In the next few days, the ships came one after another, and it took ten whole days to install the dozens of warehouses. Tang Qing also helped to move every day. It was hot in midsummer, and he washed clothes with sweat every day. I lost a lot of weight.

"Tang Dong's family, you don't have to be the same as us." The man walking beside Tang Qing, hunched over, carrying two sacks on his shoulders, sweat the size of soybeans kept coming out from between his forehead, and his back was already wet , his neck and face were tanned, but he tried his best to show his front teeth and said to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing gritted his teeth, shrugged the sack that was about to fall, his feet trembled, and continued to move forward with all his strength. The moment he put the sack on the pier, he felt that the whole world was much lighter.

"Drink water." A few resting men beside him handed Tang Qing a water channel in a bamboo tube.

Tang Qing picked up the bamboo tube and used it hard, his lips were dry and cracked together, and the moisture in his body had been drained by sweat, and now he was extremely dehydrated.

"Gulu Gulu." The gulp of water slid down the neck, and it was only when it slid into the belly that it felt a coolness, and it was only at this moment that it seemed to be alive.

Tang Qing put down the bamboo tube, twisted the clothes with his hands, and quickly squeezed out a pile of water. The clothes were already terribly wet. If it weren't for the ancient times who were not shirtless, he would have taken off the clothes a long time ago and stuck them on the It was wet and uncomfortable.

"Okay, he's a man." The steward leading the team this time was not Cheng San, but Wang Lu.He came over and patted Tang Qing on the shoulder, with admiration in his eyes.

Tang Qing smiled at him, but he really didn't have the energy to say anything. After ten days of heavy work, his body was so exhausted that his butt was limp on the deck, and he was so tired that he didn't want to move a single finger.

Seeing that Tang Qing was so tired, Wang Lu smiled and said, "Okay, there's not much left, you can pack up after a while, let's go back together."

Only then did Tang Qing turn his head and blinked his eyes. He remembered that this was the last boat, and it was time to go home. Zhou Qing was waiting for him at home. He had been away for a month, and he didn't know what was going on at home. Condition.

I asked someone to bring back the medicine to prevent plague and heatstroke. I don't know if they received it.At this moment, Tang Qing wanted to go home unparalleled. It turned out that it felt so good to have a home, and he had never missed home like this before.

I miss Zhou Qing especially. It seems that there is something missing around me in the past month. Occasionally, I would call out stupidly in the room: "Qing'er, pour me a glass of water." After waiting for a long time for no response, I looked up. When you find yourself not at home.

In the middle of the night, he often got up and touched his side, but every time the hand he stretched out was empty, he woke up in shock in the middle of the night, thinking that Zhou Qing had disappeared in the middle of the night.Until he came back to his senses, his body was covered in cold sweat.

Ever since he talked with Fang Lian about the plague that day, Tang Qing often dreamed that Zhou Qing was in misfortune in the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep well.

Cheng Minghai's boats were sent directly from the South China Sea, and they would not pass through Wenshui County on the way, otherwise there would be no news about this meeting, and the more there was no news, the more worried he was.

In order to relax his mind, Tang Qing came to the harbor every day to help carry the goods. It doesn't help him to be anxious now, he can only force himself to cheer up and do some heavy work, so that he won't think about it. Thinking about things.

He could go home soon, Tang Qing's sluggish body seemed to gain momentum again, and he got up from the deck with a grunt. While there was still time, he went to say goodbye to the couple at the inn, and then tidy up salute.

I picked up a lot of shells and other things before, and went to the city to buy a lot of books, brocade cloth, and various odds and ends.

After all, Wenshui County is a small county, and it can't compare to a big town like Miaocheng, which has everything.Every three steps there was a novelty, so Tang Qing had to stop to pick and choose, to see what he could buy and take home.

It’s hard to go out for a stroll, so you can’t come back empty-handed. You have to tell them about the prosperity of this Miaocheng, so that you can take Zhou Qing out for a stroll when you have the opportunity.

Tang Qing buys the most books. He always likes to study Chinese medicine and dislikes Western medicine, but he has to admit that some Western medicines are indeed more effective than Chinese medicine.

So in his spare time, he also combines Chinese and Western medicine to study some new medicines. In his heart, he still feels that Chinese medicine should be better than Western medicine, but many modern Chinese medicine doctors are too impetuous to concentrate on research.

In this era, Tang Qing has not given up his love for Chinese medicine, and still hopes that he can carry forward this field. It may take a long time, but he is still young and has plenty of time.

In the end, Tang Qing bought a lot of medical books and the Four Books and Five Classics, and spent a lot of money.Sure enough, reading is expensive everywhere, and I spent hundreds of taels of silver just to buy a stack of books.

If you don’t have any money, how can you afford to read books? There are still many poorly dressed scholars reading in bookstores.

Seeing that Tang Qing could buy so many books in one go, envious expressions appeared in his eyes.

"Leaving?" Fang Lian saw Tang Qing packing up her things, and stood at the door of the room looking at him with wet eyes.

I have lived most of my life without a son and a half daughter. I opened this inn with my wife for the purpose of passing the day. Usually, the guests only stay for three to five days at most. Some of them are too high-spirited to talk to rural old people like them. .

Only Tang Qing lived here the longest, and he was willing to listen to her nagging, and he could catch up with her a few words from time to time. Unknowingly, Fang Lian regarded him as her own son.Tang Qing's posture of packing up his things suddenly and leaving made her feel a little bit reluctant.

"Yes, thanks to your two elders taking care of you during this time." Tang Qing looked at the shopkeeper and his wife at the door, feeling a little touched. After getting along for a month, they felt like relatives to him, but everything in the world will be separated. Banquets always end when they should end.

The shopkeeper helped Fang Lian stand in the doorway, and slowly sighed, "We didn't take care of you, we should thank you. My old problems for many years are almost cured by you."

The shopkeeper is a bit old, usually has pneumonia, and coughs badly after a little cold. Tang Qing prescribed a few prescriptions for him after hearing about it.

After eating it, it really got better, and now I still have a little cough, but it is not as bad as before.

In Tang Qing's view, this is just a little effort, not worth mentioning.But for the shopkeeper, this is a great favor.

"If you take the prescription for another month, you will change to the second one. After taking the second one for another month, you will change to the third one. If you keep taking the third one for half a year, your disease will be almost cured. As long as you pay more attention not to Suffering from the cold." Speaking of the disease, Tang Qing gave a few more instructions, and the three prescriptions he gave were all based on the course of treatment, in case they would forget to say it again.

"Got it, got it." The shopkeeper's couple nodded repeatedly and helped Tang Qing carry the luggage downstairs.Because Tang Qing bought a lot of things, he had more luggage than when he came.

"Then I will take my leave. If there is a chance in the future, I will bring my husband to see you again." Standing at the door of the inn, Tang Qing bid farewell to the shopkeeper and his wife.

There were already two strong men standing at the door to help carry the luggage. They waited for Tang Qing to come down, and when they saw the luggage in the shopkeeper's hand, they immediately helped to take it.

"Boy Qing, I'll give you some biscuits."

"There's also my wine, and I'll take a few jugs back home to taste with my family."

"I can only give you some tea."

The people in the town had known Tang Qing for a long time, and when they saw that Tang Qing was leaving, they all came out to see him off.Tang Qing was about to take out silver from his clothes to pay, but the owner of the wine shop stopped him.

"No money, it's all for you, keep it, you have taken care of our business a lot this month, if you have time in the future, come and play with us more."

Looking at them, Tang Qing was inexplicably moved. After coming to this world, he gained a lot of simple and sincere feelings. Only then did he realize that the world is not so lonely, and there are also people who are warm and cold.

After saying goodbye, he still had to leave after all. Under the watchful eyes of some people in the town, Tang Qing still left.

After Tang Qing left, Zhou Qing was not idle either. He ran around the town at home and had no free time at all.

But recently the atmosphere in the town is a bit bad, people get sick frequently, and now the Huichun Hall is overcrowded, and people from the county government are also frequently coming to urge, Zhou Qing can't wait to turn one person into eight people.

All the pressure was on him alone, which made him a little out of breath. Sometimes he really wanted to give up. Like Tang Qing said, if he couldn't do it, he would close the shop and hide for two days.

But when he thought that the airs that Tang Qing had put up with great difficulty would be destroyed in his hands, he couldn't help but grit his teeth no matter how tired he was.

"How is this account calculated?" It was already midnight, Zhou Qing was holding a brush in one hand and the account book in the other, his scalp was about to be scratched, looking at the numbers on the account book, no matter how he calculated it was wrong, he was very irritated.

He is willing to let him move things weighing hundreds of catties now. Without Tang Qing, there is no one to ask for advice on things he doesn't understand.

"Meditation, meditation." Zhou Qing took a deep breath, calmed down, and kept recalling in his mind how Tang Qing taught him when he was here.

"If you can't figure it out, you can just draw a table like this, fill in the numbers, and then recalculate the final total."

Zhou Qing kept imagining how Tang Qing was still by his side, letting his restless mood settle down, and the pen in his hand started to move on the paper. After a while, the form was drawn, and the numbers were filled in one by one. , and finally figure it out.

"Hey, that's right." Seeing that the numbers on the form were exactly the same as those on the account book, Zhou Qing jumped up happily. It seems that this method is still effective.

At this time, it was almost dawn, so the first book was ready. Zhou Qing opened the second book and continued according to the algorithm just now. If he used the right method, the speed would naturally increase, and the sky would be bright before he knew it.

It wasn't until Zhang Lan pushed the door in that he saw Zhou Qing who was sleeping soundly on the table.The oil lamp on the table was still on, and it looked like he had stayed up all night.

No wonder I didn't see my uncle early this morning. It turned out that I stayed up late last night. Since my uncle left, my uncle hasn't had a good night's sleep.

Zhang Lan found a thin coat to put on Zhou Qing, blew out the oil lamp, tidied up the books on the desk, and quietly left the room, for fear of waking Zhou Qing up.
