Chapter 4 Selling Snakes
  Seeing the black-tailed snake twisting its body again and preparing to attack Shen Yan, Shen Yan calmly tightened the stick in his hand. The moment the snake pounced, Shen Yan took aim and swung the snake out with a stick. , the snake hit the tree trunk directly, and was dangling as it wanted to get up again. Shen Yan went over and restrained its seven inches, preventing it from moving. He took out the rattan, tied the snake carefully and threw it into the basket on his back.
  Shen Yan put her hands on her hips, wiped the sweat from her head, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, do all people who travel through time have such a miserable start?
  In the next two hours, Shen Yan found some wild fruits and edible medicinal materials in the forest one after another. Going deeper, Shen Yan vaguely felt that something was not right. Thinking of the original owner's impression of this mountain forest, it seemed that There were many ferocious beasts inside, and many people in the village lost their lives because they didn't pay attention.

Shen Yan stopped, looked at the dense and dark forest inside, and slowly retreated along the way he came.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Shen? Why didn't you collapse at home today? Why are you carrying something on your back?" A man with a scab on his face smiled mischievously and wanted to reach out and take off Shen Yan's backpack.

Shen Yan's eyes turned cold, and when he was about to touch the man, he clamped down on his wrist. The man tried hard to break free, but found that he couldn't move at all. Shen Yan looked at the struggling man with a smile: "Why, do you want to see it?" Before the man could react, he kicked the man's progeny hard again.

"what--"

Shen Yan directly let go of the man's hand, and the man fell to the ground and rolled around like a soft-footed shrimp.

"You bitch..."

She kept spitting out dirty words, and Shen Yan frowned when she heard them. She slapped the man a few more times, beating him until he begged for mercy! Not wanting to waste more time on this kind of person, and with a child at home, Shen Yan hurried straight towards home.

  Chen Yuan covered her stomach and sat quietly in the yard, her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

"Yuanzi——"

Before entering the door, Shen Yan noticed Chen Yuan's small figure.

In my impression, people who liked Chen Yuan liked to call him Yuanzi, and Shen Yan followed those people's call.

However, Chen Yuan would still tremble subconsciously when she heard Shen Yan's voice. Chen Yuan still had a stress reaction to all Shen Yan's actions.

"Look what I brought back today? We don't have to go hungry today!"

Chen Yuan timidly looked at the basket that Shen Yan carried back, with some disbelief in her eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but widen a little!
  His eyes glanced at Shen Yan from time to time, and he felt a little sore in his heart. Is this still the mother who would beat and scold him every day?
  The world of children is sometimes very simple, and the desire to be loved sometimes overcomes fear.

"Try it, this fruit is quite sweet!"

Shen Yan handed a emerald red fruit to Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan would still look at Shen Yan with panic in his eyes. He slowly took the fruit with trembling hands and put it to his mouth, but did not dare to eat it for fear of Shen Yan. Suddenly he turned around.

Shen Yan didn't say anything when he saw it. Some of the damage couldn't be completely erased in a day or two. This little guy was quite pitiful.

"I'm going out to the county tomorrow. Will you go?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan stiffened, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his body was shaking violently.

Shen Yan found that Chen Yuan's state this time was different from what he had shown before. This time it was very strange.

Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Chen Yuan shaking his head, his mouth pursed, and tears falling down.

Seeing that someone was so wrong, Shen Yan panicked for a moment, and quickly thought carefully about what she had just said. What came to mind, she patted her head and quickly comforted: "No, I didn't mean that. I just went to the county to do some things. I didn't have anything to do." Sell ​​your mind!”

Chen Yuan's eyes were still misty, and even her nose was red from crying, but at least she stopped crying. Shen Yan saw Chen Yuan sniffing and sniffing, and couldn't help scratching the child's red nose, "Look, stop crying. Tomorrow... I'll bring you something to eat." Come back!"

-

The next day.

Shen Yan walked slowly to the place where the bullock cart was sitting at the entrance of the village. She saw the old man driving the bullock cart shaking grass roots in his mouth boredly, "Uncle Liu, I want to go to the county!"

As soon as Uncle Liu saw Lai Huo, he immediately stopped shaking and sat up like a carp. Seeing that the person coming was Shen Yan, he was suspicious for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Are you going to the county? Are you rich?"

Without saying anything, Shen Yan took out two copper coins from his pocket, which was just enough for the fare! Uncle Liu saw the money and was satisfied, "OK! Get in the car! Sit tight!"

He immediately got ready and greeted Shen Yan.

The oxcart drove slowly along the trail. Shen Yan could enjoy the scenery at first, but later she felt more and more uncomfortable. It was so bumpy that Shen Yan's stomach kept rolling.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived outside the county town. Shen Yan climbed down from the bullock cart, holding on to the tree on one side, while taking out the money and throwing it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu happily took it and said, "Madam Chen, how long has it been since you last sat in my old man's car and you are now like this? Come back when you come back!"

With that said, he drove the car aside and waited for the next batch of customers. After Shen Yan felt better, he carried his small backpack and went to Baicaotang, the largest medical center in the county.

When Shen Yan was about to go in, he saw an enthusiastic young man coming to greet him. He glanced at Shen Yan calmly, and then said with a smile: "What's wrong, madam? What's wrong with your body? I can definitely help you here." The medicine cures the disease!"

Shen Yan responded quietly: "No, I just found some medicinal materials recently, and I want to see if you can accept them?"

Hearing this, the young man frowned imperceptibly and glanced into Shen Yan's basket for a few times. When he saw that he couldn't see anything, he smiled and said: "As long as your medicinal materials meet the requirements, I will naturally accept them, but , this will have to wait for our shopkeeper to see! I can’t make the decision!”

"It's natural!"

The waiter first invited Shen Yan in and sat in the tea room, separated from the people who were prescribing medicine.

"Awaited?"

When the shopkeeper came in and saw Shen Yan, he was stunned for a moment. It is really rare to see a woman with a physique like Shen Yan in this day and age.

"I wonder what kind of medicine this little lady wants to sell?"

Shen Yan first took out a bunch of medicinal materials from a small basket on his back, "Shopkeeper, please look, I picked these from the mountains yesterday and have already processed them!"

The shopkeeper looked at the neatly arranged medicinal materials, touched his beard and shook his head, "The processing is indeed okay, but we still have quite a lot of pinellia, bupleurum, and bletilla in the medicine hall. At this price..."

Shen Yan knew what he was going to say as soon as he heard it, and took out the black-tailed snake caught yesterday. Although the snake was slightly hit, it was still alive.

As soon as he took it out, the snake's tail jumped up and down, and even swung its tail into the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper was so upset by Shen Yan's behavior, he pointed at Shen Yan and his face turned red, "Ahem, why did you bring a snake?" He was obviously a little annoyed, "I'm sorry, I don't know if you can handle snakes?"

"Why don't you go to those snake dealers if you want snakes? Why do you come to my medical clinic?"

“Snakes can also be used as medicine!”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper slowly calmed down. Can snakes be used as medicine? Used as medicine...

As if he had just remembered something, his eyes brightened slightly, "Where did you hear this, little lady? I have indeed compiled relevant information from my former teacher's notes recently!"

Shen Yan didn't expect that there was no such thing as snakes being used as medicine in this era. He was silent for a moment and said softly: "I have seen my mother use this to make medicinal wine before, and my father has used this to cure many diseases."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became interested, "What kind of diseases is this usually used for?"

Shen Yan raised his eyes and glanced sideways at the shopkeeper, who immediately sneered and said, "It's easy to talk about the price!"

After hearing this, Shen Yan began to tell the shopkeeper some recipes for using snakes as medicine.

The shopkeeper's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he clicked his tongue from time to time. However, the ancients sometimes had really good brains. Shen Yan only told the shopkeeper a few prescriptions, and he was able to draw inferences later on, and he could also draw inferences based on his own opinions. Years of experience have given us some better tips.

Of course, this is based on the background of this era. What Shen Yan said is naturally correct, but the naming of some medicinal materials in this world is different from Shen Yan's previous world. After the shopkeeper finished changing it, Shen Yan carefully compared what he said. Regarding the related medicinal properties, I found that it was almost the same as the original prescription.

After a hearty chat, the two people’s eyes seemed to be shining, and they regretted meeting each other so late.

"Where did you learn from me, little lady?"

Seeing Shen Yan's silence, the shopkeeper's eyes rolled away and he changed the topic, "Look at me, I'm just picking on these issues! I hope you don't mind, little lady. By the way, these things, even if you are ten Two!"

Shen Yan thought seriously for a moment and nodded, "Okay!"

Three taels of silver is almost the annual income of an ordinary family, let alone ten taels.

Shen Yan left the medical center and went straight to the place where food was sold.

The golden finger on his hand is useless now. Shen Yan has never thought about practicing medicine, but in this era, practicing medicine requires a medical certificate from the government, and it is extremely difficult to open a female household. As for farming, The results are too slow, so do business first.

What's the best thing to do on a hot summer day? Of course it’s a cold dish! Shen Yan thought of the cold food he had eaten in the summer in his previous life. It was so memorable that Shen Yan decided to start with cold skin!
