Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 23 Disposal
Inside, Wen Tai happened to come out of the kitchen with hot porridge, and when he heard the sound, his feet, which were originally turned towards the room, abruptly turned in the same direction.

The courtyard door opened from the inside with a creak, and seeing a gentleman in brocade clothes standing outside, Wen Tai was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter with this gentleman?"

Lu Yuancheng glanced behind him, and said anxiously: "Wen Shu, is Miss Wen here?"

Hearing him call his daughter directly, Wen Tai frowned slightly, and instead of answering, asked, "What's the matter with your lord looking for your little girl?"

Inside the room, Wen Shu, who was thinking about the weird thing, froze suddenly when he heard the sound.

this sound.
My God, why is he here!

Wen Shu was so shocked that his face turned pale. He took the coat on the bedside and hurriedly put it on. While listening carefully to the movement outside, he secretly prayed that he must not come to collect debts!

Speaking of which, although they had signed an IOU between them and stated the time limit for repayment, they hadn't made it clear how to pay it, whether it would be paid monthly or annually, so she was very afraid that someone outside would come to collect the debt.

Lu Yuancheng withdrew his gaze, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Mrs. Wen is terminally ill. I know a doctor with superb medical skills who may be able to help."

"How does this gentleman know the little girl? How did he know that the little girl is sick?" Wen Tai frowned slightly, for fear that Wen Shu was young and ignorant, and would provoke some swingers outside.

Hearing this, Wen Shu, who sneaked to the door anxiously, raised his heart violently, fearing that Lu Yuancheng would reveal the debt, so he jumped out first before he could open his mouth.

"Oh, it's Mr. Lu, why did you come to our poor place today?"

While speaking, she winked anxiously at Lu Yuancheng, with some pleading on her face, the meaning was obvious
Lu Yuancheng ignored her at all, but seeing her alive and well, he knew that she should be fine, so he snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Just as Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, her father turned his head and stared at her closely, "Who was that man just now? You called him Sir, and when did you meet?"

Wen Shu stopped immediately, then looked at the porridge in his hand, and said pitifully, "Father, I'm so hungry, can we talk while drinking the porridge."

After half a cup of tea, Wen Shu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Wen Tai took the empty bowl in her hand, "In other words, Master Lu is a gracious person who repays his kindness. You just helped him with such trivial things, but he can still remember them all the time, and even came to see him specially. you."

"Yeah, it's not about repaying your kindness." Wen Shu's words almost popped out from between his teeth.

Knowing how to repay her kindness made her bear a huge debt of fifty pennies!
As long as she thought of that fifty-count IOU, her whole heart ached.

Now that I think about it, she shouldn't have written down the IOU so happily that day, and she had to work harder to make the arrears less, how could he say how much is how much.

Hey, what a mistake, what a mistake!
"Although you are awake now, Dad is still a little worried. In this case, you fall asleep first, and Dad will ask a doctor to take your pulse."

After hearing this, Wen Shu hurriedly stopped him: ""No need, Dad, I'm already healed now, so why spend that money. "As she said, she thought about what her father said about hiring doctors all over Chengbei last night, and couldn't help but pause: "It cost a lot of money to hire a doctor for me last night, right? "

Wen Tai looked at her and said: "The money is gone, as long as you can wake up safely, by the way, what happened last night, you passed out so well, and this foot"

Wen Tai couldn't figure out why he was injured all over after sleeping in the middle of the night.

Speaking of this, Wen Shu recalled that thrilling moment and told the truth.

"...There were stones all over the ground. I was only thinking about running for my life, and I didn't have time to move the heels of my shoes. The shoes fell off halfway, and my feet were worn like this."

Wen Tai frowned when he heard that, "What you said is true, is there really such a scary monster in that box?"

"Father, all my foot injuries are here, you still don't want to believe it." Wen Shu was a little annoyed.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that this fact is a bit unbelievable."

"It's really unbelievable." Wen Shu nodded: "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it."

After all, she suddenly remembered the box, and couldn't help looking at the ground, but there was no iron box on the ground at this time.

"Dad, where's the box?" she asked.

Wen Tai said: "I put the box in the cabinet. Now that I heard what you said, I feel that this box is probably not a good thing, and this time you are very sick. Several doctors said that you have not suffered any serious injuries. But I can’t wake up, now that I think about it, I’m afraid it has something to do with it, there might be some kind of evil here, I think it’s better to throw it away for safety’s sake.”

Wen Shu agrees with his idea very much, but
"Throw it away, it is indeed necessary to throw it away, but this box is weird, if you throw it away at will, and let someone who doesn't know it pick it up and get a glimpse of what's going on here, wouldn't it be another disaster."

Wen Tai nodded: "Then what do you say?"

Wen Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Well, isn't it said that fire can conquer evil? Why don't we throw this box into the stove and burn it for seven to seven days, and then take it out and throw it away."

Wen Tai thought about it, and felt that it was feasible, so he took the box and went to the kitchen.

At this time, the wind and snow outside the house gradually stopped, and there was even a glimmer of light in the gloomy sky.

Wen Shu drank the medicine for dispelling wind and cold, and then fell into a drowsy sleep
This time there were no strange tones and boundless darkness in the dream again, she was breathing a sigh of relief, when she felt that the method worked, Lu Yuancheng's face suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Repay the money!" The other party stared at her coldly with a cold face.

In the dream, Wen Shu was holding his breath, but now he hit the muzzle of the gun, and immediately punched it.

Wen Tai, who passed by the window, saw the girl who was restless sleeping inside, shaking her fists and kicking her legs, shook her head helplessly and went in to tuck her in the quilt again.

Three days later, it was clear after the snow.

Wen Shu's foot injury has almost healed after three days of recuperation. The wound has scabbed over, and it doesn't hurt much when walking normally.

The first thing she thought about after moving was to make money.

When she couldn't get out of bed these few days, she kept thinking about how to make money quickly, but unfortunately, after thinking about it later, she really had no other way except to make food.

And yesterday, while chatting with her father, I accidentally learned that in order to hire a doctor for her that night, his father spent the only five pennies left in the family, which also included the cost of repairing the shop up front.

After several months of repairs, the front shop is basically completed. The large framework such as the foundation and the four walls have been completed, except for the roof, doors and windows.

If you hire three or five carpenters to do it together, it will only take two or three days, but now that all the money is spent on her, the money for hiring people is gone, so her father has to do it slowly by himself, just like this , Another half a month of work has to be delayed.

Half a month's work is enough for her father to make two sets of birthday materials. If she sells it immediately, it will cost three pennies. Now that the two are discounted, the eight pennies are gone.
