Chapter 53 Good Luck
By the time Li Qingyou hitched the donkey cart and hit the road, the coachman had already controlled the horse. Looking from a distance at the bruised and swollen boy behind him, a smile appeared on Adi's lips.
"What happened to their carriage?" Li Qingyou looked back without knowing why. She didn't stop when she passed by. Although she took someone's money, she felt unhappy after all, and she didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
"Who knows, let's get some retribution." Adi said nonchalantly: "There's still a long way ahead. Can we get there before dark?"
Li Qingyou glanced at him, her face was still obedient and sensible. Now she even wondered if she had misjudged his harsh look just now.
"Brother, you can't be too vengeful, that's not good." Li Qingyou said: "And you are too impulsive when things happen. We are just ordinary people with no power. We can't afford to offend anyone. If anything happens in the future,
You have to think about the consequences first.”
"I know." Adi said nonchalantly.
I can tolerate everything else, but I can't tolerate bullying sister Qingyou.
Li Qingyou could tell at a glance that he didn't take it seriously. She looked at him with a sullen face. She didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause if he didn't restrain his temper.
"I really understand." After receiving the warning look from Sister Qingyou, Adi quickly acted obediently, resting his head on Li Qingyou's shoulder, holding her arm and shaking, "Sister, sister..."
"Okay, okay, if you shake me again, I will puke." Li Qingyou had no resistance to such a brother, she smiled and rubbed his head, and gave him a few more instructions before continuing on his way.
The young man named Qi'er and his horse were only hit on the lip by a stone and were not seriously injured. Soon they caught up and overtook Li Qingyou's donkey cart.
When the two horses crossed each other, the young man rubbed his sore leg and looked at his brother angrily. Just now, he vaguely saw something hitting the horse. There were only two of them nearby, so this kid must be up to something.
Adi met the other person's gaze without any fear, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but Sister Qingyou was right next to him, so even if he had any thoughts, he would not show them here.
The same goes for the young man. Since his mother was in the carriage, he didn't dare to do anything else.
The carriage quickly ran away, and on the surface it was calm. No one knew the smoke between the eyes of the two boys just now.
In the middle of the afternoon, Li Qingyou and his brother finally arrived at Fucheng. This is Liangzhou Prefecture, and Qingshan County is under the jurisdiction of this place.
When the siblings entered the city, they were not in a hurry to go to the drugstore, but planned to find a place to stay first.
Li Qingyou came here with Old Man Li once last year. They lived in the Chijia old store on the edge of Beicheng District. The environment was dirty and very shabby. The Datong shops in a row were usually occupied by cyclists passing by or doing menial jobs. It was easy to
Not to mention throwing things away, the room smells like stinky feet and farts.
The only advantage is that it is cheap, only ten cents per person.
But this time Li Qingyou planned to change places. He walked around and pointed at the Fuji Inn across the street, "Let's stay here tonight. It looks cleaner."
Looking back, I saw Adi looking around and not knowing what he was looking at. He thought it was his first time to come to Fucheng and admired everything he saw. He crooked him with his arm and said, "I'm talking to you. How about living here?"
Of course Adi had no problem with it, so the siblings entered the inn and paid sixty cents for a lower-class room in order to get a cheaper price.
A room with one bed, one table and two chairs is everything. Fortunately, the room and bedding are relatively clean, and the privacy is relatively good. Li Qingyou is very satisfied.
There is no restaurant in the small inn, so you can only eat out if you want to eat. Although she was very tired after a bumpy day, Li Qingyou still couldn't suppress her excitement. She took a drink of water and rested her feet before dragging her brother out.
"Let's get some medicine first, and then let the doctor give you a good look, and then I'll take you to eat delicious food." Li Qingyou took his brother to the Desheng Hall in the south of the city, where Old Li bought his cough medicine.
In this era, opening a pharmacy requires a secret recipe. A secret recipe for treating stomach upset can support a shop, and Qingyin Dan, which specializes in treating coughs, is one of the secret recipes of Desheng Tang.
As a result, during the consultation, Adi insisted that Li Qingyou see him first, otherwise he would rather not see him or take medicine.
"This is just a skin injury, and the skin is not broken. Just rub it with medicinal wine when you go home." Li Qingyou felt sorry for money. Everything in this city is expensive.
Adi didn't say anything, but looked at her with his big eyes like glass beads. Sister Qingyou was beaten because of him.
After getting along with each other for several months, Li Qingyou has finally figured out some of Adi's temperament. This kid can be very stubborn at times, and even ten oxen can't get him back when he is sure of something.
But he had such a face again, especially those eyes. Whenever he looked at her with this look, she couldn't resist it, let alone hit or scold him.
"I really lost to you, I see, can't I see?" Li Qingyou glared at him, caught a glimpse of his bright smile that turned from gloomy to bright, and thought of the money again, let alone mentioning this complicated mood.
Just like Li Qingyou said, there is only a mark on her back, and it will be no problem if she opens a bottle of medicinal wine.
On the other hand, when Adi was seeing the doctor, the doctor's brows suddenly relaxed and wrinkled, which made Li Qingyou's heart pick up in her throat. She didn't dare to disturb the doctor's consultation. It wasn't until the doctor withdrew his hand to feel the pulse that he hurriedly asked how it was.
"This child once suffered from tuberculosis." The doctor's words made Li Qingyou turn pale in fright.
Tuberculosis is the modern tuberculosis. Although it is not a serious problem in modern times, in ancient times it was equivalent to a death sentence.
No wonder Adi coughed often, especially during the time when he was first picked up. He coughed half a night every night. When it was severe, he felt like he wouldn't be able to breathe. Li Qingyou was frightened when he heard this.
"You said you had it before, but now..." Li Qingyou eagerly grabbed the doctor's arm, "And he hasn't coughed much recently."
The doctor was also puzzled that this medicine shop was opened by his family, and the Qingyin Pill was his ancestral secret recipe. No one knew the properties of the medicine better than him. It was possible to stabilize the disease and alleviate it, but it was impossible to cure it completely.
"Have you used any other medicines?" the doctor asked without answering.
With his passion for medicine, his eyes were a little eager, which made Li Qingyou feel uncertain and shook her head. She had always regarded Qingyin Pill as a panacea.
In the end, the doctor attributed this to good luck.
"You need to continue taking the medicine, at least for three months. There should be no serious problems in the future." The doctor prescribed the prescription, "If anything goes wrong again, please come back."
Li Qingyou took the prescription and thanked her profusely, and took her brother to get the medicine. She handed the five taels of silver given by the lady to the cabinet, but she was stopped by her brother again.
