"Look at the road! Look at the road Miao Xiaohui glanced at him, pointed to the front and screamed. Ah GUI suddenly came back to his senses and looked ahead. A car was on the cross road. Seeing that it was about to hit him, he turned the steering wheel flexibly, stepped on the accelerator and smoothly bypassed the car on the cross road.
"Du..." ah GUI almost didn't stop and read out Du Xiong's name with Miao Xiaohui. He was stunned. He quickly changed his words: "why do you want to chase you? Why did the Jiang family pursue you? "
"I've beaten Jiang Shiyu. She should have added something to Du Xiong's speech. Anyway, I'd better avoid it and wait for Tang Shaofeng to come back."
She is not so stupid. Tang Shaofeng, in order to be with her, has been imprisoned for so long, and has been flogged so heavily. She can't easily get involved in danger, and there is Zizi. Even for Zizi, she has to live well.
She is not only in charge of her own life, but also the responsibility on her shoulders.
"OK, find a place to change first."
A GUI finds a monitoring dead corner, stops the car and gets off the car. He takes out his mobile phone, opens the map and staggers the monitoring walk.
Once downtown, Miao Xiaohui lived, went shopping, and then found some delicious food. In the afternoon, she and a GUI found a Chinese herbal medicine shop in a remote street.
The store looks rather depressed. When you walk in, the light is dim, and the floor is still that kind of ancient stone floor. On the three walls of the store, there is a genuine wooden Chinese medicine cabinet. The keeper of the store is a skinny old man. He is sitting behind the wooden counter, his face is thin, and his eyes are deep. At first glance, it makes people afraid.
Seeing the two of them come in, the old man's deep eyes twinkled with joy.
"Do you want to buy the herbs I dug?"
"Yes."
Looking at the surrounding situation, Miao Xiaohui really doubts whether she can find all the things she wants. If she can't, Tang Shaofeng can only find a way to bring them from the blue ocean. But if she is wrong, Tang Shaofeng doesn't know that she is Miao Xiaohui. Isn't it exposed?
"Girl, tell me what you want. I'll tell you which drawer it is. You can take it yourself." When the old man got up, they found that the old man was not only too thin, but also too short, which made people sad.
It seems that she found out her curiosity. The old man grinned with his teeth missing. His tongue and head could see this smile clearly.
"There's something wrong with my leg. I'm afraid you think I'm slow."
"I'll take it myself." Miao Xiaohui looked away at the cupboards. They didn't even have the varieties of herbs on them.
"Where is the Cinnamon Twig..."
"Left wall cabinet, count from the top, third row, second cabinet." The old man answered quickly.
Ah GUI turns around and goes to get it.
"Niu Xi." Miao Xiaohui said.
"The middle cabinet, from the bottom, the second row, the fifth drawer." The old man answered like a stream again.
"Old man, you have a good memory!" Miao Xiaohui was amazed.
"Ha ha ha ha." The old man laughed happily, as if he had found a confidant. "I dug these by myself, or I dried them, and I put them in myself. I must remember."
"Are you a traditional Chinese medicine?" Miao Xiaohui asked curiously.
The old man waved his hand, "no, it's too difficult to learn Chinese medicine. I can only recognize herbs, but I can't see a doctor. My brother can. Unfortunately, he died seven years ago. I'm here to sell herbs."
The Chinese herbal medicine shop lacks traditional Chinese medicine, which is basically the same as closing down. No wonder it looks rather sluggish here.
Miao Xiaohui put away her deadly compassion and continued to report her name, "earthworm."
"The middle cabinet, the first vertical row on the left, the bottom drawer."
Miao Xiaohui reported more than ten kinds of herbs in a row. Ah GUI gave them all. According to the old man's instructions, she took out several kinds of herbs.
"Old man, do you have a place to boil herbs?"
"Yes, I'll take you."
The old man turned and walked towards the inner room. Miao Xiaohui and a GUI quickly followed him. Then she saw clearly that the old man's legs were short and thin, just like two little withered firewood. They didn't match his figure seriously. They walked steadily, but at least they were steady.
The old man brought them to his backyard. In the corner, there were several herbal medicine cans covered with thick dust.
A GUI takes one to wash and sets up the stove. Miao Xiaohui puts the cut herbs in a good proportion.
The herb needs to be boiled for several hours. The old man takes two small benches from the back room to sit for them.
They surrounded the small stove, staring at the smoke.
There was the old man in front of the stove. His muddy eyes kept looking at Miao Xiaohui and ah GUI's faces.
Miao Xiaohui feels that he seems to be looking for an opportunity to talk to them, but ah GUI has a strict face, which makes people feel that he is not easy to get along with. Miao Xiaohui raises her eyes and smiles at the old man, "old man, are you the only one in your family?"
The old man wanted to say something to this nice looking girl. When he heard her talking to him, he grinned: "no, I have a granddaughter. She is sixteen years old."
"Granddaughter?" Miao Xiaohui is a little puzzled.
"It's my brother's granddaughter." Speaking of this, the old man sighed heavily, "her parents left early. She followed us two old men since childhood and didn't enjoy any happiness."
"And where is she, not here?" Miao Xiaohui asked.
It's hard to imagine how the girl would live in such a family.
"She can wash clothes, cook food and recognize herbs since she was a child. This child is very diligent." As soon as the old man mentioned his granddaughter, his muddy eyes were shining, and his two dry hands were gesticulating in the air, "she's next door taking care of children, washing clothes and cooking, and she still has 800 yuan a month!"
Eight hundred yuan a month, from the old man's mouth, seems to be quite happy, Miao Xiaohui heart sour.
After a pause, she asked, "what do you do with your meal? Who will cook it for you?"
"As soon as my granddaughter arrives for dinner, she will send me delicious food. Don't worry, I don't have incisors in front of me." The old man said, pointing to his mouth, "in it, big tooth has not retired yet, still can eat, ha ha ha."
"Then you are enjoying your old age." Miao Xiaohui said to a GUI with a smile: "pay him more money."
"Ouch." The old man waved his hand again and again, "no, I just want my herbal money."
In front of him, the old man accompanied them in the yard, and even refused to go to the front hall. It seems that there are few guests in his herbal medicine shop. It's really not easy for him to save some money.
After a moment of silence, she said, "don't worry. When your granddaughter gets married, the dowry will be on me."
"This this..." the old man's lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
Miao Xiaohui smiles, "don't worry. Maybe I will hire your granddaughter to cook for me in the future. Now I'm 16 years old. It's too early to get married. At least I have to wait until I'm 21 years old. If I see a suitable family, I'll help her find a good husband."
"Thank you so much." The old man put his hands together and bowed to her, "you are such a good man! When I go underground, I will bless your health and your family's happiness and prosperity
Tears lingered in the old man's eyes. He hadn't been out of the Chinese herbal medicine hall for a long time. Because of his natural disability, people around him looked down on him and didn't want to talk to him. These two strangers didn't dislike him at all, and they were chatting with him. He was just around to ask them which family didn't dislike his granddaughter, and wanted to find someone to protect her before his time, Did not expect this time, his heart completely put down.
Miao Xiaohui quickly said: "don't say that. Take good care of your body, live a few more years, and enjoy the good fortune of your granddaughter."
"Well." The old man nodded.
"May I see your granddaughter? I'm familiar with it, too. "
"Yes, yes! I'll ask her to come and show you. " The old man quickly got up, turned and walked to the side of the yard. He was long enough and rushed to the wall of the yard, shouting, "Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang."
Maybe the old man is too excited and his voice is surprisingly loud.
"Ah, grandfather." There was a girl's clear voice across the yard.
"Come here with the baby. I'll introduce you to my uncle and aunt."
"Ah The girl who called Xiao Xiang answered, and the old man turned back and walked around the stove, his eyes shining with joy.
"What did you say just now?" Miao Xiaohui asked curiously.
Only 16 years old, should not have a child!
"It's the owner's child. It's only more than five months old. The father of the child is not at home most of the time. My granddaughter stays in the next yard to look after the child, 800 yuan a month. The owner is responsible for all the living expenses."
"Yes, that's good. It's just across the hospital from you. It's good to work and take care of you by the way."
"Ha ha, listen to my granddaughter, the husband and wife's host is also very good, but the hostess is a little bad tempered, but also very good."
During the conversation, a thin girl came into the courtyard with a baby in her arms. The girl was dressed very plain and clean, her hair was low in the back of her head with a ponytail, her face was still white and tender, and she was holding a five month old child in her arms. She looked incongruous.
The child looks very small. Xiaoxiangli holds her and carefully holds the back of her head. It's very experienced to hold a baby at a young age.
Xiao Xiang looks at a GUI and Miao Xiaohui, biting her lower lip and laughing.
"Xiao Xiang, call uncle and aunt quickly!" The old man's thin hand stretched out.
"Good uncle, good aunt." Xiao Xiang smiles and greets Miao Xiaohui.
Miao Xiaohui smile, "really good, this facial features a look, grow up must be a beauty."
Xiao Xiang bit her lower lip with a shy smile.
Miao Xiaohui came up to her to pick up the child in her arms, "little aunt, help you hold a hug, so as not to sour your little arm."
Xiao Xiang nervously took a step back and didn't let her hold her, "aunt, I'd better hold it myself, I can hold it."
Miao Xiaohui was stunned, and then understood that she was worried about whether they were bad, or what they had done to their children, and it was hard to explain back. She laughed approvingly, "it's really hard for you to have such a strong sense of responsibility when you are so young."
Xiao Xiang embarrassed smile, "I like this little brother."
"Little brother?" Miao Xiaohui's eyes fell on the child in her arms, who was wearing pink clothes and a red pumpkin hat. It was clearly a baby girl's dress.
