Chapter 169 The poisonous woman enters the backyard
There had been a snowfall after the autumn harvest, but the temperature did not reach freezing point, so the snow did not accumulate, but turned into water and seeped into the mountains.
Mountains like this are very muddy, and walking is very troublesome. Everyone has to use the hatchet in their hand to scrape the mud off the soles of their feet from time to time, otherwise they will either be unable to lift their feet or they will slip.
Li Huan wore the rubber shoes specially given to him by Cheng Qiao, which were much better than those wearing cotton shoes. At least the rubber shoes were not waterproof, so over time, he started to sweat a little.
But the situation was different for those villagers whose families were not in good condition. Their shoes were worn out and the soles were worn out. The cold muddy water penetrated through the tattered cotton shoes, freezing their feet to the point where they were almost numb.
Chen Weidang couldn't help but shake his head. The hunting team had such a hard time walking up the mountain. If they encountered any large beasts, these people would not even have the strength to escape.
He walked over quickly and discussed with Li Huan. Li Huan looked back and was convinced. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and happened to see several plants around him that were more than 80 centimeters tall and had thick main roots.
His eyes lit up involuntarily, Cheng Qiao studied medicine with Uncle Ye, and from time to time he had to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Why not let those people learn to collect herbs, and then sell them to Uncle Ye and Cheng Qiao, so that they could support their family.
"Folks, this is Astragalus membranaceus. The root of Astragalus membranaceus can be used as medicine. It tastes sweet and is warm in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the kidneys and spleen, antiperspirant and diuresis, reducing swelling and draining pus."
Chen Weidang pulled Li Huan's sleeve. He was here to ask Li Huan to persuade those people to go back. Why did this guy talk about medicinal materials? Could it be that he, like his wife, studied medicine with Ye Jun.
"Anyone whose shoes have been soaked in water and whose feet are numb from the cold, go back quickly and change your shoes. If you can still hold on, pick these herbs and give them to me. I can give you some corn flour or sorghum flour."
Those whose shoes were soaked had actually given up, but they did not dare to say that they wanted to go back, for fear that good things in the village would not happen to them in the future.
Now that Li Huan said this, people who wanted to leave rushed over, carefully looked at the astragalus in Li Huan's hand, and then started looking for it. Since this can be exchanged for rations, it must not be in vain.
Seeing the villagers bustling for astragalus, Li Huan once again asked those who were willing to go up the mountain with him to get ready. They were going into the mountain.
Finally, Li Huan led more than 30 people up the mountain. The others went down the mountain and looked for astragalus. If they couldn't find it, they chopped some firewood and went back.
Xu Laidi first picked up some firewood and returned to the educated youth point. Then he took a rope and a pole, pretending to chop firewood, and walked towards the back mountain.
The other female educated youths in the educated youth spot, including the village women, were also busy with their own tasks. No one noticed that Xu Laidi had arrived in the yard of Cheng Qiao's house.
She sneakily climbed up the wall to see where Cheng Qiao's son was, but she only heard the sound of chopping firewood. She glanced over and saw Li's mother sitting in the yard of Cheng Qiao's new house, chopping firewood.
Xu Laidi was overjoyed. If Li's mother was in the old house and she wanted to enter the Li family, she would definitely not be able to avoid Li's eyes. But now that Li's mother was in a newly built house, she could definitely get in from the backyard of the old house.
But Xu Laidi looked around the backyard and saw no sign of little Cheng Li at all. Could it be that he was sleeping in the house? It was impossible. A child of this age would never sleep at this time.
But she couldn't hear little Cheng Li's voice, and suddenly she thought of Li Le. Could it be that Li Le had taken Cheng Qiao's son to school, but how could he go to school with his child?
Xu Laidi was puzzled, but he could only sneak out of the Li family's yard. He didn't know what to do for a while. Should he go to the county town to see if the children were following Li Le, or wait until the next opportunity.
She had no idea that Cheng Qiao had placed little Cheng Li in the space a long time ago. Li Huan made a wooden bed for little Cheng Li that could be surrounded on all sides, and covered it with soft quilts and cotton pads, making it a comfortable little bed.
Then let the red-headed viper accompany little Cheng Li. When it is feeding time, she will naturally sneak into the space avoiding Ye Jun and feed little Cheng Li.
Ye Jun discovered that Cheng Qiao was clearly in the northwest corner just now, but when he walked over, she was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but sigh. He had found some kind of magical apprentice. No wonder he learned medicine so quickly.
Then he glanced left and right and returned to his original position. Cheng Qiao was so anxious to feed little Cheng Li that he didn't even see the moment when Ye Jun advanced or retreated.
If she had seen it, she would have confessed to Ye Jun earlier. In fact, Cheng Qiao felt that Ye Jun really treated her as his own daughter and taught her medical classics without mercy.
After Cheng Qiao fed little Cheng Li, he peed again and played with him for a while. When he saw him rubbing his eyes with his hands, he knew that his son was going to sleep, so he quickly put him to sleep.
Then he brought the red-headed viper out of the space. Whenever Cheng Qiao went up the mountain, he would always release the red-headed viper and let it move freely in the mountain.
"Cheng Qiao, be careful..."
Ye Jun saw Cheng Qiao appearing and was about to walk over when he suddenly saw a red-headed viper appear. He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.
But when Cheng Qiao turned around, the red-headed viper had already left proudly. Ye Jun swore that he saw the snake looking at him, as if it was laughing at him.
"Cheng Qiao, are you okay?"
"Master, I'm fine, I'm not afraid of snakes."
Ye Jun stared at Cheng Qiao, there is no girl who is not afraid of snakes, no, Cheng Qiao looks like a girl, but in fact she is the mother of one child.
Cheng Qiao looked at Ye Jun's eyes and felt a little guilty in her heart, but she really didn't dare to tell Ye Jun about her rebirth and possession of a heaven-defying treasure space, for fear that he would regard her as a monster and take away her with a handful of medicine powder.
Life.
"Master, there are some things I can't tell you yet. When I grow up and can protect myself and you, I will tell you everything."
Ye Jun nodded. Although the medicinal materials Cheng Qiao gave him looked like they were picked in the mountains, their efficacy and taste were better and purer than those picked in the mountains.
He wanted to ask Cheng Qiao several times about the source of these medicines, but as he spoke, he was forced to stop. He was worried that once he opened his mouth, Cheng Qiao would never come up with these medicines again.
"This year, Maodong, I will stay with you. You will learn acupuncture and bone setting from me. You will also study the ancient classics. This is the treasure of our Ye family."
Cheng Qiao was happy in her heart. Although she had memorized all the prescriptions in the ancient prescription books, dispensing the prescriptions was a difficult process, and the slightest error could lead to a huge failure. If there was even the slightest mistake in the whole process, everything would fail.
