22. Dig Tian Qi

"Is Second Uncle Yuan at home?" Qiu Shuyuan gently pushed open a crack in the wooden door and shouted into the courtyard.

At dusk and sunset, it was time for dinner, and a family was sitting in the courtyard, and a woman stood up with a bowl in her hand. ”

"It's me, intellectual young Qiu Shuyuan."

The woman turned around and muttered, "Dad, it's the young woman surnamed Qiu who lives in the pig shed." ”

The voice of these words was not small at all, Qiu Shuyuan's face was full of embarrassment and anger, not because of the woman but because of her origin.

"Ask her something." Second Uncle Yuan, rolled a multigrain pancake with green onion sauce, and took a bite.

Without waiting for the woman to ask Qiu Shuyuan, she said, "I want to ask if your family has any herbs to reduce swelling and relieve pain, Xu Cheng, an intellectual young man who lives in the brigade headquarters, cut his leg with a sickle, and I want to find some herbs for him to wipe on." Second Uncle Yuan, do you have any family? ”

When the woman heard this, she didn't ask her father-in-law and replied directly, "We don't have you in our family, let's go to another house." ”

Second Uncle Yuan glared at the woman, "It's not a good thing." ”

"Dad, you really wronged me, it's not that I'm stingy, our family really doesn't have Tian Qi, this one wants a little tea to drink, and that one wants to smash and wipe the wound, it's long gone." Dad, I see that when you are herding sheep on the mountain, don't be idle and have nothing to dig that, how much do you dig enough for the whole village, Tian Qi is not ginseng, you can dig it when you go up the mountain yourself, you have to use ready-made. The woman sat down angrily.

Qiu Shuyuan, who was standing at the door, was embarrassed and red-faced, and quietly raised her feet and left.

But from the conversation between the woman and Uncle Yuan, she knew that Tian Qi can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and she can dig it up in the mountains, but what does Tian Qi look like? Qiu Shuyuan made a difficulty.

Fortunately, isn't it the mouth under the nose, which doesn't bother her, ask Ren Tian Qi what he looks like, she went up the mountain to dig.

At this point, the members of the club went home for dinner, and they didn't meet anyone after walking on the road for a long time, Qiu Shuyuan suddenly remembered that Mu Hongyuan was coming, he should still be in the wheat field at this time, Mu Hongyi was not there, the wheat on the wheat field was threshed and bagged, and it was not okay to organize the members to watch it.

Thinking so, I turned around at the fork in the road and headed in the direction of the wheat field, which happened to be the way up the mountain.

After walking for more than ten minutes to the wheat field, Qiu Shuyuan heard the sound of "buzzing", and at a glance the field was dusty, this was the threshing machine of the wheat threshing machine, and several men and women were stuffing the bundled wheat bales into the mouth of the machine with handkerchiefs on their heads.

"It's still dry." Qiu Shuyuan greeted people with a smile, but no one paid attention to her.

Mu Hongyuan saw Qiu Shuyuan stop the machine, opened his mouth a few times, cleared his throat before opening, "It's not too early, you all go home for dinner." ”

"Far boy, I'm leaving, don't forget to give me credit."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will give you full work, and I will give you full work." A man with a tiger's back and an ape-backed waist walked out from behind Mu Hongyuan and replied with a smile.

As soon as he saw that it was him speaking, the old lady, the eldest girl, and the little daughter-in-law laughed.

An old lady smiled and said, "Yi boy is not here, what can you kid do." ”

"It's not that Hongyuan is shy and can't open his mouth, Brother Yi has a word, let me take care of it, then I have to take good care of it, I can't let you bully Hongyuan." The man patted his chest, looking like he was righteous.

A big girl was unhappy, "I said Mu Hongjiang, you make it clear to us who bullied him, and who dares to bully your old Mu family's cubs." ”

"That's it, who doesn't know that in our Shangli Village, except for the surname Yuan, your surname is Mu." A few little daughters-in-law laughed and coaxed.

The old lady laughed for a while and waved her hand, "Which one said it, if you continue to talk about it, I think it will be a bad thing, don't make trouble with these two silly boys, let's go home quickly." If you don't see it, I think you're going to turn the sky upside down. ”

"Aunt Mu, we don't like to hear what you say, he Mu Hongyi has only been back for a few days, and we won't be the same without him Mu Hongyi before." At the beginning, the eldest girl of the old Mu family took off her headscarf, swept it on herself a few times, twisted her ass and left.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Aunt Mu's heart was not as knowledgeable as others, so she pulled the women's army away.

As soon as the women's army was empty, Mu Hongjiang took a sip on the ground, "This Yuan Lidong, sooner or later she will have to clean her up." ”

"Don't be like her." Mu Hongyuan persuaded softly.

It's been a while since she came to Shangli Village, and she has also heard of the open and secret battle between Mu Yuan's two surnames, Qiu Shuyuan, but this has nothing to do with her, anyway, she is not from Shangli Village, if Xu Cheng can really find a way to get Concubine Mi back to the city, she will hope to go back as soon as possible.

"Clerk, I want to go to the mountains to dig Tian Qi, do you know what Tian Qi looks like?" Qiu Shuyuan hurriedly asked.

"Are you hurt?" Mu Hongyuan looked at Qiu Shuyuan and looked directly at her hands and legs, at this time, the most likely thing to hurt when cutting wheat with a sickle is the hands and legs.

"It's not me, my brother Xu Cheng is injured, I want to dig some Tian Qi and smash it and smash it to wipe him."

Mu Hongyuan let out an "oh" and looked up at the sky, "This is going to dig?" ”

"I want to go now, and I dare not delay going to work tomorrow."

"I'll go with you, I can't tell what Tian Qi looks like. Brother Jiang, you watch, organize people to watch the scene, and I will accompany her up the mountain. ”

"Okay, don't go deep, there are wolves when it's dark."

Mu Hongyuan agreed.

"What's so embarrassing about that." Qiu Shuyuan smiled and said kind words.

"It's a gesture." Mu Hongyuan smiled, his eyes didn't dare to look at Qiu Shuyuan, and he walked forward with his head stalked.

Qiu Shuyuan looked at his slightly red face and was a little amused, thinking that this worker was really shy, "Listen to you, have you ever studied?" ”

"I read it, and I came down from the third year of high school."

"Me too." Qiu Shuyuan looked at him with a smile, "Hey, isn't my face very dirty, otherwise why wouldn't you dare to look at me?" ”

Mu Hongyuan felt that his face was even hotter, and stumbled: "No, no, I just, I just can't talk to girls." ”

Qiu Shuyuan laughed, "You are so innocent." ”

Mu Hongyuan peeked at Qiu Shuyuan and smirked.

The two walked side by side for a few minutes before they reached the foot of a mountain where a large field of grapes had been planted, and by this time the green bunches of grapes had already grown.

"This year's grapes are better than last year's, and in the autumn we will have a good harvest, and when the grapes are divided, my family will make wine, and I will give you a jar." After a few minutes, Mu Hongyuan finally found something to say.

Qiu Shuyuan smiled and nodded perfunctorily.

The two walked for a while, and when they reached the mountainside, Mu Hongyuan bent down and pulled out a grass plant to show Qiu Shuyuan, "You see this is Tian Qi." ”

He pointed to the conical rhizome and said, "Tian Qi's roots are very useful, in addition to reducing swelling and relieving pain, they can also be used to stew chickens and make medicinal food." ”

After knowing Tian Qi, Qiu Shuyuan didn't have the heart to talk to Mu Hongyuan, so she bent down and looked for it on the ground.

Mu Hongyuan was stunned and silently helped dig.

Although Tian Qi is not a precious medicinal material like ginseng, it is not all over the mountain, and after a while, the two of them separated, at this time, the sky was getting dark, and the wolf howl gradually rose, Mu Hongyuan was afraid that something would happen and hurriedly shouted: "Qiu Shuyuan, we should go back, where are you?" ”

At this moment, Qiu Shuyuan exclaimed from the front, and Mu Hongyuan was startled and hurriedly ran over, "What's wrong with you?" ”

There was a long ditch in front, and it was dark and Qiu Shuyuan didn't pay attention to rolling down the hillside, "It's okay, I fell." ”

Mu Hongyuan saw Qiu Shuyuan, who was sitting on the ground holding her legs, and hurriedly jumped down, "If it's crooked, I'll take a look." ”

Qiu Shuyuan didn't stop Mu Hongyuan from moving her feet, she pursed her lips and suddenly said, "Clerk, can you do me a favor?" ”
