Guo Shanren made up his mind to leave Guoyu Village with Mudanhong and his young son. No matter how much salary the iron abacus offered him, he was willing. Anyway, the drug store would redeem him again in more than a year, and Guo Shanren would pay him if he was redeemed.

After running the business, this time I have a little son, so I have to live a peaceful life. As long as I can run the drug store well, I won't have to worry about living a hard life. Guo Shanren has been planning for a long time, but the mule has been sold by him, and he is too embarrassed to use his son.

Bancai walked into Bancai's house in desperation. Bancai bought a new old cow. Guo Shanren told Bancai that he wanted to hire his cow to go to Wagou Town. Bancai thought of all the care his old employer gave him when he first came here.

, said to Guo Shanren: "If you want to use it, just pull it there. No one can hire anyone." Guo Shanren said that he would not come back once he left, and Bancai had to go with him to Wagou Town to haul the cattle.

Bancai said: "Just go, the farmer's hard work is worthless, it just wastes my time for half a day."

So Guo Shanren sorted out the belongings at home, taking what should be carried and leaving what could not be carried. On a sunny morning, the family had a little meal early, and let his wife and children ride on the back of an ox.

Carrying a bag on his back, he locked the door, left Guoyu Village, and returned to Fengqi. He didn't say hello to anyone, and he didn't even tell Quan Fa. The difference was that before, he went to Fengqi to be a shopkeeper.

The next time I was looking for work for someone else, I had a feeling that it was not as good as it used to be. People live a lifetime and encounter anything. They just have to rest wherever they go.

In Wagou Town, Guo Shanren bought Bancai a bowl of mutton steamed buns as a thank you to Bancai. Then he hired a sedan for his wife and children. When it was dark, he entered the city. The sedan stopped in front of the medicine shop. Guo Shanren gave the sedan to Bancai.

The husband paid the fee and sent the bearer away, then walked up the stone steps of the medicine shop. When he raised his hand to knock on the door, he felt sour and shed a string of tears.

Tie Abacus is playing with his two grandsons in the backyard. It seems that the "granddaughter" is much smarter than the grandson. Tie Abacus knows in his heart that his granddaughter is actually his seed. Strictly speaking, he is his daughter, but the girl still treats him

Called Ye, the girl’s name was given by her nephew-in-law Manxiang, called Li Juan. This name is very nice, and it is connected with the name of Manxiang’s daughter Li Yan. Li Yan and Li Juan are “sisters”... in the world

Many things were not so clear, anyway, the meat rotted in the same pot. The grandson looked much slower, but Iron Abacus was also satisfied, as long as there was someone to continue the incense and someone to burn paper in the Li family cemetery.

While I was thinking wildly, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Since there was no more Mr. Tie Abacus, Tie Abacus sent the waiter who took the medicine back. The medicine shop had not been opened for some days, so who was knocking on the door? Tie Abacus looked out through the crack in the door.

I was quite surprised, it turned out to be Guo Shanren! So Guo Shanren had agreed to sit in the medicine shop? The iron abacus didn't allow him to think too much, so he quickly took off the door bar, opened the door, and saw a child in Peony Hong's arms. No need to ask, it must be

Guo Shanren's son... It seems that Guo Shanren has been cornered, otherwise he would never be willing to give in like this. In any case, when Guo Shanren arrives, the drug store will have a savior. It will open tomorrow, and it will bring in income. Iron Abacus does not dare to neglect,

He quickly asked Guo Shanren: "Have you eaten?"

Guo Shanren said: "Don't rush to eat now. Get us some hot water and let the mother and son wipe their faces first."

Iron Abacus went out to fetch water. Guo Shanren lay down in the recliner where he had been lying, picked up the hookah, blew on the fire paper, and took a sip of hookah. He felt as if he had knocked over the condiment bottle, and all the five flavors were in his mind.

Over the years, because Meng Luzi and Guo Shanren are related, it is very convenient for people from the medicine shop to fetch water from Meng Luzi’s tavern. People from the medicine shop have never had trouble with Meng Luzi. However, since Iron Abacus took over the medicine shop, people from the medicine shop have come to Meng Luzi.

When fetching water at the Donkey Tavern, he was reluctant to call the donkey, and sometimes deliberately kept a sullen face. Tie Abacus knew this, and most of the time Tie Abacus would just walk a few more steps, boil the water on the tea stove at home, and then bring it to the drug store.

In those days, people called thermos bottles "electric kettles". Ordinary people couldn't afford electric kettles at home, so most of the water they drank was freshly boiled. When farmers came home from work and were thirsty, they picked up a ladle and drank a lot of cold water. That night,

Iron Abacus was so careless that he came to the Calling Donkey Tavern to fetch water. As soon as he entered the house, he said: "Calling Donkey, your relatives are here, please bring a pot of hot water."

Unexpectedly, he called the donkey and said, "I bought this water with money, so I won't give it to you."

Iron Abacus asked for trouble, so he had to go back to his home and boil a pot of hot water to carry it. Guo Shanren asked: "Why does it take so long to carry a pot of water?" Iron Abacus didn't want to put a wedge between the two parents' homes, so he said: "It's called

There is no water on the donkey's side, so I went home to bring a pot." Guo Shanren was not stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the meaning. It was to ask the donkey's relatives to deliberately embarrass him. Guo Shanren was very tired and wanted to wash his hands.

After finishing his face, he asked Tiabaobaan: "I don't know if Chang Youli's steamed bun shop is closed. Just buy a few steamed buns to fill your stomach." Who knew that a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What steamed buns are you eating? The food at home is ready. Let's go there."

Let’s go eat at home.” Guo Shanren looked up and saw that it was Li Mingqiu who was here.

Mudanhong felt very uncomfortable when she saw Li Mingqiu, but Li Mingqiu didn't care. He even stepped forward to tease the child in Mudanhong's arms. He took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the child's hands. The child's small hands

Unable to hold it firmly, the candies were scattered on the ground. Tie Abacus squatted down, picked up the candies one by one, and put them into the child's pocket. Guo Shanren smiled at Mudanhong and said, "I have all been in the world.

Don’t worry about past grudges anymore…”

Although Manxiang had some contempt for Mudanhong, due to the kindness of so many people, she still greeted Mudanhong and even stretched out her hand to tease the child in Mudanhong's arms. She lit two candles on the candlestick and everyone gathered around the Eight Immortals Table.

After dinner, Guo Shanren and Mudanhong stayed in Li Mingqiu's West Building that night.

Jishitang opened for business the next day. Since there were not many people coming to see the doctor, Guo Shanren saw the doctor and took medicine by one person at the same time, and no more waiters were hired. Fengqi Town was just such a drugstore, and everyone was very familiar with Guo Shanren, so people came one after another.

Although the business is not as good as before when people come to see doctors and get medicine, they can still maintain it.

The Hu Lala city wall was suddenly covered with people. For some reason, the soldiers guarding the city raised their guns and drove those people down. There were four slopes at the corners of the four city walls. If people were driven down from one side, people would rush up from the other side.

, the soldiers were puzzled and asked the idle men who went up to the city wall, what are you looking at while standing on the city wall? The idle men pointed to the backyard of the medicine shop and saw Peony Hong standing in the yard holding her child and basking in the sun. Soldier

It suddenly dawned on them that these idle men were looking at Peony Red.

That night, the lamp head (the leader of the theater troupe) came to Guo Shanren's residence, carrying a large bag of gifts in his hand. Guo Shanren knew what the lamp head was doing and was a little confused. After the lamp head sat down, he directly explained the purpose of his visit and wanted to go to Guo Shanren.

Mudanhong returned to the stage to sing in an opera, and she offered Mudanhong a good reward. She promised to send Mudanhong back directly after the opera was over and would never harm a single hair of Mudanhong.

The peony red poplar flower could no longer hold back any longer. Before Guo Shanren could express his opinion, he pushed the child into Guo Shanren's arms and said to the lamp head: "Let's go."

Guo Shanren carried the child to the stage of the Chenghuang Temple. He saw that the stage was already crowded with people. Two gas lamps were hung in the air, illuminating the stage. After a while, the play started, and Peony Red appeared, which immediately received full applause. Guo Shanren

I was dumbfounded and had a premonition that something was wrong. I regretted that I should not have returned to Fengqi with Peony Hong.

After the play that night, the lamp head hired a sedan as promised and carried Mudanhong into the backyard of the drug store. Mudanhong was still very excited after the play, and she was still moaning when she fell asleep under the quilt. Guo Shanren turned over and hugged Mudanhong.

, put his mouth next to Mudanhong's ear and whispered: "Damn it, there is filth in the theater troupe. We will never go to such an occasion again, okay?" Mudanhong turned over and sat up, and asked Guo Shanren: "You

How many days did it take for a pig to pretend to be a human being after eating a peach pit? Didn’t you often go to that kind of occasion in the past? We are all people who have been here, don’t pretend to be serious, I will not leave you for the sake of my children, but what do I want to do?

Don’t worry about it”!

The next day those idle men were even bolder and openly ran into the backyard of the drug store to see Peony Hong. Guo Shanren no longer wanted to treat people, so he came to Li Mingqiu out of desperation. Li Mingqiu thought about it and said: Otherwise, let your wife live in my house.

Although Li Mingqiu has washed his hands and stopped working in the underworld, the idle men on Fengqi Street are still a little afraid of Li Mingqiu. After Mudanhong moved into Li Mingqiu's house, he felt much cleaner. But Mudanhong was born to be a lover of the public,

Naturally, I couldn't stay in Li Mingqiu's house. Not long after, someone sent me a message, inviting Mudanhong to sing in the church. Anyone who could afford it was a prominent figure in Fengqi Street. Even Li Mingqiu didn't dare to refuse in person.

, Mudanhong gave the child to Zhuye to take care of her, got into a sedan, and was carried by the sedan bearers into the deep mansions and courtyards in Fengqi Town, to add splendor to the host's weddings, weddings, and weddings. Of course, those families would not invite Mudan in vain.

Peony Hong will receive generous rewards for every party. Guo Shanren was very unaccustomed to it at first, but over time he got used to it. For the sake of his son, he could only swallow his anger.

That night, Peony Hong was still invited to sing in the opera. When the opera ended, the lamp head still hired a sedan to carry Peony Hong away. All the people watching the opera had dispersed. Fengqi Street was deserted. Suddenly, those carrying the sedan chair

The sedan was lifted up and started running. The West City Gate naturally opened, and the bearers carried Peony Hong out of the West City Gate. Outside the west gate of Fengqi City was a ravine, with dense woods in the ravine, and Guo Mazi's garrison in the woods. Needless to say, those who were there

The soldiers hijacked Mudanhong and took her into the military camp.

Ever since Mudanhong became popular again on Fengqi Street, Guo Shanren knew that one day something unexpected would happen to Mudanhong. That night Mudanhong didn't come home all night, and the next morning Jishi Hall was still open, and Guo Shanren sat in the medicine shop and raped

Pretending to be calm, he waited for the news that Mudanhong was missing. At noon, Li Mingqiu came out of Commander Guo's residence and went to the drugstore to tell Guo Shanren: "Captain Guo promised to help find Mudanhong."

Guo Shanren gave a wry smile: "There is no need to look for it, this day will come sooner or later."

About ten days later, Tie Abacus slept until midnight when he heard someone knocking on the door. For a drug store, knocking on the door in the middle of the night is normal. Tie Abacus took off the top door bar and opened the door. He saw a dead man sleeping on the steps of the drug store. This was not enough.

Strangely, there were often homeless people begging for food and dying of illness on the streets without anyone asking for help. He glanced at the dead man through the starlight, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Who is this if it's not Peony Hong?"?!

It turned out that after the soldiers hijacked Mudanhong into the military camp, they spent more than ten days ruining her until she was almost dying. Then they took Mudanhong and placed it on the steps of the drug store, deliberately knocked on the door, and then walked away.

.

Guo Shanren also got up, neither panicked nor sad. Together with Tiebaanpan, he carried Mudanhong into the drug store. He saw that the woman was in ragged clothes, her face was bloodless, and there were tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes.

In any case, Mudanhong is the mother of a child. Guo Shanren knew from the beginning that there were countless men who had slept with Mudanhong, and he was not qualified to dislike her. After more than ten days, Mudanhong gradually recovered. Guo Shanren put Li Mingqiu with Iron Abacus

Calling them together, he told them that Guo Shanren could no longer stay in Fengqi Street and planned to return to Guoyu Village with Mudanhong. He wanted to completely sell (sell) the medicine shop to Li Mingqiu and wanted Li Mingqiu to pay again.

Give him some silver dollars.

Li Mingqiu didn't want to take advantage of others' danger, so he persuaded Guo Shanren: "Think again, there is no turning back when you shoot the bow." Guo Shanren said that he had thought about it and would never regret it.
