The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying was still not satisfied and continued, "The Changshengku cheated you of your treasure, so why don't you study hard? Why don't I believe that you can't borrow money for the journey? If you are determined to fight to the death, you can borrow money even at high interest rates. Who knows, you may be the new county magistrate of Shang'an County by now, and no matter who is the boss behind the scenes, he won't dare to steal your heirloom, right?

Who are you bashing here? I told you I can't tell you what happened in detail. Anyone can tell that what I mean is that the things came from shady places. Are you trying to persuade me to surrender by kneeling down? "

"Song has absolutely no such intention!" Song Ji finally caught up and was able to say something.

"Then stand up quickly!"

When Song Ji stood there, Bai Tieying's finger just poked him on the forehead, making her so angry that she poked him three more times before she felt better.

"Don't be such a jerk. You have to take the exam first... Just go home and observe the mourning period. You can take the exam again in three years. That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself. We won't see each other again!"

Song Ji's face turned red with shame. He really didn't mean anything else, he just didn't know how to thank this young lady. She even poked him on the forehead and scolded him like she was scolding a child, even though he was obviously just a child.

Lao Ba opened his mouth wide, "Oh my God! Sister Tieying is so... so... so awesome, right?" He didn't know what to say.

"Old Eight, let's go, let's go, have you been smoked silly?"

"Sister Tieying, you looked so awesome just now! Even more awesome than my aunt!"

"Stop comparing me to that disgusting thing!"

"Hey! Okay! Sister Tieying..."

The two chatted and rode away on the road. Song Ji came out from behind the elm tree, holding the handkerchief in his hand, and said to himself: "Tieying..."

When the two of them entered the city and were about to ride their horses to Xiangyun Temple, they heard someone calling "Tieying" nearby. Bai Tieying turned around and saw that it was Mu Qingqiu.

"Tie Ying, where have you been? General Zhao sent people to look for you, and only then did he find out that you had left the city."

"Can I get lost? Please don't treat me like a three-year-old child, okay?"

"Uh..." Mu Qingqiu thought so too. His real age was not what he looked like.

"Sister Tieying, who is this?" Lao Ba asked, raising his head.

"Oh, you can call him Qiu Ge'er."

"Hello, Brother Qiu! You can call me Lao Ba."

Mu Qingqiu was naturally curious about where this child came from. After asking, she learned that they were going to Xiangyun Temple, so she begged to go with them.

With horses in the city, they arrived at Xiangyun Temple in no time. However, Lao Ba did not take them through the mountain gate, but through several alleys and went around to the back of Xiangyun Temple.

Sure enough, there was a row of shacks leaning against the back wall of Xiangyun Temple, using the wall as a shield from the wind. Outside the shacks was a brick stove, on which sat a half-broken pottery jar with a large hole in it, steam coming out of it, with bursts of medicinal smell wafting out of the jar, apparently someone was boiling some herbs.

"Sixth Brother, Tenth Brother, I'm back! Come and see! I came back on a big horse!"

Lao Ba yelled and called out a child. The child was about ten years old, with his upper body naked and wearing a pair of pants that were obviously given by someone else and were folded in many places because they were too long. He ran out and saw a girl, and was so scared that he immediately went back to the shack, cursing:

"You stinky old man, stupid old man, don't you know that Grandpa's clothes are worn by Fourteen?"

"Oh, no! Old Ten, you called my name again! So many of us heard it, just wait for Old Two to beat you up!"

"Grandpa is calling me, he is calling me, what can you do to me? Grandpa doesn't believe that the two nobles will wait for the second brother to come back just to see me get beaten! Ouch!" The tenth brother, who came out wearing a piece of sackcloth and quarreled with the eighth brother, fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch".

"Keep your mouth clean!" Mu Qingqiu shouted angrily.

"Master... please forgive me! Look at my mouth! I deserve a beating, I deserve a beating!" After falling to the ground, the tenth old man wanted to curse, but after hearing Mu Qingqiu's words, he knew that it was he who made him suffer, so he immediately changed his words and pretended to slap himself twice.

"Are you the tenth brother?" Bai Tieying asked.

"Hey! To answer the young lady, I am the tenth brother. I didn't know you were stepping into my humble place. I am naked, please forgive me!"

"Haha, no need to be so pretentious. Lao Ba and I have known each other for a while, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help you?"

"Oh, you came at the perfect time! Our sixth child is sick, and we have no money to buy medicine. I can only go to the cemetery in the west to pick some motherwort and boil it for her to drink. It would be great if you could help to find a doctor!"

"Oh? How about letting me take a look first?"

"Can you treat illnesses?"

"I've learned a little bit, so if it's just a simple cold, it should be no problem."

"Well, all right, please come this way. Old Six is ​​lying inside. Please don't be offended! She is too sick to get up, so I didn't ask her to come out to greet you!"

"Guess my last name?"

"Ah? There's no way for you to guess, kid!"

"I thought you would guess my last name is 'Yuan'! The 'Yuan' of 'Yuan Datou'! Otherwise why would you be so rude at first and respectful later? If someone didn't know, they would think you were after my wallet!"

"Hehehe!" Old Eight covered his mouth and laughed secretly behind his back. Has Old Ten met his match this time?

"Young lady, look at what you are saying. Am I that kind of person?"

"It's quite similar."

"Eh..."

"Okay, stop wasting time!" Bai Tieying interrupted Lao Shi and pulled out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his face with it. "Don't think too much! I just don't want to be infected. After all, who isn't a child?"

The annoyance that Lao Shi had just felt in his heart was blocked by Bai Tieying, so he could only smile awkwardly and reply, "No, how can that be possible!"

This shack was located right in the middle of a row of shacks. Lao Ba said that the two of them slept together. It seemed that the younger child slept here, because Bai Tieying also saw a quilt and guessed that there were four children living here.

Bai Tieying walked in, squatted, and pulled down the quilt on Lao Liu - it was so light!

Lao Liu had a slight fever. Bai Tieying felt his pulse and thought it was just a cold. But because he had a fever, she couldn't prescribe medicine herself. She turned around and went out, pulling down her handkerchief, and told Mu Qingqiu her symptoms, asking him to help find a doctor and bring the right herbs to save time.

Mu Qingqiu left, and Bai Tieying left the shack and looked around. These five shacks looked OK from a distance, but not so good up close. Except for the one in the middle which was fairly solid, the others were probably built by the children themselves. It was no different from sleeping outdoors, with holes all over the shack. I really don't know how they survived the winter!
