Mrs. Shen looked in the direction of Shen Zhixue with a loving smile, "Thanks to Xue'er for nagging with me, I was able to achieve such results."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Sister Shen is filial, which is my blessing."
After she finished speaking, she began to check Mrs. Shen's pulse and perform acupuncture. After a lot of effort, half an hour had passed.
Since she was going to the town, she didn't delay here too much. She said goodbye to Shen Zhixue and got on the mule cart to be driven to the town by Lu Dagui.
Shen Zhixue looked at the back of the mule cart with envy in her eyes.
He Xiang looked at her young lady and then at the mule cart going away, her words full of envy, "I had no time, so I asked someone to take her here. Mr. Lu is really considerate to Miss Chu."
Shen Zhixue hummed, "It's hard to find another man like this in the world, but she also has the skills to match him."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house.
He Xiang chased after Shen Zhixue, "But Miss, I always feel that with your status, it is enough to treat her as an ordinary friend. A close friendship is really not worthy of your status. If you have such thoughts, we might as well run to the county seat more often." Once you run away, you can walk around with the gentlemen and ladies over there to enhance your relationship, and you can help me in the future."
Shen Zhixue smiled lightly and walked forward, "I'm afraid you are overthinking it. When did you see Miss Chu and I have a heart-to-heart relationship? Although she called her sister in front of her, she was more polite than intimate. In people's hearts I understand, why do you need to say more? Don’t say this again in the future.”
He Xiang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I don't have to worry about it."
"But I really hope to make her a friend. Not to mention her amazing medical skills, I find her quite interesting. She is not like those young ladies who are very hypocritical."
He Xiang frowned slightly, "But Miss, you have to think about the future."
"From now on..." A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Zhixue's eyes, and then she shook her head and said, "After this incident, I feel that being able to live freely and freely is more important than anything else."
After living in this Zhuangzi for a while, she suddenly felt that her mind had broadened. The things that she used to care about were now taken lightly.
…
Lu Dagui drove Chu Yue to Nanping Town in a mule cart.
Nanping Town, which was usually peaceful, now has many people lying on the roads leading to the entrance of the town. Some are hungry and some are sick.
But in any case, this is not a good sign.
Because once corpses litter the fields, a plague may break out, and the lives of ordinary people will become even more difficult.
Lu Dagui's driving speed slowed down.
Seeing this, Chu Yue opened the curtain of the mule cart and said, "Brother Dagui, how about I get off here? You wait for me outside the town, I will be here soon."
But Lu Dagui shook his head without thinking and said, "That's not possible. The town is in such chaos now. If you lose me later, where will I find someone? Xinghe has told me to follow you every step of the way."
Chu Yue was stunned, "When did he say this to you?"
Lu Dagui didn't hide it, "You told me when you were having breakfast in the kitchen, but I didn't let you hear it."
Chu Yue had no choice but to let Lu Dagui drive the mule cart into the town with him. The entrance to the town was now guarded by officers and soldiers. If you wanted to enter, each person had to pay three cents in toll, and five cents for the mule cart. Money for passing money.
Just for her, Lu Dagui and the mule cart, Chu Yue paid eleven cents, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Now is the year of famine. The government does nothing, but they still find ways to exploit the people's hard-earned money. If this continues, sooner or later there will be greater chaos.
After entering Nanping Town, Lu Dagui looked at the officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law Xinghe, let's sell the antlers and go back early. I think this town is not peaceful."
Chu Yue nodded hurriedly, "I think so too. Brother Dagui, please take me directly to Chenji Pharmacy."
"Hey, okay."
Lu Dagui had been fooling around with people in the town from time to time, and he knew the route here very well.
After a while, he drove a mule cart to Chen Kee Drug Store.
"Dagui, I haven't seen you for a long time. Maybe you got rich recently or something, but you even caught up with the mule cart."
Before Chu Yue got off the mule cart, she heard someone greeting Lu Dagui.
Lu Dagui waved his hand and said, "My family can't even afford food, how can I get rich? This is my boss's mule cart, not my family's."
"Hey, there are still people who dare to ask you to work?"
Lu Dagui smiled sheepishly, "I have done a lot of bad things in the past, but my boss is kind-hearted, so he just let me try."
Then he saw Chu Yue getting off the mule cart, and the man asked again, "Is the owner you are talking about this good-looking little girl?"
Seeing this, Lu Dagui hurriedly blocked Chu Yue behind him.
"She is not a little girl, she is the daughter-in-law of my clan brother, we are married."
The man he spoke to chuckled.
"Don't worry. Although I hang around in the town, I never do anything harmful to the world. But for the sake of our friendship, I would like to remind you not to stay in the town for too long. It is said that here When a big shot comes, he will grab a pretty girl to warm his bed. If your little boss is captured, it will be difficult for you to do business when you go back."
After saying that, he glanced in Chu Yue's direction, then turned and left.
After hearing what the man said, Lu Dagui hurriedly looked at Chu Yue.
"Xinghe Wife..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Yue taking down the basket containing the antlers from the mule cart.
"Brother Dagui, wait for me for a while. I'll sell the antlers and then we'll go back."
After she finished speaking, she carried the basket on her back and entered Chenji Pharmacy.
There were no officers and soldiers guarding the door, but Dr. Zhu, who usually consulted here, was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a strange face.
Chu Yue suppressed the doubts on her face, "Shopkeeper Chen?"
Shopkeeper Chen, who was working on the abacus behind the counter, raised his head and saw Chu Yue coming, so he hurriedly greeted her, "Miss Chu, long time no see, but are you here to sell medicinal materials again?"
As he spoke, he also winked at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue saw it clearly, but her face remained calm, "Really, how is Shopkeeper Chen doing lately?"
Shopkeeper Chen said hurriedly, "Everything is fine. Why isn't your husband here today?"
"He was delayed for something, so he asked the eldest brother in the clan to bring me here."
Shopkeeper Chen laughed, "What medicinal materials are you selling today?"
Chu Yue put down her backpack and took out the antlers wrapped in old cloth. "Recently, we haven't been able to collect any common medicinal materials in the mountains, so I brought a pair of newly obtained antlers to Shopkeeper Chen."
Shopkeeper Chen’s eyes lit up.
"Hey, you guys are still hunting deer?"
"It's not like he was hunting. This deer broke into my house and ate it, and he was caught."
The doctor at Chenji Pharmacy has changed, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. He's afraid that the prescription in her hand will be revealed by him, so she has to think of a way to do it.
