Chapter 27: Dog Eyes Look Down on People



Jiang Huaixu was annoyed just after he walked out of the village.

Ever since she forced Fu Tuan to upgrade the scanner, it can now scan an area within a radius of one thousand meters.

Therefore, every few steps, Futuan’s little radar would keep ringing.

She turned on the mute mode and moved her body. The car was not crowded for six people, but it would be different with three sacks of mushrooms.

When I turned around, I saw that Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei were already asleep and snoring.

"Little sister, if you are sleepy, take a nap. It will take two or three hours to get to the county town." Jiang Erlang whispered.

Jiang Huaixu nodded and closed his eyes.

She immersed her consciousness into the space and began to read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. The theoretical content of Chinese medicine was profound and difficult to understand. She remembered the contents of the book very well, but her understanding was a bit slow.

Reading is always new, and you will gain new insights every time you read it.

When it was time for breakfast, Zheng Li Niang took out the mushroom and meat sauce pancakes that she had prepared last night, and everyone ate them with gusto.

Time passed in a flash, and when she opened her eyes again, she could see the county town gate in the distance.

"Little sister, you woke up just in time. We are almost at the county town. Drink some water to wake yourself up." Zheng Li'niang handed the bamboo tube filled with water to Jiang Huaixu, with a look of nervousness and worry on her face.

Jiang Huaixu knew at a glance what her sister-in-law was worried about. She patted her sister-in-law's hand, gave her a reassuring smile, took the bamboo tube and drank a sip of water.

"Little sister, little sister, look at the county wall, it's so high!" Jiang Wei almost stood up excitedly.

"Be careful, don't fall." Jiang Dalang reminded loudly.

Jiang Sanlang was also excited, but as a man, he had been to the county town more often than Jiang Wei.

"Sister Wei, look at your younger sister, then look at yourself. It's not like you've been here before, can you be more steady?"

"Humph!" Jiang Wei glared at Jiang Sanlang, then complained to Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, look how he bullied me!"

Jiang Erlang had been paying attention to Jiang Huaixu intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that there was only curiosity but no excitement or joy on her face, he lowered his eyes to hide the inquiry in his eyes.

When he heard Sister Wei complain, he just raised his hand and knocked Jiang Sanlang on the head.

Jiang Sanlang cried out "Ah!", covering his head and almost crying.

Jiang Erlang's fingers froze in mid-air.

I forgot, his strength now is very different from before.

When Jiang Wei saw her third brother being taught a lesson by her second brother, she immediately burst into laughter.

······

Accompanied by Jiang Wei's cheerful laughter, the mule cart stopped at the gate of Huaiyang County.

It was not until the mule cart stopped that Jiang Huaixu discovered that there was a shed at the city gate that was used to park ox carts and mule carts, with one person left on each cart.

She asked Uncle Niu and found out that it cost two cents to drive a mule cart into the city. If you didn't have a cart and carried a backpack or a sack, you had to pay one cent for each one.

If you have a car, you are a fool and don’t use it.

"Uncle Niu, just drive in. I'll pay for the entrance fee. It's almost noon and it's still so hot. I can't leave you here alone to watch the car."

Uncle Niu felt that this little mute girl was really good at talking now that she could speak, and he felt comfortable listening to her speak.

Since the youngest sister said so, Jiang Dalang naturally would not stop her. He would definitely not let the youngest sister pay for the entrance fee. The family was much better off now and would not be stingy with even a few cents.

The group paid the entrance fee obediently. The guard saw the three sacks in their car but did not make things difficult for them. He waved his hand and let them pass.

After entering the city, Jiang Huaixu was very curious and stared at every new stall he saw for a long time.

However, Huaiyang County is just a lower county, and no matter how many merchants there are, they are not that many, so it is not very prosperous.

The mule cart stopped at the corner of a relatively secluded alley. After agreeing on a time, the six people from the Jiang family got off the cart.

There were three sacks of mushrooms, one sack for Jiang Dalang, one sack for Jiang Erlang, and one sack for Jiang... Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu felt that he was strong, so he picked it up without thinking.

Jiang Dalang saw this and was so angry that he kicked Jiang Sanlang who was looking around and said, "How dare you let your little sister carry the sack?"

"Ouch!" Jiang Sanlang staggered forward a few steps before reacting. He rubbed his butt and took the mushrooms from the youngest sister's hand with grievance, but it was very difficult.

"Sister Wei, little sister, please help me——"

Jiang Huaixu raised his hand to help, but as soon as he loosened his grip, he saw Jiang Sanlang suddenly fall backwards and almost sit on the sack.

She couldn't stand seeing Jiang Sanlang being such a loser, so she was thinking about whether she should give Jiang Sanlang some of the body-hardening potion.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Erlang say to Jiang Dalang as they walked: "Brother, I'm taking my third brother and Wei Jie'er to Sihailou to ask about the price of mushrooms. How about you, your eldest sister-in-law and your youngest sister go to the medicine shop and ask?"

Jiang Dalang knew that he did this so that the couple could see patients with peace of mind, so he agreed.

The six men split into two groups, and soon Jiang Huaixu followed Jiang Dalang and Zheng Li'niang to the gate of Baohe Hall.

Zheng Li'niang pulled Jiang Huaixu to stand at the door, and Jiang Dalang went forward to ask the waiter.

But before I could even ask two questions, the guy waved his hand impatiently, "If you're not here to see a doctor, don't ask nonsense questions. I don't have that much time to deal with you!"

How could Jiang Dalang not know that this guy was treating them differently because they were wearing coarse linen clothes with patches on them, but Baohetang was the largest medicine shop in the county, and most herbal farmers sold their medicine here.

He held back his anger, cupped his hands, and asked again: "Is the shopkeeper here? We are here..."

"You don't understand me?" The waiter spat and said sternly, "Get lost! If you want money, go to the east of the city!"

As he said this, he actually wanted to kick someone, but fortunately Jiang Dalang reacted quickly and dodged in time.

The east of the city is the area with the most beggars in Huaiyang County. This is both insulting and beating people.
