"Did you see those two dark green grasses? Next time you see them, remember to stay away from them. They are poisonous."

"There are also vines that look a bit like diamond vines, but they are not diamond vines. The juice inside will make people feel itchy when applied to the skin."

"This is a natural itchy vine. If you get scratched, your skin may be scratched."

"There are also those black lumps on the ground. Don't kick them as if they were stones. They are a kind of insect in the forest. They usually like to clump together. Although their venom is not strong, a bite from them will make you feel uncomfortable for a long time."

Along the way, she not only found the medicinal herbs and told them the two of them, but also took out the poisonous plants and insects that were not to be touched in the forest and explained them to them.

The more Zhou Yuesheng listened to his wife, the more scared he felt.

He usually never paid attention to these things when he went into the forest. He was lucky that he had not been harmed for all these years.

It is true that the ignorant are fearless.

Now that I know, I feel that there are crises everywhere.

"Here, this grass has a hypnotic effect. Collect it and burn it into ashes. If small animals eat it by mistake, they will fall into a deep sleep."

"The toxicity of this grass is time-limited, so it is a good choice to use it as an aid for hunting."

Lin Wanwan didn't care what the two were thinking in their hearts, she just walked and watched.

I talk about whatever I see, even if it's messy, it's all useful.

"Brother-in-law, please dig up these herbs."

"Husband, look, these leaves are from the kudzu root. If you dig down along the roots, you should be able to find the kudzu root."

"There are two types of kudzu root: medicinal and edible. The one we have today should be medicinal. If we dig it out, we should be able to sell it for some money."

Lin Wanwan knew that prices were very low in this era.

I just don’t know the price of medicine, is it as cheap as other things?

"Wife, please find a place to rest for a while. Leave these tasks to me and my brother-in-law."

Zhou Yuesheng took a shovel and started digging.

Qiao Dali was also squatting on the ground, grunting as he dug the medicinal herbs specified by Lin Wanwan.

However, the amount of medicinal herbs he dug was not large, and he soon finished them all.

She carefully placed the herbs in the basket and then went to help her brother-in-law with the work.

Both of them were good at farming, and they dug a big hole in a short time.

The soil here is also loose, so it can be dug up easily.

Large chunks of Pueraria root were dug out. Lin Wanwan felt satisfied when she saw the amount.

At least her trip wasn't in vain.

After being busy and wasting more than an hour, the three of them finally set off again.

However, Zhou Yuesheng put the dug kudzu roots in a basket and hid them on a tree branch.

This thing is heavy and quite burdensome to carry with me, so I plan to leave it here and carry it back with me when I return.

"There are still a lot of kudzu roots left here. I'll bring our father over to dig them tomorrow."

"Brother-in-law, let's look for other places. Once we find a good place, my wife won't have to come with us tomorrow."

"This forest is damp, and there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants. There are also so many small insects. It's not suitable for a woman like her to come in."

Zhou Yuesheng patted his wet sleeves and looked at his young wife. Why did he feel that his young wife was much cleaner than him?

Everyone went through the woods, and in some places one had to crouch down to get through.

The dew on the grass and leaves all hit my body, and my outer clothes were already wet.

Fortunately, I wore two layers today, otherwise, I would definitely feel cold when the wind blows.

"Yue Sheng is right. We can't always trouble our sister-in-law."

Qiao Dali felt a little embarrassed, but he was not good at expressing himself.

After hesitating for a long time, he only said this one sentence.

"It's already noon, let's find a place to get something to eat!"

Lin Wanwan was fine. She got up late and ate late, so she wasn’t that hungry.

But the two big men next to them had already started to feel their stomachs growl.

It was obvious that he had been hungry for a long time, but he was just embarrassed to say it.

"Okay, my mother made some pancakes for me this morning. Let's find a dry place, light a fire, and bake the pancakes and we can eat them."

Mrs. Qiao prepared some dry food early in the morning, intending for her son to take it to the mountains to eat.

Naturally, Lin Wanwan and her husband’s share was also made.

That's why Mrs. Zhou didn't prepare lunch for them.

"Let's go and find a suitable place to make a fire."

Lin Wanwan walked forward and heard the sound of gurgling stream.

She went straight to the stream and found a spacious spot.

"Just right here!"

He threw the small shovel in his hand to the ground and went to the stream to wash his hands.

This stream is the one that flows into their village.

The stream is not big, but the water flow is sufficient.

It flows gently all year round, and never stops flowing even in years of famine or drought.

It's just that the water flow is less than usual.

This is the stream water coming out of the underground river. It is very clear and tastes sweet.

Many people in the village like to fetch water from this stream to drink.

Lin Wanwan checked and found that the water in the stream did not contain any harmful substances, so she just scooped up the water and drank it.

"Ha~"

"This water is really sweet. Are you two thirsty? If so, come and have a drink."

He shook his washed hands, stood up and looked to the other side of the stream.

"Wife, if you like drinking this water, let's go to the creek to fetch water to drink in the future."

Old Zhou's family has a ready-made well, so he seldom goes out to fetch water to drink.

But not every household in the village has a well.

The villagers did pool their money to dig a larger well, and each household also dug a small well.

Apart from this, they rely on the water from Xiaoxigou Creek and the big river in front of the village for their livelihood.

People have been drinking this water for generations and have never gotten sick from drinking raw water.

In this era, water resources have not been polluted, and since it is all running water, it is relatively clean.

If it were in later times, the water might not be drinkable.

"That's fine!"

"But if that's the case, it will be hard work for my husband!"

Lin Wanwan put her hand on Zhou Yuesheng's shoulder. The other party was squatting to drink water and was touched and pinched by Lin Wanwan.

The little heart began to beat rapidly.

If Qiao Dali wasn't there next to him, Zhou Yuesheng wouldn't be able to guarantee what he would do.

"Okay, now that you're done, let's go to the other side and take a look."

"I think I saw some wild cabbages growing over there. It's not enough to just eat the bread. Let's get some cabbages to eat."

After saying that, Lin Wanwan took a step over the stream.

Zhou Yuesheng was worried that Lin Wanwan would get hurt, so he hurried over.

When Qiao Dali saw that his brother-in-law and his wife had left, he immediately started to clear out a space.

Cut away the grass on top and dig a mud pit.

I went to find some dry firewood nearby so that I could bake some pancakes later.

"Hey, we're going to get rich today!"

Just as Qiao Dali was about to take out a tinder to light the fire, he heard his brother-in-law's startled voice coming from the other side of the river.
