The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 8

Li Xiang'e nodded affirmatively, and patiently explained to Mother Li.

"Yes, mother, I went to the mountain and accidentally saw a lot of medicinal materials, so I picked some and brought them back. When they are processed, I can take them to the medicine shop and exchange them for copper plates, or I can try to make pills myself..."

Li's mother caught the key point in Li Xiang'e's words and was very surprised.

He quickly asked his doubts.

"Xiang'e, do you know medicine? When did you learn it?"

Li Xiang'e pursed her lips and began to fool around.

"Mother, it's like this. When I was in Lijia Village, I met an old man with a white beard on the mountain. He was a doctor. He said that he was destined for me, so he taught me for a few months and gave me some recipes as a gift. So, this time on the mountain today, I saw a familiar medicinal material, so I couldn't help picking it back."

After speaking, Li Xiang'e had an idea.

Yup!

You can make all kinds of pills yourself, why bother to sell medicinal materials directly?

Not to mention not being able to sell for much silver, it is easy to be priced down.

This method works!

Looks like she's going to have to change tack.

The idea of ​​pills was just a random talk, but now Li Xiang'e decided to make it into a pill!
After listening to Li Xiang'e's explanation, Mother Li nodded with joy.

So happy for Lee Hyang Ah.

"Great, Xiang'e, this is your chance! When your father comes back, I must share this good news with him!"

You know, in this day and age, people who know some medical skills are respected and admired.

Who can guarantee when you will not get sick!

Who can guarantee that you don't have time to ask others!
"As long as mother is happy!"

Li Xiang'e saw that the reasons she gave had convinced Li's mother, so she decided to strike while the iron was hot and quickly made the pills.

Whether you sell it or keep it for self-defense, be prepared!
Li's mother looked at Li Xiang'e, who was getting more and more energetic day by day, and finally no longer worried that her daughter would return to the dying state before.

She felt completely at ease now!

In the evening, Li Xiang'e sorted the prepared pills into bottles and stacked them in the space, then stretched and left the room.

Father Li was already sitting at the table.

Mother Li put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, looked at Li Xiang'e and reminded her with a smile.

"Xiang'e, go ask Ling'er and Hao'er to come in for dinner, there is rice they like."

Li Xiang'e looked outside.

Ling'er and Hao'er are playing.

"Okay mother, I'll go and ask them to come in."

Looking at the richer food on the table than before, Ling'er and Hao'er cheered again that there was something delicious.

This scene made Li Xiang'e very sad.

In the eyes of the children, the rich meals on the table are actually compared with the time when there were not enough wild vegetables to eat.

From her own point of view, it was just some rough food.

But at this time, in the eyes of the two children, it was quite delicious.

Be sure to let the family live a good life!

Be sure to feed Ling'er and Hao'er two little puppies to make them fat and white!
Li Xiang'e once again made a fist in her heart and swore.

Late at night.

Seeing that the younger brother was still awake, Li Xiang'e was a little puzzled, so she stepped forward to find out.

As a result, Li Xiang'e went over to take a look, only to find that her younger brother was squatting on the ground by candlelight, and was writing and drawing with a branch in his hand.

Li Xiang'e was surprised.

"Xiaohao, are you literate?"

Li Hao paused.

Looking up at Li Xiang'e, Li Hao pursed his lips, suddenly aggrieved.

"Sister, you taught Hao'er how to read, you forgot?!"

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Li Xiang'e's forehead, and she quickly searched for the memory of the original owner.

Ok.

The "she" in my memory did know how to read, and Haoer was also taught by "she".

Li Xiang'e suddenly felt ashamed.

Unexpectedly, the original owner was literate, better than himself.

After all, the characters of the Great Yong Dynasty are traditional characters, and she can recognize most of them, but let her write them out, ha ha, this is too embarrassing, she can't write it out! !
People who have been learning Simplified Chinese characters since childhood can't afford to be hurt! !

At this moment, Li Xiang'e realized a fact.

She seems to have become a semi-literate! !
I'm so ashamed, I want to hit the wall.

"elder sister?"

Xiao Douding noticed that her sister was in a daze and yelled.

Li Xiang'e came back to her senses, blinked, a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohao, my sister was ill before, and I can't remember some things clearly."

Li Hao suddenly realized.

"oh, I see!"

Li Xiang'e touched Li Hao's head and praised.

"Hao'er is really good, he knows a lot of words."

Li Hao held his head high, very happy.

It seems that Hao'er is quite talented in reading. If it weren't for the drought and the family fled the famine, even if they tried their best, Li's father and Li's mother would let Xiao Hao go to school to study, Li Xiang'e thought so .

When the drought is over, I will definitely find a good wife for Haoer when I have a chance!
Even if you don't take the imperial examination, you can at least avoid being cheated when you sign a contract in the future! !
Li Xiang'e looked up at the sky through the gap in the roof, her mouth was silent.

almost!

In the morning, the weather was clear and cloudless.

Li Xiang'e was walking around when she heard a noise, and there were people gathered in front of her.

What happened?
Someone is arguing?
Li Xiang'e thought uncertainly.

There are so many people!
When he stepped forward, he saw two men arguing.

Before everyone stopped them, both of them started to beat their heads so badly that they couldn't bear to look directly at them.

She asked an aunt next to her who was watching the fun, and only then did she learn the cause and effect.

It turned out that the two people who were quarreling were originally very good friends, but they turned their faces and became enemies because of a few taels of silver.

After hearing this, Li Xiang'e didn't feel anything, turned around and left, and stopped paying attention.

People die for money, birds die for food, and it will never change!
Li Xiang'e suddenly remembered the days of the last days——

In the last days, some people would sell their children, friends, relatives, girlfriends just for one bite of food... There are a lot of situations, all kinds of dark, indifferent, cold-blooded and vicious things happen frequently, only you can't think of, there is nothing you can't encounter...

Compared with this, the situation of those two people is nothing more than nothing!
I really am an indifferent person, as long as my family is safe and sound, what do other people's affairs have to do with me?

My family has not sorted out their own affairs, and I have no extra energy to spread compassion and kindness.

In the last days, even if you help others by yourself, it is under the condition that there is no threat to yourself;

Even if it is given to ordinary people without supernatural powers, it is only carried out under the premise that their own food is sufficient and does not affect the overall situation...

After dinner, when the family was chatting, Father Li happened to mention this matter.

He really didn't understand, how could the troubles come to this point after a fight between brothers.

Father Li shook his head, then sighed.

"If it were me and Brother Zhang, we would definitely not turn our faces for some money. We are good brothers who grew up together and wore the same pair of pants. Tsk tsk, what's the matter!"

Hearing this, Li Xiang'e felt a click in her heart for some reason.

A little money is not enough to make you fall out, what if... a lot of money?

Dad, can you still guarantee that your brother will still be your good brother at that time?
Suddenly, Li Xiang'e had a bad feeling.

However, after thinking about it, the relationship between Uncle Zhang and his father has always been good.

Furthermore, it would be nice if the silver obtained from hunting occasionally could support everyone’s survival. How could there be any excess that would cause conflicts?
Maybe you think too much.

——This is not the end of the world, people's hearts are not so complicated!

It can't be generalized.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiang'e didn't care anymore, and turned away her thoughts.

In the middle of the night, Li Xiang'e was sound asleep, as if she heard the roar of a tiger, and seemed to hear something calling her in a trance...

Far and near...

"Master Xiangxiang, where are you, don't you want to meow? Master..."
