Niu Da's house is simple and dilapidated, with two rooms and a courtyard, nothing more.
Bai Song stood outside the fence and shouted: "Niu Da!"
After a while, a woman came out. She was in her early twenties, with a handsome face and extremely delicate facial features. However, she was dressed in tatters, which covered up her beauty.
"You are……"
"Niu Da's friend, I have something to do with him."
The woman looked at Bai Song at the door of the house for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Is the young master the benefactor my family says you are?"
Bai Song touched his nose: "That's right."
The woman immediately changed her hesitant attitude and hurriedly came out and opened the courtyard door.
"Benefactor, please come inside."
Bai Song entered the yard and stopped in front of the house door.
"Niu Da is not here?"
"My family should go out to have a drink."
"Then we won't go in."
"My benefactor, please wait a moment and go sit in the back room. The woman will go and find her husband at home."
With that said, Madam invited Bai Song into the room, then picked out a shawl and went out.
"Brother Bai, let's sit down first."
Sangsang followed him in and found a place to sit down.
Bai Song looked around and thought that Niu Da's house was really desolate.
A bully like him shouldn't be a master who is short of money. How can he live in such poverty?
Bai Song had nothing to think about and muttered intermittently: "This bully is a benefactor. Seeing me killing Doctor Xue, he went to play with himself in the blink of an eye. But is this ruffian? He always has some ruffian qualities. Can he
It is not easy to remember the kindness of others."
Just as he was muttering, Niu Da's voice came from outside: "Benefactor! Benefactor..."
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and Niu Da came back smelling of alcohol. Seeing Bai Song's face showing excitement, he grabbed Bai Song's hand and asked: "My benefactor, your injury has healed? Hey, I also said that I would find a doctor."
I had the chance to visit him, but unfortunately I didn’t make it.”
Without waiting for Bai Song to speak, he turned around and called to his wife who had just walked in: "Go and buy a roast goose. It's rare for a benefactor to come to the door. I won't let you go without a good meal today!"
"No need..." Bai Song said repeatedly.
"Which way?"
Niu Da was stubborn, but also upright. When he turned around and saw his wife standing blankly in front of the door, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up! Don't keep your benefactor waiting."
"Master..." the woman whispered, "I don't have that much money."
Saying this in front of his benefactor, Niu Da immediately became angry. He slapped the table and stood up, ready to hit him.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to hide. She just closed her eyes and remained motionless.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Bai Song scolded and stood up.
In front of Bai Song, Niu Dadu wanted to save some face, but he didn't hit his wife in the end. He waved his hand and scolded: "No money? No money, you can't think of a way? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, it's useless!"
As he said this, he suddenly took off the lady's hairpin.
"Here! If you pawn this, won't you make money?"
The woman was wearing a hairpin and shedding tears, showing her reluctance to give up.
But she was afraid of her husband and did not dare to say anything.
Bai Song frowned after looking at it, and kept asking Sauna to get money.
Sangsang dug into his purse, but before he could take out the money, the woman had already gone out.
Niu Dacai said: "Sit down, my benefactor. You can spend your money wherever you are. If you don't eat this meal, you are looking down on me, Niu Da."
Bai Song shook his head, looking a little helpless. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how.
Just as he was about to sit down, he saw Sang Sang sweating profusely beside him. When he saw the woman was gone, he felt relieved.
Bai Song was curious and asked in a low voice: "Sang Sang, what's wrong with you?"
Sang Sang was a little embarrassed: "Brother Bai, that roast goose is so expensive. It only costs two hundred coins. Sang Sang doesn't have that much money."
"You haven't withdrawn the money you deposited at the county government office?"
"I've already taken it."
"Brother Bai is used to extravagance and waste. From now on, when you go out with Brother Bai, it will never go wrong to bring more money with you."
Sangsang's face turned red again: "There isn't much money left at home."
"Don't have much money left?"
Bai Song was stunned, thinking that was three boxes of money, why is this piece gone?
Even excluding those who buy houses and land, there are still twenty or thirty guan left, which is enough for a family to last for several years.
Even if Bai Song was so wasteful, it shouldn't be gone in such a short time.
Sang Sang looked into Brother Bai's eyes and knew that Brother Bai was doubtful, but she didn't know how to explain it and lowered her head in shame.
At this time, Niu Dabiao said without coincidence: "Today my benefactor saw the joke. Without a strong woman in the family, no matter how big the family fortune is, it will be ruined."
Niu Da is talking about his wife.
After hearing this, Sang Sang felt even more guilty, and she was not in a good mood the whole day after that.
Bai Song was not thinking about this. He came to Niu Da today because he wanted Niu Da to follow him for a long time.
Seeing that Niu Da was not living a good life, Bai Song felt that it was a good thing.
A hungry person is better managed than a pampered person.
Although this Niu Da has a lot of problems, he is truly loyal.
Bai Song doesn't need many powerful people as allies now, the most important thing is to be trustworthy.
After getting along with Niu Da, he is absolutely trustworthy.
As long as he can be trusted, Bai Song can be satisfied.
But just because he saved his life, Bai Song couldn't let Niu Da follow him all the time.
No emotion can withstand the polishing of time, and kindness is also emotion.
If you want people like Niu Da to follow you all the time and give them enough benefits, it will be more effective than anything else.
Thinking about it, Bai Song said directly: "I was kicked out by the Lin family, and now I want a way out, will you do it with me?"
Niu Da was stunned: "What are we doing together?"
"It's not clear yet for a short period of time, but we have to live a better life first. I know some medical skills, so why not open a medical clinic first."
"Open a medical clinic? I don't know anything, and I can't help my benefactor."
"I don't need your help. As long as you help me, if it doesn't work, I can teach you some medicinal materials. It's a good job, so I won't be idle like now. When one day I run out of money, I'll go again
How many to grab?”
Niu Da was a little moved when he heard this, and his brows knitted together.
He has been ill for a while and has seen a lot. He used to feel that having a group of brothers supporting him was very prestigious.
But those brothers were totally unreliable, and they ignored me as soon as they heard that I was sick.
Now my body has recovered, but I don't know how to live my life. It's not a good feeling to be idle and confused all day long.
After some hesitation, Niu Da patted his thigh: "Okay! Niu Da will follow his benefactor from now on."
After hearing the news from Niu Da, Bai Song felt relieved and had lunch at Niu Da's house, then limped back to his house.
The injuries on his body were not healed yet, so Bai Song decided to recuperate seriously for a few days.
He lay on the bed and asked Sangsang to count the remaining money.
The money I made from selling fairy water was less than four kuans left.
Bai Song was greatly surprised by this number and asked Sang Sang.
Sang Sang just cried and said that Brother Bai had taken refuge outside the city a few days ago and spent more than 20 yuan on food in three days.
Only then did Bai Song suddenly realize.
In order to accumulate energy during those three days, I lost track of how much I ate.
And almost all of them are big fish and meat, which consume a lot of money.
The meat that ordinary people could not eat for a year was eaten by Bai Song in one day. How could the little money withstand the effort?
Bai Song figured out the cause of the matter and only then noticed Sangsang's crying.
"Sangsang, why are you crying?"
"Brother Bai, isn't Sangsang useless? You can't even take care of a house."
Old Bai Song blushed, thinking that the little girl blamed him for eating too much, and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Brother Bai will eat less in the future, and you will save money.
May I?"
Sangsang was not very interested, so he put the remaining copper plates into strings one by one and arranged them neatly in the box. Then he lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai, you said you want to open a medical clinic, how can you get enough money?"
"
"It doesn't matter, I just need to buy a batch of medicinal materials and set up a small stall."
As he was talking, a familiar voice came from outside.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Bai Song was stunned after hearing this: "Xiao Cui?"
"Brother, Xiaocui is here."
My sister hurried into the house from the yard and said.
"Let her in."
Bai Rou went to open the door, and Sang Sang looked outside and asked in a low voice: "Who is Xiao Cui?"
"The Lin family's maid."
"I drove away Brother Bai, what are you doing now?" Sangsang pouted, quite dissatisfied.
Bai Song smiled: "Sang Sang, please go out for a while. Maybe the Lin family has something else to do."
Sangsang left reluctantly.
Bai Song waited until Xiaocui came in.
I found this girl carrying a large package, so she entered the house and placed it next to Bai Song's pillow.
"What?"
"The things that the young lady asked me to bring include the young lady's jewelry, clothes, and a lot of silver coins. They are all for my uncle."
Bai Song was moved in his heart, but said with a straight face: "I don't need these, how did they come here, how do I bring them back."
"Uncle, are you like this? This is all the valuable things of the young lady. The young lady is worried that the uncle will not have a good life outside."
"She still cares about me? Why not care about her own family?" Bai Song frowned, "Do you know that if the Lin family wants to draw a clear line with me, we can't meet again. It's better for you, I just left, and you
I was in a hurry to deliver something. If word spread, would the Zheng family believe that I was kicked out of the Lin family?"
Xiaocui puffed her lips: "Young lady is also worried."
"Don't worry, just take everything back. I'm not a man like this. Don't run here if you have nothing to do in the future."
"Uncle, do you really don't want it?"
"don't want……"
"Oh, then... then Xiaocui is gone."
"Go ahead."
Xiaocui glanced at Bai Song twice, then reluctantly picked up the package.
Just as he was about to leave, Bai Song suddenly thought of something: "Wait."
"Um?"
"Please go outside for a moment. I have something I want you to bring to Xiang'er."
"My uncle, just leave the things to Xiaocui, why do you have to go out and wait?"
"If you want to go out, go out. Why do you talk so much?"
"oh."
Xiaocui glanced at Bai Song suspiciously and walked out of the room.
Xiao Cui waited outside for a quarter of an hour and was called back by Bai Song.
"Uncle, what exactly do you want to bring?"
Bai Song lay on the bed, stretched out a hand, and held a smooth object shaped like a pen holder.
Xiao Cui was immediately confused. It wasn't that strange when she saw this thing, but the material was quite good, smooth and tight, and there were only two obvious buttons in the center.
