Chu Yang followed Zhang Sanniu and his wife back home. Zhang Sanniu's daughter-in-law immediately lit the fire and cooked, intending to let Chu Yang have a full meal before leaving. Zhang Sanniu had three sons, but the eldest son and the second son were married, and he created a homeowner himself, so he didn't live with them, only a younger son who was two years younger than Chu Yang lived with them.
When the food was served, Chu Yang hurried over to help, and asked 003 the time in his heart, and 003 said that it was ten o'clock in the morning.
There is nothing delicious on the dining table of the peasant household. Big cornmeal pancakes, green vegetable soup without oil and water, a bowl of miso, a few green onions, and a handful of wild vegetables. And five boiled eggs.
"Mom, have you boiled eggs today?" Seeing the eggs, Zhang Shitou, the old son of Zhang Sanniu's family, was overjoyed, and reached out to get them, but was beaten back by his mother.
"This is cooked for you, Brother Dashan. Tomorrow, mother will cook it for you again!" Looking at the youngest son, San Niang said seriously.
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhang Shitou glanced at Chu Yang enviously.
"Come on, you can eat the stone, Brother Dashan can just eat pancakes!" As he spoke, Chu Yang took an egg and stuffed it into the stone.
"I, I..." Looking at Chu Yang, Shitou looked at his parents.
"Okay, Brother Dashan gave it to you, you can eat one, but you can't move the remaining four, they belong to Brother Dashan!" Glancing at him, Zhang Sanniu said so.
"Hey!" Nodding, Stone happily took the boiled egg.
"Da Shan, eat more, San Niang's house doesn't have delicious food, but if you are full, eat more!" Saying this, San Niang poked an egg into Chu Yang's bowl.
"Yes, you guys should eat more!" Saying this, San Niu handed another large cornmeal pancake to Chu Yang.
"Hey, thank you, Third Master and Third Mother!" Nodding, Chu Yang hurriedly took the pancakes. Xin said: This is the first time for him, his throat hurts from eating big cornmeal pancakes! I have to say that the ancient coarse grains are really different from the modern coarse grains!
After the meal, I saw that Chu Yang only ate one boiled egg and one pancake. Sanniu's daughter-in-law wrapped the remaining five pancakes and three eggs in a rag, and stuffed them to Chu Yang. "Dashan, you take it and eat on the road."
"No, no need for San Niang!" Shaking his head, Chu Yang hastily refused.
"Oh, your third mother gave it to you, so you can take it, it's not worth anything, just take it and eat it!" After taking a look at Chu Yang, Sanniu also asked Chu Yang to take it.
"Hey, then, thank you, Third Master and Third Mother!" Chu Yang couldn't resist the two of them, so he could only accept the food they offered.
Not long after, the village chief and his wife came to Zhang Sanniu's house. The village chief's wife handed over a half-person-high backpack to Chu Yang. "Dashan, this is the vegetable that my aunt dug in the yard. There is a big radish, some sweet potatoes, a bunch of green onions and a few cucumbers. It is always bad for you to go to your uncle this time with empty hands. You bring some vegetables , your aunt can give you some good looks!"
"Yes, take it Dashan, this is your fourth aunt's wish!" Nodding, the village chief said the same.
"Hey, thank you fourth uncle, thank you fourth aunt!" Nodding his head, Chu Yang thanked him again and again, and took the basket.
"Did your father's two taels of silver come over?" Looking at Chu Yang, the village head asked in a low voice.
"Not yet!" Shaking his head, Chu Yang said no.
"Oh, then wait a moment!" Nodding, the village chief didn't say anything.
After about a stick of incense, Zhang Dagen and Dagen's wife came to Sanniu's house.
"Master, aunt!" Seeing someone coming, Chu Yang hurriedly called for him.
"Da Shan, these are your brother Da Da's new clothes and shoes, and my aunt brought them for you. You go into the back room and change them. If you go to your uncle's house and dress so shabby, you will be looked down upon by others!" The aunt stuffed the clothes to Chu Yang.
"Ma'am!" Seeing the new clothes and shoes in his arms, Chu Yang was very moved.
"Be obedient, go and change it!" After speaking, the aunt pushed Chu Yang into the back room.
"Okay, okay then, thank you, sir and aunt!" Chu Yang thanked repeatedly with his head lowered. I went in with my clothes in my arms and changed.
"Village chief, here are two pieces of silver for me to send to Dashan!" Zhang Dagen took out two pieces of silver and put it on the table.
"Hmm!" Knowing that Zhang Ergen and his wife were unwilling to come, the village head didn't say much.
Just like that, Chu Yang put on new clothes, new shoes, and carried a small basket on his back. He got into Zhang Sanniu's ox cart, and was sent by Zhang Sanniu to Ping'an Town, a town ten miles away from Taohua Village.
When he arrived in the town, Chu Yang went to Dongcheng according to the original owner's memory, and bought two sets of ready-made clothes, two pairs of shoes, a roast chicken and two packs of snacks. Chu Yang's back basket was covered with a small floral cloth, so when Chu Yang got out of the car, he quietly put all the vegetables in the back basket into his own space, bought a change of clothes, grilled chicken, and snacks The eggs and pancakes given by He Sanniang were put into the small basket.
"003, where are my wife and my son?" Chu Yang asked in his heart.
"Host, the little Living Buddha is to the west, about fifty miles away from here!"
"Well, I got it!" Chu Yang nodded, expressing his understanding.
Walking around in the street, Chu Yang found a scholar who wrote letters for him.
Looking at Chu Yang sitting in front of his desk, the scholar was stunned. "Little brother, do you want to write a letter?"
"Well, I want to write one, how much is it?"
"Ten copper coins." Looking at Chu Yang, the scholar immediately stated the price.
Hearing this, Chu Yang frowned. It's not that he dislikes being expensive, he's just thinking about who to send the letter to when it's finished.
"At least, at least eight copper coins, no less!" Seeing the hesitation on Chu Yang's face, the scholar hastily changed his words.
"Okay, then help me write!" Nodding, Chu Yang agreed.
"What do you want to write?" Picking up the pen, the scholar asked.
"I told you to write, Uncle, I am Dashan. My stepmother beat me again and wronged me for stealing money from the family. My father kicked me out of the house. However, I met a visiting doctor on the way. He He said that he would accept me as an apprentice and take me back to his pharmacy to study medicine. So, you don’t have to worry about me, and you don’t need to ask someone to deliver things to Taohua Village! When your nephew is promising in the future, he will definitely come back to buy meat for you , be filial to you!" After thinking for a while, Chu Yang wrote such a family letter in Zhang Dashan's tone.
"Well, it's finished!" After finishing writing, the scholar blew on the ink and waited until the ink dried. He just took the envelope and put it in the envelope.
"This is eight copper coins." After speaking, Chu Yang took out eight copper coins and put them on the table.
"Your letter!" After receiving the money, the scholar handed over the letter, but Chu Yang didn't accept it.
"Do you know the blacksmith shop of Li's on West Street?" Chu Yang asked, staring at the scholar.
"I know, what's the matter?" Raising his eyebrows, the scholar looked at him suspiciously.
"You give this letter to Li Dashu, who works at the Li family's iron shop, and he can give you twenty copper coins!"
Hearing this, the scholar's eyes lit up. "you sure?"
"Tell him that this is a letter from his nephew Zhang Dashan, and he will definitely give you the money!" Chu Yang was very confident about this.
"Okay, that's good, I'll send it over in a while!" Nodding, the scholar readily agreed.
"Thank you!" Chu Yang smiled at the other party, got up and left.
Originally, he wanted to hire a carriage. On the way, he came across a stall for buying ironware. Chu Yang glanced at the stall and spent another three hundred copper coins to buy a small shovel specially used for digging herbs. He thought that if his wife lived in the village, he could use this shovel to dig herbs in the mountains. In this way, there is no need to worry, the daughter-in-law and son are sick and there is no herbal medicine.
After buying everything he wanted to buy, Chu Yang found the horse-drawn carriage in the market. It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and some of the horse-drawn carriages had already been found and left. There was only one carriage left, so Chu Yang had no choice. Stepping forward, he walked up to the carriage, and saw a middle-aged man standing beside the carriage feeding the horses. He was about thirty years old, with a big beard and round arms. An annoying person.
"Uncle, are you pulling your feet?" Chu Yang asked softly as he walked over.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Chu Yang, who was only as tall as his creaking nest. "Where are you going, baby? Where's your family?"
"Oh, I'm going to my grandma's, Westside!"
"Westside? Zhangjiagou?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked.
"How far is Zhangjiagou from here?" Staring at the middle-aged man, Chu Yang asked seriously.
"There are twenty miles of land. If you want to go, the minimum is sixty copper coins!" Looking at Chu Yang, the man replied seriously.
"I don't want to go to Zhangjiagou, it's farther away." Speaking of this, Chu Yang was a little embarrassed, sweat! He only knew fifty miles to the west, and he didn't know what it was, whether it was a village or a town!
"Further away is Daliushu Village. Daliushu Village is fifty miles away from here. If you want to go for at least one hundred and fifty copper coins, I won't go without it!" Looking at Chu Yang, the middle-aged man didn't bargain for him at all. room for.
"Uncle, besides Daliushu Village, are there any other villages and towns in the west?" Chu Yang asked again, staring at the middle-aged man.
"Ten miles to the west of Daliushu Village is Xinghua Village, and twenty miles to the west is Longquan Town. It's already noon now, and I can go to Longquan Town as far as I can. If it's too far away, I won't go, otherwise, my god Hei can't come back!" Looking at Chu Yang, the man told the truth.
"Uncle, then, are there only these three villages and one town in the west?"
Hearing this, the man rolled his eyes when asked. "Boy, I've been dragging my feet for ten years. Are you still afraid that I'll lose you?"
"No, no, uncle, don't be angry. I, this is the first time I go out alone. I used to go with my father." Seeing the impatient look on the man's face, Chu Yang hastily apologized.
Hearing this, the man snorted coldly. "Okay, just tell me where you are going! I promise I won't drag you away!"
"Oh, my father said that my grandma lives in a village fifty miles to the west, so it should be Daliushu Village, right?" Looking at the man, Chu Yang asked uncertainly.
"If it's fifty miles away from here and on the west side, then it can only be the big willow tree. No, you haven't been to your own grandma's house, have you?" Speaking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
"I, I went there when I was six years old. I haven't been there for many years!" Since the original owner's mother died, the original owner has never been to his grandma's house. Of course, the original owner's grandma's family lived in Lijia Village to the east. Not the west side!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man twitched his mouth. "As long as you can be sure that it is fifty miles to the west, it must be Daliushu Village. You can't be wrong. I am very familiar with the road in that area. It is that village. Zhangjiagou is twenty miles away from here, and Xinghua Village is here. It’s sixty-three miles away. Only Daliushu Village is exactly fifty miles away.”
"Then, I'll go to Daliushu Village!" Nodding, Chu Yang said firmly.
"Okay, let's get in the car. I'll feed the horses and let's go. It's agreed, one hundred and fifty copper coins, not one less!"
"Okay!" Nodding, Chu Yang climbed into the man's carriage.
