Chapter 8

1983 Words
"How is my father?" "Sigh, Fu Gui is ill." "This..." Li Jianlan didn' t understand. Zhou Zhihuai sighed." In the early years, I suffered heartache from my stomach. I often spit out blood and urticaria. I also take medicine all year round to forcefully suppress it. It will cause great damage to my body. In the future, I will eat more supplements like ginseng and velvet antler. If I don' t work hard and don' t do heavy work, I' ll be able to live a few more years." Li Jianlan understood. This ginseng, velvet antler, and other precious medicinal ingredients were worth thousands of gold. Even a wealthy family wouldn' t have them. However, Wen Xifu had to eat them frequently and couldn' t work. This wasn' t a sickness of wealth, what was it? Li Jianlan was silent for a while before asking," If you find these precious medicinal ingredients, how do you want them for your father? "Is it chicken stew or medicine?" Zhou Zhihuai looked at the ugly and fat woman in shock. Those things were hard to find. Ordinary people were terrified when they heard this. However, she had a calm expression and a confident tone, as if she could really get them...... Where did she get the confidence? Li Jianlan saw through his thoughts and said," The little woman knows that it's very difficult to obtain these things, but there's nothing difficult in this world. I think that we might be able to fight with all our strength!" The Wen Zhihuan's eyes, which had been silent the entire time, suddenly widened as he looked at her in disbelief." You really think so?" Li Jianlan had a natural expression on his face." Of course! He was our father. He had worked hard for most of his life and his body had collapsed. We naturally had to cure him." Her expression was sincere and natural, completely unlike a disguise. Wen Zhihuan's heart was greatly moved. He looked at her thoughtfully, unable to say a word. Wen Xifu heard the conversation of the people outside clearly in the room. While he was deeply moved by his daughter-in-law's words, he was also afraid of the determination that was revealed in her words. He shouted angrily through the door," Third daughter-in-law, do n' t talk nonsense. What ginseng and deer antler are we able to afford? Even if he didn' t want my cheap life Yama he wouldn' t die so easily! Zhou doctor, don't listen to her. I do n' t want to drag my family down even before I die. I..." He was furious, causing a series of coughing. Hearing the constant coughing inside, Li Jianlan was frightened and hurriedly made a sound-blocking motion. …… Zhou Zhihuai still stayed for dinner. In the past, the staple food on the Wen family's dining table was porridge. It was rare to cook brown rice tonight. The dishes were even richer. A bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a bowl of dried radishes, a bowl of cabbage and a basin of chicken soup. These dishes were personally cooked by Li Jianlan. They were even more delicious than usual, making the Wen family people who had not smelled the smell of meat for a long time feel satisfied. After dinner, Li Jianlan sat down and chatted with Zhou Zhihuai. Only then did he think of asking him," Oh right, what's the matter with you when you arrive at that wild mountain range?" When this matter was mentioned, Zhou Zhihuai's expression was a bit sad." To tell you the truth, one of my older brothers suffered from lung disease and often coughed up blood. I made a pill, but I lacked a pill. I asked all of my colleagues and herb collectors about it and didn' t find it. I could only make a trip to the mountains myself. Who knew that he would return empty-handed. "Sigh!" "What medicine is it? Would it be convenient for you to say it?" When he thought of the herbal medicine Li Jianlan that basket, Zhou Zhihuai eyes lit up. His tone was filled with anticipation," It's Wild Seven Fields. Do you have it?" "I ……" Li Jianlan opened my mouth to say something. When I saw the old man staring at her, I intentionally dragged the end of my words to the old man." I..." "You little girl, do you really have one? Just say something straightforwardly. You' re too anxious to death!" Zhou Zhihuai heart grew anxious. The nickname "girl" popped out of his mouth. Seeing Wen Zhihuan gaze swept over, Zhou Zhihuai said with hatred," Big nephew, don' t just stare at this old man. Look, your wife, a mischievous ghost, even teasing an old man. Isn' t it too bad?" Wen Zhihuan hugged Li Jianlan thick waist and kissed her forehead. He said happily," My wife is the best. Don' t try to sow discord." Zhou Zhihuai hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand," Aiyo, hot eyes! "It's really like the world is changing!" Li Jianlan was stunned. He, he, he kissed me? Could this, this, this progress be too fast? She had only known him for two days...... "Wife, do you really have Seven Fields? "Let's give it to Zhou doctor. He' ll confiscate my father's medical fee." Wen Zhihuan cried out in unison. Li Jianlan had a big red face and ran into the room. He pulled out that Seven Fields from his basket and handed it to Zhou Zhihuai. "Alright, alright, alright!" Zhou Zhihuai was so excited that he said a few' good' words before slowly saying," I heard that the wild Seven Fields grew in the Bewitching Butterfly Valley. However, the poison was rampant there, and miasma pervaded the air. For hundreds of years, no one had been able to survive from there, so this Wild Seven Fields was extremely rare. Girl, you actually picked one from the periphery of the mountain. This was really good luck! What was even more rare was that this stalk, stalk, leaf, and flower were all preserved. Its medicinal properties could be displayed to the greatest extent. Girl, you really deserve to be an expert in picking medicine." Medicine picking skill? Since when had she learned to identify medicinal ingredients? Why hadn't she heard from her family? Wen Zhihuan looked at his wife suspiciously. ###Chapter11 Li Jianlan hurriedly interjected," It's getting late. You should also leave, otherwise it's too late for you to enter the city!" The villagers wanted to enter the city, but they were hitchhiking at the ferry. Otherwise, they could only use their legs. Zhou Zhihuai took out his purse and said," Not busy. Come, girl, this Seven Fields old man will give you twenty ……" "Don' t. I have no intention of selling this Seven Fields. If you want it, I' ll give it to you." Hearing that it was worth more than twenty taels, Li Jianlan also felt a bit of pain. However, the old man had confiscated his father's medical fee in advance, so she naturally couldn' t accept his money. Otherwise, she would have been stabbed by someone else. Zhou Zhihuai had a stern expression on his face." Girl, this isn' t possible! "You' re the one who came here after so much trouble. If you want to sell it elsewhere, perhaps others will give you more than that price." At this moment, Wen Xifu walked out with a cane. His expression was sincere." Old brother, although this thing is expensive, it's not of much use in our hands. If we sell it, if we don' t understand the market, we might even be tricked by the medicine shop. "Furthermore, the third daughter-in-law didn' t use much effort to obtain it. Right now, you urgently need it. Just accept it." "Then we can' t take it for free..." Zhou Zhihuai was in a difficult position. Li Jianlan thought for a moment and said," How about this? Zhou doctor, my father's legs have always been weak. Please help him take a look." "There's no need. My legs are very good. I just lost some strength." Wen Xifu hurriedly walked towards the house with his walking stick. This year, Wen Xifu's legs, groin, and even the yin region were filled with pus. He thought that he had some dirty disease and didn' t dare to look for doctor. He didn' t even say anything about it. Instead, he just randomly collected some cool and detoxified herbs to apply it. When the pain was unbearable, he ruthlessly pierced through the pus and squeezed the pus applying the medicine. However, if Zhou doctor were to see him, the people of the younger generation would definitely know that if news spread, he would have no face to see anyone. No, we must not let them know! Wen' mother used to think that Wen Xifu's path was strange of his weak body. Seeing his flustered expression, he immediately became suspicious. He winked at his two sons." Xuan' er, Huan' er, your father's legs are not feeling well. Why don' t you help him in and rest?" The two brothers naturally understood and entered the room with Wen Xifu. Wen Xifu couldn' t help but struggle and curse, but he couldn' t hold back the strength of his two sons. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhou Zhihuai announced the results of the diagnosis and treatment." Old Brother Wen, there's a medicinal ingredient that's poisonous. His illness has been cured, but the poison of the medicinal ingredient has been left behind. If it's a bit later, it won' t just be his legs, it will also cause his entire body to rot." This frightened the entire family and thanked Zhou Zhihuai with great gratitude. "No need to be so polite." Zhou Zhihuai prescribed a prescription," Tonight, I' ll find someone to go into the city with me to grab the medicine. Old Brother Wen's leg...... "This is truly too serious. It will be painful and painful to drag on for another day. I wonder how he endured it in the past." That night, Wen Zhihuan followed Zhou Zhihuai into the city to grab medicine. Li Jianlan that large basket of herbs had also been bought by Zhou Zhihuai. Afraid that she would not want any money, he said to return to the city and give it to Wen Zhihuan. He also promised that he would collect all the medicinal ingredients she would collect in the future. This made Li Jianlan very excited. However, she had left behind some of the medicinal ingredients. There was no doctor in the mountain cormorant. Rich people would go to the town to invite them. As for the poor, if they were sick, they would just randomly get some earth cubes to eat. Otherwise, they would be waiting for death. She wanted to make some simple cold-removing and detoxifying pills in case she needed them. She washed the ingredients one by one, chopped them into pieces and dried them. Night fell. She had been busy for the entire day and was almost exhausted. Her clothes all smelled rotten. The weather was extremely hot, and she was too fat. As long as she moved, she would be covered in sweat. She originally wanted to wash the cold water, but the smell of sweat and cold water on her body could not be washed away, so she quickly went to burn the bath water. When he put on his clothes to cool down in the courtyard, he discovered that the entire courtyard was filled with large water ants. She quickly patted the Wen' mother's door," Mother, mother, there are many large water ants in the courtyard. It's likely going to rain these two days. Should we take back our family's millet?" Today, the grains were still piled in the courtyard, covered with rice. "Foolish child, the Water Ant flew for many days. It's about to rain long ago. Not to mention, our family only had a little grain. Even if it really rained, they would still have time to accept it. "It's too late. Hurry up and sleep." The Wen' mother's voice was vague and filled with a sense of sleepiness.
