Chapter 45: Misfortune only seeks out the poor

Hu Xiaocao looked at the woman cautiously, her expression was a little lost, and she pursed her lips, "Mom, I couldn't find the medicinal herbs that Grandpa Wu said, and I couldn't cure your illness completely. Am I very useless?"

All the adults present felt sad when they heard this, and even a few senior men couldn't help but have red eyes.

This girl Xiaocao is really too sensible.

At the age when a child should be innocent and immature, she took on the burden of life too early and put it on her extremely thin shoulders.

While other children were having fun in the mountains and fields, Hu Xiaocao had already lifted up the bench, stood on tiptoe, and started cooking on a stove higher than her.

The woman couldn't bear it anymore, her sobs turned into soft sobs, and her big tears fell on Hu Xiaocao.

Hu Xiaocao noticed a warmth on his shoulders, and then realized that the woman was crying, and hurriedly comforted her:

"Mom, don't cry, Grandpa Wu's medical skills are so good, he must be able to think of other ways to cure you."

Hu Xiaocao felt that someone had patted her on the shoulder, and turned her head to see that it was Wu Yuan.

"Little grass, what is this?"

He shook the plant in his hand. The white petals were like stars, and the leaves were slightly jagged, which was exactly the same as the one she had drawn in the previous picture.

Hu Xiaocao's eyes widened, as if seeing something strange.

"This, this is evening primrose! Grandpa Wu, where did you find it! I searched for it on the mountain for a long time, but I didn't see it."

Wu Yuan touched her head and said, "Silly girl, I found this on your hand."

Hu Xiaocao's round eyes were like black grapes hanging on a tree, and her fleshless little face actually looked a bit cute now.

She pointed at herself and said in disbelief: "You found it on me? Grandpa Wu, I didn't pick evening primrose."

"That's right, you were holding this plant in your hand when you were unconscious."

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

Hearing Wu Yuan's description, Hu Xiaocao froze in place for an instant, remembering that when she was about to fall, she kept waving her hands, as if she was grabbing something.

Could it be that the plant I grabbed at that time was evening primrose!

The mountain god she saw at that time was not far away, and she kowtowed and worshiped the wild fruits she had picked.

Could it be that because she saw her sincerity, the mountain god appeared and guided her to find the evening primrose?

In fact, all this was just an accident, but Hu Xiaocao couldn't help but figure it out.

And it just happened to be such a coincidence that the evening primrose grew not far from where Ye Qin practiced, and Hu Xiaocao found this place again, and saw Ye Qin's supernatural powers manifest.

It seems that it was preordained in the dark.

Hu Xiaocao jumped up from the bed excitedly, clasped his hands together, "Great! Grandpa Mountain God really appeared, bless me to find the evening primrose."

She jumped up and down excitedly.

The woman was a little worried, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? You're still injured, so be careful."

Wu Yuan also felt confused, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaocao, you obviously picked this evening primrose, why do you say it's a mountain god?"

Hu Xiaocao was serious, "Because I saw Grandpa Mountain God practicing, and then I made a wish, and then I found it."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, it was just children's jokes.

The woman burst into tears when she heard these words, "It's getting late, thank you for being here today."

Wu Yuan and others bid farewell and left.

After Hu Xiaocao and her daughter washed up briefly, they also lay down on the bed to rest.

Because of being too excited, Hu Xiaocao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. As long as she thought of meeting the mountain god today, she would be extremely excited.

The woman was also puzzled. Hu Xiaocao was tired after being outside all day and was injured. Logically speaking, he should have fallen asleep long ago.

I don't know how long it took, but Hu Xiaocao finally fell into a deep sleep, still babbling, and could vaguely hear the words "mountain god", "snake" and "moon".

The woman carefully tucked the corner of the blanket for Hu Xiaocao, "You silly boy, how can there be any mountain gods in this world?"

In the early morning of the next day, Hu Xiaocao also opened her eyes with the loud crowing of the rooster, dressed neatly and got up.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and the night had not receded. A black curtain shrouded the village, and smoke could be faintly seen.

For cities, most people are still sleeping, but in rural areas, people always get up very early, and the day's work begins.

The woman struggled to get up from the bed, and she didn't know if it was because of her fear, her complexion looked even worse.

"Ahem, Xiaocao, why don't you sleep more."

Hu Xiaocao came back late yesterday, got up now, and only slept for a few hours.

At this time, Hu Xiaocao was adding firewood to the stove while simmering the earthen pot. She shook her head and said, "No, if you get up late, there are so many things you can't finish."

Hu Xiaocao is proficient in his movements, obviously he has done this kind of thing many times.

Ever since her mother fell ill, most of the family affairs have fallen on her, but no matter how powerful Hu Xiaocao is, there are some things she can't do.

The mother and daughter have no ability to work, but fortunately, the left leader and the right give up their hearts and often give more things.

In addition, Xiaocao will help others cut pigweed, collect firewood, pick up cicada shells and other things within his ability to supplement the family.

Although the life of the mother and daughter is tight, they will not starve to death.

The woman felt guilty and blamed herself, "Xiaocao, I'm sorry for you. If my health was a little better, you wouldn't be so miserable, and all the work in the family is on you."

Hu Xiaocao's peers are much taller than her and look healthy. Hu Xiaocao is malnourished and skinny at first glance.

I can't keep up with nutrition, and I have to do so many things, I look like I am five or six years old.

Hu Xiaocao shook his head and raised his head: "Mom, I don't feel lucky at all. As long as your body can get better soon, I will do anything."

Tears flashed in the woman's eyes, "Good boy."

Soon the room was filled with an indescribable smell of medicine again, Hu Xiaocao handed the medicine over, "Mom, drink it quickly, your body will recover immediately after drinking it."

Soon the rice in the stove was cooked, Hu Xiaocao put part of it in an enamel cup, and the other part mixed with water, stirred in the pot, and it became porridge.

Women have a bad appetite recently, so they can only eat this kind of liquid food.

Hu Xiaocao picked up a chopstick of sauerkraut from the sauce jar with a broken corner on the side. Looking at the sauce jar that was about to bottom out, she seemed to feel that she had picked up a bit too much.

The hands kept shaking and shaking, and finally there were only a few chopsticks left on the chopsticks. Only then did I feel that it was almost done. Put it in the enamel cup, and it was her meal for a day.

This is also why Hu Xiaocao is malnourished, after all, these are the things he eats every day.
