Chapter XXIII
Li's father and mother, who originally looked disgusted, were shocked by the carving and mouse on Li Dai's body.
"Poof......
The stunned expressions of the two were very interesting, and Li Dai, who couldn't help laughing, finally held back for a while, so he didn't laugh out loud.
You must know that in the mountains of high mountains, such a wild bird and a mouse are too common.
When Li's father was in the hunting team, he practiced a good archery.
Although it can't reach the point of 100 steps through the poplar, such wild birds and rats don't know how many they have been shot.
It can be said that when he first practiced archery, these two small demon beasts died the most in his hands, and of course there were quite a few hares.
I can't imagine that such a small wild bird and a mountain mouse in front of me can still find such a precious herb as "Tuxuan Shen", which is really mouth-watering.
At the same time, it also made Li's father and Li's mother, who had been worried in recent days, smile.
In this way, these two small pets are really rare treasures, and according to the value estimate, they are far more than the value of "Tuxuan Shen".
You must know that "Tu Xuan Shen" can only be sold once, but this carving mouse can continue to pick herbs like "Tu Xuan Shen", and even pick more quality herbs whose value far exceeds that of "Tu Xuan Shen".
The facts in front of him naturally made Li's father and mother nod again and again, and they were happy.
Mother Li, who was smiling, couldn't stop praising the two pets.
"Chirp, chirp!" "Squeak"
The clever and clever Eagle and Mouse heard the surprised admiration of Li Dai's parents, and immediately let out a low sound.
Such a good opportunity to show their faces The two pets naturally would not let go easily, and immediately became triumphant, cooperating with Li Dai to say that this was all their credit.
"Yes, yes, it's our baby, then I'll have to find something to eat for them." ”
Looking at the eyes of Li's father and mother, I can't wait to hold this carving and two pets in my mouth for fear of melting, and I am afraid of breaking them in my hands!
almost offered the two little pets as little ancestors.
You must know how poor and poor Li Dai's family is at present, and even food and clothing are a problem, and it is not an exaggeration to have a full meal and a hungry meal.
Most of the families in the mountains live on two meals a day.
Now the two pets got three "Tu Xuan Shen" on the first day, which is enough for their family of ten people for a year and a half.
If you save a little money, you can spend longer.
No way!
The family is used to saving money and frugality, even if there are three "Tuxuan ginseng", it is inevitable that Li's mother, who is diligent and thrifty, will calculate carefully in her heart.
Whether it is Li's father who fell ill or his eldest son Li Da, who was hit hard, including the marriage of several children in the near future, it will take a lot of money.
The predicament in front of him naturally made Li's father and mother feel as if they were carrying several mountains, and they were overwhelmed.
Many years ago, Mother Li also heard that someone in the mountains was lucky enough to pick a high-priced "Tuxuan ginseng", and she also sold it at a pharmacy in the town for a lot of money to subsidize the family.
Now his son has actually picked three valuable "Tuxuan ginseng" with two pets, which is naturally considered to be God's eye, and it is also his turn to run at home!
In an instant!
The eyebrows that made Mother Li's two twisted knots locked together were smoothed out, and even those bright eyes were excited and faintly filled with tears, but there was a kind of joy in this gaze that broke into laughter.
This is still the first day of harvest for the two pets, and if a few more similar high-quality herbs are found in a few days, the life of the family will be hopeful.
"Mother, don't need it yet! I want my father and eldest brother to go to the town tomorrow and ask Lang Zhong to help me. Li Dai saw that the second elder was intoxicated with joy, so he opened his mouth to talk about tomorrow's plan.
He was also worried that after a while, Li's father and Li's mother would go back to the room early to rest, and it would be delayed if they talked about it early tomorrow morning.
"Can this really be cured?" Mother Li, who was in charge of the Lord, was suddenly surprised, and even forgot to find something delicious for the two little pets.
The division of labor in Li Dai's family is still very clear.
Hearing that Li Dai said that he would take Li's father and eldest son Li Da to the town tomorrow to find Lang Zhong to treat his injuries, Li's mother, who was under great pressure due to the oppression of life, burst into tears.
In fact, Li's mother never considered letting Li's father and eldest son Li Da go to the town to find Lang Zhong for treatment.
Because of how their family's current situation can afford to spend such a sum of money, even if the original injury is simply healed in a Tulang in Shili Eight Village, there is not so much money.
What's more, I still went to the town to find a higher-level Lang Zhong to see a doctor.
The Langzhong in the town is not as good as the Tulangzhong in the village, which is two levels and grades.
The level of fees is not comparable to that of the Tulang in the village, even if it is a simple treatment in the Tulang, it has already bankrupted the originally good family.
Mother Li, who can't wait to turn a penny into two pennies, how can she still consider going to the town for treatment?
Not to mention whether there is that money or not, even if there is that money, it is easy to go down the drain, and after a disease, not only does it not have any effect, but it will wipe out the huge family property, and there are many people who have such things.
Therefore, after hearing Lao Zhangtou say that going to the town to find Lang Zhong there could cure Li's father's injury, but it would cost a lot of silver taels, her heart was already cold!
Cut off the matter of going to the town for treatment, not to mention the fact that the eldest son Li Da needs to go to the county to find Dalang for medical treatment, which is even more expensive.
Li's father, who had already picked up the fallen dry tobacco on the side, heard that he was going to the town to find Lang Zhong to treat his and his eldest son Li Da's injuries, and his mood became very excited.
The big hands with green muscles "trembling" raised the dry smoke on the side of his mouth and took a few puffs, which finally calmed down the violent mood and barely calmed down.
"How did you bring the soil ginseng you picked in the medicine collection group to the house alone?" Father Li's face was covered with haggard tiredness and deep sadness, and there was a faint trace of dissatisfaction in his expression.
"Originally, I picked three Tuxuan ginseng, and I should have divided some people from the hunting team, but they meant that I would first heal your and my eldest brother's injuries. Li Dai smiled bitterly, knowing that there was inevitably a pimple in Father Li's heart!
had to patiently explain the situation at the time, lest Father Li think that he secretly hid it and brought it home.
Whether it is the herbal medicine group or the hunting group, there are many people who do this, and even Father Li knows that there is such a thing.
Li Dai also knows Li's father's upright temper, and the men in the mountains are not only straightforward, but also have the responsibility of shouldering the mountains.
Of course, not all mountain people can do this, but it just so happens that Father Li is such a character, and most of the mountain people still have a bold character.
"Yes, yes, you must first heal the injuries of your father and eldest brother, we must remember their kindness, and we must repay them well in the future, if it were not for their help, we would have had a worse time in the past few years. "Mother Li has not known Li's father's character for so many years, if he starts a temper, ten cows will not be able to pull it back, lest he say that he will send it back or something first, and there will be no room for turning back at that time.
Therefore, Mother Li hurriedly agreed that it was correct for Li Dai to bring back the three picked Tuxuan ginseng, and also proposed to feed the hunting team when she had the ability in the future.
"Adai, do I really have a chance with this injury?" Fortunately, Father Li also knew in his heart that this was not the time to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he didn't want to drag down the whole family.
As long as he waits for his injuries to recover, with Li Dai's two small pets to lead the way, not to mention hunting or picking herbs, it is extremely easy, it will be of great help to the family, and the income will at least increase exponentially.
His heart was naturally active, but he still had some doubts, if he really couldn't be cured, it would be wasted.
In front of me, there are three soil ginseng!
That's the value of being able to live for a family of ten people for a year and a half!
I can't let myself be tossed in vain.
"Lao Zhangtou said that if the Lang medicine in the town is treated, the problem is not big, but the eldest brother may have to go to the county seat to find Da Langzhong to be treated. Li Dai nodded fiercely and affirmed.
Lao Zhangtou is not a person who talks nonsense, of course, if he is drunk, he may not be able to believe it, but under normal circumstances, Lao Zhangtou is still reliable.
Since he said that Langzhong in the town can be healed, it means that there is no big problem.
"But I heard that the price is very expensive, I'm afraid these three strains of soil ginseng may not be enough! If the treatment is not good, then it will be in vain! This is the cost of our family for several years!" Father Li's heart turned sad for a while, and the look of his deep eyebrows was very entangled.
I don't know if I should go to the town to find Lang Zhong to have a look, I'm afraid that these three soil ginseng plants are far from enough, and even cost a lot of money, if the effect is not ideal, then the price will be too great.
"Don't worry, since Xiao Yi and the mountain rat can find three soil ginseng plants today, they may not be able to find it in a few days, as long as you and your eldest brother get better, no matter how much money we spend, it won't be much of a problem. Li Dai had already considered this issue, so he went to the town to find Lang Zhong to take a look.
If it can be treated in advance, the effect is naturally the best.
But what if not?
Then you have a plan in mind, and you can wait until you have enough money or high-quality herbs.
"Yes, as long as you and Ah Da get along, it will be the biggest priority for our family right now. Mother Li also persuaded on the side.
In my heart, I still can't tell what Father Li's stubborn donkey thinks.
If you lose your temper and are unwilling to go to the town for treatment, wouldn't it be a waste of your son's filial piety.
"Okay, then I'll go to town with Ah Da tomorrow. After some persuasion, Father Li's axe-like face finally relaxed, and after some compromise, he reluctantly agreed to go to the town early tomorrow morning to have a look first.
