Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 18
"Hmm~" Zhao Min kicked his legs under the blanket, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a magnified face.

"what!!!!"

After seeing that it was Gu Po, Zhao Min patted her chest, "Gu Po, you're going to scare me to death in the early morning!"

"Bah, bah, bah! On the first day of the wedding, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Min also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly said "Pah, peh, peh".

Inadvertently glanced at it, and saw Mrs. Gu standing in front of the bed holding a thin, short bamboo pole. Zhao Min was startled. Could it be that she did something wrong again?

Regardless that she was only wearing her underwear, Zhao Min quickly jumped off the bed, walked to her side, and hugged her arm affectionately, "Gu Po, do you have something to tell me?"

Gu Po snorted coldly and waved the bamboo pole in her hand.

"You don't even look at what time it is, but you're still sleeping here."

Although she is now Gu Lingqing's wife in name, she is actually a little maid.

Zhao Min immediately stood still and made a gesture of salute, "Understood, Mrs. Gu, I will never do it again in the future."

Gu Po was amused by her appearance, and within a second, she coughed twice and recovered her serious expression.

"Quickly get up and tidy up, the young master has gone out, and you are still sleeping here, what a shame!"

"Going out?"

Gu Po took it with a stern look, Zhao Min quickly covered her mouth, nodded, and ignored the question, "Understood, I'll clean up the house right away."

After Zhao Min packed everything up, she saw Mrs. Gu going out with a basket on her back.

"Gu Po, are you going to collect medicine again?"

Gu Po turned around and told her: "You take care of your home."

"Gu Po." Zhao Min called her eagerly, and stepped forward, "I'll accompany you to help you too!"

Just as Gu Po was about to refuse, Zhao Min quickly said, "You know, I have some knowledge about this, and I can definitely help you!"

The young master has something to go out today, and he probably won't come back until evening, thinking that Zhao Min is fine at home, so it's better to let her go with him.

Gu Po had an idea in mind, "There is a pannier behind the kitchen, let's carry it and go together."

"Hey!"

With Gu Po's consent, Zhao Min happily agreed.

Zhao Min was carrying a small basket on her back, and followed behind Po Gu, despite her advanced age, she was very nimble in her hands and feet, if it wasn't for Zhao Min's good physical fitness, it would have been a bit difficult.

After entering the mountain, he turned left and right, and after passing a cave, his eyes suddenly opened up, looking at the surrounding wide valley, birds singing, and lush plants, Zhao Min thought he had gone to the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, of course, This place is devoid of any human habitation.

"Gu Po, you actually found such a place, I've never seen it before!" Zhao Min admired from the bottom of his heart.

There is no such a place in the original owner's memory, which shows how hidden this place is.

Gu Po couldn't hide the smile on her face, and her tone was quite proud, "I also discovered this place by accident, and it is unknown to outsiders."

Zhao Min looked left and right at this place, and there were butterflies flying by.

Seeing that he was playing off, Po Gu quickly stopped, "Don't forget what you are here for today."

Zhao Min stopped immediately, and walked to Gu Po with her small pannier on her back, "Gu Po, what kind of medicine do we need to pick today?"

"Let's find some Scrophulariaceae first."

Gu Po was about to tell Zhao Min about the main characteristics of Scrophulariaceae, when Zhao Min ran away, pulled out a plant, and sent it to Gu Po, "Here."

Gu Po was slightly surprised, and looked at Zhao Min with a little admiration in her eyes.

"Prunella."

"Change beans and vegetables."

"Big periwinkle."

Gu Po talked about several kinds of herbs one after another, but Zhao Min found them all exactly.

"Gu Po, why are you picking herbs to stop bleeding?" Zhao Min handed the big periwinkle flower to Gu Po and asked casually.

"You all know their curative effects?" Po Gu's words were no longer as alienated as before.

"know."

Just kidding, I am a doctoral student of traditional Chinese medicine, can this little problem be difficult for me!
Gu Po nodded approvingly, "Okay, I'll pick these few things today, hurry up and pick them."

After Zhao Min got the order, she carried a small grass basket on her back, and walked through the valley in a very happy mood, feeling like a little girl picking mushrooms.

Seeing her jumping figure, Gu Po didn't say anything to stop her for the first time, and it was also the first time Gu Po felt that Zhao Min was still useful.

My own cognition in this aspect is also slightly involved, and it was also after accompanying the young master to the countryside that the young master was injured from time to time, and I also slowly explored, and only then did I understand some methods to stop bleeding and some herbal medicines.

The knowledge in this area is not good at all. I didn't expect Zhao Min to be so thorough in the research of Chinese herbal medicine.

"Okay, it's alright."

Gu Po looked at the herbal medicine house in the two people's back baskets and stopped Zhao Min after a few days of usage.

The two of them were indeed picking faster than themselves alone. In less than an hour, the two of them came out of the valley and walked towards the entrance of the village.

From a distance, I saw many people around the door of Gu's house, very noisy.

Zhao Min felt suspicious, this Gu family was originally located at the west end of the village, far away from other courtyards, why is it so lively today.

Zhao Min and Gu Po looked at each other, and then squeezed in from the outside of the crowd. Everyone saw that the master had returned, and quickly made way for them.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Zhao Min pinched his waist and shouted at the crowd, "Who did it? Get out by yourself, don't wait until I catch him, I can't spare him."

Gu Po's complexion was not good-looking, but after all, she didn't have Zhao Min's pungent temper.

The whole person silently saw that the gate of his house was splashed with blood, and eight words were written on the gate: Unfilial to Zhao Min, ungrateful.

After hearing Zhao Min's question, the others all shook their heads, expressing that it was not themselves.

When Zhao Min beat Zhao Mazi violently in the market, there were people from the village onlookers.

After returning from the market that day, Zhao Min's viciousness spread throughout the village, and even neighboring villages heard that there was such a powerful woman in this village.

Now that she is so angry, whoever dares to say no more is asking for trouble.

Zhao Min was also short-tempered for a while. He only saw dog blood, but didn't look carefully at what was written. Seeing that no one recognized it, he turned his head and carefully looked at the words on the door. Seeing these eight characters, Zhao Min suddenly Just "blowing beard and staring".

If Grandma Zhao and Zhao Xiu'e hadn't done this, my head, Zhao Min, would have been screwed off.

Seeing so many people around her door to join in the fun, Zhao Min angrily said, "Let's go, what's there to see."
