Chapter 6: Saving Lives
Old Madam Cui is still worried about Jiang Zhiluo.
The son's cold and hard temperament finally has a sweet and soft daughter-in-law, but there can't be a little problem.
Moreover, most of the families in the village are poor these days, and it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law.
What's more, their family doesn't even have a house, and the house they live in is still temporarily lent to them by Lizheng.
Most families need a lot of bride price, and some need a tael of silver, because Zhiluo and her mother-in-law are good, thinking that as long as Zhiluo is happy, she doesn't ask for any bride price.
But there should still be a bride price for the fixed family, and Mrs. Cui did her best to give the bride price, although it was a little copper coin, it was also their family's savings.
That was also saved by Mrs. Cui embroidering some sachets and handkerchiefs day and night.
It's just that staying up late also costs money for oil lamps.
It was also because they spent all the money they had hidden on the way to exile, and they also spent a lot of money when their mother and son were sick.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui was also panicked.
Fortunately, the son married his daughter-in-law, and his life was a little rushed.
"Mother, now most of the people in the village are busy in the fields, I will go to the foot of the mountain to see, it will be fine, shout, everyone in the village can hear."
Jiang Zhiluo repeatedly assured Mrs. Cui that she didn't let Mrs. Cui follow, and went out with a basket on her back.
Jiang Zhiluo naturally couldn't take Mrs. Cui with her, she wanted to go into the mountains and get some food.
She had just finished eating, and looked at the jar where the rice grain was placed, and there was only a little multigrain noodles in it, and it would take a few days to eat.
You can't go hungry.
We have to find a way to get food and find a way to make money.
Since he wants to compensate Cui Hejin and be good to him, he naturally has to be good to the mother he cares about.
And she also wants to create a set of silver needles for acupuncture.
If you want to go to the blacksmith to build, the price must not be cheap.
But even if the price is not cheap, she has to build a pair, so that she can help Cui Hejin heal his body.
And she saw that Mrs. Cui was not in good health, and she needed to recuperate.
And with acupuncture silver needles, it is also convenient for her to practice medicine and earn some silver to subsidize her family.
Thinking about these things, Jiang Zhiluo quickly bypassed the villagers in the field and entered the mountains.
Jiang Zhiluo entered the deep mountains, took a deep breath, and began to absorb the rich aura of plants and trees in the mountains and forests.
By absorbing the aura of plants and trees, she can sense the scent of the plants around her.
It's just that now because of the crossing, the wood-based ability has returned to its most primitive state, so the distance she feels is very small.
Even so, Jiang Zhiluo kept going inside, constantly probing, wanting to find something.
"Leek!"
When Jiang Zhiluo saw leeks hidden with grass and trees in a bush, she was stunned.
If she hadn't known that this was a leek, Jiang Zhiluo would have easily thought that this was a clump of weeds.
"It seems that there are no leeks here at all, and no one has ever eaten leeks."
Jiang Zhiluo said to herself, then put down the back basket and dug up all the leeks by the roots.
In the modern age of technology, she would not think about taking leeks as a treasure at all.
But here, scarcity is expensive, because there are no leeks here, so if she can make leeks, can she do some small business?
Thinking of leeks, Zhiluo thought of leek egg cakes, leek egg burritos, and leek egg dumplings and so on.
"Dig up all the leeks and plant them in the yard, so that they will continue to grow and be eaten until summer."
After Jiang Zhiluo was busy, she filled the back basket and planted some leeks in the field of the space.
I was so busy until mid-afternoon, and I didn't find anything else in the mountains.
It's just that seeing that it's not early, Jiang Zhiluo can't go to the mountains anymore, thinking that she should go home early.
"Otherwise, my mother should be worried."
"I don't know if Cui Hejin came back at this time."
As we walked back, the sky was cloudy, and soon a light rain began to fall.
Jiang Zhiluo shuttled through the mountains and forests, and soon her body was covered with rain, and her clothes were a little soaked.
In rainy weather, the mountains and forests are very difficult to walk.
It was also her who went deep into the mountains and forests, so she walked for a while before coming out.
By the time she came out, it was already dark, and from a distance, there was no one in the fields at the foot of the mountain, and smoke was wafting from the houses of the villages.
Looking at this hazy scenery of smoke and rain, Jiang Zhiluo's heart became calm and soft.
But when he came out of the mountain, he saw an unconscious man lying on his stomach on the bank of the river.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't want to meddle in things, but suddenly she thought of last night's dream, she thought about it, and felt that this person still had to be saved.
She paused, walked over and turned the person over, and then pressed her heart to give first aid, and injected a wood force into her heart.
"Ahem......"
