Chapter 262: The Vicious Female Companion Escapes from the Famine and Farms (13)

Xu Yin simply used the herbs dug up by Chen Mancang and others, boiled two full pots of powder, and distributed them to symptomatic people to drink.

The official also came to ask for a few bowls to go back.

Those who have no symptoms and are not involved in digging herbs can't help but regret it at this time.

When they packed up and continued to hurry, they squeezed to Xu Yin's side and asked flatteringly: "Little brother, let's go dig herbs when we go back, can you make us some soup?" ”

"Yes." Xu Yin nodded.

Willing to put in the work, she is not stingy with a few packets of powder.

What's more, like the herbs they dug up, like Chen Mancang, they helped her light up three illustrated books in one morning.

At this pace, the "Illustrated Guide to Chinese Herbal Medicine" will soon be able to light up the whole book, completely clear the level, and get random skill rewards.

Among them, [Wind Cold Grass] itself is a medicine for the prevention and treatment of wind cold, and it can be used with a few flavors of auxiliary materials after drying. Therefore, even if you drink the cold powder, you will not worry about wind and cold.

I drove for two more days in a row.

During this period, more and more people went to the fields and mountains to dig herbs to exchange decoction with Xu Yin when they were resting.

Xu Yin boils two pots every morning and evening: one pot is still a powder for treating wind, cold, wind, heat and cold, and is given to patients with obvious symptoms; One pot is a Chinese patent medicine that focuses on prevention and improves immunity.

When boiling, the mountain spring water of the Lingxu Sect was added.

Xu is a few bowls of soup medicine cured the cold symptoms of the servants, so that they would not be drowsy and drowsy, and as soon as they were happy, they found a piece of wasteland nearby to resettle the victims: "That's it!" ”

When the victims heard that they did not need to go further to the mountains to open up the wasteland, they cheered happily.

What's even happier is that the imperial court also gave them a batch of relief grains for the victims of the wasteland, although it is an old miscellaneous grain, but it can fill their stomachs! It's just that I heard that the officials said that they would be transported in batches, probably because they were afraid that they would get the grain and run away.

The official headed by the official came over to Xu Yin before returning to hand over the errand: "You kid has some ability!" Hurry up, I'll find an opportunity to say a few words to you in front of the county order. ”

Xu Yin thanked her.

Jiro tugged at her sleeve.

What's wrong? She looked inquiring.

Erlang looked at her with a little hatred for iron and steel, so he simply went on it himself.

He brought a small bag with a few liters of rice in it, and presented it respectfully to the servant.

The official laughed: "Xu Yingying, your little brother is very clever!" But I'm not here to ask you for a reward, I'm just here to say goodbye to you. In the future, if I have a headache and brain fever to find you, don't refuse! ”

Xu Yin came to his senses, and after sending off the servants, he glanced at Erlang with a smile: "You are young, you know a lot!" ”

Erlang pouted: "It's my brother who has too little eyesight!" ”

“……”

Hey! This kid still hates her!

"Speaking of Erlang, you have the potential to mix officialdom, hurry up and find you a gentleman, enlighten you, and teach you to read, right?"

Jiro looked at her in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yin was puzzled, and pouted his head, "Don't like to read?" ”

"Like! I like it! Erlang hurriedly said, "That's it...... It is a good money to study. ”

When his father and mother were alive, they were reluctant to send him to Xiucai's public house for literacy enlightenment, and at that time, two pieces of bacon were required for a year's bundle, which must be more expensive now.

"You don't have to worry about the silver, I have it!" Xu Yin said.

She really has no shortage of gold and silver, and the system warehouse is piled up.

The wasteland where the servants had settled them was at the foot of a firewood mountain.

It's not a rocky mountain to open, and it's not too far from the nearest village, but it's not much better - the yellow mud and sand are mixed with sand and gravel, and it's an inferior place to open.

The victims couldn't help but worry: "Even if such a poor land is opened, how much harvest can be harvested in a year?" After three years, it will be classified as ordinary land, and the tax payment may not be enough. ”

"What then? It's all coming! Do you want to retreat and go back to Tongxing Mansion now? ”

"If you don't open up the wasteland, will you have no relief food? My family is running out of food, what will I eat in the future? ”

"It's pretty much the same in my family. Tongxing Mansion doesn't know if it's raining, if it's still dry, not only will there be no water to drink, but also hungry, so it's better to stay and try, at least wait until the relief food is finished. ”

As soon as they said this, everyone stayed behind and divided their work in frustration.

The middle-aged man took the young offspring to the mountains to cut wood and build a house.

In case of such a heavy rain two days ago, there is no mountain temple here for them to hide, so they have to cover the foothold as soon as possible.

The housewives took the old men and children to enclose the wasteland, pull weeds, and pick up stones.

Because it is an inferior land, the weeds are sparsely grown, and no one has come to open up a large area, and no matter how many people there are, it is enough for the disaster victims.

What's more, most people just want to get relief food and make do with the drought in their hometowns, and they are not willing to make more efforts to open up the wasteland.

Xu Yin took the two children to find a piece of land with a wide field of vision, and proudly said that she wanted this one.

Erlang was a little dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, there are only three people in our family, why do you want to open such a large wasteland?" The ground here is not good. Didn't you say that when Big Brother comes back in the New Year, we will be able to go home? Or let's make do with it and plant some sweet potatoes on an acre of land! ”

Although I always eat sweet potatoes and always fart.

He held back the words in his stomach.

Xu Yin pinched up a handful of yellow soil, and a small handful was mixed with a lot of sand and gravel and sand.

The land was not very good, but she had planted even worse land.

She has all thought of watermelons, potatoes in the sand, and occasionally drought-tolerant crops with corn.

[Ding - there is no land that can't be planted, only people who can't plant!] Cracking the inferior rewards random skills】

[Ding-How can there be no herbs to cure diseases and save people?] Reward energy points 100 per acre of herbs planted]

received two tasks in a row, which made Xu Yin can't help but raise her eyebrows.

Dog system: Is this trying to get her to artificially grow herbs?

It's not impossible!

Xu Yin opened the "Illustrated Guide to Chinese Herbal Medicine", looked at it at a glance, and found four or five kinds of herbs suitable for planting in sandy soil.

Ginseng, fritillary, astragalus, codonopsis......

Just plant them!

With direction, Xu Yin's spirit doubled, and she took the two children and said:

"My sister-in-law has a lot of strength, and she is idle when she is idle, so she doesn't suffer if she opens more. Walk! Let's pick a homestead! Where do you like to stay? Closer to the mountain or closer to the village? ”

Erlang and the third sister were fooled by her words.

In the morning, Chen Mancang took the men of the same village up the mountain to cut down more than a dozen trees and chisel a few baskets of large stones.

It stands to reason that the freshly cut wood can't make a house, but at the moment they have no place to live, so they can only make do with it, which is better than rain.

The temporary dwellings are not so elaborate: stone is used for the foundation, wood is used for beams and columns, and yellow mud is mixed with clay for the walls.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and if it doesn't rain, such a house can be built several times a day.

Chen Mancang specially came over and said to Xu Yin: "Brother Hero, we will build your house for you, have you chosen a good place?" ”

Xu Yin rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll do the foundation myself, you have to help me with the beam in a while." ”

Chen Mancang looked at her white and smooth arms, was stunned, and came back to his senses and said: "You thin arms and thin legs, you don't look like you're doing heavy work, put it on, let's ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Yin scoop up the shovel, quickly dig up the foundation, and after digging, he walked to the side and picked up the big stones that needed to be carried by two people in one basket.

Chen Mancang: "......"

Not dazzling, right?

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and saw that Xu Yin not only carried the stone basket away, but also turned it upside down with one hand, pouring the stone on the dug foundation. It was as if the basket was not filled with stones, but with turnips.

What made his jaw drop even more was that the little brothers of the hero took turns jumping on the big stones, and he saw that the stones were visibly flattened with the naked eye......

"Bang ......"

The hoe in Chen Mancang's hand fell to the ground and almost hit Erlang's instep.

Erlang jumped away in disgust: "Uncle Mancang! Your hoe is off! ”

"Uh-oh." Chen Mancang came back to his senses at this time, and said incredulously, "Good girl! Your brother's strength is too great! It's really unseemly......"

Jiro turned his back and snickered.

It's not his brother, it's his sister-in-law!
