Chapter 7 Gift of Bamboo Card
Preparing the medicine was very simple, she didn't even have to explain, "Ya Ya" had already prepared it for her.
But we have to wait until tomorrow to deliver it to them. If we deliver it too early, it might arouse the suspicion of that young master.
How can anyone dispense medicine so quickly? Isn't that just fooling people?
Come back after a day or two, that would be a more reasonable time.
But what should she do if she has nothing to do? Her parents and brother seem to treat her like a treasure and don't ask her to do anything.
It made her feel like she didn't exist.
When they got home, their mother Yao Meixian had already prepared dinner. When their three younger brothers saw her come back, they quickly put down the work in their hands, washed their hands, and prepared to eat.
The older brother Du Wenjun is fifteen years old, about 1.7 meters tall, tall and thin, with messy, dry and yellow hair.
The second younger brother, Du Wenguan, is thirteen years old, about 1.5 meters tall, a little short, neither thin nor fat, and his facial features are like their mother, Yao Meixian.
The third brother, Du Wenhuo, is eleven years old, about 1.2 meters tall, and also very thin. His facial features are a bit like hers, just like their father.
Du Wanwan took a closer look at the original owner's father and found that he actually looked good, but he looked rather old due to years of hard work and not having enough to eat.
If he is taken care of carefully, he will probably become a handsome middle-aged man.
In her previous life, she was a loner without parents or brothers. After coming here, she suddenly had so many relatives and she felt a little uncomfortable with the new environment.
Fortunately, the original owner didn't talk much before, which fits her personality. If the original owner was a chatterbox, it would be bad, and her family would definitely be able to tell that she was not the original owner.
They were about to flee famine, and according to the custom in the village, the family only had two meals a day. Du Wanwan was not used to it, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Fortunately, there is food in her space, and when she is hungry, "Ya Ya" will send her delicious food.
The next day, Du Wanwan was in a very good mood after giving the prepared medicine to Ye Tingxiao and receiving a hundred taels of silver.
"Miss Du! Where are you planning to go to escape the famine?"
"have no idea."
Ye Tingxiao’s question was really strange. She was just a little girl, how would she know where to go?
My mind raced, and I immediately understood: "Sir, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Let's go to Liang County!" Ye Tingxiao said, pulling out a small green bamboo sign from his sleeve and handing it over. "When you get there, if the gatekeeper won't let you in, show this to him, and I guarantee that your family will be able to settle down in Liang County."
"Liang County?"
Du Wanwan took the bamboo plaque and looked at it. It was a plaque one finger long and two fingers wide, made of bamboo. There were patterns carved on the front, but no words. There were words on the back, the traditional Chinese character "壹", and nothing else.
The bamboo sign was painted green and tied with a red string, carrying the man's body temperature.
"Why are you helping me out of kindness? Are you plotting against my medical skills?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" His thoughts were seen through. Ye Tingxiao raised his fist to his lips and coughed fakely to cover it up, "It's not a bad idea if the girl wants to say that."
"Are you from Liang County?" Du Wanwan looked at Ye Tingxiao and frowned slightly. "People from Liang County are hiding in our village. There must be some unknown secrets."
I thought she was going to say something shocking, but she stopped herself and turned away.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Tingxiao: "I advise you not to use force on your wounds. Once the wounds burst, it will be very troublesome."
"How long will it take to recover completely?" Ye Tingxiao asked calmly.
"At least ten days."
"Thank you! I'll remember that!"
Du Wanwan was stunned for a moment, said nothing more, and turned away.
It's obvious at first glance that this man is not an ordinary citizen. He is full of righteousness. Yet, he came here and was injured so badly. This must be related to the war caused by the northern invaders.
Forget it, that's men's business, she doesn't need to worry about it.
What she has to worry about now is how to lead her family away from here safely and quickly and find a good place with mountains and rivers to resettle.
She has not decided whether to go to Liang County or not. It depends on whether that place is suitable for living.
Three days had passed and the Du family was preparing to flee the famine.
Du Wanwan asked her older brother Du Wenjun for a set of men's shorts and tied her hair like a man, which made the whole family very suspicious.
Yao Meixian pulled her daughter to look around, very puzzled: "Wanwan! Why did you turn yourself into a boy?"
Du Jiang took a look and gave the answer: "It's more convenient for boys to walk outside."
The three younger brothers looked as if they had suddenly understood something. They didn't say much, but just looked at her curiously.
Du Wanwan gave her father a thumbs up and praised him, "Dad is right. Before we leave, let's make it clear that when I'm out there, I'm not Du Wanwan, but Du Dalang."
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably remembered that classic line.
[Dalang! It's time to take medicine! ]
Yao Meixian nodded: "Mom will remember, your name is Du Dalang, and your given name is Du Wenwan."
The three younger brothers stood side by side, nodded in unison, and said in unison: "We all remember it."
"Good!" Du Wanwan praised them again, "Smart! From now on, I will be responsible for pushing the cart, as I am very strong. Dad can sit on the cart if he can't walk anymore. Mom and you should take care of your own things. Don't bring anything other than the necessities if you can."
Yao Meixian looked at her daughter and asked with difficulty: "Wanwan, what are necessities?"
"Food, clothes, quilts, cooking utensils, tables, chairs and benches, just throw them away! You won't need them for a while when you're away from home. They're a burden to carry with you."
Du Jiang waved his hand: "I'll listen to Wanwan."
Yao Meixian and her three younger brothers quickly took down the broken benches and tables from the car and reluctantly piled them aside.
Du Wenjun was really reluctant to do so, so while Du Wanwan was wiping the soot from the pot on her face, he picked up the small stool that he had sat on since he was a child and put it back on the car.
Du Wenguan wanted to say something when he saw it, but he covered his mouth. Du Wenhuo wanted to say something too, but he didn't dare to say it after being glared at by him.
Du Wanwan is a carefree person. It would be more comfortable for her to dress up as a man than to play the role of a well-behaved girl.
There are five people in their family, four of them are boys and her mother is the only woman. Even if someone wants to take advantage of them, they have to think twice.
"Pack your things and get ready to go. Dad! Where did the village chief and his men originally plan to flee to?"
"The capital."
"Capital? That's too far away. Should we go or not?" Du Wanwan asked.
"No." Du Jiang answered straightforwardly, "Since we have separated, there is no need to get entangled with them. Anyway, we are fleeing from the famine, so we can flee to wherever we want."
After hearing what her father said, Du Wanwan knew what was going on. She raised her hand and lightly pushed the car, allowing Du Jiang to sit in.
Du Jiang refused to do so: "Just push the food. Dad won't sit, so he can walk."
Yao Meixian had never seen her daughter pushing a stroller before, and was afraid that she might not be able to push it steadily, so she hurriedly followed her daughter to support her.
It seemed as if with her support, her daughter would be able to push the cart steadily.
