Chapter 15 Finding Herbs Yourself
early morning
When I woke up, they were already up.
I am the only one who wakes up the latest every day.
Looked at the room and saw no one.
Lying down again, his consciousness returned to his house.
When I opened my eyes, I immediately looked at the note on the shoe cabinet at the entrance.
There are still only the words I left on it, no one else's.
Isn't it what I thought?
Then I went to the study to see the cabinets I had installed plaster on.
There were still only two bags of plaster inside.
It seems that the things in this house are limited and will be gone once they are used.
It will not be added automatically like other spaces.
There aren't many things in my room, and they are not enough for me to use.
Feeling a little disappointed, I immediately went back to my room.
Open your eyes and fold the quilt on the bed.
Go out to the kitchen to get some water to wash up.
In the morning and evening, there is porridge with side dishes.
After dinner, Song Jiang was still weaving winnowing baskets, and Xiao Wu helped him.
This kind of winnowing basket is relatively quick to weave, and I can make several in a day. Thinking that I will need it in the future when raising silkworms, I asked my elder brother to weave more.
I took my second brother to the mountains to pick some herbs, as my eldest, second and fourth brothers in the family needed them.
Because I found some herbal medicines that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis in the mountains that day, I didn’t think of buying some at the pharmacy yesterday.
I happened to pick some today.
Also, we have eaten all the wild vegetables at home.
It is impossible to only eat what is grown in your own vegetable garden, otherwise you won’t be able to eat it all.
Just go pick some.
Song Ming and Shen Xia each carried a backpack and went out.
When I went out, I happened to meet Aunt Liu from next door.
Seeing that Shen Xia had recovered, Aunt Liu comforted her, "Shen Xia, the Song brothers are all good people. Don't be anxious. Get to know them slowly and you will find their good points."
Shen Xia could feel from her eyes that Aunt Liu must have a good relationship with the Song family. When everyone was laughing at the joke that day, she was the only one who spoke up for the Song family.
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Liu for your advice. I understand. I will live a good life in the Song family."
"That's good. Where are you going? We don't have many vegetables at home. My second brother and I are going to the mountains to find some wild vegetables."
"Oh, so that's it! You guys go ahead! But be careful. We have a lot of vegetables in our garden. I'll pick some for you later."
Shen Xia thanked: "Thank you, Aunt Liu, but it's not necessary, we can go out and find something ourselves."
"What's the big deal? We're neighbors. If we don't finish the food, it will go bad anyway." Aunt Liu said
"Okay then! Thank you Aunt Liu." In the end, I had no choice but to agree. I felt embarrassed to reject someone's kindness. If my family has anything in the future, I'll just keep it in mind.
Shen Xia and Song Ming left together.
Along the way, Shen Xia asked, "Second brother, does our family have land?"
"I used to have some, but later I sold them all and only had two acres left. Then I sold the last two acres to marry you, and now I have nothing left." Song Ming whispered, afraid that Shen Xia would dislike him.
Shen Xia thought about the time difference. Seeing her sons growing up one after another, Song's mother thought about selling the land first. After all, the two of them could still make some money.
Marry a wife first so that you can have descendants.
Who knew that the second child was injured again, making the already poor family even worse off.
The point is that the daughter-in-law who was married at a high price committed suicide within two days.
It's a complete waste of time.
Fortunately, I came here, otherwise you can imagine what this family would be like.
Although the boss can recover, no one knows what he will be like after recovery.
As for why he sought treatment from Song Ming instead of Song Jin and Song Jiang.
The main reason is that Song Ming is easy to fool.
Song Jin and Song Jiang are both relatively smart and it is impossible for them to trust themselves.
The only way is to cure Song Ming first and make them trust me before I can take action.
As for the fourth child, he definitely can’t wait.
But the fourth child would take medicine every day, so I would feed him the medicine every day and secretly give him acupuncture.
Shen Xia thought for a while and replied: "It's okay, we can earn money on our own in the future, and I believe our lives will get better and better."
Song Ming's eyes also lit up and said: "Okay, Xia Xia, I'll go to the dock to carry big bags after my arm is healed. Although it's a bit tiring, the pay is high."
Shen Xia looked at Song Ming seriously and said: "I don't agree. When your arm is healed, you have to stay at home and help me make money. I don't want you to get hurt again. If you get hurt again, it may not heal."
When Song Ming heard this, he felt that Xia Xia was reluctant to let him work so hard, and he was very happy. Xia Xia was so nice to him.
The two walked to the foot of the mountain and saw mushrooms everywhere but no one was picking them, so Shen Xia picked them all.
This time Song Ming didn't say anything, because he saw Xia Xia eating last night and ate some too.
There is nothing wrong with my body.
Having fun picking mushrooms with Xia Xia.
You can meet some people when you go out.
"Second Brother Song, come and pick wild vegetables too!" Looking at the boy in front of him with patches all over his body, he should be younger than Xiaowu.
"Yes! Xiaotian is also looking for wild vegetables," Song Ming asked.
"Um"
"Is your grandpa feeling better?"
"No, I'm still coughing badly," Xiaotian said sadly.
"It's okay, everything will get better one day." Song Ming comforted.
After saying that, he followed Shen Xia's footsteps forward.
"Who is that?" Shen Xia asked curiously.
"There is a poor family in the village, the Chen family, with only one old and one child in the family. Xiaotian's parents and grandmother have all passed away, leaving only the two of them to depend on each other," Song Ming said sympathetically.
Shen Xia looked at Song Ming with sympathy.
He shouted to Xiaotian at the foot of the mountain: "It's not safe for you to be alone, come with us to find wild vegetables!"
"Is it okay? No one else in the village likes to be with me, saying that I'm born to be a loner," Xiaotian asked.
"Don't listen to what they say. Life and death are determined by fate. Just follow them." Shen Xia said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xiaotian said with a smile.
Song Ming was also very happy, Xia Xia was always so kind.
Along the way, Shen Xia taught Xiao Tian which mushrooms were edible and which were not, as well as some wild vegetables that he could eat in modern times.
People don't eat it at this time.
Xiaotian hesitated because everyone in the village knew that mushrooms were not edible.
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Xia said, "Look, I have a lot of mushrooms in my basket, dozens of kinds, and not all of them are edible. Don't pick mushrooms when I'm not around."
"Besides, we already ate these yesterday. If you don't believe me, ask your second brother Song."
Song Ming looked over and said, "It's okay, these are not poisonous."
"Okay." Xiaotian believed what Brother Song said. Although he was not familiar with Shen Xia, he was familiar with Brother Song!
In the past, Brother Song often helped himself and fetched water for us.
If you go a little deeper into the mountains, you will find more medicinal herbs.
Shen Xia said to Xiaotian: "Just now, you said that your grandfather had a very serious cough."
"Yes," Xiaotian answered doubtfully.
"Has it always been like this, or has it just started happening recently?" Shen Xia continued to ask.
"Half a month."
"Do you have phlegm in your throat?"
"Have".
"Can you cough it out?"
"able".
