Chapter 16
"Amitabha, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, my God, don't come to our jumping horse lake."

The old lady Qi wanted to call all the gods in the sky. The subordinate country has never been a safe place. They all know it, but it is rare in recent years to be so cruel and start to show the inhuman side of those barbarians.

There is no humanity.

Uncle Qi coughed a few times, and said with a serious face:

"They dare to come. The militia team in our village is not vegetarian. Yesterday, the captain of our militia team had a meeting with the militia captains of Huangguo Village and Huangshi Village. Our three villages must take action. Protect the old and weak women and children in the village."

"It should be like this. You men should work hard. Don't worry about the things in the field. We women can do it."

As Zhou said, he also imitated the old lady Qi, put his hands together, and prayed devoutly to the gods and Buddhas.

After breakfast, the three uncles went to the militia again, and the women in the family did embroidery as usual, or went to the fields to take care of the crops.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat in the room, staring at Qi Rong's writing, while carefully looking at the few prescriptions Qi Zhang left her.

These prescriptions are all useful. It seems that the new military doctor from the barracks has some tricks.

However, compared with the palace prescriptions she knew, these few prescriptions could only be regarded as low-quality ones for the treatment of Laofei cough.

The medicines used by the palace are naturally rare, precious, and hard to find. Relatively speaking, the medicines are naturally more effective.

But this is not to say that the prescription given by Qi Zhang is useless. With Sheng Jiaojiao's current ability, he can grab a few low-prepared medicines for Uncle Qi, and treat his old lung cough first.

She took out a small handful of silver barley seeds Qi Zhang had given her, and counted the copper coins that Qi Rong got from selling vegetables earlier.

Qi Rong, who was sitting opposite the little couple, leaned over his little head and asked curiously:

"Sister, why are you frowning?"

"Sister wants to grab some medicine for my uncle's lung cough, but I don't have enough money. I hear my uncle coughing, and I'm afraid it's going to be a big deal."

Sheng Jiaojiao frowned slightly. Although the prescription given by Qi Zhang was low-quality, the money in her hand was still not enough for a course of treatment.

Uncle's lung cough has been going on for many years, and it has already invaded his entire lungs. If there is no accident, he may not be able to get through this winter.

Therefore, a course of medicine is not good to eat at all, and it has to be slowly, like pulling silk, to nourish the body bit by bit, and take away the root of the disease bit by bit.

Qi Rong, who was sitting across from him, hastily dropped the pen in his hand, ran back to his own room, and ran back with two handfuls of copper coins in both hands, and put all the money in his hand on the small table ,

"Sister, I still have money here, I won't buy a sword anymore, let's treat uncle first."

In fact, over the past few years, the Qi family has gradually begun to realize that Uncle Qi's lung cough is a problem.

It's just that there has been no good prescription, and the medicine is expensive, so Uncle Qi's old lung cough is cured, stopped and stopped, and treated again.

Fortunately, Qi Zhang had some military pay in the barracks for the past few years, and Qi Erlang was doing business with the shopkeeper, and would send some money back home every year.

Otherwise, such a big family would not be able to support themselves by growing crops alone, let alone give Uncle Qi medicine to treat lung and cough.

So Qi Wei understood things early on, talking about his uncle's illness, of course it was more important than buying him an iron sword, the boy was willing to take out all the money he saved for buying the iron sword, and treat his uncle's illness first.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the two handfuls of copper coins that Qi Rong placed in front of her, her throat was blocked, she turned around and found a cloth bag, swept the two handfuls of copper coins into the cloth bag, pulled the drawstring on the cloth bag, and said :
"Uncle's medicine money, I have your third sister, eldest brother, and second brother to worry about. Your little money is not enough to buy a medicine powder, so it's better to save it. In the future, I will buy an iron sword to protect my sister and our family. obedient."

Qi Rong quit and insisted on giving the money bag to Elder Sister, so Sheng Jiaojiao got up, dragged Qi Rong into the dirt depression, and said while walking:
"That's okay, sister will keep it for you first, you hurry to sell vegetables, sell a few more times, uncle's medicine money is also available, and you can buy the iron sword back earlier, it's okay, there are scraps in the market The crown prince is here, but it has become the safest place at this time, you just go, let's work hard, and life will be better."

"But third sister, I don't worry about you being at home alone."

Qi Rong looked at Sheng Jiaojiao worriedly, he also wanted to sell vegetables quickly and make money to support the family, but in the morning, when the uncle mentioned that the subordinates slaughtered the family in the north of the county, Qi Rong was very worried about the safety of his sister.

And said:

"How about, third sister, you go to the market with me, and I go to sell vegetables, and you sit next to me and read a book."

"It's okay, if the subordinate country can't fight, you go back quickly, there is still a militia in the village, sister will be fine."

Saying that, Sheng Jiaojiao had already brought Qi Rong to stand on the slope.

When the two looked down, they were both stunned. Inside the soil depression, there was a large amount of green vegetables growing densely.

Why are there so many.

Sheng Jiaojiao remembered that when she came to see it last night, it was still sparsely populated, and she waited on purpose, preparing to let Qi Rong come to cut the small vegetables in the next morning.

As a result, because no one controls their momentum, lettuce, lettuce grows more and more.
"Wow, I haven't visited here for a long time, there are so many wild side dishes."

Qi Rong didn't think too much about it, and carrying a sickle and a basket on his back, he went down the slope to cut vegetables.

There are so many, and they can't be sold out in a day or two, after all, the back basket is only so big.

Sheng Jiaojiao was helpless, she originally wanted to be lazy for a day and let Qi Rong do all the hard work, but in the end the side dishes grew too much.

So, resigned to her fate, she pushed a cart from home, stood on the slope, and shouted at Qi Rong below:

"Fourth, you can push the cart to sell vegetables today, sell more, so you don't have to go twice."

"Oh, listen to sister."

The boy stood in the dirt depression, dark and strong, the wild vegetables were growing well and could be sold for a lot of money, he was also happy in his heart, and he was particularly energetic when he worked.

Seeing this momentum, selling all these side dishes might make my uncle take a few more medicines.

After a while, Sheng Jiaojiao stood on it again and shouted:
"Fourth, first send a basket of side dishes to Tan Ji's family in the next village. Who else is there in his family?"

Qi Rong didn't think as much as Qi Zhang thought, and he didn't think it was strange that Ajie asked him to deliver food to Qi Zhang's house.

While sweating profusely, he replied:

"His family only has an uncle, an aunt, and his younger brother Tan Xiaojian."

The population is not very prosperous.
