The next day, when Cheng Yun got up, he found that Cheng Zhongqian had also gotten up, and couldn't help but secretly laugh behind his back.
Today I have to go up the mountain to collect firewood. All I have used this month is the firewood left by the previous owner, and even if I use it sparingly, there is not enough.
"Dad, do you want to come with us?" Cheng Yun asked.
Lingbao said: "Go, let's go. Daddy, let's go with us. The whole family needs to be together."
Cheng Zhongqian didn't think long before he agreed. He needed to exercise to lose weight and he could never appear in front of his wife like an ugly fat man one day in the future.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhongqian was filled with energy.
Lingbao looked left and right, feeling extremely happy. His steps were brisk and joyful. On the left was the second brother, on the left was dad, on the left was the eldest brother, and on the right was the king. There were many of them.
Beside Ling Bao.
Lingbao couldn't help but jump a little, she was so happy!
Happiness is about to fly.
If her mother and third brother were here, then Lingbao would be the happiest child in the world.
They borrowed two sickles from the village chief. There was not much firewood on the mountain at this time, so they might need to do it themselves.
Cheng Zhongqian hadn't moved like this for a long time, and he started panting halfway through.
Lingbao said considerately: "Dad, are you tired? Let's take a rest."
When Cheng Zhongqian saw that a child was more relaxed than him, he couldn't help feeling sad, angry and ashamed. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not tired, keep going!"
Ling Bao was confused, daddy was obviously tired, why did he say he wasn't tired?
The king said: "Sir, you want to save face the most."
"What is face?" Lingbao asked, "Is it the same as dough?"
"No, face means respectability, you can't lose face." The king explained to her.
"Oh." Ling Bao seemed to understand but not understand.
Two sickles, one each for brothers Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi, were harvesting dry branches. Ling Bao and Da Wang went to play while Cheng Yun shouted: "Don't run too far."
"good!"
Cheng Zhongqian rested on a big tree and watched the scene in front of him silently. His sons were working surprisingly skillfully...
"Your Majesty, can we still find snakes?" Ling Bao looked here and there and asked expectantly.
The king shook his head: "Snakes are all hibernating, so it's not easy to find them."
Lingbao was a little disappointed, but soon became happy again. He picked up the thin branches that had fallen on the ground and held them in his arms while counting: "One, two, three, four..."
When I counted to thirteen, I was not sure, so I asked the king if he was right. The king said he was right and continued counting.
"What is this?" Ling Bao suddenly exclaimed.
The king hurried over and moved like a big glutinous rice dumpling: "Let me see."
Lingbao moved to the side.
The land in front of her was overgrown with weeds. One area of the land was turned over, and what was exposed was the rhizome of the plant. It was a long piece, yellowish in color, and the branches and leaves were withered. It was probably dug by small animals passing by, so
It just "drilled" out of the ground.
Lingbao asked: "Can this be eaten?"
The king cat held his face with his paws and said thoughtfully: "This thing looks familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment."
Lingbao: "What should we do?"
"I'll go to the space to check. Lingbao, please help me look out."
Lingbao: "Okay!"
Ling Bao, who was entrusted with the important task, watched all directions and listened in all directions, and performed his duties seriously. When he turned around, the king had already come out.
"Your Majesty, have you found it? It's so fast!" Ling Bao was so surprised.
Of course, it is not a book-by-book translation. As long as it enters the space, it is like having a search engine, and it can be found quickly.
"Lingbao, this is a medicinal material!" the king said excitedly, "dig it out quickly, let's take it home, and then we can sell it for money."
Sell it for money? Lingbao agreed immediately. She didn't have a shovel, so she dug it with her hands.
The frozen one that was exposed was not in good condition, but there were a lot of the same plants next to it. Lingbao hummed and pulled them apart with his hands, and after a while they turned into little dirty claws.
Cheng Yun, who hadn't heard her voice for a long time, walked over worriedly. When he saw this, his eyes darkened.
"Ling Bao, what are you doing?" He said with difficulty.
Ling Bao's eyes lit up: "Brother, come here, help me!"
Cheng Yun asked: "What are you digging these for?"
"This is a medicinal material called turmeric. We dig it up and sell it for money, so we can buy gloves." Ling Bao was still thinking about his elder brother's gloves.
Cheng Yun doubted: "This is medicinal material? How did you know?"
"Your Majesty told me," Ling Bao replied, "Your Majesty knows a lot!"
Cheng Yun lowered his eyes, glanced at the chubby king, and shook his head secretly.
"It's just a cat. It doesn't know anything about medicinal materials." Cheng Yun said, "Okay, come with me and see if your hands are dirty."
"She understands!" Lingbao puffed up her cheeks and said, the king would not lie to her. Snakes can be used as medicine, which is what the king told her.
The king rubbed his little master happily and wiped away the moved tears from his eyes.
Lingbao held his hand and said aggrievedly: "Brother, believe me, this is really a medicinal material."
Cheng Yun sighed: "Okay, big brother will dig with you."
Ling Bao burst into tears and smiled: "I knew my eldest brother was the best!"
Cheng Zhongqian and Cheng Yi quickly came over. After hearing what happened, they were very suspicious. Is this really a medicinal material?
"Why don't you believe it, second brother? Didn't you believe that snakes could be sold for money last time?" Ling Bao was very confused.
Cheng Yi pouted: "That's because I already know that snakes can be used as medicine."
Lingbao snorted unhappily.
"Lingbao, don't be upset. Once they take it to the medical clinic and sell it, you will know that what we both said is right." The king bared his teeth bitterly, human beings are really stupid.
They didn't bring a basket, so they couldn't take it with them even if they dug it all, so they only dug a small part and came back in the afternoon with the rest.
The turmeric in this area is growing very well. After digging it all, it was spread out over a large area in the yard.
"It looks like ginger." Ling Bao said.
The king said that you only need to dig out its rhizomes, and the branches and leaves cannot be used as medicine.
"Your Majesty, what can turmeric cure?" Ling Bao asked curiously, holding his chin.
The king took out the book about turmeric and turned to the turmeric page. Lingbao could not read, so he read to her: "Turmeric can promote qi and break blood stasis, stimulate menstruation and relieve pain. It is mainly used for..."
Lingbao couldn't understand a single word, but that didn't stop her from expressing her admiration: "It's so amazing, it can cure so many people! It must have saved a lot of people!"
She looked at the book longingly and said, "It would be great if I could recognize many words. Are all the medicinal materials in this book?"
King: "Yes."
Ling Bao touched this book, she must study harder!
I went there again in the afternoon and the baskets were all full.
You can sell it for money again!
Lingbao swallowed, she wanted to eat another meat bun, it was so delicious!
