Chapter 69

Xiao Jiaojiao found the second grandfather with her longing for braised lion heads.

"Prescription?" Second Grandpa Qin picked up his little niece and granddaughter, "Jiaojiao is worried about the scar on your sister Xue'er's forehead, right? Okay, Second Grandpa will give you the prescription."

In fact, there was no need for Qin Jiao to ask for it. Second Grandma Qin had already gone to the health center with the few ointments left at home.But as the villagers said, it is becoming more and more difficult to find good medicinal materials, and the effect of the ointment made is less and less obvious.

"How does Jiaojiao plan to find medicine?"

Carrying the little milk baby to the house, he dug out the box containing the prescriptions. After taking it to the main room and sitting down, Second Grandpa Qin opened it for her to see.

"Do you know the words?"

"I don't know!" the little milk said firmly, "Brother can read!"

"Jiaojiao asked my brother to look for it?"

"No way, my brother can read, but he doesn't know herbs, so Jiaojiao can go by himself."

Xiao Jiaojiao twisted her chubby waist and turned to look at Second Grandpa: "Second Grandpa draws a picture for Jiaojiao, and then smells the ointment to Jiaojiao, and it will know. Jiaojiao is great!"

Grandpa Qin's gray eyebrows moved slightly, and he put the little baby on the chair to sit firmly, then went to another room, and took out a handwritten medicine book.There is also a long wooden box.Jiaojiao has seen this wooden box a few times, and it is very similar to the ones in her family. I heard from my grandfather that it is a box handed down from the family for medicinal herbs.

Grandpa Qin Er carefully opened the long wooden box, revealing several small compartments on the five floors inside.

This long wooden box has a total of 120 seven small grids, and each small grid contains a kind of medicinal material.The ancestors of the Qin family who made this box were very exquisite in craftsmanship, and the wood they chose was also a high-end product that is anti-corrosion and moisture-proof.

Over the years, Second Grandpa Qin would replace the medicinal materials in the small grids at regular intervals, but unfortunately, there are still more than a dozen grids that are empty.In addition, there are more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials that can no longer be replaced.If he didn't throw it away, Second Grandpa Qin still had a little hope.

The little black snake squatted obediently on the wooden box, sniffed the medicinal materials in each grid, and then coiled into a ball, shaking its little head up and down gently.

"Second Grandpa, Xiaojiaojiao said that there are many mountains here! You tell it, what kind do you want?"

The whole family knew about their little girl's ability to communicate with the little black snake, but they didn't say a word. Maybe Qin Sheng's father, who hadn't fully integrated into the beautiful life, didn't know his daughter's ability.

Grandpa Qin Er pointed out several kinds of medicinal materials, and after letting the little black snake sniff it again, he put away the medicinal material box.Then he opened the book and showed Jiao Jiao and the little black snake the plant forms of the medicinal materials he was looking for.

Although Xiao Jiaojiao is illiterate, she has a good memory. She will basically not forget what she has seen or heard.The illiteracy is also because the eldest uncle Song Qi said that children don't need to start learning too early, and it is best to be able to teach while having fun.

So Xiao Jiaojiao can recite many ancient poems and essays, and can also recite prescriptions in medical books, but she can't understand the meaning of the words in the books by herself.

Just about to go out and go up the mountain, Qin Shu dragged Qin Jun to look for him.

"Sister, your brother and I are going to play in the mountains, do you want to go? Grandpa Hei said that some new fossils have been found in the caves on the mountain, and we want to go and have a look."

"Yes!" Xiao Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to ask her brother to carry it, "Come on, we have to go up the mountain to find medicine for Sister Xue'er."

"Looking for medicine?" Qin Jun raised his head to look at the second grandfather in confusion. The old man smiled and told them about the situation. Qin Jun snorted and took the book to read again.

"Xiaojun, if you have time, take this book and copy it again. These things are treasures left by the ancestors of our old Qin family, so we can't just cut them off like this. I'm afraid our old Qin family is talented. It’s just you and Jiaojiao, and you will inherit these from now on.”

His son is studying the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but now it is obvious that he has placed more emphasis on Western medicine.The grandson's health is not good, it is a family hereditary disease from his mother, and now he is living in the public house outside the provincial capital.

Grandpa Qin Er once proposed to let his grandson come back, but his daughter-in-law disagreed, saying that the conditions on the mountain were not good, and if the child had any accident, it would be too late to rescue him.

Seeing the disgusting look in his daughter-in-law's eyes, the second grandfather never mentioned this matter again.

Apart from the three little ones, several other older children in the village were also preparing to go up the mountain, but they were different from the third child of the Qin family. They were training with Meng Dabiao's security team.

There are almost 30 people in the security team, usually divided into two shifts, mainly responsible for escorting researchers to go out for investigation and scientific research, and another six people work in three shifts, responsible for security patrols and other work of the research institute.

When these team members are not at work, they will arrange three to four hours of training time every day, mainly for field training, identifying whether plants are harmful, observing and rescuing wild animals, and weight-bearing exercises.

Originally, only Qin Chao and another boy who planned to join the army trained with the guards. Later, other boys also wanted to follow. The village chief thought it would be good for them to be trained, so as not to spend all day fooling around in the mountains.

In addition, the village head is still a little cautious.Not every child is a material for reading, and if they really can't read it, if they perform well after training, can't they sign up to join the guard team as soon as possible.

Meng Dabiao also knew what the village chief thought. This was normal and did not violate the work rules. Chasing a sheep is chasing a sheep, but chasing a flock is also chasing a flock.Besides, since he left Qinjiagou to work for a while, he found that although Qinjiagou is remote and closed, the atmosphere of the whole village is quite good.I dare not say that everyone is Guang Weizheng, but compared to other similar mountain villages he has known, there are really not many people who have positive thoughts.

Compared with Qin Jun, who was weak and weak, Qin Shu was stronger, and he also wanted to train with the guards, but was rejected by Uncle Meng Dabiao.

Meng Dabiao refused to take Qin Shu up the mountain because of other reasons, mainly because the child was still young, and the physical exertion of going up the mountain was too much for him. With so many people, it was impossible to fully take care of Qin Shu's progress, so Meng Dabiao Said that after he turned 17 years old, he would follow the training.

With envy, he watched the members of the guard team go up the mountain wearing camouflage vests and camouflage pants. When they were no longer visible, Qin Shu sighed and turned around to look at the entrance of the cave.

The fossils have been moved out and temporarily stored in a tent outside the cave entrance. After the first step of cleaning is completed, they will be numbered, packed and transported down the mountain.

After watching for a while, Xiao Jiaojiao couldn't help pulling her brother's finger.

"Brother, it's time for us to find herbs."

Qin Shu picked up his younger sister and bit her chubby cheek lightly: "I'll go with your brother, you just stay here."

"No!" Qin Jiao pouted, "If I don't go, you won't be able to find it."

"Hey, the little girl is quite arrogant in her movies, you should underestimate your two brothers, wait, and see my brother bring you the medicine back."

Qin Jiao frowned, stretched out her hands to hold Qin Shu's face, "I'm serious, you can't find it without Xiao Jiaojiao to lead the way."
