After another seven or eight days, Dr. Huang from the village checked Chu Ci's pulse and finally announced that he could stop taking the medicinal soup. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are no precious medicinal materials here, the medicine money of dozens of yuan a day is still indispensable. The family's money has been almost spent on Chu Ci's imperial examination, and he will be able to bring some income to the family after he leaps to the dragon gate this year.

.

But no one expected that something like this would happen again. In order to bring Chu Ci back for treatment, they sold all their land in exchange for his life.

The corn harvested last time was the last thing they could get from the fields.

For the sake of Chu Ci being a scholar, Doctor Huang gave them the medicine on credit these days, but today he had to settle the account no matter what.

While Doctor Huang was talking to Chu Guang outside, Aunt Chu went into her room and took out a cloth bag. She rubbed the bag several times before handing it to Doctor Huang.

"Sister-in-law, this..."

"Take it, I know you have given us the cheapest medicines. Now that the waiter is cured, we have nothing to thank you for."

Doctor Huang wanted to say something else, but he still didn't speak after opening his mouth. He sighed and left.

Chu Ci was very curious about what was in the bag and why everyone looked helpless.

He quietly pulled Chu Yuan into the room, "Xiao Yuan, what is in grandma's bag?"

Chu Yuan shook his head, "I don't know either, but grandma often takes it out to play with at night. She said it was given to her by grandpa."

Chu Ci understood it as soon as she heard it. It was probably a token of love given to her by Chu Ci's father, which was why she was so reluctant to part with it.

Chu Ci made a decision in his heart. Now that he felt physically better, it was time to do something for the family.

Chu Ci was born into a scholarly family, and his grandparents and parents were both cultural people. His grandparents worked at the Institute of Ancient Characters, and his parents were archaeologists, and they were never at home for a few days throughout the year.

Perhaps because of their high level of cultural knowledge, they adhere to the practice of keeping the friendship between gentlemen as light as water, and they always exchange some academic knowledge when the family gets together.

Chu Ci graduated from Department B and chose to be a high school Chinese teacher instead of continuing his studies. They thought it was very irrational, but they respected his choice.

Chu Ci was even more frustrated. In fact, he would rather his family yelled at him instead of maintaining such a cold family relationship.

He didn't know how his family would react when they received the notification of his death, but he knew that this pain would not defeat them, and they would immediately pick up the pieces and continue to devote themselves to their research.

During the few days here, he experienced the happiness of an ordinary family. Although they were poor, they would sit together and say a few heart-warming words every day, and the warm concern was all there.

He didn't know whether it was because he accepted the memory of the original owner or what, but he was now able to accept the family well.

"Mom, I want to go to town tomorrow."

"In town?" Aunt Chu glanced at him, "Yes, you are almost running out of paper and ink sticks. I'm going to ask your elder brother to borrow some money."

"No, Mom, I didn't go there just to buy that." Chu Ci quickly stopped her. He knew that the family had no money, and if he went to ask for it from his eldest brother, he would probably have to ask for his sister-in-law's dowry.

His sister-in-law is a taciturn woman who doesn't like to talk much, but she works quickly and is kind-hearted.

Aunt Chu was silent for a while, "Oh, I can't help you."

"Mom, I'm sorry for you and my eldest brother. I've made you worry these days. I will work with you to support this family in the future," Chu Ci said.

Aunt Chu wiped away her tears, feeling that the child had become more sensible after going through life and death.

Chu Guang outside the house also sighed lowly. He was very embarrassed when his mother said that she wanted to get money from him because he didn't have any money. Xiu Niang did have some money, but a man can't support his family.

He also felt bad about having to use his wife's dowry money to support his younger brother.

But his brother's words also made him sad. An eldest brother is like his father. His father died early, and his eldest brother is useless...

Early the next morning, Chu Ci had breakfast and said goodbye to his family. When he was leaving, his sister-in-law stopped him and said, "Uncle, wait a minute."

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Do you want me to take something to the market to sell?" Chu Ci noticed that his sister-in-law would embroider some trinkets in her spare time, and thought she wanted him to take her to the market to sell.

"No," his sister-in-law wiped her hands, and then took out a small dime of silver from her sleeve. It was black and yellow, about the size of two cents. "You can use these to buy things. Paper and ink are indispensable for scholars.

of."

Chu Ci looked at his sister-in-law intently, and after a while he took the silver. He held it tightly in his hand, and it hurt when he put it down. Chu Ci bent down and saluted her, "Brother and sister-in-law's kindness will be remembered by Ci."

In the heart.”

Shen Xiuniang looked very panicked, and she quickly called Chu Ci up, "Don't dare do this, we are a family."

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Well, we are a family. I'm leaving, sister-in-law."

Shen Xiuniang watched Chu Ci's back walking further and further away. She also felt that this brother-in-law seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.

Chu Ci was walking on the road, and villagers greeted him along the way. They were all from the same village. Who didn't know that Chu Ci had been smart since he was a child, and there was no need to cheat at all. But even though his luck was relatively bad, it seemed that they, the common people, were still honest.

Farming is better...

After leaving the village, there is a section of mountain road with mountains on both sides. It is not too high and is not dangerous. Some trees on the mountain are losing their leaves, and this mountain road is covered with a thick golden carpet, which looks very beautiful.

Chu Ci thought, if there was such a way in modern times, those little girls would definitely take pictures non-stop with their mobile phones, and everyone would be able to post a nine-square grid in their circle of friends. But in ancient times, this was a very common scene.

, pedestrians who are hurrying on their way will not even look down at the road.

At the moment, he is still a little leisurely, but if he can't find a job to solve the family's predicament, he probably won't be able to stop and appreciate these things in the future.

Chu Ci was walking, when suddenly a black animal rushed down from the mountain. There were long fangs in its mouth, and it arched toward Chu Ci as if lifeless.

Chu Ci was frightened all of a sudden. He was a weak scholar who had not mastered the martial arts boxing during the military training. It would be too difficult for him to fight a wild boar, right?

Fortunately, his legs were not weak from fear and he knew how to dodge to the side, otherwise the wild boar would really hit him.

But this avoidance caused the wild boar to notice him, turn its head, and run towards Chu Ci again.

My life is over! Chu Ci had no choice but to close his eyes because he couldn't bear to look at his own death.

Suddenly, some warm liquid rushed onto his face, and Chu Ci's face darkened instantly, right? Just push him to death. What does it mean to pee a little?

Chu Ci wiped his face and opened his eyes, only to find the ugly wild boar lying on the ground. There was a long incision on its neck, and blood was flowing out.

A young man dressed as a hunter and wrapped in animal skins stood next to the wild boar holding a big knife and looked at Chu Ci curiously.

"Thank you, righteous man, for saving me." Chu Ci quickly saluted. If it weren't for this man, he would have lost his life here today.

"Hahaha, you are Chu Xiucai, right? I said you scholars are very polite, so why thank you? I drove down this pig." This hunter had a cheerful personality, and he immediately grinned and laughed.

"How can you drive the pigs onto the road? What if the people who come are not a strong man like me, but some old and young people?" Chu Ci was very angry.

"Well, didn't your village chief tell you? We were not asked to kill wild boars today. It seems that this road is not allowed to pass." The hunter scratched his head, looking a little at a loss.

"..." Chu Ci sighed inwardly. No wonder everyone else just walked to the side path. He also wondered why everyone liked the muddy path. It turned out to be this reason.

"I'm sorry about that, brother, but I killed the wild boar and you weren't hurt, so our matter is even."
