Chapter 2 Red Ginseng

Wei Xin'er rushed to her mother and blocked her father's whip, "What are you doing here?" Why did you beat your mother again? This scene often appears in the Wei family, sometimes it is the second aunt who fanned the flames, Wei Da Niu was beaten with a whip, and sometimes it was just Wei Da Niu who went crazy after eating alcohol, and he was angry with their mothers and sons.

"It's just right for you to come back, I married you to the Wang family in the next village, I took all the bride price, you damn mother actually said that you are still young and won't let you marry! You say she shouldn't be beaten, you get out of the way! As he spoke, Wei Da Niu kicked Wei Xin'er away.

"Stop fighting—stop fighting—please, don't send my daughter away!" Wei Wenshi hugged the little daughter in his arms, for fear that she would be whipped.

"What? You sold me? Wei Xin'er's face was full of surprise, although her family was poor, it would not be to the point of selling her daughter, right?

At this time, Second Aunt Zhao came out of the house, "Xin'er, where is this selling you, this is distressing for you." The old Wang family is also a small landlord in the next village, although he is a concubine, but I heard that his eldest wife is not in good health, and you will be able to correct it if you give birth to a son in two years? ”

Second Aunt Zhao's harsh words were obviously not persuasion, but sarcastic about their mother-in-law, and by the way, Wei Wen's inability to give birth to a son made Wei Daniu even more annoyed, and directly kicked Wei Wen's shoulder, "If it's useless, you know that you lose money." ”

Wei Xin'er was furious, grabbed the sickle in the back basket and rushed to his father, startling Wei Daniu and Second Aunt Zhao.

"You, you, you! What are you doing! It's against you! Wei Daniu's tone trembled when he said this, he never expected Wei Xin'er to dare to put a knife on his neck.

"If you dare to touch our mother and son again, I will kill you!" Although Wei Xin'er is kind, kindness is not bullying, Wei Da Niu bullies people too much, "Also, whoever receives the bride price money will marry, I won't marry anyway, if you dare to force me..."

"You still dare to kill your father? I'll report to the police and arrest you! ”

"Daddy like you? Let's see if you have the life to report it then! After Wei Xin'er finished speaking, she put down the sickle and helped her mother and sister back to the firewood room, leaving Wei Daniu alone in the yard scolding.

When I returned to the firewood room, I saw the scars on my mother and sister, and tears unconsciously poured into Wei Xin'er's eyes, they were all beaten for themselves! Although I have only been here for more than a month, my mother and sister have true feelings for me. She quickly took out the medicine from the basket and applied it to her mother and sister.

"Xin'er, it's your mother's incompetence that can't protect you." Wei Wenshi looked at Xin'er and said distressedly.

"Mother, don't say it, I'll protect you in the future!" These words are Wei Xin'er's heart, she has already decided, with her one day, she will protect her little sister and her mother for a lifetime.

Xu is Wei Wen's worry was too much, and he was whipped by Wei Daniu, and he couldn't get up the next day, and the high fever did not go away.

Wei Xiaomei stayed in front of Wei Wen's bed, howling and crying, "Sister-sister-what should I do?" ”

The crying noise reached Second Aunt Zhao and Wei Daniu in the room, and Second Aunt Zhao said in a sharp and thin voice, "What are you crying in the morning?" I don't know that I think there is a funeral at home! ”

"Cry, cry, cry, three people who lose money know how to cry! If you cry again, I'll kill you! Wei Daniu is also addicted, after experiencing yesterday's events, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

Wei Xin'er comforted the little sister, and looked at her mother again, the wound was not ulcerated and inflamed, it is estimated that the wind blew yesterday, and she cried again, and her mother had a little difficulty swallowing when she brought the water, and it was estimated that her throat was a little inflamed.

"Little sister, you stay at home, I'll go up the mountain to collect medicine." As he spoke, he took up his basket and sickle and went out.

When she went out, Second Aunt Zhao saw it and snorted coldly: See how long you can be proud, and soon marry into the old Wang family, this temper is estimated to be beaten to death by others! Thinking about the fact that Wei Xin'er could be beaten, Second Aunt Zhao was very happy.

Wei Xin'er went up the mountain, fortunately, the climate of this mountain is suitable, and many herbs grow here, but picking herbs is also laborious. Dandelions are easy to pick, but there are also fine thorns, as well as skullcap, bitter dice, and banlan root, if it weren't for the knowledge in school, it would be difficult to recognize it among these weeds, so Wei Xin'er also recognized it for a long time.

At dusk, Wei Xin'er thought that it was enough to have these, these were the ingredients of Pudilan medicinal materials in modern times, and the starch and thin clothes were removed in ancient times, and the medicinal effect should be more effective after being purified.

When he walked back, Wei Xin'er was attracted by a cluster of red flowers on the mountainside, although it was dusk, but the flowers were so delicate, so beautiful, as red as a pigeon crying blood. When Wei Xin'er thought of modern times, she often went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers after class, and she was used to seeing all kinds of diseases and blood in the laboratory, and she wanted to buy a phone to soothe herself after class.

Wei Xin'er came closer to smell it, there was a faint floral fragrance, but when she got closer, she smelled some herbs, such as ginseng!

In modern times, although Wei Xin'er is a medical university, she lives in the north, so ginseng is not uncommon, but it is expensive. When I took a course on medicine, I also identified ginseng, so I shouldn't be wrong.

She took out a sickle and dug carefully next to the stamens, for fear of hurting something, and after digging for a while, she switched to digging by hand, and finally saw it - it turned out to be red ginseng!

This ginseng has a very high nutritional value and has the effect of replenishing qi, which is really rare. Wei Xin'er dug out five or six ginsengs, all of which were red ginseng that had grown for decades, and when it came to the last one, it was a little small, I am afraid that it had only been a few years, and Wei Xin'er put the ginseng back.

"Two more years, maybe we can help more people." Wei Xin'er buried it back in the soil and went down the mountain with the basket on his back.

Wei Xin'er thought, take out three of these ginseng sticks and go back to make soup for her mother to replenish her qi, and take the other three sticks to the town to sell them to buy some food and clothing for her little sister. Just as I was thinking about it, I came to the door of the pawnshop.

The pawnshop guy saw Wei Xin'er carrying a basket on her back and looking poor, so he drove her away, "Let's go—we don't ask for food." ”

"I'm not here to eat, I'm here to be a thing, or a good thing! I'm afraid you can't afford it! ”
