The next mountain road became more and more difficult.

Although I have tried to avoid the scorching sun when I am in a hurry, in the end, it is a scorching summer, and this summer still ruthlessly consumes the water and physical strength in people's bodies.

The number of people who fell ill gradually increased, and most of them were elderly people.

If it weren't for the previous rain and the replenishment of drinking water, I am afraid that more people would have fallen ill.

Even though there is a heat-relieving herbal tea boiled by Qiao Huaping, this heat-relieving herbal tea can only treat heat syndrome, and it is powerless for the weakness caused by physical loss.

The speed of the journey has slowed down.

Fortunately, Qiao Huaping dug up a rare detoxification herb - frost alkali flower.

After she carefully transplanted the whole plant and the whole beard of the frost alkali flower into the space, the water droplets condensed on the stalactites snapped and dripped into the stone bowl.

When Qiao Huaping was boiling herbal tea to relieve the heat, he took advantage of the unpreparedness and added the water droplets condensed on the stalactite.

It's not that it's not her virgin, it's just that most of the villagers in Liujin Village are simple and good people, and if you get closer, the villagers are in good health and can travel faster; In the distance, on this road to escape from the military disaster, it is much safer for more good people to take care of each other than for their family to fight alone.

This cauldron of herbal tea to relieve the heat is very strictly controlled by Qiao Hua, and strives to drink it for everyone who is sick.

Because this drop of spiritual water is diluted in a whole pot of herbal tea, it is distributed to each patient, and there are many people who are sick, and it is distributed to each patient, which is about a small bowl. Qiao Huaping observed from the side, the effect of washing tendons and removing the marrow may not be very sufficient, but the effect of alleviating the symptoms and enhancing the physique is still quite obvious.

When it was time to go in the afternoon, the sick people were much better.

Zhu Xiangyi was a little incredulous, and gave them a pulse check, and found that these old people, who were originally weak in pulse, were in a lot better.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xiangyi felt that it must be Qiao Huaping's herbal tea that had an effect.

When the whole village stopped for renovation at dusk, Zhu Xiangyi went to the village chief and told the village chief that the Qiao family sister had four children alone, and she had to take care of the children, and she had to brave the sun to collect herbs and make heatstroke medicine tea for the villagers, which was really hard.

Forget it before, just think of the Qiao family's sister as a contribution to the village. But you can't take advantage of the Qiao family's sisters every time and again, it's better to start from this time and let the people in the village pay more or less money to give the Qiao family's sisters hard money.

The village chief's family also has an old lady, and his wife is also uncomfortably hot because of the scorching heat, so she sits on the cart and lets the men in the family push her.

As a result, at noon, his wife drank a small bowl of herbal tea sent by the Mei family, and it didn't take long for him to clearly see that he had a spiritual head, and he began to teach people with full of energy that afternoon, and he could even walk with a cane for a while.

The village chief was grateful to Qiao Huaping in his heart, and immediately slapped the board: the people who had drunk the herbal tea boiled by the Qiao family's sister before contributed two cents per person, which was regarded as a thank you for their hard work.

Two pennies is not much, and if it is left before, it is that it costs three pennies to buy a bowl of mediocre herbal tea when it is hot in the county.

In addition, the tea of Qiao Huaping is not empty, and it is full of effect after drinking it, and it can relieve the heat and refresh the mind. The vast majority of people felt that the two pennies were worth it, and they happily paid the money to the village chief.

There are also a few people, such as Zhou Xu's, she is not very happy, muttering there: "How much effort can it take to boil a pot of water?" I didn't say that I would collect money before, but Qiao brought it by herself, why did she have to give her two pennies? ”

The village chief glared at her: "The Qiao family does things with conscience, and they don't say that they collect money, but we can't lose our conscience, you know?" ”

Because it was the village chief who came to collect it, and Zhou Xu's family was not good at not giving it, she pursed her lips and glared at her son Zhou Heishi: "That water is for your useless daughter-in-law to drink, you pay for it!" ”

Zhou Heishi's face was full of embarrassment: "Mother, all the money I earn is for you to manage, where does I get the money?" ”

Zhou Xu's voice became sharp: "Your daughter-in-law must have hidden private money, let her pay for it!" ”

Song Yuelan has been in a little bad health since she rolled down the hill and kowtowed, and this time she caught up with the scorching heat, so she naturally fell ill, so Qiao Huaping also brought a bowl of herbal tea.

After drinking herbal tea, Song Yuelan felt that she had some strength all over her, and her heart was full of gratitude to Qiao Huaping.

Zhou Xu asked her for money, and Song Yuelan only lowered her head: "Mother, where do you speak, all the money in the family is in your hands, and where does the daughter-in-law have spare money." ”

Zhou Xu's family was strict with the money and did not allow his sons to have any private property. Sometimes Zhou Heishi was busy with the spare time to do a hard job of moving bricks and lifting wood to earn a few pennies, and Zhou Xu's family had to collect it all.

The village chief has to continue to collect money, where is he willing to listen to the Zhou family's entangled housework. He said impatiently: "Okay, Sister Xu, do you want to give it or not?" Everyone else's family has given it, and if your family even wants to pay these two pennies, then I have nothing to say. ”

His tone was heavier.

Zhou Xu took care of his face, so he could only pay for it himself.

The village chief took the money and left, and Zhou Xu began to scold Song Yuelan again, thinking that she was a loser, she had married into their old Zhou family for so many years, and she only gave birth to a money-losing goods, not to mention, and now she has to pay for medical treatment, which is a useless waste.

Song Yuelan looked into the distance with empty eyes, and let Zhou Xu scold.

The village chief collected a total of sixty-eight yuan, and he didn't give it all to Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping was quite surprised by this money, but she didn't twist it, she did pay hard work.

If people are willing to give money, then she will take it.

Qiao Huaping accepted it generously and said with a smile: "There is Village Chief Lao." ”

Qiao Huaping put away the sixty-eight copper plates closely.

It's too difficult, she was a poor person who only had five cents left on her body before!

Now, she has a full seventy-three copper plates!

Qiao Huaping has a feeling of getting rich overnight!

She was in a very good mood, and when she was cooking at night, she broke a small piece of Ganoderma lucidum and threw it into the wild mushroom soup.

With the wild mushroom soup, she kneaded the noodles with the last bit of noodles, pulled the noodles, and put them in the wild mushroom soup soup to make a pot of extremely delicious mushroom soup noodles.

The four children were snoring and snoring.

Looking at the four cubs who have been raised for the past few days, and gradually have some meat on their faces, Qiao Huaping is full of a sense of accomplishment.

Only the second Mei Qingyu, after eating, looked at the empty bowl, and her face was rarely a little sad.

Qiao Huaping, as a good stepmother in the new era who not only cares about the health of the cubs, but also cares about the health of the cubs at home, keenly noticed the sadness on Mei Qingyu's face.

She asked with concern: "Yuyu, what's wrong?" ”
