Chapter 10 10. Sun
After a good night's sleep, Nan Xi took the money to the village chief's house the next day.
This was her first time visiting the village chief's house. Looking at the tile-roofed house in front of her, Nan Xi had to sigh that the village chief was still rich!
The village chief had a son who broke his leg after being crushed by a carriage in an accident many years ago. He was supposed to be a scholar, but he never stood up again because of the accident.
She came here today, in addition to buying land, she also wanted to help him see if his leg could be cured, so as to repay the village chief's kindness.
Just as Nan Xi was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
The visitor is the village chief's wife, Mrs. Sun, who was married from the next village.
"Who are you?"
Mrs. Sun looked at the shabby but good-looking woman in front of her and did not recognize who she was.
"Auntie, I am Nan Xi."
Nan Xi still has a good impression of Sun.
This is a kind-hearted woman.
In the past, she was beaten all over by the old woman from the Nan family. She would always sneak to the tree at the end of the village to cry secretly and treat the wounds secretly.
Every time Mrs. Sun saw her, she would give her the medicine that her son used to heal his wounds.
In the past, Nan Xi didn't understand the ways of the world, and those who were kind to her were so hurt by her that they stopped paying attention to her.
The woman in front of me had also been pushed down by Nan Xi before, and even broke her arm.
The most outrageous thing Nan Xi did in the past was saying that her son was lame in front of Mrs. Sun.
This is a direct stab in the heart!
This is a bit excessive.
Sun's face suddenly turned ugly when she looked at Nan Xi in front of her.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome in our home."
Saying that, he closed the door.
In the past, she was just being sentimental. Seeing how pitiful the child was, she wanted to help, but she didn't expect that she would help a white-eyed wolf.
"Auntie, don't close the door! I'm here today to buy land from the village chief."
Nan Xi smiled flatteringly.
In my heart I was gnashing my teeth.
Wasn't Nan Xi a fool in the past?
Others were misunderstood for being kind to her, but if it were her place, she would have slapped them to the ground.
The village chief and his wife are so kind to people.
"Just you? You can't even support yourself and you want to buy land? The Nan family wants to eat your flesh and drink your blood. You even want to cut off the meat yourself and feed it to them! They can let you save money to buy land.
?Do not make jokes."
Sun still hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Although the second oldest couple in the Nan family are weak in character, they are kind-hearted and can always distinguish between good and bad.
At least they know how to be grateful to anyone who treats them well.
Unlike this Nan Xi, she is just a piece of mud who cannot stand up to the wall. Whoever treats her well will hurt the most.
Nan Xi was not angry after listening to her words, with a smile on her face, "Auntie, I am no longer the Nan Xi I was before. I have changed a lot in the past few months. I made money hunting in the mountains. I can buy land to support myself.
."
My aunt said that because she was still angry, and she still cared about her.
Sun was stunned, the Nan Xi in front of her was indeed different from before.
In the past, Nan Xi was always dirty, and her face could not be seen clearly.
He wouldn't speak so generously.
"You, are you really here to buy land today?"
Sun had to admit that the current Nan Xi was more pleasing to her eyes.
If this child really changes, his life may be better in the future.
"It's true. I met the village chief uncle yesterday. It was the village chief uncle who asked me to come to my house today."
Nan Xi chuckled, took the purse from her waist and shook it.
Only then did Mrs. Sun remember that when the old man came back from the fields, he asked his son to write a land deed. It turned out to be for Nan Xi.
"Okay, come in." Mrs. Sun's face looked better, and then she opened the door and let her in.
If it were before, she would not have let Nan Xi enter this family!
"Old man, Nan Xi is here." Mrs. Sun called out and went to the backyard with the vegetable basket.
The village chief was applying medicine to his son's leg in the east wing, and he came out when he heard his old wife's voice.
Seeing Nan Xi, the village chief suddenly had a smile on his face, "It's Xi Xi here! Come in and drink some water."
He asked his son to write the land deed yesterday, thinking that he would send it to him if Nan Xi didn't come.
"Uncle Village Chief, are you applying medicine to Brother Changheng again? Is your leg feeling better?"
When Nan Xi approached the village chief, she smelled a strong medicinal smell on his body.
As soon as she smelled these medicines, she knew they were inferior herbs, and they even contained the smell of rotten grass.
The village chief's body froze slightly as he walked. When he arrived at the main room and sat down, his face was full of sadness, "Your brother Chang Heng's legs are still like that, and they are even worse than before."
He only has two sons. The eldest son is named Wu Changqing. He has already married and started a business and is living separately from them.
The younger son's name is Wu Changheng. He was originally a good student, but after he injured his leg, he never left the house again.
Now the village chief and his wife are left with their youngest son, but their legs are like this.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't sad.
"Uncle Village Chief, let me try to see if I can cure Brother Changheng?"
Nan Xi also had her own confidence in asking this.
The elixir in her little gourd is her confidence.
Even if she didn't rely on these elixirs, she would still have enough confidence to help him heal his legs, but it would just take a little longer.
It will take at least a year.
The village chief thought he had heard wrong, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, I know you have studied medicine with others before, didn't you only study for a year?"
Nan Xi said that he could cure his son's legs, but the village chief didn't believe it.
Nan Xi once learned some medical skills from an old doctor in the village. After just one year of learning, the old doctor passed away.
Later, Nan Xi gave up and never learned medical skills again. People in the village also forgot that Nan Xi had learned medical skills.
Can studying medicine be that simple?
It won't be possible to cure diseases and save lives in just a few decades.
When the village chief said this, Nan Xi remembered that she had studied medicine for a year in the past.
This just gave her an excuse.
"Uncle Village Chief, let me try it! I have been secretly learning medical skills since my master passed away, and now my medical skills are very good."
What Nan Xi said was also true.
In the past, Nan Xi secretly learned medical skills, but her talent was limited, so being able to understand herbal medicine was already pretty good.
"Ah? Are you really able to do it?" The village chief also sought medical treatment for a sudden illness.
Meeting Nan Xi's eyes, the village chief wanted to believe her for a moment.
In the end, he gave up the idea. How could he be so stupid as to trust a little girl?
The senior doctors in the town were helpless, let alone a teenage girl like her.
"Forget it! This is the land deed, I've already written it."
The village chief really wanted his son to get better, but he didn't dare to gamble for fear that something would happen to his son again.
The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have moved out because the younger son's illness is not a drag on them.
If something happens to the younger son again, how will they survive?
