Chapter 1606 Attack the city and ask for help
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Madam Lu asked, looking at Shopkeeper Lu who was lying on the bed, clutching her heart and looking uncomfortable, feeling very worried.
Getting sick at this time can be life-threatening. It is difficult to even buy medicine, let alone a doctor.
Shopkeeper Lu also knew that he was ill now, and he was stingy and reluctant to spend a lot of money to hire a doctor. He endured the dull pain in his heart and said, "It's nothing serious, I'm just depressed. I guess it's because I was beheaded yesterday." So disgusting."
After saying this, he started to retch.
Ms. Lu quickly supported him and patted his back: "How are you? Does it feel better to spit it out?"
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water. Will he feel better?
"Leave me alone, take care of your family well, and don't let the Zhonghou family take advantage of our family's benefits."
The Zhonghou family were servants bought by the Lu family, but now that there is a war and the city is in chaos, shopkeeper Lu is afraid that the Zhonghou family will steal the deed of sale and then steal the Lu family's money, causing the family to run away.
Mrs. Lu said: "I'll let the boss and the second one keep an eye on me, don't worry."
Shopkeeper Lu was anxious and shouted: "Why don't you let the boss and the second brother keep an eye on it? Let brother Lu keep an eye on it. If the Zhonghou family finds out, something will happen to him."
Brother Lu is the son of Shopkeeper Lu. During the drought in the northwest, Shopkeeper Lu's eldest brother and his family died, leaving only a son and a daughter. The boy was Brother Lu, and he lived with Shopkeeper Lu's family.
The girl stayed with her uncle's family, and now she is married to her uncle's son, so she has found her home.
Mrs. Lu said: "Brother Lu went out to chop down trees and hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, I will ask him to keep an eye on that family."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Brother Lu's voice came faintly: "Second uncle, second aunt, open the door for me. I'm back looking for firewood."
"Have a rest. I'll open the door for him." Madam Lu stood up, but did not open the door for Brother Lu. Instead, she went to the kitchen first and brought the meat and vegetable buns from the kitchen back to the couple's room. Open the door for Brother Lu.
Seeing Brother Lu coming back with only one load of firewood, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why only one load of firewood? It's still firewood. How can we burn it?"
Brother Lu was only fourteen years old, two years younger than Shopkeeper Lu's eldest son. Hearing this, he said aggrievedly: "Aunt, it's so chaotic outside. Every household has no firewood. They even cut down the trees. This Third brother Xu helped me **** it..."
Seeing Mrs. Lu's cold expression, she hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, aunt, the firewood can be burned even if it is left in the sun for two days. I also made an appointment with Brother Xu to go to the abandoned house tomorrow to remove the old wood from the house. It wont run out of firewood.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu put away her cold face and looked at Brother Lu's dirty appearance. She said with disgust: "You're so dirty. Hurry up and pick up the firewood to the kitchen. There is a bowl of soybean and sorghum porridge in the kitchen for you." Yours, after eating, go to the back room and keep an eye on Zhonghou's family... That family is dishonest and wants to take advantage of the war to steal the deed and escape. You have to keep a close eye on him. If he runs away, we will find him. You settle the score!"
Brother Lu frowned when he heard this. He wanted to say that Uncle Zhonghou's family was not like this, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he could only nod his head and said: "Hey, my nephew knows."
After saying that, he carried a heavy load of firewood and headed towards the kitchen. He untied the firewood and placed it under the eaves of the kitchen to dry before going into the kitchen to drink porridge.
The sorghum and soybean porridge didnt even contain salt, so it was very unpalatable, but Brother Kelu still ate it with great care... Those little beggars in the west of the city didnt even have to eat soybeans.
Just smelling the aroma of meat left in the iron pot, Brother Lu's eyes were still red... If his parents had not died, he would definitely be able to eat meat every day like his second uncle's cousins. But there is no rush. The eldest sister said that his uncle has already made arrangements for him to get married. After he gets married, he will be able to separate the family. In the future, he will not have to be angry with his second uncle's family, and he will also be allocated half of the restaurant, Lujia Restaurant. The previous shopkeeper was his father, not his second uncle.
After Brother Lu finished his porridge, he went back to the house, got a coat, and went to sit outside the house to stare at the Zhonghou family.
He didn't stare for long. After shopkeeper Lu and his family fell asleep, he went to sleep with Zhonghou and his family in the back room.
The next day, he got up before dawn and stood outside again to stare, so that his second aunt and his family would not scold him when they saw him.
But something happened in the second room today. Brother Lu had just stood outside for a long time when he heard Madam Lu shouting: "Brother Lu from the Zhonghou family, come quickly, help!"
"Uncle Zhonghou, Aunt Zhonghou, come quickly, something happened over there with the second uncle!" Brother Lu called to the Zhonghou family and ran to the main courtyard first. He saw Madam Lu spinning around in the yard in fright, looking like she was in a state of confusion. look.
When Mrs. Lu saw Brother Lu coming, she pointed to the room and said, "Your second uncle, he's going to die!"
ah?
Brother Lu was shocked. It was fine yesterday. Why is it not working anymore?
He hurriedly rushed into the house to see Shopkeeper Lu... Shopkeeper Lu was lying on the bed, his upper abdomen near his heart was bulging, blood was pouring out of his mouth, and he had fainted.
Brother Lu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't dare to touch Shopkeeper Lu. He immediately rushed out of the house and said to Madam Lu, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. I'll call the doctor right away."
After saying that, he ran away, but did not run to the hospital. Instead, he went to Xu's house and begged: "Third brother Xu, my second uncle is suffering from an emergency and is about to die. Your eldest brother works in the Lei family's caravan. Please take me to the Lei Family Caravan and ask Brother Xu to help invite the doctor from the Lei Family Caravan to treat my second uncle."
Xu San had just woken up not long ago, and was about to take the tools and go to the deserted house in the west of the city to scrape the roof and bring back the wooden beams for firewood. Hearing this, he laughed: "Your second uncle has finally been punished by God? How can we save him?" What does he do? If he dies, you can separate the family."
Brother Lu was extremely anxious and said, "Brother Xu, please stop joking. My second uncle is really seriously ill. Take me to the Lei Family Caravan to ask for a doctor!"
He goes out every day to find firewood for his family, so he knows that the medical center and drug store in the city have long been closed, and he has no money. The only place where he can go to find a doctor now is the Lei family caravan.
"Chengchengcheng, don't pull me. I'll tell my mother and leave." Xu San said. After going back to greet my mother and second brother, he took the big knife for self-defense and handed Brother Lu a hatchet. , went to the Lei family caravan.
As soon as they arrived at the main house of the Lei family caravan, they were stopped on the street. After being asked for their identities, the people from the Lei family caravan asked them to wait while they went to call Xu over.
Nearly two-quarters of an hour later, Xu Dacai rushed over. When he saw Xu San, he asked anxiously: "Lao San, why are you here? But something happened at home?"
Xu San shook his head and told the story about shopkeeper Lu.
Xu Da frowned and said, "Why are you suddenly so sick that you are about to die? But the doctor at the main house is also busy making medicine and has no time to go out to treat people."
Xu Da didnt want to help Shopkeeper Lu. After all, Shopkeeper Lu always bullied Brother Lu and wanted to take away Dafangs share of the family property, but he thought of what the chief manager had said. The Rong people might poison the city. If they found out, Any strange illness must be reported immediately.
Shopkeeper Lu's illness was very strange upon hearing it. After Xu Da went to tell the people in the Lei family's caravan who were guarding the street, he took Brother Lu and others to the main house.
