Returned to the village and rested for a few days.

Tang Banxia approached Captain Hu.

Captain Hu already knew her purpose. After seeing her, he took out a blank letter of introduction: "Xiao Tang educated youth, this is what you want."

There was only a stamp on it, indicating one month of personal leave, but the date was not filled in, waiting for Tang Banxia to fill it in by himself.

"Thank you, Uncle Hu." Tang Banxia picked it up and put it away properly.

Captain Hu waved his hand, "I should thank you."

In the past few days, he visited several households building dams, and without exception, they all spoke highly of Tang Zhiqing Yishui.

That's why he was so happy to help.

You know, this time I wrote a letter of introduction to Tang Banxia not to go back to his hometown, but to a border town. He worked hard to facilitate this matter. If there was any eventuality, he would have to take the risk.

"Little Tang Educated Youth, I have to give you a few words." Captain Hu took a sip of hot water and said, "I have bought you a month, and you must come back within a month, otherwise we will both be in trouble. trouble."

Tang Banxia nodded: "I know."

"One more thing, when you arrive in Jiangcheng, you have to go and say hello to the Educated Youth Office over there." Captain Hu said.

"Okay, I will." Tang Banxia agreed.

Hu Dashan thought about it again and decided that he had nothing more to say, so he let Tang Banxia leave.

After leaving the brigade headquarters, Tang Banxia did not go home. Instead, he went to Hu Dashan's home.

"Sister-in-law Hu, are you at home?"

"Here you are, here you are." Sister-in-law Hu opened the curtain and came out: "I was just thinking about when you would come. I couldn't help but think about it."

Tang Banxia smiled lightly: "Isn't this coming? Sister-in-law, I asked you to do that?"

"It's done." Sister-in-law Hu dragged the person in, took out a package from the cabinet, and unfolded it in front of Tang Banxia: "Take a look, do you like it?"

Inside the package was a light yellow goatskin and a pure black wolfskin.

Both leathers are tanned, the sheepskin is thicker, and the wool is slightly curly, but soft to the touch.

The wolf skin was a little prickly, but the fur was smooth and good leather to keep warm. Tang Banxia rubbed it with love beyond words.

"I got it, no matter how I didn't get it, these are the best leathers. Thank you, Sister-in-law Hu." Tang Banxia said sincerely.

Just from the quality of the leather, you can tell that Mrs. Hu put her heart into it.

Tang Banxia was polite and courteous, and Sister-in-law Hu felt comfortable. She smiled brightly and waved her hand: "Why are you so polite? You have helped me so much."

After a while of kissing each other, we got to the point.

"How will Sister-in-law Hu change this leather? Money or tickets?" Tang Banxia asked.

Sister-in-law Hu hesitated.

Tang Banxia took this into consideration and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have any requests, feel free to ask."

"I won't follow you for those nonsense." Sister-in-law Hu sat on the edge of the kang, "Panxia, ​​I heard from my brother-in-law that you have a medicinal powder that can attract prey in the mountains?"

When she said this, Tang Banxia understood, "Yes."

"You want to exchange it for animal attracting powder?"

Sister-in-law Hu nodded: "Xiao Tang, you don't know, my mother's family is deep in the mountains."

"There is little land in the mountains and we cannot grow much food. My entire village relies on hunting for a living."

"But those beasts have become spirits. How can they be so easy to hunt? My mother's entire village doesn't have enough to eat every year. I fell in love with your beast-attracting powder as soon as I heard it."

"I know that the things in your doctor's hands are valuable, and I'm not greedy. Can you exchange these two pieces of leather for a small jar of animal attracting powder?"

"Just a small jar like frostbite ointment."

Sister-in-law Hu looked at Tang Banxia anxiously.

In recent years, the prey in the mountains have become more and more cunning, and her family's entire village has become miserable.

Tang Banxia frowned and thought. Now that she had taken out the animal attracting powder, she had no intention of hiding it. She just said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to."

"Listen to me, this animal attracting powder can attract prey, but your parents' home is deep in the mountains. I'm afraid something will happen if it attracts something big."

You know, when she and her grandma were doing experiments in the previous life, Blind Bear would be attracted by the smell of animal attracting powder.

Hearing what Tang Banxia said, Sister-in-law Hu also frowned, but she still said: "That's just right. If I hunt a blind bear, my whole village will be saved for a year."

Tang Banxia looked at her, are you serious?

Sister-in-law Hu was very determined.

So Tang Banxia relaxed: "Okay, I'll go home and get you medicine later."

"You don't need to exchange two pieces of leather for one can, just exchange one piece of leather for one can."

"There are some medicinal materials in the animal attracting powder, which are really precious, so..."

If it weren't for Lu Xun's mysterious drugstore, she would not have been able to get it together on her own.

Sister-in-law Hu understood: "I understand, it would be good to have two cans."

The most indispensable thing for her family is skins. Once they have the animal attracting powder, they will have more skins.

After the deal was negotiated, Tang Banxia returned home holding two pieces of leather.

After arriving home, he took out a large glass jar of animal attracting powder, packed it into two bamboo tubes, sealed the openings, and sent them to Mrs. Hu.

She put the leathers she had exchanged with the cotton-padded jackets and trousers she made for Tang's father and Tang's mother, packed them up, and put them aside.

In the following days, she concentrated on preparing food for the journey.

It's a long way to Jiangcheng. We don't know what will happen on the way, so it's better to be prepared.

She braised a pot of eggs and put them in a brown paper bag and sealed it.

I baked some vegetable pancakes, some meaty and some vegetarian. You can bake them with hot water on the train and eat them.

I also steamed a pot of brown sugar cake, which looked numb and tasted almost like cake, soft, waxy and sweet.

In addition to eating, she also packed some medicinal materials and took them with her.

Tang’s father and Tang’s mother were sent to the decentralized government. They had suffered a lot and didn’t know how their bodies were doing. They brought medicinal materials with them so that if anything happened, she could be treated in time.

In addition, it was Wen Mubai's. She gave Wen Mubai the medicine to treat stomach problems, just in case, she had prepared it for two months.

There are also finished medicinal powders such as chilblain ointment and animal powder. I also bring some in case I need them in case of emergencies.

The rest was what she and Wen Mubai needed for their lives.

There were a lot of things, including two rattan boxes, a backpack, and a large package.

Seeing the things placed on the ground, Tang Banxia raised his forehead.

But these things are indispensable, and the road will have to be harder.

However, what she never expected was that Wen Mubai also prepared a basket full of things.

Tang Banxia looked at the surprise grains inside, including chestnuts, walnuts and other mountain products. The most eye-catching thing was the large piece of bacon, "Where did you get all this?"

"Didn't the stall in the next village stop?"

Thanks to the Ma Wu brothers and the county public security bureau some time ago, they directly carried out a large-scale sweep of the entire jurisdiction. The village next door received the news early and suspended the sale.

"But I still have the tickets for the reward from the director last time." Wen Mubai looked innocent.

Tang Banxia: You were careless!

I forgot to take the money note out of this kid's hand.

"How much is left?"

Wen Mubai dug into his pocket and said, "No, it's all spent."

Tang Banxia: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry!

"You bought these things for forty yuan?" I couldn't help but raise my voice.

Unexpectedly, Wen Mubai asked confidently: "How could it be?"

"I asked Brother Gang to buy me a train ticket with the remaining money. He has the connections to buy a hard sleeper."

The road to Jiangcheng is so long, and it's scary to think about having to sit there all the way.

OK, I think he is reliable.

Tang Banxia withdrew a fist.

Wen Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. He had a hunch that if he really nodded just now, his wife would kill him.
