The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 25

Shi Chuying's jade box is about three inches long, two inches wide, and one inch high.

By evening, the three had collected about five boxes.

For a box of this size, a big man needs to be smeared all over his body, and there must be a certain thickness. These five boxes may not be enough for one application.

Seeing that the sky is getting dark, it is not enough to call it a day.Shi Chuying led the two of them stumbling around for half an hour, and finally found the wooden house.This is also one of the places where Shi Chuying settled down.

The wooden house is built under a few huge old trees, and the tall and dense branches and leaves cover the sky densely, making the wooden house less exposed to wind and rain.

Pushing open the door of the wooden house, I haven't been here for a few months, and the place is still very dry and clean, no wild animals, insects, rats or the like have been entered. It is obvious that the medicinal powder sprinkled by Shi Chuying is still effective.

For long-term stability, Shi Chuying sprinkled insect repellent powder and moisture-proof dry powder again.

During this period, Chu Xu looked at the wooden house.The wooden house is built with large split wood planks, and the gaps between the planks are tightly sealed by something like tree oil.The wooden house is built with a herringbone-shaped spire, covered with grass, with protruding eaves, and no windows. It is estimated that there are fears of wild animals rushing to the windows to attack.

Next to the inner wall is a half-foot-high low couch, which occupies most of the room, and there is a stove and several small tanks in the remaining open space.A row of simple cabinets with simple living utensils on them.

"Both of you, go fetch water alone," Shi Chuying pointed to a small jar, "The water in it is no longer drinkable, so pour it out first, there is a small river not far behind the house, where to fetch water." Zhang Cang automatically Pick up the small jar to fetch water.

"Take these...to wash." Shi Chuying pointed to the pots, pans, ladles and spoons to give instructions, and Chu Xu picked up a box of tinkling earthen jars to wash.

Shi Chuying cleaned the low couch by herself, took out two quilts from the cabinet, patted them, and spread them open.

For dinner, Shi Chuying cooked a pot of rice with the rice stored in the wooden house. Chu Xu caught two big fish in the river. chicken.He even dug out a small jar of apricot blossom wine and drank it to dispel the cold.

Chu Xu glanced at Shi Chuying very much, and said to himself, this girl is really big, how dare she give wine when she is with a man at night?

Fortunately, there is not much wine, so two or three glasses per person will be gone.

There is wine and meat for chatting, Chu Xu and Zhang Cang also let go, and asked about their daily life of collecting herbs, feeling that it is very difficult and dangerous to live and sleep in the open, and to face such ferocious animals and even plants.

Knowing that Shi Chuying has a master and grandfather who is nearly [-] years old, and has already planned not to go to the mountains frequently in the future, but to live in the village, I agree.

It's too dangerous for a girl's family to enter the mountain, and it's really hard work!

Although it is already summer, the night in the mountains is still very cool.

Shi Chuying asked Chu Xu to burn a few pieces of fire-resistant pine wood in the stove pit, and surrounded it with stones to prevent the fire from escaping.This makes the room much warmer.

Shi Chuying tore a quilt and threw it to the two of them, wrapped herself in the quilt with her clothes and fell asleep.

Chu Xu, however, could not sleep with his hands on his pillow, staring at the roof in a daze, thinking about his own thoughts.

Dongping County King Chu Zhao was assassinated this time. I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional. If it was a coincidence, it would be fine. If it was the latter, then someone in the country must be collaborating with the enemy, or pretending to be a Japanese?Either way, I'm afraid it will be a bloodbath.

However, it was not up to him, a third-class bodyguard, to worry about these things, but he was still a relative, and his grandfather repeatedly urged him to do his best.

Having said that, this girl Shi looked at her methods of doing things, and she was extremely vindictive, and she would never be soft-hearted.The way she walks freely in the mountains and forests is so agile and comfortable, she really looks like a mountain elf, a fairy in the sky!

Her brows were dark and bright, and she was a little heroic. Although she didn't stare at the girl's face carefully, she knew that face as white as jade, her moist red lips, and those eyes that were truly bright and kind!
Thinking of this, Shi Chuying's smiling face jumped out, and she couldn't shake it off... As a result of this, when she woke up the next morning, Chu Xu had two dark circles under her eyes.

"Didn't you rest well? Well, I slept soundly, and this room is really warm..." Zhang Cang said after seeing Chu Xu's dark circles when he washed up by the river in the morning.

Chu Xu responded vaguely, glanced at Shi Chuying, and found that she was long gone.

After a few people had breakfast, filled with boiling water and food, they went out again.

They went a little further this day, but their luck was not as good as yesterday, and they only shoveled a box in the whole day. What's more, it was raining heavily in the mountains near the evening!

It was too late to find a wooden house, so the people had to temporarily pick a few big leaves to protect them from the rain, wandered around, and finally found a big tree hole to hide.

There used to be some forest dwellers living in the tree hole, Shi Chuying lit a piece of insect repellent incense and threw it in, the thick herbal smoke was released, and after a while, many snakes, rats, insects and ants, big and small, escaped from the tree hole. The "residents" of this kind took a whole stick of incense to dissipate, and Shi Chuying sprinkled the powder in the tree hole and around it.
