After dressing as a widow

He was sitting on the stool. The foot he stepped on the ground was not small, but the toes were round, and the flesh on the soles of the feet was white. The toes were slightly curled up because of the hot water, and he looked a little pitiful.

Just as he was about to stand up to refill some cold water, Gu Lin pressed his shoulder: "Your socks are all off, I'll go and change the water for you."

"Aren't you going to take a shower?"

"It's okay to do it later." Gu Lin squatted down and picked up the basin, went to the bathroom tank and added two scoops of cold water, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water to make sure it wouldn't be too hot, and brought it to Lin Zhen's stool.

He looked at the blisters on Lin Zhen's toes and heels, frowned, and went to take out the small medicine box that was always prepared: "Uncle Lin, I picked out the blisters for you, and then added some medicine."

"I can come by myself. You put the medicine and the needle next to me. Test it with a lamp."

"There are two growing on the side, you can't reach them." Gu Lin looked at him and stated the facts in a straightforward manner.

Lin Zhen looked at the feet, indeed, the two blisters on the outside of the feet were a bit tricky, and it was really inconvenient to do it by yourself.

He looked at Lin Xiaoyao who was still busy in front, and looked at the child he brought up with his own hands, "Okay, then I'll wash it first, and after washing it, you can pick up some water for me."

"Yeah." Gu Lin opened the small medicine box, which contained commonly used medicinal powders for treating wounds, and some herbal medicine packs for treating typhoid fever and headaches. These were all prepared by Lin Zhen. He said that sometimes if you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, the medicine shop is not open. The family can handle it.

No, it's used now.

Gu Lin lit the fire pocket, lit the oil lamp, and roasted the slightly longer needles than ordinary sewing needles on a slightly lower flame. He heard the sound of two feet flicking water in the basin, Out of the corner of his eye, he saw feet in the water that looked like two lotus petals.

The owner of the foot is troubled by blisters, and moves his toes from time to time, like jade.

Round and cute.

After Lin Zhen washed his feet, he was about to bend over to wipe them. Gu Lin, who moved a stool to sit next to him, suddenly reached out to grab his feet onto his knees, and wiped the water droplets on his feet with a towel.

"!!!" Lin Zhen quickly shrank his feet.

But he was sitting on a stool without a backrest, not a chair, and his body lost his support and fell backwards. In a panic, Gu Lin leaned forward, supported him behind his back with one hand, and pressed his feet with the other.

Lin Zhen blinked, "You, let go of my feet, I can wipe them myself."

Gu Lin supported his back and let him return to the previous sitting position, looking at him with dark eyes: "It's just a matter of convenience, you are my Uncle Lin, what's the point of wiping your feet."

……

That's right, who told you that you are taller than me, which makes me a little uncomfortable.

Lin Zhen moved his feet: "Then quickly wipe off the blisters and pick out the blisters. You have to go shopping tomorrow. Go early to buy fresh ones."

"I will take a day off from school tomorrow and go with you."

"School leave?"

"Masters are concerned about the outing today, everyone is tired."

"Oh, your academy is very good." Lin Zhen said that he really thinks Huaishan Academy is very good, no matter if he is rich and powerful or a poor student, as long as he has the ability, he will not refuse anyone.

In Bingzhou's Chenxia Academy, Gu Lin, Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen couldn't study these things, so they could only find a teacher to follow them like in the town.

As he said that, Lin Zhen became gossipy, looking at Gu Lin's high nose and drooping eyelashes: "Does the master in your academy have a girl who is about the same age as you? Will we meet in the academy?" ?”

Gu Lin put his two feet together on his knees, his ankles were connected to his slender calves, and the soft calf was slightly pressed out of the flesh because of the fit of his legs.

Gu Lin pinched the sole of his foot, and the long needle in his hand pierced the first blister: "Masters don't live in the academy, and their families are all in the city. Our academy doesn't allow girls and brothers to enter."

"Ah?" Lin Zhen guessed that his favorite person was the wife of the master's family before, and he was a little discouraged when he said that, but he guessed wrong.

Gu Lin quickly picked all the blisters on one foot, and started to pick the other foot.

Lin Zhen was born with white skin, dazzlingly white, and his frame is the smallest among his brothers, but he ate and drank well all the year round, and he was not skinny, and his flesh was extremely soft when pinched.

Being pinched by Gu Lin, who is two degrees darker than him, the ultimate white and light honey color are intertwined...

It makes people want to smash this white into pieces.

Lin Xiaoyao, who came to get things from the front, saw the two people under the eaves at a glance, and saw Lin Zhen's feet resting on Gu Lin's lap, while Gu Lin lowered her head and pinched his feet before picking up blisters for him. A string in the bottom of my heart was faintly touched.

He didn't know why he walked over in such a panic, "Third Brother, Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"

The blisters have been picked out, and Gu Lin is applying medicine to his wound. Lin Zhen raised his head and said, "I have blisters on my feet, and Xiao Lin is putting medicine on me. Have you cleaned it up?"

"Not yet, the weather is getting hotter, I'll get some insect repellent medicine packs and put them in the corner..." Lin Xiaoyao heard that Gu Lin was just picking up blisters for him, and she felt relieved, because she had such thoughts And feel ashamed.

What do the two father and son have, but they just pick a bubble.

With a smile on Lin Xiaoyao's face, she shook her head and went to get the insect repellent medicine package.

But a bolt of lightning strikes Lin Xiaoyao's head. The two father and son are not Gu Lin and Gu Da, but his third brother is Fu Lang and brother.

No matter where it is, when the child is nine or ten years old, he must keep a proper distance from the daughter, brother, and parents at home.

If Gu Lin picks up water for Gu Da, anyone can see that he is a kind father and a filial son.

But it happened to be Lin Zhen.

His step-father, a husband.

Lin Xiaoyao squeezed the hand holding the medicine bag heavily, and turned to go under the eaves.

And at this moment, the medicine on Lin Zhen's feet has been finished, and he has already returned to his room. He doesn't know what to do, only Gu Lin is bending over to pack the small medicine box.

He was still wearing the black wide-sleeved robe, and because he had not yet reached the age of crowning, his hair was only tied with a ribbon, and the long hair fell down, almost reaching his thighs.

When he saw Lin Xiaoyao, he nodded politely: "Uncle."

Lin Xiaoyao looked at him, trying to see some traces on his face, but unfortunately, she didn't see anything. Gu Lin was still the sensible and polite child who had nothing wrong with him except for being a bit solitary.

Lin Xiaoyao looked at the back of him taking the small medicine box to put away, and patted her forehead.

Blame yourself, because with someone you like, everyone looks like you.

Xiao Lin has read so many sage books, it's because he is shallow.

The next day, Gu Lin, who was out of school, followed Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao to the market to buy ingredients for the store. Seeing that the hot weather was coming, the cold drinks that had been rested for several months could start to be put on the shelves again.

Therefore, saltpeter for ice making is the bulk of this purchase.

Lin Zhen asked Lin Xiaoyao to buy other things, and took Gu Lin to buy saltpeter at a grocery store.

Fucheng is prosperous, and buying a bag of saltpeter at a time will not attract attention. After all, there are more than one to buy, and the shopkeeper will not ask what to do with it.

Saltpeter is cheap, and it's not a valuable thing, so it's okay to get more.

Lin Zhen has been here for several years and has become acquainted with the shopkeeper of the grocery store. Seeing that there are many new things in the shop today, he asked, "Where did the shopkeeper get this stuff, and there are so many tricks?"

Lin Zhen picked it up casually. The pine nuts were very plump, big and full of fragrance. They were not at all the same as the ones bought by the shopkeeper before.

The shopkeeper saw that he knew the goods, and said: "It's a caravan from the north, and they brought a lot of things to sell. Isn't Boss Lin's shop selling food? Go and have a look, too. There's nothing to say about the goods."

Lin Zhen had already peeled two pine nuts. Sure enough, the pine nut kernels were very big. He handed one to Gu Lin and ate one by himself. The pine nuts had a unique fragrance and were indeed a rare good.

He said to the shopkeeper of the grocery store: "Please send a bag of saltpeter to my store, the shopkeeper. I'll go and see where those caravans are."

"It's just ahead, you can see it after walking two or three hundred steps forward."

All kinds of crushed nuts will be used in the small cakes. Seeing such good pine nuts, Lin Zhen couldn't miss it, so he took Gu Lin to find the caravan.

Soon, he saw what he was looking for. A few men who were obviously taller than Fucheng people, and a lot stronger, set up a stall, and there were goods for everyone to see on the stall, including big pine nuts. , hazelnuts, mushrooms, wild ginseng that is not very old but in good condition, and precious things such as ganoderma lucidum.

Lin Zhen squeezed in, looking at the pine nuts he wanted to buy, the hazelnuts he wanted to buy, the mushrooms he wanted to buy, and the wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.

But he didn't have that much silver with him, so he asked the man at the stall loudly: "Boss, I don't have that much silver with me, why don't you ask someone to deliver it for me, and I'll give him the silver by the way and ask him to bring it to you." return."

"My home is on Sitong Street, and I do business there."

The tall, dark-skinned man showed his white teeth: "No problem, I'll get you anything you want, and ask Ah Er to deliver it to you."

Lin Zhen didn't expect to be so straightforward, and immediately said what he wanted, filling two pockets full.

Without saying a word, the merchant named Ah Er grabbed a bag with one hand and put it on his shoulder, and said fiercely, "Where are you going?"

Good guy, the two bags weigh at least [-] catties, and it looks like it's easy to carry them up like a toy.

Lin Zhen looked at this hill-like body named Ah Er, who was opening the way ahead. He was very interested in this group of merchants, and asked, "Where are you from in the north? How long did it take you to travel so far to our Luozhou?" time."

A'er said: "Our place is very far away, next to Cheluo country, and there is only three or four months of a year without snow, so it is difficult to grow food, so we organized dozens of people to sell these things."

Lin Zhen had read some books and knew that the relationship between Dayu and Che Luo Kingdom was so-so. It snowed all the year round and the ground was frozen solid. Those who committed crimes but did not deserve to die were exiled there.

I didn't expect these merchants to be there.
