A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

When I got home the sun had all set.

While there was still some light, Yan Shu dug out a piece of old cotton from the old cotton batting on the bed, twisted it into a long wick and put it into a small broken bowl.

Then the sesame oil was poured, and an oil lamp lit up the small world of the two people in the house.

Yaya felt that her mother was so awesome today. Not only did she catch the fish, she also dared to confront her grandma and aunts, and she would no longer be afraid of being bullied by them.

She diligently helped her mother scoop out water to wash fish and crabs. When the moon and stars rose, Yan Shu had already fried small dried fish and crabs.

The mother and daughter ate delicious dried fish with the chicken soup at noon, not to mention it was very moist. At night, Yan Shu hugged Yaya and slept on the straw bed. She listened to the sound of frogs outside the house, but her thoughts kept racing.

This was her first night in this time and space, so she was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

In modern times, she is just an older baby girl. But if you learn some kung fu and small magic, you won't be bullied here.

But if you want a widow to raise a child to survive in this old society, you still need some brains and wisdom.

The first thing to do is to solve the problem of food. The Chen family has several acres of land, but because she gave birth to a girl without a son, and now she has no husband, she is not eligible to receive land according to the rules of the village.

So now I can only start from scratch. After thinking about it, my brain got tired and I fell asleep.

At dawn, Yan Shu got up and cooked some cowpea and rice porridge. After a simple breakfast with Yaya, she prepared to go up the mountain with a sickle and a basket on her back.

The mountain to the east of the village is called Jiazi Mountain. It is steep and inaccessible.

Yesterday she just looked for something near the foot of the mountain. This time I plan to go up the mountain to see if there are any good products. The road was difficult to walk and the grass was deep and slippery. Yaya struggled to follow Yan Shu, trying not to hold her mother back.

Passing by a cliff, Yan Shu saw several Dendrobium officinale on the rocks, which are rare Chinese herbal medicines. Yan Shu used a sickle to shovel down a few large plants by their roots and put them into the basket on her back.

Along the way, there were many mushrooms and small wild birds in the grass that attracted Yaya, but Yan Shu's mind was not on these.

Sometimes she would put her foot down and let Yaya pick a few wild mushrooms, a few wild flowers and a few wild onions.

Most of the time, she carefully observed whether there were any large beasts. Villagers often say that there are many monsters in Jiazi Mountain, so although the village is close to the mountain, few people go up the mountain to find food.

Legend has it that there is precious red Ganoderma lucidum on this mountain. Eating it can prolong life and cure all kinds of diseases. However, it is guarded by ferocious beasts and it is impossible for ordinary people to pick it easily.

The purpose of Yan Shu's trip was to find this precious red Ganoderma lucidum. If she could collect it and exchange it for money, she could improve her current situation.

The further you go up the mountain, the quieter you get, the only sounds you can hear are the chirping of birds and the whistling of wild grass in the wind.

Suddenly, a person slid down the steep slope not far away. He rolled and hit a rotten wood pile. He said "Ah... help..." and then fell silent.

Yan Shu thought to herself that most of the people coming and going in this deep mountain were hunters. Most of the people who are inexperienced and panicked are ordinary farmers at the foot of the mountain.

Since she was not familiar with the situation, she did not want to cause trouble. If she met a bad person, her mother would be in trouble.

But after a while, the man lying beside the rotten wood made a weak voice: "Help me, help me, I'm not a bad person."

I saw the man raised his head slightly, revealing an angular face: "A head of thick black hair was tied up high by a white jade crown, slightly messy. Under the thick black sword eyebrows was a pair of deep eyes as black as jade. . The thin, warm lips under the straight bridge of the nose make the whole person cold and sharp."

This scene couldn't help but make Yan Shu's heart flutter. Who can say that women can be lustful. Since others are asking for help from her, she can't just ignore them.

Yan Shu asked Yaya to wait for her where she was. She stepped on the weeds and fallen leaves and walked towards the young man who asked her for help.

At this moment, Yan Shu held the sickle in her left hand and helped the man sit up with her right hand. Only then did she realize that the man's left chest was covered in blood and flesh.

There were several bloody gashes, and it looked like they were caused by the sharp claws of wild beasts.

Seeing Yan Shu's confused look, the man replied without waiting for Yan Shu's words: "I was injured by a wild bear on the mountain. Although I received a claw from it, luckily I escaped down the steep slope, otherwise I would definitely have died. "

Upon hearing that it was a wild bear, Yan Shu immediately understood why the man shouted for help.

Bears are very aggressive. The villagers also said that the wild bears on Jiazi Mountain have killed several hunters, so no one dares to go up the mountain.

The situation is urgent now and the only priority is to save people first.

Yan Shu remembered that there was a cave on the edge of the cliff that she passed by just now. It would be better to move there first. It would be too dangerous for a wild bear to suddenly chase her here. So she asked Yaya to go first, and she helped the man up and moved slowly.

After a lot of effort, we finally reached the cave.

The man thanked Yan Shu gratefully: "Thank you, sister. If I hadn't met you today, I might have died."

"But how could you, mother and daughter, go up the mountain alone? It's too dangerous."

Yan Shu saw the blood on his chest soaking through the maroon silk shirt, so she had to find a way to stop the bleeding first.

"Your injury is a bit serious. I have to find some medicine to stop your bleeding. You need to take a rest first and wait for me to come back. Try not to talk and conserve your strength."

Then he said to Yaya: "Yaya, you stay here with uncle. Mother will go up there to find something and come back."

Yaya nodded obediently, and then Yan Shu left the cave alone.

There is no ready-made medicine for golden sores here, so we can only use local materials.

Relying on the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in her memory, Yan Shu found a few cow dung mushrooms, a fungus that looks like an egg ball. There is also white stone powder, a white powder on cliff stones.

She picked some Bupleurum and other medicinal herbs by the way and hurried back.

Yaya saw her mother coming back and said quickly: "Uncle and I said a few words and then fell asleep. No matter how I woke up, I didn't wake up."

Yan Shu stepped forward and saw that the man's face was pale, which must have been caused by excessive blood loss.

So Yan Shu quickly took out the white stone powder she had just collected and sprinkled it on his wound.

Miraculously, the bleeding stopped immediately as soon as the white powder covered it. After that, a layer of gray-white powder from cow dung mushrooms is sprinkled, which is also a natural medicinal material for stopping bleeding.

In this way, the man's wound was finally cared for, so that it would not continue to bleed and hurt.

After doing this, Yan Shu went out to cut down a large wild mangosteen and came back, made a hole to make a container, put dendrobium officinale and several other herbs in it and boiled it with mountain spring water.

Seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, Yan Shu had no choice but to pinch him.

With a voice: "Hey..." the man woke up from the pain. Seeing that it was the sister who had saved him just now, he quickly cheered up and sat up.

Yan Shu handed him the boiled potion and drank it. The man suddenly felt better.

"Thank you sister for saving me today! I will do my best to repay my sister for saving my life in the future."

After he finished speaking, he was about to climb up and go down the mountain, and advised Yan Shu: "It's best for my sister and her children not to go up the mountain. It's too dangerous here. If you encounter a wild bear again, you two will have no way to deal with it."

Yan Shu disagreed and said, "Young master, you are seriously injured. You should go down the mountain for treatment in time. I am a farmer at the foot of the mountain and I am familiar with the geographical environment here. Don't worry about me! I will just pick some medicinal materials nearby and go down the mountain."

After thanking Yan Shu again, the man said goodbye to Yan Shu and his daughter and went down the mountain alone.

Looking at his weak back, Yan Shu only hoped that he could receive comprehensive treatment as soon as possible, otherwise the wound inflammation would be fatal.

Yaya asked from the side: "Mom, are there really wild beasts on the mountain? Should we go up there? I'm a little scared."

Yan Shu hugged Yaya and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Yaya, mother will always protect you. We will leave quietly later. Don't make any sound. We will leave after picking the things."

They stepped on the dead leaves and walked towards a forest. The dazzling sunlight dappled along the leaves and shone in the forest, making it appear peaceful, beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

As soon as she reached a slope, Yan Shu discovered circles of black and white things wrapped around a large section of dead trees.

Getting closer, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "God is really blessing me!"

It turned out to be three giant white pythons as thick as a bowl, entwined with an auburn Ganoderma lucidum! Under the polish of the sun, Ganoderma lucidum is as shiny as the mouth of a basin.

It can be said that this Ganoderma lucidum is valuable and is a rare high-end medicinal material.

The eyes of the white giant python surrounding the Ganoderma lucidum are sometimes slightly closed and sometimes open. The eyes reflect a faint black light, which makes people shudder.

Yaya was so frightened that she grabbed her mother's thigh. Yan Shu reacted and immediately uttered a secret message, then drew a circle on Yaya's forehead.

This is her setting a boundary for her child. With this boundary, no evil, ghost, or dangerous thing dares to come near.

Yan Shu comforted Yaya and sat in the distance, deciding to go pick the red Ganoderma lucidum alone.

When the white python saw someone approaching, it opened its small eyes and spit out a long message from its mouth, making a threatening sound.

Yan Shu was not afraid of the giant python. This kind of snake was called the Albino Snowflake King Snake. It was generally not poisonous, but looked scary.

She calmly picked up some dry branches and thatch nearby, quickly lit a fire with a fire sickle, and placed the wild onions in her basket in the fire to roast. After a while, a scent of onions was emitted.

Several white pythons saw the fire and smelled the smell of onions and garlic, and began to squirm slowly, constantly surrounding the red Ganoderma lucidum, as if they were unwilling to leave.

However, faced with the flames and the irritating smell, they gave up on this treasured land and slowly slipped into the grass nearby.

Yan Shu picked up the sickle and quickly pulled out the huge red Ganoderma lucidum and put it into the basket on her back. There were a few small Ganoderma lucidum flowers nearby. Yan Shu did not touch them and let them continue to grow here slowly.

Today's harvest was not small. Yan Shu took Yaya and happily went down the mountain carrying a basket of game and medicinal materials.
