Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 7 Help
"I... I'm too lazy to argue with you."

The scholar blushed, turned around, and quickly stuffed the clothes that had been thrown out.

Then he pulled the two stunned little guys behind him, "Let's go to the cave in front to get a foothold."

Uh, a cave ride!

Han Chuxia looked up suspiciously, and saw that these guys were really going to the cave at the foot of the mountain ahead.

Grandma also came out now, and when she saw some scholars, she also frowned and said with a sigh. "The scholar is the eldest child picked up by Lao Lei in our village. Good people are rewarded. Not long after picking up the child, Lao Lei's wife who had not conceived for a long time also became pregnant. The two young ones are Lao Lei after he did good deeds. biological children.

When Lao Lei was still there, the child had received some education, and the family conditions were good at that time, but since Lao Lei was gone, the child lived alone with his widowed mother and two young siblings. .Last year, I heard that I married Xianggui from the village.Now... Guess what, Xianggui is dead!kicked out..."

Uh, Xianggui, Lei's family!
It sounds so complicated.

"Well, Xianggui's family is barely rich in our village.

Xianggui is also the only daughter in the family, so it is inevitable that her family will love her.It's a pity that fate is also a bad thing. Since she was a child, her body was weak, and no one dared to say goodbye.

When he was 19 years old, he became seriously ill. The family was afraid that the girl would not be married and her soul would not be reincarnated, so they gave Lei Shusheng, who was down and out at the time, and wanted to recover from his illness with a bookish anger, or after death, he could also recover It's a scholar's wife.

It is said that even if Xiang Gui is dead, the tombstone of Lei Chen's family can be erected for the marriage made with 20 taels of silver.

It's a pity that the 20 taels of silver did not return the life of the scholar's widowed mother. After he was buried, the scholar came to the house and became the son-in-law of the Chen family.Now... probably the girl left, and the scholar's family was kicked out. "

That's right, the scholar of affection sold his life for 20 taels of silver to save his mother, so he is also a filial man.

"I heard that Xianggui was going to die a few years ago. Now that the scholar is born, needless to say, he is gone. The Chen family's fathers have long disliked the brothers and sisters of the scholar. The daughter is gone, of course. Drive people out."

Grandma is just guessing, but it's pretty close.Obviously, the scholar's brothers and sisters are also poor.

When cleaning the pigs into the water, Han Chuxia confirmed that the three brothers and sisters, the scholar, really lived in the cave here.

There are no caves in the village. Now the caves here can barely accommodate people as long as some firewood is kept outside.

At lunch time, Wan Shi hurriedly brought his five younger brothers and sisters.As for Father Han?
"Your father has a lot of things to do, so he can't leave. I said big girl, you really added a lot of food? Mother told you, don't waste it too much. You and Gouwa haven't eaten yet. What will happen? What are you messing about..."

Wan's swearing continued, and the five younger siblings stared curiously at the pot of stewed pig she brought out and swallowed their saliva.

"Mom, let's have dinner first. I'm just lucky. I exchanged some money. In the future, life will be better. Let's eat first today. Didn't my brothers and sisters feel hungry, especially Xiao Liu? Even more hungry swallowing."

Wan Shi took a look, it's not so, the children in his family were all staring at the big bowl of offal on the table and swallowing their saliva.Immediately, he tugged Gouwa, "Boy, let's eat."

It was said to be pork offal, but Han Chuxia also cut some pieces of meat and put them in it.

The other pork head meat was also marinated with salt and smoked.

The home is far away from the city, so it's not easy to cut meat to buy things, so Han Chuxia wanted to turn the meat into bacon.

"I'm talking about big girl, you're getting meat and smoked meat all of a sudden, how much money are you getting now?" Wan's was very dissatisfied with Han Chuxia's behavior, and kept frowning.

Han Chuxia put a bowl of offal soup and brown rice into Wan Shi's hands together, "Mother, you call my father back, he must not have eaten. Well, my life will be fine, you just Don't worry about it."

Seeing her like this, Wan Shi didn't say anything more in the end, and turned around to leave with a few children.

However, the second girl and the third girl were not happy to go home.

"Mom, let's cut pigweed here, and make sure to bring back pig food at night."

When Wan Shi came home, the two younger sisters chattered around Han Chuxia non-stop.She didn't need to ask any more questions before telling the story of the scholar.

"Scholar Lei is also a hard-working man. Xianggui went there yesterday, and father Xianggui told him today that he would sell the brothers and sisters for the money they spent in the past few years. In the end, the scholar had no choice but to sell the family's money. The private land and the old house were all given to Lei's family, so he took Xiushui and left Lei's family in Chengnan."

They were really kicked out, and they came out with nothing left.This time, the scholar's family was also worried when they thought about it.

When it was getting late, Han Chuxia saw the little girl Lei Xiushui from the scholar's family, picking a lot of wild fruits and vegetables to the entrance of the cave, and after a while, there was some thick smoke and fog.Obviously, this family lived for the sake of living.

Lamenting the poverty of life here, Han Chuxia began to toss her own chili sauce.

Hudou beans are weighed, boiled first, and then peeled.Finally, sprout the petals in a dark place, and wait until long yellow hairs appear, then dry them in the sun and make chili sauce.

However, at this time, she had to pick some more peppers.Therefore, in the next few days, Han Chuxia will take her baby to the mountains to pick wild peppers.

Time passed by in a hurry, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these ten days, the brown rice I bought earlier was eaten for only three days.

As for the chili sauce, it will take some time to make it.Moreover, what is worrying is that the chili sauce is not necessarily sold.Therefore, there is still a serious problem in front of us - food!

"Poor, I have to find a way to make money, otherwise, what will I eat in three days?"

Looking at the vast mountains, looking at the little baby beside me playing with the bugs on the ground carelessly, Han Chuxia is worried.

"Agaric fungus, chili sauce, do I really want to set up a sewage stall on the street?"

It's definitely not okay to set up a water stall alone.

embroidered?

she won't.

Spinning, neither.

Sell ​​recipes?
Her modern recipes are not bad at all in the restaurant.

Only then did Han Chuxia truly realize that the reality is really cruel.

"I must find a way to get rich."

In the end, Han Chuxia's eyes fell on the mountains in the distance.Tomorrow, maybe we can go deeper into it.Although, the villagers say that there are tigers, lions, and some big guys in it.However, in order to survive, she can no longer be idle like this.

"I still know medicinal materials, so... it is feasible to go into the mountains and find some medicinal materials."

In modern times, thanks to the family business of her grandfather who is a Chinese medicine doctor and her father who is proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, she still has a little understanding of pharmacology.In the past few days, it's not that they haven't looked for medicinal materials outside.

It's a pity that there are not many decent medicines out there, and some are just simple medicinal materials.

"Last time I inquired, the pharmacy actually buys medicinal materials, but it must be moxibustion. Fortunately, girl, I still know medicinal materials. It's just that starting tomorrow, the baby can't be brought into the mountain. "

When I went down the mountain and passed the cave of the scholar's brothers and sisters, I heard a mournful cry from inside.

"Brother...brother..."

Her footsteps stopped for a while, and finally, after a hard struggle, Han Chuxia turned around, scooped two large bowls of brown rice from home, mixed with some smoked meat, and sent them to the cave entrance together. After throwing a stone, she turned and left quickly.

In the cave, Lei Chengfeng, who was battered by his younger brother's fever, came out after hearing the noise, and saw a large bowl of rice and meat.

With a slight movement of his heart, he slowly bent down and picked up the food.

"Third brother, we have something to eat, and you will be fine after a while."

Perhaps it was because of meat and food that Lei Chengnan, who had a fever, gradually subsided after eating.

Seeing his little brother's fever go down, Lei Chengfeng was relieved, but also felt more and more worried.

"It seems that the only way I can go is to enter the mountain."

Staring at the direction of the deep mountain, Lei Chengfeng gritted his teeth and began to sharpen his hatchet.

I heard that there are a lot of wild animals in the mountains, that Xiao Yiwen makes a living by hunting, he can do it, he... can do it too.

When the genius was bright, Lei Chengfeng started to go into the mountain.

Han Chuxia also entrusted the baby to grandma after dawn, and set off into the mountain with a sickle.

The trousers were tied up, and the sickle was worn extremely sharp.

After going deep into the five mountains and looking at the sun, it was almost noon when Han Chuxia came to a valley.I walked around habitually, and after getting a general understanding of the terrain, I began to look around for the plants in this area.

"There is Eucommia here! This is a good thing, we must pick more. And this plant, what is this flower with branches, ah, it's not a flower, what is it? It's actually an aniseed maple, angelica... this is?"

When seeing the thing with several horns, Han Chuxia became excited.

"Star anise, star anise! There are actually star anises here, haha, this is a really good thing. This valley is a treasure land, definitely a treasure land."

Star anise, not only can be used as medicine.

More importantly, it can be used as seasoning.

Nearby, there are actually several octagonal trees.

In other words, if she sells the star anise, she can get back a lot of food.

Thinking of this, Han Chuxia excitedly started picking.

"Help... help..."

However, an untimely cry sounded from the left.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a burst of rumbling hooves followed...

When Han Chuxia saw the body of the patterned leopard approaching swiftly, Han Chuxia's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp.

"leopard……"

"Run, run, run..."

The person who came running was none other than Lei Chengfeng, the most famous scholar in the village.

Han Chuxia picked up the sickle and ran towards the cliff ahead.

When she came here, she also explored this area specifically, knowing that there was a hole there, her thought at the time was: could there be treasures in it or something like that.

Now it's time to hide inside.

"Help……"

Lei Chengfeng ran fast, perhaps because he saw someone, at this moment, he ran even faster^
