Chapter 264 It’s Impossible to Be a Child Bride-in-Law (7)

However, the next day when a group of people went up the mountain to see the scene, they found that there were many broken trees, and some were broken directly by violence, so someone suddenly remembered, "I heard the roaring thunder yesterday, could this be possible?" Was it caused by thunder?!"

"I also heard thunder, but it was muffled thunder. Why did it break all the trees?"

"Could it be the thunder god's disaster!"

"No way, it seems like the Chinese New Year is about to happen, why does something like this still happen?"

"It's not like this has never happened in the past. What's the fuss? Hurry up and check to see if there are any fires, and put them out, so you don't have to turn around and burn your ass again! "

The village head saw that everyone was going to be crooked, so he quickly ordered everyone to disperse.

But what was surprising was that when they were patrolling the mountain, they actually found three burnt corpses. When the village chief counted them, he found that these three people were not from their village.

This became a major event, and then I went to the county government to invite the policeman to come, only to find that the three people had died before the wildfire came, and judging from the wounds on the bodies, each All were killed with a single knife, two had their throats cut, and one was stabbed through the heart.

At first I thought it was just a simple wildfire, but I didn't expect that three tragic dead bodies appeared, and it was escalated into a criminal case.

But because the government seemed to have a verdict on the deaths of these people, they dragged the bodies away and let the village digest the news. The village chief knew that this kind of case was usually a major one, and they could not mess with anyone from a small family. I got up, so I ordered the people in the village to stop wandering around in recent days.

If you want to go out, it is best to go together, and you must report suspicious people, etc.

When everyone heard it, this was going to cause trouble. It wouldn't be some Jiangyang gangster who came to their village to kill people in evil ways, right?This is amazing, you have to protect your own family well.

Because the government suppressed the matter and the village chief also gave an explanation, the matter spread quietly in the village, but because nothing special happened, everyone relaxed their vigilance a little.

When it came to the twelfth lunar month, the pigs in Wang Qigou's family were fed fat and strong.Five senior brothers, he kept two sows, sold two, and slaughtered the first year pigs for himself. On the day the pigs were slaughtered, he invited many people from the village to eat pig dishes at home. Some people saw the tenderness of the pork, I couldn't resist buying some for him.

Most people are very envious of the Wang family's harvest this year, thinking that they will do the same in the next year?
Afterwards, under Zuo Xiaole's suggestion, Wang Qigou bought nearly [-] catties of grain with the money from selling two senior brothers and some sweet potatoes. Most of them plan to feed chickens, ducks and piglets, and the life of the Wang family seems to be prosperous.

Years ago, someone mentioned the matter of the charred corpses on the mountain. After the new year, the beginning of spring will start to plant the spring, and everyone will have no time to spare. At this time, Wang Qigou first went to buy three little pigs After returning to feed the piglets, I went to Lin Town to find a pig breeding specialist, who came to breed my two sows. At the same time, I made a lot of construction work at home and expanded three pig pens.

Previously, because the Wang family had collected several thousand gold sweet potatoes, they originally planned to sell them all, but now Wang Qigou and his wife decided to raise pigs at home to make money, so they planned to use these sweet potatoes to feed the pigs. They found that using sweet potatoes Feed pigs, pigs grow very fast.

With this idea in mind, at the beginning of spring, the family planted all the land into sweet potatoes. It was probably because the Wang family benefited from doing so in the first year, so this year, some people followed suit and planted sweet potatoes at home. Most of the land is planted with sweet potatoes.

In March and April, when Panax notoginseng can be divided into seedlings for planting, Wang Qigou's family has been busy for a while.After the Panax notoginseng seedlings have fully landed, it will be time for the sows at home to give birth.

Two pigs gave birth, one gave birth to nine, and the other gave birth to eleven, which made Wang Qigou and the others very happy. But it was at this time that everyone discovered that God hadn't rained for nearly a month , because there was such a situation a few years ago, but everyone didn't pay attention to it, but now this situation is getting worse.

People are fine, even if the water level in the well drops, the impact will not be too great, but the crops will not work, such as grains, if there is no water, then the production will be severely reduced, or even no crops will be harvested. The most important thing is, After a long drought, there will be a plague of insects. This is what the ancestors said, and it can be regarded as a summary and summary of the advancement of human civilization. It is hard to believe.

And this kind of situation exists in the whole country, and it is not just in Wangjiawan, but the good thing is that more than half of the people in Wangjiawan have made money this year because of the farming model of Wang Qigou's family. Qian also followed suit. All the sweet potatoes in the fields are extremely drought-tolerant. If there is a drought, the impact will not be particularly large. It is really lucky!

The village chief smoked dry tobacco for everyone's meeting. Although his brows were frowning and his face was full of sadness, his family has also planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year. If there is a drought at that time, he is not so afraid.

This day, Zuo Xiaole, like Wang Xi, still went to the pond to release ducks. Because Wang Xi is getting older, and his personal responsibilities are becoming more and more obvious under Zuo Xiaole's training, his learning situation has improved a lot, at least now Give him a book, and he can read most of the characters.

But in contrast, his writing ability is a little bit worse. After all, if you don’t practice brush calligraphy, it is still a bit difficult to write well. But in his opinion, as long as he can understand the brush calligraphy That's enough, why do you have to write it for others to read and understand?
What he said was quite reasonable, so Zuo Xiaole didn't care about him, but he seemed to be very talented in Chinese medicine. Zuo Xiaole first told him about herbs, and then told him some medical principles and pharmacology. , His understanding is very fast, and Zuo Xiaole often wonders whether he has also opened a cheat or something.

Now they would talk on paper from time to time. Zuo Xiaole mentioned a disease and asked Wang Xi to diagnose it. Sometimes Wang Xi was able to diagnose it correctly, and sometimes he couldn’t. But this is not a long-term solution after all. Treating diseases has gained a bit of fame in the village and even outside the village.

But because of their young age, not many people actually come to see them for medical treatment. Many of them are unable to find them because they are poor, look down on doctors, and cannot get medicine.

But because the two have also cured many people, people really come to see them for some strange illnesses these days, but most of the time Wang Xi is watching from the side, and Zuo Xiaole will also treat some simple illnesses. Let him get started, under such training, his growth is not small.

"Master, why do we catch grasshoppers?" Zuo Xiaole asked Wang Xi to catch grasshoppers.

"Eat!" Zuo Xiaole took a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth to enjoy the shade under the big tree. It was only late April, and there were already grasshoppers unexpectedly. It seemed that the drought could not be escaped, and the insect disaster would come as scheduled. And if there is a plague of insects after a severe drought, there is a high possibility that a plague will break out.

Although in Yang Wan's memory, the place where the plague broke out was not in their village, but there were still a few, and the specific location was not in her memory.

"Eat, eat??" Wang Xi was surprised, can this thing be eaten?It looks so disgusting!

"Why not? Let me tell you, remember it. Grasshoppers are sweet, pungent, and warm in nature. They can invigorate the spleen and eliminate food, relieve wind and convulsions, relieve cough and asthma, clear the meridian and activate collaterals. Why can't I eat it?"

After talking about plant medicinal materials, Zuo Xiaole planned to start talking about animal medicinal materials to Wang Xi.

"Huh? Ahh? Grasshoppers are actually medicinal materials?!" Wang Xi was surprised, and immediately turned the disgust of seeing grasshoppers into a sense of novelty, good guy, then you should catch more.

"Yeah, grasshoppers are still very nutritious, like malnutrition, whooping cough, bronchial asthma, coughing, shortness of breath and so on. It's sure to be fine if you eat them. Hurry up and catch more."

"Come on!" Wang Xi said, the world is amazing and his master is amazing.

When he returned in the afternoon, Wang Xi caught a big bag of grasshoppers.

"...The wings and feet are cut off like this. Hurry up and clean up everything here." Zuo Xiaole showed Wang Xi how to deal with grasshoppers, and then went to the mountain behind to find Zhang Chrysanthemum.

Because there were more piglets at home, Zhang Juhua didn't have so much time to take care of the chickens. There were only a dozen chickens out of the original 30. When Zuo Xiaole went to find her, she was shoveling the chicken poop into the house. At the same time, this is fertilizer for Panax notoginseng.

"Hey, Xiao Wan, you're all back? Wait a minute, eat when your father comes back, don't come up, go down quickly, there's a lot of chicken shit here, be careful if you step on it!"

After that incident, the Wang family's life became better and better because of Zuo Xiaole's suggestion, and Zhang Juhua's attitude towards her became better and better, and now she can't wait to find a shrine to offer her up.

"I think we have a few chickens that want to hatch eggs again, right?" Zuo Xiaole glanced at the chickens running on the hillside and turned around and asked Zhang Juhua.

"Isn't it? Hey, I can't lay eggs, so I'm very sad when I think about it. But I plan to sell the chicks this time to Aunt Wang and the others in the village after they hatch, and it will be another income at that time." Zhang Juhua said sideways, The movements of his hands continued without stopping.

"Let me see, is it about to hatch?" Zuo Xiaole asked.

"Hurry, just these two days!"

Zuo Xiaole stood there for a while, and Zhang Juhua quickly cleaned up and took her down the hillside.

When I came to my yard, I saw Wang Xi squatting at the laundry table, not knowing what he was doing, and when I got closer, I saw that he was picking up a lot of grasshoppers, "Oh, my son, what are you doing with this dead thing? ?”

"Get it to eat, mother, you don't know, Miss Xiaowan said it is a good thing, it is also a good medicinal material, it can cure coughs and help digestion, I don't know why there are so many grasshoppers this year, I just caught one I caught so many in a short while, you go about your business and leave me alone."

Zhang Juhua wanted to say something, but when she heard the pigs in the pigsty howling, she really couldn't care less about her, and hurried to feed the pigs with pig food.

Zuo Xiaole was not idle either. She went to the stove and boiled a large pot of boiling water. When Wang Xi finished processing the grasshoppers, her water was also boiled. After scalding it twice, Wang Qigou also came back from the notoginseng field at this time, and was startled when he saw the grasshoppers they had made in a pot.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Xigang threw the removed grasshopper legs, feet, and wings on the hillside behind to feed the chickens. When he came back, he heard Wang Qigou's question and explained it to him happily. At this time, Zuo Xiaole answered: "Tonight Extra meal, stir-fry grasshoppers!"

"Can this stuff be eaten?" Wang Qigou was very skeptical, but when the grasshopper was on the table.

Wang Qigou: It smells so good!

After the family had finished eating, Wang Qigou also thought about what he found in Sanqi today, "I think the locusts this year are really serious. It's only April, and there are already all the locusts on the mountain at this time. I'm afraid there will be some disasters." It's ahead!"

"I think these grasshoppers are delicious. I'll catch some tomorrow. They are also medicinal materials and can be dried and sold!" Zhang Juhua said casually.

"I think it's a good idea, and we can mobilize the villagers who are okay to help catch the locusts." Zuo Xiaole continued.

"Hey, then I'll go to the city tomorrow and ask if this locust can be used as a medicinal material!" Wang Qigou sold Sanqi and sold experience, and he got into Qian's eyes in an instant.

"I think it will work!" Zhang Juhua also got in together.

"And we can let chickens eat grasshoppers, and let people help catch grasshoppers to feed chickens. Don't we have a lot of eggs and duck eggs at home? We can use eggs for grasshoppers to feed chickens and ducks. You can save money." It takes a lot of effort to get feed for chickens and ducks every day, and chickens and ducks grow meat quickly after eating grasshoppers, and they can be sold right out of the cage, which is very cost-effective.”

When Zhang Juhua and Wang Qigou heard this, they thought about it carefully in their hearts, and felt that this idea was really good. Now that there were many things at home, Zhang Juhua was very busy most of the time.

But if she really doesn't want to raise chickens or ducks, she can't bear it anymore. Anyway, there are a lot of eggs and ducks at home, and these days, she can't spare time to sell them in the town. It's a lot easier!

Zuo Xiaole didn't say anything and let them go. The next day Wang Qigou went to the city early in the morning, and Wang Xi went back early in the morning to catch a pot of grasshoppers. This was Zuo Xiaole's request. he went.

"... Anyway, there are a lot of grasshoppers. How many can we catch? We can't finish it, so I made some and gave them to your friends to try. They have nothing to do anyway. Catching grasshoppers to eat can be beneficial. Physical and mental health, isn't it?"

Wang Xi felt that what Zuo Xiaole said made sense, so he caught grasshoppers and stir-fried them for a few of his friends. They thought Wang Xi was hungry and crazy, but after trying the taste, Everyone thinks: OK!
I didn't expect this thing to be edible, and it was so delicious!
Under Wang Xi's temptation, many children in the village joined the ranks of catching grasshoppers. When Wang Qigou came back, he said that someone actually collected grasshoppers and asked Zhang Juhua to pay some money so that the villagers could help them catch grasshoppers. The money was to be collected, and word spread quickly.
