Traveling through ancient times to survive
Chapter 6: A Visitor from the County
A bottle of golden wound medicine and a bottle of intermittent ointment cost four taels of silver. Zhao Qing felt extremely heartbroken. The recovery pill in the mall that could heal Zhao Chengchuan's entire body injuries in an instant only cost forty-nine taels. But since he had already said that his father was seriously injured and needed treatment, and now that he had received a considerable sum of money, he had to buy medicine for his father.
After the deal was done, Zhao Qing left through the back door with a fifty-liang silver note, three ten-liang silver notes, nine liang of silver in cash, and two bottles of medicine.
Zhao Qing couldn't wait to leave the city without taking a stroll around the county. At the city gate, a luxurious convoy of ten carriages blocked the entire passage.
Leading the way was a two-horse carriage with two horses with long flowing manes. The main body of the carriage was made of ebony with exquisite wood carvings on it. The wooden door opened and a beautiful woman dressed as a maid came down.
The beautiful woman handed over a silver ingot with an arrogant look on her face: "My young master is the son of the prefect. He is returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Why don't you get out of the way!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your reward. I will clear the obstacles for you right away."
Zhao Qing followed the crowd and stayed away from the convoy. It took him a while to get out of the city, get on the ox cart and go home.
On the way, Zhao Qing couldn't wait to take out a ten-liang silver note to recharge, "Silver note is fine. It seems that I don't have to go out of my way to exchange for silver in the future." Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, recharged all the silver notes, and left nine liang of silver to take home.
The medicine at home had been finished, so Zhao Qing returned to the town and went to the pharmacy to get half a month's worth of medicine. He also bought ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of fine noodles, and thirty-five kilograms of corn from the grain shop, a total of four hundred and sixty coins, until he had spent all the money from selling the game.
On the way home, Zhao Qing went to the same place where he had barbecued last time. He hid the cart and opened the mall to buy two kilograms of spiritual meat and one kilogram of spiritual fruit.
During this period, I recharged intermittently, purchased spiritual food, and with the big recharge just now, my points have now reached.
I still need more than fifty taels to buy the locator, so I have to keep saving money. My father, who is lying at home, will use spiritual food to nourish himself first, and then I will use the recovery pills to wait until I get the locator. I will grill a pound of spiritual meat and go home after eating.
Zhao Qing went around the back of the house and put the remaining venison, deer bones and some internal organs onto the cart before turning back to the door.
"Dad, I was lucky today. I caught a wild boar and a roe deer in a trap. We sold them for more than nine taels. I also bought medicine for half a month and some food. There were mountain people selling wild deer meat in town today. I heard it is very nutritious, so I bought ten pounds of meat and ten pounds of bones. The stall owner also gave me the internal organs. After buying the things, I still have six taels of silver. Here it is."
Zhao Chengchuan took the money and sighed, "Qingya now earns more than Dad! Save the money first, and pay Dad back slowly after he recovers. If your grandparents find out about paying back now, they'll come over and make a scene."
"Okay, Dad. I met an old doctor on the road who went into the mountains to look for medicine. He had been lost in the mountains for several days and was starving when he first came out. I roasted a pheasant for him. When he knew someone in my family was injured, he gave me two bottles of medicine."
Zhao Qing took out two bottles of medicine and suggested, "I secretly tried it on a wild rabbit on the road. I don't know if it works well, but it's not poisonous. Dad, do you want to give it a try?"
"Then give it a try."
Zhao Qing helped Zhao Chengchuan untie the bandages on his wounds, sprinkled medicine on his abdomen, smeared ointment on the bones of his legs, and then applied the medicines he got in the town one by one, changed the cloth strips and bandaged them.
"Dad, I'm going to make medicine and cook first!"
Zhao Qing put two pounds of deer bones, one pound of deer meat, and one ounce of spirit meat into a pot with cold water, blanched them to remove the fishy smell, and then made soup. He cut the internal organs into shreds and soaked them in water, and marinated the remaining meat with salt.
"Sister, it smells so good!" Zhao Dezhang ran into the kitchen from outside grabbing a handful of wild vegetables.
"My elder sister went to the town to buy some venison and bones today. We will have some bone soup later." Zhao Qing turned around and took out a handful of spiritual fruits from the wooden shelf in the kitchen and handed them to Zhao Dezhang. "My elder sister found some wild fruits in the mountains. Let's eat some to fill our stomachs first."
Zhao Dezhang took the wild fruit and said, "Big sister, eat some too."
"My eldest sister has eaten in the mountains, and there is some left for my parents. Everyone has enough to eat. Don't worry about your young age. Be careful that you don't grow tall."
The moonlight shines on the earth, the stars dot the night sky, and the Dashan Village is silent in the night, but at this time, the Wang family located in the central area of the county town is brightly lit.
In the Wang family's lobby, the wooden floor was covered with exquisite carpets, and the curling smoke of burning incense dispelled the decadent smell in the house.
Wang Xun, a pampered young man dressed in brocade robe, is leaning on a throne made of golden nanmu wood. On his left stands a beautiful maid, who peels and pits a loquat with her slender fingers and carefully feeds it to the man's mouth. On his right, another maid is kneeling on the ground, massaging his legs carefully to loosen his leg muscles and bones.
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler stood below and bowed to report: "Master, the Crane Garden has been cleaned up according to your request, but the rest of the house has not been tidied up yet. I think it is getting late and I am afraid of disturbing your rest. Should I ask the servants to stop first?"
Wang Xun waved his hand slightly, and the two maids retreated respectfully. "Stop for today. By the way, Steward Wang, there are more important things to do tomorrow."
"Yes, Master, please give your orders."
"Make every effort to purchase food, cloth, charcoal, and medicinal materials, especially those for preventing colds and flu. There is no limit on the quantity. Be careful not to leak the news."
"Yes, young master."
"Go back."
"Old slave, please retire."
Steward Wang left, leaving Wang Xun alone in the empty hall. He complained quietly, "I don't know what's wrong with my father. I'm the legitimate son of a prefect, but I'm sent to such a rural place and have to buy some nonsense. Does father want me to engage in a lowly business in the future?"
Wang Xun stood up with an ugly and helpless look on his face. He smashed the porcelain cup beside him and shouted, "Someone, come here! Where are they all? I need to take a bath and change my clothes!"
Not to mention how furious Wang Xun was in the Wang family's old house, the prefectural government in Yingzhou far away was also not very peaceful at the moment.
The noble lady finally caught the man who was returning from work. She said with tears in her eyes, "Master, what did Xun'er do wrong to be so cruelly sent to He County? What should Xun'er do in such a poor and remote place, where there is no one to take care of him? It's been half a month and I don't know if he has arrived yet? It's been a tiring journey, and Xun'er is so delicate, how can he withstand the wind and frost on the road?"
Wang Yuan: "A loving mother often spoils her son. It is because of a mother like you who dotes on him that he is such a good-for-nothing! He is still a young man and is not good at either literature or martial arts. If he doesn't temper himself, how can he be the head of our Wang family?"
"Xun'er is still young. Master, find a job for Xun'er in the government office. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay with you and be taught by you personally?"
"He can't even pass the exam to become a scholar. If he stays in the city, he will only bring shame to me!"
Wang Yuan did not want to explain to his wife the other arrangement for his son. "Look at your spoiled son. You should stay at home and reflect on yourself!" After saying that, Wang Yuan turned away.
