Dressed as a passerby in a martial arts novel

Chapter 2
Aunt Zhang rushed out from the house, put a small basket covered with a red cloth in Chu Lian's hand,
"Good boy, you have helped Aunt Zhang a lot, and these things are not good things if you take them home to eat. Keep them!"

Chu Lian hugged the basket tightly, and nodded her thanks. After working all day today, and performing so many crying scenes at the entrance of the village in the evening, she was going to be dizzy from hunger, so naturally she would not refuse at this time.

Seeing that she had accepted it, Aunt Zhang smiled and took out a list from her bosom and handed it to her with a surprised tone,

"Lianwa, this is the list of herbal medicines that your Uncle Niu brought back for you. The medical center only gave you a deadline of five days. Although the time is tight, there are at least five taels of silver! Auntie is illiterate, take a look." See what they are all good to find?"

Chu Liandong quickly took it, and read it at a glance. The medicinal materials are basically the same as before, but there are two new ones--the moon-gold stamen and the bare-foot lotus root.
You know, she handed in so many herbal medicines, the most was only [-] Wen, now it has increased ten times, and then looked at the newly added two kinds of medicinal materials, she thought: There really is no such thing as a good thing that falls from the sky.

Although the Moonflower and the Barefoot Lotus are not rare, the difficulty is that the Moonflower has no stamens at all, and the so-called stamens are just the product of condensation at a specific time, place and climate.Because it only exists in the center of the moon, it is called the stamen of the moon.

The barefoot lotus is a strange plant that grows on the edge of the cliff, but its roots are exposed and climbs on the cliff wall. There is only one rhizome but countless silks.

Chu Lian wailed inwardly, why is money so hard to earn!But she only had a forced smile on her face,
"It's a little hard to find, I'll try my best! However, aren't the medicinal materials needed by the medical center fixed? Why are there more new ones suddenly?"

Aunt Zhang recalled it for a while, then waved her hand, beckoning her to come closer, and explained in a low voice,

"I heard that a big man came to the town, and he is not in good health. I don't know the details."

After leaving Aunt Zhang's house, Chu Liandong kept thinking about the two kinds of herbs. Halfway through the journey, the aroma in the basket was so mouth-watering that she couldn't care about any more herbs. She couldn't wait to lift the red cloth, and inside were two rice cakes. , two rough noodle buns, a boiled egg and a bowl of fried pickles.

Chu Lian was almost drooling when she moved, she hadn't seen meat for a long time, so she picked up the egg and peeled it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

She vaguely remembered that she used to eat a diet meal for a while, and most of the protein she ate was boiled eggs and chicken breast. cry……

After returning home, Chu Lian thought over and over again, but finally resisted the urge to eat all the food, and only ate a steamed bun and a piece of rice cake with pickles.

Life in the countryside is still a lot of inconvenience, because the environment is good, there are mosquitoes in spring alone, and when it gets dark, cicadas and frogs are singing in all directions, and noisy people can't sleep at all.

Chu Lian sniffed the smell of sweat on her body with disgust, and went to the stove to boil hot water to take a bath.

There are some cracks at the bottom of the old wooden barrel, which are usually not obvious, but once filled with water, it will overflow. She has no choice but to quickly take a shower to prevent her bedroom from being flooded.

I miss the shower and the bathtub so much!

On the second day, Chu Lian woke up very early in the morning, she was going to collect herbs on the mountain.The sky outside is still gray, and it is estimated that the time is about four or five o'clock.

She still remembered that when she first arrived here, the bright and warm bedroom suddenly turned into a dilapidated thatched hut with four walls. It was an unspeakable state of mind that no one could understand.

What's even more outrageous is that the house still leaks when it rains. Coincidentally, it still rained in the first few days when we first came here.

The owner of her body is an orphan, her mother died of dystocia, and her father is a barefoot doctor. Some will pay.

Or old rice, or fish and shrimps caught by oneself, some skillful people would weave some baskets and send them over, but there was nothing, so her father asked someone to help chop some firewood or cut some hogweed.

Good but not Holy Father.

Because of this, the villagers respected him very much, but it was a pity that he died young, and the original owner became an orphan. Most of the villagers took good care of her out of kindness.

The original owner was young but very smart, and his father had been reading and learning medicine all the time while his father was alive. After his father passed away, he went to the mountains to go to school by himself holding medical books.

Chu Liandong didn't understand why she would replace the original owner. She only knew that the book written by her good friend had become a real world. The original owner was a hidden ink spot in this world. She couldn't find a single word of description. .

The future is hidden by thick fog, no one knows what is in the fog?It may be a sharp and poisonous thornbush, or it may be a paradise surrounded by flowers.

Take one step at a time!Chu Liandong could only comfort herself in this way, the sky was hazy that had not yet been pierced by the morning light, and she remembered the dream from last night.

Since she came to this world, she either suffered from insomnia or slept till dawn from being tired. She hasn't had a dream for a long time.

But after falling asleep yesterday, she dreamed about things in the real world. She dreamed that the best friend who didn't listen to persuasion held a book and reminded her: Lian Dong, you are going to die soon, do you still remember the setting that you complained about? Well?

???

Chu Lian moved a little hesitant, that woman wouldn't curse herself to death just because of her ridicule!
She put the basket on her back, hesitated at the door, and finally locked the door and went up the mountain.It's just a dream, it's nothing, but making money is more important.

The morning fog in the mountains is very heavy, and the dewdrops on the tips of the grass blades cannot fall.The lingering moisture wetted the girl's gray cloth and coarse linen dress, leaving behind dark marks.

Chu Lian moved carefully to push aside the bushes beside the clear spring, revealing the tall and low silvery white flowers hidden in it.The bright yellow and round tiny flesh beads are exactly the stamens of the moon-gold flower that I was looking for.

Excitedly, she took out a knife, gently cut off the flower stem, and inserted the whole flower into the box filled with wet mud in advance.After picking five flowers in a row, this small flower bush is considered finished.I have to find five more flowers to meet the requirements on the list.

Today, I have searched for the moonflowers in several places in the mountains, but I can only pick five. Let's try my luck tomorrow!
Chu Liandong wrapped the box with cloth strips and carefully put it in the basket, and was about to get up and look for regular medicinal materials elsewhere.

The winding mountain road is not easy to walk, and the stones stained with wet mud can make people fall hard if they are not careful.

She walked very carefully, after all, when she first came to try to collect herbs, she suffered a lot from it.
