Chapter 4 Medicine Boy

Sent away Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, and was about to go back to the house to rest, but Xu Jinniang stopped Mrs. Ming at this time, "Mother, I haven't had dinner with Xiaoyang this month......

Without waiting for Xu Jinniang to finish speaking, Mrs. Ming scolded and said, "A group of broom stars, what to eat, can you starve to death if you don't eat a meal?" ”

Thinking of this, Mingyue felt very speechless, the food at home, in order to prevent the family from stealing food, was locked in the cabinet from time to time, and the key was held by Mrs. Ming at any time.

was originally busy, Mingyue forgot that she hadn't eaten dinner, and when her mother mentioned it, she instantly felt so hungry, her eyes flashed, and she said timidly, "If you don't eat dinner, I'm afraid I won't have much energy when I go to Uncle Zhang's tomorrow." ”

Sure enough, the old man Ming, who was walking in front of Mrs. Ming, opened his mouth, "You mother-in-law, give the key to the second daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Ming was about to speak again, but she was glared at by Old Man Ming and lost her temper, so she angrily took out the key from her body and handed it to Xu Jinniang, and scolded and scolded, "A group of delicious and lazy things." ”

This night, Xu Jinniang and Mingyue tossed until late before going to sleep.

After boiling some corn paste and eating the pickles, Boss Ming also took the medicine back.

Xu Jinniang took care of Mingyang in the house, and Mingyue stayed in the stove house to boil medicine for Mingyang, and by the way, she went to the pigweed pile to find the herbs for her mother, mashed them together and sent them into the house, and after feeding Mingyang the medicine, let her mother also drink a bowl, and then put herbs on her mother's arm, and then fell asleep.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, tired from a day of work, and tossed so late at night, Mingyue felt so tired and sleepy, she couldn't even open her eyes.

Early the next morning, Mingyue did not slack off because of the fatigue of the previous night, and as soon as it was dawn, she sat up and began to get dressed.

Xu Jinniang looked at Mingyue's movements, and also sat up, afraid of arguing with Mingyang, who was still sleeping, and asked softly, "Did you pass so early?" ”

Mingyue nodded "um", quickly got dressed, took the clay pot she had found yesterday, and went out with a hint of fish white in the sky.

Going out from the front yard through the front hall is bound to alarm the people in front, so Mingyue habitually chose to climb over the wall, but this thin body, or malnutrition and lack of exercise, this wall is only more than one meter high, which makes Mingyue a little difficult.

Out of the courtyard, Mingyue did not go to Uncle Zhang's house, but quickly ran towards the mountains that stretched in the direction of Daliang Mountain, which few people go.

At this time, few people went out, so Mingyue didn't meet anyone along the way, which saved trouble.

After entering Daliang Mountain, Mingyue was familiar with the road and soon arrived at a cave, and it seemed that it was not the first time he came to this cave.

This cave is dry and tidy, Mingyue just came here for a few days, ate a few days of Mingjia rice, hungry chest against the back, really can't stand it, and finally picked this rarely people come to Daliang Mountain, it is said that there are many wild beasts on this mountain, just to find some wild things to fight tooth sacrifice.

However, Mingyue is not conceited enough to drill into the depths of Daliang Mountain, if she really encounters any powerful wild things, her current small body and this defenseless will not be able to cope with it.

Just wandering around the periphery of this Daliang Mountain, I accidentally found this cave, there will be traces of people in the cave, Mingyue looked left and right, and knew that it was the place where the hunter settled, but the things inside were covered with dust, and it was estimated that no one had been here for a long time.

Mingyue cleaned up the cave, and occasionally took the time to come here to hunt hares and pheasants, and from time to time she also secretly brought her younger brother Mingyang over to fight tooth sacrifices.

Mingyang is young, but he is very coaxing, and his mouth is very strict, as for his mother, Mingyue chose to hide it first, as far as Mingyue understands, if she knows, I am afraid that she will not have a chance to come up in the future.

It's just that Mingyang was injured this time, but Mingyue couldn't take care of this, and she didn't know when it would get better with the little food at home.

went to the trap that had been laid before to find a pheasant, Mingyue set up a pot in the cave, boiled a pot of chicken soup, and put it in the clay pot he brought, and it was already bright outside at this time.

Mingyue drank some chicken soup by herself, nibbled on two pieces of chicken, and then wrapped the clay pot with straw before going down the mountain.

At this time, there were already people in the outer mountain villages who began to go to the ground one after another, and Mingyue picked a small path that few people had found before, and quickly rushed back.

The sky was already bright, and Mingyue was not good to go over the wall to enter from the backyard, so she had to enter the house from the front yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she met Mrs. Ming, who was sweeping the yard, and watched Mingyue come in with a jar, and it was rare that she didn't scold, but asked, "You didn't go to Zhang Langzhong's house, why did you come back now?" ”

Mingyue regained her previous cowardice and replied, "Uncle Zhang asked me to bring medicinal food back to my younger brother. ”

Mrs. Ming frowned and opened her mouth, Mingyue thought that she was going to be scolded again, but Mrs. Ming stopped her mouth in time and held back, but said, "Then hurry back to the house, since it has passed, study hard, don't lose the face of our Ming family." ”

Mingyue nodded in response, and walked quickly to the backyard, there was no one at home, and it seemed that they had all gone to the ground.

Because Xu Jinniang is not very good at farming, she has been in charge of the housework at home, so she is cooking pig food in the kitchen at this time, and decocting medicine to Mingyang by the way.

Seeing Mingyue carrying a jar back to the house, she got up and followed back to the house, and asked, "Yue'er, didn't you go to Zhang Langzhong's house, why did you come back at this time, did you have breakfast?" ”

Mingyue put the jar on the table, walked to the kang, touched the forehead of Mingyang, who was already asleep, it was no longer burning, and said in her mouth, "Eat, I'm going to go over later, can my brother eat?" ”

Xu Jinniang walked over and sat down by the kang and responded, "I ate a bowl of porridge." ”

Mingyue was about to say that there was chicken soup in the jar and waited for Mingyang to wake up and drink, but she heard a slight footstep outside the door, Mingyue's eyes flashed, afraid that her milk had sneaked over and eavesdropped outside.

Mingyue was a little speechless, and when the words came to her mouth, she had to take them back and change them to, "On the table is the medicine prepared by Uncle Zhang, saying that my brother will eat it quickly, and my mother will wait for my brother to wake up and feed it to my brother, and I will go to Uncle Zhang's side first." ”

After saying that, listening to the footsteps outside, Mingyue carefully leaned into her mother's ear and muttered a few words.

After Mingyue finished speaking, Xu Jinniang looked at Mingyue with a worried face, ready to speak, Mingyue rushed in front and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own measure." ”

Listening to Mingyue's words, Xu Jinniang took Mingyue's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "My family Yue'er has grown up. ”

Since the last accident, Xu Jinniang has felt that her family has changed slightly, becoming more and more sensible and capable, of course Xu Jinniang could not have thought that her daughter had changed someone, but she was stimulated to become more sensible.

Mingyue patted her mother's hand comfortingly, and said, "Mother, I'll go first, don't let people find out." With that, he got up and walked out the door.

Seeing that Mingyue was gone, Xu Jinniang wiped her eyes and went out to the kitchen, the pigsty pig was still waiting for her to feed.

Along the way, Mingyue thought about it carefully, and it seemed that unconsciously, Xu Jinniang and Mingyang had become their dearest relatives, in their previous life, they grew up in an orphanage, and they didn't know who their parents were, so they never seemed to have experienced this feeling.

At this moment, Mingyue seemed to see her goal of living here, that is, to let her mother and younger brother live a good life.

When I got to Zhang's house in the past, I saw Zhang Langzhong's mother grinding medicine in the yard, and Mingyue obediently shouted, "Grandma Zhang." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked up and saw that it was Mingyue, a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said with a smile, "The moon girl is here, have you had breakfast?" ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "Eat, Grandma Zhang, I'll help you grind the medicine." ”

Mrs. Zhang said, "You go into the house and follow your Uncle Zhang to learn more, and I'll just grind the medicine." Mingyue had no choice but to go down into the house.

The origin of this Zhang family, Mingyue has heard one or two from her mother, but it is quite mysterious.

It is said that Mrs. Zhang came to this outer mountain village alone with her teenage son Zhang Zhi, at that time Zhang Zhi was only ten years old, but he knew some medical skills, after coming to this outer mountain village, he bought an idle yard and lived, and there was no land, so he practiced medicine in the village, and settled down in the outer mountain village.

After Zhang Zhi became an adult, he went out and brought back Aunt Zhang, but for so many years, Zhang Zhi has almost entered middle age, but Aunt Zhang has not come out, which is why Mrs. Zhang is a kind person, but she has never been waiting to see Aunt Zhang, and she can't hold her grandson, so she has been looking for Aunt Zhang's stubble.

As soon as Mingyue entered the room where Uncle Zhang was, she saw rows of medicine shelves in the room, and on the shelves, next to each medicine, the name of the medicine was marked with a black brush, and Uncle Zhang was sitting on a table next to him as if writing something.

Mingyue didn't dare to make a sound, so she walked to the medicine shelf by herself and watched it row by row.

"The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the moon girl is a little late."

Mingyue was looking at the two words on the medicine shelf, the name of the medicine Mingyue was the first time she had seen it, and those two words were rare words, Mingyue didn't know it, and was about to reach out and grab a little to see what kind of medicine it was, but she didn't even know it, so she was shocked by Uncle Zhang's sudden sound, and quickly withdrew her hand.

Mingyue turned to look at Uncle Zhang, put away her usual cowardice at home, and responded with a generous smile, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, my younger brother is injured and needs to be taken care of, so I delayed time." ”

Thinking of the situation in Mingyue's house, Zhang Langzhong didn't dwell on this topic anymore, pointed to a small table next to the medicine shelf by the door, and said, "In the future, that will be your place, there is a book of "Hundred Herbs" on the table, if you want to practice medicine to save people, you must first know all kinds of herbs, and be proficient in the medicinal properties of various herbs. ”

Mingyue responded, "No problem, if you don't understand, I'll ask you for advice." After speaking, he sat down at the table and began to seriously flip through the book of "Hundred Herbs".
