The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 139 Granny Pear Catching Ghosts (2)
Leng Ping quickly said: "Grandma, I like to cook. Seeing that you like to eat my cooking makes me happy. Grandma, try this. It's sweet potato jelly. It's appetizing and refreshing. It's perfect for summer!"

Leng Ping dug the sweet potato jelly with chili oil and put it in Granny Li's bowl.

The old lady Li took a look at the jelly that was still shaking, then picked up the bowl, scooped it up with a spoon and brought it to her mouth, her eyes lit up immediately.

"These two servings are really delicious!" Mrs. Li nodded and said, "I used to feel a little hot in my heart, but now that I eat it, I feel much more comfortable!"

As soon as Leng Ping heard that Mrs. Li was not feeling well, she quickly put down her chopsticks and took her pulse. Seeing that her pulse was calm, she said with a smile: "Maybe it's too hot, I'll boil some mung beans later. Soup for grandma!"

Granny Pear nodded.

Talking while eating, a meal lasted for less than half an hour, and when the meal was over, Mrs. Li also said that she would go to the house with Leng Ping to rest and say something sweet, and Hao Shi naturally had a good eye. She said it was stuffy in the room, and she didn't like to sleep in the room, so she took a broken mat, wiped it, and took the three children outside to enjoy the coolness under the shade of a tree.

Li Jiu said that he didn't need to take a nap, and now he would go for a stroll up the back hill by himself.

The old lady Li and Leng Ping lay on the kang, but Leng Ping didn't have much affection for the old lady Li, and she didn't want to get too close. Anyway, it's hot now, and it's uncomfortable for two people to be close together.

Mrs. Li said she had something to say before, but now she only looked at Leng Ping, and said after a long time: "Okay, go to sleep!"

Leng Ping was confused by Granny Li, but she had nothing to say to Granny Li, so she nodded, turned over, and fell asleep after a while.

After Leng Ping fell asleep, Mrs. Li got up furtively, and took out a piece of yellow paper with cinnabar painted on it from her bosom. It seemed to be some kind of charm. She waved the spell and muttered for a long time, and finally put He licked it in his mouth and stuck it on Leng Ping's back.

Because there are many mosquitoes outside, Hao Shi wanted to come in with the palm-leaf fan to fan the mosquitoes, and happened to see Granny Li's movements outside the door, she was taken aback, and suddenly understood something.

I heard that this old lady Li was a great dancer when she was young, and she also said she knew some Taoism. Could it be that she heard the news of Leng Ping's upper body and came to catch ghosts?
Hao's heart sank, and he retreated slowly.

"Mother, where's the cattail fan?" Hua'er kept scratching, and after a while, she had already been bitten by mosquitoes in three big bumps, her small white insteps were swollen up to a high degree.

"Grandma and your sister-in-law are asleep, let's not quarrel with them, mother will wave for you!" Hao Shi said, then sat down and fanned Hua'er.

Hua'er nodded obediently, but the back of her instep was so itchy that she still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, Hao Shi went to find grasshoppers under the wall, crushed the leaves, squeezed out the juice and rubbed it on Hua'er's instep Hua'er then calmed down a bit and fell into a deep sleep.

The children were all asleep, but Hao Shi didn't feel sleepy. He sat on the mat and listened to the cicadas screaming in his ears.

After a while, Hao Shi got up and went to the house when he heard movement in the house.

On the kang, Leng Ping just woke up, turned around and saw that Mrs. Li was still asleep, so she got off the kang by herself to prepare to freshen up.

Standing outside the door, Hao Shi saw Leng Ping coming out, and asked nervously, "Ping'er, are you alright?"

Leng Ping was taken aback, touched her face, there were some marks on her face from sleeping on the mat, she immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a mat mark, it will go down in a while!"

Naturally, Hao Shi didn't want to ask this question, but seeing that Leng Ping's expression was the same, she couldn't say anything more, but went to scoop up well water for her to wash her face.

While Leng Ping was washing her face, people gradually came to work. Everyone wanted to work harder so that they could have a drink tomorrow.

"Brother Cao, Brother Yuan, let's go to the beam tomorrow, you two tell the folks, have dinner at home tomorrow!" Hao Shi scooped out two large buckets of mung bean soup that had been stuffy for noon, and someone immediately came forward and muttered After drinking half his stomach, Hao Shi also took the opportunity to say.

When the big guys heard it, they were naturally happy. It was only noon, and they were so greedy that they could not walk without the smell of the braised pork, especially Yuan Kui, who ate two sweet potatoes with the smell of the braised pork at noon. , but also aftertaste very much!

"Sister-in-law, do you still make braised pork?" Cao Da asked with a smile as he wiped away the saliva from his nose.

Hao smiled awkwardly. Originally, it was no problem to make braised pork with two catties of meat, but now there is only a small piece left. If there are so many people, if they make braised pork, each person will not be able to get a piece of it!

"Let's eat a big dish that is better than braised pork!" Leng Ping wiped her face with a towel, and took over the conversation.

When everyone heard this, they gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and they all responded readily, took off their outer clothes, put on only their cloth vests, and started to work.

"Ping'er, what do you think I picked up?" Li Jiu also came down from the mountain, holding a chubby gray rabbit in her hand.

"Oh, rabbit!" Hao Dan and Shitou were packing up and getting ready to go to school, when they were immediately attracted by the rabbit in Li Jiu's hand.

"Brother Pear, you're lucky. In those days, I waited for a few days to catch a rabbit. You only have one at noon?" Cao Big Nose may have thought of the rabbits of several brothers-in-law, and endured it. Can't help shouting enviously.

Li Jiu smiled and said: "That's right, I just dug the trap, and after walking around in the forest a few times, I fell into a rabbit. It's very fat!" Li Jiu said, handing the rabbit to Hao Shidao, " Sister-in-law, don’t you want to add food for tomorrow, don’t you say you want to serve it?”

Hao Shi was not willing to ask for it, and wanted to refuse, but Li Jiu threw the rabbit to Hao Shi neatly, touched a shovel herself, and stepped forward to help shovel the mud.

"Mom, why don't you just accept it, I'll give you some money, grandma!" The money I gave to Li Jiu last time was left at Leng's house, now that Li Jiu and Mrs. Li came all the way, she naturally had to express it.

Hao Shi also nodded, let Hua'er go into the house to find a rope, tied the rabbit's legs tightly, and prepared to kill and eat tomorrow. Seeing that Hao Dan and the stone were still clinging to the rabbit, she shouted: "What's wrong, you don't go to school today?"

Hao Dan and Shitou hurried out with their schoolbags on their backs.

At this moment, Mrs. Li also woke up. She sat at the door and didn't know what to look at. After listening to Li Jiu talk about going to the beam tomorrow, she said: "Dear family, since we have to work tomorrow, let's not leave today. Help me." You are busy and leave tomorrow!"

If he hadn't seen the incident at noon, Hao Shi would naturally welcome it very much, but now, Hao Shi was very nervous, afraid that Mrs. Li would do something to Leng Ping again, but it was hard to refuse explicitly, so he could only nod reluctantly. .

In the afternoon, Leng Ping was thinking about seeing a doctor for Yang Tong's child, so she went to Yangshu Village. The child really had a cold, but it had been dragging on for a long time, and the illness was not serious. Leng Ping left a look Medicine, let me take it first, and then go to the follow-up consultation in the afternoon of the second day.
