Chapter 246 Stung by
a Bee Feng's eyebrows quirked, and she chased him for two steps, wanting to pick up a broom to hit him.
But the boy was holding a sheepskin bag, happily running and jumping high. Before Feng could catch up, he had already dodged and hid in the house.
Jiang Fengnian stood behind and watched, tied the carriage and smiled: "Mom, Lao Wu used the little money he saved in his small treasury to buy a new thing in the city, and he was in a hurry to give it to Nuobao. Just let him go for once."
Feng was reluctant to really hit him, but she had to pretend every time.
"Look at how happy this monkey is. I wonder what he bought, fragrant or smelly, but it must be some toys." After Feng Shi picked up the rotten cucumber and sat down, she thought of serious matters again: "I asked you to take him to the city to buy some medicinal herbs for Doctor Wu. Have you got them all?"
Jiang Fengnian took two large bundles from the carriage: "Don't worry, mother. Doctor Wu has been living in our Fushan Hall. If there is an emergency in our family or the villagers have a headache or fever, he will help without accepting the consultation fee. If I can't handle this little thing well, it will be too embarrassing."
This is reasonable, and Feng Shi nodded. Doctor Wu treated them well.
The Jiang family can't do much for Doctor Wu, just running errands and helping with shopping.
The herbs he had to bring this time cost a total of fifty-eight taels of silver. Jiang Fengnian didn't want to ask Doctor Wu for money, but he was afraid that he would definitely not pay, so he rounded off the amount and only asked for fifty taels and left.
Doctor Wu didn't ask, but he knew everything in his heart. He patted him on the shoulder and stuffed a paper bag of donkey-hide gelatin into his mouth.
"Go home and boil it to drink. Anyway, it's boiled with your donkey skin, so don't be polite to me." Doctor Wu predicted what he was going to say and "blocked" his mouth in advance.
Jiang Fengnian had no choice but to accept it. After returning home, he found a cool place to put it, leaving it for Mrs. Feng and other women to use, and then went back to the east room to rest.
He lay on the pillow for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He turned over and muttered to Sun Chunxue: "Speaking of which, there was a strange thing today. In the morning, when Lao Wu and I came out of the herbal medicine store, we met a child with a missing arm and holding a begging bowl. He looked very familiar, but I couldn't remember who he looked like."
Sun Chunxue was sewing a quilt with thick and big stitches. She said without raising her head, "What's so strange about this? There are so many people who look like him. If you can't remember, just forget it."
Jiang Fengnian, however, leaned on his elbow and said, "The key is, the child also looked at me, and then he suddenly lowered his head and ran away, without even daring to look back, as if he knew me, otherwise I wouldn't have been so suspicious."
"There's this matter?" Sun Chunxue raised her eyes and was stunned.
The couple pondered for a while in the house, but it seemed that none of the children they knew had any missing limbs, so Jiang Fengnian put the matter aside and went out to work again.
At this moment, in the main room, Feng Miao was calling Nuobao and Feng Jing to see his new baby!
On the head of the kang, three little heads were sitting in a row, huddled together, staring at a sheepskin bag.
After staring for a long time, Nuobao and Feng Jing's eyes were almost sore, but the bag was still pitch black and they couldn't see anything.
Occasionally there was a buzzing sound, muffled inside.
"Old Five... There is no light at all, have you been fooled?" Feng Jing rubbed his eyes and raised his head in confusion.
Jiang Fengmiao was afraid that the things in the bag would escape, so he kept his hands tightly, leaving only a small gap.
He shook his head when he heard this: "I'm so smart, who can fool me? The vendor said that they like to sleep during the day, so it's possible that they don't shine. Anyway, the vendor has a bunch of these glowing insects over there, and he said that since I'm a child, he would give me a half-price discount, and sold me fifty at two taels, and put them all in this sheepskin bag!"
As he said this, Fengmiao put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly, his little white teeth flashing.
Feng Jing looked at him like a fool, "What glowworm? They are called flowing fireflies, or fireflies!"
"But then again, did you really see with your own eyes that the vendor put the fireflies into your bag one by one?" Feng Jing was a little suspicious.
As soon as Feng Miao recalled, the smile on his face slowly froze.
"..."
At that time, the vendor was selling fireflies on the street corner, holding a black cloth to cover them. There were indeed many glowing ones, but the ones he sold to him were packed in a bag in advance.
Seeing that he stopped smiling, Feng Jing couldn't help shaking his head: "I have to remind you that although fireflies are summer things, there are not many of them in our northern area. If things go wrong, the vendor will charge you two taels just to sell you a sheepskin bag!"
Feng Miao froze in place, his little face turned bitter, and he kept shaking his head!
No, no, that's a full two taels. He has to settle accounts with his mother for several months before he can make it back!
Xiao Nuobao also looked eagerly, looking at the fourth brother on the left and the fifth brother on the right.
The excitement and curiosity that had just emerged, as if splashed with a basin of cold water, suddenly shrank back, making her pout.
Feng Miao felt sorry for the two taels of silver, and didn't want to disappoint his sister, so he held the sheepskin bag carefully, and refused to believe the peddler's lies no matter what, and insisted on waiting until dark to have a look.
After nightfall, Feng Miao took Nuobao's little hand and ran to a pile of grass in the backyard to open the sheepskin bag.
Little Nuobao was wearing an armless vest, and had just applied perfume powder on his neck and armpits. He still blinked expectantly and squatted beside his brother.
Soon, when the bag was opened, there was a buzzing sound inside, but no light was seen, but only a burst of sound was heard.
When Jiang Fengmiao felt pain on his face, he picked up the oil lamp and shone it, and realized that something was wrong. He quickly picked up his sister and ran home!
"Oh no, I've been fooled. It's not a Noctiluca, but some kind of bee!" Feng Miao grinned, almost wanting to cry.
Sure enough, after hiding back in the house, Feng was shocked when she saw the faces of the two children.
Little Nuobao's forehead, nose, and left eyelid were all swollen with big red lumps, all of which were severely pricked.
"What's going on? Our backyard is fine, how come there are so many bees!" Feng's voice was so anxious that she picked up Nuobao with one hand and held Feng Miao with the other, and was going to find Doctor Wu to check it out.
Little Nuobao realized it later, and then she felt itchy and painful on her face, and her head became dizzy. She was so uncomfortable that she kept rolling in Feng's arms.
Feng Miao was only stung because she didn't put on any powder. She felt extremely guilty and shrank her neck like a quail.
If her mother knew the whole story, Feng Miao would definitely
be beaten up. Xiao Nuobao didn't care about crying out in pain, so she was busy covering up for her brother. "There's a nest, mother, there must be a beehive in the backyard." Xiao Nuobao was so painful that Siha gasped, "The bees flew over suddenly!"
Knowing that his sister was hiding it, Feng Jing had no choice but to lie, "Almost. I also saw a few in the backyard in the afternoon, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time."
When Xiao Fengmiao heard this, his heart was even more in a knot. When he looked back, his sister's face was swollen, which made him almost burst into tears.
He had no choice but to run as fast as he could and ran to Fushan Hall to knock on the door.
"Grandpa Wu, open the door, my sister was stung by a bee!"
