The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 20 The First Pot of Gold
Originally, Su Banxi planned to go to Sun Huai's house today to inquire about Zhang's infertility and the medicinal materials she needed, and then go to the mountain with Su Wen, but now all plans are in vain, and she Even if she wanted to run to the mountains at this time, she was afraid that Zhao Shi and Su Shi would be worried, so she could only walk home slowly.

Su Banxi sighed and stopped, stood on the spot and turned around, staring peacefully at the young man who was covered in mud all over his body. His thin body was covered in clothes of colorless fabric, and his face was also The black and white looks a little funny, but there is only a pair of eyes that are shining and pure. It is not the first time for Su Banxi to see these eyes, but she has never seen them face to face, and she can't help but feel moved.

The young man didn't expect Su Banxi to turn around suddenly, he was frightened and froze on the spot, he didn't dare to move, a little mist appeared from the corner of his eyes, and he looked at him walking towards him with big watery eyes. Su Banxi, who came over, tugged at his clothes with dirty fingers, as if he was trying to suppress something, making his thin and dirty body tremble even more.

Su Banxi also saw the young man's fear, she was puzzled but still stood still, first glanced at the surrounding villagers from the corner of her eyes, and saw that they were all staring at them with great interest, their eyes were not good, but they were not bad, like It's laughing and it seems to be pitying something.

Suddenly squinting at the young man with an unusually thin body in front of him, Su Banxi could clearly see her reflection in those misty eyes, and naturally saw the young man's strange fear and vigilance, so he pursed his lips. He swallowed the questioning words, glanced at the young man again, turned around and left quickly, and naturally did not hear the words of the villagers behind him teasing the young man, and the tears rolling down from the young man's eyes were not malicious. After washing off the mud on his face, which made the face blurry, he ran quickly, and the villagers behind him laughed in good faith.

Mrs. Zhao was "clucking" to lead the hens out of the coop to eat. Su Banxi opened the door and called to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, I'm back."

Mrs. Zhao gave a pause for throwing the chicken food, and then looked at Su Banxi who went to the kitchen to break open the mint powder to drink in doubt, and then looked at the shadow of Su Wen behind him. The clucking hen didn't care about it: "What happened to Xiaoxi? Where's your brother?"

Su Banxi took a sip of the cool mint water, and then she looked at Zhao Shi who was in a hurry, "If you want to tell me something, it seems that Uncle Zhu drowned and almost died. Come back, brother is there to help, mother, don't worry, I'm a little tired, mother, I'll go to rest first."

The dizzy and heavy head made Su Banxi's face even more ugly. Seeing her face so ugly, Mrs. Zhao couldn't drag Su Banxi even if there were many things she wanted to ask, so she had to send her back to the room and watch her lie down. Then he looked anxious and went to talk to Su Shi, and then drove the old hens running around in the yard back to the chicken coop to lock them up. Then he washed his hands and closed the yard door to Sun Huai's house.

Su Banxi was extremely tired today, she fell into a drowsy sleep as soon as she lay down on the kang, completely unaware of what happened outside, when she woke up, there was a lot of noise in her yard, which made her head explode, but I don't want to lose my temper, so I simply cleaned up and opened the door to go out.

"I said his aunt, what are you doing? My Xiaoxi should do what she should. What do you mean by sending money here?" Zhao's slightly angry voice sounded, and Su Wen seemed to come back only in the afternoon. At home, sitting silently on the side and peeling the bamboo slices with a knife, Su Banxi stared at the bamboo slices in Su Wen's hand in a daze, until Aunt Zhu's loud voice called her god back.

Aunt Zhu habitually chattered a few words at first, and finally stuffed a small piece of broken silver into Su Banxi's hand, not allowing Su Banxi to slip it back, and said with a sullen face: "Girl, Auntie knows you have a good heart, but let's listen to what Auntie has to say first." Finish, you are deciding whether you want the money. If you hadn’t happened to go to Old Man Sun’s place today, I’m afraid my family would be buried in the soil. That would allow me to give you the money. Your family is also in trouble. If you don’t have a bed, your mother and brother will be responsible for all the hard work at home, and you can’t do without a subsidy, and you don’t have to accept the rest, but you must accept this money, don’t think it’s too little.”

Su Banxi's eyelashes drooped down, she smiled lightly, and held the piece of broken silver in her hand: "Then Aunt Zhu, Banxi is not welcome, take the egg and the piece of bacon back to Uncle Zhu to make up for it." It’s a supplement, but you have to wait for Uncle Zhu’s throat to heal before taking it. During this period, it’s best to drink more pear juice and porridge to moisten your throat, or go to my master and ask him to prescribe a prescription for soothing your throat. Could be better."

Aunt Zhu smiled heartily, "You are really a girl, by the way, what is the name of the fan you told Auntie today, give...Auntie some..." Aunt Zhu was a little embarrassed when it came to the latter, she I also know that my breath is a bit smelly, and she also gargles with coarse salt every day, and her family scolds her for waste, but the bad breath still can't be changed, which makes her a headache.

Su Banxi smiled, went into the kitchen and gave the pack of mint powder to Aunt Zhu, Aunt Zhu took it awkwardly, and talked to Su Banxi for a while, looking at her face in the afterglow of the setting sun, she was still a little ugly, so she would not disturb her It was Su Banxi, Mrs. Zhao sent Aunt Zhu out and then turned around to look at Su Banxi, opened her mouth, and finally said: "Xiaoxi, the food is still hot in the kitchen, eat it while it's hot, you don't feel well If you need any medicine, ask your brother to go to Sun Langzhong to grab a pair and drink it. Seeing that you have been sick and hurt your brain recently, mother has not given you a good remedy. Tomorrow we will kill an old hen and make soup for you drink!"

"Mother, there is no need to butcher the old hen. With my current body, I can't drink it at all, and neither can dad. I told my brother last time. Let's go to town tomorrow, mother. I want to buy some traditional Chinese medicine tools and come back. Buy something you can use at home." Su Banxi squinted her eyes, with a smile on her face, her seemingly gentle words left no room for anyone to refute, so she made the decision.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Banxi with a helpless smile, and raised her hand to brush her hanging hair away, "You can buy whatever you want, after all, this is the first money you earn, and you have everything at home, so you don't need to buy it." , mother is not free tomorrow, let your brother go with you!"
