Kapok's heart ached when he heard this, and tears flowed down his face.

"Mom, you can't think too hard! You have to be well. Dad may still be alive. You can't believe what Uncle Wang Gui says. Mom, you have to take care of yourself and wait for dad to come back."

"Fuya, you mean your father is still alive." Po Liu didn't listen to anything else, but she heard these words clearly, and her heart rekindled hope.

"Mom, I just had a dream that my father was still alive, but he was suffering, waiting for us to find him and take him home." Kapok comforted her mother.

These words really had an effect on Mrs. Liu.

"It's good to be alive," Mrs. Liu muttered with her eyes closed, feeling somewhat energetic.

Kapok touched her mother's head and it still felt hot. It seemed that she needed to give her mother some fever-reducing medicine.

Kapok thought so and quickly returned to the house to open up the space {the space is being upgraded and maintained, so stay tuned}

She forgot about this, the space was still being upgraded, and she couldn't tell when the space would be upgraded.

Her mother couldn't do this and still had to take medicine.

Ka Mian Fuzhi thought in her mind that among the herbs her mother drank for coughing a few days ago, there were several herbs that had the effect of reducing fever. It would also be useful to find some and boil them into medicine.

Kapok went back to get warm water, put a warm sweat towel on her mother to help her get up, and wiped her mother's body. She put the sweat towel on again and folded it and put it on her mother's forehead. It could relieve some of the fever and make her feel comfortable.

some.

At this time, Sister-in-law Mu was not worried about her mother-in-law coming into the house to check, and found that her sister-in-law had already been here.

"My sister-in-law has a fever. You can watch her here and help her scrub her body every once in a while to lower the temperature. I'm going to find some antipyretic herbs to boil," Kapok said.

"Oh! I'm watching over here, little sister, go ahead," Sister-in-law Mu responded.

Kapok left the house and found several herbs with antipyretic properties from the leftover herbs.

Bupleurum, cinnamon twig, astragalus, licorice and a piece of dried ginger from the kitchen at home were boiled into a decoction.

A quarter of an hour later, Kapok made the soup and brought it into the house.

Sister-in-law Mu immediately took the decoction from the young girl's hand, "Little sister, you have been busy for a while. You are tired. Go and rest quickly. I will stay to take care of your mother. She cannot recover from her illness tomorrow morning. You will fall down from exhaustion. Your mother will be there by then."

"Distressed"

Kapok was indeed a little tired, and she didn't sleep for the first half of the night. My sister-in-law was very attentive, so I felt relieved to have her in Kapok, so I went back to her room to sleep for a while.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liu drank the decoction, and her fever subsided soon after, and she woke up without any confusion. She was still thinking about what her daughter said in her mind, and the old man was still alive.

"Qing, Mom, nothing's wrong. You should go back and take a nap while it's still dark, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."

Mrs. Mu touched her mother-in-law's forehead and saw that the fever was gone and she seemed to be in good spirits. She felt relieved and went back to catch up on some sleep.

The next day, Mrs. Mu got up and cooked millet porridge with some red dates, steamed soft and glutinous chicken cakes, steamed red date steamed buns, stir-fried two plates of side dishes, shredded braised pork head and stir-fried mung bean sprouts, and chopped cucumbers with garlic.

I also cooked goat milk for little Sambo and my sister-in-law.

It can be said that Mu's breakfast is the best in the village. Grandma Liu drank half a bowl of porridge and started to sweat. Her body has almost recovered. She was mainly suffering from a mental illness.

"Fuya, you said your father is really still alive," Mrs. Liu asked her daughter after eating.

"Mom, my father was alive in my dream, but I also feel that Uncle Wang Gui's words cannot be fully believed. Why did he say that my father was hacked to death by the horse bandits? I asked him where his father was buried, but he hesitated and couldn't tell me.

, there is probably something fishy about this.

Mom, we want to see people when we are alive, and we want to see corpses when we are dead. It is a good thing if there is no corpse, it means that dad is still alive," Kapok said her thoughts.

Po Liu also felt that what her daughter said was reasonable.

The matter of finding Muhu must start with Wang Gui and find a way to pry the truth out of his mouth. Unfortunately, her space is still being upgraded and the fox cub cannot come out, otherwise she would have a way to tell Wang Gui.

truth.

Kapok took her mother's arm, "Dad, leave this matter to me and I will give you the result. Mom, I haven't been to the city for several days. I want to go back to the city to buy some things today. Mom, you can go with me."

"

"Then I will accompany you to the city," Mrs. Liu agreed.

Kapok was also worried that her mother would be bored at home and think about things, so she went to the city to divert her attention.

The space upgrade is temporarily unavailable, and most of the money she saved cannot be taken out in the space.

Fortunately, she had 20 taels of silver on hand that she didn't have time to put away, 5 taels of which were dividends from the snail frying that Mu Daguai gave her yesterday.

The rest is the dividend from the braised meat in the tavern that her second brother gave her yesterday. 20 taels is enough to go shopping in the city.

Her own oxcart was driven into town by her second brother at dawn to deliver braised meat before she had eaten.

Kapok and her daughter had no choice but to rush to the village entrance to take a bullock cart. By chance, they met Wang Gui.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to the city with Fuya? I happened to have just come back. I need to buy everything at home. Let's go to the city together. When my sister-in-law goes to the city, just tell her what she wants. I'll pay the bill." Wang Gui said to Po Liu.

With.

"Brother Wang, you're too polite. How can I ask you for money? I'd rather keep it to ask for a house wife." Mrs. Liu took two steps back to keep a distance from Wang Gui.

She kept everything her daughter said in mind, and her attitude towards Wang Gui was not as good as before.

Know people but don't know their hearts. Bad people these days don't write bad things on their faces. She still wants to be on guard.

Before Wang Gui could say anything, women who were also driving bullock carts gathered around him.

"Hey! Isn't this Wang Gui? Where did he get rich after not returning to the village for so long? He got rich and came back to the village to ask for a wife. How about my aunt find one for you, that is Widow Liu from the next village. A few years ago

My husband is dead and I have no children. I am a virtuous and capable person, so I say you are not young anymore. If you are worthy enough, we will get married." Li Po stepped forward and said.

Normally, Granny Li is keen on keeping matchmakers and pulling strings, and gets some benefits from it.

"Don't worry, Aunt Li. I already have someone I like in my heart." Wang Gui said without forgetting to glance at Granny Liu.

"Hey! How did you say that? You have someone in your heart. Since there is someone in Wang Gui's heart, I don't know if he is from our village. I can tell my aunt to help you." Matchmaker Li said eagerly.

"Auntie is from our village. This person is right in front of us right now. She is Mrs. Liu of the Mu family." Wang Gui took this opportunity to speak without hiding anything.

All the village women present were shocked when they heard this: "Doesn't Grandma Liu have a man? Mu Huhu went out to work for several months and has not come back. There is no news. This man does not know whether he is alive or dead. If he is still alive, Grandma Liu cannot be a widow."

, we can’t talk about marriage anymore, Wang Gui, you can’t fall in love with anyone who has a man, isn’t this immoral?”

"Wang Gui and Mu Huhu grew up wearing the same pair of pants. Who in the village doesn't know that the two of them are closer than brothers? How could Wang Gui take advantage of Mu Huhu's absence to pry into the corner of the brothers? He is missing a great virtue."

When the village women reacted, they were all chattering.

"Auntie, you don't know something. Brother Mu was out working on the way to Anping County when he encountered a horse bandit and was hacked to death on the spot. I luckily escaped with his life. Brother Mu dragged me to take care of Mrs. Liu before he died. I am also following the old man's instructions.

"Brother's last wish" Wang Gui had already said what he had planned.
