Mu Lingkong was not familiar with this village, and of course it would be good to have Chun Tao with her, so she stood aside, waited for Chun Tao to pack up, and led the way for her.

The sky is still bright, the smoke has risen from every house, in the snow, the dim lights from the windows are exceptionally warm, and the chickens and dogs are crowing in the distance, and the small village seems to be infused with infinite vitality in an instant.

Chun Tao led the way in front of her, and explained to Mu Lingkong, "Sun Hua's father has a cough disease, and he often prepares medicine at home, so go to her house and ask first." ”

Mu Lingkong nodded silently, followed her along a stream, and walked to a slightly higher dirt slope, only to see her so-called Sun Hua family.

It is also a simple farmhouse courtyard, and at this time the firewood door is closed, and the dogs in the yard have barked wildly when they hear the human voice.

Chun Tao stepped forward and shouted while knocking on the door, "Hua'er, are you at home?" Open the door, I'm Chun Tao! ”

The sound of footsteps sounded in the courtyard for a long time, and with the "squeak" of the chaimen, a round-faced girl with a double bun poked her head out and asked in wonder, "What's wrong Chun Tao, is there anything wrong so early?" ”

Then he saw Mu Lingkong behind Chun Tao, and opened his mouth in a daze.

In the dim skylight, Mu Lingkong was dressed in a goose-yellow riding costume, standing on the side with her arms crossed, looking sideways at the mountains in the distance, the exposed half of her face was already wonderful, her nose was straight, her jaw was beautiful, and when she turned her head to look at it, a pair of extremely beautiful apricot eyes seemed to contain stars in the sky, dazzling.

Sun Hualeng was stunned for a long time before she heard what Chun Tao said, "Medicine?" I still have some medicinal herbs left in my house, come in and take a look! ”

After saying that, get out of the way and let the two of them in.

Sun Hua's family is much the same as Zhichun's peach family, except that there is a big black dog tied to the courtyard wall, and he is lazily lying in the grass at this time, looking at the few people who came in.

Sun Hua's father and younger brother were eating in the hall when they heard Chun Tao say the purpose of coming, so they hurriedly got out of the way and went to find herbs.

Only Sun Hua's younger brother Sun Cao was left, standing in place and secretly looking at Mu Lingkong.

While helping to find herbs, Sun Hua whispered to Chun Tao, "This is the person you and your father brought back?" The one with a belt of pearls? ”

Chun Tao's eyes didn't lift, "It's not her, it's her husband, and a belt is inlaid with thumb-sized pearls." ”

Sun Hua gasped, "Good girl, how rich it should be!" ”

Chun Tao continued, "This lady, there are also a few pearls on her boots, you can sneak a look at them later, they are big and round." ”

When the two of them came out of the room, Mu Lingkong keenly felt that the girl named Sun Hua was a little weird, and glanced at her feet from time to time.

But she didn't have time to care about it at the moment, and asked anxiously, "How?" How many herbs are there? ”

Chun Tao opened the cloth pocket and showed her, "There are two flavors, and we will continue to find the rest!" ”

Mu Lingkong nodded, then looked at Sun Hua hesitantly, "I don't have any silver money on me now......"

Sun Hua smiled heartily and waved her hand, "Distant relatives and good neighbors, what kind of money to talk about, take it away!" After finishing speaking, Chong Chuntao blinked meaningfully.

Since people said so, Mu Lingkong didn't say anything more, thinking about repaying it in the future.

The two embarked on the road of searching for medicine again, Mu Ling was so anxious that he didn't notice the complicated gaze that Chun Tao was betting on her at this moment.

She thought of what Sun Hua had just told her, "That boy is handsome and rich, why don't you want to find a way to climb him?" It's better than staying in this small mountain village, and you're not bad! If you can be the concubine of that prince, you can also wear such good clothes and pearl-inlaid shoes like this lady. ”

Chun Tao thought of Feng Mingzhen's handsome appearance like a celestial, and her heart was hot. When passing by a stream, she couldn't help but look at her reflection in the water, and secretly thought, yes, she is not bad-looking, her eyes are slender and charming, the bridge of her nose is straight, and in addition to her slightly dark complexion, she is also a famous beauty in the village.

If she becomes the concubine of the son, with the wealth of the son, she keeps the bird's nest pearl every day, is she still afraid that she will not come back? I heard that the rich businessmen and wives in the county used pearls to grind into powder to cover their faces, and they raised them white and fine.

She thought about it for a while, and it seemed that becoming Feng Ming's real concubine was close at hand, and her pace slowed down.

Mu Lingkong couldn't help but turn around and urge, "Spring Peach girl, hurry up a little!" ”

saw Chun Tao suddenly snort, rolled her eyes, and walked straight past her.

“……”

The two took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawn, and asked a few households in a row, and found one flavor of medicinal materials, but unfortunately there were still two flavors.

When it was dawn, the two returned to Chun Tao's house.

Chun Tao took out the medicinal herbs in the bag and asked Mu Lingkong, "What should I do, it's hard to get out of the mountain now due to the heavy snow, so I boiled these herbs?" ”

Mu Lingkong shook his head, "The medicinal materials are not complete, let's not talk about whether it will waste this hard-won medicinal material, I'm afraid that the medicinal effect will also be discounted." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, she stood up and asked Chun Tao, "Where do you usually pick medicines, I'll go to pick them now." ”

Chun Tao opened her mouth wide, "There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the back mountain, but now that the snow is covering the mountain, there are still fierce beasts infested......"

Mu Lingkong didn't stop, so he began to pack up things and dry food, and then asked Chun Tao to borrow a bow and arrow.

Chun Tao glanced at her slender ten fingers, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said a little mockingly, "Seeing that your ten fingers don't touch the spring water, is it possible that you can shoot arrows?" ”

Mu Lingkong didn't know how this Chun Tao was yin and yang at this time, but she was not good-natured, so she said with a cold face, "Give it to me!" ”

Chun Tao snorted coldly again, thinking about giving it to her, just watching her make a fool of herself.

went to the hall to get a bow and arrow, and carried the burden on his back, "Let you go to the back mountain, and you were taken away by the beast, I can't explain to my son!" ”

Mu Lingkong took the bow and arrow, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "You don't need to explain, just tell me how to go back to the mountain?" ”

*

In the mountains and forests in winter, silent and cold, Mu Lingkong and Chun Tao trekked in knee-deep snow, struggling to move forward.

From time to time, there would be strange noises in the woods, and the startled spring peaches were all trembling, but Mu Lingkong looked calm, and lowered his head to look for herbs carefully.

Chun Tao understands this to mean that the ignorant are fearless, and she has no idea how terrible the mountains and forests are in winter.

Mu Lingkong only looked for a while, then stopped and asked Chun Tao, "The snow is so deep, it is estimated that there are no herbs to be found, where will the snow around here be shallow?" ”

Chun Tao thought for a while, "There is a valley with a suitable temperature in it, there should be herbs, it is ......"

Even in a place where the temperature is right, in addition to herbs, there will also be fierce beasts.

Mu Lingkong also thought of this, and said in a low voice, "Then go there!" ”

Chun Tao's words of admonition suddenly blocked her throat, and she couldn't help but remind, "There will definitely be beasts there!" ”

Mu Lingkong glanced at her like an idiot, "Otherwise, what am I doing with a bow and arrow?" ”
