Chapter 67 Letter (two in one chapter)
“Although the snake may weigh seven or eight kilograms, this piece of snake slough does not weigh much.”
Lin Shu stuffed it into the hanging In the small cloth bag around his waist, the system had just estimated that the value of this piece of snake slough was only about 0.4 yuan.
However, walking in the mountains means collecting whatever you encounter. It is random. Since you have discovered the snake slough, you will not let it go to waste in the mountains.
Gu Jiu nodded and turned around to dig up the calamus again.
Lin Shu went back and stroked the cattails.
When she pulled down all the calamus from that piece, the powdery stuff was difficult to carry. I believe Gu Jiu was digging the calamus on the other side and didn't pay attention to what she was doing here.
Lin Shu sold it directly to the system. Puhuang lost about two kilograms and exchanged it for 8 yuan.
There were a lot of eclipta growing on the wasteland nearby, and Lin Shu squatted down to dig them again.
Eclipta eclipta, which belongs to the genus Eclipta of the Asteraceae family, is also known as black hair grass and ink grass. It has the effect of nourishing liver and kidney, cooling blood and stopping bleeding.
Lin Shu remembered that when he was a child, he accidentally cut his hand while cutting pigweed, so he used the juice of Eclipta to apply it, which quickly stopped the bleeding.
Moreover, Eclipta villagers worked as pigweed harvesters, so pigs in this era rarely got sick. They had a variety of herbs in their daily diet, and their meat was of high quality.
The purchase price of Eclipta eclipta from the system is not high, only 0.2 yuan per pound. It is impossible for Lin Shu to carry it back from the mountains, collect it and sell it directly to the system.
In the mountains, there are usually the most medicinal herbs around the creeks. I collected ten kilograms of Eclipta and stopped continuing.
Lin Shu went up the stream and found a piece of copper hammer jade belt grass covering the ground. This kind of grass likes to grow in a damp environment.
In some places, it is called yinzi grass, eggplant grass, button grass, etc. It is a perennial herb of the Campanulaceae family and often forms a large area as it grows.
Tongchui Jade Grass is very valuable. It is a medicinal herb with excellent effects. It is even rare to see in later generations. The price given by the system is 2 yuan per pound.
"Gu Jiu, you just need to dig a certain amount of calamus. Come and dig the copper hammer and jade grass."
"Hey, here we come."
Gu Jiu He walked over with half a basket of calamus and asked, "What is calamus? Is it expensive?"
"Two yuan a pound is not bad."
The two dug up a piece of copper hammer jade belt grass, half a basket full, and then went up the stream. Lin Shu found several ten great contributions.
"Top Ten Merits? Is there a name for this herb?" This was the first time Gu Jiu heard the name. Looking at the leaves of the Ten Great Merits, he asked doubtfully: "Isn't this a wolfberry?"
Lin Shu chuckled: "The leaves of the Ten Great Merits are very similar to the wolfberry, but the branches and leaves of the Ten Great Merits are separated like an umbrella, while the branches of the Wolfberry are very similar. The branches and leaves grow irregularly. ”
“The top ten genus of merit is the genus of Trigonaceae. It is an evergreen shrub. It has great functions and is full of treasures. Its leaves are called merit leaves and its stems. It is called Gonglaomu, and the fruit is called Gonglaozi. If you peel off the skin of its rhizome, it will be golden inside. ”
Gu Jiu looked at it carefully and sighed: "If I hadn't followed you up the mountain, I wouldn't have known that the plants on this mountain are strictly speaking medicinal herbs."
Lin Shu chuckled: "There are no weeds in the mountain, and everyone knows everything." It’s a treasure.”
The two dug out these ten great achievements, tied them with rattan and put them on the backpack, and Lin Shu took him up.
"I set a few traps when I came here last time. Now I will take you to see if any of them are trapped. If you trap the prey, you don't have to worry about the meat tonight."< br>
The two of them walked to another mountain with their backpacks on their backs. Walking in the mountain, it was okay not to carry any weight, but if they walked forward with a heavy weight, it would be stuffy and hot.
After climbing a mountain ridge, Gu Jiu wiped his sweat and exhaled. Why had he never felt it was so hot before?
Speaking of the hard money earned by mountain walkers, you must first have good physical strength to walk in the mountains, otherwise you will be out of breath while climbing. The second is to be able to endure hardship.
He felt that he could not endure this kind of hardship. His family once wanted him to join the army, but he was afraid that he would not be able to maintain the intensity of training, so he did not want to listen to them.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to his ancestral home to escape the limelight.
Fortunately, when the two of them walked to the forest where the traps were placed, they found that two of the traps had two pheasants trapped in them.
The pheasants are not big, weighing about two or three kilograms, and the chicken soup made from two of them is enough for a family to drink.
On the way home, Lin Shu found a Codonopsis pilosula tree, which could be used to stew chicken.
It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when he got home. Lin Shu saw Gu Jiu couldn't wait to take off the backpack and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is your shoulder hurt?"
Gu Jiu waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm just very thirsty."
Lin Shu knew that he wanted to save face, so he didn't expose him. He put the two backpacks under the eaves, walked around the house, and found that No one is home.
After washing his face, he went into the kitchen and took out the food left for them in the pot. "You must be hungry. Come over and eat."
"Why is there no one at home?" Gu Jiu said after washing his face. The water was poured and he sat at the table.
"She must have gone to work." Lin Shu had a guess in his mind.
“Going to work so early? And it’s not that mom doesn’t have to go to work, she’s not even at home.”
“Maybe she went to the vegetable field or did other things. .”
Sure enough, after the two of them finished eating, Lin Shu boiled hot water again, the two of them took a shower and changed into clean clothes, and Comrade Liu Xiao'e came back.
"Why did you two come back at this time? You are not worried about starving your body. Have you eaten now?"
"Yes." Lin Shu put the clothes that the two of them had changed into. In the bucket, "Mom, please take care of these two pheasants. I'll go wash the clothes."
"How about I go with you?" Gu Jiu stood up.
“No, you can rest at home.”
Liu Xiao'e also stopped her: "Brother Jiu, washing clothes is a woman's business. Why are you joining in the fun? You have been walking around the mountains with her for several hours. If you are not tired, please stay home and rest."
< br>Lin Shu was washing clothes in Erdaojing, so he hit After hearing what happened in the village,
it was Lin Shu who reminded him. After the helmsman of the ferry found a fish turning white in the middle of the river, he hesitated for a long time, so when the strong wind blew over, Although his boat rocked violently, it did not capsize.
Although the boat did not capsize like in the previous life, the people on the boat were still frightened. The boat was shaking from side to side, which scared the woman on top to scream. Fortunately, everyone was safe later. Ashore. Therefore, this incident was reported back, and it was reported like a miracle, except that the fish that turned white was the carp spirit.
Lin Shu was relieved when he learned that the boat did not capsize. After being reborn, he finally changed the fate of some people.
This matter was publicized by the married woman who returned to the village to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and spread like crazy throughout the surrounding villages.
At the same time, another incident of the Xiaohe production team was also reported back by the married women, that is, Lin Shu, a rural girl, found a partner in the city.
The news reached Xiejia Village next door, and it was already after the Dragon Boat Festival when it reached Xie’s mother’s ears.
"How is that possible? My son, who is a temporary worker, despises her for being a rural girl. Which blind young man from the city would find her a partner?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jie family, "I heard from Xiaohe Production Team The married woman said that her partner is from the county. She is good-looking, not too old, and has a good height. "Why would a young man with such good conditions be interested in her?" Right?" Jie Mu still didn't believe it.
She feels that urban people care more about household registration than they do in rural areas.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jie family: "No one can know for sure until they are married. We should wait until they are engaged to be almost sure."
"Outstanding young people from the city will not be found at all. "She, according to what you said, there must be something wrong with her, and she couldn't find a suitable partner in the city, so she decided to come to the countryside to find one." Jie Mu felt that she was iron. His words are straightforward, and the conspiracy can be seen from his performance.
She had heard the old man say before that there is a kind of man in the world who has no ability as a man, but for the sake of face, he still wants to find a wife to act as a front.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jie family: "Mom, my brother-in-law is already a grown man. During this time, you asked someone to help him find a partner. Do you have any clues?"
"Don't mention it!" Jie's mother became angry when she mentioned this matter. The workers there looked down on Xie Chunlei. Looking from the countryside, the girls from the nearby villages were dressed in rustic clothes and had dark skin, so no one could catch her eye.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jie family rolled her eyes, remembered something, and said, "Mom, do you think the Lin family girl was angry that we broke off her engagement, so she found a date in the city just to gain reputation? ”
Jie’s mother was stunned after hearing this. "Don't tell me, it's really possible. Nizi is very angry, otherwise she would have been hanging on Chunlei for so many years. Now that she is dumped, she will definitely not find someone worse than Chunlei to make others laugh."
How about not talking about her new partner? At least on the surface it looks like the conditions will definitely be better than Chunlei.
"If this is true, then we can't find anyone worse than her."
"You said you can find someone with good conditions? You don't know how many connections I have trusted some time ago. I found several workers to look at Chunlei, but no one liked Chunlei. "
How can it be so easy to find a good wife?
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jie family came up with another idea: "Otherwise, if you really can't find one in the city, find someone who can handle her and whose conditions are on par with hers."
"Your idea is good, but in reality, where can we find someone with similar conditions to her and who can tolerate her?" Jie Mu said angrily.
"As long as you have a heart, you will always find it."
Although Jie's mother didn't have a clue yet, she remembered the words of her eldest daughter-in-law in her heart, thinking that if she couldn't find someone with better conditions than her, she would find someone else. Hers.
Who asked her to separate from her son? She was so eager to find a second love. She didn't take their Jie family seriously. Since she wants to end the relationship with their Jie family so much, it depends on whether she is willing.
Gu Jiu returned to the county town after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Lin Shu went to the mountains alone these days.
The advantage of going into the mountains alone is freedom. Whether the herbs she picks are valuable or not, she can sell them directly to the system. She only needs to bring back one or two valuable items every time she goes home.
When you have accumulated enough money, you can go to the county to exchange it, and the money you exchange will be given to your family.
There are a few annoying things about going to the mountains in summer. There are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the mountains. It is very uncomfortable to stay in the mountains when the weather is sultry.
Lin Shu decided not to go into the mountains in the summer, and would just dig some herbs harvested in the summer in the fields.
Wait until autumn or winter before going into the mountains to collect herbs.
The most important thing is, before this winter comes, she wants to find out who is the man who took away her innocence in the previous life?
On this day, Lin Shu did not go into the mountains. In the evening, the eldest and second brothers who had been outside for nearly twenty days came back.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Shu knew the original intention of his two brothers returning home.
"You mean you want to rent a house in the county?" Lin Dashan exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.
Lin Wei nodded and expressed the difficulty of the two of them working outside: "The telephone poles of our production team have been erected, and now our group has been assigned the task of erecting telephone poles in the next town.
In the future, when we set up telephone poles outside, we can eat and live together with our colleagues, but when we return to the county town, we don’t even have a place to stay except our work, so we can’t always live in a guest house, right?”
Liu Xiao'e took over the conversation: "For the sake of convenience, let's rent a house and let you brothers live together. If the room is bigger, and there is nothing to do in the team after the autumn harvest, you can also ask your wife to go to the county to visit you."
< br>Lin Wei and Lin Guang also thought so in their hearts.
Especially Lin Guang, he even wants several children to go to the county to study next year. They don't have to suffer every time it is windy or rainy like studying in the countryside. The wind comes and rains, and the road is not safe.
The city is great. Even if it rains or snows, the roads are cement or stone pavement. They are very clean and you don’t have to worry about getting splashed with mud.
Lin Wei glanced at Liu Xiao'e gratefully, "We have a day off tomorrow, so I'm thinking of getting the things we need back to the county town tomorrow. Next time we come back for vacation, we can live in a rental house. No need to waste money by staying in a guest house.”
Lin Dashan knocked on the table, frowned and asked, "Have you already rented the house?"
Lin Wei and Lin Guang were both a little flustered by their father's words.
Lin Wei nodded honestly: "Our Gu Jiu helped us find the house. It has been rented. When we take the items we need to the county town tomorrow, we can basically move in there."< br>
Lin Shu didn't expect Gu Jiu to help, so he raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more.
"That's fine. Brothers and sisters should help each other outside. I feel relieved that Gu Jiu is taking care of you in the county. However, if Gu Jiu wants to help with anything, don't refuse. If you can help, I will try my best to help." Lin Dashan was very relieved.
Lin Shu checked the balance in the system, and it now exceeded 4,000. With money in hand, she would prefer to buy a house in the county.
It’s just that I don’t know if the county will support housing transactions under the current economic conditions.
I am thinking about asking Gu Jiu or Xu Ming next time I go to the city.
Gu Jiu, who was being cared about, was currently unpacking a package he had just picked up from the county post and telecommunications office.
The package was sent by Gu Changsheng and Wang Suzhen from the provincial capital after consultation. It contained materials they carefully selected, all for Lin Shu and the Lin family.
There are different thicknesses of fabrics. There are ten pieces of fabrics in total, which are used to make clothes for Lin Shu in different seasons.
Most of the nutritional supplements were given to Lin Dashan and Liu Xiao'e, and some snacks were probably given to Gu Jiu to coax the Lin family's children.
There are also tobacco and alcohol, which should be given to several uncles in the Lin family.
In short, it can be seen that the Gu family's parents put their heart into preparing this gift.
Gu Jiu, opened the package and rummaged around and found a thick letter.
After opening the envelope, the first thing that came into view was the colorful bills, followed by six hundred yuan, and a piece of letter paper explaining the arrangement of the gift and the use of the six hundred yuan.
The last sentence, the iron painted silver hook, is strong enough to penetrate the back of the paper, showing the strength of the person who wrote it.
"Marriage is a major event and a life-long partner. I hope my son will take it seriously and don't let down the sincerity of the lesbians!"
You don't need to guess to know that this sentence was written by Gu Changsheng. He was afraid of Gu Jiu Three minutes of enthusiasm, give up if you encounter some setbacks.
If you play with the feelings of a lesbian, then the lesbian will basically be ruined for life.
Gu Jiu sneered and folded the letter, "The old man really looks down on people!"
Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Jingjing Huakai~Thank you for your recommendation and votes~
Good night~< br>
