyed dragon looked for a long time and seemed to find nothing, so he continued to walk forward with the four blind men behind him.
The bright moon hung in the middle of the sky, projecting the reflections of everything in the incident, and of the five people walking past, I could clearly see that they had no shadow at all!
Could this be the legendary Mr. Ichimego?
After confirming that they had left, I dared to walk out of the lawn and hurried home.
Before I even got home, I saw Bai Tian standing at the door waiting for me.
Seeing me coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come back at this hour?"
"Don't mention it. I've been all over the village and haven't sold any medicine." After walking for a day, I was a little frightened just now. Now that I've returned home, I feel that all the muscles in my body are sore and I'm almost tired. Paralyzed.
Seeing me like this, he didn't ask any questions during the day. He helped me into the house and poured me a cup of tea in an understanding way.
After drinking the tea, I had a slight sense of reality.
Not long after returning home, I heard a sudden muffled thunder outside, and then, suddenly, heavy rain poured down.
I was shocked by the rain: "Is it raining? When I went home just now, I didn't see any dark clouds."
During the day, he seemed not to be surprised: "If there is an abnormality, there must be a monster. It seems that the next days will be a bit sad."
I nodded in agreement.
Perhaps our crow's beak really worked. When I opened the door the next morning, I saw that all the people outside were filled with people, and all of them looked pale and depressed.
I put on a mask and started taking their pulses.
At first, I thought it was the simplest flu. After all, it is the rainy season, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. If you are not careful, you may fall ill.
But gradually, I realized something was wrong. The pulses of these people seemed more like bacterial fever!
"Doctor, how is my health?"
I gave a standard smile: "Please wait a moment."
