Serving in the Qin Dynasty, the participants had to bring their own dry food on the road, as well as clothes, quilts and some necessary items for life, and the government would provide food after arriving at the place of service, but it was only food, and they had to cook their own food, so they had to carry cooking utensils and other items, which generally had to be carried on their own backs.

That is to say, you must bring enough dry food from the village to the county seat for a few days, and according to past experience, it is best to bring an extra ten days and a half month's amount, the devil knows what will happen on the road, especially this summer, maybe a heavy rain will be trapped on the road for several days.

At the beginning, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township revolted because of the heavy rain that delayed the arrival time, so they temporarily revolted, because according to the Qin law at that time, they would all be killed if they were delayed, and it was better to be vigorous against his mother than to be killed.

Therefore, although the demise of Great Qin was an inevitable outcome, the fuse was just a heavy rain.

"This green and yellow time to serve, alas!" Uncle Ma sighed again.

"Uncle, almost every household in the village has no food, so let's do it, this time I will lend 20 yuan per person to bring it, and then I will go to the town to buy some food and salt to bring with me, and everyone will pay me back when the time comes." Chen Xu said.

"That's fine!" Uncle Ma hesitated and nodded.

Chen Xu's family has been rich recently, and this has indeed solved everyone's urgent need.

So Chen Xu asked Chen Jiang to go home and take 80 yuan to Uncle Ma, and let him arrange it himself.

Because of this incident, the lively atmosphere of the whole village instantly became extremely dull, and the rest of the people continued to build houses, but the mood was low, no one spoke loudly, and no one sang or laughed.

And Yang Xu suddenly really felt the cruelty of the Qin Dynasty's forced conscription of people more than 2,000 years later, these people in the village, maybe they will never come back, and they are the strongest laborers in each family, once they can't come back, the whole family will fall into a state of even more poverty and hardship, just like the state of Chen Jiang's family when they didn't cross over, or even worse!

"Dashi, bring a hoe and follow me up the mountain!" Chen Xu found Niu Dashi, who was digging the toilet.

"What are you doing up the mountain?" Niu Dashi asked while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Ask so much what to do, you'll find out in a while!" Chen Xu was in a bad mood and didn't bother to explain more to him.

One of them carried a rattan basket and a firewood knife, and the other carried a hoe to the mountain.

Now that it has entered summer, the temperature is getting higher and higher day by day, and the land is sparsely populated and there are mountains and rivers everywhere, and there are more and more snakes, ants and mosquitoes are increasing day by day.

Then there is the heavy labor of road construction, coupled with poor food and bad wear, there is no concept of wearing labor protection equipment in this era, the clothes on the poor body are tattered, not to mention gloves, most people do not have shoes, they are barefoot all year round, if you are not careful, you will be injured and bleed, red, swollen and inflamed in the hot weather is inevitable, and there is no emergency treatment in this era. Once this happens, there is almost only one word waiting for it, that is, death, amputation is not possible, there is no hemostatic medicine and clean bandaging treatment, and the death is faster if it is cut off.

But now that Chen Xu has appeared in this era and become one of them, he may inevitably be drafted into service in the future, so he must do something for this, provide some help and protection for himself and the villagers, so that everyone can live as much as possible.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, people's understanding of Chinese medicinal materials is still in a relatively confused and vague stage, although the ancient book of "Yellow Emperor Neijing" has long existed, and the legend of Shennong's taste of herbs is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there have been sages who compiled "Shennong's Materia Medica" This kind of work on food and medicinal materials, but these things are far away from the poor farmers in remote mountainous areas, and the treatment is basically still in the state of jumping gods.

The rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" appeared, which gradually established the status of Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine in later generations, and summarized the treatment theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment became the law that all Chinese medicine must abide by in later generations, and Chinese medicine gradually played a huge role to ensure the reproduction of China's population and the development of civilization, and the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials began to be studied and established. Later, it continued to be used and became the most important Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia in China.

Of course, these are separated from Chen Xu by 108,000 miles.

There were only about a hundred or so kinds of Chinese medicinal materials that he could still remember in his heart, and the medicinal properties were almost forgotten, but he thought that he might be better than the witch doctor in the town.

At least he had seen his second grandfather see a doctor and grab medicine, and he had also seen his second grandfather brew some common Chinese herbal medicines, and he was very interested in helping when he was a child.

At present, he went up the mountain to dig up some common medicinal herbs, try to make some pills and powders that he can carry with him, once he encounters snake bites, bleeding injuries, heat stroke, food poisoning, abdominal pain and diarrhea, he can quickly and simply deal with it, so as not to drag a minor illness into a major illness, and finally cannot be saved.

Hours passed in a flash, and it was not until the sun was about to set that the two of them came down from the mountain soaking wet, and the rattan basket was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, grass, flowers, roots, vine leaves.

At this time, the roof of the house had been covered, and the helpers had all gone home after dinner, and only Chen Jiang and Xing'er were still looking at the small courtyard.

"Brother, what are these you digging up?" Xing'er poured cold boiled water for the two of them with a bamboo tube, and then lay on the rattan basket and looked at it curiously.

"This is medicine, don't mess with it, wait until we have dinner and get it slowly!"

After Chen Xu admonished, the two of them eagerly picked up the rice bowl and began to serve the rice, the crockpot on the stove was still steaming, the boiled broth was fragrant, Chen Jiangshi cooked some fresh and tender wild vegetables into the broth, the two were already hungry and couldn't wait, scooped the broth with a bamboo spoon to soak the rice, squatted on the ground and ate it.

"Delicious, delicious! The meals made by my aunt were so delicious! Niu Dashi was like a wild boar arching inside a pottery bowl, humming and patting his ass while eating.

"Eat slowly, this is specially reserved for you, enough!" Chen Jiangshi also likes this future son-in-law who helps his family all day long and works hard, and uses chopsticks to keep scooping fat and wild vegetables for the two.

In this era, rural people don't have much concept of beauty and ugliness, the most important thing is to be hard-working and work, Niu Dashi just meets the two, every time Chen Xu speaks, no matter whether he understands or not, he will basically help him honestly to complete it, and in Chen Xu's opinion, this guy is not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his brain is too small, and he is a little unhappy to be his brother-in-law, his ideal brother-in-law should be Xiang Yu's kind of person.
