Chapter 12 The disaster of extinction
The high autumn sun at noon covered the entire small courtyard like a warm thin quilt.

Shen Yanhan, who had a headache due to a hangover, rested her chin on her hand and her elbow on the stone table where the wine had been placed last night, and kept sighing.

Opposite her, Hibiscus picked up the rotten beans in the basket with his fingers, put a handful of rotten beans in the medicine grinder with a slight "squeak", and teased in a funny way: "Madam, you are so resentful but resentful. This is uncomfortable." It will take some time to pass."

Shen Yanhan rolled her eyes and still sighed to herself.

Hibiscus ground the beans with medicine, stood up and went to the chicken coop in the backyard. As soon as she poured the crushed beans into the food bowl, the chicks who had just bought them home a few days ago ran towards her happily.The sound of chirping reached the front yard, causing Shen Yanhan to glance back.

The chicken is delicious, but the smell of chicken poop is too unpleasant.

Shen Yanhan seemed to still be able to smell the smell, and wrinkled his nose.

The current situation does not allow her to be picky. She does not need to rely on others to do any work that she can do. Hibiscus is willing to raise chickens and does not require her to take care of them herself. She feels that she is lucky.

"It's already noon. My husband is still awake. Why don't I go ask Doctor Cai to come again?" said Mu Jin, who had returned from feeding the chickens.

Shen Yanhan sat up straight and stared in the direction of Qin Yuehuai, "If he really has the ability, he can carry it by himself. If he has a drink, he can make his old injuries relapse."

"But when I came out, my wife, you were lying on top of me, and you also drank a lot of wine..."

Mu Jin's original intention was to hint that the two of them might have had a dispute, but Shen Yanhan, who didn't remember what happened yesterday at all, said loudly: "I saw that he was about to fall, so I went to save him, and he pulled me down!"

Hibiscus pursed her lips when she heard this, her disbelief evident in her words.

The drunken lady had no consciousness at all, and it was too late to take care of herself. How could she have any consciousness to save others?

Stimulated by Mu Jin's look, Shen Yanhan frowned and asked, "Didn't you see that I got hurt trying to save him?"

This is what Hibiscus doesn't understand the most.

Shen Yanhan's upper lip had a cut last night.

At the mention of the injury, Shen Yanhan felt the pain become more intense. She covered her mouth with her fingers and hissed exaggeratedly.

Mu Jin looked at her contrived movements and snickered, "Then I'll ask Dr. Cai to take a look at it."

Not so much.

With this thought in his mind, Shen Yanhan pretended to complain and said, "I was injured and sick, but I couldn't bear to spend money to hire a doctor. I just fought it myself and got over it. But he was clearly an old injury, and I was told to take good care of him. I was kind and asked Dr. Cai to give him the best medicine again and again, but I kept pouring money into his pit."

Thinking of the expenses these days, Hibiscus sincerely agreed: "It took a lot of savings."

"I can't always do business at a loss..." Shen Yanhan helped Mu Jin pick beans. When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said mysteriously: "Do you know how to get my money back from him?"

"How to take it?"

"I'll first ask him to write me an IOU. Isn't he a scholar? There will always be a time when he becomes prosperous. At that time, I will use evidence to ask him to pay back the money. If he doesn't pay me back, I will hire someone to hold this thing and shout. , Scholars are all face-saving, so if he is forced like this, he will definitely not be able to bear the criticism, and will have to return it immediately."

Hibiscus: "..."

Mu Jin felt that her wife was so poor that she had already thought of ways to collect debts from people in the future, so she couldn't help but curiously asked: "How much do you want him to pay back, my wife?"

"Extension of medical expenses, food expenses, accommodation expenses, daily expenses... Also, the time and energy you and I spend taking care of him have to be converted into wages. How can I say this month..." Shen Yanhan said decently He clapped his fingers and said loudly: "A total of eighty strings."

At this time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, an ordinary commoner like Mu Jin could only earn at most thirty guans a year based on the wages of being hired as a slave in the master's house. This statement by Shen Yanhan was the income of an ordinary person in more than two years. .

Mu Jin snorted in disgust, "What's the difference between this and robbery?"

Shen Yanhan said boldly: "He has been living in Qiuwang Garden for these days, and he can calculate the medical expenses, food, and daily necessities clearly, but am I the one who has the final say on the accommodation and care expenses? I am the first person in this life. Once upon a time, I condescended to serve someone!"

She just helps people replace the flowers in the house with new ones every day. At most, she can only bring him medicine or food. No matter how much more, she can't do it.

Is this also called serving?
Mu Jin said with a smile: "Well, madam, do you think he will agree to sign it?"

"There is a saying that 'people have to bow their heads under the eaves'. If he hadn't written it, I would have found other ways." Shen Yanhan touched his chin and suddenly smiled evilly, "For example, if I sell a tile In a brothel, with his appearance, he is worth hundreds of coins."

Hibiscus was stunned and stunned.

At this time, Cai Yu and Cai Xizhu appeared outside the hospital. As usual, Cai Xizhu rushed into the courtyard ahead of her father and shouted to Shen Yanhan: "Bright, bright, bright, here I come!" Inside the house, Qin Yue woke up from a drowsy sleep. Huaiping lay on the bed, turned his face sideways, and looked into the eyes of the wolfdog lying on the ground, who seemed to have heard the conversation in the courtyard just like him.

Eighty dollars of blackmail, considering that it saved his life, is not too much.

But it was only eighty, and she had the idea of ​​selling him to a brothel as a male prostitute.

What's more, last night she was biting his lips repeatedly...

Qin Yuehuai lay on the bed speechless and choked. When the footsteps outside the door gradually approached the door, he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, biting his back teeth bitterly.

"Mr. Cai, show him quickly why he hasn't woken up yet." Shen Yanhan pushed the door open and said nervously to Cai Yu.

Qin Yuehuai closed his eyes tightly and let out a cold sneer in his heart.

If you don't want to sell him, why are you pretending to be kind?
Cai Yu stepped forward, took Qin Yuehuai's hand and felt his pulse. He looked at Qin Yuehuai's closed eyes several times, then stood up and opened his eyes with two fingers.

Shen Yanhan saw Cai Yu's series of actions and asked, "How is he?"

Looking at the patient who was pretending to sleep, Cai Yu considered his words: "Mr. Lang is sweating all over, his pulse is rapid, and his eyes are moving slightly. Seeing him like this, I will soon..."

Shen Yanhan couldn't understand Cai Yu's confusing medical terminology. Seeing his frown, she answered, "You're going to die soon?"

Qin Yuehuai: "..."

Cai Yu: "No, I will wake up soon."

"Oh." Shen Yanhan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Before Cai Yulin left, he finally expressed his worries: "He is now weak, with empty energy and blood. He can't stand stimulation, let alone have strength. Madam Shen, please don't fight with him at this time."

"No!" Shen Yanhan firmly denied this, "I didn't mess with him."

"Then... don't touch his injury with heavy objects." Cai Yu said.

"No!" Shen Yanhan, who had most of his body pressed against the other party yesterday, denied it again, "He ate too much and drank too much, so he fell down on his own."

In order to convince Cai Yu, Shen Yanhan added: "The wound must have hit the edge of the table when he fell."

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes last night that Qin Yuehuai fell in a completely opposite direction from the table, Cai Yu might have thought that what Shen Yanhan said made sense.

At this moment, Cai Yu looked at Shen Yanhan's clear eyes, without any trace of lying, and really couldn't guess the reason for the patient's sudden illness.

"I'm afraid it won't take long for Lang Jun to recover from his illness. Living in a place like the countryside will only delay his studies. No wonder I talk a lot. As long as he can bear it, Mrs. Shen will still be able to bear it." It would be better to send him to the city and let him continue his studies..." For the sake of Shen Yanhan's loneliness, Cai Yu added another point.

Shen Yanhan thought that Cai Yu and the villagers believed that Qin Yuehuai was her cousin, but in fact Cai Yu had a clear mind.

From the day he first came back for consultation, when he saw Shen Yanhan looking curiously at this man up and down, he had already seen the signs. Afterwards, Shen Yanhan never mentioned this man's name and was quite comfortable getting along with him. Being a stranger, Cai Yu became more and more sure of his guess.

Shen Yanhan replied to him: "Then you should give him some good medicine to help him recover as soon as possible, so that I can send him away as soon as possible."

send him away.

She didn't know where he lived yet, but she could imagine where he was going to be sent.

Hearing the excitement in the voice of the young lady talking outside the door, and then feeling the dense pain in his waist and abdomen, and realizing that he could no longer walk at this moment or else his life would be in danger, Qin Yuehuai always felt that a disaster was coming.

 Qin Yuehuai thought he was going to be sold for money, but he never expected that he would live a life without shame.
