"Boss, do you have anything to do when you come to Laowan Village?"

As soon as he left the village entrance, Zhang Wu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Qingcao nodded and continued driving the bullock cart, "It was Doctor Yang who told me to come to Laowan Village to find a seller, but I didn't expect that person to be Uncle Zhang Wu. What a coincidence."

"Master, do you want medicinal materials?" Zhang Wu remembered something that Doctor Yang asked someone to ask him when he went to sell medicinal materials some time ago.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang Wu, you didn't expect it."

"I really didn't expect it. If I knew it was you, the boss, I would never let you make this trip." He also made the boss watch a joke.

Zhang Wu thought of hundreds of private schools, and suddenly figured out why his master wanted to come to Laowan Village.

On weekdays, the medicinal materials collected and the prey hunted in Laowan Village are sent to the medical center and restaurants in Wanshan Town. Only his medicinal materials are sold to the medical center of Qianfeng Town. The money earned from the sales is naturally I plan to buy something for Yaya’s dowry.

But I didn't expect that my mother broke her leg, and none of her brothers wanted to come out with money. I also said to endure it, it was a last resort, so I could use the money I saved to show my leg.

"Nothing, just relax." Liu Qingcao looked at Zhang Xiaoya who was curled up beside him, put down the bullwhip, picked up the bamboo basket and brought the steamed bun slices and water to the two of them, "I saw that your mother's legs looked like Okay, why would your sister-in-law do something like that?"

"My mother teamed up with that charlatan to deceive me. I only heard about it when I went back today, which made my boss laugh." Zhang Wu lowered his eyelids, feeling hateful and ashamed. For the truth, I didn't even tell my sister-in-law. She was too I think highly of him.

Liu Qingcao glanced at Zhang Wu without any trace, feeling that he was a bit too pitiful. His father didn't care for him, his mother didn't love him, and his brothers didn't help but bullied others. He was really a miserable person.

"Raise your daughter well, and don't go back here if you have nothing to do. According to your sister-in-law, Uncle Zhang Wu seems to have separated our families. If it is true, then you can just bring some filial piety money back during the holidays."

Liu Qingcao smiled and continued, "However, this matter is still up to you. I'm just giving you an opinion."

"My boss is right. When the family is separated, it will be like a separate family. I also have to support you. It's just that I will follow the eldest brother, so I will pay for it." As for other things, he has done enough.

Liu Qingcao saw him leaving the house empty-handed, thinking that he was leaving the house with clean clothes. No wonder he could leave so cleanly. This family really refreshed her outlook on life.

However, Zhang Wu was too honest.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, when Xiaoya arrives in Shihe Village, you take her to the Salesian Home to see Mr. Dong Mingdong. Your today's salary will be used to pay for the half term of repairs." Liu Qingcao saw the ox cart walking some distance away from Laowan Village and pulled her Stay roped to the side of the road.

"Let's go, take me to the mountains today to find the medicinal materials you collected."

"My boss, I'm afraid that if I put this bullock cart here, it will attract thieves. Why don't my boss go a little further? There is a family I know not far away. It would be safer to put the cattle at his house."

"Uncle Zhang Wu is right, I think this is Shihe Village." Liu Qingcao nodded and drove the ox cart forward.

Almost a mile away, they arrived at the house that Zhang Wu had mentioned. The person seemed very kind. Liu Qingcao gave five cents as a guard fee, and then took out the steamed bun slices in the basket and gave them to the children. Zhang Xiaoya was also left behind.

Laowan Village is divided into two pieces of land, inside and outside the village. Stepping outside the boundary of the village entrance, there are people who have moved here to settle down. These are also under the jurisdiction of Laowan Village.

There is a road going up the mountain outside the village, which is where Liu Qingcao stopped the ox cart just now.

Liu Qingcao and Zhang Wu walked up the road. The mountains in Laowan Village and the mountains in Shihe Village are very different. Although they are in the same county, the types of medicinal materials are also different because of the different heights. difference.

Liu Qingcao walked and walked, digging for good things when he saw them. Zhang Wu was watching on the side. Before they reached the destination of the spices, the basket in Liu Qingcao's hand was filled to the brim. Fortunately, she put a cloth in the basket. bag, otherwise I won’t dare to secretly put things into the space for a while.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, why is it that no one is digging this Gastrodia elata?" Liu Qingcao looked at the large Gastrodia elata and asked in confusion.

Zhang Wu smiled coquettishly and didn't hide it, "Qingcao, no one in our village recognizes this. If they did, how could they survive until now?"

Zhang Wu was telling the truth. The villagers in Laowan Village did not know Gastrodia elata buried in the ground. They usually sold fruits, branches, leaves, bark, or vine herbs, and the prices for those herbs were not very high. As for those rare and precious herbs, they only knew ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and no one told them about the others.

Liu Qingcao threw the dug Gastrodia elata into the cloth bag, and Zhang Wu helped her carry the bamboo basket. He did not recognize most of the herbs in the bamboo basket.

It must be said that this is because they are ignorant and unwilling to pay for advice from doctors, otherwise Laowan Village would have lived a good life relying on these mountains.

Most of the medicinal materials he sold to Qianfeng Medical Center were obtained by asking for money, otherwise he would not be able to save a sum of money, but in the end they were taken away by my mother.

Liu Qingcao noticed Zhang Wu's sudden loneliness and hurriedly smiled and changed the subject.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, those medicinal materials should be in front."

"There is still less than half a mile ahead." Zhang Wu put aside the entanglement in his heart and pointed to the forest in front, speaking calmly.

Liu Qingcao nodded and walked ahead with a cloth bag in hand. She had insect repellent powder on her body. If there were poisonous insects, snakes and ants in front of her, he could avoid them in advance if he smelled the powdered medicine on her body.

Liu Qingcao listened to Zhang Wu's location and kept walking until he stopped in an octagonal forest.

At this time, the anise fruits are plump, fragrant and of absolutely high quality.

There are so many octagonal trees with long and thin strips, and each branch is full of fruits. This is a good time to harvest octagonal anise.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, why didn't you pick and sell so many star anises? They might fetch a lot of money."

Liu Qingcao looked at the star anise fruits on the tree and couldn't see them. There were too many, too many. Just like the fruit trees in space, the fruits were so densely packed that it was eye-catching to look at.

"It's cheap to sell, and it takes time to dry. These medicinal materials can only be harvested this season, and this is a deep mountain, and danger is always there. It's not as good as doing it at work."

Zhang Wu looked at the medicinal herbs in the tree and shook his head. After picking all of them, he could buy them for 13 taels of silver.

But this would take too much time. It was too far from the village and the villagers were unwilling to come in. He only occasionally couldn't find medicinal materials, so he would go into the mountains to pick some, and most of the time he wouldn't come here.

After all, he didn't dare to gamble with his life. He could still distinguish between a lifetime and a period of time.

Liu Qingcao looked around. This deep mountain was indeed quite dangerous. It was no wonder that Zhang Wu had been nervously wary of his surroundings since he crossed the ridge.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, I understand. Don't worry, I won't stay here for long. When I dig up a few saplings over there, we will go find some other medicinal materials."

"Okay, I'll go dig with you, my boss." After listening to Liu Qingcao's words, Zhang Wu's worries were only reduced by a small amount, but it would be best to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Liu Qingcao did not refuse, took the small shovel from Zhang Wu's hand and started digging bit by bit.

The sapling Liu Qingcao chose was not big, smaller than her little finger. If the soil was not deep and the shovel was too small, she could dig it out with just two spades.

Of course, Liu Qingcao also picked several ripe anises and put them in her pocket. There was plenty of land in the space. These seeds were just scattered on the land, and the saplings were transplanted to the valley of Qianfeng Mountain, which was very suitable for the growth of anises.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, that's enough. Let's go find something else." Liu Qingcao pried up the fifth bead sapling, placed it gently in the basket, and watched Zhang Wu speak.

Zhang Wu dug up the saplings, nodded, and walked around the mountain with the willow green grass. This was the farthest place he had ever walked. Several other medicinal materials were not far apart, but they were on the other side of the mountain.

Liu Qingcao looked at Zhang Wu's fast pace and did not dare to stop to dig out medicinal materials. Occasionally, Liu Qingcao would gather a handful of medicinal materials that could be roughly collected.
