The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 200 Advancement (1)
Leng Ping's eyes widened. She thought that Mrs. Hao would agree. This Mrs. Hao has always been a good person, what others say, what she should do, this one really impresses her, even if Hao Dan gets married, she will have a baby. The child has moved out of such an excuse, but it is really...

Li Jiu's face turned red, she touched her head in embarrassment and said, "This..."

"You can't do it without a woman at home. Look at your clothes, haven't you washed them for a long time? I heard that her grandma has been ill again. You have to take care of the elderly and take care of yourself. You can't do it alone. This matter So it's settled, just a few days ago I met the matchmaker Liu in the village, I told her to let you find one in the nearby villages, although we are not very rich now, we are not bad at marrying a daughter-in-law The money!" Hao Shi said, and at the same time asked Hao Dan to call Liu Matchmaker in the village.

As Hao's mother-in-law, Li Jiu naturally felt embarrassed about this matter, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I don't need to ask my mother-in-law about this matter. Besides, my mother is also staying here temporarily. In a few days!"

As Li Jiu said, she turned around and went to Cao Big Nose's earthen jar, deliberately changed the subject and asked, "What is this for?"

Next, Hao Shi wanted to say something to Li Jiu, but Li Jiu kept pretending to be confused, and finally left the luggage in the room, and followed Leng Ping into the mountain with two earthen jars.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, Leng Ping and the others arrived on the mountain before dark, Leng Ping found some dark and damp places, and then started to light torches nearby to keep warm.

Yuan Kui carried a small bag of sweet potatoes and buried them in the ground to simmer.

Gou Sheng Niang is in charge of boiling water.

When it was almost Xu time, Leng Ping took out a small bottle of sesame oil, lit it in the oil lamp, and then walked around those dark and damp places with the sesame oil lamp.

"What is this for?" Gou Sheng Niang asked while watching Leng Ping turn around while picking up the ripe sweet potato skin.

"Don't worry, just wait!" Yuan Kui whispered.

After a while, everyone heard a rustling sound. Gou Sheng Niang looked carefully and saw a dozen scorpions running out from under some rocks. Gululu rolled on the ground. , shouted, "My mother!", and immediately jumped on Yuan Kui's body.

Cao Dabi was also trembling with fright, for a moment he forgot what Leng Ping had ordered before.

"Hurry up!" Leng Ping said anxiously.

At this moment, Li Jiu strode forward, quickly picked up the scorpion with chopsticks, and put it in the earthen jar that he carried with him.

Leng Ping breathed a sigh of relief, she expanded the range again, and continued to walk, in twos and threes, scorpions ran out, and Li Jiu followed her to pick them up.

At this moment, Gou Sheng Niang also regained her composure, and was aggrieved by Yuan Kui's stare.

"Hurry up and work, what are you afraid of?" Yuan Kui whispered, picking up the chopsticks, even though he said that, his hands were still trembling.

These snakes, insects and poisonous ants usually dodge when they look at them, but now they want to catch these things... But thinking of the 40 taels of silver, Yuan Kui straightened up and rushed up, just in time to see the faint yellow light, A scorpion was running, and Yuan Kui stretched out his chopsticks as soon as he raised his breath.

The first time he missed it, the scorpion ran towards Yuan Kui. Yuan Kui was terrified, but when the scorpion climbed onto him, he finally caught it with his chopsticks, but because of too much force, he caught the scorpion all at once. pinched...

"This..." Yuan Kui's face was full of shame and annoyance, he looked up and saw that the side of Cao Da's nose was not very good, but Yang Tong, after a round of fear, finally calmed down and picked up one.

Yuan Kui and Cao Dabi looked at each other, and they followed Leng Ping to post it again. After finding the scorpion again, they hurried to catch up, but this time they were much more careful.

After several trials, the two finally managed to pick up the scorpion!
The sesame oil that Leng Ping used this time was given by Mrs. Ruan when she left last time. This sesame oil is very precious, and only the royal family in Tiancheng can afford it, so Leng Ping cherishes it very much, but fortunately it is useless Dropped, it came in handy today.

There are not many scorpions in the mountain, but they are not too few. In half an hour, only a few dozen were caught.

After half an hour, Yuan Kui and the others had overcome their fear of scorpions, only Gou Sheng Niang still didn't dare to do anything, and Leng Ping didn't want to force her, so she finally gave her the job of carrying a sesame oil lamp around, and she took Holding the chopsticks, he catches scorpions with Li Jiu and the others.

This night, the four of them caught a total of hundreds of them, which was considered a bumper harvest.

Although the sting is over, the weather is still cold, especially when it is late at night, the temperature in this mountain is extremely low. Seeing that the best time for scorpions to come out to look for food has passed, everyone is tired, so they sit around the fire After we got down, we drank hot water and ate some soft sweet potatoes, and took a short break before we set out on the road.

Yuan Kui was very dissatisfied with Gou Shengniang, and said in a low voice: "Look at you, you are more violent than anyone else in the usual quarrels, and you will be scared when you meet the real ones!"

Gou Sheng Niang was a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refute, so she glanced at Leng Ping cautiously.

"It's okay, it'll be fine after a while, that's it for tonight, we'll come back tomorrow night!" Leng Ping said after eating sweet potatoes, warming up her body.

The big guy nodded, took his own small earthen jar, sealed it, and put it in the back basket and went down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was not easy, and it was dark, so everyone had difficulty walking. Fortunately, Li Jiu was there. Li Jiu was an expert on mountain roads. He opened the way ahead, and everyone walked more smoothly.

At this moment, Hao sent the children to sleep, and sat in the main room with the lamp on, opening the door and looking out from time to time, full of worries.

How is this scorpion so easy to catch!

Hao Shi was sitting at the door, and Dabao was lying at her feet. Suddenly, Dabao barked a few times towards the door, and Hao Shi stood up immediately, looking vigilantly at the wooden door.

"Mother, it's us!" Leng Ping yelled outside for fear of startling Hao Shi, Dabao stopped yelling, and ran to the wooden door wagging his tail and circling, sniffing.

Leng Ping quickly unbolted the door latch and opened the door for Leng Ping and the others.

Outside the gate, Leng Ping asked Cao Dabi and others to go back, and only brought Li Jiu in.

"How is it? You didn't get stung by the scorpion, did you?" Leng Ping looked at Leng Ping first.

"Mom, it's all right. We caught a lot tonight!" Leng Ping took out the earthen pot from the basket carried by Li Jiu, asked Hao to hold the oil lamp, and the three of them went under the fence. in the pit.

Carefully opening the crock with its head down, the scorpions jumped out immediately, some hid in the rubble at the bottom of the pit, and some tried to climb up, but when they touched the black tarpaulin, they all fell apart. At the bottom of the pit.
