149 The Man in the Grass (15th of the First Month+)
Shen Jiao was overjoyed when she looked at such a strong wormwood, although the weed of mugwort leaves was not as amazing as the dog's tail grass, it was really a wonderful herb. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Detoxification, insect repellent, evil spirits, edible, etc., have many effects, just like fairy grass, which are much more useful than those beautiful flowers, and her Shen family has always had the tradition of using mugwort to maintain health.
Eat mugwort in spring, smoke mugwort in summer, or bathe in soup with mugwort leaves, the sachet hanging on the child's body is filled with sun-dried mugwort leaves, as long as the grandfather in the previous life is unwell, he will ask the doctor at home to give him the old man's moxa, order a few moxa sticks, after the burning, the spirit is better, the meal is fragrant, and the disease is gone.
"The sun is good these days, and the mugwort leaves can be dried in just two or three days, Sister Xinghua, let's cut more." Shen Jiao bent down and cut it with her hands.
Ma Xinghua was not to be left behind, she moved very fast, and cut a large piece in a few brushes, and the basket was stuffed.
"Let's pile it here first, and then carry it back to dry later." Ma Xinghua suggested.
"Okay, I'll teach you how to make mugwort when it's sunburned, but it's a pity that you can't eat tender mugwort leaves for a few days, these mugwort leaves are too old to make mugwort cakes to eat." Shen Jiao had some regrets.
In the early spring, she picked a lot of fresh mugwort leaves and mixed them with rice flour to make mugwort cakes, although the materials were limited, but Shen Jiaxing and they all said that they were delicious, and the fragrance of mugwort leaves made simple rice noodles delicious.
Ma Xinghua smiled: "Is it the green cake you gave me to eat last time?" It's really delicious, fragrant and glutinous, but the rice noodles are just as delicious even if they are paired with dog tail grass! ”
Shen Jiao choked back angrily: "Then you will cut a bundle of dog tail grass, I will give you another pot of rice noodles, and you go back to make dumplings to eat!" ”
"Hee-hee!"
Ma Xinghua giggled a few times, continued to cut the mugwort leaves, and a wasp buzzed over, Ma Xinghua hurriedly picked up a mugwort leaf to drive away the wasps, and kept shouting 'go and go'.
The hornet probably didn't like the smell of mugwort leaves, and soon buzzed back and burrowed into a tree, Shen Jiao looked at it, and there was a big honeycomb in that tree.
"Sister Xinghua, there's a big honeycomb!" Shen Jiao dragged Ma Xinghua to watch.
Ma Xinghua's saliva flowed down: "Ouch, it's really big, I'm afraid I can have two catties of honey, if only I could get it down, we can still eat bee chrysalis, fragrant to death." ”
Although Shen Jiao was also greedy, she was even more afraid of being stung by bees, so she hurriedly said: "This is a hornet's nest, you can settle down, be careful of being pricked by a hornet." ”
"I know, but I don't dare to mess with the hornet."
Although she said so, the longing in Ma Xinghua's eyes was obvious, and her mouth was smashed a few times, and Shen Jiao could even hear the grunt in her throat, and she couldn't help but laugh.
But he is also very sympathetic to Ma Xinghua, to put it simply, it is all famine, if you can eat meat every day, you can eat a full meal, Ma Xinghua and those children outside, how can they be so eager for these wild food!
Just like herself, if she hadn't experienced the pain of hunger, she would still be the eldest lady of the Shen family who never gets tired of eating!
Where will she be able to eat these coarse tea and light rice!
At this time, it was almost evening, and the sun was gradually setting, and Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also cut a lot of wormwood and piled up a hill on the ground.
"Sister Xinghua, let's cut it here today, let's get these mugwort leaves back first." Shen Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood at the bottom of the slope.
The wormwood on this slope made the two of them cut a large piece, and it was empty at once, and Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also unconsciously approached the thatch below.
Those evil eyes looked up without blinking, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, it was really effortless!
The two beautiful girls all let him meet, and he was left alone, isn't this God helping him Sun Maodan!
It turned out that the man hiding in the grass was Sun Maodan, he was sleeping in the thatch, and was woken up by the sound of Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, and evil thoughts suddenly arose in his heart.
When Sun Maodan was about to get out of the grass, there were a few sheep bleating from above, which frightened him and shrank back.
It was Shi Guangshan who came over to herd sheep, and when he saw Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, he smiled and said, "Why don't you two girls go back?" It's getting dark. ”
"I'll be back soon, Grandpa Shi, slow down!"
In front of Ma Xinghua, Shen Jiao does not hide her familiarity with Shi Guangshan, there is no need to hide it, the Ma family is on the same road as her!
"I'll wait for you to go!" Shi Guangshan is still a little worried, after all, they are two beautiful girls.
Ma Xinghua picked up a basket of mugwort leaves and was about to leave, when she suddenly patted her head and said with annoyance: "Ouch, why did I forget the firewood, Uncle Shi, Jiaojiao, you go back first, and I will pick up the bundle of firewood." ”
Shi Guangshan was not at ease, but Ma Xinghua was unimpressed and said, "What is there to worry about?" I can go back to this mountain with my eyes closed, I have been here at night before, you can rest assured that you can go back, I will be fine for a while. ”
Ma Xinghua insisted on it, but Shi Guangshan didn't insist anymore, mainly because he felt that it was unlikely that something would happen, there were no beasts in the back mountains, at most they were long insects, Ma Xinghua was a girl in the mountains, but she was not afraid of long insects.
The other is that he has to drive the sheep back to the shed quickly, or if the sheep are lost after dark, he will have one more charge of destroying collective property!
"Then I'll go first with Jiaojiao, you should hurry up!"
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm bold!" Ma Xinghua didn't care, and her hand didn't stop picking up the firewood.
Shen Jiao didn't care too much, anyway, she would come in a while, and it wouldn't take much time.
Shi Guangshan and Shen Jiao gradually drifted apart, and soon the sound of sheep bleating was inaudible, Sun Maodan spitted pitifully, mother, the little one let her escape, such a tender and beautiful little girl tasted very beautiful.
Forget it, the Ma girl is not bad, it is the best time to eat, and he has to eat well!
Who asked Ma Changan to report him this dog day, Ma Changan, you will be the first year of junior high school, Lao Tzu will be fifteen, and you will ruin your daughter, look at what kind of face you Ma Changan has to go out!
Shen Jiao and Shi Guangshan were separated at the slope, so as not to be seen, and the children on the hillside also returned home, quietly, Shi Guangshan walked very fast, the whip kept waving, and soon went to the livestock shed.
The people on the farm haven't finished work yet, and the farm has been very busy recently, and everyone has been delayed from work, and they can only go home in the dark.
Shen Jiao threw the wormwood in the basket to the ground, and then rushed to the mountain with the empty basket on her back.
At this time, the semi-circular moon had already hung in the sky, faintly, corresponding to the fiery red sunset on the side of the mountain.
"Sister Xinghua, where have you been?"
Shen Jiao rushed to the slope but didn't find any trace of Ma Xinghua, the ground was in a mess, the firewood was scattered, and the wormwood that was originally neatly stacked was also messed up.
Her heart sank, and without thinking about it, she drew her dagger and looked around vigilantly.
