Chapter 8 Su Xiaoxiao saved a man
Su Xiaoxiao took the money and saw that there was only two cents. She looked at Granny Wang with dissatisfaction.
"I didn't bring that much money when I went out today. I'll get it for you as soon as I get back."
After saying that, she picked up her son who was sitting on the ground and ran away in a hurry in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
Two cents was actually more than enough to pay for the bowls and rice pots they broke.
It's just that all the enjoyment of eating was disrupted by them.
When the two people arrived at the door, Granny Wang suddenly turned around and gave Su Xiaoxiao a sharp look.
"Hmph, just wait until your mother-in-law sells you all!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew that Granny Liu must have discussed the matter of selling them with this dead old lady.
Granny Wang is a well-known Qingbudeng in the village. She gets involved in whatever happens at any house and helps stir things up.
"Get out of here!"
After the two annoying guys left, Su Xiaoxiao cleaned up the broken dishes and chopsticks on the ground, put new ones on the table, and asked the two children to come out to eat.
"Mom, are that bad woman and her son gone?"
Dabao was obviously frightened. He took his sister Xiaobao's hand and hid in the closet in the back room.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the cabinet door and said to them pleasantly: "It's okay. Mom is here. No one will dare to bully us again in the future."
"Um……"
Dabao and Xiaobao nodded vigorously with tears on their cheeks.
There is no need for salt at home. Su Xiaoxiao remembers that there is a salt lake in the back mountain where they live. Few people in the village go there because there are often wild animals there and there is no grass around.
After making up her mind, she put the two children to sleep while it was dark at night, locked the door, and went up the back mountain alone, entered the dense forest, and after twisting and turning a few more turns, She finally saw a lake as clear as a mirror appearing in front of her under the moonlight.
The salt lake in front of him was crystal clear under the moonlight. A circle of white lumpy crystal objects on the sand around the lake attracted Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.
This is really a natural salt lake. Salt is more expensive than rice these days. Su Xiaoxiao feels that having such a natural salt lake is really inexhaustible.
She happily picked up the crystal salt crystals by the lake and put them into her cloth bag.
While walking home, she discovered that there was a bamboo forest growing on the east side of the salt lake. It was a good idea. After a while, the bamboo shoots on the mountain were ready and could be dug out to eat, and then bamboo salt could be made.
As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountain to feed the mountain, and you can rely on the water to feed the water. As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
After returning home, she soaked the salt crystals in water, and then made brine. Before the brine solidified, she skimmed off the salt magazines, covered the pot, leaving a slight gap, and waited for the inside to be full. After white particles formed all over the ground, I started to stir them with a shovel. In the end, only salt particles remained.
It was so easy to make this salt. Thinking that there would be no shortage of salt when cooking tomorrow, Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep with satisfaction.
The past few days have been relatively peaceful. Su Xiaoxiao didn't hear anything about her mother-in-law. She just heard that she was arrested. She didn't know what would happen next.
After a few days, she finished eating the tiger meat, and she was ready to go back to the mountain to pack some game.
Su Xiaoxiao carried a basket on her back with the sickle still in it and went into the mountains. This time she did not take her two children with her and locked them in her home.
Just entering the mountains, Su Xiaoxiao saw a hare grazing on the hillside.
It seemed that this time it was not in vain. The cute white rabbit in front of Su Xiaoxiao immediately turned into a plate of braised rabbit meat, which was steaming and fragrant. Su Xiaoxiao followed without hesitation, preparing to stab the rabbit with the harpoon in her hand, but she became excited. The main reason was that the target of the white rabbit was too small, and the little guy was quite alert.
The harpoon missed the hare, and it ran away.
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, I have to make a bow and arrow quickly, otherwise I won't be able to catch any prey at all.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't give up and followed the hare closely behind. As she ran, Su Xiaoxiao smelled a very familiar smell, which was the aroma of wild chrysanthemums.
Turning around the trees, Su Xiaoxiao saw clearly that right in front, a large sea of flowers suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance.
After the little hare got into the sea of flowers, it disappeared, but Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of chasing it anymore.
Wild chrysanthemums were called bitter Job's tears in this era.
If wild chrysanthemums were used as medicine and sold to big pharmacies, wouldn't she make a fortune?
No one knew that there were so many wild chrysanthemums growing on the mountain. She looked around and saw that the location here was okay and it was not considered a deep mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao observed these wild chrysanthemums and found that they all looked pretty good and could be used as medicinal materials after being dried.
After a long time, she remembered the hare just now, and Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly began to chase the hare again.
After crossing the mountain, Su Xiaoxiao saw that there seemed to be another hare eating grass on the ground next to the woods in front of him with his head down.
Su Xiaoxiao would not let the hare escape this time. She grabbed the harpoon in her hand and threw it towards the hare.
Only a "bang" was heard, followed by a human-like cry, "Ah..."
Su Xiaoxiao was startled, and the rabbit escaped again.
She turned around the tree blocking the way and found a man lying in the bushes in front of her.
Just now, her harpoon happened to be pierced into this man's thigh. Su Xiaoxiao looked at it and found that he was a man wearing a war officer's uniform.
Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she rushed over, pushed the man and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"
The man on the ground had no breath at all and was still lying on the spot. Su Xiaoxiao bravely checked where the harpoon was stuck.
It turned out that the harpoon only pierced the man's calf, and because he was wearing armor, the harpoon only pierced the skin of his leg. It did not cause a serious wound, it just punctured the skin.
But the man couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed. Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and used a lot of strength to turn the man's body over.
"Are you okay?"
She saw a very delicate and handsome face, but it was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and his skin was so crystal clear that even the small veins on his eyelids could be seen clearly.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and Su Xiaoxiao knew that this man had passed out.
I tried to step forward and check his breathing, only to find that he was still breathing weakly.
Su Xiaoxiao was relieved. When she raised her hand, she found that her hand was covered with blood. It turned out that the man's left shoulder was injured.
The wound turned outwards, a long and deep bloody gash, and the surrounding flesh began to turn black.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that the wound should be poisonous.
