Chapter 134 It is the money to buy life

Shui Zheran stood up and opened the door. A soldier with a sinister face came in and looked around, then opened the portrait in his hand and compared it with Shui Zheran.

He said to himself, "It looks a bit like it."

Shui Zheran still didn't understand anything, so he took out a money bag with about a hundred coins in it. He stuffed it into the man's hand and said with a smile: "What does it look like? We are villagers in Ruoshui Village, helping the villagers to buy it."

We have road guides for winter supplies."

The officers and soldiers weighed the money bags and seemed dissatisfied.

Shui Zheran immediately took out the road guide and said, "This is the road guide written by the county master himself."

Surprise appeared on the faces of the officers and soldiers. They took it, glanced at it, and said, "You are not allowed to run around at night. We are catching fugitives recently."

"Yes, yes, we will go back to the village tomorrow." Shui Zheran nodded.

"Well, let's go!" The group of people knocked on the next door.

Su Qin said angrily: "Isn't this an open robbery?"

Shui Zheran patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? All kinds of gods and ghosts have come out to make some money. It's better to spend some money to avoid disasters than to be caught and tortured."

Shui Ling agreed, "That's right, I'll go shopping tomorrow morning and go back in the afternoon."

Big cities are prosperous, but there are many local snakes. Small places are still comfortable.

Shui Zheran sighed, feeling as if a tiger had fallen into a trap.

The three of them took a shower and rested. They got up in the morning and had a quick bite before going shopping.

When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, they found that there was a seal directly posted here. The three of them looked at the seal for a long time with their necks raised.

If iron control is so strict, the situation must be bad.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, they went to the medicine shop and spent more than a hundred taels of silver. Su Qin felt depressed, as if they thought they had a lot of money and couldn't help spending it.

Then came the grain store. I looked around but didn’t buy anything. It was too expensive, more than twice as expensive as in the county.

Finally, we arrived at the livestock market. There were horse sellers here, so there were many second-hand carriages for sale.

The three of them took a fancy to a car that was red in color and so dark that it was hard to tell what kind of wood it was, but it looked very thick.

The seller of the carriage was an old man. He squatted on the ground with a sad face, his hands in his sleeves and shivering.

Shui Zheran asked: "Uncle, how should I sell this car?"

The old man didn't even raise his head and said feebly: "Ten taels of silver."

Now that Shui Zheran knew that ten taels of silver could feed a family of five in the county for three years, he felt a little reluctant to buy it.

But this car is the only one that looks sturdy and has a big cabin, so I feel a bit reluctant to part with it.

The old man sighed, "My son drove a carriage to Wang Yuanwai's house, but was trampled to death by a frightened horse. They lost the carriage and said it could be sold for a hundred taels, but now no one has bought the ten taels."

Shui Zheran thought for a while and looked at Shui Ling, "Do you want to buy it?"

Shui Ling nodded, "Go ahead and buy it." It doesn't hurt to lose ten taels in his family, but these ten taels should be the old man's courage to live.

"Okay, I bought it." Shui Zheran took out the money.

The old man said: "Let's go over there and make a certificate."

The three of them were a little confused. When they were watching TV, didn't they say that everything was over once the money was paid? Didn't they have to testify when buying livestock?

When we arrived at the official registration office, the recording officer was a young man in his twenties. He said: "Sold? How much did it cost? My aunt is waiting for the money to treat her illness."

The uncle sighed, "I sold them for ten taels of silver. They are good people."

"Okay, wait until I get off." The young man pulled out a picture of a carriage and said, "You just need to take your fingerprints, but you have to pay a transfer fee of one hundred coins."

The uncle said: "I will hand it over."

Shui Zheran gave away ten taels, why did he still care about a hundred coins? He stopped the uncle and said, "I'll do it, you go back and find a doctor for auntie."

Shui Ling asked deliberately, "Mom is the doctor, why can't I show it to her?"

Shui Zheran shook his head, "Your mother doesn't have medical documents, so who can believe her?"

Unexpectedly, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. The uncle immediately grabbed Shui Zheran's sleeve and asked, "Does your wife know how to see a doctor? Can you... I don't want the carriage money, but can you help my wife and see if it's okay?"

Su Qin hesitated and said, "I don't have any paperwork. Will I be arrested if I go to see a doctor?"

The young man said: "No, don't worry about this, but you can't go to the medical clinic to get medicine. You can only collect the medicine yourself and treat it yourself. If something happens, the medical clinic will not be responsible."

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Su Qin nodded.

Shui Zheran put the carriage transfer document into his arms and said, "You get in the carriage and I will hold you there."

Su Qin and Shui Ling immediately got into the car and sat down. The young man wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Soon, he was glad that he didn't meddle in other people's business. This man was so powerful. No wonder his wife and daughter didn't refuse.

Shui Zheran said: "Uncle, you can get on the carriage and show me the way to go faster.

"Okay." The old man was not humble, he was thinking about his wife.

Shui Zheran pulled the car to the Nancheng slums. The houses here were small and dilapidated. Some children in ragged clothes were playing outside. When they saw the car, they ran after it.

When they reached a wooden house inside, the old man said, "This is it."

Su Qin got out of the car and smelled the smell of medicine, but the smell was almost gone. The people inside must have not taken medicine for three days.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the sour smell and hear the suppressed cough.

The old man shouted: "Old lady, I hired a female doctor for you. If you have anything to do, don't hide it. We can cure it."

Su Qin walked in and could smell the stench when she opened the bed curtain. She frowned and said, "You all get out."

The room was very dark, so Su Qin took out a candle and lit it. After lifting the quilt, the smell became even stronger.

In fact, the old man's service was quite clean, but the smell...

Su Qin took out a mask and put it on, found sterile gloves, and checked with X-ray first. He found that the internal organs were still intact, but the woman had been ill for too long.

She was disinfected and cleaned, given medicine and then given an injection of antibiotics before the quilt was put on her again. The aunt did not wake up the whole time and fell into a moderate coma.

After thinking for a while, I took out some antibiotic tablets and ground them into powder, mixed the flour and sugar and wrapped six packets in yellow paper.

She walked out and said, "Uncle, this is medicine. Take one packet a day for six days. You don't need to take it today."

"Follow us back to the inn later. I'll give you the herbal medicine. You can wash it for me every day and you'll be fine in a month."

The uncle's eyes lit up, "Can it really be good?"

"Yes, I live in Ruoshui Village, Xiahe County. You can find me by looking for the yamen's head catcher Wei Chenglin." Su Qin reported his address.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much." The old man burst into tears of gratitude and carefully put away the medicine bag.

Shui Zheran sighed and took out two more coins, "Take these, it's going to be winter soon."

The old man refused to accept anything, "No, no, I can't charge you any more money."

Shui Zheran thought of a move, "Let's do this. If my aunt has an accident, don't come to us. This money is just buying your life."
