Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

As soon as Zeng Zhengen put a plate of venison on the table, the three little guys surrounded him impatiently.

"Mom, can we eat now?" Zhang Jiahu asked expectantly. His mouth was already watering at the aroma.

Zeng Zhengen smiled and served each child a bowl of white rice, then said, "It's time to eat, eat quickly!"

Zhang Jiahu quickly finished a bowl of rice, and quickly added two more bowls. While eating, he praised: "Mom, this venison is so delicious!"

Looking at his round belly, Zeng Zhengen couldn't help laughing, pinched his cheeks, and said with a smile: "If you like it, mother will make it for you tonight."

"Great! Mom is the best!" Zhang Jiahu jumped up with joy, his face full of satisfaction.

Zhang Jiajun, who was standing by, looked at this silly brother, shook his head, and couldn't help but complain: "It's really shameless."

After lunch, the team set out again. Perhaps because they had eaten meat at noon, everyone had enough fat in their stomachs, so no one complained of being tired when they were on the road in the afternoon.

As the sun gradually set, the team finally stopped in front of a cave, and Pan Yang waved his hand to signal everyone to rest.

After the team stopped, the elderly, the weak, women and children rested on the spot, and Pan Yang took a few strong laborers to check the situation in the cave. After confirming that there was no danger in the cave, Pan Yang allowed everyone to enter the cave.

The cave was spacious and could accommodate more than 300 people from the village. After entering the cave, everyone cleaned up and found a suitable place to put their belongings. The women and children collected firewood at the entrance of the cave, while the men looked for water sources around.

After Zeng Zhengen put away his things, he took a few children to collect firewood near the cave entrance and dug some herbs. They would spend the night in the mountains, so they needed to prepare some insect repellent herbs.

Zeng Zhengen had served as a military doctor in her previous life and had learned some knowledge of Chinese medicine, so she had some understanding of herbs. She skillfully dug up various herbs.

"Mom, why are you digging these weeds?" Zhang Jiaqi asked puzzledly when he saw Zeng Zhengen busying around.

Zeng Zheng smiled and explained: "These are not ordinary weeds, but medicinal herbs that can be used to treat diseases."

Zhang Jiaqi asked in disbelief, "Mom, are these really herbs?"

Zeng Zhengen nodded and explained: "Yes, this is Seven-leafed One-branched Flower, this is Artemisia selengensis, and this is Glehnia littoralis..."

She introduced the herbs she collected one by one. Zhang Jiahu looked at Zeng Zhengen with admiration and exclaimed: "Wow, mother, you are amazing. You know so many herbs."

The other two kids also looked at her with admiration, and Zeng Zhengen felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Okay, let's go back to the cave and prepare dinner!" Zeng Zhengen urged the boys.

After returning to the cave, Zeng Zhengen first set up the pot, steamed a pot of rice, and then fried a large plate of venison. She fried another large plate of the venison left over from the morning so that everyone could eat more.

The other villagers also prepared dinner one after another. The villagers who had gone out to find water sources also returned to the cave. Only a few people had not returned yet. After Zeng Zhengen prepared the meal, he served a large bowl of white rice to each of the kids, and they ate it very contentedly.

However, at this moment, several villagers ran back in panic.

"Oh no, the soldier was bitten by a poisonous snake!" Their words made everyone's faces instantly become solemn.

Being bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains, there was no doctor, and the situation was very dangerous. Pan Yang's face was gloomy, and he immediately walked out of the cave and asked those people about the situation.

"Where are the people? Where is the soldier now? Did you see clearly what kind of snake it was?" Pan Yang asked anxiously.

Several people shook their heads: "Pan Yang, we searched separately. Da Bing went to find water alone. When we found him, he was already unconscious, so we hurried back to report the news."

When the soldier's wife heard that her husband was unconscious, she couldn't stop crying: "Pan Yang, please find a way to save my husband!"

Seeing this, Pan Yang became even more anxious. Facing the pleading of the soldier's wife, he immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to save the soldier."

After comforting the soldier's wife, Pan Yang turned to the villagers and said, "Let's carry the man back first."

Just as they were about to leave, Zeng Zhengen came out of the cave and said, "Pan Yang, I want to go with you."

She used to be a military doctor and had a strong sense of responsibility to save lives. Now that someone was in danger, she naturally could not stand idly by.

Pan Yang was going to refuse, but considering the herbs Zeng Zhengen had collected before, he finally nodded and agreed to her request.

The place where the soldier fainted was not far from the cave, and several people quickly found him. There were two villagers waiting at the scene. When they saw Pan Yang coming, they rushed forward as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

"How is the person?" Pan Yang asked anxiously.

"Pan Yang, the soldier has fallen unconscious. His legs are badly swollen and we have tied them up tightly with cloth strips." The two men reported anxiously.

Pan Yang checked the injury and found that the soldier's leg was severely swollen and the area around the wound had turned black, which seemed to be a sign of a venomous snake bite.

"Oh..." Pan Yang sighed helplessly. Obviously the situation was much more serious than they had expected and there was little hope of recovery.

"Let's carry the soldier back first," Pan Yang said, his eyes full of helplessness. He wanted to at least let the family see him for the last time.

Several villagers bent down and prepared to lift the soldier, but Zeng Zhengen hurriedly stopped them: "Wait a minute, don't move, let me take a look."

Several people stopped what they were doing, looked at her in confusion, then turned their gaze to Pan Yang, waiting for his instructions.

Zeng Zhengen didn't have time to explain. She quickly stepped forward and tore open the soldier's trouser legs. She pretended to take out a knife from her sleeve and quickly cut open the wound on Dazhuang's leg to squeeze out the poisonous blood. After the blood turned from black to red, she stopped and crushed the herbs she had dug before and applied them to the wound.

When Zeng Zhengen stopped what she was doing, they looked at her as if awakened.

"Girl Zeng, can we save the soldiers in this way?" Pan Yang asked in surprise.
