After all this tossing and going up the mountain again, it was already afternoon, Jiang Ling picked a lot of wild mushrooms along the way, and all the valuable ones were sold in the system mall, leaving most of the soup for the night to be bad-looking or worthless .

As he walked, Jiang Ling was suddenly attracted by a patch of green plants not far from the cave.

"This...is this mint?" Jiang Ling walked to the green plant, picked a plant and took it under his nose to smell it. In summer, Jiang Ling felt a bit of coolness.

She looked at the patches of mint grass around her, and a thought floated out of Jiang Ling's mind.

Although Jiang Ling has the blessing of the system mall, Jiang Ling does not dare to use the money earned in it as daily expenses in a fair manner. After all, she is a village woman with nothing now, and as long as she spends a little bit of money, she will attract people. other people's suspicions.

For a while, Jiang Ling also had the idea of ​​starting a small business, but because she couldn't find a suitable business opportunity and there were so many things going on recently, the idea of ​​doing business was temporarily shelved by Jiang Ling.

Now seeing such a full patch of mint grass, Jiang Ling immediately realized that his chance had come.

She remembered that in modern times, she liked to drink peppermint water every summer to keep her life alive. The cool and refreshing feeling was not to mention how comfortable it was, and it happened to be hot again, so she believed that her peppermint water would definitely sell well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling quickly put down the basket, squatted down and began to dig mint around.

As the sun set, Jiang Ling stopped what she was doing and looked at the small half of the mint basket on her back. Jiang Ling wiped off the dirt from her hands with satisfaction.

left the mountains.

Before Jiang Ling reached the door of his house, he saw the village chief and Jiang Yaojie seem to be talking about something.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling quickly walked up to the two and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Jiang, I'm here to discuss with you what to do tonight. I see that it's getting dark, we should implement the plan earlier." The village chief said.

When the village head said this, Jiang Ling remembered that there was still an operation to "catch the thief" at night, and motioned Jiang Yaojie to take the back basket in, and asked, "Have you informed other people about the village head?"

"Not yet, I don't think this matter should be made a big fanfare, as you said, it would be bad if they found out, I plan to notify four or five honest people in our village, and go to the back mountain to guard today, but..." Speaking of this, the village chief paused, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Village chief, do you mean to let me go with you?" Jiang Ling asked.

The village chief was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows subconsciously and said, "Jiang Shi, you...how do you know."

"Village chief, don't worry, I'll make a meal for the children, and I'll go find you!" Jiang Ling smiled and did not explain.

"Okay... okay, let's meet at the back of the mountain in half an hour." The village chief gave Jiang Ling a meaningful look.

As soon as Jiang Ling opened the door, he saw four children surrounded by his basket.

"Mother, what are you doing picking these "spicy herbs"?" Jiang Wenxi looked at Jiang Ling curiously and asked.

"Spicy grass?" Jiang Ling repeated in confusion after hearing this.

"Yes, mother, what are you doing with these "spicy herbs"? This stuff smells so bad! It's not delicious! A while ago, my eldest sister and I came to dig wild vegetables and didn't dig this! This spicy herb is the last choice. Only choose to eat it!" Jiang Wenxi said with a disgusted expression.

"Yes mother, this thing is everywhere, unless we can't find wild vegetables, otherwise we won't touch it." Jiang Suihe echoed.

Jiang Ling was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Mint to be so disgusted in this day and age.

"Well, sometimes this "spicy herb" is not necessarily used for eating, but can also be used for other things!" Jiang Ling smiled and took out a mint plant, picked the mint leaves and crushed them in her hands.

He called Jiang Wenxi who was on the side to come over.

Jiang Ling gently applied the crushed mint to Jiang Wenxi's temples, and Jiang Wenxi's expression changed immediately.

"Mom, why do I feel cold?"

Jiang Wenxi's words aroused the curiosity of the other three children. They all came to Jiang Ling's side, looked left and right, and looked at Jiang Wenxi.

Jiang Ling smiled and continued to take out the mint grass and rubbed it on the temples of the three children respectively according to the method just now.

"Wow. It's amazing!" Jiang Suihe exclaimed in surprise.

"Well... so comfortable." Jiang Yaojie narrowed his eyes to enjoy the short-term coolness.

"Oh, it's fun!" Nian Ci rubbed his temples with his hands, and put his finger under his nose to smell it.

"It's amazing, there are even more amazing ways to do this thing, but mother has something to do tonight, so mother will make it for you at noon tomorrow, okay?"

"it is good……"

"Mom, what are you doing tonight? I heard the village chief grandpa tell you what plan he has?"

Jiang Yaojie's words surprised Jiang Ling secretly, she never expected that Jiang Yaojie's ability to detect words and emotions had reached this point.

Jiang Ling knew that she couldn't hide it from Jiang Yaojie, so she simply told Jiang Yaojie what happened in the morning.

Jiang Yaojie was quite shocked when he heard this, he subconsciously covered his mouth and blinked and said, "Mom, count me in for this matter!"

Jiang Ling shook his head and refused, Jiang Yaojie murmured in frustration, "Why, is it because I'm not from the Lu family?"

"Silly child, this is an adult's business. You are still a child, this is very dangerous!" Jiang Ling explained patiently.

"Mom, I'm fourteen this year, I'm not a child, I... I don't want to hurt my mother!" Jiang Yaojie seemed to have summoned up a lot of courage to say this.

"Silly boy, don't worry, mother will protect you!" Jiang Yaojie's words warmed Jiang Ling's heart.

After Jiang Ling talked for a while, Jiang Yaojie made sense, but Jiang Yaojie was still a little bored.

For dinner, Jiang Ling made a mushroom soup with the leftover mushrooms, grabbed a few handfuls of white flour mixed with buckwheat noodles and baked a few buckwheat cakes, and made a cold potato shreds with potatoes. It was simply a dinner for a family of five.

After eating, Jiang Ling told the children and walked towards the mountain alone.

Before walking to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Ling saw the village chief and a few men holding torches and looking around.

When the village chief saw Jiang Ling, he waved his hand to signal her to come over quickly.

A group of people quickly walked to the side of the cave, and Jiang Ling let them disperse and hide around, waiting patiently for the two people from Dahua Village.

The sky darkened quickly, and a crescent moon rose slowly, and the shadows of the surrounding trees looked eerie and ghostly.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, only the sound of gurgling water could be vaguely heard.

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, a strange cough made everyone's hearts hang again.

The village head quickly made a silent gesture to everyone, signaling them to hide so that no one would find out.

"Brother...you can see clearly, is there really no one?"

"It's him!" Jiang Ling was overjoyed when she heard the male voice, which was exactly the same as what she had heard before.

"Don't worry! I've been exhausted from the past few days in Lujiacun, I guess I'll lie down and fall asleep early!"

"Brother, is it a bit inappropriate for us...we...to do this?"

"Not suitable? Tmd, fifth child, it is suitable for these grandchildren to build canals privately? Huh! Today I will poison all your crops to death!" The man took out a pack of medicinal powder from his arms.

"Press them!" Jiang Ling stood up fiercely and shouted at the man who was about to open the powder.
