The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 201 Advancement (2)
The scorpions that fell to the bottom of the pit finally gave up their resistance, and all burrowed into it to hide.

Leng Ping opened a few earthen jars next to each other, and the scorpion jumped into it, watching Hao Shi's face pale, and his body swayed a few times.

So many scorpions are too scary!

"Mother, it's getting late, let's rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow!" Leng Ping stretched her sore back, walked up and down the mountain road for several miles, and she was really tired.

Hao Shi was eager to get out of the scorpion pit as soon as possible, so he nodded quickly.

It was still cold at night, so Leng Ping half-covered the pit with an oilcloth, and then went back to rest with Hao Shi.

It was so late, so of course Li Jiu couldn't be allowed to go back. It happened that Shi Shi and Hao Ren were not at home, and there was a big space above Hao Dan's kang, so Hao Shi let Li Jiu rest at Hao Dan's place for the time being.

With the dim light, Hao shi gently laid holes for Li Jiu, for fear of waking Hao Dan up again.

Li Jiu stood by the door in embarrassment, watching the woman's back flickering under the light, he couldn't help feeling a little sentimental.

It's been two years, the girl has been away for two years, and no woman has laid a kang for him in these two years!

Li Jiu was feeling deeply, and now Hao Shi had already stepped into the pit, looked at the shirt he was wearing, and said in a low voice, "It's too dirty, take it off and I'll wash it for you, and put it by the stove , I will do it tomorrow!"

Li Jiu was taken aback, and quickly waved her hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just like walking on the mountain, I'm a big man..."

"Take it off!" Hao said in a low voice, her voice was gentle, but there was an undeniable force in it.

Li Jiu had no choice but to touch the button on her neck.

Hao Shi hurriedly turned her eyes away and went out, stood at the door with her back to Li Jiu, and said in a low voice, "Just take it off and put it at the door, I'll pick it up later!"

Li Jiu quickly agreed.

After the oil lamp in Li Jiu's room was extinguished, Hao Shi stepped forward, took Li Jiu's shirt and went to the main room, poured a basin of cold water, sprinkled straw ash on it, and rubbed the clothes.

Swish, swish, and the sound of laundry was rhythmic.Occasionally, the wind rushes in through the crack of the door, and the oil lamp shakes.

Li Jiu was lying on the kang, listening to the sound of washing clothes, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Maybe he really should find another woman!

Li Jiu stayed at Hao's house for three days, and every night she accompanied Leng Ping and the others to go up the mountain to catch scorpions. Thanks to Li Jiu, Leng Jiu found many good places that even Cao Dazhi couldn't find, so During the two days, the number of scorpions caught at night also increased greatly. In the last night, almost [-] scorpions were caught.

Leng Ping divided the [-] scorpions into five large pits to raise them, because the temperature was still low after the sting, and although the scorpions began to recover, their mobility and digestion were not strong, and feeding too early often made the scorpions indigestion, so Feed once every five days.

The news that Leng Ping raised scorpions at home quickly spread throughout Taiping Village. Everyone was shocked and frightened. What if the scorpion ran out and stung the child? In the end, Yu Xiuman and the elder of the rich family went to Hao's house again to talk about Xiang.

On this day, Leng Ping was feeding the scorpions for the first time. The worms grown with straw were already plump. Leng Ping threw the worms into the pit.

Hao Shi and Gou Sheng Niang watched from a distance, they were afraid when they saw those crooked things, so only Yuan Kui and Hao Dan could help.

"Is Hao's sister-in-law at home?" After a while, the door was opened, and Yu Xiu stuck her head in with a full face of vigilance. The house is now full of scorpions that can sting people to death!

As soon as Hao saw that it was the village chief who came to the door, she hurried forward to meet her, and then saw that the elders of the rich clan were behind, she felt that there must be something wrong, so she hurriedly asked the leftover mother to make tea.

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, you guys are..." The old man and the village chief looked at Leng Ping leading Yuan Kui and Hao Dan to work from a distance, and stepped forward cautiously, looking at the hooked bugs on the straw , the clan elder immediately bent over and vomited.

"Clan elder, don't look, come, come in and drink some tea!" Hao said hurriedly.

The elder of the rich clan hurried into the house.

Yu Xiuman had to see the scorpion to be reconciled, and if he really saw it, then he would be able to say the next thing!

Yu Xiuman approached the pit cautiously step by step, and suddenly stretched out his head. At this moment, more than a dozen scorpions suddenly crawled out to look for food. Yu Xiuman was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost squatted on the ground.

My God, this Hao family is really raising scorpions!

Leng Ping also found Yu Xiuman at this moment, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Village Chief, why are you free?"

Yu Xiuman glanced at Leng Ping, with some displeasure in his frightened expression, and said earnestly, "Daughter-in-law Hao Ren, come in, uncle has something to tell you!"

Leng Ping asked Hao Dan and Yuan Kui to continue feeding, and followed Yu Xiuman into the house.

In the room, the old man drank a bowl of hot water, and just after the nausea passed, seeing Yu Xiuman bring Leng Ping in, he snorted and sat upright, as if to start a lecture.

"Uncle, sit down!" Hao Shi moved a bench for Yu Xiuman.

Yu Xiuman just sat down.

Hao Shi didn't dare to sit down, and accompanied her carefully, but Leng Ping pulled her to sit down.

"Daughter-in-law Hao Ren, you have not been married to our Taiping Village for a long time, and you are also the daughter of a big family before, so there may be some things you don't understand!" The old man cleared his throat and began to lay the groundwork.

Hao quickly took over the conversation and said: "Old man of the big family, Leng Ping has been married for two years, not a short time, but she is still young after all, if there is something wrong, you just say it, just mention it, and I will let you She changed!"

The elder Dazu nodded, obviously very satisfied with Hao's attitude, "Recently people in the village are panicking, do you know why? It's because of your scorpion. You said that you have heard that there are chickens, dogs, and scorpions. What is a scorpion? You have lived in Taiping Village for several years, and you should know that that year, Zhang Zizi’s baby in the village was stung to death by a scorpion. Do you remember? What a dangerous thing, this weekday Seeing that it is too late to run fast, it is better for you to take this thing home, just in case a few of them escape, this..."

Yu Xiuman also said: "Now several families have come to me to look for it, saying that your family is afraid of raising scorpions. Sister-in-law of the Hao family, this junior is ignorant, so you can take care of it. How can you let her mess around? I know that Master Ruan is no longer in the city, and Hao Ren's wife can't go to the pharmacy. Your family's life is a little worse, but no matter how bad it is, look at this big tile house and big yard, and it's better than everyone in the village. Right? There's no need to take the risk!"
