Text Chapter 8 Deep Mountain Danger, Affection Appears
As soon as the sky was bright, Shi Wanwan went out with the maidservant Xiaocao, and they would greet them when they met familiar soldiers on the road.
After her father's death, she became the righteous daughter of the right overseer, and the overseer was still just a government leader, and she didn't get much money, but she still found a maid of the same age as herself to take care of herself, that is, Xiaocao next to her, Xiaocao was thirteen years old and three years older than herself, Xiaocao's father sold her to the house only for the half of the silver that could be exchanged for food to feed the family's two brothers and a sister, and the two depended on each other from that time.
In the first three years, my father-in-law will care about himself, and the next two years will be ignored, the most exaggerated time is that I can't see anyone for two months, she doesn't hate him, if he didn't have him, he might have starved to death, but fortunately, there is Xiaocao, she takes care of herself like a sister, and takes her to pick and sell medicine to spend a hard time.
I can't remember how many times I rolled down the hill and was wounded all over my body, and I can't remember how many times I almost died when I encountered a wild beast.
She silently wondered, is everyone born so miserable, and has ever fantasized about her husband's appearance, will he be a person who cares about herself and loves herself?
Thinking of the two red clouds flying on her face, how did Xiaocao next to her not know that Shi Wanwan was in the girl Sichun, she snorted and laughed, and she chased Xiaocao in shame, and the two of them ran towards Lao Dongshan like two happy birds.
Zhang Poxiao inquired and knew that the poetry girl went out very early, so he stayed at the door of the door of the Quan Overseer Army in the middle of the night, until he saw the two girls going out, and quietly followed behind him.
Laodongshan is a famous medicine mountain in Wulin County, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in fog all year round. There was a lot of dew on the grass when he went out in the morning, Zhang Poxiao followed the two into the mountain, and he had to be careful not to be discovered, his whole body was wet with dew, and he was very uncomfortable.
Picking medicine is a knowledge, ordinary herbs are not valuable, plantain, dandelion, ground and other herbs they do not pick, only when they encounter Coptis chinensis, gastrodia, dendrobium, peach gum, Chonglou, etc., they will stop picking and put it into the medicine basket, if they are lucky enough to meet ginseng, Linzhi, cordyceps sinensis then they can buy something delicious, buy a few sets of beautiful dresses.
Shi Wanwan and the two of them only dug up a few herbs in the mountains for a long time, a little frustrated, these two years to come to the mountains to collect medicine are only in the mountains do not dare to go to the deepest part of the forest, the hunter and woodcutter repeatedly warned them that there are fierce beasts in the depths of the forest, but today's harvest is not enough for food money, is it possible that today and tomorrow will be hungry? Xiaocao was older, so he suggested going inside, Shi Wanwan looked at the herbs lying alone in the medicine basket and gritted her teeth and agreed.
The two of them walked a long way inside, picked many precious herbs, and did not encounter danger, and when they passed by a mountain cliff, they saw a Polygonum multiflorum.
Judging from the leaves and plants, this herb is about four or five hundred years old, and the two of them are very happy, but this herb is difficult to get from a crack in a stone in the middle of the cliff.
Let's sum it up, let Shi Wanwan wait at the bottom of the cliff, the grass climbs the raised rock, and the small medicine hoe is pinned to the waist, trying to dig.
Shi Wanwan and Zhang Poxiao, who were hiding behind the trees, were nervous as they looked at the grass climbing on the cliff.
Xiaocao used to follow her father to the mountains to collect medicines at home, she was familiar with all kinds of herbs, and she was also very experienced in climbing mountains and trees, so she took out the medicine and put it in the medicine basket without danger.
Suddenly, a python sprang out of the grass, and the grass was startled, but did not step on it steadily, and fell down the cliff with a scream.
Shi Wanwan was so frightened that her face turned bloodless and she lost her judgment.
Zhang Poxiao, who was behind the tree, couldn't hide, and rushed forward with an arrow to pick up the grass.
Fortunately, when the grass fell, the shrubs and vines on the mountain were grabbed by her to reduce the buffer, but the thin Zhang Poxiao still dislocated his hands after catching it.
From the time it happened to the end, it was so sudden, the two girls were dumbfounded, only Zhang Poxiao was pressed under him, and snorted: "Ouch, girl, are you okay?" ”
Xiaocao was helped up by Shi Wanwan, who reacted, only to see a boy in a military uniform under him.
The boy was a little familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it, except that he was grinning and snorting, and his forehead was also hit with a stone, and the blood was bleeding and his face was very horrible.
The top priority is to help him look at the injured area first and do a simple treatment.
Xiaocao's legs were scratched, and there were many wounds on his hands and arms, Zhang Poxiao's hands were dislocated and he was going back to the doctor to pick up the bones, Shi Wanwan tore off her sleeves to wipe off the blood for him, and applied hemostatic medicine, no one found that in Zhang Poxiao's arms, a red light flashed in the blood-soaked clothes.
The three of them are very embarrassed now, except for Shi Wanwan, the other two are scarred, and everyone still introduced each other, although Zhang Poxiao had long known the identities of these two girls or pretended to know each other for the first time, and asked him why he came to Lao Dongshan, Poxiao told a lie, saying that it was the right overseer to call him to carry out the mission.
After the general understanding, there was a little cold, two women and a man met in this barren mountain and wild mountains, and now they are still injured, Xiaocao blushed and kept peeking at the dawn, and the dawn stared at Shi Wanwan again, feeling the hot gaze of the dawn Shi Wanwan's heart was like a deer, bowing her head and not speaking, the atmosphere was delicate.
The three of them could only support each other and walk slowly, but fortunately, when they met two woodcutters, they asked them to help carry the two back to Wulin County.
Back in the county seat, Quan Xingyang heard that the righteous girl went into the mountains to collect medicine, the maid was injured, and his newly promoted manager was also seriously injured, so he was furious, thinking that he had lost face, and called the righteous girl over and scolded him fiercely, and arranged for the doctor to treat Xiaocao and Xiaoxiao, stipulating that Shi Wanwan and the maidservant were not allowed to go out in the future, and stayed in the barracks to cook for the soldiers.
Zhang Poxiao was lying on the bed and heard that the poetry girl was punished and helpless, although it was very hard to stay in the barracks to cook, but there was no danger of going into the mountains to collect medicine, the hanging heart finally fell, the first burst of dizziness, and fell asleep in a drowsy state.
In the dream, there was a voice that kept repeating the chanter, nine is the ultimate of art, and soldiers are the beginning of martial arts...... The universe cares about the mind, and all incarnations are born in the body. Nature, the human heart; People's hearts, .....
He wanted to ask but couldn't open his mouth, it seemed that there was a stone blocked in his throat, and his doubts became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more anxious, but he couldn't speak, and suddenly a bell like thunder rang, which ran through his entire mind and woke him up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two anxious faces, which were Shi Wanwan and Xiaocao, who came to deliver medicine.
After they finished their work, they asked the soldiers about Zhang Poxiao's residence, so they hurried over, and saw that his face was red on the bed, full of nonsense, and when he touched his forehead, he must have a cold and fever, so he rushed back to boil herbs and send them to feed him.
It is strange that he was wet with dew early in the morning, and his body was thin and not sick.
Since the death of his parents, no one will care so much about and care about himself, the scene in front of him moved him, and a warm current surged in his chest, and he had already forgotten the strange dream just now.
