Chapter 157 I'm Still Clean
A Lian didn't expect that this seemingly frail young girl was actually someone not to be trifled with.
Although Erhe didn't say anything harsh, her attitude was there.
A-Lian stared at her, then stomped her feet and left.
Erhe rested for a while. It was not yet time for dinner. He Zheng came over after finishing his talk with the Third Master and Qin Bo. He closed the door as soon as he came in.
"Wife," He Zheng scratched his head. The eight-foot-tall man looked at his wife's slender back and said in a weak voice, "Are you angry with me?"
He didn't do a good job on this mission, but He Zheng felt that it was a rare opportunity and he didn't want to miss it.
Erhe sat on the stool and looked up at him.
He Zheng was somewhat of a hot-tempered man, but he was restrained in front of her, as if she was very fierce.
He pretended to purse his lips, "Yes, I'm angry. Why do you always encounter bizarre things every time you run a delivery? He Zheng, what do you think you'll encounter next time?"
He Zheng didn't see through her pretense, but he was worried about her. He took a few steps forward, clenching his fist to touch her, but after a moment's hesitation, he retracted his hand, hanging his head. "I didn't expect that either. You said she was a grown woman struggling in the river and crying for help, so I couldn't just watch her drown without saving her."
"Um."
That's the truth, Erhe nodded lightly.
Unsure what her "hmm" meant, He Zheng became even more uneasy. He closed his eyes and said, "Wife, please don't leave me... I really didn't do anything to her. I just pulled her out of the water. I only pulled her clothes and didn't touch her hands, let alone other parts of her body... I, I'm still clean."
She wasn't really angry at first, but after hearing these words, she matched He Zheng's aggrieved look.
Erhe broke down and burst out laughing.
"Okay, I'm not mad at you. Everyone has their own opportunities. Perhaps this is your opportunity, too. It just sounds a little weird."
Just like the big carp before, who would have thought that an emerald ring would be found in the mouth of a big carp.
Then there was this time when I met the girl who fell into the water just by passing by. If I had been a step earlier or later, I would have missed her. In the final analysis, it was just a chance.
You can't go wrong even if you want to.
"Let's get down to business. How's your discussion with the Third Master going?"
He Zheng gave a profound smile.
Erhe didn't understand for a moment.
Until the dinner table.
With the three of them present, the bamboo table seemed a lot more crowded.
Uncle Qin called two other elders from the village to join him, as every place has its own customs and habits.
The men ate at a table next to each other, and the women ate at a separate table next to them.
Opposite Erhe is A Lian, and this girl stares at her every time she eats.
No matter what she thinks, Erhe believes that she is not inferior in terms of appearance. As for what she is holding back, she and He Zheng are in a legal relationship. Can they be separated by force?
At the main table.
The topic has become very serious.
The Third Master put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat.
He Zheng received the signal and put down his chopsticks. He looked at Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle Qin, we're leaving tomorrow. I just want to ask you for help."
"you say."
Facing his daughter's savior, Qin Bo was very grateful and said immediately.
He Zheng glanced at the Third Master, who was very calm. His pale complexion combined with his thin figure made him look very sick.
"This is my friend. Look at his body..." He Zheng tried hard to suppress his laughter and said in one breath, "Look at his frail body. He's nearly thirty and still hasn't married. His family is very worried. He's tried hundreds of kilograms of various folk remedies and bitter medicines, but there's no effect. They say there are miraculous medicines in the mountains. I wonder if there are any doctors in the nearby villages who can treat my friend."
He Zheng just kept talking, not daring to look at the Third Master's expression, for fear that he would laugh out loud the next second.
The Third Master cooperated very well, clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed a few times.
He really looks like a sickly person.
Erhe was sitting on a low stool at the low table next to them, watching the two people's perfect acting.
Bow your head.
No one saw her almost bursting with laughter.
These two people...
He is really bold!
He looks like a swindler walking around the streets.
Thinking again, she was still in the same group with the two of them, Erhe silently withdrew her previous thought.
What a liar, this is a business.
Win-win cooperation and mutual benefit.
"What are you laughing at?" A-Lian kept staring at her and naturally did not miss her smile.
Erhe stopped smiling and calmly met A-Lian's inquiring gaze, lying without blinking, "I'm happy to think about going home."
Not expecting such an answer, Alian pursed her lips.
However, A-Lian's mother was very polite and put some meat into Erhe's bowl. The meat was chicken, which was raised in the village and slaughtered.
"Thank you, you eat too."
Compared to the men's table, the women on Erhe's side didn't say much. Erhe noticed it and cooperated by eating quietly.
The sound still came from the main table.
Uncle Qin had nothing to be embarrassed about. "To be honest, we do have a recipe. You see, our people are all relatively short, so we really have no choice... As for this recipe, it's not a secret, but it does help men. How about I stew a bowl for you later and you try it out?"
The process was unexpectedly smooth.
The Third Master looked at the way Uncle Qin looked at him, which was sympathetic with a hint of mutual understanding. He thought that perhaps he felt that he had found a kindred spirit.
So much so that the other two villagers looked at him with a bit of sympathy.
What a huge misunderstanding.
But...
The Third Master's Adam's apple rolled, "Then let's give it a try."
Since it is a "tonic" thing, you have to try it to know how effective it is.
So, after dinner, they ate and drank tea in the house. Uncle Qin was absent for a while, and when he showed up again, he brought a bowl of black medicine.
The third master took it and drank it in one gulp.
What happened next.
That has nothing to do with Erhe and He Zheng. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Erhe. They arranged a separate room for Erhe.
As for the Third Master, of course he shared a room with He Zheng.
Of course, Erhe would not ask what happened that night.
I only know that when I woke up the next day, He Zheng and the Third Master were standing in the yard.
"It's decided. This recipe is the one to get."
So, this secret recipe should be effective?
That’s good too. It’s worth their trip coming all the way here.
Afterwards, they chose to have a frank talk with Mr. Qin, and they wanted to buy the recipe.
"Don't be so polite. This recipe is not a secret recipe. You saved A Lian, so this recipe is a thank you. You can use it." Although the village is poor, it is also simple. This recipe was originally developed by Qin Bo's ancestors and then improved. The only difference is that one of the ingredients is unique to their place.
It's not a secret formula to this extent.
He Zheng looked at the Third Master, who nodded. He Zheng then took a step forward, suddenly exuding a mature aura.
"Okay, then we'll take it. Uncle Qin, we won't take your prescription for nothing, but we must be honest with you. After we take this prescription, we will research and make it into medicine. If all goes well, we can buy this unique medicine from you, and then you can also increase your income."
