() The two of them walked a few steps in the room and immediately realized that the source of the bloody smell was the bed where the little cat slept. The little cat slept on the bed and never moved.
Zeng Aniu's face was shocked. He walked to the bed and gently opened the quilt. A strong smell of blood hit his face. The quilt was stained with blood, and some places were soaked with blood.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zeng Aniu called anxiously.
The little cat woke up. She was covered with a dirty coarse cloth gown. She moved into the bed, curled up her body, and tried to hide herself, saying, "Brother, I'm fine, don't come over."
"
Zeng Aniu carefully took off the gown from the little cat, and gently turned her body over. The blue coarse cloth she was wearing was torn in several places. Under the clothes, there were bite wounds exposed.
, the skin and flesh were cracked, and some were still bleeding.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Zeng Aniu shouted sadly.
The little tabby cat cried out, "I was bitten by a dog. I'm bleeding all the time. I'm so scared. Brother, will I die?"
"You won't die! I'm a pharmacist, how could you die? Come on, don't be afraid, I'll treat your injuries." Zeng Aniu suppressed his sadness and calmed himself down, saying.
Fang Ping brought a basin of water, and Zeng Aniu took out a bamboo green elixir, dissolved it into the water, and then used a towel dipped in water to clean the wounds on the little cat's body.
The little cat's pretty little face was full of tears, and its little lips were biting together tightly without making a sound.
After cleaning the little cat's body, Zeng Aniu opened another bottle of paste-like black elixir. Fang Ping saw that it was black tiger ointment for treating wounds. It had no grade, and the quality was not very good in terms of sex.
He said, "Brother Zeng, I have a bottle of first-grade yellow-grade black jade perilla ointment here, which has a very good effect on skin and flesh injuries." As he said this, Fang Ping took out a white porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and a strong medicinal fragrance came out.
It suddenly floated indoors.
Zeng Aniu was overjoyed, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang, for your help."
The two of them applied plaster to the little cat and bandaged the wound. Zeng Aniu put her into clean old clothes and laid her down on the bed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"How come you were bitten by a dog when you were studying in a private school? Also, where did this tattered gown come from?" Zeng Aniu looked into his sister's eyes and asked.
The little cat bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm sorry, I have to tell you something. You can't be angry with me." Before she could finish her words, tears were already flowing down her face.
Zeng Aniu quickly said softly, "I'm not angry with you, just speak slowly."
The little cat sobbed and said, "Actually, during these days, I didn't go to a private school to study. Instead, I was begging for money on the street. Today when I was begging for money, I was bitten by a wild dog. I'm afraid that my brother will find me when he comes back.
Instead of going to study, I picked up some tattered clothes on the road, wrapped myself up, and then came back and lay down on the bed to sleep."
Zeng Aniu's face was shocked, "When I pick you up every day, aren't you always at the door of the private school?"
The little cat said, "I beg for money on the street during the day. I guess it's almost time, so I'll go there and wait for you."
Zeng Aniu's face was ashen, he punched the wall and shouted, "Why don't you go to school? Why did you lie to me? Do you know how difficult it was for me to earn the five taels of silver for my tuition? Will you ever
Do you also want to be a slave with no success in your life, and make your children and grandchildren slaves for generations?"
The little cat cried even harder and said, "Brother, you said you wouldn't be angry with me. If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have told you. I might as well have been killed by a wild dog."
Zeng Aniu noticed his gaffe, his face softened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, why don't you go to a private school to study?"
The little cat said quietly, "Those children looked down on me and bullied me. They all rode in carriages and wore new clothes to go to school. I could only walk there, with only two changes of old clothes, and I could only eat steamed buns at noon. I
When I went to school, they laughed at me, asked me to run errands for them, and even beat me."
"Why didn't you tell me? Who is not born to parents, why should they be superior to others because they have two stinkers? Whoever bullies you, I will vent your anger on your behalf." Zeng Aniu said.
"I originally wanted to endure it. But last month, the landlady said that you didn't pay the rent and wanted to kick us out. I happened to be having a bad time in the private school at that time, so I simply went out to beg for money. I begged for the money.
You can pay the rent for us. I'm afraid of losing our home. We traveled all the way and finally settled here. I scrub this room twice every morning and evening. Look how clean this room is and how comfortable it is to live in. I don't want to
I’ll live in Broken Temple Bridge Cave again. Brother, I’ve saved a lot of money and can almost pay the rent. Let me show you.” The little cat said, struggling to get up from the bed.
Zeng Aniu quickly stopped her and said, "I'll help you get it."
The little cat completely ignored the pain on his body, his face was full of joy, and he pointed to the bottom of his little bed, "There."
Zeng Aniu looked under the bed and found a broken earthenware jar. The opening above the earthenware jar was carefully sewn up by the little cat with rags, leaving only a small opening for inserting the copper coins.
.
"Brother, open it and take a look. You should have saved a lot of money." The little cat's face was full of anticipation, staring intently at the broken earthen jar, just like a child staring at his most beloved toy.
With tears in his eyes, Zeng Aniu threw the jar to the ground with all his strength. There was a crash and copper coins scattered on the ground.
"Brother, count how many there are?" said the little cat.
Zeng Aniu slumped down on the chair, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and said in a choked voice, "Little sister, it's useless for me. I'm sorry for you."
The little cat was startled, "Brother, why are you crying? I have begged so much money to pay the rent, why are you still not happy?"
Fang Ping felt his nose was a little sore. He squatted down, picked up the copper coins one by one, piled them up, and piled them on the table. There were a total of 360 copper coins, which was converted into silver taels, which was three taels and six coins.
Fang Ping said softly, "Little sister, your brother is crying because he is too happy. Don't worry, the boss will definitely not drive you away. You have just applied the medicine, so you need to have a good rest."
Zeng Aniu cried for a while, then calmed down and gently coaxed the little cat to sleep. The little cat lay on the bed, turning his head from time to time to glance at the neat piles of copper coins, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as Zeng Aniu's eyes touched the pile of copper coins, his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Fang Ping poured him a glass of water and asked, "Brother Zeng, what are your plans for the future?"
Zeng Aniu smiled miserably, "I have offended Feng Mi, what else can I do? Even if I am proven innocent, my job in the medicine garden will definitely be gone. Without this income, I will definitely not be able to stay in Qingfeng Manor. I will have to work elsewhere."
Let’s find a living and support myself and my sister.”
Fang Ping said calmly, "Feng Mi is just a clown. He went to find senior brother Zhou Jingxuan, which is what we wanted. You don't have to worry about the work in the medicine garden. Even if there is no work in the medicine garden, in Qingfeng Manor, no matter how hard you work,
It’s not difficult to find a job to support your family.”
After hearing this, Zeng Aniu's eyes lit up and he said, "Is this true? If so, Brother Fang, then I really want to thank you."
Fang Ping said, "On your sister's side, you have to find a way to settle her down. You can't take care of her that much in Qingfeng Manor. I have a proposal. I don't know if Brother Zeng can trust me."
Zeng Aniu said, "I'm grateful to Brother Fang for your help today. Brother Fang just says it's okay. I'm all ears."
Fang Ping said casually, "I am from Qingniu Village, and my parents are both in Qingniu Village. The owner of Qingniu Village also has a good relationship with my family. In addition, I have several good brothers and friends who also live in the village. If
If you don't mind, I can place your sister in Qingniu Village and give her some care. There are also private schools in Qingniu Village, and she can go to school there."
Zeng Aniu thought for a while and said, "If this can be done, that would be great. But I still have to go to Qingniu Village to see it in person to feel at ease."
Fang Ping smiled and said, "This is what it should be. I will go back to Qingniu Village in half a month, and then you can take your sister back with me to have a look before making a decision. During this time, you can feel at ease
Heal your sister’s injuries.”
Fang Ping talked to Zeng Aniu again, comforted him a few words, and then stood up to leave. Before leaving, he gave Zeng Aniu one hundred taels of silver. Zeng Aniu declined, and finally accepted the twenty taels.
silver.
