"Engong, this is what you deserve!"

He Lanhua's father, that is, He Changxing, who came to Xu Yin with a thank you gift a few days ago, said.

When it was over, she asked her mother-in-law to take the two children out to kowtow to Xu Yin.

If it weren't for Xu Engong, these two children wouldn't know where they would be sold and where they would be.

Xu Yin hurriedly stopped Father He and directly expressed his intention: "I came to ask for something to ask your family." ”

"Eun Gong, please speak."

"I want to buy a batch of herbs, no matter what kind of herbs, as long as they are herbs, I will accept them. Your family lives in the mountains, do you know a lot about herbal medicine? ”

Hearing that it was a herb, He Changxing breathed a sigh of relief: "The children in the family go up the mountain every day, and when they encounter some herbs that are in good condition, they will pick some back, but they are all common, and we don't know the uncommon ones." Orchid, you go and get the herbs out. ”

Waiting for He Lanhua to move out the flat basket with herbs to dry, He Changxing asked Xu Yin: "Engong, that's all there is to you at home, do you see what you need?" ”

Xu Yin glanced at it and saw that there were a few plants she didn't know, and she was about to ask Father He when she picked them up, so she heard the two sounds of [ding] [ding], and the "Illustrated Guide to Chinese Herbal Medicine" lit up these two herbs in a row-

[Nine dragon vine]: bitter, peaceful, non-toxic; It has the effect of dispelling wind, removing stasis and relieving pain; It can treat rheumatism, bone pain, bruises.

[Five-spice blood vine]: warm in nature, sweet in taste; It has the effect of relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, dehumidifying, reducing swelling and analgesia; It can treat rheumatic pain.

As a result, there are only six herbs left in the "Illustrated Guide to Chinese Herbal Medicine" that have not been lit.

Xu Yin's confidence increased suddenly.

"Uncle, according to your family's original model, when you encounter common and uncommon herbs, you will help me pick them, and I will buy them at three times the price of the herb shop." Xu Yin said boldly.

"No, no, no." He Changxing was willing to accept the money, "It's just a matter of the way, don't let the engong see outside!" ”

Xu Yin didn't say anything more.

Anyway, she doesn't like to take advantage of others, so when they send herbs, let's look at it.

After negotiating this matter, he divided the return gift to the two families, and the trip ended successfully.

That night, I stayed at He's house, and the next day I had a very local breakfast before leaving home.

Unexpectedly, before going back, the three sons of the He family had already returned from the mountain, picked back a basket of fresh herbs that were still dripping with dewdrops, and also gave her two pheasants caught in the trap.

Xu Yin stuffed a silver ingot to He Changxing.

"I can't help it!" He Changxing tried his best to refuse.

"If you don't accept it, then I won't take this herb with me."

"This ......"

"I'm in business for a long time, not once or twice." Xu Yin said, "Not only the two of you, but other families can also pick herbs and send them to me if they are willing." ”

The He family watched her leave with a grateful face.

The youngest son of the He family carried a basket of herbs and a pheasant to the foot of the mountain, if Xu Yin hadn't insisted on pushing the cart by himself, he would have wanted to send her all the way home.

When passing by Pingao Village, Xu Yin gave her eldest son a pheasant: "Thank you Brother Fang for leading the way!" ”

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Xu Yin pushed the cart and walked away.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with so many herbs?"

Without outsiders, Erlang couldn't hold back the doubts that had been in his heart for a long time.

"Herbs can cure diseases and save people!" Xu Yin didn't mention the "Illustrated Guide to Chinese Herbal Medicine", but nothing else was a lie, "Look at our there, there is no doctor, who has a headache and brain fever, it is not easy to go to the hospital, not to mention that the hospital is expensive." The people who live with us are all people who fled the famine and came here, do you think you can afford to go to the hospital? Although I haven't studied medicine, I still have a little research on herbal medicine, and for simple conditions, grab some herbal decoction, which is not only convenient for spending money. You see, these herbs are all ready-made in the mountains, and in the future, I will cultivate some uncommon herbs, dry them and stock them up, and seek medical treatment everywhere in the province, right? ”

Erlang seemed to understand and nodded: "Sister-in-law, can I learn from you?" After I do, you don't have to work so hard. ”

"Yes! But you have to be literate first. Speaking of literacy, Xu Yin patted her forehead, "I forgot to ask the chief about the private school." ”

However, even if there is a private school in Pingao Village, it seems inconvenient for Erlang to go there to study, it is too far. If you spend the night, you feel too much to bother.

After thinking about it, Xu Yin said: "Forget it, sister-in-law will enlighten you!" Make do with it. ”

When she got home, she put it on the agenda.

In view of the fact that the land is to be planted during the day, and the lights are blind at night, and the candles hurt the eyes, the enlightenment time is divided into three periods:

A three-character scripture every day.

Before breakfast, Xu Yin taught them to read and write;

During the lunch break, explain the meaning of this sentence to them and read it to her.

In the evening, I read it several times in the glorious sunset until it is catchy and I can recite it.

The saint is three provinces a day, and the children of poor families read three times a day. No way, the rest of the time has to work.

Xu Yin felt that if the two children could persevere, their literacy would definitely make great progress. It's not bad for enlightenment to have this effect.

Wait for the beginning of spring next year, after Li Dalang goes home, let him find a serious teacher for Erlang.

Erlang thought at first that Xu Yin didn't recognize many words, so he said "make do", and when he got enlightened, he was stunned......

"Wow! Sister-in-law, do you recognize a lot of words? ”

"Wow! Sister-in-law, do you recognize all the words in this book? ”

"Sister-in-law, you are better than Mr. Storyteller!"

"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing! I think you can go for the top prize! ”

The third sister looked at her second brother's exaggerated expression, revealing two small shell teeth and giggling.

Xu Yin: "......"

Is the uncrowned actor going to become the leader of the group?

……

Summer is coming to an end, and it's a little cool in the morning and evening.

Xu Yin took out the fine linen she had bought before, took a spare time, and made loose autumn clothes for the two children, and let them cover them in the first and evening clothes, so as not to catch a cold.

"Sister-in-law, why is there a rope here in the trouser leg? Dogs don't have that with their trouser legs. ”

When Jiro put it on, he was curious about the trouser leg of the drawstring.

Xu Yin showed him: "When you go up the mountain and down the ground, you tighten the rope so that the trouser legs are not loose, the insects will not get in, and it is not easy to scratch the dirty." ”

"That's right!" Erlang nodded in a conscious way, and then happily ran to find his friends to show off.

Xu Yin used a rag to tie a bow for the third sister and put it on the head of the bag.

The third sister was jumping in the sun, as if there were two big butterflies on her head.

It's so easy for children in this era to be satisfied!

Not only children, but also adults.

Xu Yin can occasionally go to the mountain to soak in a hot spring, and she feels so satisfied.

It may be because it is not easy to come by, and it is precious.

Early that morning, while the two children were still asleep, she put the rice porridge on the pot and carried a bamboo basket up the mountain.

Go straight over the mountain and go to the hot spring lake discovered by Shi Fengnian and others to take a bath.
