Chapter 007: Help
"I ...... I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”
The scholar blushed, turned around, and quickly stuffed the clothes that had been turned out again.
Then he dragged the two stunned little guys behind him, "Let's hurry up and go to the cave in front of us." ”
Uh, cave foot!
Han Chuxia looked up suspiciously, and saw that these guys were really going to the cave at the foot of the mountain in front of them.
Grandma also came out at this time, and when she saw a few scholars, she also frowned and sighed. "That scholar is the big baby picked up by Lao Lei in our village. is also a good person with good rewards, not long after picking up the child, Lao Lei's mother-in-law, who had not been pregnant for a long time, was also pregnant. The two little ones are the biological children born after Lao Lei did good deeds.
When Lao Lei was still there, the child still received some education, and the family conditions were good at that time, but since Lao Lei was gone, the child lived alone with the widowed old mother, pulling two young siblings. Last year, I heard that I got married to Xiang Gui in the village. Right now...... I guess it's Xianggui who is dead! Kicked out......"
Uh, Xiang Gui, Lei family!
Sounds so complicated.
"Well, the Xianggui family is barely rich in our village.
Xianggui is the only daughter in the family, and she is inevitably loved by her family. It's a pity that life is also a bad thing, since I was a child, my body was weak, and no one dared to say goodbye at the age of eighteen.
When he was nineteen years old, he began to be seriously ill, and the family was afraid that the girl would not be married and the soul would not be reincarnated, so they gave Lei Shusheng, who was down-and-out at the time, and wanted to be angry with the book to recover from his illness, or after he died, he could also be a scholar's wife.
It is said that if you are married for twenty taels of silver, even if Xianggui is dead, she can still erect the tombstone of Lei Chen.
It's a pity that the twenty taels of silver didn't exchange for the life of the scholar's widow, and after burying the person, the scholar came to the door to become the son-in-law of the Chen family. Now...... Most of the girls left, and the scholar's family was thrown away. ”
Yes, the scholar who felt that he had sold his life, and exchanged twenty taels of silver to save his mother, and he was also filial.
"I heard that Xianggui is not good a year ago, and now that I am a scholar, needless to say, there are no more people. The masters of the Chen family have long been displeased with the scholarly brothers and sisters. The daughter is gone, of course, she will pick up people. ”
Grandma is just guessing, but it's not far from ten. Obviously, the brothers and sisters of the scholar are also poor.
When the pig was cleaned and put into the water, the cold and early summer were confirmed, and the three brothers and sisters of the scholar were really living in the cave here.
There are no caves in the village, and now the caves here can barely accommodate people as long as they have some firewood or something outside.
At lunchtime, Wan came in a hurry with his five younger siblings. As for Father Han?
"Your father has a lot of things to do, and he can't leave. I said, big girl, did you really add a lot of food? Mother told you, you can't be too wasteful, you and the dog baby haven't eaten yet, what are you tossing around here......"
Wan kept counting, and the five younger siblings stared curiously at the pot of stewed pig she brought out and swallowed their saliva.
"Mother, let's start dinner first, I'm lucky, I changed some silver, and in the future, life will be better. Let's eat first today, don't you see that my brothers and sisters are hungry, especially Xiaoliu, who is even more hungry. ”
Wan Shi took a look, but no, several children in his own family were all staring at the big bowl of water on the table and swallowing saliva. At that moment, he dragged the dog baby, "Baby, let's eat." ”
It was said that the pig went into the water, but in the early summer of the cold and early summer, he also cut some slices of meat and put them in it.
The other pork head meat is also salted and set aside.
The house is far away from the city, and it is not easy to cut meat and buy something, so I want to make the meat into smoked meat in the early summer.
"I said, big girl, you got meat and lavender meat all of a sudden, how much money do you have at this time?" Wan Shi was very dissatisfied with Han Chuxia's this, and kept frowning.
In the early summer, after serving a bowl of soup and brown rice, they were sent to Wan's hands together, "Mother, if you call my father back, he must not have eaten." Well, my life will be fine, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Wan Shi saw her like this, and in the end, he didn't say anything more, and turned around to leave with a few children.
It's just that the second girl and the third girl are not happy to go home.
"Mother, let's cut the pigweed here, and we can carry back the pig food at night."
When Wan Shi came home, the two younger sisters chattered around the cold early summer. She didn't need to ask more, so she told the scholar about it.
"Lei Shusheng is also a bitter life, that Xianggui went yesterday, and today Xianggui's father said that he would sell a few of their brothers and sisters, as the money spent in the past few years. In the end, the scholar had no choice but to give the family's own land and the land of the old house to the Lei family, and then took Xiushui and Cheng Nan out of the Lei family. ”
It was really taken away, and it came out without a single hair. This time, the scholar's family was also worried when they thought about it.
In the evening, in the early summer, I saw the little girl Lei Xiushui of the scholar's family, picking a lot of wild fruits and wild vegetables to the entrance of the cave, and after a while, there was some thick smoke and fog. Obviously, this family is spending time for the sake of living.
Sighing at the poverty of the days here, he began to toss his chili sauce in the early summer.
The beans are weighed back, first cooked, and then peeled. Finally, the petals are sprouted in a dark place, and when the long yellow hairs come out, they can be dried and made into chili sauce.
However, at this time, she has to pick some peppers to come back. Therefore, in the next few days, in the cold and early summer, I will take the baby to the mountains to go around and pick wild peppers.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
In the past ten days, only three days of brown rice have been eaten.
And the chili sauce will have to be made in a few days. And, worryingly, the chili sauce is not necessarily on sale. Yes, there is still a serious problem in front of us - food!
"Poor, you have to find a way to make money, or what will you eat in three days?"
Looking at the reckless mountains, looking at the little baby around him worrying about playing with the insects on the ground, the one who was worried in the early summer.
"Fungus, chili sauce, do I really want to set up a stall on the street?"
It's definitely not okay to set up a water stall by yourself.
Embroidery?
She won't.
Spinning, it won't.
Selling recipes?
The restaurant is not bad at all with her modern recipes.
At this time, the cold early summer really realized that the reality was really cruel.
"I must find a way to make a fortune."
In the end, the eyes of the cold early summer fell on the mountains in the distance. Tomorrow, maybe we can go a little deeper. Although, the people in the village say that there are tigers, lions, and some big guys inside. However, in order to survive, she could no longer be idle.
"I still know about medicinal herbs, so ...... It is feasible to go into the mountains and find some medicinal herbs. ”
In modern times, thanks to the family business of her grandfather who is a Chinese medicine doctor and her father, who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, she still knows a little about pharmacology. In the past few days, it's not that I haven't looked for medicinal herbs outside.
It's a pity that there are not many decent medicines out there, and some of them are just some simple medicinal herbs.
"The last time I inquired, the pharmacy actually wants to buy medicinal materials, but it has to be moxibustion. Fortunately, girl, I still know medicinal herbs. It's just that starting tomorrow, the baby can't be brought into the mountain. ”
When I went down the mountain and passed the cave of the scholars and siblings, I heard a mournful cry from inside.
"Brother...... Younger brother ......"
The footsteps stopped for a moment, and finally, after a hard struggle, turned around, scooped two large bowls of brown rice from home, mixed with some smoked meat, and sent them to the mouth of the cave together, and after throwing another stone, he turned around and left quickly.
In the cave, Lei Chengfeng, who was anxious by his younger brother's fever, came out after hearing the movement and saw a large bowl of rice and meat.
With a slight movement of his heart, he slowly bent down and picked up the food.
"Third brother, we have something to eat, you can be fine after eating it in a while."
Xu had meat to eat and food to eat, Lei Chengnan, who was originally feverish, actually had a fever after eating, and the fever slowly subsided.
Watching his little brother's fever subside, Lei Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt more and more worried.
"It seems that I have only one way into the mountains."
Staring at the direction of the deep mountain, Lei Chengfeng gritted his teeth and began to sharpen the firewood knife.
I heard that there are a lot of beasts in the mountains, that Xiao Yiwen, but he makes a living by hunting, people can, he ...... That's fine.
The genius was bright, and Lei Chengfeng began to set off into the mountain.
In the cold early summer, after the dawn broke, he entrusted the baby to his grandmother, and set off to the mountain with a sickle.
The pants were tied up, and the sickle was sharpened.
I went deep into the five mountains, watched the sun, and it was almost noon, and I came to a valley in the cold early summer. After habitually walking around and getting a general understanding of the terrain, I began to look around to see the plants in this area.
"There's Eucommia here! This is a good thing, so you have to pick more of it. And this one, what is this flower with forks, ah, not a flower, this is? It's actually an octagonal maple, angelica...... This is? ”
When I saw the thing with a few horns, I was excited.
"Octagon, Octagon! There's star anise here, haha, this is a really good thing. This valley is a treasure land, an absolute treasure land. ”
Star anise, not only can be used as medicine.
What's more, it can be used as a seasoning.
There are several anise trees in this vicinity.
In other words, if she sells the star anise, she can exchange it for a lot of food.
Thinking of this, I was excited to pick it in early summer.
"Help...... Help......"
However, an untimely cry sounded on the left.
Immediately after, a rumbling hoof was heard......
When I saw the swiftly approaching leopard body, my legs were weak in the early summer.
"Leopard ......"
"Run, run, run......"
The person who came was none other than Lei Chengfeng, a scholar named by the people in the village.
In the cold early summer, he picked up the sickle and ran to the cliff in front of him.
When she came, she had explored this area, and she knew that there was a hole, and she wondered if there would be any treasure or something in it.
Now it's time to hide inside.
"Help......
Lei Chengfeng ran fast, perhaps because he saw someone, at this moment, he ran faster^
