Chapter 54
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xiaowu led the three of them out.

After a brief freshening up, the three of them looked refreshed.

"Miss Qingcao will be your master from now on. Don't be that ungrateful person, and don't think that you are easy to bully when you are young, and do that deceitful thing." Zhou Xiaowu looked at the three of them and carried out a conversation beat.

Liu Qingcao listened, raised the corners of her lips and smiled, looked at the three of them, all three of them were thin and out of shape, it seemed that they had suffered a lot, the man was about 30 years old, his left foot was lame, and his face was pale. Bloody, at first glance it was a symptom of a chronic illness.

The boy nestled in the woman's arms in fear, his big eyes avoided Liu Qingcao's scrutiny.

"Servant Cuizhi has seen the girl, thank you for saving her life." Chen Cuizhi knelt down in front of Liu Qingcao gratefully and kowtowed three times.

Liu Qingcao couldn't prevent her from making such a move, and immediately jumped away in fright.

This ancient man really knelt down and kowtowed at every turn, which was really unacceptable to her.

"That's all right, all right, get up first, you won't need these vain rituals in the future, if you want to repay your kindness, you can go back with me and get your health back."

"Get up quickly, don't scare people, get out of this door, work hard, Miss Qingcao is nice, as long as you don't make mistakes, she will treat you well." Zhou Xiaowu saw that Liu Qingcao was not used to these etiquettes, Let Chen Cuizhi get up quickly.

Chen Cuizhi was a smart person, she saw Zhou Xiaowu said so, she stopped kneeling, got up quickly, walked over to her husband and son and stood up.

Liu Qingcao let out a sigh of relief as she watched her get up.

"Little Fifth Brother, give me the deed of sale."

Liu Qingcao took out the money and handed it to Zhou Xiaowu. Zhou Xiaowu immediately went to the cabinet to find out the family's deed of prostitution and handed it to her.

Liu Qingcao took the deed of sale in her hand and looked at it. It contained the basic information of the three people, and it was stamped with a big seal.

The man is 28 years old and his surname is Pan Mingyong.

The woman is 25 years old, her surname is Chen and her name is Cuizhi.

The boy is eight years old and his name is Pan Ping'an.

"Thank you little fifth brother, take your time and I will take my ancestors away."

"Okay, if you need help, just come here."

Liu Qingcao nodded, and took the three of them away. The three of them had been malnourished for a long time and walked slowly.

Walking to the noodle shop, Liu Qingcao looked at the three of them, then walked in.

"Come in, eat something before leaving."

Chen Cuizhi looked at the people in front, then at her husband and son beside her, and helped them into the shop with great effort.

Just standing like that, not sitting down, Liu Qingcao pinched the center of her eyebrows, and said helplessly:
"Sit down, how can you eat if you don't sit down?"

Chen Cuizhi opened her mouth, and finally sat down under Liu Qingcao's forced eyes.

"Shopkeeper, here are four bowls of plain noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be here soon."

"Pan Yong, right? From now on, I'll call you Big Brother Pan, and my sister-in-law, Big Sister Chen. I heard from Brother Fifth that you know how to do some crafts. What exactly do you do?"

"Girl, I'm a carpenter. Because of my exquisite workmanship, I was called to make a good set of furniture for a rich family in the county seat. But I ran into robbers on the way. I couldn't do it, and almost lost my life..." When Pan Yong thought about that day, he regretted it too much. If he didn't want to earn the two taels of silver more, he wouldn't be what he is now.

"That's fine, I'll leave all the furniture work to you from now on, what about you, Sister Chen, what do you know?" Liu Qingcao got to know Pan Yong, and asked Chen Cuizhi again.

Chen Cuizhi lowered her head for a long while before answering Liu Qingcao's words in a low voice.

"I, I know a little needlework..."

"I heard you can still read and write?"

"Ah, yes, I know a little bit. I learned a little bit from my family when I was young." Chen Cuizhi looked a little flustered, lowered her head, and bit her lips tightly.

"Okay, let's eat." Liu Qingcao looked at her and knew that she had something to say.

"Girl, come face to face!"

The shopkeeper brought up the noodles. Liu Qingcao looked at the family of three and curled her lips. She didn't plan to ask more questions at this time, but she asked slowly when she got back.

Because the three of them hadn't had enough to eat for a long time, they looked at a large bowl of noodles and put it in front of them, swallowing their saliva unceasingly. Since the master was in front of them, the three of them dared not move their chopsticks for a long time.

"Eat, there are things to do after eating."

"Yes."

"Eat, safe." Chen Cuizhi handed the chopsticks to his son, patted his head, with a smile on his lips.

Liu Qingcao ate the noodles and observed the three of them. Although this family was in such a state of poverty, the way they ate did not have the voracious and petty manner of the country people. Even children eating food gave people the feeling of rich family children.

Liu Qingcao squinted her eyes and lowered her head to eat the noodles in the bowl.

After eating a bowl of pasta, the three of them walked less weakly. Liu Qingcao took Pan Yong to the medical clinic.

"Your leg needs to be taken care of, don't hurt it any more, your body is seriously damaged, and you need to take more supplements, and it will get better after about half a year." Yang Jingming took his pulse with a calm expression, and described his condition in detail. One informs.

After hearing this, Pan Yong lowered his eyes, and agreed softly, he is now a prostitute, so there is no need to support him, let alone nourish himself.

After hearing this, Liu Qingcao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the first batch of tiger bone wine has been brewed at home for a while, and it can just be used by Pan Yong. Tonic should be done slowly, and food tonic will be used later to replenish qi and blood. It's not impossible, as long as the person can still be cured, it will be useful if he is cured.

"Doctor Yang, give him some medicine to replenish qi and blood, and these two also show them if there is any serious problem."

Liu Qingcao motioned for Chen Cuizhi's mother and son to come over, and showed the doctor that although she was a nursing professional, she hadn't gone out for an internship, so she didn't have much experience.

During the time I have been here, I have been making money, and I have long neglected that I have such a half-hearted ability.

Thinking of staying here until buried in the soil, Liu Qingcao decided to have a lot of practice and consolidation in the future when she is free, otherwise it will be easy to get used to it and forget it after a long time.

"These two are a little weak, but it's not a serious problem. Eat and drink well, and rest for a few days." Yang Jingming took the pulse for a while, retracted his hand, and began to write to Pan Yong the remedy.

Liu Qingcao did not speak, but waited quietly, while Chen Cuizhi also stood aside, without saying a word, looking at the prescription written by Doctor Yang, the more she looked at it, the more uneasy she became!
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingcao asked after noticing her abnormality, taking two steps back.

"No, that's right, the medicine will be too expensive."

She saw the medicinal materials that Dr. Yang wrote on it, ginseng, angelica, atractylodes...

Everything is not cheap, she is afraid that their family has just stabilized, because the money for the medicine will be refunded...

"Let's see how much money you get. If it's too much, then think of another way." Liu Qingcao understood what Chen Cuizhi was thinking, and comforted her. Indeed, if the medicine is too expensive and exceeds her budget, she will make another one. planned.

After Yang Jingming finished writing the prescription, he raised his head, looked at the person in front of him, and wrote Zhang Fangzi again at his desk.

"There are two prescriptions, one is quicker to see, the medicine is not cheap, one set costs 45 taels of silver, and you can make up for it after taking four sets. This prescription is extremely slow in effect and takes a long time to take. It will take half a year, and a pair of three taels of silver."

"Thank you, doctor." Pan Yong took the prescription, and was in a daze, not daring to look directly at Liu Qingcao. This is a tonic, it's money.

45 two pairs?It's too expensive, alas!No way, who told me to choose them, now she only hopes that their role far exceeds the money spent.

"Doctor Yang, for three taels of silver medicine, grab ten doses first."

"Girl, no need, I'm fine." Seeing that Liu Qingcao was going to grab medicine for him, Pan Yong hurriedly stopped him.

"Girl, let's go back." Chen Cuizhi looked at Liu Qingcao pleadingly. She wanted her man's illness to be cured, but the cost was too high for them to afford.

"Okay, if you are sick, you can cure it, and you can work quickly when you are cured. I don't have much money now, so let's take this prescription first." Liu Qingcao didn't give them time to talk, took the prescription, Go straight to the pharmacy and give the prescription to the drug boy.

Soon, the ten sets of medicines were ready, and Liu Qingcao saw that the three of them were weak, so she carried the medicine bag and left the hospital.

Pan Yong and his wife followed behind with their children, both apprehensive and excited. Did they meet a good host?
Looking at the small, straight figure in front of her, Chen Cuizhi's eyes warmed up, and there was a hint of a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Shen Xiuniang, help me get three bolts of cotton cloth, a thin quilt, and three pairs of shoes that fit their feet."

Liu Qingcao said what she needed concisely, Shen Xiuniang looked at the direction Liu Qingcao was speaking, and was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized that she nodded slightly, turned around and went to fetch things for Liu Qingcao.

There were too many things, Chen Cuizhi wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Liu Qingcao, she didn't want to be the next one in a while.

But she couldn't take it by herself, so Xiuniang Shen was enthusiastic and called a woman to help her, and moved the things to the town.

The two old cows had already left, Liu Qingcao gave the money for the car, took the three of them with them, and got into the bullock cart from another village.

Along the way, the bullock cart was full of excitement, and some women, seeing Liu Qingcao bought a lot of good things, envied her and started chatting with her.

Liu Qingcao had nothing to do, took over the woman's conversation, chatted a few words, but mostly listened to their gossip and gossip.

Pan Yong's family lowered their heads and remained silent until they reached the place where Liu Qingcao lived, but they didn't open their mouths.

"Here we are, get out of the car." Liu Qingcao picked up the cloth and walked into the yard. Knowing that Liu Qingcao would not let her carry heavy things, Chen Cuizhi picked up light objects and followed.

Luo Shiyuan and the old man Niu were busy in the yard, seeing Liu Qingcao bringing someone in, he was puzzled.

Luo Shiyuan thought, maybe there is a flea coming out of Liu Qingcao's brain, would someone buy something like this?

"Brother Shiyuan, help me dry out the water in the yard and bring it into the shower room. I'll cook something delicious for you in a while."

Liu Qingcao put away her things and came out, touched the water basking in the sun, and looked at Luo Shiyuan beside her.

When Luo Shiyuan heard that it was delicious, he hurriedly carried the water into the shower room regardless of the work in hand.

"Go and wash first, put on clean clothes, and eat later." Liu Qingcao added the clothes to Chen Cuizhi.

"By the way, I don't need the clothes on your body. I will wear them here first. You will make a few sets out of the cloth you bought tomorrow, Sister Chen. After lunch, you will make out the quilt covers and wash them. Great, you can use it at night."

Looking at her, Chen Cuizhi was so moved, her eyes were flushed, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She was afraid that Liu Qingcao would make fun of her, so she quickly raised her sleeves and wiped them off, agreed in a low voice, and took the child to the bathroom.

"Brother Pan, if your legs are weak, just stand up, sit down for a while, the country people don't just give in to those vain rituals, as long as you do what you need to do well, I won't treat you badly.

During this period, your legs can’t move much, but it’s not a problem to stay every day. If you don’t tire your body, you can do light woodwork in the yard. There is no piece of furniture in the house you live in. If you are bored, just make small household items. "

"Yes, thank you for saving my life, girl, I will definitely do well."

Pan Yong had a sore nose. They really met a good person. This is a good thing that many people can't find with a lantern. It made their family meet.

He raised his eyes to look at the people in the yard again, and clenched his fists. He must get well quickly. Only when he is healthy can he really help the girl and repay this kindness.

Liu Qingcao walked to the kitchen. Although they ate a bowl of noodles on the street, they didn't have much to eat. It can only be said that it is feasible to fill their stomachs. If they want to eat enough, they can do it themselves.

An hour later, Liu Qingcao prepared the meal. Because there were three more people in poor health, Liu Qingcao specially fried two light dishes.

As soon as Luo Shiyuan came to the table, seeing the dishes on the table, he nodded in satisfaction and flattered him.

"Qingcao, you are a good person, you always count on your words."

"..., don't count, I'm afraid of being talked about all day long."

Liu Qingcao gave him a blank look, then turned around and let the three of them come over for dinner after taking a shower.

Chen Cuizhi was a little embarrassed, they were slaves now, it was against the rules to eat with their masters.

"Girl, we, we can't go to the table."

"..."

"How about this, let's eat like this for a few days, Brother Pan will make a table in a few days, let's sit separately."

Liu Qingcao didn't want to do this at first, but seeing the firmness in Chen Cuizhi's eyes, she knew that if she didn't do this, she would not be able to serve at the table. In just half a day, she found that this woman was stubborn and had very strict rules.

"Okay, girl."

Chen Cuizhi supported Pan Yong and sat on the stool. When he saw the food on the table clearly, his pupils widened.

Well, the food at this girl's house is better than that of her mother-in-law in the county!

"Hurry up, or you'll be finished after a while." Seeing people in a daze, Liu Qingcao became annoyed and urged. It seems that it's right to share a table with them, otherwise they won't even be able to eat two bites of food in the future, and they will give them to them. Finished.

Chen Cuizhi looked at the food on the table, and it disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. She was shocked, but she quickly regained her senses and started eating.

It's been a long time since their family had eaten such a delicious meal, maybe half a year.

Chen Cuizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief while eating, it's okay, God bless, half a year of suffering can be exchanged for today's peace, it's worth it.

"Ping An, eat slowly, what mother told you, have you forgotten?"

Chen Cuizhi patted Pan Ping'an's back lightly, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

Pan Ping'an looked at her mother, pursed his lips, felt aggrieved, but still resisted crying, and slowly ate the food in the bowl.

Liu Qingcao caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and glanced at Chen Cuizhi in surprise. She didn't want to understand. It stands to reason that such a woman should not be reduced to the point of prostitution.

Forget it, let's ask more carefully after eating.
