"Mother, what are you doing in Dasun Mountain?" The second child asked curiously.

Wang Xiaoxia glanced at everyone and said, "I remember that there are several medicinal herbs in the place where we dig thorn vines, and I want to go there." ”

"Mother, even if you want to go, it's not this time, your face is so bad, I'll boil you some medicine and rest well." Tutu didn't agree with his mother to go out at this time, his body was already weak, and he would definitely get sick if he went to blow the wind again.

"I don't agree either!"

The other children spoke in unison, and the voice attracted the attention of several adults not far away.

Sun Qingmao walked over with a stick, looked at Jiuzhou's daughter-in-law and said: "You really want to dig up medicine, Ming'er asked Lao Jiu to accompany you, but it will definitely not work today, first, your face is too bad, and second, Lao Jiu and Lei Zi have already gone out." ”

Out?

I wasn't still in the cave just now, I must have been by her.

The second child is very proud to drive away the flies around his mother, but why does he feel weird about the eyes of the eldest brother?

So, she pulled her eldest brother aside and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, should you also approve of the stepmother finding us another stepfather?" ”

Stepfather!

I don't know what my dad will think when he hears this title?

The eldest is a little helpless about the second child's intuition, and his father gives them a completely different feeling from ordinary people, but he can't say it, so he can only find an excuse: "If Uncle Jiu is really good enough, he won't ignore us, but you can think about it, you can also see that my mother is not in good health, and she also needs to be protected." ”

The second child bit her lip, although the eldest brother's words made her feel uncomfortable, but it cannot be denied that her mother did have a problem with her body, and her face was very unsightly every time she got a needle.

With a dark face, she looked at her eldest brother and whispered, "I...... I can't take it. ”

The boss didn't speak again, and after a while, Tutu brought a bowl of boiled medicine to his mother, and after drinking it, her lay down and fell asleep.

In the evening, Sun Jiuzhou and Lei Zi came back, the two baskets on their backs were full, and they poured the contents of the baskets on the ground, and called Tutu over.

The fourth child and He'er also came over, and the fourth child knew some medicinal herbs, so he reached out and picked them out.

Tutu squatted down and began to move, and the medicinal materials in the two back baskets were picked up with only a small half of the back basket.

Even so, Sun Jiuzhou was as happy as a child, although he couldn't dig up ginseng, it was not bad to dig up useful medicinal materials.

"Thank you, Uncle Wine, you are so powerful, you can get so many useful ones back." Tutu looked at Uncle Jiu very happily, he thought that Uncle Jiu must be very talented in medical skills, otherwise he would not have been able to know so many medicinal materials in such a short time.

The second child looked at Uncle Jiu's talent and became depressed, how stupid she was in comparison, so she held a grudge against Uncle Jiu even more.

After getting Tutu's compliment, Sun Jiuzhou planned to take Leizi around tomorrow, although there are fewer and fewer places in the mountains with green forests, there are still them.

Erhu's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to take a serious look at the selected medicinal materials, and the uncle said that he would accompany his sister-in-law in Jiuzhou to Dasun Mountain tomorrow, and see if he could dig some back when the time came?

Tutu saw a lot of weeds, turned around and called his mother: "Mother, come and see, are there any medicinal materials you need?" ”

Wang Xiaoxia had already heard their conversation, and she didn't want to be embarrassed, but when she heard Tutu say this, she was also interested in seeing the talent of the old wine brother.

When she comes over and sees the herbs that have been selected from the half-back basket, it is really amazing to be able to do this, and she rummags through the weeds and finds several more useful herbs, one of which Fluttershy needs. Unfortunately, there are only two plants, and the amount is definitely not enough.

"Mother, is this a new medicinal herb?" Tutu looked curiously at his mother holding the two medicinal herbs in a daze.

"This is the medicine that the little girl needs, but it's too little, Ming'er I want to go to the forest of Dasun Mountain, old wine brother, Erhu, please accompany me on a trip." Wang Xiaoxia still couldn't help but let Lao Jiu accompany them on a trip, after all, she was a rookie now.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning." Sun Jiuzhou was still worried that his daughter-in-law would avoid her, but he didn't expect that it was he who brought up the matter of going out to dig medicine, and he was a little happy in his heart.

"I ......" the second child wanted to say that he was going too, but was stopped by the Wang family first: "Second child, Ming'er, you help clean up the good skin, you have a lot of strength, we can't move it." ”

Wang Xiaoxia knew the second child's thoughts, touched her little head and nodded.

The second child reluctantly agreed, and went into the cave to find a place to sit down.

In the evening, the heavy snowfall, which had been falling for several days, finally stopped.

The next morning, as soon as dawn they went down the mountain, Sun Jiuzhou instructed Lei Zi to take care of the cave, and instructed Butcher Liu a few words, and then put on two baskets on his back, and accompanied his daughter-in-law down the mountain with Erhu.

There are many villagers living at the foot of Dasun Mountain, Wang Xiaoxia does not let Lao Hua and Hua followers follow for fear of scaring people, and the road is slippery, and their speed down the mountain is very slow.

Along the way, Sun Jiuzhou has been carefully following his daughter-in-law.

Erhu stared secretly, and now the blind can see that the old wine brother is interested in Jiuzhou's sister-in-law. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything, if it weren't for the old wine brother and Lei Zi protecting them in the past few days, they, the old and young women and children, might have been gnawed by wolves.

Wang Xiaoxia felt very awkward to be stared at, she wanted to say a few words several times, but when she saw the cautious appearance of others, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Never mind!

Look up and don't look down, pretend to be blind!

She quickened her steps, and when she reached the foot of the mountain, she was not busy going to Xiaosun Mountain, but looked at the forest under the mountain.

The forest was much less green, and it seemed that a lot of grass and trees had frozen to death under the silver. This place can be visited again tomorrow, so let's go to Dasun Mountain first.

After a few people went around Xiaosun Mountain, they came to the foot of Dasun Mountain, where many wooden houses have been built now, and it seems that there are more than a dozen families.

Sun Li was having one person from each household every other day, and the chosen ones patrolled around the wooden hut where they lived every day, shouting at the sight of a wild beast. After two days of stopping, no wolf howls were heard at night, everyone slept well, and their spirits were much better during the day.

Seeing someone walking towards this side from a distance, Sun Leizi, the eldest son of Ming Dong who was patrolling, shouted loudly: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

"Brother Leizi, it's me, Erhu." Erhu stepped forward and said hello.

Hearing that it was Erhu, the others put down the hoe in their hands, Sun Leizi leaned over, and looked at Erhu with two people, so he looked at the two of them.

"This is Jiuzhou's sister-in-law, and my old wine brother, some of us are sick, and Jiuzhou's sister-in-law said that she was going to the mountains to dig medicine." Erhu told the villagers their origins, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

As soon as he heard about digging medicine, Sun Laogen, who was following him, laughed: "Digging medicine, can that mother-in-law still know medicine?" Erhu, don't laugh, is there a treasure hidden on the mountain, if there is, tell us too, and we will look for it. ”
