Shen Jiarou, who returned home late, went to Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei's room to explain, and Uncle Tian gave her serious instructions.

"Girl, be careful next time."

A little girl is afraid of being approached by people with bad intentions.

Uncle Hei's leg injury recovered well, and during his boring days, he taught Shen Jiarou Qinggong.

Shen Jiarou, who was already interested in martial arts, was very happy when she heard this.

I practiced every day and half a month passed in a flash.

The old man's boss also started to feel better and his appetite improved a lot.

As long as people can eat, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Shen Jiarou still goes up the mountain often, and sometimes Uncle Hei will accompany her.

Thanks to Uncle Hei's intervention, we often return with a full load.

Shen Jiarou often went to visit the old man and never came empty-handed.

They either bring pheasants, wild rabbits, or mother fish from the river, as well as wild fruits and vegetables from the mountains.

It cost almost dozens of taels of silver to treat the illness of my uncle's grandmother. If she wants to be well taken care of, she also needs to pay attention to her diet. She will have to be taken care of for another two or three months, which costs a lot of money. However, it was all paid by Shen Jiarou.

Another month was almost up, and Shen Jiarou knew that Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei might be leaving.

She also asked the old man to take her to the county town, where she saw horses and bought three more horses.

Two horses were given to Uncle Tian and his men for their journey, and one was kept for himself.

I have gained a lot in this month.

The silver earned from selling medicinal herbs was about one thousand taels, and wild fruits like kiwis were sold for about 50 taels because of the large quantity.

In this era, learning a few hundred traditional Chinese characters is enough.

She can use her lightness skills to fly, and under the guidance of Uncle Hei, she also plays the slingshot to perfection.

If there are any pheasants, rabbits, fish, etc. at home that we don’t finish eating, we dry them and hang them in the kitchen, waiting for them to dry and be eaten at any time.

That day, Shen Jiarou went to the town to buy a lot of seasonings, and also bought vegetables from the aunts in the village.

Looking at the vegetables, meat and condiments in the kitchen, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

How should I make this farewell dish? If I stir-fry it, it will seem too cumbersome.

After thinking about it, I decided to make hotpot.

Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei had never eaten it this way, but they didn't care about that much when they were outside, so they just ate it the way the girl cooked it.

Uncle Hei helped with cleaning the meat, lighting the fire, etc., and everything else was taken care of by Shen Jiarou.

Half an hour later, the job was done and the three of them sat around the table and started eating.

Halfway through, Shen Jiarou suddenly remembered that she should buy some wine, so she hurriedly took it out.

"Hey, girl, you also bought some wine."

Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei were a little surprised.

"I bought two jars when I saw them and brought them back for you to try."

If she knew how to drink liquor, she would definitely take a couple of sips.

Uncle Hei went to the kitchen and got two bowls.

"Girl, we uncles will not be polite."

This girl is so thoughtful.

Shen Jiarou waved her hand and spoke with a chuckle.

"You're welcome. You'll be fine after you drink it."

We are all leaving soon, and we don't know whether we will meet again in the future, so what's the big deal about drinking a jar of wine together?

Uncle Tian, ​​who hadn't drunk alcohol for more than a month, asked Uncle Hei to accompany him to finish two jars of wine.

The kindness the girl gave them cannot be wasted.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them sat in the yard looking at the starry sky at night.

The fireflies in autumn are still there, one here and one there from time to time, making the night sky even more beautiful.

The next morning, Shen Jiarou got up early and made breakfast. She ate and drank enough before she had the strength to leave.

"Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei, eat first before you leave. There is no rush."

The two people looked at each other when they walked out of the room, then walked to the stool as if to eat the rich breakfast that Shen Jiarou had prepared for them.

After eating, Uncle Tian took out a jade pendant from his pocket and gave it to her, and reminded her not to lose it.

"Girl, we'll see each other later. This is the jade pendant Uncle Tian gave you. You must not lose it. It can save your life when necessary."

It can also be used in special circumstances, but he didn't say that.

Shen Jiarou walked Uncle Tian and Uncle Hei all the way to the door, but they didn't let her continue.

"Girl, go back and take good care of yourself."

The two men quickly mounted their horses, waved to Shen Jiarou, and rode away.

Seeing the people and horses walking further and further away on the path, Shen Jiarou felt a little sad and tried hard to hold back her tears.

She turned around and went back to the house and lay down to sleep, as if she didn't want to continue to be immersed in sadness.

After spending a day in a daze, Shen Jiarou cheered up and started writing with water.

Thinking about the nearly a thousand common Chinese characters that Uncle Tian taught her during the one month he was there, she must practice them well and not forget them.

Although many people in this era are illiterate, it is always good to know.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Shen Jiarou felt confused.

"Who is it?"

The person outside the door heard Shen Jiarou's voice and spoke quickly.

"Girl Yi Yi, I'm Uncle Qin. Could you please open the door for me?"

village head?

Seeing how anxious he was taking the photo, maybe he had something urgent to tell him.

When the village chief was about to speak again, the door suddenly opened and a neatly dressed girl came into view.

Shen Jiarou saw that he looked a little anxious and asked him softly.

"Uncle Village Chief, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Girl, this is the case. Can you lend me your horse? Your aunt is sick and I want to take her to see a doctor."

He seemed to have seen the girl buy a horse two days ago, so he came to borrow it today.

"Uncle Village Chief, I can lend you a horse, but do you know how to ride it?"

As soon as Shen Jiarou finished speaking, the village chief was stunned.

Yes, it doesn’t know how to ride, so isn’t it useless to borrow it?

What to do?

Seeing the village chief getting so anxious in front of her, Shen Jiarou felt helpless.

Borrowing a horse is no problem, but riding a horse is also a problem.

Finally, when Shen Jiarou and the village chief had reached an agreement, the old man happened to arrive driving a ox cart, and they asked the old man to take them to the town.

"Slow down."

Uncle Zhong saw Shen Jiarou and a middle-aged man helping a woman get off the ox cart, and the man driving the ox cart happened to be that old man.

While I was thinking, I had already arrived at the door.

"What's going on here?"

After Shen Jiarou helped the village chief to comfort his wife, she hurriedly spoke to Uncle Zhong.

"Uncle Zhong, our village chief's wife is sick and wants you to take a look."

At this time, Uncle Zhong had already observed the woman's appearance.

Uncle Zhong looked at the sickly woman and quickly asked them to come into the house. He laid the patient down in the inner room and began to take her pulse.

When he finished his careful inspection, the village chief's anxious voice came.

"Doctor, is my wife seriously ill?"

Uncle Zhong glanced at them and saw that the patient was now awake.

She was so confused that she didn't know where she was. She saw the unfamiliar environment and the people standing next to her, two of whom she didn't recognize.

But she happened to hear what the village chief said, and it turned out that she was in the pharmacy.

When she was about to struggle, Shen Jiarou quickly stopped her.

"Aunt, you are not feeling well, please lie down first."

The village chief's wife had no choice but to lie down. Uncle Zhong's words were interrupted just now, and she looked at Uncle Zhong again.

I asked weakly, "Doctor, can my disease be cured?"

Uncle Zhong then fell into deep thought.

"You can be saved, but you are too thin and weak. You need to be well taken care of. Not only do you need to take medicine for a few months, but you also need to keep up with your daily nutrition."

When the village chief heard this, he immediately asked, "Doctor, how much silver do these medicines cost?"

I don’t know if he has enough silver.

"How about this, since you know the girl, I won't charge you for the consultation. Just pay for the medicine, ten taels of silver."

Hearing this, the village chief became anxious, but he only had 5 taels of silver on him, so what should he do?

"Well, Doctor, I only have five taels of silver on me. Can you help me get five taels of silver first?"

He would think of a way to get the rest. Actually, as an ordinary citizen, where could he get 5 taels of silver all at once?

Shen Jiarou couldn't bear to watch it.

"Uncle Zhong, I'll help the village chief pay the remaining five taels of silver. By the way, does my aunt still have to live here?"

She understood what Uncle Zhong meant, that the patient was not suitable to be moved at the moment.

The village head's wife on the hospital bed said anxiously, "Girl, how can I ask you to pay? You are still a child."

Shen Jiarou didn't want to listen to her nagging, because the more impatient she spoke, the worse it was for her health.

"Aunt, your health is the most important thing. Once you are well, anything is possible."

The village chief repeatedly stated that he would definitely return the money to her in the future.

Having said that, how are they going to pay back the five taels of silver in the future?

At this time, the village chief and his wife did not know what would happen next.

They had to provide for themselves their food and other things. They had no money, so in the end they had to rely on Shen Jiarou.
