27. Chapter 27 Collecting herbs from the back mountain 1
Today is the fifteenth day again, and it’s the day when I go to the back mountain to collect fragrant grass.
Master issued an order not to allow any of the senior brothers to help me dig grass. However, the tenth senior brother was the most kind-hearted. When I was still following him, he secretly came to the back mountain to help me twice.
Ever since I followed Brother Eleven, he would come with me every time I went to Houshan.
However, Senior Brother Eleven has a heart made of stone, so he would not disobey his orders to help me dig grass. He just fanned leisurely and looked at me silently with the corner of his mouth raised.
Last time, he looked at me and made me feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, when the sky was bright today, I carried a bamboo basket on my back, intending to leave Senior Brother Eleven behind and go to the back mountain by myself without anyone noticing.
With a "squeak" sound, I carefully pushed open the door of Jingshui Residence and poked my head around to look around.
Well, sure enough, there was no one around. Suddenly a small flame of joy ignited in my heart, and I stepped out of the threshold excitedly.
But, unfortunately, as soon as he turned the corner, "Tsk!", the small flame was poured over by a basin of cold water, leaving no sparks left -
Brother Eleven leaned against the wall with his arms folded, looking at me inscrutably: "You got up early today."
Alas, I am very puzzled. He has trouble sleeping so early in the morning. What is he doing when he comes to the door of my Jingshui Residence and stares at me?
I dejectedly stepped onto the bluestone steps leading to the back mountain. Brother Eleven was about ten steps behind me, following me slowly, waving his plain fan.
When I was still at home, I once heard my eldest brother mention that fragrant grass is an herbal medicine introduced from a small country in the western border. This grass is adapted to the nature of the soil. In that small country, this small country has a small country, and this fragrant grass is also cultivated to be very small-minded and very temperamental.
Delicate.
When the grass sprouts, it needs the sun and the rain will be good. If there is one more or less rain, the grass will wilt and curl up. But there are not so many good days that will be good.
?
Therefore, although this sweetgrass is stingy, the asking price is indeed very generous. In recent years, there has been too much water, and the sweetgrass has not grown well. Now one sweetgrass is worth an ingot of gold.
Alas, it is such a rare grass, but it has lost its little temperament when it comes to Taixi Mountain. It looks very aggressive, and there is a large area growing on the back mountain...
I looked at the fragrant grass all over the mountains and fields in front of me and sighed again - Master, he is so ignorant that he allowed all this gold to become my bath water...
Not knowing whether there were wolves, tigers, leopards, or birds and beasts behind me, Brother Eleven took a few steps quickly, caught up with me, and stood beside me.
I glared at him fiercely, looked for a shady spot, put down the bamboo basket, took a copper spatula, and walked to the grass with my skirt in hand.
Brother Eleven stood aside and looked at the scenery for a while, then turned around and leaned on the tree trunk behind me, looking at me with a leisurely expression.
Maybe a few days ago, I swept the floor with him for a month, and we had some friendship. This time, he was uncharacteristically speaking behind me -
"This grass is a bit old..."
"That grass is a bit tender..."
"The one on your right is infested with worms..."
"The one on your left looks just right..."
…
After a while, my work efficiency plummeted, and I might not be able to go back if I continue like this.
I turned my head and glanced at Senior Brother Eleven, then dragged the bamboo basket away bitterly and walked away.
I thought, if he dares to follow me, I will put this bamboo basket on his head, beat him severely, and teach him a lesson!
After walking five or six steps, I secretly glanced sideways and saw that the eleventh senior brother didn't chase me this time and just sat down under the tree.
Humph, he is quite sensible! Today is the 15th day of the month, and it is the day when I go to the back mountain to collect fragrant grass.
