The twelfth day of the crossing
Since the last incident, Qingling's Su family and the gang of errands have not interfered with the river water, as if the last incident had not happened. But both sides are secretly wary of each other.
It was the rainy season, and it often rained on their way to the road. If it's light rain, it's fine, but if it's heavy rain. Not only is the road difficult to walk, the smell of rain hitting the body is unpleasant, but it is also easy to get sick, and many people are infected with the wind cold. If you have a good physique, you will have a bad life.
Before the Su family was sentenced to exile, all the family members from the female dependents came to visit them, and they all gave them some pills to a greater or lesser extent. There is Qingling on the side to take care of it, and now except for Su Jingyun, who is not yet well, and it looks more serious, everyone else is also fine.
But other families are not happy, and some miserable ones can't even eat, let alone medicine. There were originally about 100 people in the group that filled the army, but now they were not half the way, and several people died on the way, mostly old people and children.
At this time, Qingling also made a difficulty, when she was in prison before. The medicine that her third brother had given when he visited was gone. But Su Jingyun's body is not yet complete. In addition, the previous whiplash wound has not been completely thorough. Qingling was also speechless, Su Jingyun's body's immune function was too poor. Sickness and injury are slower than others. During this time, he was weak and in good spirits. This is the reason why his body's vitality has been greatly damaged and he is too empty. It's not going to happen like this.
Tonight they did not find a place to stay, but they stayed in the wilderness, with mountains on the side. Qingling plans to go up the mountain to estimate some medicinal materials, now Su Jingyun has to use medicine, now she can use some small spells, and by the way, she can make up for everyone.
There is also the little fat man, the little fat man has eaten poorly during this time, and the meat is falling every day, and now he has become a thin monkey. Qingling seemed to be very anxious.
Qingling looked at Su Jingyun, who was talking to a few children, and said, "I'll go to the side of the mountain later, you look at a few children." He finished speaking.
"No, it's too dangerous to go." Su Jingyun suddenly became excited and strongly objected.
"I'll go to the mountains to find some herbs, you need them now, and prepare some, and then you can rest assured on the road." Qingling is not in a hurry to return.
"I'm fine now, everybody's fine. And at night..... Don't go, it's too dangerous. Su Jingyun was not as excited as before, but his expression was not depressed and he refused.
Qingling looked at him quietly, and when he finished speaking, he said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, I'll be back in a while." And you can't stop me. Su Jingyun was a little frustrated for a while, but still refused to agree. Neither of them could convince anyone.
The movements of the two attracted the attention of the rest of the Su family. Only after the last incident, in addition to the four rooms of the Su family, the three brothers quietly hugged each other. Things are discussed.
Now Qingling and Su Jingyun are moving here again, and Su Jinglan is the eldest brother. is the most suitable for adjustment. When I heard that Qingling wanted to go up the mountain to find medicine. Everyone knows the importance of medicine. But everyone also disagrees with Qingling looking for medicine, it's too dangerous.
The Qi family was also worried that the medicine against heatstroke and wind and cold that they used in this room before was given to them in the second and third rooms, and they had run out. Now that everyone has no medicine in their hands, she is also worried, especially since there is still such a long way to go, she has already reached the point where it doesn't matter, but what about her son and daughter?
But she didn't want Qingling to look for medicine either. Worrying about Qingling's safety is one thing, and she is also selfish. The last time my sister-in-law happened, she knew that she and her husband couldn't protect their son and daughter at all.
It wasn't obvious before, but now it seems that the third brother and sister are capable people. Before, she thought badly, always thinking that she should live the best life if she was a big house, and because several younger siblings had their mother's family to visit and support, she didn't hide her dirt in her heart. But now that she wants to open it, why bother with those false things, as long as her family is safe.
Compared with the Qi family, the Lin family and Su Jingchen are really stupid and sweet. They didn't think about anything else, they just thought that the mountain under the dark curtain wanted to be a monster waiting to eat people, and there were too many dangers hidden.
Qingling didn't know what others thought, but she still insisted. They needed the herbs now, and she was sure.
Su Jinglan knew that she was going up the mountain to find herbs for Su Jingyun's body. He hesitated for a moment, he knew his brother's body. sighed and said, "Brother and sister can go if they want to, just pay attention to safety." ”
When Su Jingyun heard this, the eldest brother didn't help, and he made trouble for him. Angry and yelled: "Don't go, I won't eat if you find it, and it's my life to die." ”
Su Jinglan's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he glared at Su Jingyun and said, "What are you talking about, what is not fatal." "The family is busy coming to persuade them, which is better.
Su Jingyun also knew that he had provoked his eldest brother, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Qingling gave him a roll of the eye. He said to everyone: "I have planned this for a long time, so I will go and come back quickly, and I can bring some food back." ”
Turning his head, he said to Su Jingyun: "Don't worry, I'm not just for you, I also want to find something for Brother Yao'er's children, they have lost a lot of money in the past few days." ”
Su Jingyun saw that he couldn't persuade Qingling, so he changed his mind and said, "It's okay to go, I'll go with you." ”
Qingling glared at him directly, and said with an angry smile: "Don't make trouble, together, I will take care of you when the time comes, you can wait with peace of mind, and I will come back in a while." ”
Su Jingyun was silent for a while and didn't speak, this was a sore foot. Su Jingchen took care of the rest of the people, and Su Jinglan and Su Jingyun accompanied him to discuss the matter. After all, this is still to have a conversation with the messengers.
The person who found the person in charge of these errands was the one surnamed Feng who had a dispute with them last time, and this person was a man of his word, and after that, his eyes never drifted over Su Mingzhu and them again, nor did he embarrass them. Both sides lived in peace as if there was no such thing.
To Qingling's surprise, Su Jingyun gritted his teeth with hatred every time he mentioned the surname Feng, but after the last incident, the person surnamed Feng became much calmer, and he didn't miss a trace of emotion when he saw the surname Feng. Su Jinglan is the same, and he still thinks that it wasn't him who was beaten last time.
They told me what they were going to do, and they agreed. It's just that the surname Feng mentioned that in the next few days, if their brother is unwell, he will ask Qingling to help take a look. Qingling responded, but only promised to help see but didn't dare to guarantee anything. They didn't say anything.
Here, Su Jingyun insisted on following Qingling and sending her to the foot of the mountain, and Su Jinglan was not at ease. In a short distance, Su Jingyun also repeatedly explained to Qingling, not more than two hours at most, otherwise he would have to go up the mountain to find someone.
Qingling nodded, and said impatiently: "Okay, is this going to be sent to eighteen phases?" But seeing Su Jingyun's worried look, his heart softened a little, and he pretended to comfort: "I don't go into the mountains, just look around the mountains." Come back soon. ”
Then he turned around and went up the mountain, and when he couldn't see Qingling's figure, Su Jingyun and Su Jinglan went back and guarded a few children.
The escort officer here is also discussing Qingling, among which the person with the surname Feng has the best relationship, and it is also the person who was scared away by Qingling with copper coins last time, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Feng, why are you so good at talking this time, although that little girl is a little capable, but our brothers are afraid that they can't deal with her." A few other younger ones chimed in.
"I can't see through that woman, but she must have the ability. We can't mess with it. And it's not just a woman, it's no different to find something else. After speaking, he looked at himself with a warning and a small hair.
He also told the others: "Don't mess with the Su family, you want to find a woman, and it won't be delivered to the door in a few days, so there's no need to take risks." ”
The others nodded obediently. Brother Feng can't be wrong.
The surnamed Feng thought about Su Mingzhu's appearance and felt a little pity. But his instincts told him. The woman from last time was dangerous. His instincts couldn't be wrong, and with this keen instinct he escaped a lot of danger. What has been said still counts.
On the side of Qingling, it is like a mountain like a fish entering the sea. The active aura in the mountains made the discovered Qingling very happy. But Qingling still felt a little strange, and the aura was very thin before. But now the aura in the air began to slowly increase, and it became active, and it was still a little rampage.
Forget about it, observing the breath of no one around, Qingling made a quick leap with her indulgence while searching with her divine sense. It only took an hour to find the required medicinal materials, and I successively picked out some herbs that might be used in the future. Wrap it in a package.
When it was ready, Qingling found more than a dozen wild eggs and picked some wild fruits. In the end, I copied two litters of rabbits, selected six obese ones, and put the other small ones. Qingling was going to go home.
Although I am very reluctant to give up the active aura in the mountain, there are still people waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and there are too many things to take, and it is too inconvenient to have no storage mustard. The high-level ones are not good, but the low-level ones are enough.
Watching Qingling come over with something from a distance, Su Jingyun hurriedly ran up, and Su Jinglan and Qi also reacted and hurriedly followed to help get things.
A few people helped take the things, and Qingling happened to be walking easily. As soon as Qingling came back, everyone was relieved. He began to look curiously at the rabbit tied up by the vines. Brother Yao, who was held by Su Mingzhu, saw that Qingling was back, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Qingling to hug her.
He hadn't seen his mother for a while. At first, Qingling didn't plan to hug him, but when she saw that he was about to cry. I had to pat my clothes and take them and hug them.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law had already put in order what Qingling had brought back, and asked Qingling what to do with it. Qingling discussed with Brother Su, Second Brother and Su Jingyun. It was decided to send two rabbits to the chagrin. In the end, Su Jinglan and Su Jingyun did it.
Qingling and a few of them went to the river to wash wild fruits and kill rabbits. Killing rabbits can only count on Qingling. Qingling also deliberately behaved clumsy. When I got it done, I went back and gave the wild fruit to a few children. A few children were rarely happy to nibble on the fruit, and sat by the fire with big eyes of longing to watch the adults roast the rabbits.
As the tongue of fire continues to stir the rabbit meat on the branches, the fat continues to drip down, and the aroma of the meat becomes stronger and stronger. The others kept looking, but no one came over. After the last incident, they were a little afraid of the Su family, especially Qingling, and didn't dare to provoke them.
The four rooms of the Su family on the other side are also interesting, and they are not cheeky enough to come up. Since the last time, everyone knows that there is no contact.
Here Su Yunyuan, Yunxi and Yunqi, even the older Yunyan and Yunyu kept swallowing saliva when they looked at the roasted rabbit.
When the rabbit meat was tested, the taste was not so good. It's just sprinkled with a little salt, and other people don't know how to grill meat, and the effect of grilling can be imagined, some places are burnt, and some places are still raw. But everyone also eats this steamed bun with relish.
This is the most relaxing time since exile, and the reassuring atmosphere allows everyone to put their minds at ease and talk to each other. inevitably talked about Qingling's last time using copper coins to scare off the errand. The Lin family, Su Mingzhu, and a few smaller ones also looked at Qingling with bright eyes. The man in the family also expressed his curiosity implicitly.
Qingling was prepared in her heart, so she said what was ready. Coincidentally, Qingling's biological mother's family can also be said to be a traditional Chinese medicine heirloom. Her biological mother's family is small, and Qingling's grandfather is an only son who runs a small pharmacy handed down from the family. The medical skills are mediocre, and the customers are ordinary people. Life is also good, and when it comes to Qingling's mother's generation, there is a daughter in the family who has also grown up pampered.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, Qingling's grandfather suddenly contracted an emergency, and only two women were left in the family, and the clan maliciously wanted to occupy their family's property, and gave Qingling's mother to Qingling's father as a concubine.
Although Qingling's mother was pampered, she was not stupid. It was a foregone conclusion that she would become a concubine here, but on the other hand, she relied on Qingling's father to sell the pharmacy in turn, took back the things in the family, and repurchased the house for her mother, so that Qingling's grandmother had a peaceful old age.
Qingling's mother left some medical books that her grandfather often read as her thoughts, and she took them out to dry them from time to time. This also gave Qingling a reason to use medical skills in the future. As for hurting people with copper coins, Qingling directly pushed it to practice when she learned the art of golden needles.
The Su family is a layman, and he doesn't know how to hear Qingling say this, and he doesn't think it's strange. When they first got married, the Su family was also born in Qingling, and their family also checked the origin of Qingling's aunt. also knows that what Qingling said is true.
Wait for everyone to eat well. With the moonlight, on Qi's side, Su Jinglan accompanied her to boil the eggs picked up by Qingling in a clay pot. In this way, it is convenient to supplement the child's nutrition on the road. Here, Qingling asked Su Mingzhu to take Yunyuan and Yunxi to wash and rest.
She handed Brother Yao, who was excited and refused to sleep after eating a few bites of meat, to Su Jingyun to hug, and while talking to Brother Yao, she continued to take out the herbs she picked, washed them and cleaned them up. Su Jingyun watched Qingling pack up the herbs seriously, trying to memorize every step in his mind, and from time to time he interjected a sentence to ask Qingling what medicine was in her hand.
The quiet moonlight shines on the earth. In the quiet of the night, the orange fire is accompanied by the shadows of the trees, accompanied by the whispers of the family. At this moment, Qingling felt very satisfied, these were things she hadn't experienced for a long time.
