The warm life of farming

Mu Yuan was startled when he heard this, frowned and asked, "How are you village chiefs?"

An Ran sighed: "The village chief is fairly fair, but Xu Dongping is a little bully and afraid of evil."

Mu Yuan said: "Then have you gone to the village chief?"

An Ran shook her head: "It's useless to look for it. No one is willing to stand up and testify against us. They are all afraid that Xu Dongping will retaliate."

Mu Yuan thought for a while, and felt that this matter was not easy to handle. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is Xu Dongping fighting with?"

An Ran seemed extremely unwilling to mention this person and said, "Xu Anping."

"Two brothers?"

An Ran was helpless: "Of course not. Just because of this name, Xu Dongping would trouble him whenever he got the chance."

"Then what about Xu Anping?"

An Ran only used eight words to describe him: "Cowardly and incompetent, timid and afraid of getting into trouble."

After saying this, the two stood in the yard frowning for a while, not knowing what to do next.

In the end, An Ran sighed, picked up the bowl she put down just now, and said to Mu Yuan: "Brother Mu, you go into the room and rest, I'll go and feed Daddy the medicine."

Mu Yuan frowned and looked at the dark soup in the bowl, and asked doubtfully, "What kind of medicine is this?"

An Ran carefully held the medicine bowl, and replied: "Ms. Xu boiled it, and said it is a folk remedy for headaches."

Mu Yuan also doesn't know medical skills, and he doesn't know whether this so-called folk remedy for headaches works or not, but just smelling the smell of this medicine feels very pungent.

Mu Yuan felt a little uneasy, and followed An Ran into the West Room. The windows in the room were tightly closed, the light was dim, and there was an indescribable smell in the air, which was extremely unpleasant.Father An was lying unconscious on the kang, An Ran stepped forward and yelled softly, but Father An did not respond at all.

Seeing that An Ran was going to give medicine to Father An, Mu Yuan hurried up to help.Just now, due to the distance and the dimness of the room, I didn't see the situation of Father An clearly, but now after a close observation, I realized that the situation is worse than I thought.Father An was lying on the kang with a sluggish expression, his face was waxy, and he was already exhaling more air than inhaling.Mu Yuan was really taken aback, and suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason, his throat was blocked, and he wanted to cry very much.

Because old man an is already in a deep coma and can't feel the outside situation at all, so he can't cooperate with taking medicine.An Ran was still trying to find a way to feed the medicine in, Mu Yuan sat aside and watched uncomfortably, finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up abruptly, snatched the medicine bowl, and said to An Ran: "Don't feed this, I don't know if it will work or not, you wait for me here, I will go to the city to find a doctor for Uncle An."

After all, put the bowl away, stand up and walk out.An Ran was taken aback by this turn of events, and didn't have time to react. When she realized she was about to chase outside, she saw Mu Yuan running back again.

Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and said eagerly: "Where's the prescription you prescribed last time? Give it to me quickly."

An Ran was surprised, and didn't know what Mu Yuan was going to do, so she asked doubtfully, "What do you want the prescription for?"

Mu Yuan would be very impatient now, and he didn't care about his tone, he yelled directly: "Nonsense, go grab the medicine, hurry up and get it for me."

An Ran was startled by the shout, and hurried into the house to give Mu Yuan the prescription.Mu Yuan took Fang Zi and took a look at it first, but he couldn't understand it completely, so he put the stack of Fang Zi in his arms, put his backpack on his back, and comforted An Ran: "Don't worry, I will take the doctor to catch up with you as soon as possible." Come back, you wait here with peace of mind, don't feed Uncle An any more messy things."

An Ran's eyes were already red, so many days of pressure, so many days of panic, so many days of uneasiness that had been suppressed for so many days, all of them surged up at this moment, and the 14-year-old boy just cried out in front of Mu Yuan.

An Ran wiped her tears and said uneasyly, "Father will be fine, right?"

Mu Yuan nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle An is such a good person, he will live a long life."

He didn't dare to delay for a moment after speaking, and left in a hurry.

Mu Yuan's last words were not only to An Ran, but also to comfort himself. He only hoped that good people would live long and that Uncle An could survive.

At the entrance of the village where Mu Yuan ran all the way, he didn't see a bullock cart going to the city, so he suddenly became anxious, what time would it be when he came back to Yaocheng?When I was running around in a hurry, I suddenly thought of Xu Tu!Mu Yuan hurriedly asked the villager Xu Tu where he lived, and ran over before he could say thank you.When he arrived at Xu Tu's house, he didn't bother to greet the surprised Xu Tu, and went straight to the point.This Xu Tu also heard about Father An, and was very angry for him, but his family's conditions were limited and he couldn't help him. Hearing that Mu Yuan was going to find a doctor for Father An's life, he didn't say anything, he was refreshing agreed.

The two drove the ox cart to Yaocheng quickly.On weekdays, when I go to the city, I will bring goods with me, and because I feel sorry for the cattle being pulled, I am not in a hurry, and it takes a long time.This time, because he was rushing to save lives, Xu Tu rushed all the way, and he arrived at Yaocheng in less than 3 hours. As soon as he arrived in Yaocheng, Mu Yuan jumped out of the car and gave Xu Tu the prescription, and said to Xu Tu: "Brother Xu You go and ask the doctor, this is the prescription prescribed last time, it is best to let the doctor see if there is any problem, if you take the medicine, you must be the best, I will go back to get the money, and we will meet at the gate of the city in a while."

After Xu Tu solemnly agreed, he drove the bullock cart to the direction of the medical center.

On the other hand, Mu Yuan turned around and walked towards the pawnshop.

When he reached the door of the pawn shop, Mu Yuan collected his mind and stabilized his beating heart, and then walked in slowly.When I entered the door, I saw the pawnbroker sitting lazily behind the counter, his entire upper body lying lazily on the counter, squinting his eyes and leaning on his arm, and slowly fanning his palm fan with his other hand.Mu Yuan had been in for a long time and this guy didn't notice.

Mu Yuan stepped forward and tapped the counter with his hand and said, "Man, I want to be something."

The guy was wandering, when he heard someone pawning something, he sat up straight quickly, before seeing the person, he had already spoken, and his tone was very polite: "What do you want to pawn?"

read it after talking

When they arrived at Mu Yuan, they hurriedly looked through the wooden railing. Seeing Mu Yuan's attire in rough linen clothes, his attitude immediately turned 180 degrees, and he said lazily, "What are you doing?"

Mu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart, but because he was in a hurry, he didn't want to argue with this guy, so he said, "The things I pawn are more expensive, so ask your boss to come out."

"Hey~" The guy sneered, and said without hesitation: "What valuable things can you have?" Then he looked at the bag Mu Yuan was carrying with his mouth curled up and said: "I'm afraid it's another broken bed. The quilt and the clothes are really a treasure."

Mu Yuan was speechless, and then thought of how can a quilt be used as a quilt?So he asked, "How do you make a quilt?"

"It's the old rule, all quilts and clothes are worth 10 cents." The guy said impatiently.

10 Wen?I don't know how much my quilt and clothes have been deducted by the unscrupulous shopkeeper Xie, but it must be more than 10 yuan!

"I said you, are you right?" The guy saw that Mu Yuan stood there for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking. He just didn't speak, so he became even more impatient.

"Dang." Mu Yuan suddenly had an idea, and asked in confirmation: "You guys accept everything, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on what it is. I don't want rags." The guy had a bad attitude.

"Of course it's not broken. I dare say you've never seen this thing before." Mu Yuan said as he put down his backpack and started rummaging inside.

The guy was so intrigued by the words, he quickly sat up straight and lay down on his stomach, watching Mu Yuan's movements along the cracks in the wooden fence, and saw Mu Yuan flipping through his bag for a long time, and took out a bag from the bag. A long tube of blue cloth comes.

Mu Yuan put the folding umbrella on the counter with a snap, then put his backpack back on his back, and said to the guy who was looking at the umbrella: "See, have you seen this thing?"

The guy first raised his head and took a careful look at Mu Yuan, then frowned and looked at the things. He was a little unsure, so he said, "You open it for me so I can see what's inside."

Mu Yuan rolled his eyes and stopped pretending to be mysterious. He picked up the folding umbrella and took two steps back to open it. Then, facing the stunned guy who was watching, he turned over and over to let him see the umbrella clearly.

Mu Yuan asked, "Do you see clearly now?"

The guy never took his eyes off the umbrella, and he said happily after hearing this, "I see it clearly, I see it clearly, this is an umbrella!"

Mu Yuan asked again: "Have you seen such an umbrella before?"

The buddy shook his head, his eyes were still studying how the umbrella was propped up, and he said, "I've never seen such an umbrella, it's so short, how can it be propped up in one go."

Mu Yuan said maliciously: "Then this is a good thing, right?"

The guy was about to answer when he suddenly felt that the question was not in the right tone, so he woke up and quickly adjusted his facial expression.The surprise just now was like a hallucination, but now his expression looks very serious, his tone is no longer perfunctory, and he said slowly: "Then it depends on how to say it."

Seeing that he couldn't get the words out, Mu Yuan curled his lips regretfully, so he simply said, "I want to pawn this umbrella, so let's see how much it will cost."

The guy hesitated for a long time, and tentatively said: "2 money..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yuan took the umbrella and turned his head to leave. The guy looked anxious and said quickly: "Don't go, don't go, I can't set a price for this thing, wait until I call the shopkeeper."

After speaking, the buddy jumped off the high stool and ran back quickly.Mu Yuan began to look at the furnishings here. Before he could see clearly what was carved on the table, he saw a middle-aged man coming out from behind. He was thin and had a mustache. He looked like a profiteer.Mu Yuan thought to himself that this probably belonged to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yuan first, then turned his head and asked the guy who came out behind him, "Is that this one?"

The guy whispered: "Go back to the shopkeeper, the things belong to him."

The shopkeeper said slowly to Mu Yuan: "My buddy said, you have an umbrella, can it be made longer or shorter?"

Mu Yuan knew that this shopkeeper would be harder to fool than the guy just now, so he thought for a while and replied, "It's not that it can be made longer or shorter, it's just that the design of this umbrella is unique."

The shopkeeper said, "Oh? Can I have a look first?"

Mu Yuan said: "Of course." Then he opened the umbrella, and demonstrated it to the shopkeeper again.

After all, the shopkeeper is well-informed and has a vicious eye. After looking at it for a long time, he almost knows the principle of this umbrella.However, if you know it, you know it. If you want to follow it, you may not be able to do it.

The shopkeeper thought about it mentally, and he probably had a bottom line, so he said, "I don't know how much this young master intends to be?"

Mu Yuan was not polite, and said directly: "35 taels of silver." After finishing speaking, his heart was beating drums, and he was completely like a lion opening his mouth, asking for prices.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper paused, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled and said: "35 taels of silver, you are really joking, sir."

Mu Yuan didn't care about it at the moment, thinking that old man An was waiting for money to save his life, so he said cheekily: "It's only 35 taels! Shopkeeper, you should know that the one you bought is the only one in the world. Look at this The workmanship design is absolutely unique in the world.”

The shopkeeper heard the words and said: "Although the thing is rare, it is nothing more than an umbrella. An umbrella costs 35 taels of silver. What do you think it is made of?"

Mu Yuan was flickering with open arms, and said: "I need money to save my life, otherwise I wouldn't treat it here. If I take it to the capital, then it must not only sell for 35 taels , there is really no other way, so I came here to be it."

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed that he had listened to Mu Yuan's words.

Mu Yuan watched the show, and continued to fool around: "This umbrella is also beautifully crafted. Even if it doesn't rain, sell it to the housekeepers and use it when you go out to cover the sun or something. It's the only one among all. It's so eye-catching!"

The shopkeeper said suddenly: "You

Is this dead? "

Mu Yuan nodded quickly: "Damn it."

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and said: "Okay, 35 and two dead, I will take it."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the guy next to him widened his eyes. It was just an umbrella, but he really gave 35 taels.But if my boss sends it, even if it feels expensive in the future, I can't rely on myself.

After the tickets were issued and registered, Mu Yuan took the money and left in a hurry.

As soon as Mu Yuan left here, the clerk couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, this thing...is it too expensive?"

The shopkeeper suddenly smiled and said: "The weather is hot these few days, it seems that it will rain in the next two days, and the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the magistrate, if my little sister goes there with this umbrella, it will definitely attract attention. It would be the best thing to attract the attention of the magistrate. If it doesn’t matter, it’s okay, send the item to the capital, and I, the shopkeeper, can still sell it twice as much.”

After listening to the buddy, he praised the shopkeeper for his scheming, and he couldn't compare to it.

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said: "Nonsense, if you have this ability, you will not be a buddy."

The guy smiled flatteringly and said, "The shopkeeper said so."

Here, Mu Yuan took the money and went out and was still thinking, a broken umbrella actually made him get 35 taels of silver, it was too much of a lottery.Originally, I planned to sell jade, but I didn't expect to get it done with an umbrella. I was so lucky.

Mu Yuan looked up at the sky, it was still bright, but he also knew that there were many days in summer, and he didn't know when it would be, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave the city too late, so he ran to the city gate in a hurry.When he arrived at the door, he saw Xu Tuzheng stretching his neck anxiously and looking around.

Mu Yuan hurried over, Xu Tu came only after seeing Mu Yuan, and said anxiously, "Why is it taking so long? The city gates are about to be closed."

Mu Yuan saw an old man sitting on the bullock cart, holding what should be a medicine box in his arms, so he didn't bother to explain to Xu Tu, and just urged him to leave the city and return to Xujia Village.

Xu Tu drove out of the city with the two of them in an ox cart, not daring to delay, when he heard the sound of closing the city gate behind him, Mu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and almost couldn't go back in time.

The author has something to say: the shopkeeper's sister exists just to sell this broken umbrella, oh yes!
