Chapter 35 Rongshan Village

Shen Hao's eyes shone and he looked at Shen Jia with admiration: "Sister, how do you know so much? You're so awesome!"

I randomly picked two pink and unripe mountain tangerine seeds and asked, "Are tangerine seeds also effective in medicine?"

"Yes. The whole plant of Nianzi can be used for medicinal purposes. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and dredging meridians, astringing and stopping diarrhea, tonifying deficiency and stopping bleeding. The roots can dispel wind, activate collaterals, astringent and stop diarrhea. The leaves can astringe, stop diarrhea and stop bleeding. The fruit of Nianzi is sweet. Astringent, neutral in nature, it can nourish liver qi and nourish liver blood, it can astringe and consolidate astringent blood and stop bleeding, it can astringent intestines and stop diarrhea, and it has the effects of consolidating sperm and reducing urination.

The wine made from the seeds is very sweet and is a very good health wine. It can also replenish qi and blood, relieve heat and relieve pain, protect black hair, dispel wind and activate collaterals, and beautify the skin. It is especially suitable for women to drink. "

"Tianzi wine? Nianzi can make wine. Can other fruits also make wine?"

"Yes, yellow skin can be used to make yellow wine. Yellow wine has the effects of promoting body fluids and quenching thirst, quenching thirst and relieving annoyance, strengthening the stomach and digestion, relieving pain and dissipating heat, diuresis and reducing swelling. Mulberry wine, plum wine, wine, dates liquor……"

Shen Jia introduced various medicinal herbs to Shen Hao along the way, and also shot two pheasants and carried a hare, and arrived at Rongshan Village before the sun set.

There are about forty households in Rongshan Village, most of which are mud-brick houses. At this time, the village is filled with smoke from cooking.

A child at the entrance of the village saw two strange and handsome young men, and curiously stepped forward and asked, "You two young men, who are you looking for?"

Shen Jia took out a few pieces of candy from his backpack and gave them to several children, "We are going to a family whose daughter married and opened a rice noodle shop in the county town. Can you help lead the way?"

"Okay, you can come with us!" Several children took the candies and jumped up and down to a house in the middle of the village.

Shen Jia looked at the Lu family's house carefully.

The wall foundation of the mud brick house is made of stones, which is strong and moisture-proof. The walls are then built with thick mud bricks, which are insulated and durable. The top is covered with black tiles, which keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer. There is something special about feeling the breath of nature among the mountains.

The walls made of piled stones are already covered with moss, and it is unknown how many years of vicissitudes they have gone through.

Lu's sister-in-law, Hong, came back from picking vegetables from the vegetable field and saw two handsome young men standing at the door of her house. "You two young men, who are you looking for?"

Shen Jia turned his head and saw a woman with regular facial features and dark skin wearing a commoner's jacket walking over.

Shen Jia and Shen Hao bowed their hands and said, "Is this the mother-in-law of the county rice noodle shop Lu's family? I am from Beili Village, my surname is Shen, and this is my eldest brother."

"It turns out they are two Young Masters Shen. The young lady is being polite." Madam Hong responded with a half salute. Then he added, "I am Ms. Hong, Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law. It's getting late, so why don't the two young masters stay in a humble house for one night before leaving."

"Sorry for bothering you."

"Two Mr. Shen, please have a meal. Don't think the food is crude." Hong's mother-in-law is a kind and hospitable old man. She is already in her fifties. Her temples are gray, her face is dull, and her face is covered with wrinkles. .

"Grandma's warm hospitality, we two brothers are very grateful." After an hour of conversation, Shen Jia had already learned everything about the Lu family's situation.

Rongshan Village is a family.

More than a hundred years ago, there was a three-year drought in the Central Plains, resulting in no harvests. Later, a devastating plague appeared. Heroes from all walks of life rose up one after another. Military chaos, drought, and epidemics came one after another, and the people either fled or fled. The ancestors of Rongshan Village fled all the way from the north to Lingnan, and finally hid in the mountains of Yi County, where they settled and multiplied.

Their family is the direct branch, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, Lu's two sisters-in-law and her eight nephews. The eldest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is seven or eight years old. The more they work, the more they do. In the past few years since Lu's two eldest brothers disappeared, these boys have also helped support the family.

A large pot of thick wild vegetable porridge, a plate of fried beans and eggplants, plus two pheasants and a hare caught on Shenjia Road, it was already a rich dinner for the Lu family.

After the meal, everyone had become quite familiar with each other.

Grandpa Lu is very tall, has an honest and honest face, and is an old man who is not good at words. After the meal, Shen Jia and Shen Hao continued to chat with him and inquired about the news.

"What? You want to go to Huxi Mountain? No, you can't go. You two young masters, you don't know something. Once you enter Huxi Mountain, you will never go back. My two sons will never go back after entering Huxi Mountain. There's no one coming back." Grandpa Lu beat his chest and burst into tears.

I learned from Grandpa Lu that Huxi Mountain is a branch of the Yunshan Mountains. It stretches for hundreds of miles and is uninhabited. After climbing over Huxi Mountain, you can leave the province and reach the boundary of Longzhou. It is said that the place where Longzhou is close to Yixian is also hundreds of miles away. Deserted.

"Grandpa Lu, don't worry. We two brothers are fully prepared and everything will be fine." Shen Jia felt very guilty and uncovered the scars in Grandpa Lu's heart, but she didn't know how to comfort people and was a little at a loss.

"Grandpa Lu, is there a road from the county seat directly to Longzhou and Douzhou?" Shen Hao was not very good at comforting people, so he quickly asked another question.

Grandpa Lu blushed slightly, feeling that he had lost his composure in front of the younger generation. He quickly calmed down and said: "There is such a road that branches off in the middle, going to Longzhou on one side and Douzhou on the other. In the past, people who were doing business We walked, because we had to take a detour, so the distance was half the distance, and we didn’t earn much money. After that, almost no one walked, and now the road has grown grass.”

Shen Jia and Shen Hao looked at each other. In other words, the area around Huxi Mountain is sparsely populated, and no one will notice anything they do inside?

Shen Jia and Shen Hao asked all the questions they needed to ask, and after they came up with all the things they needed to say, they went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Shen Jia and Shen Hao were sleeping soundly when they heard cries and loud chatter coming from the village.

Shen Jia walked out of the room, and Shen Hao also walked out from the opposite side.

Shen Jia saw Mrs. Hong walking out in a hurry and asked quickly: "Aunt Hong, what happened?"

"I don't know. It sounds like my cousins ​​are giving birth. I'll go over and have a look first." Hong said and prepared to go out.

Shen Jia grabbed her and said, "I'll go with you. I'm a doctor." After Shen Jia finished speaking, she took her purse.

"Even if you are a doctor? But you are a man, and you are not suitable to be present when a woman gives birth." A woman's reputation is too important. If the young master is allowed to be present, even if the cousins ​​give birth to the child in the end, they probably won't have the shame to live here. in the world.

"Don't worry, I'm a woman, I just dress up as a man for the convenience of traveling." Shen Jia explained.

Hong suddenly realized that no wonder her father-in-law and mother-in-law asked her to prepare two rooms. It turned out that the young master was a woman. It seemed that the old man had a sharp eye and could spot her disguised as a man.
