Chapter 6: Turnaround
Lin Xiaoshuang's expression was a little sneering, and it seemed that he didn't dare to go over.
"Sister, it's okay, now Xiao Tao is hungry like this, not to mention that we have already finished the work in the field, we haven't been to the mountain yet, just come back early." In fact, she was looking for more herbs, and now she has no money on her, so she has to find a way out.
And the only way she can help these two relatives now is through her own medical skills.
Lin Xiaoshuang looked at the eyes of his two younger sisters, but he still couldn't bear it, so he went with him.
Xiao Tao is the happiest, for a long time, she hasn't played outside with her sister so happily.
"Let's go to the fields." The three of them have naturally the right to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
There is an orchard on one side, a vegetable garden on the other, and a few chickens around the fence at the back.
The number of chickens, the Tian family didn't know, he was timid before, how dare he think about these chickens, but now that Lin Xiaolu has come, he is naturally how happy he is.
"Sister, let's catch a chicken, we haven't touched meat for more than half a year, anyway, my aunt doesn't know the number of chickens, so I think it was stolen by a weasel." Then he looked at his sister with pitiful eyes.
She knows that her sister is the most soft-hearted, and she will basically agree to any request.
Lin Xiaoshuang also has a grudge in his heart, he can't give his sister a good life, and let the two children suffer with him.
Today's fawn's counterattack also woke her up to a certain extent.
Anyway, they are all oppressed like this, so it's better to let the two younger sisters live comfortably.
"You and Xiao Tao are standing outside, I'll just go." Lin Xiaoshuang did things quickly, and caught the chicken out in three or two clicks.
Lin Xiaolu observed the surroundings, and there were actually several seasonings, and there were actually wild peppercorns.
The dustpan in Xiao Tao's hand was filled with grapes and apples, and the three sisters took advantage of the bright sky to go up the mountain.
Lin Xiaoshuang found a vacant land and let Xiao Tao eat the fruit in his hand, and when he was about to kill the chicken, he saw the deer crawling on the ground looking for something.
"What's wrong? Is there a serpent on the ground? "There are a lot of trees on the mountain, and it's normal to have snakes, didn't Cuong from the next village get bitten by the snake when he went up the mountain to hunt?
Xiaolu was relieved: "Sister, I'm looking for something, you just killed the chicken, I'll do it later." ”
Lin Xiaolu's cooking skills have always been good, so Xiaoshuang didn't notice anything different.
"Mandala, saki grass, mushrooms, astragalus, forsythia, honeysuckle, and even notoginseng." The more Lin Xiaolu looked, the more excited she became, she had done psychological construction before, in this place, nature was not completely destroyed, which meant that she could find a lot of natural medicinal materials, and there must be more and better medicinal materials on this mountain.
While the people in this place have not discovered the benefits of these things, they will inevitably let their selfishness occupy it, who made her medical foundation so solid?
"Sister, what is this whisker?" Xiao Tao asked sweetly while eating grapes.
Lin Xiaolu noticed that Xiao Tao's side was full of such whiskers this time.
Estimating the altitude of this location, Xiao Tao's discovery may really be a turning point for the three sisters to get out of the predicament.
"Xiao Tao, you sit at the big sister's place, and the sister will take a look, okay?" Xiaolu hugged the person into Lin Xiaoshuang's arms.
Take out the shovel you had with you and carefully dig up the dirt around the beard.
It's ginseng.
I just don't know what the year is.
Lin Xiaolu held back the joy in his heart.
The shovel dug deeper and deeper, Lin Xiaolu felt as if he had touched the bottom, and then used the handle to loosen the surrounding soil, and the ginseng was dug out little by little.
"A hundred years of ginseng!" In her previous life, she had touched the century-old ginseng countless times, but she was far less excited than this time.
Xiao Tao saw her sister crying and quickly got up from the ground.
"Sister, don't cry, is your hand hurting, Xiao Tao will give you a snort." The milk voice was milky, but it made Lin Xiaolu's heart soften.
Hurriedly hugged Xiao Tao in his arms: "Didn't you tell my sister that I was hungry just now?" I'm going to make food for Xiao Tao. ”
Xiao Tao touched her belly, touched the belly of the fawn, and nodded seriously.
Lin Xiaoshuang handed the killed chicken to Lin Xiaolu.
"If you take it back and stew it, you'll definitely find it." Lin Xiaoshuang thought that he might hide some of it first, and then take the chicken back, but in that case, Tian would definitely ask where the chicken came from.
Lin Xiaolu shook his head and handed the peppercorns in his hand to Lin Xiaoshuang: "Sister help me grind this into powder." ”
Xiaoshuang took out his handkerchief and polished it carefully.
Skillfully make a fire, put the sticks on the fire and roast them, and then thread the whole chicken on top of the sticks.
The rack is constantly tumbling on the finished branches, using the fat of the chicken itself, and constantly roasting.
"Sister, sprinkle that powder on it." The only thing that can be used now is peppercorns, and when the days get better in the future, I will definitely give them something better.
Xiao Tao was drooling when she sat on the side, and she didn't know why she felt that today's chicken was particularly delicious.
After two quarters of an hour, when the chicken was cooked, the prepared lotus leaves were spread on the ground and cooled, and the three sisters began to feast.
"Hmm, sister, it's delicious, hmm." Xiao Tao couldn't speak anymore, and even Xiaoshuang, who usually ate the least, began to eat in big gulps.
Lin Xiaolu was also barely relieved.
While the sky was still good, I quickly dug up the rest of the ginseng. These five ginseng plants of such good color must be available for a hundred taels of silver.
It was getting late, and the three of them were about to go home, when they saw a man standing in the field.
But I don't want to be their grandmother.
"Where are you three going to fool around, you don't dare to work in the fields, haven't you cleaned up your cheap skin for too long?" Miao saw that these three dead girls were on fire in their stomachs.
Xiao Tao hid behind Lin Xiaoshuang in fear, but Lin Xiaolu thought of a rumor that had spread in the village recently.
"Grandma, it's a Taoist priest who told us not to do farm work in the afternoon, saying that if we hoe the land today, it will destroy our family's feng shui." This fortune teller was a liar in his previous days, but the ignorant women and children in the countryside were convinced.
Miao was shocked when he heard Lin Xiaolu say this.
"The Taoist priest also knew the names of the three of us, and we didn't dare to stay in the fields longer, so we had to go to the mountains." Miao was particularly superstitious, and when he heard such words, he didn't have time to blame, so he hurried back to worship the Bodhisattva of the Stove King.
The three sisters also escaped the catastrophe.
