Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 91

Wang Dashan's foot was injured, but Zhao Min's injury was almost healed, he stayed in the wooden house all day, and had nothing else to do, so Zhao Min thought about what to do.

Finally, after thinking about it for two or three days, Zhao Min still decided to go to the mountain to see if there were any good herbs based on his familiarity with herbs.

As soon as her idea was brought up, Wang Dashan strongly disagreed with her doing so.

"Sister, there are a lot of beasts in this mountain. I'm really worried that you go by yourself. How about I go with you when I recover from my injury?"

Zhao Min thought more about it, and felt that this was also a problem at the moment, so he compromised a bit, but he still stood firm in his decision.

"It's okay, I'm just looking around here to see if there are any herbs. I remember two days ago when I went to find that black bear with you. We passed a slope, and the herbs there were very dense."

For Zhao Min's determination, Wang Dashan knew that persuasion was useless, so he acquiesced.

The next day, before Zhao Min left, Wang Dashan gave her a dagger and carefully told her: "Use it for self-defense when necessary. Of course, if something goes wrong, run back quickly and don't be brave."

Zhao Min took the dagger from his hand and put it in his hand, feeling heavy. In fact, it was not only the dagger that precipitated, but also Wang Dashan's kindness to her.

"I know, Brother Wang, I'll just go for a while, and I'll be right back."

Zhao Min came to this small hillside following the memory of the last time he came. Sure enough, there were some herbs that he could use. He didn't dare to delay, so he acted immediately.

Although it is late autumn now, Zhao Min doesn't know if there are any wild beasts in the forest that haven't hibernated. Wasn't the black bear last time an exception?
Fortunately, Zhao Min's luck was not bad, and after quickly picking some herbs, he returned to the wooden house smoothly.

Zhao Min found a piece of cloth from the house, spread it in the yard, poured all the herbs he picked on it, squatted on the ground and began to pick.

Wang Dashan came out with a cane, sat on the small bamboo chair next to her, and looked at her: "Sister, I didn't expect you to know so much."

Zhao Min smiled modestly, and the two started chatting. Zhao Min inadvertently asked, "Brother Wang, why did you name yourself Dashan?"

I saw Wang Dashan waved his hand indifferently, "Isn't this living on the mountain? My father named him Wang Dashan at that time, and there are many people surnamed Wang in this area. There is a Wang Family Village at the foot of the mountain. , Dashu, these are all common names.”

"Oh? There is a Wang Family Village at the foot of the mountain?" Zhao Min caught this information point
Wang Dashan nodded: "Yes, sometimes I lack some daily necessities, and I will go to the foot of the mountain to buy them, and I will use the hunting things to go to the village to exchange for something."

Zhao Min nodded lightly to show that he was listening to what Wang Dashan said, but he didn't speak any more, thinking about other things in his heart.

In the next few days, Zhao Min would go around to gather a lot of medicine, and the medicine material covered half of the yard.

After a week, all the herbs were dried, and Zhao Min spent a few more days to use the dagger, then made a holder out of wood, and made a simple guillotine to cut all the herbs into different categories. put away.

But in the process, Wang Dashan's foot injury is almost healed, at least there is no problem with basic walking.

The foot injury just healed a little, Wang Dashan couldn't wait to pick up his own bow and arrow, and wanted to enter the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhao Min, who was tinkering with medicinal materials, quickly got up and ran to his side: "Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

Wang Dashan patted the bow and arrow on his back: "Because it's not fully winter yet, I'll go up the mountain to hunt some prey, and go to the foot of the mountain to exchange for other things."

Zhao Min stretched out his hand to grab Wang Dashan's arm, and smiled softly: "I have an idea in my mind, why don't Brother Wang accompany me for a walk?"

Wang Dashan showed doubts: "Where is the girl going?"

"I want to go to Wangjia Village." Zhao Min looked at Wang Dashan firmly.

Wang Dashan was puzzled: "Does my sister need something? If I need something, I'll just go and change it."

Zhao Min didn't speak any more, turned around and walked towards the place where the medicinal materials were hanging out. Only then did Wang Dashan realize that she had wrapped all the medicinal materials she had been working on these days in pieces of cloth.

Zhao Min wrapped these small bags with a big bag and carried them on his back. Seeing that Wang Dashan was still in the same place, he stepped forward to take off the bow and arrow from his back, ran to the house to put them away, and then ran out again: "Brother Wang, accompany me to the foot of the mountain."

Wang Dashan led Zhao Min to Wangjia Village at the foot of the mountain. Obviously, Wang Dashan often came to Wangjia Village to exchange things. He met several people on the way and greeted him.

But Wang Dashan just answered that in a lukewarm manner, and those who greeted him didn't mind, as if they were used to his indifferent temperament.

On the way here, Zhao Min had already told Wang Dashan about his thoughts, and planned to see a doctor to earn money.

Wang Dashan told her everything he knew: "This Wangjia Village is not rich in the first place, and people with minor illnesses are usually reluctant to spend money to see a doctor. Sister, this way will not make money."

Listening to his report on the real situation, Zhao Min didn't feel sad at all: "It's okay, I didn't intend to collect money from them, it's just a hobby, I'm very happy to help others, of course, if If you can get some rewards, that would be the best."

Infected by the smile on Zhao Min's face, Wang Dashan couldn't help being a little stunned, and stood where he was.

After Zhao Min walked more than a dozen steps, he realized that he hadn't followed, so he walked back and touched him twice, and Wang Dashan came back from his trance.

"What's wrong? Brother Wang?"

Wang Dashan shook his head gently: "It's okay, sister, you are right, let's go, brother will take you to Wangjiacun."

After the two came to Wangjiacun, Wang Dashan did not blindly obey Zhao Min's words, and he rejected all the ideas of selling on the street.

Wang Dashan directly led Zhao Min to a house, knocked on the door a few times, and after hearing footsteps inside, Wang Dashan pushed the door open: "Village chief."

Only then did Zhao Min know that Wang Dashan had directly led her to the head of Wangjia Village.

"It's a big mountain, ahem, I haven't seen you come to the village for a long time."

The man in front of him, with gray hair, a white beard, and a cane, came out of the house tremblingly, accompanied by some coughing sounds from time to time.

"To be honest, the village chief, I have something to discuss with you this time, and I may need your help." Wang Dashan cut to the point.

Upon hearing this, the village chief pointed to the room: "Okay, ahem, go to the room and talk."
