Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 6
It was steaming outside, and Qi You and the others had just walked out of the shop when a wave of heat hit their faces.
“I’ll go ahead, you are hiding behind me.” Qi You whispered, then turned his hands and carried the small pillar behind his back.
Qi You walked in the direction where Zhang Hunzi had left, walked around the corner, and then asked Father Qi, “Father, where is the medicine store going next?”
Father Qi thought for a while and pointed to the left, “If I remember correctly, it should be there.”
Qi You said: “I naturally believe in Dad’s good memory. When driving here from the village, without Dad’s guidance, we don’t know how many detours we have to take.”
There was a smile on Qi’s face, “Where is it, but there is a lot of walking back and forth, so I will remember it naturally.”
Qi You closed his mouth as soon as he saw it, and walked forward quietly.
Before they could find the drug store, Zhang Hunzi appeared out of nowhere.
There was still a layer of sweat on the other party’s head, and it looked like it was dusty, as if it had just ran from nowhere.
Zhang Hunzi had a smile on his face, but Qi You was able to play a role as a social elite in modern society, and he almost became the CEO and stepped onto the pinnacle of life. That vision is indispensable.
Don’t look at Zhang Hunzi with a smile on his face, the smile looks so stiff, it seems to be squeezed out. Especially the hostility in those little eyes almost overflowed.
That look is not what an ordinary person would have.
Qi You squeezed his sweat quietly, and greeted him calmly, “Ah, it’s Brother Zhang, why are you here?”
Zhang Hunzi patted Qi You on the shoulder familiarly, “Brother, I am not here to find water for you.”
Qi You collapsed and yelled exaggeratedly, “Oh, Brother Zhang, your hands are really strong.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention. Brother Qi should not be offended.” He said that, Zhang Hunzi didn’t have the slightest apology on his face, and he even looked at Qi You and his party with a faint lofty and disdainful.
Qi You laughed with him, “Brother Zhang, your great kindness to the little brother, the little brother will all remember it.”
“Hey, what’s the matter here. Since you call me Brother Zhang, I naturally look like a big brother.” Zhang Hunzi accompany him to deal with a few sentences, and quickly cut to the topic, “By the way, you guys are in a day’s drive On the road, a group of old and weak women and children, tired, thirsty and hungry, don’t want to stay in the shop and rest, what are they doing in this hot day?”
Hearing the words, Qi You touched the back of his head, with a silly look on his face, and a silly smile, “We are temporarily settled down and can catch our breath. We are in the county again, so I wanted to go to the drugstore to find some medicine, just in case. need.”
Zhang Hunzi’s mouth twitched.
Qi You still said, “My father used to come to the county to go to the fair, and he was quite familiar with this county, so I took him out with him.”
“At that time, I will be lucky. I will find some medicinal materials that can cure the cold and brain heat. God will take care of me.”
Zhang Hunzi:…
What you think is so beautiful.
Zhang Hunzi looked at the silly and cheerful young man in front of him, with a complicated expression.
He choked for a long time before spitting out, “The county is not peaceful at night, you should go back to where you left off earlier after you find the medicinal materials.”
“Okay.” Qi You replied stupidly, “By the way, Brother Zhang, you help me find water. This is a great favor. In return, if I find medicinal materials that can be used, I will share half of you.”
“He…hehe, no, I’m in good health.” He quietly waved his hand where Qi You hadn’t noticed.
“Okay, I have to continue to find water for you, so I’ll take a step first. Remember, go back to the place where you stayed earlier in the evening, do you understand.” Zhang Hunzi confessed a few words and left like the wind.
Qi You smirked as he watched him leave, and waved goodbye to him.
The people watching this scene not far away sneered, “What a fool, hey.”
………
Qi You turned his head and said to Father Qi: “Father, your leg hurts again, let me carry you on my back. Please trouble Miao’er to hold the small pillar.”
“It’s not troublesome, Brother You, you’re polite.”
Lin Miao’er reached out and hugged her younger brother. Just as Qi’s father wanted to say that he didn’t need to carry his son, Qi You squatted down in front of him.
Qi You patted his shoulder, turned his head and said to him: “Hurry up, dad, otherwise the time will be too late and it will be unsafe at night.” He deliberately bit the five words [night, unsafe].
Qi’s father was not too smart, but he was not stupid, and he reacted quickly. I think about the various things my son asked him before in the shop, and the “Brother Zhang” just now.
Some things don’t need to be thought carefully, and you can already understand them.
With a gratified expression on his face, he leaned sideways, tentatively climbing on his son’s back, this posture made his deformed feet more conspicuously exposed.
When they don’t have an absolute force value, and they don’t know the number of the enemy, it is definitely the best policy to show the enemy as weak.
Qi You understood what Qi’s father meant, and was somewhat surprised by the wit of the other party. As expected, a few of those who could survive the famine years to the present are truly silly and sweet.
Luck can save one life and two lives, but it won’t be favored every time. No matter how much luck, it will last a day. Only when he is smart enough can he stand.
When he got up, Qi You stumbled deliberately, then tremblingly carried the person on his back, and walked staggering step by step.
Others didn’t think of other aspects, but thought that Qi You had been on the way for a day and was very tired.
Mother Qi stepped forward and helped her son to persuade, “You’er, don’t be aggressive, you put your dad down, it’s the same if we help him go.”
“It’s okay, mother, I can still bear it.” Qi You stubbornly walked with his father on his back, turning around from time to time, “You are closer to me.”
“Yeah.” Lin Miao’er hugged her younger brother and walked with Qi Mu alone on both sides of Qi You.
Father Qi had inconvenient legs and feet, but his hands were sharp. He held up a wooden board to shield his son from the scorching sun.
Qi You used to look back and remind Qi Mu and Lin Miao’er from time to time to secretly observe the surrounding situation, the more he watched, the more his heart sank.
It is too strange. As one of the most severe droughts, the streets in Pu’an County are barely dirty except for the ragged spots in the past two years.
This kind of dirty does not mean that there is dust everywhere.
However, the conditions in ancient times were limited, and the geographical location of the north was not inherently dominant. Once a disaster occurs, the government will not manage it in time, and it is common for deaths and injuries to occur everywhere.
According to common sense, a disaster occurred in a county like this. At first, the crowd panicked, causing a large number of deaths. The remaining survivors fled and scattered. And this kind of empty city with no other people except the dead, no one. Taking care of it, in such a hot weather, it won’t be long before the dead corpses will decay, and the plague will soon occur, and then people and animals within a radius of ten li will not dare to approach.
But when they approached here, they didn’t smell any peculiar smell at all, and when they saw Zhang Hunzi, the other party was much better than them except that they were dressed in tattered clothes, and they didn’t cover their mouths with cloth. Therefore, Qi You fully thought that Pu’an County had been controlled, at least it was no longer a dead city.
But now it seems that he was wrong. They had been in for so long, except for Zhang Hunzi, and his associates with Zhang Hunzi, he had never seen anyone else.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Qi You’s pupils shrank sharply. It was obviously a scorching sun, but his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, with a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Father Qi was keenly aware of what was wrong with his son, and by wiping his sweat, he leaned close to his ear, “Don’t be afraid, Dad is here, Dad is with you, You’er don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…”
The whispered whisper made Qi You withdraw from that horrible conjecture, and the sweat rolled down his thin cheeks.
He squeezed out a smile, “I know, Dad, I’m not afraid, Qi You is not afraid.”
He has divine power in his body, he is not afraid, he is not afraid.
The God of Traversing lets him through, and he certainly won’t let him burp so quickly.
Qi You, don’t be afraid, the more dangerous you are, the more calm you are.
calm down……
“You’er, here.” Qi Youmeng returned to his senses, and looked up, what was in front of him was not a medicine shop.
The original medicine hall in Ruocheng is now a mere fact, with residues scattered on the ground, and the wooden box containing the medicinal materials has been opened.
Want to come, before Qi You, someone thought of coming here to pick up the omissions.
And after two years, the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials have almost lost.
Mother Qi couldn’t hide her disappointment, “It seems we have gone for nothing.”
Qi You turned a deaf ear to him. After this trip, he could see who the enemy was, and he had already benefited a lot. How could he have gone for nothing.
Moreover, when he watched costume TV dramas with his mother in the past, he would always see that during the disaster years, the pharmacy bosses would choose a part of the precious medicinal materials to keep in a secret place if they could not take all the medicinal materials at the moment. When the place is peaceful in the future, come back again.
Qi You didn’t know where the drugstore owner would hide things, or that he guessed wrong, the other party didn’t hide them at all.
But now they are at the end of the road, and he is always unwilling if he doesn’t try it.
Maybe, maybe God pity, let him meet it.
He recalled the routines in those costume dramas, walked into the inner room, knocked here, swayed there, and even under the dead tree in the backyard, he didn’t let it go.
But no, nothing.
“You’er, what are you looking for?”
“Brother You, speak out, we will help you find it.”
“Brother-in-law?”
Facing the concern of his family, Qi You couldn’t tell. He couldn’t tell. He wanted to find the “treasure” left by the owner of the drugstore.
In particular, it is still unknown whether this “treasure” exists or not.
Qi You shook his head, “It’s nothing. I just wondered if there could be something left in the drugstore. We picked up a leak. Now it seems that I have wishful thinking.”
“Forget it, let’s go.” Qi You left in despair, and when passing by the small pillar, he picked him up easily. In order to prevent him from touching his belly, Qi You took a classic princess hug.
But before he took a few steps, he heard the child’s anxious voice, “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, see what it is, is that what you are looking for?”
Qi You lowered his head and looked up in the direction of the child’s fingers.
I saw a little piece of cloth on the beams of the room, and it was difficult for the small pillars to see it.
The child didn’t know what medicine Qi You was looking for, but he knew instinctively that the more concealed things, the more tricky.
