Game slow travel: I am serious about hoarding goods

Chapter 33 Bitten by a Snake

When Jiang Quhan and Grandma Li arrived, Li Fugui's house had already surrounded many villagers, and most of them were talking quietly in the small courtyard outside.

An old lady pointed at the people in the room outside and shouted: "Our old Li's family starved to death, you evil spirit, you are so greedy if you let my grandson go hunting in Daqingshan."

Gangzi was placed on the bed in the room, screaming in pain.

Jiang Quhan and Grandma Li squeezed into the room, and saw a woman sitting at the end of the bed wiping her tears, and a man next to her admonishing the woman: "I only know how to get used to it, and when something happens, I know how to cry, cry What's the use of crying!"

The woman didn't talk back, she just cried sadly.

Li Yuanfu, a hunter in Xiaotao Village, was administering medicine to Gangzi. His leg was bitten, and the bitten place was already red and swollen.

Grandma Li looked at the wound, and asked the man standing next to her, "Fugui, please hire a doctor."

Seeing that it was Grandma Li, Li Fugui quickly came over to help her sit up, and said: "Yuan Fu said that this snake is not poisonous, he has experience in doing this, and the doctor's medicine is not as effective as his medicine."

Grandma Li was relieved when she heard that there was no poison, and she waved her hand to Li Fugui, "It's good that people are fine, and don't scold your wife, it's just such a son, if he doesn't get used to him, he won't be used to anyone else, and when he grows up, he won't be able to do anything. I can't control it, it's good to learn a lesson, next time I will see if he dares to run into Daqingshan."

Li Fugui responded quickly. He respected Grandma Li very much. One reason was that Grandma Li was a human being.

Grandma Li looked at Gangzi who was lying on the bed howling again. His legs looked badly swollen, but he was in good spirits, and he didn't look like he was in serious trouble.

She said to Li Yuanfu who was still helping with the bandage, "It's thanks to you, Yuanfu."

Li Yuanfu smiled foolishly: "Auntie, they are all from the same village, we just know this, we should."

Grandma Li nodded with a smile, and led Jiang Quhan out.

When Jiang Quhan saw Gangzi's red and swollen legs, he was really scared. He went to Daqing Mountain to run so deep and didn't encounter any snakes. He was really lucky.
When they went out, an old woman outside was still jumping and yelling, and the more she scolded, the more she couldn't bear it.Many villagers watching around did not see anyone going up to persuade them.

Grandma Li didn't care, she just dragged Jiang Quhan out of their house.

On the way back, Grandma Li said to Jiang Quhan, "Mother Fugui is a fool. I will get some eggs and food when I get home, and you can send them to Yuanfu's family. They have done such a great favor. Difficult, your rich uncle's family has nothing to thank him for."

Jiang Quhan responded obediently: "Understood, grandma."

Jiang Quhan really wanted to gossip, but seeing Grandma Li's appearance, he didn't intend to.

When she got home, Grandma Li took two catties of coarse grains and six eggs, put them in a small basket, handed them to Jiang Quhan, and said, "I'll go in the afternoon when the sun is lower."

Jiang Quhan said that she knew that she didn't plan to go now at noon in such a hot day, she had already made plans, and she would go directly to Xiaotao Mountain to find wild vegetables after delivering the things later.

Jiang Quhan continued to chop up the unfinished dead fish and feed them to the chickens. After finishing these, she ran to the room and took a nap. After waking up, she carried the bamboo betel on her back and went out with a basket.

Li Yuanfu's house is at the end of the village, close to Xiaotao Mountain, and Jiang Quhan is also on the way. When she arrived outside his house, she faintly heard a woman's voice coming from the house: "Fugui's family is too stingy, you are too stingy today. If you have done them such a big favor, it’s fine if you don’t give anything, and you won’t be given a meal.”

There was another man's voice: "Okay, this year's situation, I don't know when the food at home is. Everyone in a village has to help. You said it's already noon."

The woman was a little unconvinced: "I don't do things like that. I helped out when I was busy. If you don't mind me, I will say a few words. Next time there is something at his house, I will return it directly."

Jiang Quhan was a little bit embarrassed when he heard it, is this the way of the world?

Jiang Quhan made some noise on purpose, and when the room was silent, she walked to the gate of the yard and looked inside.Li Yuanfu was sitting in a shaded place under the house, handling animal furs, and a woman was watering a small vegetable patch in the yard.

This woman is Li Yuanfu's daughter-in-law Wu Shi.

Seeing Jiang Quhan, Wu quickly asked, "Chrysanthemum, why are you here, come in for a glass of water."

Jiang Quhan walked in, handed the basket to Mrs. Wu and said, "Auntie, my grandma asked me to send something to Uncle Yuanfu, saying that Uncle Yuanfu will suffer today."

Seeing the delivery, Mrs. Wu smiled genuinely, "They all belong to the same village, so they should be busy at this point, so what else can they give away?"

Jiang Quhan stuffed the basket into Wu's hands, and said with a smile: "Grandma said, Uncle Fugui's family must be terrified today, and they can't take care of some things, so they specially ordered me to send it to thank Uncle Yuanfu."

Hearing what Jiang Quhan said, Mrs. Wu wondered if she had heard what she said before, and felt a little embarrassed.Please be polite.

Jiang Quhan continued: "Auntie, take something to pack, I have to go to Daqingshan to dig wild vegetables after I deliver it."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Wu said how embarrassing it was, and went to the house to get a basket.Jiang Quhan removed the blue cloth that covered the basket, and put the grain and eggs into the basket that Wu was holding. Seeing so many eggs and grain, Wu's eyes lit up.

She took Jiang Quhan's hand: "Your grandma is too polite, drink some water before leaving."

"No, Auntie, I have something else to do." After Jiang Quhan finished speaking, he took the basket and carried the bamboo beetle on his back and left.

After walking for a while, there were faint voices coming from the room again, but Jiang Quhan didn't listen carefully.

She wants to find wild vegetables now.

The wild vegetables in Xiaotao Mountain are dug by half-grown children every day. Jiang Quhan searched for a long time, but only found a few old wild vegetables with bad taste.

Fortunately, she couldn't get it in her space before, so she found a place where no one was around, and took a few handfuls that were tender and fresh.

She didn't dare to take more, for fear of being suspected, as long as it was enough to cook a pot at night.

After Jiang Quhan finished, he hurried home. Now dinner at home is very early, and it's late to go back. Don't make salted fish paste again.

When Jiang Quhan arrived home, he carried the bamboo loaf and went straight to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Mrs. Qian was lighting the fire and preparing to cook dinner. Jiang Quhan hurriedly took out the wild vegetables from the bamboo loaf and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be confused about cooking wild vegetables tonight."

Qian was also very happy to see the wild vegetables, and asked, "Where can you find such tender wild vegetables?"

Jiang Quhan chuckled, leaned into Qian's ear and whispered, "I won't tell you."

Qian Shi smiled and patted her.

It was still dark, and everyone who worked at home came back. They were very happy to see that the dinner was wild vegetables instead of fish.

After dinner, Li Mancang and Li Mandun went to the village chief's house together.
