The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 21 One-sided Encounter

Tunjiawan is located in a relatively secluded mountain depression, at least an hour and a half walk from Yuning Town. Su Banxi has never walked such a long road except for going to the countryside with the medical team in his previous life, climbing mountains and crossing rivers. The dirt road was full of bits and pieces of crushed pebbles, and the thin-soled embroidered shoes hurt Su Banxi's soles every time she took a step.

They came out of the house at Maoshi, the sun in the east had already risen so high that it hurt Su Banxi's eyes so much, she couldn't help blocking it with her hands, Su Wen, who was walking beside her, saw it, so she took a step behind and walked to Su Banxi's right, tall Su Banxi's body blocked the dazzling bright light for Su Banxi, and Su Banxi breathed a sigh of relief.

But it didn't help much. Su Banxi's forehead was dripping with sweat after a short while, her pale cheeks blushed a little, and her breathing gradually became short of breath. Finally, she stopped slowly and stood there to breathe, and then Pupils narrowed, looked at Su Wen who was squatting in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and laid down on Su Wen's back without hesitation, "Brother, if you are tired, let me down and walk by myself Bar!"

Su Wen didn't answer, or maybe it was because Su Banxi didn't hear it. At the beginning, Su Banxi could still look at the lush flowers and trees around him, but they became sickly due to the scorching sun, but as time went by and the road was uneven Diandi quickly buried his face on Su Wen's back and fell asleep.

Su Wen felt Su Banxi's clear and long breathing, and involuntarily slowed down, and tried his best to walk on the flat ground without bumping Su Banxi, who was asleep on his back.

Yuning Town is bustling with people, and the people come and go bustlingly. There is a strong atmosphere of ancient style everywhere, bluestone bricks and tiles, and the city wall at least six meters high is light gray. There are three red-bordered buildings in Yuning Town hanging above it. The font looks very grand and reveals its own gentleness.

Su Banxi yawned and squinted her eyes to look blankly. Seeing that she woke up, Su Wen put her down and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The blush on her face was from tiredness or from the sun. After taking a breath, he said to Su Banxi: "Let's go quickly, finish shopping early and go back early, so as not to be inconvenient on the way back at night. Many animals come out to look for food at night."

Su Banxi said oh and didn't say much, walked into the town beside Su Wen, the people passing by and the hawkers around the alley made Su Banxi feel a little novel, but the category of stalls here is daily necessities , porcelain tea sets, sewing kits, silk flower bead ropes, dry goods and food have to be bought in another street.

"Brother, let's go buy some rice first! Then we go to buy a small medicine pestle, medicine mortar, medicine grinder, steelyard, because we don't know how much it will cost, so let's go buy some grain first." Su Banxi said to Su Wen, with a cold expression on his face , but you can feel her excitement and joy from her tone.

Seeing Su Banxi's happy look, Su Wen curled his lips, nodded, and took Su Banxi to another street, while the other hand touched the copper plate on his chest, which was given to him by Su Shi this morning. , asked him to buy something for Su Banxi, and only said that he was an older brother and had to love and protect his younger sister. Su Wen didn't have any resentment or dissatisfaction with this, but rather agreed with Su Shi's words. The younger sister was born to be protected by the older brother .

Rice is 170 Wen a catty, white flour is [-] Wen a catty, after much deliberation, Su Banxi decides to buy [-] Jin of rice and white flour, a total of [-] and [-] Wen. Su Wen followed behind Su Banxi with the rice noodles in the smiling fat face of the shopkeeper. , Next, Su Banxi bought star anise, coarse salt, and sesame oil. When she found that there were peppers, she immediately bought a lot. Fortunately, the prices are cheap now, and it only cost Su Banxi a few tens of pennies to buy so many things.

When passing by the pork stall, Su Banxi stopped, thought about it, and bought pork leg and a few meat bones. The butcher saw that Su Banxi bought a lot, so he waved the pig's heart as well. After touching Su Banxi, Su Banxi naturally took it with a smile. Su Wen nunu mouthed it several times but never said anything. He just silently snatched the pork from Su Banxi's hand into his own. Su Banxi couldn't compete with Su Wen, so he had to let Su Wen go.

Because no one sells the pestle, mortar, and roller that Su Banxi wanted to buy, Su Banxi went to the pharmacy to try her luck, but because the price was too high, Su Banxi couldn't afford it, so she bought it for five yuan under the slightly contemptuous gaze of the drug boy. White peony root and cornus, on the way back, I couldn’t help feeling a little downcast. When Su Wen asked Su Banxi what he liked, Su Banxi didn’t pay attention to Su Wen’s expression, and casually mentioned the equipment needed to grind Chinese medicine, making Su Wen’s mouth twitch , silently bowed his head and didn't make a sound, Su Banxi didn't take it to heart.

When the shopping was done, it was already in the middle of the day. The two brothers and sisters were so hungry that they finally found a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles. Su Wen rushed to pay for the noodles. Talking, I calculated that I have bought all the things that should be bought, and I have almost used up the copper plates on my body. It is time to go back, but there are so many things that Su Wen alone can't finish, and her own physical strength can't keep up. On the way, I had no choice but to hire a bullock cart with thirty yuan, which staggered and bumped out of the city gate.

"Ning fool, what are you looking at, hehe, if you don't finish your work today, you won't have anything to eat." A skinny young man covered in oil smeared Ning Chen, who was thin and had been looking in the direction of the city gate, Discourse ridicule.

Ning Chen still didn't react much, his face seemed to be dirty all the time, making people lose sight of his complete facial features, his eyes were dimmed from the moment they were bright, and he patted his shoulder with grievance. The painful boy turned around and wanted to run, but someone grabbed him by the collar, "Stinky boy, if you want to run again, I will break your leg, if it's not because you are me For my brother-in-law’s sake, I kicked you out a long time ago, you wandered around without doing any work all day, why are you still standing here, go to work, you have nothing to do, you are really a bunch of annoying brats.”

Ning Chen bit his lip and finally followed behind the fat man with his head down. The young man held back his anger, but he also knew the situation, so he patted Ning Chen on the back to tell him not to make trouble and finish the work early Go home early, but it's a pity that Ning Chen is a well-known fool in Tunjiawan, not to mention the meaning of the boy patting his back, he didn't even understand what the man said, only thinking about Su Banxi he just saw!
