Chapter 39: Food and Color
Cai Wei hooked her lips and smiled, and went up the mountain.
There are no precious medicinal materials on the mountain, they are all common and inconspicuous, ordinary people think they are just weeds, but they are treasures in the eyes of Cai Wei.
She plucked more purslane, which was very rare in ancient times.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics, and wounds were prone to inflammation and infection, and purslane has the effect of broad-spectrum antibiotics, although it is not so easy to use, it is better than nothing.
Just like that man, he was so badly injured, if he hadn't drunk and eaten purslane every day, the wound might have festered into something.
After pulling out half of the purslane, Cai Wei stroked his face and continued to look for other medicinal herbs.
On a hot day, there is no shortage of this kind of weed in the mountains, so it also saves her a lot of trouble.
Seeing that the back basket was quickly filled and pressed firmly, Cai Wei hummed happily.
For her as a doctor, there is nothing more exciting than finding a life-saving herb.
It's a pity that the iron bull is sick and can't go up the mountain together. Otherwise, two people can pull out two baskets every day, and maybe they can carry them to the town and sell them when the time comes.
If that man is well, he will have to go up the mountain and follow him to chop wood and collect medicine!
She secretly decided that she couldn't let him eat and drink for nothing and raise a white-eyed wolf to come out!
Seeing that it was not early, Cai Wei hurriedly went down the mountain.
When I passed by the door of Lotus's house, there was already a dark shadow in the sky.
Her house is at the back of the village, and it is a courtyard with one entrance.
The five-room tiled house was occupied by a family of four, and there were a few helpers living in the upside-down house, including a shepherd who tended sheep, and two women who did rough work.
It was evident that this family was richer than the rest of the village.
At this time, the Lotus family has already turned on the lamp, bright, and there is the sound of walking back and forth and the clatter of dishes in the courtyard, thinking that it is a meal.
Cai Wei slammed her mouth, resisting the smell of food wafting in the evening breeze.
Like their family, they have to eat two meals a day, and they are really hungry, but they can boil some porridge and drink.
Compared to the Lotus family, their family is too poor.
It seems that if you want to live better than others, you need to make more money.
Cai Wei is determined to get rich, and her steps are much lighter than when she came.
When I arrived in the courtyard, I took off the basket, poured out the herbs that were bundled and sorted, and spread them out in the courtyard to dry, and it was dark that day.
She entered the hall, lit the soybean oil lamp, and looked at Widow Mu's ankle, which was swollen and tall, and pressed a mark.
Widow Mu woke up a long time ago when she heard the movement, but she was lazy to speak, and was so hurt by Cai Wei that she opened her mouth, "Where have you gone crazy these half days?" ”
Cai Wei grinned, "Where else can I go?" Brother Tie Niu and Aunt Li almost died, I didn't go to collect some medicine, could I watch them die? ”
Anyway, Widow Mu already knew that she knew medical skills, so she simply opened the skylight and said something.
"Ah, what a sin." Widow Mu sighed, and sat up, her hair was scattered like a handful of withered grass, but her expression was much more normal.
"I never thought that after so many years, you would still be able to heal." Widow Mu's big, godless eyes stared at Cai Wei, accompanied by a faint oil lamp, a little crazy.
Cai Wei's heart jumped when she heard this, what did she mean by this? What does it mean that after so many years, she can still know medical skills?
Could it have been that she used to be a doctor?
No wonder Widow Mu knew that she knew how to heal, and didn't ask her who she learned from, it seems that she has been able to do it since she was a child. Could it be that the original body, like her, was also born in a medical family?
Just when was it before? How old is it?
The original body is fourteen this year, and it hasn't been until then, if it was before, how many years ago?
Widow Mu didn't say anything, she wanted to ask, but she knew that this woman would not tell her.
Although she has been with her for a few days, the stubbornness in this woman's bones is not comparable to ordinary people.
"What's so bad about knowing how to heal? At least, they won't let Brother Tie Niu and Aunt Li die. Cai Wei replied faintly while holding the unused toad crisp and putting it on Widow Mu's ankle.
"There's nothing wrong with knowing how to heal, but you shouldn't be able to!" Widow Mu stared at her face for a long time, and then said this hatefully.
Cai Wei was confused when she heard this, looking at this, this woman is not resistant to women studying medicine, but why can't she do it when it is her turn?
She was full of questions and uncomfortable, but when she met the woman's terrible eyes, she still swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Forget it, don't ask.
When she wants to say it, she will naturally tell her!
After finishing the work on Widow Mu's side, Cai Wei hurriedly went to the side house to boil medicine.
When a fire was lit under the stove, the house became bright, and the face of the man lying on the broken felt mat in the corner was like jade, and the country was overwhelmed.
Cai Wei looked in a daze, only to feel saliva flowing out of the corners of her mouth.
Lu Ying had already woken up at this time, and when she saw this girl salivating, she frowned in disgust, "Don't look like you're squinting, make it look like I'm a fragrant bait!" ”
"Snort~ You, you don't have any fun at all!" Cai Wei brushed the pot, her subordinates kept moving, but her mouth was very numb, "Don't you know that this is called Xiu Se Ke Dining?" Someone like you is full just looking at it without eating. ”
Lu Ying's expression was obscure in the stove fire, and when she heard Cai Wei say that he was "good", she snorted coldly angrily, "You dead girl, you have a sharp mouth." Wait for the day when you suffer a loss, you will be honest. ”
"Hmph, I can't say I'll do this, I'm so stingy, are you still a man?" Cai Wei was unceremonious and stepped on Lu Ying's death hole.
Lu Ying was buried by her, and her face turned red with anger, but she was helpless.
I can't help it, just listen, I can't get angry.
Let's say a few words, she scolded him for not being a man.
This woman is really hard!
"Hmph, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise!' Lu Ying held back for a long time, and held back such a sentence that was appropriate to the situation.
"Heh, the ancients also said a word, you know?" Cai Wei came to her senses, turned around with a smile, and looked at Lu Ying's deflated face.
"What?" Lu Ying intuitively didn't have anything good to say, but she still couldn't help asking.
"Haha, 'Food, sex, too.'" Haven't you heard? ”
How could Lu Ying not have heard of it?
But he couldn't answer, let alone recognize. Once recognized, won't you fall into the trap again?
That really made this girl succeed, but she caught him and saw it.
Seeing that he was so angry that he didn't turn his head, Cai Wei was in a good mood.
It seems that saving this man is not a trouble, at least, she is tired from a busy day, and she can have a quarrel when she comes home.
