Chapter 13 Treasure Magic Water
Mingzhu met Jiang Duo's gaze and couldn't help feeling guilty. Why did this man like to look at people so much?
"Aren't you leaving? Is there anything else?"
Jiang Duo realized his mistake, retracted his gaze, and said, "Go to work tomorrow morning, and I'll pick you up to go shopping in the city at noon."
"Okay."
"Then I'll leave first."
"Bye."
Jiang Duo said nothing more and walked away.
Mingzhu watched the man's burly figure disappear, and her vigilance and high heart slowly calmed down.
She turned back and went home. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Ming Chunni, who had turned on the kerosene lamp, sitting at the long dining table, bending over and holding her stomach. She seemed uncomfortable and very uncomfortable.
In the original owner's memory, Ming Chunni often behaved like this, but in this era, if it was not a serious illness, she would not go to the hospital, at most she would go to the barefoot doctor to get some medicine.
Ming Chunni was stupid and could not speak, and the original owner never cared about her. Her family was really poor, so she had long been accustomed to this and could only endure the pain.
But now it is different. Mingzhu is not the heartless original owner.
She walked over, squatted in front of Ming Chunni, raised her hand and pressed her stomach, and heard Ming Chunni scream in pain...
This is an old stomach disease.
Mingzhu is a Western doctor. If she wants to know the exact result, she has to do a gastroscopy, but there is no such condition here.
However, stomach problems are not a big problem. Mingzhu took Chinese medicine as an elective course when she was in school. Although she is not good at taking pulses, she has a good memory and can still remember the prescriptions for some basic diseases.
She recalled the Chinese medicinal materials and said casually, "Okay, it's not difficult to get those, just do it!"
Ding--
As soon as she finished speaking, the familiar mechanical sound came again!
Mingzhu was stunned, and saw the dim light suddenly flashing in front of her eyes, which hurt her eyes. After her vision was cloudy for half a second, she rubbed her eyes, but found that she was standing in a huge white misty space.
Mingzhu was surprised for a moment, wow, there is actually a space! She knew that time-travel novels are true!
But after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, Mingzhu was instantly shocked...
Tsk, nothing!
As far as the eye can see, there is only a well-sized cylindrical stone trough with a concave center, and the concave part is filled with water.
Uh...
aren't the spaces given in novels omnipotent? What does it mean to give her a basin of water?
She felt a little unbalanced, but still walked over curiously.
Then, Mingzhu scooped up a bucket of water with the ladle on the edge of the stone trough, but found that the water level did not drop. No matter how much water she took, it was full.
Does this mean that this water is inexhaustible?
She looked at the clear water in the ladle, licked her lips unconsciously, lowered her head and took a sip tentatively -
sweet!
It's not the sweetness with sugar added, but the fresh sweetness of the mountain spring. She has never drunk such delicious water in her life!
Mingzhu couldn't help but drink a few more sips. She was tired and sleepy after working all afternoon, but the amazing thing was that after drinking the water, the tiredness was swept away and she was full of energy again!
Well, she retracted her imbalance just now. This water is really amazing!
Thinking that her aunt was still suffering, she wanted to take some water out and try it for her aunt to see if it would work.
But how to get out?
She looked around with the water scoop in her hand, and thought that when she came in, she seemed to have said "Just do it" unintentionally. Does it need to use a spell to get out?
Mingzhu repeated: "Just do it."
However, there was no response.
Then...
"I don't want to do it anymore!"
She just made it up casually, and saw the white mist in front of her suddenly dissipated, and the dim light enveloped her again.
It really came out!
But this spell of going in and out... well, this space is somewhat rebellious!
Seeing Ming Chunni still lying on the table in pain, she didn't notice her disappearance at all. It can be seen that after she entered the space, time outside was still...
Mingzhu didn't think much about it, and hurriedly put the water ladle in her hand on the stove beside her, and helped Ming Chunni up, "Auntie, go to the kang and rest for a while, I'll pour you a cup of hot water."
Ming Chunni's eyes flashed with surprise. Zhuzhu never paid attention to her before, and always scolded her for pretending to be sick, but today Zhuzhu not only didn't scold her, but also smiled at her and let her go to rest -
Zhuzhu like this, it's really good.
After Ming Chunni lay back on the kang, Mingzhu went back to the kitchen.
She poured the water from the ladle into her aunt's bowl, but she didn't dare let the patient drink cold water directly, so she poured some hot water to mix it in.
Seeing Ming Chunni curled up in pain, Mingzhu hurriedly handed her the water, "Come on, aunt, drink some water."
Ming Chunni always listened to Mingzhu, she took the bowl from Mingzhu and gulped down the water despite the pain.
After drinking, she smacked her lips and asked in confusion: "Did Zhuzhu add sugar to my drink? Auntie doesn't drink sugary drinks, so the sugar water should be left for Zhuzhu."
Hearing this, Mingzhu wanted to laugh and was touched. Seeing Ming Chunni's frown relax, Mingzhu asked: "Auntie, does your stomach still hurt?"
Ming Chunni was stunned for a moment, and after two seconds, she touched her stomach and smiled like a child, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
In the past, whenever she had a stomachache, she would have to suffer for most of the night. This time, it was so strange, how could it get better so quickly?
Mingzhu looked at Ming Chunni's spirits and felt secretly happy: It seems that this water is not only drinkable by herself, but also effective for others, and the effects are different. It is a bit like magic water.
It is really treasure water, Mingzhu is very satisfied with it!
But some are happy while others are sad. Ming Changhe, who was far away in the center of the village, was extremely dissatisfied.
He had been determined to get the 500 yuan betrothal gift from Mingzhu, but he failed to get it after two consecutive visits.
Especially tonight, he simply lost face in front of the whole village!
At night, he sat cross-legged on the kang, smoking a dry cigarette while watching his eldest son beating Jiang Rong with a stick!
Jiang Rong cried in pain and kept dodging the beating, but she didn't dare to run out of the door.
Ming Changhe felt unsatisfied and cursed: "Beat her hard! Can't you get used to this kind of woman? You really make me lose face!"
On the side were Jiang Rong's two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son Ming Tao was 25 years old and married. He was also a man who never hesitated to beat his wife.
The daughter Ming Yan was 22 years old and wanted to marry a city man. Her heart was higher than the sky. The
youngest son Ming Hao was 20 years old. He stared at several female educated youth in the village with lustful eyes every day. He was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Seeing their mother being beaten by their father, none of the three people stopped it. Instead, they were not surprised.
In the end, Minghao was still annoyed by the cry and said impatiently: "Dad, that's enough. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to get the betrothal money!"
Boss Ming stopped and walked to the kang to sit down tiredly. He drank two sips of water while panting, "What are you thinking about? If it doesn't work, just go and snatch the money. Mingzhu is a young niece and has no right to take the money. She should give it to us!"
But Mingtao sneered: "Dad, do you think Mingzhu is so easy to bully? And the man she found... I can't even beat him, how can you snatch him?"
He was punched by Jiang Duo tonight, and his shoulder still hurts. He just pulled open his collar and saw that it was bruised!
The room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was thinking of a solution. Mingyan, who was sitting at the end of the bed, was the first to speak: "Grandpa, Dad, I have an idea..."
