Chapter 024: Collecting Medicine by the River

Chunzhi ran out of the house, only to find that Chai Dong was no longer there.

Could it be, this little guy was hurt by a few words from himself, and now he has found a place to quietly wipe his tears, right? Harueda looked left and right, thinking quietly in her heart.

Well, in fact, when you think about it, the words I just said seem to be too harsh. Chai Dong has been held by his mother since he was a child, and he doesn't dare to say a word heavy, I'm afraid it's the first time he's been scolded like this, right?

Originally, she thought that Chai Dong was going to jump up and beat her in anger when she heard her say that, but who knew that he didn't, he just became stupid, and asked her several questions in a row, and then he was even more wilted.

It seems that this kid is not bad-hearted, but he is just spoiled by the Wang family.

While thinking about Chai Dong's pitiful appearance like a puppy now, Chunzhi looked left and right, but she still didn't see Chai Dong's figure, but saw the daughter-in-law of the Wang San family coming from the front.

When the two of them met, they were a little embarrassed.

After a pause, Chunzhi smiled at her: "Third sister-in-law, morning!" Are you going to fetch water? ”

"Isn't it?" Wang's third daughter-in-law also reluctantly raised a smile, "What about you?" What is this for? ”

"Find my man." Chunzhi said helplessly, "I had a few words with him just now, but he ran out in anger, so I hurried out to find it." If I don't get him back, I won't have to enter the house today, and my mother-in-law will definitely beat me to death!" ”

She quietly glanced at her house.

Wang's third daughter-in-law pricked up her ears and listened, and the Wang family was still scolding in the house! She couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then go and find it! He didn't go out much, and I remember that he used to like to go to the river at the head of the village, and maybe he went there this time. ”

"Really? Thank you then, I'm going to check it out! Harueda nodded hurriedly. Before leaving, she thanked the third daughter-in-law of Wang, "Thank you for coming over in time to help last night, otherwise our family will ......."

"No thanks, no thanks! It's all from the villagers, what are you doing with these polite words? Wang's third daughter-in-law hurriedly waved her hand.

Harueda smiled again. "What I did to your family before was my mother-in-law's fault, but the mistakes have already been committed, and I can only admit my mistake to you on her behalf now. Anyway, I'll watch her in the future and don't let her mess around like that again. ”

"Really? That's great! The third daughter-in-law hurriedly nodded happily.

Even if Chunzhi can't do what she says, she is already very satisfied with her current attitude.

Chunzhi nodded hurriedly, and was about to turn around to find Chai Dong, but she didn't expect Wang's third daughter-in-law to stop her again.

"That...... Wang Laojiu and their family said that you don't take it to heart, you are not a cat demon, I believe you. She whispered to Harue.

Harueda was stunned, and immediately a happy smile appeared on her face. "Third sister-in-law, thank you."

"No thanks, I told you you're a good girl." Wang's third daughter-in-law waved her hand at her, "Go find Dong Boy!" He's the meat of his mother's heart, if he has three longs and two shorts, you're going to suffer. ”

Isn't it? Today, she dared to scold Chai Dong, and Chunzhi now thinks that she really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

However, now that the words have been spoken, she does not regret it. It's enough for her to experience something like today, and next time she doesn't want to fall into that situation again!

It's just that it's a cold day, and now standing outside for a while, she feels the cold wind blowing on her body, and she shiveres from the cold. Thinking about Chai Dong's small size again, he must be even more frozen, right? I'll have to find him and bring him back quickly.

Thinking so, she hurriedly said goodbye to Wang's third daughter-in-law and went in the direction of the village.

Following the guidance of Wang's third daughter-in-law, she walked to the entrance of the village, and then walked along the small river outside the village, and sure enough, she saw a small figure squatting there in a group.

He was already thin, but now standing in a white snowfield, the person is still shrunk into a ball, and he looks even more pitiful. It's like a little milk dog shivering in the cold wind, not to mention it hurts.

Haruka watched, and her heart softened into a puddle of water.

Slowing down, she crept over, only to find that the man was not huddled up and crying, but digging for something on the ground with a small piece of stick. A small piece of snow had been ripped off in front of him, and even the clods of dirt underneath had been pulled up, and the snow had turned yellow on the side.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, he heard a happy whisper, Chai Dong grabbed a weed in his hand, and his face was rippling with joy.

"What is this?" Haruka asked in a whisper.

Chai Dong was taken aback, and turned around to find that it was she who relaxed.

But immediately, his face sank and his mouth pursed, and he turned his head and continued to dig on the ground with his head down.

Haruka is a little stumbling.

She squatted down beside Chai Dong and cheekily took the initiative to talk to him: "I know that what I said just now was a little heavier, but in fact, you are not so useless." It's good that you and your mother can live in the village for so many years, and you can't rely on your mother's strength alone, and your help is indispensable here. It's just that you're so old, and your mother is not young, and you've been letting her make such a noise outside, which is not good. And you know what kind of character she is, and you let her go out and toss around, I know you want to make her suffer a little first, and learn a lesson from there, and then she honestly doesn't dare to do that again. That's the reason, but that's not how things work! She's your mother, how can you teach her like you're teaching your son? Can't you just be a little more tactful? ”

"Anyway, in your eyes, I'm a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous bastard." Chai Dong said quietly.

Spring branch choked.

"Actually, it's not that serious." She laughed dryly.

Chai Dong snorted coldly, dug out another weed from the snow, and then changed places and continued to dig snow.

Harukeda asked him in a whisper, "What are you looking for?" Do you want me to help? ”

"No, I got it to be filial to my mother, and I don't need others to interfere." Chai Dong said coldly.

Harueda withdrew his hand.

She stood aside and watched Chai Dong dig up several weeds in a row, and there was one thing she knewβ€”"Isn't this the root of a daylily?" What are you digging this for? ”

Chai Dong glanced at her. "The yellow flower has the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain, but now that the weather is cold and there is no yellow flower, then you can only dig up its rhizome. These things are also somewhat effective, but they are not as good as yellow flowers. ”

"So there's still such a saying!" Chunzhi hurriedly asked again, "Is this written in the book?" ”

Chai Dong nodded.

It turns out that there are still these in the book! Harueda's eyes became shining. "Xianggong, you are amazing!"

Chai Dong tugged at the corners of his mouth. "What's so great about me? I couldn't help my mother before, and now it's just something from the books I'm learning and using, and I haven't actually done anything of my own. ”

"No! If you can learn and use what is in the book, that's already amazing! And on this cold day, you also personally came out to help my mother dig herbs, and my mother didn't know how happy she was when she knew it! Harueda said with a smile.

Chai Dong glanced at her again. "Are you trying to comfort me?"

This man is really hard to serve.

Harueda sighed lightly: "Your heart is actually still good, but you have only thought about things from your own perspective for so long, and you have not considered it from other people's places, so you will make such a mistake." But now that I've told you, haven't you already reacted? So, you're still smart. ”

"Hmph, what's the use of being smart? In this village, smartness is not as useful as strength! Chai Dong snorted in a muffled voice.

This cautious guy actually remembered what she had deliberately stimulated him before. And he turned it against her in reverse!

However, it's good to remember, it means that he listened to her words, so he can still have some hope for this person!

Haruka thought and hurriedly helped him collect the herbs that had been dug up.

Chai Dong saw it, and this time he finally didn't refuse.

After digging a stick of incense along the embankment of the small river, Chai Dong had already dug up a small handful of weeds. He looked back at the numbers before he stood up. "Almost."

Chunzhi took the weeds and went to the river to wash them.

Last night a heavy snowfall fell and the river froze. But fortunately, the ice is not thick, pick up a small stone and smash it up, I heard a bang, and a hole was smashed out of the ice. There were a few creaks, and several cracks had cracked in the ice around the hole.

As soon as Chunzhi broke it with his hand, he broke off a large piece, and a bare water surface was immediately exposed on the surface of the river.

Chunzhi was about to bend down to wash, when Chai Dong came over. "I'll do it!"

"Forget it! The river water is cold, and you will definitely not be able to bear the thin skin and tender meat in your hands. Besides, you're really going to be frozen, and when you go back, your mother will definitely say me again! It's good that you have the care to find herbs for her, and I'll do the rest! Haruka said angrily.

Chai Dong was stunned, so he didn't insist on it.

Haruka carefully washed the sludge from the herbs in the water. As a result, as soon as I finished washing, I heard a snapping sound, and it turned out to be a fish jumping out of this hole!

The fish landed on the ice, still jumping, and the ice beneath it was about to break.

Both Harueda and Chai Dong began to have their eyes shining.

"Find a branch, quick!" Haruka hurriedly shouted.

Chai Dong also quickly turned around and picked up a long dead branch and handed it over. Harue took the branch and carefully picked up the crucian carp. When she got close, she got straight to the hand and caught the fish in her hand.

"Look, wild crucian carp! Today we have fish soup to drink! Holding the fish aloft high, Harueda happily announced to him.

Chai Dong's face was also shining with excitement.

"Give it to me!" He reached over and Haruka handed it to him.

Chai Dong carefully held the fish, and hurriedly put it on with a branch, before frowning: "It's still a little less." ”

The crucian carp is not very big, and it can't eat much in the river in the winter, so it's even thinner than usual. Now it's such a small one, I'm afraid it's not enough for one person to stuff his teeth.

Chunzhi also found out - just such a fish, with Wang's temperament, must have eaten it all for her precious son. But she worked so hard, and she didn't plan to go back and stare at others drinking soup!

But she can't fight the Wang family, so she can only ......

"Let's catch a few more!" She said.

Chai Dong's eyes flashed again. "Good!" He nodded, but immediately frowned again, "But...... How to catch? ”

"Hey, didn't this book teach you?" Harue asked curiously.

Chai Dong shook his head.

Chunzhi immediately raised his eyebrows proudly. "My dad taught me!"
