Chapter 19

Yang Shi was taken aback, and stared blankly at Ling Muer.

She put down the things in her hand and grabbed Ling Muer's hand, her eyes were shining like a star.

"Mu'er, what you said is true?" After receiving Ling Muer's nod in response, Yang's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Then you must cure your brother. No, no, no, I can't say that. You do your best. Even if you fail, mother will not blame you. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, mother also wants to heal your brother's leg. He is still young and such a good child. But because of this leg How many people stared at me, I feel uncomfortable when I think about it."

"Mother, don't worry. My master said that my brother's leg injury is not serious. It's just that if you want to heal his leg, you have to break the part that grew up again...it may be very painful." Ling Muer Looking at Yang Shi, she said, "Mother, you need to be mentally prepared. If you can't bear the pain, there is no way to cure it."

"What kind of suffering has your brother suffered? I believe he can bear it. As long as God is willing to give him this opportunity, let alone interrupting him once, even ten times can be tolerated." Of course Yang felt sorry for Ling Zixuan. However, for Ling Zixuan's future, they were willing to suffer like this. I believe Ling Zixuan thought the same way.

The reason why Ling Muer told Yang Shi this was to let the Ling family accept her difference. The story of the grandfather in the dream is too old-fashioned, but in this age, there is only such a reason that can be justified. The original owner was a timid little girl. She has no contact with outsiders. So she has no way to find her a 'master'.

"Since mother has no objection, I will go to the city to buy medicine tomorrow." Ling Mu'er said to Yang Shi, "How long will Daddy stay at home this time?"

"Your father has finished his work this time, and he won't leave in a short time." When this matter was mentioned, Yang felt worried.

Of course she would like to be inseparable from Ling Dazhi, but Ling Dazhi has no work to do, and the children will be hungry. Everything they do is for their children.

That night, because of Ling Dazhi's return, everyone in the Ling family beamed with joy. Ling Ziyu, who had been lying on the bed for many days, finally got new clothes, and then got out of bed and walked around. Seeing that his youngest son was doing well, Ling Dazhi relaxed his frown.

The next morning, Ling Muer went to the city in the village ox cart.

There is only one cow in the village. In ancient times, cattle were protected and could not be slaughtered privately. So even if the family was so hungry that they were about to eat dirt, they never thought of killing the cow. Now that the crisis is over, that family can do the business of attracting people again. It's just that the cow has been eating the bark during this time, and now he is so hungry that he is only skin and bones, and he walks more slowly than before.

Ling Mu'er looked at the ancient city, everything was quaint, with an ancient charm in its simplicity.

Pedestrians on the street wore patched clothes. Among them, there are also ancient people with rich economic conditions, and the clothes they wear are much more beautiful. The clothes of the poor are not only gray, but coarse linen. Those with a little money can buy clothes of various colors. Of course, the cloth is divided into several grades.

Ling Mu'er took the one hundred Wen given by Yang Shi to the pharmacy to buy medicine first, and put the medicine into the space. With fifty cash left, I spent twenty cash to buy some medicinal seeds. The last thirty cash bought ten catties of cornmeal and three catties of inferior white rice.

A hundred words are used up.

When Ling Muer looked at those special seasonings, her eyes were full of longing. However, with no money left, she can only watch.

She turned around and saw a figure walking past the store door. She ran out quickly and grabbed the tall man.

The man was walking on the street when he was suddenly grabbed by a small hand, and he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He looked sharply at the person behind him, and froze when he saw her clearly.

"You..." The man, Shangguan Shaochen looked at Ling Muer and said, "Is there something wrong?"

While speaking, he had already let go of Ling Muer's hand. Ling Muer's little hands were rough and warm, which gave him a special feeling in his heart.

Ling Muer ran out just now when she saw Shangguan Shaochen. She raised a faint smile and said, "Brother Shangguan, can I borrow ten Wen from you?"

There are ten kinds of seasonings in the grocery store, each of which costs one penny, making a total of ten pennies. The most important thing is that is the seed. Among them are cumin, chili, pepper, star anise and so on.

Shangguan Shaochen took out ten coins from his pocket and handed it to Ling Muer.

Ling Muer took the money and ran into the grocery store.

Shangguan Shaochen looked at her back with a smile in his eyes.

He touched the half of his face covered by his hair. There were big scars there, like burns from a flame. It is this scar that no one dares to approach him now.

When Ling Muer came back from shopping inside, Shangguan Shaochen hadn't left yet. After getting what she wanted, Ling Muer felt better in her heart, and she was even more pleasing to Shangguan Shaochen, the person who helped her. She said to Shangguan Shaochen: "Thank you, Brother Shangguan. I will try my best to return the ten coins to you."

"Don't worry." Shangguan Shaochen said lightly, "Do you still need it?"

Ling Mu'er didn't understand what he meant at first, but after she realized it, she realized that he was asking her if she still needed money.

In fact, there are many things that need to be bought. If she borrowed money to buy it, Mrs. Yang would definitely intervene. She has to find a way to make money!

"No need." Ling Muer said to Shangguan Shaochen, "Brother Shangguan, thank you."

"En. Then I'm leaving." Shangguan Shaochen finished speaking lightly, then turned and left there.

Ling Muer watched Shangguan Shaochen walk into a restaurant. That restaurant is quite upscale. He hadn't brought game, obviously not for business. Did he go inside to eat?

It seems that this Orion brother is very rich!

Ling Mu'er muttered something, and went to the place that the villagers had made an appointment with her back on her back. The villagers almost always go to the market in the morning and go back at noon. Everyone is a frugal person and doesn't want to stay in the city to eat. If some villagers are not in a hurry to go back, they can only walk back. If you are lucky, if you meet a passing bullock cart, you can let the other party take it for a while.

When Ling Mu'er returned home, Yang Shi and Ling Dazhi heard voices coming out to greet her. Seeing their burning eyes, she knew what they were thinking. She put down the basket, took out the medicine packs from it, and said, "One pack is for internal use, and the other pack is for external application. I'll treat my brother's legs later."

"Our Mu'er is a very lucky person." Ling Dazhi looked at Ling Muer and expressed his feelings. "Back when a traveling alchemist saw Mu'er, didn't he say that she was rich and powerful? He just said that she would experience many twists and turns when she was young, and when the dark clouds cleared, there would be a rainbow, and she would become rich and powerful .”

"I thought I met a liar before, but now it seems that I met an expert. If I had known this, I should have thanked that expert at the beginning." Yang looked regretful.

Listening to what the couple said, Ling Muer also felt that the alchemist was a master. He should have seen that the original owner had a catastrophe in his fate, and after the catastrophe, she would be her.

She went back to her room to prepare the ointment for the minor surgery that will be done later. Ling Zixuan's legs had already grown together, she wanted to break them again and then heal them with ointment.

Ling Zixuan went to the mountain to cut firewood. He happened to be carrying firewood back to the yard, and was grabbed by Mrs. Yang. Yang led him inside. Ling Zixuan didn't know what happened. Seeing Yang's face was serious, he asked, "Mother, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Don't ask." Yang said, "You'll know when you go in."

Ling Dazhi was sitting at the door smoking a cigarette when he saw Ling Zixuan raised his head. Ling Dazhi smoked local cigarettes, which were rewarded by his boss. He couldn't afford the cigarettes here himself.

Seeing Ling Dazhi's heavy expression, Ling Zixuan felt even more uneasy. He wondered if something happened at home that made his parents so upset. He followed Yang into the gate, saw Ling Mu'er fiddle with those ointments, and had some guesses in his heart.

Last time Ling Muer told Ling Zixuan that she was studying medicine. He didn't take this matter to heart. After all, doctors who study medicine have to study for decades before they can practice medicine and save lives. Which of those old doctors is not an old man with white hair? He thought that even if Ling Muer was studying medicine, it would take at least forty or fifty years. Looking at it now, does Ling Muer plan to heal his leg? Just... Really? The doctors outside couldn't do anything about his leg injury. Can his delicate little sister heal his injury?

Ling Zixuan had doubts in his heart, but he didn't reject what Ling Muer was going to do. In his opinion, even if the younger sister couldn't heal his leg, he wouldn't blame her. If she really wants to do her best, then let her do it! No matter how painful it is, he can bear it.

"Brother, it hurts." Ling Muer looked at Ling Zixuan. "Can you bear it?"

"Brother can." Ling Zixuan smiled. His smile is very sunny and has a soothing effect.

"Xuanzi, if it hurts, bite the quilt, don't bite your tongue." Yang said nervously. "Mother is with you, don't be afraid."

"Mother, you should wait outside!" Ling Muer knew that the next scene would be cruel. As a mother, Yang certainly didn't want to see such a cruel scene.

Yang looked worriedly at Ling Zixuan, then at Ling Muer. She still wanted to stay with Ling Zixuan. Ever since Ling Zixuan broke her leg, she has been blaming herself. I have been suffering from various tortures these days, and I pray to God every day for a miracle to happen. Now a miracle is finally about to happen, she wants to see Ling Zixuan recover with her own eyes.

"Mother..." Ling Zixuan took Yang's hand. "Go out and wait! My son will be fine."

"Xuanzi, mother will stay with you without doing anything. Just pretend that mother is gone." Yang Shi was reluctant to let go.

"Forget it. Then don't cry later." Ling Muer reluctantly compromised.

Ling Zixuan was lying on the bed. Ling Muer touched his injured place. She massaged him first, and after confirming the position, she gritted her teeth and pressed hard. Click!

"Ah..." Ling Zixuan just yelled, Ling Muer quickly stuffed the cloth into his mouth. This time is the most dangerous, because I am afraid that he will bite his tongue.

The wounded place cracked again. The feeling of being overwhelmed by pain is definitely not something ordinary people can understand. The boy who has always been sunny has a painful expression on his face. Especially the moment Ling Muer struck, his eyes were loose and his expression was ferocious.

Yang Shi next to him held Ling Zixuan's hand tightly. Ling Zixuan's nails were not long, but there were long scars on her hands.

Ling Mu'er made sure he didn't make a mistake, and then gave him the medicine. When the ointment was applied, the icy cold feeling relieved Ling Zixuan's pain a bit.

"Xuanzi..." Yang touched Ling Zixuan's palm and looked at him worriedly. "Are you okay, Xuanzi?"

Ling Zixuan shook his head lightly, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Zixuan passed out from the pain.

"Mu'er..." Yang yelled nervously.

"Mother, it's okay." Ling Mu'er glanced at Ling Zixuan and comforted him, "It was painful at that moment, and it will gradually get better now. Mother, for the sake of my brother's future, this pain must be endured. About a month After that he will be able to get out of bed and walk around. Take good care of him for a month and don't make him exert himself.”

"Okay." Seeing Ling Zixuan like this, Yang felt uncomfortable, but after hearing Ling Muer's assurance, she felt a little better.

My daughter is right, for his future, these pains must be experienced now.

"Mother, go and make the medicine! Brother will drink the medicine when he wakes up. After drinking the medicine, he will relieve some pain." Ling Muer said.

"Okay." Yang took the medicine that Ling Mu'er handed over, and strode out.

Ling Muer helped Ling Zixuan cover the quilt. When she went out, she saw Ling Dazhi sitting at the door hugging Ling Ziyu who was trembling with fright.

"August." Ling Muer beckoned to Ling Ziyu.

Ling Ziyu hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

Ling Mu'er squatted down, gently touched his head and said, "Sister is treating brother. Don't be afraid in August."

Ling Ziyu nodded.

"Tonight my sister will steam the meat buns for August." Ling Muer smiled and said, "But I can't do it alone. Can August help me?"

When Ling Ziyu heard this, his eyes sparkled.

Ling Dazhi watched Ling Muer and Ling Ziyu walk to the kitchen, his old eyes were full of emotion.

A gentle wife and a sensible child are the happiest things in life. Even if he is fired by his employer now, and he has to spend time looking for a job again, the family may suffer from hunger for a long time, so what? As long as their whole family lives happily together, nothing is difficult.

Ling Dazhi didn't tell Yang Shi. The owner disliked him because he was too old, and there were no young people who could work, so he was no longer wanted.

After these few days, he still has to go to the city to find work. Otherwise, what should the family do? The eldest son will not be able to work for a month, and his wife has to do all the heavy work at home, which has made him extremely guilty. If even he, the only man who can make money, has no work to do, the life of their family will be even more miserable.

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Ling Dazhi wiped away his old tears, and staggered towards the fence gate.

"This is what Miss Ling put in my place, and I brought it to you." A cold voice came from outside the door.

Ling Muer heard voices in the kitchen, and saw Shangguan Shaochen leave after saying a few words to Ling Dazhi, and she only saw his back after chasing him out.

Go so fast!
