Chapter 75 Leaving
Because the military affairs on the front line were urgent, the soldiers preparing to join the army had to set off immediately. After dawn, many men gathered at the entrance of Linjia Village.
There were thirty-one of them in total, each between eighteen and thirty years old.
The village chief has not been in good health since he fled the famine. He leaned on a crutch and looked at Lin Fei standing in front of the team with tears in his eyes.
"Son! You must come back safely!"
Lin Fei nodded vigorously, patted his brother's shoulder, and said, "We leave our father to you. Take good care of him."
"Okay. Brother, you must be careful."
As they were talking, the sound of crying came one after another from the team. Among the married people, it was the wives crying, and among the unmarried people, it was the mothers crying.
Lin Wu glanced behind him, then turned around and hugged Zhao Xiu tightly. Then he said to Lin Shuo, "Your mother is now in your hands. Please take good care of her."
"Dad, don't worry."
Lin Wu patted Lin Qian and Lin Shuo on the head with his big hands, rubbed them hard, then turned around and mounted the horse.
Lin Qian took two steps forward and said, "Dad, you must keep the medicine I prepared for you. Don't lose it."
Lin Wu smiled and nodded, then patted the backpack Zhao Xiu made for him.
Inside, there were anti-inflammatory drugs, detoxifying pills, detoxifying pills, and hemostatic powders that Lin Qian had prepared for her. She had personally mixed all of them, using herbs grown in the space and cold spring water. The drugs were highly effective.
At this time, everyone who needed to say goodbye had said their goodbyes. They all got on their horses, looked at their wives and children again, turned around and rode away without looking back.
They didn't dare look back, for fear that once they did, they would be unable to resist the urge to go back.
Only when their figures disappeared did the people who were standing at the entrance of the village disperse in groups of three or two.
"Xiao Xiu, let's go back too." After a long time, Lin Changcan said to Zhao Xiu who was still looking into the distance.
Zhao Xiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go home."
When Zhao Xiu returned home, she behaved normally, doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning as usual, but she spoke much less.
After all, there is no one around to take over the conversation.
Fortunately, Lin Shuo and Xu Jingcheng also noticed Zhao Xiu's silence and started to joke around with her, and Zhao Xiu smiled a little more.
After seven or eight days of this, Zhao Xiu felt uncomfortable all over and something was wrong.
At night, in space.
"Qianqian, Shuoshuo said before that he wanted to open a hot pot restaurant. Why don't we open it? I'm so bored staying at home." Zhao Xiu said.
Lin Qian was discussing a disease with Meng Yi. When she heard this, she looked at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo said, "Mom, I was just saying it. Didn't you disagree before?"
"Before, when your father was at home, I didn't feel bored. Now I'm usually alone at home. Qianqian and Jingcheng are going to learn medicine from Brother Meng.
You go out to practice martial arts with those two guys, Lin Yuan and Lin Xing, every day, and your grandfather goes to play chess with the village chief. I'm bored.
"I've been visiting people these days and I've found that I'm not the only one like this. Lin Yuan and Lin Xing's mothers are the same way. I'm thinking, why don't we open a hot pot restaurant to give us some things to do?" Zhao Xiu said.
Lin Qian said: "That's not bad. If you really want to do it, I'll go find a storefront tomorrow."
Zhao Xiu thought about it again and nodded: "Okay, go find it."
Meng Yi said, "Once I'm busy like this, I won't have any random thoughts and won't be overly worried."
Lin Qian and Lin Shuo nodded.
The next day, Zhao Xiu went to the village to find a few familiar left-behind women and asked them if they would like to come to her shop to help. After this question, thirteen of them were willing to help.
As for Lin Qian and Lin Shuo, they took Xu Jingcheng to the county town to look at storefronts.
After shopping for most of the day, Lin Qian couldn't find any store that she liked. Either the location was too remote or the store was too small.
Just at this time, Lin Qian met Mr. Wang.
Ever since Mr. Wang’s lung disease was cured by Meng Yi, he would invite Meng Yi and Lin Qian to visit him every few days when his family members were unwell.
Over the past year, they have become very familiar with each other.
"Young Doctor Lin, why are you here?" Mr. Wang must have just finished discussing business with someone and came out of the restaurant when he happened to meet Lin Qian.
Lin Qian originally wanted to say a few polite words and then leave, but suddenly she remembered that Mr. Wang seemed to have many shops, and his family was one of the richest businessmen in Bo County. It seemed that he had many connections, so she could ask him for help.
"It's like this. My family wants to open a restaurant, so I came here to see if there are any shops for sale. I've been looking around for half a day, but I haven't found any that I like." Lin Qian said.
When Mr. Wang heard this, he immediately burst into laughter. "So that's what you're talking about. Doctor Xiaolin, why didn't you tell me earlier? I have two shops for sale. Come on, I'll take you to have a look. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you."
"No, let's just do it, otherwise I don't want it anymore." Lin Qian said immediately.
Mr. Wang nodded with a smile and led the way. The two shops were on two adjacent streets, both near the main street, so it was undoubtedly prosperous.
One has three two-story shops, and the other has five three-story shops.
"Sister, I think we should buy five rooms. The two upper floors can be converted into private rooms, and the yard downstairs is big, so we can use it as a dormitory or move in.
Lin Qian also thought that the five-room shop was better, and then said to Mr. Wang: "We are planning to buy five shops. Please give us a price."
"Don't be so formal. If it weren't for you and your master, I would have died long ago. Doctor Lin, please don't be so polite to me." Master Wang said politely.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qian stood up and was about to leave: "That won't work. If you don't take the money, I won't buy it."
Mr. Wang now realized that Lin Qian was serious, so he stopped being polite and offered a price of three hundred taels of silver.
In fact, Lin Qian knew that if these five shops were really sold, the price would be at least no less than five hundred taels. The price Mr. Wang mentioned was definitely too low.
Lin Qian said, "Okay, let's go with this price. I'll go to your house tomorrow and deliver the money."
"good."
After returning home, Lin Shuo said, "Sister, the price Mr. Wang offered is really good."
Xu Jingcheng said: "My eldest brother's medicine shop also has five rooms, and he spent six or seven hundred taels of silver to buy it.
Master, this shop you bought this time will definitely make you a profit."
Lin Qian nodded: "I know, so I plan to bring two jars of medicinal wine for Mr. Wang when I go to the palace tomorrow."
Half a year ago, she had made several large jars of medicinal wine and had buried them under several trees in the space. Now that they were dug out, they would surely be more effective.
She added a lot of good medicinal herbs into the medicinal wine. If she sold it, it would definitely be worth it at one hundred taels of silver per jar.
Lin Shuo knew how many good things Lin Qian had put into the medicinal wine. "It would be better to give him an extra two hundred taels of silver. Now, Master Wang will make a fortune."
"If someone shows me respect, I will show him respect. Mr. Wang is a good man. He is on good terms with me, a doctor, simply because he wants to live a few more years." Lin Qian said.
If you know a miracle doctor, everyone will rush to curry favor with him and never be afraid of getting sick again.
