Chapter 3
Rhubarb came home before dinner, and Xiaoxiang muttered: "Smelly dog, he doesn't work all day long, runs around all over the mountains, and comes back when it's time for dinner. It's good to kill and eat meat, so as not to waste rice."

"Xiaoxiang," Lin Jiadong said in a low voice, "don't do this to Dahuang. Dahuang is a good dog. With him before, we never got lost in the mountains."

"Then what else can he do now besides finding the way and looking for living animals to feed, and he won't go into the mountains with you, it's useless at all." Xiaoxiang muttered in a low voice.

Lin Xiaoning made the dinner, and Xiaoxiang was in charge of lighting the fire. Lin Xiaoning was a 30-year-old girl in her previous life, and her cooking skills were acceptable. The brown rice and cabbage were made with space water. The rice was not astringent, and the cabbage was sweet.

Mr. Lin said: "Madam Ning, how about some delicious roasted food today?"

Brother Lin said: "It's delicious, and the cabbage is sweet."

Xiaoxiang and Xiaobao didn't say anything, they just kept their heads down and ate.

Rhubarb's broken pottery bowl, which contains vegetable porridge at noon and rice at night, and some cabbage soup is added into it, and the rhubarb is eaten clean.Gone again.

Mr. Lin sighed, alas, this rhubarb, he went to look for living things again.

Lin Xiaoning wanted to laugh, he had never seen such an interesting dog.

After dinner in Taocun, every family in the village would rush out the door and then go home to rest. It was like this in the countryside, with no entertainment at all.

The Lin family lives in the west of the village, close to the mountains and far away from the villagers. They seldom walk around with the villagers. As night falls, they can hear insects chirping. Lin Xiaoning hurried back to the house after tidying up the yard and kitchen, still thinking about that space.Suddenly, Xiaoxiang screamed excitedly: "Brother, hurry up, kill him quickly..."

Lin Xiaoning rushed out of the house, and saw a small pool of blood in the middle of the yard, a palm-sized mountain mouse with its legs on its back, its head smashed to pieces.

It turned out that Rhubarb took the mountain mouse back and nursed it as a baby!Lin Jiadong and Lin Xiaoxiang were caught and killed with a hoe.

Rhubarb was on the side, with extremely sad eyes, and then sadly returned to the firewood room.Lin Xiaoning looked at Rhubarb's back and was speechless.

Xiaoxiang happily picked up the mountain mouse: "Tomorrow, let's roast it and eat it. The meat of the mountain mouse is delicious. Xiaobao, there is meat to eat!"

Lin Jiadong laughed and peeled off the skin of the mountain mouse with his bare hands.

Seeing the bloody, pink mass, Lin Xiaoning was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit, and her brain exploded: What kind of family is this, except for the grandfather who is normal, the bloody elder brother, the sister who eats mice, and the stupid brother who is stupid , and a dog that feeds mice like babies!
At night, Lin Xiaoning hid in her room and secretly shed a few tears, her heart was filled with ashes.

================================
On the second day, Lin Jiadong went to the city early in the morning to sell game for rice, and Mr. Lin went to the mountains.

Lin Xiaoning couldn't get up on the bed, looking desolately at the dilapidated earthen house, the wooden bed boards, the straw padding, and the patched thin quilt, this is the best quilt in the whole family, and it was covered for her. How do you live?No, I want to get rich right away. I go to practice medicine and see a doctor, and grow some medicinal materials in the space. I can earn two dollars!
Xiaoxiang stood cautiously at the door and asked, "Second sister, are you hungry? Get up and have some porridge."

Lin Xiaoning shook her head: "Xiaoxiang, let me ask you, is there a doctor in the village?"

"Yes, the village chief is a doctor, and the villagers come to him for any illness."

"How much does the village chief charge for seeing a doctor?"

"It doesn't cost money, just give a few vegetables."

"Don't medicinal materials cost money?"

"Medicinal materials don't cost money. They are on the mountain. If you have any disease, the village head will tell you which kind of herb to pull. Pull it back and show the village head if it is right. You can cure diseases by boiling and drinking water. Let me tell you, what to eat As for the medicine, a bowl of rice will cure all illnesses. Second sister, why do you ask these things, you know all these things, second sister, second sister..."

Lin Xiaoning jumped up and ran to the yard to fetch water to wash, and said vaguely: "Xiaoxiang, pack up, take Xiaobao, and follow me into the mountain."

There are really herbs on the mountain, but they live in the wild. They are all common herbs such as honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, purslane, eclipta, gentian, etc., which can clear away heat and detoxify.Farmers rarely take medicine, and most minor illnesses can be cured with herbs.No wonder it can cure diseases by drinking boiled water.Lin Xiaoning also picked some, without damaging the roots, and dug them out with soil. These will be transplanted to the space for planting. If they can grow in the space, they can be exchanged for money, which is also an income.

Xiaobao followed them silently. His body needed some warming and tonic herbs, but none of these were suitable. Let's see if there are others.

Going further inside, I found mushrooms!Although it was only a small piece, Xiaoxiang took a clean light after a few strokes, and said happily: "Second sister, I am lucky today. It is usually hard to find the outside of this thing. Once it grows, it will be picked by someone. Let's go tonight." I can make soup."

Just make a soup with these few plants, alas.This little incense, three words can not be separated from eating.Lin Xiaoning smiled wryly.

They also picked some finger-sized strawberries and distributed them to Xiaoxiang and Xiaobao. They dug up a strawberry and put it in the basket. There were not many products around, but all rare things like edible fruits were taken away. The children who went up the mountain to collect firewood lit up.Lin Xiaoning was a little disappointed. If he really wanted to find something good, he might have to go into Zhongwei. The place is deep and he is afraid of getting lost. Next time, he will bring rhubarb.

Before you knew it, it was noon, Xiaobao seemed a little tired, his face was slightly blue, Lin Xiaoning didn't eat in the morning, and now his stomach was growling with hunger, so he picked up some firewood, pulled a few wild vegetables, and brought Xiaoxiang Xiaoning Bao is back.

At noon, Xiaoxiang insisted on eating the mountain mouse that was killed yesterday, but Lin Xiaoning refused to do it, so Xiaoxiang built a small pile of firewood in the yard and roasted it. Xiaoxiang is a natural foodie, but whenever she eats, she is very nimble. Seeing Xiaoxiang and Xiaobao eating with gusto, the porridge that Lin Xiaoning had just drank in his stomach began to churn again.Taking advantage of her lunch break, Lin Xiaoning sneaked to the firewood room to get a shovel and a hoe, and slipped into the space. Lin Xiaoning was not good at planting, so she dug a small hole like planting flowers, planted grassy branches in it, and poured some water again. I took a very small mushroom from Xiao Xiang’s collection. She doesn’t know how to grow fungi, so she poured some space water like planting a flower. I don’t know if it will survive, but let him live. It’s a good thing to live. I don’t feel bad if I don’t live. .

Lin Xiaoning stretched her waist, no wonder the farmers worked so hard. After squatting for a long time, her waist was really sore.I jumped into the lake again and took a bath. The temperature of the space is warm, and the lake water is also warm. The acid swelling all over my body was washed away. This space is really a treasure.Lin Xiaoning clapped his hands and laughed, and then with a flash of inspiration, he immediately went out of the space, filled the big kitchen tank with space water, and asked Xiao Xiang to light the fire.Alas, I always ask Xiaoxiang to boil water, so I have to study hard in the future.

Boiled a large pot of space water to bathe Xiaobao. Xiaobao's thin and pale body stood in the wooden bathtub in the yard, which made people feel distressed. Lin Xiaoning took the wooden ladle and kept pouring hot water on Xiaobao's body. , Not long after, Xiaobao's complexion turned rosy.

Lin Xiaoning asked: "Xiaobao, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiaobao shook his head.

Ask again: "Is it comfortable?"

Xiaobao nodded.

After about a quarter of an hour of washing like this, Xiaobao was wiped dry and carried out.Xiaobao seemed to be in good spirits. Lin Xiaoning was very happy. After bathing in the lake in the space twice, he felt very refreshed. The water for bathing Xiaobao was still the spring water in Shitan, so the effect should be better.

After tidying up the bathtub, Lin Xiaoning smiled and carried Xiaobao back to the room, and asked softly:
"Xiaobao, can you understand what Second Sister is saying?"

Xiaobao nodded.

"Do you like Second Sister?"

nod.

"Then kiss Second Sister."

Xiaobao still nodded, without any movement.

But Lin Xiaoning was already very satisfied.
