Chapter 13, Secretly Rescue
Mu Chenxue went into the mountains to find medicine, and he also had to watch out for the fierce beasts around him, where would he pay attention to the two of them behind him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was digging with his head down, when he heard the sound of birds singing like people talking from among the trees.
Mu Chenxue stopped the movements in her hand and listened carefully, "Brother Wang Kang!" The last sound is the most obvious, Mu Chenxue's eyes are lit up, the old Chinese medicine doctor said, the call of the mallet bird is like this, and where there is a mallet bird, there is wild ginseng. However, she had just run two steps and stopped, remembering that the old Chinese medicine doctor had also said that where there is wild ginseng, there will be snakes. She didn't believe that she could fight a poisonous snake python with this body, in case the wild ginseng was not found, but she was poisoned or swallowed by the snake, thinking about it, she couldn't help but hesitate.
"No matter, this life is not much better than death, since God gave her a chance to live again, she won't be so stingy and take her life before she lives enough!" I made up my mind, and I searched around again, and when I saw that there was just a handful of cassia grass in the field, I grabbed a handful of cassia grass and tied it at my ankle, and put the rest in my arms, and then I looked for the sound of birds. This wild cassia grass is also known as snake extinguishing door, which is a herb to repel snakes. However, I don't dare to guarantee how much spirit curtain Chenxue is, anyway, it is better to think that there is better than nothing.
Mu Chenxue was tapping on a tree branch to explore the way, and at the same time looked for it deep in the forest. And Nangong Shumo followed, and the more he walked, the more worried he became, "Uncle Feng, you want to find a way to go around the front, I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to go further inside!" ”
"Good!" Feng Wu jumped to the side, and disappeared between the shadows of the trees in a few turns. Nangong Shumo was secretly anxious in his heart, but although he hadn't been with Mu Chenxue for a long time, he also knew that this little woman was very independent, but he was afraid that he would stop people now, and he would not accept his kindness.
The call of the mallet bird came closer and closer, and when the morning snow approached, it seemed to be startled by the sound of footsteps, and fluttered its wings and flew away. Mu Chenxue rummaged carefully under the tree where the bird had stopped, but she didn't see ginseng flowers, and the ginseng leaves were no different from ordinary weeds at first sight, but I was afraid that she would return in vain. Just as he was hesitating to turn back, he heard "rustle!" from the grass. Sound.
Surprised, Mu Chenxue took a few steps back, and then held the shovel to find prestige. "Short-tailed pit viper" this snake curtain morning snow has been seen in the photo, is the most common venomous snake, the snake back is light brown, there are two rows of dark brown round spots, left and right staggered, the center of the round spot is light, the outer side is often open in the shape of a horse's cry, there is a colored eyebrow line behind the eyes, and its upper edge is inlaid with yellow-white edges. The posterior part of the tail is yellowish-white, and the tip of the tail is black.
Although this snake is not long, it is very poisonous and has the ability to strike, but I don't know if it is full, so it did not attack the curtain Chenxue, but swam to the side.
There is still hope for snakes, and when the rustling sound in the grass fades away, Mu Chenxue took a few steps forward and dug directly in the place where the snake had been infested. Where would she have thought that this snake is also very spiritual, just now it was just pretending to swim away, and when the morning snow relaxed its vigilance, it quietly swam back. However, no matter how spiritual the snake is, it would not have thought that Mu Chenxue would be followed by the flower protection messenger, and as soon as the snake appeared, it was nailed to the ground by a dart from Nangong Shumo.
And Mu Chenxue waved a small shovel and dug intently, and she didn't even know that she was out of danger. Nangong Shumo pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, "If I hadn't come with curiosity today, I'm afraid that Xue Mei would have to feed the snake!" But these words only swirled in my heart, and I didn't say it.
dug a few places, and really let the curtain Chenxue dig it, but it was just a strain of jiazi ginseng, that is, three years of ginseng. This wild ginseng is a ginseng for ten years and a treasure for fifty years. And in the past three years, I am afraid that I can only exchange it for twenty or thirty taels of silver at most. But it's better than nothing.
looked at the time, and didn't go back, I was afraid that Aunt Cheng was going to go out of the house to find someone, so I had to put it together, and then I saw that there was nothing suspicious on my body, and then I walked down the mountain.
The handlebar type of the mountain pass is a little anxious, not because he is afraid that people will run away, but because he is afraid that this little brother will enter the mountains without knowing the severity, and what if someone dies. I was anxious to wait, and I saw someone come out and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Mu Chenxue only said that he didn't find the medicine he was looking for, so he delayed his efforts, and the handlebar style didn't suspect it, so he drove back to the city.
"Grandpa, I earned ten cents today, do you have to give the first five cents?" The little grandson follows his grandfather every day, and he hates the boss who only takes money and doesn't work.
"Don't talk nonsense about children!" The handlebar style glanced at Mu Chenxue embarrassedly, if this bad word about the head reached his ears, he was afraid that he would not have to do this job in a blink of an eye. Everyone in the family who can move goes out to find a living, and he is also old, so he can't do anything other than catch a car. If I don't have this livelihood anymore, I'm afraid that this day will be even more miserable.
Mu Chenxue felt some sympathy for this child, took out five cents from his body and handed it to the handlebar, "Uncle, you take this money first, and when you get to the city gate, I will give you ten cents, even if you are charged five cents, your trip will not be in vain!" ”
"How can this be made, the little brother is a kind-hearted, the old man understands in his heart, but how can this good price be raised from the ground, I can't do this untrustworthy thing!" The handlebar type pushed again and again, and refused to say anything.
"It's not for the old man for nothing, it's that you have been waiting for a few hours, delaying your living juice. Second, if I go out of the city again in the future, I will have to trouble you! And your little grandson is so sensible, I like it, you just have to take this money! Mu Chenxue didn't push back with the handlebar, and directly put the copper coin into the arms of his little grandson.
The handlebar style had to say some polite words again, and the car was a little faster than usual. After leaving the mountain, Nangong Shumo did not continue to follow, but waited at the mountain pass for a while.
The city gate was imminent, Mu Chenxue jumped out of the car, and counted ten cents to the grandparents and grandchildren in front of the handlebars, and then entered the city with the burden. As for what will happen to the two grandparents in the future, it has nothing to do with her. The most important thing for her at the moment is to sell the ginseng in her arms and exchange it for silver, and overcome the difficulties in front of her.
There is a pharmacy not far from the backyard of the shogunate, and it doesn't matter if the price is fair or not, there is no time for her to inquire carefully at this time, looking at the time, I am afraid that the eldest lady will return to the city soon. He sold the ginseng directly for twenty-five taels of silver. With twenty taels of silver tickets and five small silver ingots of one tael, he entered the alley and ran to the backyard of the shogunate. But before the people could climb the ladder and climb over the wall, they heard bursts of sobbing from the wall.
