Chapter 8 Collecting Medicine
At night, Ning'er took care of the child at home, and was also adjusting her pills, thinking that tomorrow she would go up the mountain to find a few herbs to make up for Ah Ping's body, the child was born with some deficiencies, and he had to take care of the cold, so Ah Zheng didn't go to school tomorrow, so let him watch Ah Ping. If you let others know that Ning'er threw such a young child to a five-year-old child like this, I don't know what kind of expression it will be, but the husband is not worried, after all, Ning'er took care of Ning'er before she sobered up.
Besides, Shen Yanling, according to her father's instructions, went to see her father at night.
Sure enough, as soon as his father came, he asked about Ah Ping, and Shen Yanling answered honestly, and saw Shen's father with a calm face, his brows furrowed deeply, and he sighed for a long time: "You are really as kind-hearted as your mother, Ning'er is like this, and the child is also like this, thanks to me taking you out, otherwise you will let those people gnaw clean sooner or later." ”
Shen Yanling looked up at his father, this was the first time his father mentioned his mother in front of him, he wanted to ask further, but he couldn't bear to ask more questions when he looked at his father's expression, and Shen's father only mentioned this, so he changed the topic and asked if there was anything on the child that showed his identity. Shen Yanling handed the gold medal to his father, he didn't recognize this token, he only guessed that it was not something that ordinary people could use, after all, it was a dragon pattern.
Father Shen took the gold medal and looked at it again, and was slightly surprised when he saw that there was no word on the back, and he wrung his eyebrows without saying a word, as if to confirm Shen Yanling's guess. For a long time, Shen's father sighed, and he didn't say anything, but only asked Shen Yanling to take care of the child, which made Shen Yanling very suspicious that his father knew this token, but his father didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask. At the end, Father Shen asked about Ning'er, and Ning'er was really clear and very relieved. However, when Shen Yanling was about to turn around and leave, her father asked, "This child may cause you a lot of trouble, will you regret picking him up?"
Shen Yanling's figure stagnated slightly, and she said as if self-deprecating: "Me and Ning'er, how much better can we be than him? Let's take one step at a time!"
Father Shen looked at the back of Shen Yanling leaving, and felt a little relieved, after all, Shen Yanling was still a transparent person, and he had somewhat guessed that he was from an extraordinary background. When Shen Yanling walked away, Shen's father took out a gold medal that was the same as in Shen Yanling's hand, but the back was engraved with two words "Lingze".
When Shen Yanling returned home, Ning Er was still grinding medicine, the two children had already slept, and the room was filled with a light fragrance of medicine. The herbs are all picked by Ning'er from the mountain, the herbs in this mountain are quite complete, Ning'er not only makes some spare pills, but also makes a lot of medicinal materials for simple processing and plans to sell them to the pharmacy in the future, and can also subsidize the family a little.
Seeing Shen Yanling coming back, Ning'er asked about her father's statement, and Shen Yanling didn't hide anything from Ning'er, she told the truth. Ning Er smiled, let's live a low-key life, those high-ranking nobles shouldn't notice a small people like them. It was late, so I packed up and went to sleep.
On weekdays, Ah Zheng sleeps with the husband and wife, but it is not too crowded, but today there is such a milk doll, which cannot be touched, and the originally spacious bed immediately seems narrow. Shen Yanling sighed, "It seems that we have to hurry up and make another bed, Ah Zheng is too big, and it doesn't look good to be with us." ”
Ning'er agreed with Shen Yanling's statement, so she decided to start doing it tomorrow, although you are not allowed to go into the mountains to cut wood in the spring, but fortunately, there are good planks at home.
The next day, the weather was fine. After breakfast, Shen Yanling found out the plank at home, and prepared to make a new bed in the yard, Ning'er fed Ah Ping to eat, and then asked Ah Zheng to take care of Ah Ping at home, and Shen Yanling was at home, so naturally there was no hindrance, so Ning Er carried the medicine basket on her back and took the medicine hoe and went up the mountain. Ah Zheng followed Ning Er up the mountain to collect medicine a few times, but he was not interested in medical skills, he was purely playful, and he was also making trouble today, and he was glared at by Shen Yanling and honestly stayed at home to take care of his younger brother, and then looked at Ah Ping, who was staring at him with a pair of big watery eyes, well, for the sake of having new toys, he didn't care about teaching.
Shen Yanling glanced at her son, understood his little caution, and said lightly: "I will go to school tomorrow, and I will review the Three Character Sutra today." ”
Ah Zheng looked at his father's face, and he was unhappy and didn't dare to object, so he had to go back to the house and get the books, sit down by Ah Ping's cradle, and take care of his younger brother while studying.
Ning Er carried the basket on her back and went up the mountain, so she went to look for medicinal materials according to the familiar drug habits. In the past few days, Ning Er has almost completely adapted to this body, and her martial arts can naturally be applied freely, so it is not difficult to go up the mountain. What Ning'er was looking for was not a rare medicinal material, but it was relatively scattered, but fortunately, the time was not tight, Ning'er looked for it slowly, picked some wild vegetables by the way, and prepared to go back to make wild vegetable balls for Ah Zheng and them to eat.
When the sun was in the west, Ning Er saw that all the medicinal materials needed had been collected, so he prepared to go down the mountain. It's still early, Ning Er carried the medicine basket on her back, walking in the jungle, thinking that if she encountered any prey, she could also fight back to improve the food, as for the beast or something, Ning Er was not worried, according to Shen Yanling, Ning Er's martial arts were a complete piece of cake to deal with the beasts in the mountains, especially light skills, even Shen Yanling was not as good as hers.
Along the way, I didn't see any prey, and Ning'er didn't care, those extra things, it was good to encounter them, and it didn't matter if they didn't meet them. But when Ning'er was about to walk out of the forest and get home again, she heard someone calling for help, and she was still from the village. Ning Er frowned, but decided to go over and take a look, most of the people in the village could help.
Ning Er followed the sound and rushed over, and found that it was the second nephew of Shen Yanling's second brother's family who called for help, and a wild boar was pounced on him, and he was about to be pounced. The medicine hoe infused with internal force hit the head of the wild boar, and the wild boar that had just been strong immediately fell to death, and the ragged young man was still frightened.
Ning'er walked over, pulled her nephew up from the ground, carefully examined his body, and took herbs from the basket to stop bleeding and put it on him. "Yes, Aunt Three?" he asked, staring at Ning'er's face.
Ning Er looked at the young man in front of her, although Ning Er was not very sober in the past, most of the people in the village recognized it clearly, and the one in front of her was the second brother of the second brother's family, named Xia Lin. Shen Yanling's stepmother's ex-husband's surname was Xia, and the two sons born to her were named Xia Shan Xia He, and after remarrying Shen's father, she did not change her surname. In addition to farming, the eldest Xia Shan also went up the mountain to chop firewood, the sister-in-law was a little mean but hard-working, the family was good, there were three children, Ning Er was not impressed, I only remember that there was a daughter named Xia Xue, I don't know why I always looked at Ning Er unpleasantly. The second family is not as good as the old family, Xia He is lazy to do, and the second sister-in-law is a family that does not care about the family, always thinking about taking advantage of others, there are four children in the family, the eldest is his father, he can be lazy, the third and fourth are still young, almost since Xia Lin was ten years old, the family has relied on Xia Lin to feed, Xia Lin is the best among the four children, he does not talk much and is hardworking, Ning Er has a good impression of him.
Ning Er treated his wound briefly, and then asked him what was going on, he would provoke such a big wild boar. Xia Lin replied: "I went up the mountain today, I wanted to catch some game and subsidize the family, how dare I deal with such a fierce wild boar, but when I shot the hare, I missed it, injured it, and provoked it to retaliate." ”
Ning Er glanced at the wild boar, and sure enough, a bamboo arrow was stuck in her back. The wild boar was very big, and the two of them couldn't carry it back, so Ning Er thought that it was not far from the village, so she stayed and watched, and asked Xia Lin to go down the mountain and call someone to help.
