Chapter 5: Silver is back

Zhou Heng raised his eyes, looked at the man in Jinyi with a puzzled look on his face, showed a far-fetched smile, shook his head and said:

"When I saw the old man carrying a sword into the temple yesterday, Zhou was a little scared. That was a self-protection statement. Brother Xue lives in Lingshan Village and is a neighbor to my family. Yesterday, I was attacked by a villain and fell into the lake. Brother Xue saved me."

The man in Jinyi looked up and down at Zhou Heng. Yesterday was a helpless move. Unexpectedly, this person's medical skills were excellent. Seeing Zhou Heng explaining so frankly, he felt less alert.

"My name is Pang Xiao, just call me Xiao Bo! I wonder who else is in the family of Xiaolang Zhou, are they all practicing medicine?"

Zhou Heng guessed that this guy would definitely ask these questions. After all, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was very tall, he was still a little tender on his face and had already made plans in his heart.

He sighed, smiled bitterly, and said:

"I was injured in the head after the attack. Except for medical skills, I forgot everything, even the country name and town. Brother Xue said that there was only one grandfather in my family who died last month. After more than a month of confusion, he caused trouble and burned the land tax in Lingshan Village. So I thought about practicing medicine as soon as possible and earned money to return it to the people in the village. Therefore, I asked for medical expenses like this last night. I felt a little guilty at this moment, and I hope Xiao Bo would forgive me."

Zhou Heng spoke extremely sincerely. After all, this Xiao Bo and the young man looked different from ordinary people at first sight. If you inquire, you will know the whole story. It would be better to say it yourself.

The true and false are mixed together, and there will be no doubt.

After all, I don’t know if there are any identity cards or yellow books in this world. However, each village and county will definitely have statistical household registration, which is related to agricultural and military service taxes, which is the foundation of the country.

Amnesia is the best reason. As for the original owner's grandfather, it is probably to hide his identity, otherwise he would not have found such a secret mountain village to avoid disaster.

Pang Xiao looked up at Zhou Heng. His frankness was unexpected. These words made him feel relieved again. If Zhou Heng said that Boss Xue was his servant, he would doubt this person's intentions.

In the wilderness and ruined temple, how could a person with excellent medical skills rest here by chance?

The young man pulled Pang Xiao's sleeve and said:

"Xiao Boxiu wants to ask again. This young doctor Zhou has great medical skills, but having this experience is also a pity. It is safe to have time to go to Qingping County to recuperate."

Pang Xiao clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the temple gate.

"Well!"

Pang Xiao quickly stepped out of the ruined temple, and Zhou Heng also followed him out.

As soon as I left the temple gate, I saw a carriageman parked in front of the door with a donkey cart.

Behind the donkey cart, Boss Xue followed him to support an old man and a few middle-aged men dressed in coarse cloth. When Zhou Heng came out, the old man quickly walked forward a few steps and asked for a bow tremblingly.

Zhou Heng was startled and saw that the old man had white eyebrows and looked like he was leaning on a crutch. He was not eighty or seventy, so he seemed to have been a little over for him to show his salute to him. He quickly walked up to the old man and held his arm.

"Old man, why is this?"

The old man looked at Zhou Heng with a smile on his face and patted his arm.

"It seems that as Xue Tai said, you don't recognize me anymore. If you lose your memory, you can still think of paying for money. You are an honest person with the style of your grandfather. You can take this."

As he said that, he stuffed a ingot of silver into Zhou Heng's hand. Looking at the lost silver, Zhou Heng was a little confused. Should he be polite?

"I don't know what the old man calls him?"

Boss Xue respectfully introduced: "This is the head of the Xue family in Lingshan Village."

Zhou Heng quickly bowed to the ground. The crying child has milk to eat. Face is nothing. People pay you half the silver, what else do you want?

It's nothing to say that the house needs the remaining money to repair.

"Old Mr. Xue is polite. Zhou Heng was rescued by Brother Xue, and then he realized the whole story. He was confused for a long time and caused trouble for all the villagers. Brother Zhang's house needs to be repaired, this money."

The head of the Xue family waved his sleeves and looked at Zhou Hengyi's smile.

"Ten taels of silver will make up for the wheat deficit. As for your Brother Zhang's house, I will ask someone to help him rebuild it. Yesterday, Xue Tai sent you lotus roots. We ate them very deliciously. I think we can take them out for money. This is a great favor for Lingshan Village. How can you get the silver again?"

Zhou Heng suddenly realized that he thought the lotus root tasted good.

It is true that this thing grows by the lake, and it is enough to buy it for money. During the slack season, or ordinary women and children can work, which is considered to bring some foreign money to the village.

However, eating this way is a bit bland and is not conducive to sales. If you improve it, you can sell it several times the price by making delicious snacks. As for the recipe, you can also exchange it for some silver.

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes, smiled at Boss Xue, and said:

"Brother Xue, please carry the young master in the temple into the car, remember to wrap it in the quilt."

"Hug? Why?"

Zhou Heng covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "The young man has an injury on his leg. When I was treating him, I cut one of his trouser legs, so"

Before Zhou Heng finished speaking this time, Boss Xue nodded and turned around and entered the ruined temple.

Zhou Heng then grabbed the hand of the leader of the Xue family and whispered:

"Uncle Xue, if this lotus root is cooked like this, the taste is a bit bland and is not conducive to sales. You can find someone to make several types of food. Besides, the lotus root itself has the effect of diet therapy, and it can be sold at a high price, so that someone will come to dig after you just sold it."

When the Xue family leader heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

"It's so good, but how to do it?"

Zhou Heng was a little troubled for a while. Cooking cannot be done by saying it. He has to teach it step by step. He wants to go to Qingping County and doesn’t want to go back here for the time being. How should he arrange it?

After glanced at the donkey cart, Zhou Heng laughed instantly.

"Uncle Xue, otherwise I would find someone who knows how to cook and drive and follow us to Qingping County. I will teach the young master some snacks while treating him. Then he will come back to teach everyone and go out to sell them. What do you think?"

The head of the Xue family turned around and looked at everyone, shaking their heads, showing a look of embarrassment.

"My family cooks, but how could she drive?"

“So too of my family.”

"yes!"

Just as the few people were arguing, Boss Xue was already wrapped in a quilt and hugged the young master from the ruined temple. She was not stupid. When she walked to the door, she knew to turn sideways first, and then walked out to the door and came to the donkey cart.

Pang Xiao had already jumped into the car, and the sword had gone where it was. He stretched out his right hand to catch the young master and placed it in the car.

The donkey cart in the village is not that luxurious, but it is covered with thick quilts. After all, the owner is still very careful when transporting the injured.

Zhou Heng glanced at Pang Xiao, he didn't care about it yesterday, but now when he looked back, it seemed that he had not stretched out his left hand.

Holding a sword, digging silver, and fetching water, all the movements were done by his right hand. Could it be that his left arm was injured?

Zhou Heng blinked his eyes, and it would be great if this was the case. Wouldn't it be a business again?

At this moment, the head of the Xue family shouted at Mr. Xue.

"Xue Tai, come here!"

Boss Xue quickly ran over and bent down to stand in front of the old man.

"Just Mr. Zhou's young man said just now that this lotus root can be made and sold for special food. I want to send someone to learn it, but these people are not good at cooking.

Since you were young, you have been pulling Mingyu to grow up. It’s no problem to wash clothes and cook. Just drive the car to take this noble young master and the Zhou family’s young man to Qingping County. In your spare time, you will learn from the young man, and then come back to teach everyone. It just so happens that you will protect the young man along the way. After all, he has just recovered from a serious illness. What do you think?"

Boss Xue turned his head and looked at Zhou Heng, pausing for a moment.

"My second brother at home doesn't know how to make food, so he asks the clan leader to take care of him. The boy will drive away now."

"Okay, then be careful all the way."

As he said that, Boss Xue had nothing nonsense and was about to take the lead while holding the reins of the donkey.

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered that his first aid kit was still hidden in the hall, and turned around and rushed back to the temple again.

He crawled behind the Buddha statue and opened the wheat grass in that secret place. The box was still inside. Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the box was still there, so how could he fall down the box in a confused manner?

Pulling the strap on the box and pulling it out of the gap. Zhou Heng picked up the spring lock and opened the box. This was a subconscious action. After all, after the emergency doctor took over the spare parts, the first priority was to count it.

Just as the box was opened, Zhou Heng was stunned!
