A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 33
Although she was very reluctant to part with the fifty cents, Bai Xia cherished her body even more, so she obediently stretched out her hand over it.

In such a hot weather, Dr. Xie's fingertips felt a little cold. He pressed on Bai Xia's slender wrist. At first, he still had a smile on his face, but his face slowly sank later, and his fingertips also slightly moved. Pressed down.

Bai Xia's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that she is suffering from some terminal illness?
"the other hand"

Doctor Xie held it for a long time, then asked Bai Xia to change her hand, and asked her to open her mouth to look at the coating on her tongue.

After reading it, he also didn't say a word, silently picked up a pen and wrote the prescription, then held the two prescriptions in his hands, and said to Bai Xia: "Little girl, I'd like to thank you for a hundred coins."

Bai Xia's heart was agitated, and she couldn't help asking: "Doctor, do I have some terminal illness?"

Your face is a bit scary.

Dr. Xie was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly: "Ah, it's nothing serious, you're still young, you can eat as much as you can in the future, it's not a big problem if you're weak."

is it?

Why am I so unbelievable?

And no matter how you look at it, I feel that Dr. Xie's smile is a bit creepy.

Much like modern doctors who comfort cancer patients.

But people and doctors have said that, so it's not good to continue to ask, I saw Bai Xia took out his purse in pain, and counted one by one in his hand.

Seeing the little girl seriously counting the copper coins, Dr. Xie was a little surprised, one hundred cash, not one penny more, not one penny short.

Of course, he wasn't afraid that Bai Xia had given less money, but was a little surprised. It looked like a little girl from the countryside, and she was not too old, so she counted well.

Bai Xia gave the money, Dr. Xie didn't say much, and handed over both prescriptions.

"Go ahead and grab the medicine"

As he spoke, he put all the copper coins into his sleeve pocket.

Bai Xia took a deep breath, entering this pharmacy is like entering a hospital in Hyundai, no matter what the disease is, if you don't spend hundreds of dollars, you won't be able to get out.

But in order to reserve enough medicinal materials, she could only endure the pain.

I grabbed the medicine from the clerk, and two pieces of medicine cost [-] Wen. After taking the medicine, she only had a few hundred Wen left in her hand.

She threw the medicine into the back basket, and seeing the learning words in the transformation pool, and the energy value returning to about [-], Bai Xia felt that she had come back to life.

I was about to go shopping again when I suddenly heard a grunt.

Li Xiuyuan covered his stomach with a blushing face, seeing Bai Xia looking at him, couldn't help explaining: "I, I'm not hungry"

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled again.

Li Xiuyuan's face turned even redder.

This stomach is not up to snuff at all.

And as if infected, Bai Xia's stomach was also bulging.

She couldn't help spreading her hands, "Well, you're not hungry, I'm hungry"

After speaking, he looked around, and then frowned.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there were more people around here, and those refugees who were originally concentrated outside the town poured in, and some even carried bowls and begged directly on the side of the road.

"Let's go shopping"

After finishing speaking, Bai Xia took Li Xiuyuan's hand and walked towards the residential area of ​​the town.

Naturally, there are ordinary people living in the town, and they usually make a living by doing small businesses or working in shops.

They do not rely on the fields to live, so there is no grain tax, but they still have to pay some tribute to the government every month. The grain in the field has not been recovered, and the life of the farmers is difficult, and the life of these small vendors is even more difficult.

But the only good thing is that there are many wells in the town, and the water source is more abundant than that of other villages. When the water supply in each village started to cut off, the people in Wu Town lived a pretty good life.

Of course, it is precisely because they have no land, so in addition to saving some of the money they earn on weekdays, they will buy some grain and store it, even if it is not too much, but there will still be a hundred catties.

When Bai Xia came to the alley, he didn't knock on the door blindly, but asked a woman who was selling a stall by the side of the road.

Ask the neighbors in this neighborhood who is the most difficult to get along with and who is the best to get along with.

Of course, the woman wouldn't say it easily, but after Bai Xia paid ten cents as a reward, she told all the neighbors around the alley, and after getting the news she wanted, Bai Xia Xia was not in a hurry, but instead asked, "Hey, ma'am, do businessmen from outside our town often come in to do business?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if wondering how Bai Xia knew, and then said: "There are quite a few businessmen from outside, but that was all about ten days ago. After the rain, the crops in the field all died of drought, officer... After that, no businessmen from outside came in."

"Without the merchants outside to transport rice and grain, we all will hardly be able to eat."

Bai Xia knew that she was trying to say that the government didn't want Bi Yan to collect grain taxes in advance and scrape the common people clean.

If there is nothing to earn, those businessmen will naturally stop coming.

After the woman sighed a few words, she pretended to be interested and asked: "Then where are the businessmen who came to us before?"

The woman didn't have much business either, seeing that Bai Xia had given her money and no one had talked to her for too long, she simply said: "Hey, there aren't many of them, there are some everywhere, those people, Their minds are very dark, I heard that they bring all the things that they can’t sell in their land, and no one wants them, and then bring them to us, and sell them at high prices.”

"Then someone bought it?" Bai Xia pretended to be surprised.

"Why not? No matter what they don't want in their territory, it's also a rare commodity here, but people are scrambling for it."

The reason why rare goods can live.

Bai Xia nodded inwardly, and at the same time imagined the possibility of relying on the transformation pool to do business.

After thinking about it, I gave up. The children of merchants cannot take the imperial examination, and the families of scholars cannot do business.

If it's just cutting two bamboos on the mountain and weaving a few straw hats to sell as before, it's not a business.

Don't think about anything else.

"Ma'am, have you seen those people?"

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Are they the same as us? Are there any particularly tall?"

"Indeed, there are. Some come from the north. I heard that they seem to be from Youzhou. The merchants there are tall and big, and their bones are stronger than ours. If you punch them down, you may kill a cow."

"Ah, wouldn't these people make trouble? Who can beat them?"

"That's not true. He's a businessman, not a bandit. How could he cause trouble?"

"But I heard that these people still buy people secretly. I also heard that they buy married and widowed women, and they don't know what they are buying for." Bai Xia lowered her voice when she was listening. Li Xiuyuan, who was so bored with the two women's gossip, cheered up immediately after hearing Bai Xia's words.

His hands were also tightly clenched into fists, his lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at the woman nervously, hoping to find out something from her.

Although Bai Xia didn't tell him about his mother being sold, but he heard that a businessman bought a married and widowed woman, such an obvious feature, with his intelligence, there is nothing unexpected.
