Cheng Qingwen tilted his head and didn't understand why Cheng Hua'er had such a big reaction.
"Auntie, you still need to take medicine when you are sick."
"I know my own safety, don't waste money." The woman took the girl's hand and said, "I just saw the pearl hairpin over there that suits you very well. Let's buy it for you as a dowry."
"I don't want a pearl hairpin." Cheng Qinghan frowned and pulled her into the drug store: "You can buy a pearl hairpin in the future, but you are different."
The woman opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She watched her daughter take the medicine and hesitantly handed over a tael of silver.
Cheng Qingwen took the medicine out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
The mother and daughter were carrying large and small bags of things and walking on the way back to the village.
Cheng Qingwen looked at the endless road and curled her lips. This would be a weight-bearing exercise...
Before she had taken a few steps, she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. She subconsciously turned around and saw four or five people riding tall horses coming this way.
The leading boy was dressed in dark clothes, and his cold eyes swept over the girl, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Cheng Huaer grabbed his daughter who was distracted and took her to the roadside.
Cheng Qinghan came back to her senses and looked at the person disappearing in front of her. Her desire to ride a horse reached its peak.
As she walked with the things, she called the system in her head.
"Xiaoxiao, how much does wheat and flour cost per pound in this dynasty?"
"Wheat is six cents per catty, flour is eight cents per catty." The system paused, and then said: "It takes twenty cents to grind ten catties of wheat into flour."
"oh oh."
Cheng Qingwen responded twice. Before he could ask the question about the side mission, he heard the sound of horse hooves again.
She looked along the sound, but she didn't expect that it was Yuan Qi who came back and stopped in front of her.
Cheng Qingwen looked at him doubtfully, thinking that he had something to say to her, but she didn't expect that after a while, he still hadn't spoken.
"What's the matter, sir?"
Yuan Qi lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice: "The doctor can't ride a horse, so he took a carriage. I'll wait for him here."
Cheng Qingwen nodded subconsciously, pulled Cheng Hua'er and wanted to move forward.
"If you're not in a hurry, just wait here for a while and we'll take the carriage back together later."
"Am I going the same way, sir?" Cheng Qingwen turned around and asked.
"Same road." Yuan Qi said, "I have decided to stay in Songjia Village."
As soon as Cheng Qingwen heard that he was going the same way, he immediately put down the things in his hands, moved a stone with a smile and sat down to wait.
After a while, the carriage arrived. The mother and daughter got on the carriage and found that not only the doctor was there, but also two men whom they had not seen yesterday.
No one was familiar with him, so the carriage was too quiet along the way.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.
Cheng Qingwen got off the carriage and found that his home was in front of him. He quickly walked to the front and thanked Yuanqi.
"You're welcome. This time I'll just thank you girl for pointing me in the direction last night."
After Yuanqi finished speaking, he went to the village chief's house.
Cheng Qingwen stood there, tilting her head, thinking about what she said yesterday, and pointed him in the direction.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and she remembered the words she casually said yesterday. Could it be that she had guessed it right? Did the village chief really bribe the pavilion chief?
"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Hua'er had already moved the things in, looked at the people who were stunned, and asked softly.
"Nothing." Cheng Qingwen shook her head, picked up the rice noodles on the ground and walked into the house.
After the mother and daughter moved their things in, they sat on chairs and rested for a while.
Afterwards, Cheng Qingwen fried the medicine and walked to the backyard with the kettle.
It hadn't rained for a few days, and the land where the wheat was grown was a little dry. She held a kettle and watered it while thinking about what to do next.
There has been little progress in the two tasks assigned by the system. To improve planting technology, we have to wait until the food matures, so we can only find a miracle doctor first.
However, Songjiacun is so xenophobic, how can he truthfully tell her where the miracle doctor is?
Forget it, let's wait until night and ask my mother-in-law which family in this village is easier to talk to.
Cheng Qingwen put down the kettle and rubbed his waist. Turning his eyes, he saw the bamboo forest on the mountain not far away.
Now in early March, there must be winter bamboo shoots under such a large bamboo forest. If I dig a basket and deliver it to someone's home, it will be easy to ask questions.
As the saying goes, it's not strange to be polite to many people.
With this thought in mind, she quickly walked into the house and said to Cheng Hua'er who was doing embroidery work: "Mom, I planted the seeds. I'll go to the mountain to see if I can dig some winter bamboo shoots."
The woman raised her head and glanced at the ground in the backyard, said a few gentle words, and then continued her embroidery work.
Cheng Qingwen walked up the mountain with a hoe and sickle on her back. Fortunately, she majored in agriculture, otherwise she would not be able to bear this.
She climbed into the bamboo forest, selected a bamboo with soft soil, and immediately started to hoe it.
After a while, the pointed head of the winter bamboo shoot popped out. She quickly dug it out and threw it into the frame behind her.
Cheng Qingwen walked to the bamboo with cracks in the soil on the other side, and dug one winter bamboo shoot after another into the frame.
Seeing that the weight on her back was getting heavier, she suddenly thought that the remaining bamboo shoots could be sold in the town.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know how much winter bamboo shoots cost per pound in this dynasty?"
While she was digging bamboo shoots, she was talking to the system in her mind.
"Bamboo shoots were called magnolia slices in this dynasty, and they cost fifty cents per catty."
"This price seems unaffordable to ordinary people. I'll go to a restaurant or the kitchen of a wealthy merchant in a few days and ask."
Xiaoxiao didn't reply. Watching the sun go down little by little, Cheng Qinghan took a look at the basket and decided to go home.
Before I took a few steps, I heard the sound of the system blaring loudly.
"Don't go any further. Behind the bamboo forest five meters away, there is a wild boar weighing nearly 200 kilograms."
When Cheng Qinghan heard this, he subconsciously looked over there, and he happened to be eye-to-eye with the wild boar.
The next moment, it let out a low roar, causing the few swallows in the bamboo forest to fly away in haste.
The girl looked at its sharp fangs and couldn't help but clenched the sickle in her hand.
Just when he was about to slowly retreat, the wild boar went crazy and rushed forward.
Cheng Qingwen quickly jumped to the side and escaped the disaster.
"Xiaoxiao, is there anything in the mall that can kill it?"
"Yes, it's a military pistol. It kills with one shot. However, it requires one thousand points to use it once. Have you thought about it?"
While Cheng Qingwen was avoiding the wild boar's attack vigorously, she was talking to the system in her mind: "One thousand points, just one thousand points, it's better than me dying at the hands of the wild boar now."
"Okay, I'll redeem it for you right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pistol appeared in the girl's hand. She aimed it at the wild boar's head and fired a single shot. The huge beast in front of her fell down and made no sound after struggling for a few times.
The pistol in his hand also disappeared the moment he fired.
Cheng Qinghan leaned on the bamboo and looked at the motionless wild boar in shock.
"Host, the system has automatically deducted your debt. You still owe 888 points to the mall. Please complete the task as soon as possible to offset the debt." This chapter has been completed!
