Chapter 30: When people walk on the road, disaster comes from the sky
Old Huang gritted his teeth, took out ten taels of silver, handed it to Ji Changying, and said unhappily, "You are really obsessed with money!"
Ji Changying smiled professionally and said, "Okay, boss. I promise to complete the task!"
After saying this, without waiting for Xie Siheng to react, he strode to the carriage, reached in, picked him up and carried him on his shoulder.
However, most of Xie Siheng's legs were still dragging on the ground. In order to satisfy the customer, Ji Changying simply turned him sideways, putting one hand on his shoulders and the other on his legs.
Xie Siheng's face turned red, he was angry.
Some unspeakable parts of his body were pressed tightly against the person under him, and even though there was a straw raincoat between them, it was difficult for him to remain calm.
"You!... How disgraceful! Put me down!"
"You can put it down, but I won't return the money!"
Hearing Ji Changying's words, Mr. Huang quickly said, "Don't! Carry him back into the house!"
Otherwise, wouldn’t the money be wasted?
In the past, he wouldn't feel bad about spending even a thousand taels of silver, let alone ten, but now the situation is special.
"Oh! I didn't expect that one day I would feel so distressed when spending ten taels of silver." Old Huang looked up at the sky sadly.
Xie Siheng squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Twenty taels! Let me down!"
Ji Changying's pace gradually slowed down. The distance of two meters seemed as long as two kilometers. "Look?"
She looked at Mr. Huang with an embarrassed expression.
When Mr. Huang saw her like this, he almost laughed out loud: "He has no money now. He spent all my money! Hurry and throw him on the bed. I don't want to see him now."
Xie Siheng's face froze.
Ji Changying sighed in regret, as the chance to raise the price was gone.
The house was very simple. There was nothing inside except a bed, but the room was tidy.
Ji Changying took two steps at a time and put the person on the bed with some gentle movements.
No matter what, they are all patients.
Xie Siheng sat there with a stern face, looking gloomy.
The tips of his ears were red as blood.
After putting him down, Ji Changying patted her chest and introduced: "We guarantee you'll be satisfied with the manual service! As long as you have money, everything is negotiable. Boss, you're welcome to order exclusive services next time!"
Huang Lao's eyebrows knitted together: "What a mess."
Xie Siheng lay on the bed with an expressionless face and his back turned.
He really didn't want to face this person.
"Next time you have something good like this, remember to come to me. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."
Ji Changying waved her hand and walked away with a smile.
Back to that messy yard, half the people were gone.
Ji Fengshou was still waiting for her there: "Let's go, we have been assigned to another courtyard."
On the way, Ji Fengshou briefly explained the matter.
Sun Fan actually stopped and took the money and took the yamen runners to rest.
This is really hard to understand.
The old village chief cleared out three courtyards for their group. The yamen runners stayed in the middle courtyard, and the rest of the people stayed in the courtyards on both sides.
When Ji Fengshou brought her back to the yard for rest, many people had already made their beds on the floor.
These officials were kind-hearted and worried that all these people would get sick and be unable to travel, so they not only left ginger for them to boil water, but also left a lot of firewood for them to dry their clothes.
The old patriarch was asking people to boil ginger water and light a fire for warmth.
Mrs. Hu occupied a corner of the room early and spread a thick layer of cattail on the ground. When she saw Ji Changying coming back, she quickly asked her to drink ginger water and go to bed.
After all this trouble, Ji Changying was very tired and lay down to fall asleep immediately.
When she woke up the next day, she was alone.
Everyone else went out to chat with someone or to find out news.
The sound of rain falling on the ground outside was clearly audible, and the sky was so gloomy that it was impossible to tell whether it was daytime or dusk.
Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Zhou were talking with several sisters-in-law from Lotus Village under the eaves outside, all with sad expressions on their faces.
"It's getting colder and colder. I shiver when I sleep at night."
"That's right, we adults are fine, but what about the children?"
"I don't know when this rain will stop. I can't wait to get going so I can buy some thick cloth to make some clothes when I get there."
A group of people were talking about the weather.
Liu was talking to Zhou and Hu, "Your daughter, Ying, knows a lot. You know, I...my family has always lived in Beijing. Now that I'm on the road, I've realized I'm completely clueless about life. If I come across anything in the future, could you please take me with you?"
When Liu said this, her face couldn't help but blush.
She felt really embarrassed to say this, but her family was now at the end of their rope. If they didn't think of a solution, they would starve to death on the road.
Mrs. Hu said cheerfully, "What's the big deal? My Ah Ying takes the little girl out looking for things on the road all day. If you don't mind, just follow me and pick them!"
When Zhou heard someone praising Ji Changying, she looked proud and said, "Aying is the best!"
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Seeing Ji Changying come out, Zhou's eyes lit up instantly: "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Mrs. Hu smiled and stood up, stuffing a black steamed bun into her hand: "You can make do with this for the next two days."
Everyone lives together, so it's not easy for them to get special treatment.
Ji Changying had no objection. She squatted on the ground with the steamed bun, drinking water and eating it.
It makes my throat hurt when I eat it, and I can't swallow it without drinking water.
Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and everyone who was talking in the yard came to the door.
"Oh! My sow has been trying to give birth for almost a day and she still hasn't given birth. You are the only doctor in our village right now. Please go and take a look!"
An old lady was pulling at Mr. Huang's clothes at the gate of the next yard.
"That's outrageous! I'm a doctor who treats people, not a pig! Don't bother with me, go find someone who understands pigs!"
Mr. Huang refused with a dark face.
"But my family is the only one in our village that raises pigs. We've finally raised them for a year and bred them. They're about to give birth to piglets and make money. What if one of them dies?"
The old lady was extremely anxious.
"If he dies, we'll raise him again!" Old Huang waved his sleeves and was about to leave.
Ji Changying raised her hand silently: "I can!"
Hu Shizhen was shocked by what he said: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Changying really wanted to not understand, but there was nothing she could do, she was studying at an agricultural college!
When I was in school, I could earn credits by raising pigs...
When Sister Li heard Ji Changying's words, she didn't have time to think. She grabbed her and said, "Great! Come with me!"
When Ji Changying was being dragged away, she did not forget to pull Huang Lao with her: "Let's go together!"
"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk it over. Let go first!"
Mr. Huang didn't expect that disaster would come from the sky while he was walking on the road.
When we arrived at Mrs. Li's house, the whole family and neighbors were gathering in front of the pigpen to have fun.
Seeing Sister Li pulling a stranger over, the family members came over and asked anxiously, "Is the doctor here?"
Sister Li pushed Ji Changying forward and said, "Girl! Come and look at the pigs! We're counting on you!"
Ji Changying didn't say anything more. She let go of Mr. Huang, rolled up her sleeves, walked into the pigpen, and began to feel the sow's belly.
The smell in the pigpen was pungent and unpleasant. The sow lying there would twitch from time to time, her expression full of pain, and her screams would become weaker.
"How long has it been going on?" Ji Changying asked the people outside calmly.
