The rabbits Jiang Nian brought back were two pairs of males and two females, and they were divided into cages just like this.
Soon a female rabbit gave birth to eight little rabbits. Unfortunately, two of them did not survive.
Jiang Yue looked at the four adult rabbits, six baby rabbits and two pheasants, and then at the leaky door.
Thinking of the greedy expressions of the two aunts who came to the house before, she had reason to suspect that other people in the village were also thinking about these few.
She had no choice but to go to the village chief's house for help.
"Auntie, I want to take Brother Nian to the city to see a doctor. Maybe his throat can be cured. But I can't take these rabbits, pheasants, etc., and there is no gate at home..."
The village chief's wife was very cheerful and neat. When she heard that she was going to see a doctor, she felt sorry for such a good-looking/ferocious person who couldn't speak, so she agreed, "I think those cages of yours are quite good, so I just brought them over." , let it go to my house and raise it for you for a few days without any problem."
"Okay, thank you, aunt!"
Jiang Yue made an agreement with Jiang Shan to go to town with the car the next day. Jiang Shan had a very good impression of the strong man Jiang Nian, "No problem! I will pick you up directly at your door tomorrow morning, so you don't have to walk down hard."
The next day, Jiang Shan really went around to the foot of the mountain early in the morning, picked them up with the rabbit and pheasant, dropped them off at his home, and then went to the entrance of the village to wait for others who were going to the town.
In fact, not many people are willing to spend money to go to the town. Those who do small business or work hard in the town are more willing to walk at night to save two pennies back and forth.
Jiang Shan waited for half an hour, and four people came. Including Jiang Yue and his wife, the six people just filled the cart.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Nian had "keep away from strangers" expressions on their faces.
People in the village liked to spread gossip, and Jiang Nian became a very cold and fierce person in the eyes of everyone. In addition, there were rumors circulating in the village that there was a monster in Jiang Yue's family some time ago. Although it was clarified, she was still a little scared in her heart.
Ignorant and superstitious people are actually best fooled.
Therefore, the "guests" on the mule cart this morning were not as lively as usual, but quiet, and no one dared to say a word.
Jiang Yue expressed that she was very satisfied with this. Chatting with strangers was challenging her bottom line of patience.
When they arrived in the town, Jiang Yue paid two cents and took Jiang Nian to the medical clinic.
"Little lady, are there new medicinal ingredients today?"
The little boy greeted me warmly, and he was already familiar with it. The medicinal materials sent by this young lady are all valuable medicinal materials, and the shopkeeper pays special attention to treating them well.
But she saw Jiang Yue shaking her head, "My husband is a little injured, and I would like to ask Dr. Zhu for help."
It happened that Dr. Zhu had no patients at this time, so they entered the inner room, took off their shirts, and were shocked when they saw the two six-inch long wounds, "How did they get hurt?"
Most of the wound has healed, no longer bleeding and inflamed, but the scar has not gone away, and I can still think of the original danger.
"I went hunting in the mountains and was scratched by the prey."
Looking at the direction of the scar, Dr. Zhu also guessed that it was scratched by sharp animal claws, but he was very curious about the wound medicine. Such an injury looked so serious, but the injury healed so quickly, so it must be the best medicine. vulnerary.
Jiang Yue shook her head in confusion, and applied some herbal medicine in the mountain, not knowing what it was.
Dr. Zhu was helpless, but he had no choice. The other party was just a herbalist on the road, and it was normal not to remember the herbal medicine.
"I'll prescribe you two pairs of medicines. If you take them for three days, you'll probably be fine." He looked at Jiang Yue, "Would you like some plaster to remove scars?"
Jiang Yue lowered her head. Jiang Nian's body was not covered with scars, but there were several obvious scars. She gently touched one of them with her fingers and shook her head, "No."
It's not because of lack of money, but in her opinion, scars are not a flaw. The scars on Jiang Nian's body have a wild beauty.
After taking the medicine, the two of them went to the carriage shop.
Rentals and sales are done here. Renting a mule cart from the town to the county costs 200 yuan for a round trip.
Jiang Yue did the math and realized that they must have gone back and forth more than once. Moreover, without a car, it would be inconvenient to walk on legs alone.
People who are accustomed to cars in modern times are really not used to it.
“How much does this mule cost?”
Jiang Yue took a fancy to a tall, middle-aged mule with smooth fur and four strong legs that looked very powerful.
Seeing the shabby clothes of the couple, the clerk thought that they might not even be able to afford a rental car. Unexpectedly, the first thing he said was that he wanted to buy a car.
He quickly put on a smile and said, "Madam, sir, this mule is 3 years old and in its prime. It costs 8 taels of silver."
Jiang Yue paused and saw Jiang Nian's doctor. She only had seven and a half taels of money left in her hand. She bought a mule and needed a cart.
She said bluntly, "I can only buy 6 taels of mules at most, plus a carriage."
The man thought for a while, but no, this mule was young, and the minimum price was seven and a half taels. He pointed to the other two ends in the corner.
"The lifespan of a mule can be more than 30 years. If it is used for driving, it can also be used for about 25 years. The larger reddish-brown one is now 12 years old, with a minimum price of 6 and a half taels; the other smaller one is 1 year old. It may be a little worse for driving, but it will be very good after keeping it for half a year, with a minimum of 6 taels of silver.”
It is said that buying the 1-year-old mule is the most cost-effective, but they can't wait half a year, they will use it after buying it.
"Seven taels of silver, and the 12-year-old will get a new carriage. If possible, I'll pay for it right away."
The waiter smiled and was happy that the customer was happy, "Okay! It will be ready for you in a quarter of an hour!"
The carriages are all ready-made, one-stop service, and they will be installed directly. He also gave half a bag of wheat bran to feed the mules.
When the car was delivered, the clerk had a smile on his face and said a lot of things like the mule cart being easy to use, the carriage being the latest model, and the original price being 700 Wen. Jiang Yue smiled politely and left after hearing this. It's all sales talk.
This mule must have been trained for many years and is very docile. Even Jiang Yue, who has never driven a car, can walk very steadily.
However, it seems to be a little afraid of Jiang Nian. When Jiang Nian approached, he blew out air from his nostrils and half-raised his front hooves, feeling a little uneasy.
Jiang Nian reached out and touched its neck, and the mule put down its hooves and became completely quiet.
Jiang Yue could probably understand what Jiang Nian meant: If you don't obey, I'll bite your neck off.
