Chapter 40: Into the Ten Mile Mountains (1)
Li looked at his eldest daughter-in-law lying on the bed and crying, and the tears were also flowing. For this woman who regards her husband and son as her heaven, her son is the flesh and blood of her heart, but now she is told that her eldest son has been injured and will hardly survive for the rest of her life, as if she has dug out her heart.
Lao Luotou lowered his head listlessly, he didn't sleep all night, and his mental state was not very good. Several granddaughters of the Tian family knew that something big had happened to their family and they were all afraid to shrink together, Tian Lichun and Tian Chunfen were crying vigorously. Xia Zhi's father and two uncles took all their homes and went to Niangniang Town when it was light that day.
At this time of the day, the scene of a family having breakfast is especially in front of me. Now although the Zheng, Lin, and Liu families have already cooked breakfast, the Tian family is in no mood to eat, and everyone has no appetite.
Only Zheng's is trying to persuade the Wang family, who has just kept the fetus, to have some food, this is where to eat for the current Wang, her husband's life and death are unknown, how to eat, and even she hated Tian Laoer, and told her intellectually that she couldn't blame the second uncle, but in her heart she couldn't stop blaming him, and even Lin's, she didn't give a good face.
Lin also understood her and didn't blame her, just sat there and sighed vigorously. The mild-mannered Liu sat next to Li and persuaded her, "Her uncle will be fine!" , what 'Niang Mo cried, cried and broke my eyes' and so on.
At this time, Xia Zhi was sitting next to the sisters, Xia Zhi felt that the Tian family was unlucky, how could everything have been encountered, and this was a matter that had been left in the ordinary peasant family for almost a lifetime, and it was touched. Although most things happen to the Tian family can always save the day, I hope that this time the uncle is safe and sound, otherwise how should the eldest uncle be good, and the eldest sister and the third sister.
Listening to the second uncle about the situation at that time, the gang of ruffians should have followed him a long time ago, but the key is how could this gang of people target them. Although they both wore the best clothes in order to go to Niangniang Town, they also had a lot of patches, and they had been worn for several years, and they had been washed and whitened.
Why did they rob the two of them, or did they say that the uncle and the second uncle were seen by them when they were buying things, and mistakenly thought that it was a rich person pretending to be poor, but this doesn't make sense, who is rich and pretending to be poor, the uncle and the second uncle's behavior is obviously not rich and noble, is that the gang just want to rob a batch of people, but it is not enough, things like this should not happen often, otherwise the county government of Niangniang Town will not care. "Is it really the eldest uncle and the second uncle who are unlucky?" Xia Zhi muttered to himself.
"Hey......" Xia Zhi, who couldn't figure it out, lamented, looking at the eldest sister and the third sister who were crying non-stop, Xia Zhi's brain suddenly hurt. Thinking of what the second uncle said about the need for a hundred years of ginseng to save the uncle, Xia Zhi is even more headache, and now the Tian family is in a state of sadness, no one has a way to do it, Xia Zhi wants to slap the table and roar: "The top priority is to save the uncle!" But she understood the home.
Xia Zhi is estimated to be his own father and two uncles, and I am afraid it is difficult to find ginseng. Even if I find it, I'm afraid I don't want to sell it to them, and the price of ginseng is also very expensive, and the Tian family's belongings are all taken out to buy coarse roots, and the uncle's illness is estimated to be a dose of medicine. "Hey......" Xia Zhi lamented again, at this time Xia Zhi just wanted to yell at the sky in his heart, "Where the hell is there ginseng——"
I didn't roar when I roared, but Xia Zhi went out of the door of Tian's house, and the home environment was too low, so I came out to breathe. But she followed a little tail - Tian Liqiu. Tian Liqiu didn't say anything, just followed her step by step. When Xia Solstice came to the fish pond, he was not in the mood to check the water quality, so he stood with his head down. Tian Liqiu also accompanied her to stand there.
I don't know how long it took, Tian Liqiu tugged at the placket of her clothes, Xia Zhi raised her head, looked at Tian Liqiu who was standing beside her, and then looked up at Shili Mountain in the distance, Xia Zhi patted Tian Liqiu's head with some concern, but as soon as her hand left Tian Liqiu's head, she suddenly ran out. Tian Liqiu saw that she ran away suddenly, and didn't understand what was going on, so he shouted loudly: "Sixth sister, why are you going?" ”
"I have something to do, you go home first!" Xia Zhi said without looking back. But she said that the summer solstice was why she suddenly ran to dig ginseng, because she was going to dig ginseng, yes, the summer solstice was to dig ginseng.
Xia Zhi suddenly thought that there might be ginseng in these ten miles of mountain just now, so she couldn't wait to run. Although she knew that there was little hope of finding ginseng, it was better to have hope if she didn't look for it than to do nothing. And in modern times, it seems that most of this ginseng grows in the north, but because of the background of the Great Wu Dynasty, people think that this herb grows in the south.
Entered the rolling ten-mile mountain summer solstice but did not know where to look for ginseng, and in the past, because the village people did not enter the mountain much, the summer solstice did not want to be special, so it was rarely into the mountain, this will be autumn fortunately, most of the leaves have fallen, otherwise the five-year-old summer solstice into it will not even be a head.
In my previous life, I heard that ginseng seems to like shade, and the growth area is mostly broad-leaved forests or coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, but on the summer solstice, I don't know if this ten-mile mountain is a broad-leaved forest or a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest, so I have to go to the place where there are more trees and can't find light.
And Xia Zhi only looked down for ginseng, so she didn't know that she was walking more and more into the Shili Mountain, until she felt hungry, and when she stopped to rest, she found that she had deviated from the path she came from, and she didn't know where Lu Dao went. Xia Zhi looked around and patted his head in annoyance, where is this. It's good now, the ginseng was not found, and she lost herself, it looks like it's going to be noon, if the family can't find her, won't you die in a hurry!
Xia Zhi guessed well, the Tian family was really anxious, but it was evening, and the Tian family didn't have the heart to care about her at the moment. The children don't care about anything, and they all surround the two sisters Tian Lichun and Tian Chunfen, the Zheng family has to take care of Xiao Bailu and the Wang family, although the Lin family feels uncomfortable, they still have to help the Zheng family from time to time. Liu has been comforting Lee. Lao Luo Tou sat alone in the hall, bowing his head and ignoring people.
So no one in the Tian family paid attention to Xia Zhi's absence at all, even if she noticed it occasionally, she only thought that she was out to see the fish or something, there was only one Tian Liqiu, but she was a sister who controlled her, and believed that her sister was omnipotent.
At this time, Xia Zhi is not looking for ginseng, she just hopes to hurry out of the Ten Mile Mountain, don't let her family worry, but no matter how she goes, she can't go back to the original way, and there is a tendency to go farther and farther, Xia Zhi is helpless, she is now hungry and thirsty, tired and can't do it, she really has no choice, she can only roar twice, but no matter how she roars in response to her, it is an empty sky.
Xia Zhi had no choice but to sit on the stone and rest for a while, she thought that it was noon at noon, and the sun couldn't tell which direction it was, and it was estimated that she would be able to tell the direction in the afternoon, but Xia Solstice had to endure hunger, and the family must be in a hurry, but now there was no way, so she could only wait.
