“It’s the chapter house.”
Song Si said through gritted teeth that no one other than the Zhang family wanted them dead.
“I think so, but the people who came saw that they couldn’t fight and turned around and ran away, not a single person was caught alive, so it can’t be fully confirmed.”
“Are you two all right.”
Song Si asked, worried.
“Yeah.”
“It’s okay.”
Song Wangyue and Gu Yi replied in unison.
Seeing that they really didn’t look like they were fine, Song Si put his heart down, then thinking that Song Wangyue had actually let Xiao Si knock him out first, he had a stern face and wanted to lecture Song Wangyue a few times.
But before he could lecture her, Song Wangyue begged for forgiveness: “Big brother, I was wrong, I also had a momentary lapse of thought and was afraid they would see you and hit you first. I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never let Xiao Si knock you out again if there is any danger.”
“I was wrong too.”
Gu Yi followed suit and apologized sincerely, “I should have stopped her, big brother, if you are angry then be angry with me, in fact I heard her when she instructed Xiao Si, I just wanted to see if Xiao Si could knock big brother unconscious? I didn’t expect this kid to have a strong hand, he knocked you out in one go.”
Song Si,……
I wanted to pick up the towel on one side and slam it in his face.
It took all of Song Si’s strength to hold back, still with a stern face, “Remember your words, in the future, if you come across anything dangerous again, if you dare to knock me out again, see how I will punish you.”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare to die.”
……
The carriage hurried on through the rain, and only after eight or nine miles did it reach a small town.
It was raining, so there was no one in the street. The carriage kept going until it reached an inn in the middle of the town, where the driver stopped the carriage.
The man who greeted the guests was standing inside the door, and when he saw the carriage stop, he immediately came out in the rain, “Please come inside, gentlemen.”
It was raining outside, so the guests were not able to go out, so they gathered in the inn’s lobby to drink idle wine, making a lot of noise.
Once inside, Song Si asked, “Are there any upper rooms left?”
Hearing his words, Gu Yi was overjoyed, he thought he would have to stay in a bad room today?
Without waiting for the mate’s answer, he touched his hand to the money pouch on his waist and said in a wealthy voice, “Six upper …… rooms.”
The word “room” was stuck in his throat when he didn’t touch the money pouch at his waist.
The waiter asked attentively, “Do you want six upper rooms?”
Gu Yi didn’t dare to answer, and stole a glance at Song Wan Yue, who had all his silver tickets on her, so he couldn’t say what he wanted.
“Two upper rooms and three unusual rooms.”
Song Wangyue made her decision.
The mate gave her a strange look, he had thought Song Wangyue was Gu Yi’s maid.
Just now Gu Yi had clearly said six upper rooms, but this little maid dared to change it to two rooms on her own, wasn’t she waiting for their young master to lose his temper?
The young maid was waiting for their young master to lose his temper, but when Song Wangyue’s words fell, Gu Yi immediately nodded in agreement, “Let’s have two upper rooms as she said.”
The servant was even more surprised and looked at her again before leading them up.
As soon as they stepped out of the staircase, they heard a “pop” sound from one of the rooms, followed by the voice of a teenager with a heavy nasal voice, who was sick, “I don’t want to drink, I just don’t want to drink!”
“Jin’er, good medicine is good for the sick, if you don’t drink it, how will you get better?”
The mate led them past the door and opened the doors to the two innermost rooms.
The rooms were clean and tidy, and several people went in.
“Mate, prepare an extra set of bedding for us, my boy will be bedding down for the night.”
The mate answered, turned and went down, and shortly afterwards came up with another mate, one carrying bedding and the other carrying a kettle of hot water, and after setting it down and asking them what they wanted for dinner, turned and went down to prepare it.
A voice from next door came over faintly, “I’m not drinking! I just won’t drink, you guys bring me up again and I’ll drop it!”
Song Wan Yue rubbed her chin, “Big brother, do you want to earn a penny.”
“I want to, I want to.”
Without waiting for Song Si to answer, Gu Yi was already yelling away excitedly, his face full of excitement, “Little girl, do you want to go treat that man and want big brother to pretend to be a boy? He can’t, he’s too old, I can.”
Song Si’s face darkened with a speed visible to the naked eye.
Song Wan Yue wagged her finger, “No, I want to sell pills.”
“Pills?”
Song Si and Gu Yi questioned at the same time.
Song Wangyue took out the pill that had been splashed with Song Min’s dog’s blood.
Seeing these things that were not round, not flat, not square, like they had been chewed by a dog, the corners of Song Si’s mouth twitched, “Yue’er, are you sure this is a pill.”
“Of course, however, we don’t sell these.”
As she spoke, Song Wangyue took out another packet of pills, round and not too big.
“I had my parents help me make these according to the method in the book, one pill tops a bowl of soup, it’s very effective.”
Gu Yi picked one up and looked at it with curiosity, even tossing it in his hand.
Song Si also took one and looked at it, then put it to the end of his nose and smelled it, a strong medicinal smell, he hastily took it away and asked Song Wan Yue, “How much are you going to sell it for a pill?”
“This is just an ordinary pill for wind and cold, let’s not sell it too high, one tael of silver a piece.”
Song Si almost threw the pill out of his hand, “Too, too expensive.”
“It’s not expensive.”
Song Wan Yue put all the pills on the table, “Just this little bit, my parents and I have been making them for several days, the cost of raw materials plus labour costs, one tael of silver is actually less, but who let our family be honest, so if it’s less, then it’s less.”
Song Si looked at her and couldn’t say anything. A pair of medicine for wind and cold only cost a few dozen yuan, and the labour cost was the highest, so even if the three of us made it for five days, it would only cost 300 yuan.
“You two,……”
……
Half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Yi went out from the house first, and when he passed the room where the sound was made, he sneezed a big sneeze, “Ah-choo!”
That room went silent at once.
Gu Yi continued to walk forward, and before he could take two steps, he sneezed several more times in a row, “Ah-choo! Arrrrrrrrrrr! ……”
Song Si “heard the sound” and went out from the house, “I told you that you would catch a cold today, you still didn’t listen, now you feel bad, right?”
Gu Yi rubbed his nose and also made a heavy nasal sound, “It’s okay, I’ll be fine after I take a pill later, last time I was sick, I didn’t even drink a mouthful of soup and medicine, I just took a few pills.”
“Alright, alright, don’t go downstairs, hurry back inside, I’ll get the pills for you.”
The two of them walked back and before they reached the door of this room, the door was opened and a man in his forties came out of it with quick steps, “Wait a minute, the pills you were talking about are ……?”
“Who are you?”
Song Si asked him warily.
“Don’t misunderstand, I am accompanying my little son to catch his exams, on the way my son accidentally caught a wind chill and said he wouldn’t take any medicine, just now I heard you two talking about pills, so I came out to ask.”
