After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Chapter 9 He feels that he is illiterate now
Zhou Shitang: "I think so too."

The two of them followed the bloodstains all the way to find it.

The blood has dried and darkened, drop by drop.

Zhou Shitang couldn't help but shout, "Dad, where are you? Just squeak when you hear my voice!"

Dad is the backbone of the family and nothing can happen to him.

After she finished speaking, there was no response, but the sound of a bird flapping its wings and flying away came.

Su Huaili quickly picked up a stone and threw it over.

He was a good shot and the bird was hit by a stone and fell to the ground.

Su Huaili strode over and picked it up, in a good mood.

Zhou Shitang was greedy, the bird meat was delicious, she couldn't help but said: "You are quite accurate, have you learned it before?"

She saw that he also had a northern face, but she had never seen him in the capital before, and she didn't know if he was from the capital.

Su Huaili smiled and said: "The only skill I can use is riding and shooting."

"You can also learn how to kill animals when you encounter them in the mountains. Your hands must be steady, and your movements must be fast and ruthless."

Zhou Shitang listened carefully, "I understand."

If you don’t know something, learn it from scratch. Everything is to improve the quality of life. Chong.

She has been a real loser in the past 12 years. She has learned nothing but enjoyment.

The two of them talked all the way there.

Zhou Shitang dug up a lot of medicinal materials.

The people living nearby are not only prisoners but also villagers. Most of them are uneducated. Those who are literate may not know the medicinal materials. Even if they see the medicinal materials, they will not know that they are medicinal materials.

Su Huaili had a little bit of education, but he looked at Zhou Shitang digging and digging like an illiterate throughout the whole process.

There are a lot of medicinal materials to dig up and take home.

Zhou Shitang looked at the medicinal materials in his hand, and the sadness of not being able to eat pork was dissipated a lot.

If she can't eat pork, at least she still has medicinal materials, and she dug a lot of celery not long ago, so she should be content.

Su Huaili tried hard to remember the appearance of the medicinal materials in Zhou Shitang's hands, so that he could dig them back when he came across them while hunting in the mountains.

He identified them for a long time, and finally found that some medicinal herbs looked like grass. He might not be able to recognize them if they were mixed in the grass, and even if he recognized them, he would not know what these medicinal herbs had.

You should read more and study more.

He felt that he was illiterate now.

Zhou Shitang noticed Su Huaili's thirsty eyes. She stared at the bird in his hand for a while, then cleared her throat and asked, "Do you really want to know what these medicinal materials do?"

Su Huaili nodded, "I want to know."

"Knowledge is a very precious asset. Owning knowledge is like owning a treasure, so you have to learn more." Zhou Shitang said seriously.

Su Huaili didn't agree with this sentence before, but he experienced so many things today and saw Zhou Shitang digging medicinal materials, digging wild vegetables and talking about the functions of snakes, so he very much agrees with this sentence at this moment, "You said You’re right, knowledge is indeed valuable.”

If he knows the medicinal materials, he can not only use them for his own family, but also sell them for money.Knowing wild vegetables can fill your stomach.

His goal is simple, just to fill his stomach, that's enough.

He also wanted to eat well, just like before.But, alas, given the current situation, I still don’t want to think about it.Let the past go, and he wants to move forward.Seeing that Su Huaili agreed with his words, Zhou Shitang knew that the fish had taken the bait, so he officially got to the point, "Well, we can make a deal."

Su Huaili was confused, weren't they talking about knowledge, why did they talk about trading?

He didn’t understand and asked, “What deal?”

After he finished speaking, he noticed her staring at the bird in her hand. In hindsight, he probably guessed what she wanted to do, "Do you want to exchange knowledge with me?"

Zhou Shitang raised a smile. He guessed it without her having to explain too much. It was really worry-free, "Yes, are you willing?"

Su Huaili was silent. He thought for a long time and finally nodded, "I do."

"Tell me, how do we make an exchange?" Su Huaili didn't hesitate. If the exchange she mentioned could satisfy him, he would have no problem with it.

It's equivalent to mutual benefit.

In the end, he has flesh and knowledge.

This is a win-win process, and there is no need for him to refuse.

Zhou Shitang was thinking about how to satisfy both parties. After walking for a while, she slowly said: "I will teach you about medicinal materials and their functions. What do you think of five medicinal materials for one pound of meat?"

Su Huaili nodded, "Okay."

"I also want to know wild vegetables." Su Huaili thought for a while and added.

Zhou Shitang nodded, "No problem."

Then she pointed to the medicinal material she had just dug and began to talk, "This is amaranth. The seeds are bitter and flat. It clears away heat and dampness, detoxifies, and reduces nebula. It is used for corneal cloudiness, dysentery, and carbuncle."

"Root: used for painful urination and dysentery."

"Whole plant or leaves: bitter, flat. Detoxifying, dispelling wind. Used for carbuncle sores, dysentery, otitis media, tinnitus, deafness, joint pain."

Su Huaili was in a daze when he heard it. He didn't remember it after listening, and his eyes were still blank.

He couldn't help but make a small request, "Can you write it on paper? If possible, it would be better to draw the appearance of the medicinal materials."

In this way, he can take it with him and read it when he has time. He will remember it after reading it too much.

Zhou Shitang spread his hands and gave Su Huaili a helpless look, "No, my family is very poor and we don't have pen, ink, paper or inkstone. I can write, but I can't draw, but my third brother can. He can draw very well, but it's a pity. No tools."

Su Huaili: "..."

His family doesn't have pens, inks, paper, and inkstones. It's good for them to survive in their current situation. If they have money, they have to save it to buy food and other things. It's impossible to buy things like paper, ink, pens, and inkstones that they won't use temporarily.

Zhou Shitang could see that Su Huaili was a young man who didn't like to study. She handed the wormwood to him and said, "Here, take it, identify it carefully, and then memorize what I just said. Memorize it by rote."

"If you don't understand, you can ask me. I'll take care of the after-sales service."

Su Huaili took the amaranth plant and wondered, "What does after-sales service mean?"

Zhou Shitang: "The simple explanation is that if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. As long as I am still in Lingnan, you can ask."

Su Huaili understood that she was so generous, and he should show some appreciation for it, so he handed the bird over, "This bird probably doesn't weigh half a catty without its feathers. Here it is, and I will make up another one catty for you in the future. You will come back later Tell me more about the functions of the medicinal materials."

He can't remember so many things in his mind now.

Zhou Shitang was not polite and took the bird over with a smile, "Thank you very much."

When you get the bird, you will be happy!
