The Heshan County Guanyi incident was handled properly. The injured were given medical treatment money and the deceased were given pension money. The sadness on the streets was slightly reduced, and the talk of Shishi Street gradually disappeared. The tabloids brushed the matter off in a flash. It is said that bandits are rampant.
There was no Zhang Gongfeng, the Mo brothers and sisters, no edicts, and no conspiracies. Those who died were due to bad luck and no solution.
All was calm.
Wu Jin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was worrying too much.
On October 20th, he went to Li Yitie's medicine shop to change the dressing. Li Yitie was boiling Wanying ointment when he saw Wu Jin coming and wiped the frostbite on his ear.
Li Yitong complained while applying it: "You are honest, the plaster is effective only after you apply it. Miss Mo is naughty. No matter how much plaster you apply, it will be useless. She can't sit still for a moment. If it doesn't take an hour, the plaster will be everywhere on her body."
He opened the elm bark on Wu Jin's hand and snorted coldly: "With a little bit of blood and wind sores, Jiedushi still questioned my medical skills! Who does he think saved him? He is really mentally ill."
After listening to his lengthy complaints, Wu Jin felt relieved knowing that Mo Lingfeng was fine, but the rash was not good at all.
After Li Yitie finished speaking, he said: "Miss Mo is lively and active by nature. She didn't do it intentionally. Doctor Li forgives her, but Miss Mo also has a good temper. If you remind her, she will definitely listen."
Li Yitie snorted coldly and pinched Wu Jin's frostbite hard.
Wu Jin shivered in pain and looked at Li Yitie with a slight smile. He didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't let go of his mouth. Facing Li Yitie's disgusted gaze, he felt a little embarrassed and his cheeks turned red quietly.
However, he lowered his head and still smiled. While smiling, he thought: "Everything is fine with her."
Li Yitie saw his stupid look, which was simply ridiculous, so he laughed at him unceremoniously.
After hanging his arm again, he said goodbye to Li Yitie, walked out of the drug store, and got into the busy crowd on the street. He saw a hawker walking past him carrying two large baskets filled with walnuts, and his heart moved. He quickly called the salesman and bought most of the walnuts.
Holding the walnuts in his left hand, he became energetic and walked as fast as flying. After walking home, he spread a cloth on the porch, poured the walnuts on the cloth, picked up a big stone and scrubbed it clean, then put a small bowl aside and started to smash the walnuts. .
After smashing each one, he blew the walnut kernels clean and carefully picked them into the bowl. After smashing them all, he ran out to buy rock sugar, mashed them with the walnut kernels into mud, and divided them into two small porcelain jars. stand up.
Seal one of the porcelain jars with a layer of oil paper, tie it tightly with a rope, and put it back in your room.
Mo Lingfeng has a sweet tooth. This rock sugar walnut water is delicious and nourishing. She will definitely like it.
When Mo Lingfeng's rash healed, he sent him there.
He put the other jar in the kitchen, and when Wu Yi came back, he would make him a bowl first. His younger brother was also young, so when he was hungry, he had to eat something to satisfy his craving.
He usually either studies or sells cakes for his family, and rarely does these expensive and trivial things. Today he spent a lot of money and worked with one hand for most of the day, and he was actually very happy.
Taking the broom, he cleaned up the messed corridor. At the same time, he felt that his left hand was much sharper than at the beginning. Maybe it wouldn't be long before he could write beautiful words with this left hand.
After sweeping the corridor, he put away the broom, scooped out a ladle of hot water from the pot, poured himself a bowl, and sat in front of the stove to drink it slowly.
There was a fire in the stove, the fire was warm, and the room was very quiet. He sweated a little, and the hot water warmed his internal organs, and he listened attentively to the sounds coming from Shishi Street.
A few children were riding bamboo horses on the narrow street and kept "driving". Huang Yapo stood at the door of the foot shop and loudly wanted to be a matchmaker for widower Li. She said that the woman was good in everything, but she was a little older and she would be better at it. He loves others and persuades widower Li to buy a house with his pension money.
The drinkers laughed at Huang Yapo's big mouth. I'm afraid it would be enough to be the mother of widower Li.
The others laughed too.
The widower said nothing and just cooked wine.
Two more old aunts were drying vegetables and chatting while they were drying. At the same time, a wild dog passed by the door and barked.
In this plain, calm, yet lively voice, Wu Jin recalled all the shocks in the hotel. It felt like a lifetime ago. He drank a sip of hot water with mixed emotions. He thought: "It's good to be alive."
In the evening, Wu Yi came back from helping at the cake shop and was eager to go out to play, so Wu Jin tied him up at home with a bowl of rock candy walnuts.
After drinking this big bowl, Wu Yi smashed his mouth and went to sleep before finishing his diary. Wu Jin also fell asleep after writing the diary. Wu's mother and Wu's father discussed in low voices about buying charcoal, and heard "bang bang" on the street. , it was the drunkards knocking on doors from door to door.
Wu Yi was sleeping lightly, so she immediately turned over and raised her head, saying to Wu's mother, "Mom, it's Uncle Huang who drank too much again."
Wu Mu slapped him back: "It's your bed."
Sure enough, Huang Yapo's yelling and cursing sounds followed, and everything dirty and smelly was rolled out. Wu Yi raised his head again: "Mom, let's buy a house."
Mother Wu pushed him back again with a bang.
After the shouting and cursing subsided, the street gradually became quiet. Wu's mother took a look at her little son, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyelashes trembling. She tucked him in and whispered to Wu's father: "How can we buy anything with the money in our hands?" If you find a nice house, you can rent it somewhere else, but it’s a little more expensive and it’s far away from our bakery.”
Father Wu nodded: "It doesn't matter."
"Then let's rent it again. I still have to get you a scooter. I'll stop by and ask the carpenter tomorrow."
"What are you spending the money on? I've lived to this age, that's enough."
"That's not ridiculous. After the New Year, the eldest will be seventeen and will eventually get married. If we don't talk about it now, we should talk about it when we take the exam again."
"The boss knows what's going on."
While they were chatting at home, Wu Jin had already fallen into a deep sleep without even having a dream. He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but he suddenly heard a distant roar in his sleep, which kept coming.
The sound was very far away, and when it reached his ears, there was actually only a little residual sound left. However, this sound was unprecedented, and it carried some kind of frightening power, and even the sky seemed to shake.
Wu Jin sat up in confusion, got out of bed and put on his shoes. When he bent down and lifted up the heels, there was another earthquake-like explosion.
At the same time, there was a rustle outside, and everyone in Shishi Street woke up one after another, making the sound of wandering rats in the dark night.
Wu Jin quickly dressed and opened the door. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw a huge fire flashing in the very far horizon, followed by a thunderous sound.
Wu's mother also came out: "Boss, what happened?"
"You go back to the house first." Wu Jin realized that the fire and the sound were coming from the direction of the Shuo River, and immediately stepped forward to push Wu's mother back into the house. At the same time, her heartbeat was beating like a drum, "I'll go out and take a look, but don't come out!" "
It was rare for him to be so solemn. Seeing his expression, Wu's mother knew that something was wrong and wanted to go out with him. However, she saw that Wu Jin had already strode open the door and walked to the street. She locked the door from the outside.
