Village Flowers and Female Scholars

The next day, the rain didn't stop, but it was a little lighter, because the weather didn't clear up, and the family didn't have any extra space to grind and dry the rice. Granny Cao's sharp abuse was heard by half the village.

Cao E went to see Mrs. Cao early in the morning and said that one of the two children had just woken up and was very weak. She begged her to take a few copper coins to buy medicine, but she was rejected as expected.

The old lady Cao cursed and said: "I'll just lie down for two days and I'll be fine. What medicine do I need to buy? If the family has this money, I can't help the old man take care of his body first."

When Cao E returned to the firewood room, her frustrated expression showed that she had failed this time.

Xie Yan had long thought that this would be the result, and she struggled to get up.

"Since my grandmother said that there is no money at home, let me go up the mountain to pick some herbs for brother. I told her that Gu'er is still awake. If she doesn't wake up, her brain will burn out. I don't believe her. I can still stop it."

After speaking, he went to find Mrs. Cao, and Cao E was worried, so he followed behind to see his extremely harsh mother.

No matter how much Mrs. Cao abused Cao E's mother and son, she still didn't want to torture them to death. After all, if the three were really gone, who would do the work in the field.

And she also counted on Xie Jinniang to bring her prosperity and wealth after marrying into Fang's family.

But even so, she still didn't want to hire a doctor for Xie Yuangu. Once the doctor came to the door, he would pay a few coppers at least and a few taels at most. How could she be willing to give up this money.

Seeing that Xie Yan was going to pick the medicine, since it was raining and he couldn't do the work anyway, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Since you know how to gather medicine, why don't you go quickly, do you want to wait for your brother to die before going out!"

When Cao E heard Mrs. Cao's curse-like words, her face instantly turned pale, without any blood.

But she has always been weak-tempered, so she didn't dare to contradict her pungent mother, so she had to skip this bad topic, and said to her daughter worriedly: "It's raining outside, and you just woke up from the fever, how can you go, why don't you let me go. "

Xie Yan shook her head and said: "Mother, you don't recognize that herb. When I was still at Xie's house, I secretly saw Uncle picking herbs. I recognize me. Just stay and take care of brother."

The eldest brother of Yuanchen's father, Xie Rongsheng, was a barefoot doctor in their village. He knew how to pick up a few herbs, and he didn't avoid people when drying the medicine. Xie Yan just used this as an excuse.

Cao E had no choice but to turn her head and beg the old lady Cao: "Mother, can you lend Xiaotao's coir raincoat to Jin'er to wear, it's raining outside, if she gets wet and gets sick again, if Fang's family comes to the door then, Whatever you can get."

If it was the past, Mrs. Cao would definitely not bother to pay attention to them, but now that Cao E moved Fang's family out again, she has no reason to refute.

She stared deeply at Xie Jinniang, who is now a little taller than Cao E, and spat, "What a troublemaker, follow me to get it."

As Xie Yan expected, when Cao Xiaotao heard that Mrs. Cao wanted to give Xie Jinniang her coir raincoat to wear, she refused desperately.

The old lady Cao was so angry that she slapped her and scolded: "You have to protect even a coir raincoat, otherwise you go up the mountain to gather medicine."

Only then did Cao Xiaotao angrily go to get out the coir raincoat, and before leaving, the vicious look in her eyes wanted to shoot Xie Yan through.

Of course, Xie Yan knew what Cao Xiaotao was upset about. Apart from the rumor that her mother killed her father, she was just thinking carefully about Xie Jinniang's cheap fiancé, especially after Fang Wenbo was admitted to Tongsheng, this cousin was even more He hated the original body so much that he gritted his teeth and wished he could marry her instead.

Xie Yan sneered in her heart, only the two sisters Cao Xiaotao and Cao Xiaoliu were thinking about each other's Wenbo, but she wouldn't even want such a man for her.

Putting on a straw coir raincoat, I went to the back of the mountain. When I passed by Cao’s vegetable field, I pulled out a ginger, and washed the head of the ginger in the rain. Regardless of the raw taste, I broke off a small piece and put it in my mouth to chew carefully. While walking up the mountain.

This body has just had a high fever and it is still raining now. In order to prevent the cold from entering the body, chewing some ginger will also help.

The young body is really recovering quickly, although the body is a little weak, but after a night's rest, most of it has recovered.

After falling asleep last night, she kept thinking about how to escape from Cao's house with her mother and younger brother.

But no matter what the method is, you have to have some money first.

But now in Cao's house, it is difficult to dig out half a copper plate.

She suddenly remembered the experience of returning to her hometown to start a business after graduation before she passed it on. At that time, she relied on the big mountain behind her grandma's house. Economic forests were planted on the mountain, and understory cultivation was developed according to local conditions. Passion fruit, Kiwi fruit and various Chinese herbal medicines. At the same time, she also cultivated bacteria and raised a lot of free-range chickens. It was this experience that made Xie Yan recognize a lot of Chinese herbal medicines.

Thinking of the past, the few times that Yuanzheng went to the back mountain also flashed in his mind.

There are quite a lot of wild goods in the back mountains. Furong County is rich in fungi, but few people here recognize them.

However, something happened a few years ago, which made the villagers of Shangyan Village turn pale when they talked about these fungi.

At that time, the villagers of Shangyan Village were quite popular to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and wild goods, but later, because a family picked poisonous mushrooms, they went back to stew them with chicken soup. After eating, all five members of the family foamed and died. After that, no one in the village went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

It's autumn now, and it's also a good season for mushrooms. It happened to be raining again in the past two days. You can definitely pick some mushrooms and herbs when you go to the back mountain.

I haven't picked it much for so many years, and now it has just rained, so don't even think about it, there must be many treasures on the mountain.

Because of the cultivation of fungi, and because she likes fungus food very much, Xie Yan has carefully studied all kinds of wild mushrooms, and she is still very sure whether more than [-]% of the fungi are poisonous.

And this time, she plans to pick it up and sell it in the city. The restaurants in the city are more or less knowledgeable, so that she can save money as soon as possible.

Thinking of this in her heart, she told her mother that night that Cao E still had lingering fears about the time of poisonous mushrooms a few years ago, and secondly, she was worried about her daughter's body recovering from a serious illness.

Xie Yan couldn't persuade her after a long meal, and finally had to lie to her that she was just digging herbs, Cao E reluctantly agreed, and then there was a matter of asking Mrs. Cao for the coir raincoat in the morning.

Xie Yan, who was wearing a coir raincoat, had a clear goal and went straight to the back mountain.

I thought to myself that I was going out to dig herbs anyway, and I didn’t say when I would go back. It’s still early in the day, so I don’t worry about not having enough time, but it’s better to dig mushrooms as early as possible, lest the restaurant won’t accept them after dark. .

After going up the mountain, Xie Yan felt like a fish in water, and found that there were a lot of treasures hidden in this mountain, not to mention mushrooms, some bamboo shoots and common Chinese herbal medicines.

Since his body hadn't fully recovered, Xie Yan could only pick some relatively precious ones and put them in the basket.

Picking up and picking up, after about two minutes, I actually picked up a small back basket full of heavy ones.

I found a small cave to avoid the rain, and took a closer look at the things in the back basket. There are some pine mushrooms and thatch mushrooms. Usually, pine mushrooms are sold in modern times. The wet goods are about 60 yuan a catty, let alone three The price of four hundred can be sold.

She carefully sorted out the former body's previous memories, and roughly converted the ratio of modern coins to ancient silver coins. One coin is equivalent to a copper plate, and this small backpack can be exchanged for about a hundred copper coins.

I couldn't help jumping for joy in my heart, it was really rare to get such a small sum of money after going out for two hours.

You know, Cao Hong, the second son of the Cao family, goes out to sell pork with his father-in-law every day, and it only costs ten copper coins a day.

After estimating it again, Xie Yan also began to gain some confidence in her heart.

There were only mushrooms in the box, so Xie Yan pulled out a few more herbs and put them in the basket, so that he could explain something when he went back.

When Xie Yan went down the mountain with a basket full of wild goods on her back, she didn't return to Shangyan Village, but went down the mountain around the next village and walked towards the town.
