"It looks like she's getting sick, who would buy it? In the end, it's not a piece of grass swept away, and it's thrown to the burial mound!"

"Oh, it's so pitiful! The chef of a famous restaurant must be very good at cooking. It's a pity that she is too ill. Look at her coughing so badly, it can't be tuberculosis!"

"Tuberculosis? That's contagious! Brother, let's not join in the fun. If it gets passed on, we can only wait to die at home. I still have a family waiting for me to take care of, so I'll go first."

The two not far behind looked at each other and left one after another. However, Gu Ye was successfully attracted by the comment of "good cooking skills". The woman's illness must have been pneumonia caused by a cold that was not treated in time. Pneumonia may be a deadly serious illness in this era of no antibiotics, but to her, it's just a matter of a few doses of medicine.

At present, she has at least 200 taels of income every month, and there is no pressure to support herself more. The point is, she really doesn't want to wrong herself any more. She eats those unbearable foods every day, and she is about to suffer from depression!

"Two taels of silver, does anyone buy it? A chef with excellent craftsmanship, as long as twenty taels of silver, you can buy a little girl casually, and it's more than this price!" The burly man glared at the woman His eyes were full of ferocity. The onlookers said that if this woman hadn't been bought, she would never have survived tonight.

Seeing the big man, Gu Ye swung the whip in his hand, and was about to slap the whip on the woman, and hurriedly said, "Stop! I bought this man!!"

The big man glanced at the inconspicuous cotton clothes on her, frowned, and said impatiently: "Go! Where's the little girl from, play while you go! If you want to buy someone, let your adults come over!!"

"Why do you want my lord to come over, can you just have some money?" Gu Ye took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, weighing more than two taels, and threw it at the big man.

The burly man took it in his hands, shook his head, nodded and said: "The money and the goods are gone. Little girl, it's not that my Wang San is not moral, I'll give you a last chance to consider. After the people take it away, it's your family that will come. , don't even think about me returning your money!"

"Don't think about it, the master of two taels of silver, I can still do it. Uncle, can I take the person away?" Seeing the big man nodding, Gu Ye walked to the woman's side and took her with her arm. Get up.

The woman coughed violently. After a little bit of relief, a look of despair appeared on her haggard face: "Girl, I can't see my body right now. You'd better take the money and leave, cough, cough, cough"

"Auntie, this is a minor illness. It took a long time for it to become so serious. I just came out of Jimin Hall. I know the shopkeeper there. I will take you there and let the doctor show it to you."

Gu Ye's medicine for the treatment of pneumonia is the stock of medicines from his previous life. If it comes out like this, he has to find a way to cover it up. Simply, let the doctor in Jimintang prescribe some medicine, and then she will move her feet in it when she decocts the medicine.

Just when Gu Ye supported the woman, joined his brother, and walked towards Jimintang. In a remote alley at the corner of the street, the burly man said to the two inconspicuous men: "The task is completed, this is the twenty taels given by the woman, and the twenty taels that the little girl bought people. You are seven or two and I are eight or two, okay?"

"Of course no opinion! We only said a few words behind the little girl's back. Big brother, you have been blowing the cold wind for more than an hour. You should have taken the big head." One of them said silver.

The other person collected the money and asked inexplicably, "Brother, what do you think the woman's purpose is? The little girl doesn't look like a rich lady, why is she trying to get close to her? Rinse in cold water and freeze myself to the point of death. I don't think she's pretending to be sick, so there won't be any accidents, right?"

"What are you doing with so much? We just use money to do things, and the rest is not within our worry. Let's go back to Yancheng and have a good meal. There isn't even a decent restaurant in this poor place!" The figures of the big man and the two of them gradually disappeared on the street corner.

In the Jimin Hall, the shopkeeper Fang was in the shop, sorting out the medicines he received from Gu Ye. Seeing that the Gu Ye brothers and sisters came in with a woman who was described as embarrassed, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, this is?"

"This aunt is very ill, please take a look at the old doctor!" Gu Ye helped the woman to sit on the stool. The old doctor prescribed medicine for the patient in front of him, and the man grabbed the medicine, only then did he free his hand to check the woman's pulse.

The old doctor's expression became dignified, and it took a long while before he took back his pulse-diagnosing hand, and sighed: "Your disease is a cold attacking the lungs, it has been delayed for a long time, and the phlegm is blocking the lungs, the old man gave you a prescription, can you save your life? , it depends on your luck!"

"Girl, the old doctor is not sure about my illness, so don't waste your money." While coughing, the woman tried her best to prevent Gu Ye from taking the medicine.

"Aunt Yan," Gu Ye had already learned her surname from the woman, and persuaded, "If you don't try, how will you know it won't work? Go back with me, my master's medical skills are very good. I used him to teach me last time. The method of first aid saved a patient suffering from a heart attack. Maybe he has a way to cure your disease!"

Hearing this, the old doctor nodded and said, "This girl is right. The old man saw with his own eyes that she brought a dead patient back from the palace of the King of Hell. Although you are seriously ill, maybe you have arrived at a genius doctor. In hand, it's nothing at all."

Gu Ye saw that the young man brought tea, came in from the inner hall, got up and went up to take the tea. When everyone's attention was on the patient, she quickly took a bottle of medicine for pneumonia from the space. This medication is more effective than antibiotics and does not have any side effects.

She poured this colorless potion into the tea and delivered it to Aunt Yan, saying, "Drink some hot tea to warm up your body."

In order to complete the task given by the master, Yan Qiutong also gave it up. According to the news, the target character is knowledgeable in medicine. In order to act realistically, she took a cold shower three nights in a row on the way here. In order to make the disease appear more serious, she has not eaten much for three days. This morning, it froze in the cold wind for more than an hour. She felt that most of her life had been lost!

No, the task given by the master hasn't been completed yet, so she can't die. After taking the tea, she poured it all in one breath. The warm tea poured down her stomach, and her cold body was filled with warmth. I don't know if it was her illusion, but she felt a warmth in her stomach, rushing to her body. Even the seriously ill body is much lighter.

"Manager Fang, can you let Aunt Yan rest in your backyard and take her back after we finish shopping?" After such a delay, I don't know what will happen to Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt. Their brothers and sisters have to hurry up with them Reunion, Zhang Luo needs the New Year's goods.

Given how much the three masters attached great importance to the little girl, the shopkeeper would naturally not refuse. Not only did he place the woman properly and let the young man decoct her, he also took a new set of cotton-padded clothes his mother-in-law had just made from home and asked her to put it on.

When Gu Ye and Gu Ming met Ninth Uncle and the others on the street, the three members of Ninth Uncle's family were going crazy looking for them. Facing the kind nagging of the ninth uncle and his wife, the brother and sister sincerely admitted their mistake and explained the reason for being late.

I heard that Gu Ye spent 22 taels of silver to buy a sick servant, and even gave her money to see a doctor. Aunt Jiu wanted to say something, but finally held back. She sighed and said, "That's a pitiful person too. The Buddha said: Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, you are right! However, for this delay, we have to stay in the town for one more day. "

Gu Li'er smiled and said, "Mother, it's rare for us to come to town. Naturally, we have to go shopping more. There are so many New Year's goods to buy. How can one day be enough?"

Aunt Jiu stretched out her index finger and clicked on her head, and said, "You're very easy to say, you don't need money to live in a restaurant in the town! When you can't get the money, you will be sold to pay off your debt."

"Mother, I'm the only precious daughter in our family. You can't give up on my father, right?" Gu Lier stuck out her tongue at her own house and sought comfort from her father.

Gu Mo nodded and said, "Yes, my daughter is so sensible, capable, and considerate. No amount of money will sell it!" Gu Lier smiled contentedly.

Is this the normal way parents and daughters get along? With such a wonderful father like Gu Qiao, I'm afraid it's really hard to find a second one in this world. Gu Ye looked at Gu Lier with some envy.

Gu Ming gently pulled on her sister's arm, her nose slightly sour: "Sister, you still have me and grandpa. I will treat you even more in the future!"

"In the future, if you marry your sister-in-law, will you always be nice to me?" Gu Ye looked back, smiled at his brother, and asked in a slightly playful tone.

There was heat on Gu Ming's face, but he still nodded resolutely and said, "Well! No one is as important as your sister, even your sister-in-law!"

"Who's sister-in-law? Gu Ming, you want to marry at such a young age?" Gu Li'er teased Gu Ming with a smile after listening to half of the words. Seeing his face getting redder, Gu Li'er laughed louder and louder.

"Sister Li, what are you going to buy for the New Year? Tell us about it!" Gu Ye hurriedly came to rescue his brother and changed the subject.

Gu Li'er thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't know very well! I only know that I need to buy white noodles, meat, and dumplings. I also need to buy yellow rice, red beans, and sticky bean buns. Also, buy more meat and make bacon. Can eat for a winter."

"Sister Li, why are you talking about food? What about the rest?" Gu Ye asked.

"Well, if the family conditions are better, I will buy cloth to make new clothes. In addition, buy red paper to write couplets and cut window grilles, ask the Lord of the Kitchen, buy incense candles, candy, snacks, I only remember so much for worshiping gods. No, ask my mother again?" Gu Li'er racked her brains, thinking only of these.

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year in advance!
