Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 3 We Are One Family
Seven or eight days later, after the doctor Huang from the village checked Chu Ci's pulse, he finally announced that his medicinal soup could be stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there are no precious medicinal materials in it, tens of cash per day for medicine is still indispensable.The family's money is almost spent for Chu Ci's imperial examinations, and it is just waiting for him to bring some income to the family after he leaps into the dragon gate this year.
But no one expected this to happen again. In order to bring Chu Ci back for treatment, they sold all the family's fields in exchange for his life.
The last crop of corn was the last thing they could get from the field.
Seeing that Chu Ci is a scholar, Dr. Huang gave them the medicine on credit these days, but today he had to settle the account no matter what.
While Dr. Huang was talking to Chu Guang outside, Mrs. Chu entered her room and took out a cloth bag.She stroked the cloth bag several times before handing it to Doctor Huang.
"Old sister-in-law, this..."
"Take it. I know that you are the cheapest medicine for us. Now that Xiaoer is healed, we have nothing to thank."
Doctor Huang wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say anything, he sighed and left.
Chu Ci was very curious about what was in the cloth bag and why everyone looked helpless.
He quietly pulled Chu Yuan into the room, "Xiao Yuan, what's in grandma's bag?"
Chu Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, but grandma often takes it out to play at night, and she said it was given to her by grandpa."
As soon as Chu Ci heard it, she understood that it was probably a token of love given to her by Chu Ci's father, which made her so reluctant.
Chu Ci made a decision in his heart. He feels that his body has recovered now, and it's time to do something for the family.
Chu Ci was born in a scholarly family, and his grandparents, parents, and mothers are both educated people.His grandparents are from the Institute of Paleographs, and his parents are archaeologists, so they don't stay at home for a few days all year round.
Perhaps it is because of their high level of cultural knowledge, they adhere to the practice of friendship between gentlemen, and when the family gets together, they also exchange some academic knowledge.
Chu Ci graduated from the Department of Literature of B University. It seemed to them irrational behavior not to continue his studies but to choose to be a high school Chinese teacher, but they respected his choice.
Chu Ci was even more frustrated. In fact, he would rather his family could yell at him than maintain this cold family relationship.
He didn't know how his family would react when he was notified of his death, but he knew that this pain would not overwhelm them, and they would immediately clean up and continue to devote themselves to their research.
During the few days here, he experienced the happiness of an ordinary family. Although he was poor, he would sit together and say a few heart-warming words every day, with warm concern in it.
He didn't know if it was because he accepted the original owner's memory or something, anyway, he was able to accept this family well now.
"Mom, I want to go to town tomorrow."
"In the town?" Mrs. Chu glanced at him, "Yes, your paper and ink sticks are almost used up. I'll ask your elder brother to borrow some money."
"No mother, I didn't go to buy that." Chu Ci hurriedly stopped her, he knew that the family had no money, and if he went to ask for it from his elder brother, he would probably have to ask for his sister-in-law's dowry.
His sister-in-law was a taciturn woman, not very talkative, but quick in her work and kind-hearted.
Aunt Chu was silent for a while, "Oh, mother, I'm sorry."
"Mother, I'm the one who's sorry for you and elder brother. I've made you worry about it these days, and I'll take care of the family with you in the future," Chu Ci said.
Aunt Chu wiped away her tears, feeling that the child had become a little more sensible after going through the field of life and death.
Chu Guang who was outside the house also sighed lowly. He was very embarrassed when he heard his mother said that he wanted to ask him for money, because he had no money with him.Xiuniang did have them, but a man couldn't support his family and had to use his wife's dowry money to subsidize his younger brother, and he felt very sorry.
But his younger brother's words also made him feel sad, the eldest brother is like a father, his father died early, and his elder brother is useless...
Early the next morning, after Chuci had breakfast, he said goodbye to his family. Before leaving, his sister-in-law stopped him, "Uncle, wait a minute."
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Do you want me to take something to sell in the market?" Chuci found that his sister-in-law would embroider some small things in her spare time, and thought she wanted him to bring them to the market to sell.
"No," his sister-in-law wiped her hands, and then took out a small dime of silver from her sleeve, which was black, black and yellow, about two cents in appearance. "You can use these to buy things. Scholars need paper and ink."
Chu Ci stared fixedly at his sister-in-law, and took a while to take the money, holding it tightly in the palm of his hand, causing pain in the palm of his hand.Chu Ci bowed to her and saluted, "Brother and sister-in-law's kindness, Ci will be engraved in my heart."
Shen Xiuniang looked very flustered, she quickly called out Chu Ci, "Don't dare to do this, we are a family."
Chu Ci smiled, "Well, the whole family. Sister-in-law, I'm leaving."
Shen Xiuniang watched Chu Ci's back go further and further away, and she also felt that this little uncle seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
As Chu Ci walked on the road, villagers greeted him along the way.They are all from the same village, and no one knows that Chu Ci has been smart since he was a child, so there is no need to cheat at all.But it's just that the luck is relatively poor. It seems that the common people are better off farming honestly...
After leaving the village, there is a section of mountain road with mountains on both sides, not too high, but not dangerous.Some trees on the mountain are shedding their leaves, laying a thick layer of golden carpet on this mountain road, which looks very beautiful.
Chuci thought, if there was such a way in modern times, those little girls would definitely take pictures with their mobile phones, and everyone would be able to post Jiugongge in their circle of friends.But in ancient times, this was a very common scene, and pedestrians in a hurry would not look down at the road at all.
Right now, he is still a little leisurely, but if he can't find a job to solve the family's predicament, he probably won't be able to stop and appreciate these things in the future.
Chu Ci was walking, when suddenly a black animal with long fangs grew down from the mountain, and it seemed to be desperately arching towards Chu Ci.
Chu Ci was frightened all of a sudden, he is a frail scholar, he was not proficient in military boxing during the military training, so it is too difficult for him to fight wild boars?
Fortunately, his legs were not frightened, and he knew to dodge to the side, otherwise the wild boar would really hit him.
But this avoidance made the wild boar find him, turned his head around, and ran towards Chu Ci again.
My life is over!Chu Ci had no choice but to close his eyes because he couldn't bear to look directly at his own death.
Suddenly, some warm liquid hit his face, and Chu Ci's face turned black instantly, right? If you die, you will die. What does it mean to urinate?
Chu Ci wiped his face and opened his eyes, only to find that the ugly wild boar was lying on the ground, with a long knife cut on its neck, and blood was gushing out.
A young man dressed as a hunter and wrapped in animal skins was standing next to the wild boar with a big knife, looking at Chu Ci curiously.
"Thank you righteous man for saving me." Chu Ci quickly saluted, if it wasn't for this person, he would have lost his life here today.
"Hahaha, you are Chu Xiucai, right? I said that you scholars are very polite. Thank you, I drove down this pig." This Orion was a cheerful person, and immediately grinned and laughed.
"How can you drive the pig to the road? What if it's not a middle-aged man like me, but some old and young people?" Chu Ci was very angry.
"Uh, didn't your village chief tell you? Didn't he ask us to kill wild boars today? This road seems to be blocked." Orion scratched his head, looking a little at a loss.
"..." Chu Ci sighed in his heart, no wonder everyone else walked to the side path just now, he also wondered why everyone likes the muddy path, it turned out to be the reason.
"I'm sorry brother, but I killed the wild boar, and you were not injured, so we've evened out this matter."
Chu Ci looked at him, he was probably a bold and informal person, so he nodded immediately to indicate that it was okay.
Although there are no precious medicinal materials in it, tens of cash per day for medicine is still indispensable.The family's money is almost spent for Chu Ci's imperial examinations, and it is just waiting for him to bring some income to the family after he leaps into the dragon gate this year.
