MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family-Chapter 74 Meet Dr. Du again
Chapter 74 Meeting Dr. Du again
"Why?" Gu Dashan said anxiously: "These are the medicinal materials that my little fish has saved all the way, and they are all good medicinal materials!"
His voice was a bit loud, and other drug boys, apprentices, doctors, and patients in the pharmacy heard the voice and looked over.
Gu Dashan was a little embarrassed. He bowed slightly and said to the medicine boy in a low voice: "This little brother, our medicinal materials are really good. We caught colds on the road and were cured by taking these medicinal materials."
Gu Dashan knew that Gu Jinli treasured these medicinal materials, and he was thinking of saving them and selling them for money. If he couldn't sell them, his children would be greatly affected.
The medicine boy said: "Uncle, we really can't accept your medicinal materials."
Gu Dashan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead when he saw that the medicine boy still refused to accept the medicinal materials.
Gu Jinli took a step forward and smiled at the medicine boy: "What is this big brother worried about? If you are not at ease, you can ask the doctor in the shop to test all the medicinal materials. We live in Dafeng Village, Qingfu Town. In that village in Dafeng Mountain, our family’s surname is Gu, we are a well-known and honest family, and we will never sell questionable medicinal materials.”
The medicine boy refused to accept her medicinal materials, probably because he was afraid that she would add other things to the medicinal materials, and they were strangers and came here to escape the famine. Just like duckweed, if there was something wrong with the medicinal materials, the drug shop was afraid that her family would not be able to take responsibility. , let the drug store take responsibility.
I guess she is afraid that her family has been bribed to deliberately frame the drug store.
When the medicine boy heard what she said, he looked at her and said, "Little girl, if you can say these words, it shows that you know some rules. Then you should know that these are the rules passed down from generation to generation. You are here to escape the famine. If you don’t have an acquaintance to recommend you as a guarantor, if you want to sell these medical or imported things, no shop will dare to accept them.”
Grandpa San knows this rule, and so does Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture.
If a local goes to a shop to sell imported goods, he just needs to leave his name and home address, and the shop will accept them. But if outsiders go to sell, the shop won't accept them, for fear that the seller is a ghost and they won't be found if something goes wrong.
Third Grandpa knew that this matter was difficult to handle. They couldn't buy their medicinal materials based on other people's opinions. He wanted to give up, but thinking about Gu Jinli's efforts to protect these medicinal materials along the way, he shamelessly asked the medicine boy: " This little brother, can you call the shopkeeper of your pharmacy and let us talk to him face to face?"
When the medicine boy heard this, he looked very unhappy: "Old man, you don't understand the rules when you say this. Which shop's shopkeeper can be seen by anyone?"
There are so many people coming and going in a day, and everyone who comes has to see the shopkeeper, wouldn’t it be a mess?
Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this, and said to Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan: "Third Grandpa, dad, let's go."
She can wait until she finds a guarantor to sell these medicinal materials, but she doesn’t want Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan to be ridiculed for her sake.
Qin Sanlang wanted to help, but this was Qingfu Town, not Longshan Prefecture, nor in the border military camp. He couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Third Grandpa sighed and called to Gu Dashan: "Let's go."
The medicine boy was relieved when he saw that they were willing to leave, and personally sent them out.
“Dashan? Xiaoyu? The one in front is Dashan’s nephew from the old Gu family in Gujia Village?!”
They had just walked out of the pharmacy door a few steps when they heard an excited voice coming from the pharmacy.
Gu Jinli and the others stopped and looked back, and saw an old man wearing an old cotton-padded jacket standing at the doorway to the backyard from the medicine shop, carrying a medicine box on his back, craning his neck to look at them.
Gu Jinli had good eyesight and recognized at a glance that this was Doctor Du, who had been treating her injuries for several days: "Dad, it's Doctor Du, the Doctor Du from our hometown town!" "Oh, it's really Doctor Du." Gu Dashan saw it. Doctor Du, hurriedly greeted Third Grandpa, and they returned to the drug store.
Doctor Du trotted over with a medicine box on his back. When he saw them, he burst into tears: "Brother Gu, Dashan, Xiaoyu, it's you... I didn't expect to meet you here. This is really..."
Doctor Du's voice was choked with sobs and he couldn't speak for a while. He paused for a while and asked: "How is your family? Home, family members...are you okay?"
Doctor Du has experienced evil people killing victims. Many people died that night, including the Gu family, so he didn't dare to ask.
The third grandfather and Gu Dashan also had red eyes. They were excited and emotional to meet acquaintances from their hometown thousands of miles away.
Third Grandpa said: "Well, although we suffered a lot on the road, our family and the Dashan family are all fine. Now we have settled down in Dafeng Village and have become villagers of Dafeng Village."
He asked Dr. Du again: "Where is your family settled now? Is it far away from Dafeng Village?"
Doctor Du said: "It's not too far, not too far. It's just in Chenjia Village in the south."
"Isn't this far? Chenjiacun is nearly thirty miles away from Dafeng Village. It takes more than an hour to walk, and we have to walk through the mountains for a while." A man wearing a gray cotton-faced long coat with a rosy face and a An old man with a goatee's white beard walked over with his hands behind his back. After taking a look at them, he said to Doctor Du: "There are many people here and this is not the place for conversation. Come with me to the backyard and you can have a nice chat."
Doctor Du was very happy and thanked the old man: "Thank you very much, Dr. Wu." It can be seen that they are not familiar with each other, and they must have just met.
Old doctor Wu waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, let's go."
He pointed to the two sacks Gu Jinli was carrying and said, "Are these medicinal materials in them? Let's pick them up in the backyard."
The medicine boy was very aware of the opportunity. When he heard this, he hurriedly said to Gu Jinli: "Little girl, this is the master and shopkeeper of our medicine shop. Why don't you pick out your medicinal materials?"
Gu Jinli smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, and he said to old doctor Wu, "Thank you, Grandpa Wu." She picked up the medicinal materials, said hello to Qin Sanlang, and followed several adults towards the backyard.
Qin Sanlang didn't know Doctor Du, so he didn't follow him in. Instead, he looked at the baskets from several houses outside.
Xuanhufang is a shop with a front store and a back house. The backyard is very large, like half an acre of land. There are many shelves. On each shelf is a large round sieve, and various medicinal materials are dried in the sieve.
There was a square table and a few small wooden stools under the eaves. Doctor Wu asked them to sit down and talk in a kind tone.
After everyone sat down, Doctor Du asked them what happened after they were separated. After learning that they had been waiting at the foot of the mountain where the villains killed the victims for three days, Doctor Du patted his thigh and said, "Hey! I should have known where you were waiting. , I should go find you?"
He wiped away tears again: "If I had followed you and waited at the foot of the mountain for a few more days, we in the Du family would not have died with only a dozen or so left."
After they learned that the villains had left, they ran out of their hiding place and continued eastward. When they arrived at Yongtai Mansion, they encountered officers and soldiers from Yongtai Mansion killing people. They could not escape, and many members of the Du family were killed. Only a dozen people escaped.
As for their family, only he, an eight-year-old grandson, and a five-year-old granddaughter were left.
