Chapter 1678 Extra: Gift From the Mountains
The family is really too poor.
Who wants to be hungry when they can have enough to eat?
Shen He and Daya returned home alone carrying a bundle of firewood. When they handed the golden pheasant in their hands to the aunt, the aunt's face looked kind and cheerful for the first time in her life.
The aunt was not a talkative person, so she turned around and went out while carrying the golden pheasant.
After a while, he came back with a bag of coarse grains.
Compared with a chicken that can only eat one meal, a bag of coarse grains can last for half a month.
This account is a good deal.
Because of Shen He's special contribution, the whole family finally had a full meal at noon.
It’s early summer, a time when game is plentiful.
Shen He planned to go for a walk at the bottom of the mountain in the afternoon to see if he could find anything missing.
The mountains here are spread out. The mountain near the village is not big or high, but the mountain next to this mountain is taller.
Uncle Wang usually goes into the mountains to hunt, but that doesn't mean there are no dangers in the mountains.
Shen He would not take this risk before completely recovering his combat effectiveness. Probably because she had a full stomach in the afternoon, Daya's trust in Shen He also increased a bit. She took Shen He to a small river at the head of the village and lowered her voice and said: "Sister, it's too dangerous in the mountains. You wait here, I'll give it to you
Catch a fish. You just came out of the water, don't get close, it will be bad if your legs get weak and you fall in. "
Only then did Shen He realize that Daya wanted to protect herself.
What a pitiful person.
She was only eight years old, as thin as a five or six-year-old child, and she still wanted to protect herself.
Shen He smiled and said, "I fell into the water accidentally last time, but it won't happen this time."
You know, I was a swimming champion in my previous life.
Excellent physical fitness.
It's a pity that in this world...well, I can only slowly recover my physical strength.
Shen He followed Daya to the river, and finally understood why Daya ordered him so carefully.
This river is not shallow.
Shen He made a visual inspection, and judging from the clarity of the water source in this era, the depth of the river should be more than three meters.
People who don't know how to swim will probably sink to the bottom if they go down.
Da Ya walked carefully to the river, using the frame used to hold firewood as a fishing net to see if she could catch a fish with good luck.
The corners of Shen He's mouth twitched, but he didn't stop her.
Da Ya is very cautious and will never lean towards the middle, so there will be no problem.
Shen He turned around and searched slowly along the foot of the mountain, maybe he could find something good.
I don't know if God himself felt that he owed Shen He, but after Shen He wandered around for more than half an hour, Shen He really found something good.
Shen He had sharp eyes and recognized it as a wild honeysuckle at a glance.
Shen He concluded that there should be large areas of honeysuckle here.
It is cool and humid here, which is very suitable for the growth of honeysuckle.
But because the terrain here is steep, it can be seen that not many people come.
So the honeysuckle here has not been discovered.
Without any hesitation, Shen He immediately started picking a frame full of these honeysuckle flowers.
Seeing that there was still some leftover, Shen He thought for a moment and decisively stayed.
She had to take her time and not do it all at once.
When she went back, Daya happened to catch a fat fish and was fighting hard.
Shen He hurried over and helped Daya pull up the frame.
Da Ya said to Shen He excitedly: "We can eat meat again tonight! That's great!"
Shen He looked at his first eldest sister who came into this world seriously, raised his hand and touched the yellow top of her head, and said, "Sister, I will make sure that you are all well fed."
Da Ya immediately smiled and nodded seriously.
When Shen He and Daya returned home, the eldest aunt was about to get angry, but when she saw the fish they were carrying, she became silent again.
On this day, Shen He caught a chicken and a fish.
The harvest has been great.
The eldest aunt stewed the fish into soup. In the evening, each person had a bowl of fish soup.
The family feels that this day is more comfortable than the Chinese New Year.
After Shen He finished his meal, he asked, "Uncle, is there a pharmacy nearby?"
The uncle immediately looked at Shen He.
Shen He continued: "When I was fishing with Daya today, I accidentally discovered a piece of honeysuckle. After it is dried, it can be sold to pharmacies."
This time the whole family looked at Shen He.
Shen He continued: "As I said, I have to pay off the debt myself for the pheasant that Uncle Wang gave me. By selling these medicinal materials, I can pay off the debt."
The atmosphere at home instantly relaxed.
They didn't want to pay off Shen He's debt.
When Shen He's parents died, they didn't leave much property behind, and all the miscellaneous expenses had been spent long ago.
If Shen He didn't have the ability to make money, it would mean asking the aunt's family to pay off the debt.
Such a poor family naturally does not want to take on another debt.
The uncle then told Shen He the location of the pharmacy.
The village where Shen He is located is called Shenjia Village.
It is about ten miles away from the town, which is not too far for country people. If you walk, it will only take more than an hour.
Therefore, people in the village will also go to the town to buy some daily necessities when they are free.
After Shen He processed the honeysuckle, he put it in a bag filled with patches and carried it on his little body before heading out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Uncle Wang tying up his car.
Shen He greeted Uncle Wang Er. Uncle Wang Er looked at Shen He and asked, "Where are you going, Xiao He?"
"To the town." Shen He greeted openly, "Where are you going, Uncle Wang Er?"
"I'm also going to the town to sell some of the skins I have stored. Get in the car and I'll take you there." Uncle Wang Er said to Shen He.
Shen He hesitated for a moment, but still climbed up.
She is only ten years old now, and she is so thin. If she really encounters something, it will be difficult to get away.
Uncle Wang Er hunts all year round, with a muscular body and a fierce aura.
Even if you meet someone who is blind, you dare not make plans for Uncle Wang Er.
Although Shen He doesn't know why Uncle Wang Er is so good to him, at most he can repay Uncle Wang Er more in the future.
Uncle Wang Er is only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year. He originally married a wife, but later she had a difficult birth, and both the adult and the child were gone. So he lives alone.
Although many people in the surrounding villages asked for information about Uncle Wang, hoping to marry their daughters to him.
But for some reason, Uncle Wang refused all the requests, and no one responded.
Shen He was not really familiar with the other party, and he also knew what kind of character this body had in the past, so it was naturally impossible for him to have a close relationship with the people in the village.
Therefore, in line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Shen He and Uncle Wang just said hello and never said anything else. When he arrived in the town, Shen He quickly found the medicine shop and went in with the bag.
