After the treatment and washing, Zhusha lay on the massage table. Ma Xiaolong's hands were covered with the medicine and he rubbed it on her body so that her body could better absorb the medicine.
This medicine is an auxiliary medicine related to martial arts training that automatically appeared in Ma Xiaolong's mind after he raised his fists and kicks to level 5. These medicines have three levels: low, medium and high.
Low-end is a medicinal solution made from common herbal medicines, and the effect is actually quite good, but the key is that it is cheap; mid-range requires some expensive herbal preparations, which are more effective and more expensive than low-end; high-end has the best efficacy, but is also expensive
The most expensive ones are precious Chinese herbal medicines such as ginseng and polygonum multiflorum.
The liquid that Ma Xiaolong applied to Cinnabar was a mid-range liquid. It was not that he was reluctant to use high-end liquid, but it was really unnecessary.
With Cinnabar's strength in martial arts training, the low-range was more than enough. If Ma Xiaolong used the mid-range for her, it was already killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Because of the assistance of medicinal liquid, Cinnabar was able to endure such intense training without leaving any hidden injuries.
Applying liquid medicine is a physical job, and it also requires an accurate understanding of the acupoints, tendons, bones, and internal organs of the human body. Otherwise, applying it in the wrong place or in the wrong order will cause more injuries. So in the past few years, Ma Xiaolong has been the one to do it.
She applied the liquid.
It was fine in the first two years, but with the growth of Cinnabar last year, it made both of them a little embarrassed, but as time went by, both of them got used to it.
The reason why Ma Xiaolong said before, "Maybe she will be my wife in the future" was because of this.
You've already seen and touched everyone, and you still want to run away?
Ma Xiaolong doesn't have Neptune's thoughts. As long as he helps Cinnabar survive the calamity of death, he is determined to spend the rest of his life with her.
The only question is whether Cinnabar has this idea himself?
He could feel that Cinnabar liked him, but it was hard to say about feelings. If I were to make an oath to you today, maybe I would fall in love with you tomorrow. Before Cinnabar made it clear, he could only wait.
"Take it easy!"
While setting the bones of Zhusha's toes, Zhusha screamed in pain.
"Be patient." Ma Xiaolong said helplessly: "You shouldn't practice poking your feet. Your toes are almost deformed. If I hadn't set your bones, your toes would have been in trouble."
"The hands are two doors, and you rely on your feet to hit people. Killing the enemy and winning depends entirely on your feet, so there is no reason not to practice." Zhusha said one after another.
"Then just endure the pain." Ma Xiaolong corrected the position of Zhu Sha's toe bones bit by bit, and applied the medicine at the same time to let her toe bones absorb the medicine's effect and accelerate the toe bone's correct shape.
Zhu Sha was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat and gritted her teeth to endure it.
As she said herself, if you are afraid of pain, don't practice martial arts. If you practice martial arts, don't be afraid of pain. Just endure the pain.
…
After lunch, Zhusha went to take a nap, and Ma Xiaolong went to the drugstore to buy a few packets of Chinese herbal medicine and came back to boil the medicine.
Only Ma Xiaolong can boil the medicinal liquid, because the time and order of adding Chinese herbal medicine to the casserole needs to be accurate to the second. It is a world of difference. If you don't have three to five years of skill, you can't boil the medicinal liquid, but these three to five years are completely different.
It's a waste of medicinal materials, so you can't afford to learn it if you don't have a fortune of 100,000 yuan. This directly leads to the fact that the method of brewing this medicinal liquid has long been lost in the real world.
Xiaofang and Xiaowei finished their respective tasks and sat next to them to watch Ma Xiaolong brew the medicine, chatting with him to relieve their boredom.
"Alas!" Xiaofang suddenly sighed.
Ma Xiaolong was surprised: "Sister Xiaofang, what's wrong?"
"I'm going on a blind date when I go home this year." Xiaofang's eyes flashed with a hint of uneasiness about the future: "If I get married, I may stay at my husband's house and won't be able to be a nanny."
"Well……"
"Me too." Xiaowei smiled bitterly and said: "Girls in our village get married at 16 or 17 years old. People like me who are not married at the age of 20 are all old girls in the village who cannot get married. The husband's family must think that I have something.
What's wrong?"
"..." Ma Xiaolong smiled helplessly, thinking that in his previous life, rural women were always asking for 200,000 yuan in gifts. Looking at rural women now, things have really changed.
"Sister Xiaofang, Sister Xiaowei, haven't you ever thought about marrying into the city?" Ma Xiaolong said: "After you marry into the city, you don't have to work around the world. You can go back to your parents' home anytime you want. People in the city don't care.
this."
"Why don't you want to? But all the men in the city are taken over by the women in the city, so who will get us?" Xiaofang felt aggrieved.
Xiaowei said helplessly: "What can I do? Women in the city have dowries, but we don't have dowries in our village. Men in the city are not stupid. Unless they can't find a wife, who will marry a woman from our village?"
This is really an unsolvable problem, because the ratio of men to women in this era is relatively balanced. In addition, urban women will bring a dowry of equal value to the bride price when they get married, and rural women cannot compete at all.
As for the imbalance in the ratio of men to women? The imbalance is in rural areas. In cities, there have always been more women than men.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Ma Xiaolong comforted: "At least you are pretty, and you will definitely be able to find a good husband in the city."
"But since we don't have a dowry, we will definitely be looked down upon when we get to our in-laws' family." Xiaofang has no confidence. Dowry is a very practical issue. If you can't bring value to your in-laws' family, your family status will definitely not be good.
Ultimately, Xiaofang and Xiaowei were born in the wrong era. If they had been born twenty years later, they would have faced completely different situations.
"Sister Xiaofang, do you think this can be done?" Ma Xiaolong made a suggestion: "If your family doesn't give you a dowry, can you travel by yourself?"
"Ah!? Me?" Xiaofang was confused.
Ma Xiaolong nodded: "You have been working as a nanny in the Zhusha family for four years, and you have earned more than 10,000 yuan! It should be no problem to spend 5,000 yuan on the dowry with this money!"
"..." Xiaofang fell silent.
Xiaowei was about to speak but stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaolong was stunned: "Is there a problem?"
"No more."
Xiaofang's voice was very low, but Ma Xiaolong heard clearly: "What's missing?"
"The money is gone." Xiaofang said in a low mood: "It's all given to the family."
"..."
"Me too." Xiaowei's eyes were filled with bitterness: "My family has to build a house, my younger brothers and sisters have to pay tuition, and my mother is not in good health, so she has to spend money on medicine... The money I have earned in the past few years is almost intact.
Everything is left to the family."
"I am the eldest brother, and the second brother wants to marry a wife. Each wife costs five thousand, and all my money is used for them to find a wife." Xiaofang was even worse: "I have two younger brothers, and they also have to rely on me."
"..." Ma Xiaolong opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
This is not only a Fu Di Mo, but also a diamond-enhanced version of Fu Ge Mo... Who dares to marry this?
The biggest question is, how can you be so poor and still have five children? What a fuss!
"Alas!" Ma Xiaolong sighed and said, "I asked you to get married because I wanted to earn some betrothal gifts for the family! I guess I will have to ask your husband's family to support the family in the future, so I'm taking advantage of you."
"..." Xiaofang and Xiaowei were speechless.
"Don't be anxious." Ma Xiaolong added some herbs to the casserole and said, "When Zhusha wakes up, I will discuss it with her and see if I can come up with a solution for you."
Xiaofang and Xiaowei are the nannies of the Zhusha family. It is not for him to make decisions without authorization.
