"From Ma Er's family, don't be so shameless. What are you looking at in that person's backpack!" The aunt who had just spoken to Li Xi angrily patted down Aunt Ma's outstretched hand.
Her slap was not light. Qian Dajuan had long disliked her. This shameless person often picked up a green onion from the boss's house and a piece of garlic from the west's house. She often did it.
When the old fat pig goes to the slaughter, she is the one who gets the knife!
"Qian Dajuan, what do you mean?" Aunt Ma covered her arms and looked at Qian Dajuan, "I'm asking the National People's Congress, what does it have to do with you."
"What does it have to do with me? I just can't stand you bullying other people's children!" Qian Dajuan rolled her eyes with disgust, then pulled Li Xi over, "Come on, Daya, stay away from her as an aunt, to avoid contamination. unlucky!"
Li Xi moved to Qian Dajuan's side obediently, and then thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."
Aunt Ma was very angry at Qian Dajuan's squeeze and Li Xi's appearance of being bullied. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Qian Dajuan, tell me clearly! What do you mean I am unlucky?"
Am I unlucky? How can I be unlucky like her, a thing that can defeat my father?
Li Daya, I don’t think you are unlucky. I would like to say a few words to you with good intentions, but you are aggrieved! "
Qian Dajuan glanced at Daya beside her, who was bowing her head silently, frowning and glaring at Aunt Ma, "You are an elder, what are you talking about? Your mouth can only spit shit, right?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Her own grandmother said that, what nonsense am I talking about?" Aunt Ma looked at Song Hehua openly, "You tell me, you don't know what Granny Li said about her!"
Song Hehua is obviously much younger than Aunt Ma and Qian Dajuan. She is a newly married daughter-in-law in the village. She is married to Li Tianbao, the eldest grandson of Mr. Erqiang who works as a waiter in a restaurant in the city. Her family is from the city. In addition to sending some changes of clothes to her man when I went to the city this time, I also wanted to go home and have a look.
She had often seen scenes like elders fighting, but this was the first time she was called to testify. She hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, just say a few words, don't hurt the peace."
Aunt Ma, you are an elder, and Da Ya is still a child, so please say less. "
Aunt Ma Er was just about to say that I was not talking nonsense. Er Qiang, who was beside him, coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "From Ma Er's family, if you don't want to go to the city, just go back."
Aunt Ma looked at Mr. Erqiang's dark face and held back what she said. She didn't want to walk to the city. Her legs couldn't bear the round trip.
Seeing that she was quiet, Mr. Erqiang glanced at the village. Seeing that no one was coming, he shouted, "Sit down and let's go."
Li Xi expected that this journey might be difficult, but she never thought it would be so difficult.
The bumpy road was really bumpy. Li Xi gritted his teeth and endured it for more than half an hour before he saw the wall of Jiangning City.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but it was finally here. She would have to go down and walk if she didn't see her again. She really couldn't bear it anymore. Thinking of this, Li Xi glanced at the other people on the donkey cart and looked at them. Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief and was satisfied. It turned out that she was not the only one who couldn't do it.
Mr. Erqiang stopped the carriage in the shade outside the city gate, "We've arrived at the place. You can go in. I'll wait for you here. Just come to me here after changing your things."
It was obviously not the first time for Aunt Ma, Qian Dajuan and Song Lianhua to ride in a donkey cart. Before Erqiang Master could finish speaking, they acknowledged it, and Li Xi also hummed and followed them towards the city gate. .
There were four soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city. They didn't do anything strange when they saw them coming, and they still stood there upright.
After entering the city, Song Lianhua separated from them. Aunt Ma snorted coldly at Qian Dajuan and Li Xi, and left with the basket on her back.
Qian Dajuan looked at Daya beside her and said, "Daya, if you don't know where to go to change things, just come with Auntie, and Auntie will take you there."
Qian Dajuan estimated that she only brought some food. There were no fresh vegetables this season. Most of them were bacon and bacon that had been saved at home.
Li Xi's family did have a lot of these things before. After all, they had a father who knew how to hunt. However, old lady Li was not a good person. When Li Tiezhu was buried, she took Li Yinzhu and moved all the bacon and other things from the Li family. null.
"Thank you, auntie, but no, my father has a brother in the city, and my mother asked me to go to their house and have a look." Li Xi made up an excuse casually.
"Okay, let's separate then. You go quickly." Qian Dajuan didn't think she was lying. Everyone in the village knew that Tie Zhu was a wanderer. He had been a soldier before and he just knew someone in the city. It's strange.
After Li Xi and Qian Dajuan separated, they found a hawker and asked for the address of the drug store, then left with their backpacks on their backs.
Yong'an Hall.
Li Xi looked up at the plaque hanging on the medicine shop, and then walked in.
There were no customers in the medicine shop. There was only a little medicine boy cleaning the medicine cabinet behind the counter. When he saw Li Xi picking it up, he put down the rag and asked, "Get medicine or write a prescription?"
Li Xi's eyes quickly swept around the room, and she said with a smile, "Excuse me, little brother, I wonder if you accept medicinal materials here?"
"Who is your little brother?" The little medicine boy glanced at Li Xi, snorted coldly, threw down the rag, "Wait."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the inner hall.
After a while, an old man with a goatee walked out of the inner room behind the little medicine boy.
"Master, she wants to sell medicinal materials." The little medicine boy glanced at Li Xi and said.
"Little girl, I am Wu Daoqing, the doctor of Yongantang. You can just call me Doctor Wu. Where are your medicinal materials? Take them out and let me see them."
There are many mountains near Jiangning City, and there are many herbal medicines on the mountains, so many people come to the medicine shop to get medicines on weekdays. However, this is the first time for Dr. Wu to see a young girl like Li Xi.
"Hello, Doctor Wu, my name is Li Xi, and these are the medicinal materials I brought." Li Xi said, taking off the basket and putting it on the counter, opening the homespun cloth and taking out the Gastrodia elata piece by piece.
"It turns out it's Gastrodia elata. You can't buy it at a high price." The little medicine boy curled his lips and said, this thing is really not uncommon here. Nine out of ten people who come to their place to produce medicinal materials produce Gastrodia elata.
"Ah Wei." Doctor Wu glanced at him disapprovingly, "Don't be rude."
Li Xi would not argue with a child. After taking out the gastrodia elata, she took out the ginseng wrapped in homespun cloth and looked at Doctor Wu, "Do you want to take the ginseng?"
"receive."
There are indeed a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains here. Although ginseng is a precious medicinal material, he has actually collected it a few times, but it is relatively young. Therefore, Doctor Wu was not too surprised when he heard that Li Xi had ginseng in his hands. He just thought that As usual, it's a ginseng that's about ten years old.
The roll of homespun cloth in Li Xi's hand was not small. At first, Doctor Wu thought she had wrapped it in a few extra layers to avoid bumping into the ginseng. But when he saw the ginseng inside, which was bigger than a radish, his eyes widened.
