Chapter VII
The next day, Long Xiaoshan got up in the morning. Early in the morning, Long Dashan went to work in a sawmill a few miles away.
Long Xiaoshan ate some corn and chatted with He Xiangyue for a while at home.
He took out a basket and bucket from behind the door and prepared to go out.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Long Xiaoling saw Long Xiaoshan carrying a basket on his back.
"I went to the mountain channel to catch some shrimps and came back. My mother's leg was broken. It should be caused by calcium deficiency. Shrimps can supplement calcium. Let's see if we can dig up some herbs." Long Xiaoshan said.
"Brother, I want to go too."
"Don't go, stay home and take care of our mother."
"All right."
Long Xiaoshan quickly walked towards the back mountain with a basket of water and buckets on his back. When Lao Chang taught him medical skills, he gave him a thick medical book.
There are many prescriptions in it.
Lao Chang asked him to read this book more in the future and not to pass it on to others.
Long Xiaoshan is a studious person and has nothing else to do in prison. Especially after he became the prison tyrant, his subordinates did everything for him.
So he often flipped through the medical book when he had nothing to do.
As time passed, he memorized everything in it, but in prison, there were naturally no herbs to experiment with.
He remembered that there was a prescription called Shenggu Powder, which was said to be miraculous in restoring bone injuries, and he wanted to prepare it and give it a try.
On the way to the back mountain, you have to walk through a large valley.
Long Xiaoshan walked along the field path for more than ten minutes. When he was approaching the back mountain, Long Xiaoshan stopped. He heard some rustling sounds in the valley.
Could it be that the wild boars from the mountains came down to gnaw the corn
Although this piece of corn field did not belong to his family, they were all fellow villagers. Long Xiaoshan did not want to see the good corn crop being eaten by wild boars, so he hurriedly took a few steps in the direction of the sound.
Since Long Xiaoshan practiced the "Secret of Immortality", his hearing was better than that of ordinary people, so he heard two voices faintly coming from the valley.
"Uncle Fakui, let me go."
"Chuntao, just obey my uncle. I won't treat you badly. Look, this is the gold bracelet I just bought for you from the county."
"I don't want it, Uncle Fakui... don't... I'm going to call someone if you do this again!"
"You go ahead and shout. Even if you call someone to come, I will tell you that you seduced me, little coquettish hoof. Let's see how you behave in the village from now on!"
There was a sound of tearing cloth in the valley.
Long Xiaoshan coughed hard.
The sounds in the valley suddenly stopped.
After a while, the sound of a man in pain was heard, and a disheveled woman ran out of the valley in a panic. She ran into Long Xiaoshan in a panic, and Long Xiaoshan helped her.
This is a twenty-three or four-year-old woman. Her skin is slightly tanned, but it cannot hide her natural beauty. She has a half-torn sweatshirt covered with both hands. The flesh below her neck is unusually delicate and fair, with a faint flesh color leaking out. A wave of heat surged up in Long Xiaoshan's belly.
"Chuntao!"
Long Xiaoshan quickly recognized this woman. She was a young widow in his village. Long Xiaoshan was only seventeen years old at the time and still clearly remembered the surprise that Chuntao brought to him when he first entered the village. Although Longyang Village is also famous for its beautiful women. , but beautiful women like Chuntao are still rare. I don’t know if it’s because the beauty is unlucky, or because of the curse of the widow’s village, her man will die immediately on the night of the wedding.
Long Xiaoshan had been in prison for three years and thought that such a beautiful woman as Chuntao must have remarried. Unexpectedly, she was still in the village. For a moment, he was in a daze, as if many disappeared memories were coming back to him.
Chuntao looked up and saw a tall, lean young man standing in front of her, with sharp features and a scar that added a bit of evil aura.
Chuntao was even more panicked when she was supported by a strange man, but when she heard the footsteps chasing after her, she was confused and hurriedly hid behind the strange man.
Another middle-aged man emerged from the valley. He was in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a shirt and a gold chain. He had a dark face and was covering his crotch with one hand, looking uncomfortable.
When he came out, he saw Chuntao hiding behind a strange man. If the man hadn't coughed just now, he wouldn't have been kicked in the crotch by Chuntao. He felt angry and said, "Where did you come from?"
"Uncle Fakui." Long Xiaoshan called lightly.
The surname of Longyang Village is Long, and most of them are related by relatives. He also knows this middle-aged man named Long Fakui, who is a capable person in Longyang Village. He went to the county to work as a gangster very early, and later it is said that his business has also improved. After he started working, he bought a house in the county. You can only see him during the holidays.
Long Fakui took a closer look and said, "It turns out it's you, Xiao Shanzi, you're back from jail!"
Long Xiaoshan is also a celebrity in Longyang Village. He is very good at reading and is the first college student in the village. They say he is a Wenqu star. He used to feel dull and only knew how to study, but now he looks a little different.
However, Long Fakui didn't think much about it, and said unhappily at being disturbed: "What are you doing here in the valley?"
Long Xiaoshan said: "I heard a sound and thought it was a wild boar coming to Gongbao Valley. Come and take a look."
"Then you see now that there are no wild boars. Come back quickly." Long Fakui waved his hand and said impatiently.
Long Xiaoshan and Chuntao who were hiding behind him said, "Chuntao, your clothes are torn, come back with me."
When Long Fakui heard this, he was unhappy. He said in a gloomy tone: "Xiao Shanzi, you can go back by yourself. I will send Chuntao back."
Long Xiaoshan smiled but did not respond. He looked at Chuntao and said, "Chuntao, will you go back with me?"
Chuntao was very scared, but when she saw Long Xiaoshan's smile, she summoned up some courage and said, "Yes."
"Uncle Fakui, I'll send Chuntao back first." After speaking, Long Xiaoshan pulled Chuntao's sleeve and walked out of Bao Valley.
When Long Fakui saw that Long Xiaoshan had really taken Chuntao away, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He, Long Fakui, was the local bully in Longyang Village. Who dared to go against him.
Walking back to the entrance of the village, Chuntao whispered like a mosquito: "Xiao Shanzi, thank you. You go ahead and don't see me off."
After saying that, she ran away again in a panic without raising her head.
Long Xiaoshan looked at Chuntao panicking like a little rabbit and shook his head. He probably was not much different from Long Fakui in Chuntao's mind. It must have spread throughout the village that he was a rapist.
Near noon, Long Xiaoshan came down from the mountain canal. He had already fished out half a bucket of shrimps in his bucket. Seeing that it was still early, Long Xiaoshan ate two bracts and looked for medicinal herbs in the back mountain. In the prison After all, it is just knowledge in books and has not been practiced in detail.
Soon, Long Xiaoshan's eyes lit up: "Mu Shicao."
He ran to a stone and dug out from under the stone an herb with gray leaves and many lines on it. After careful observation, he determined that this was Mu Shicao, one of the herbs used to prepare Shenggu Powder.
I got off to a good start, I didn’t expect to find a herb so easily.
Long Xiaoshan's emotions were aroused.
Continuing to search, Long Xiaoshan soon found another herb called Black Wood Vine. Although it was not the herb used to prepare Shenggu Powder, it was one of the herbs worth a thousand gold prescription.
Purple fragrant fruit.
Fireweed.
Long Xiaoshan discovered more and more herbs. He discovered that the back mountain was full of herbs. Is there no one to pick them
Or is he the only one who knows these herbs
Long Xiaoshan became interested in digging and walked deeper and deeper into the mountain. Unexpectedly, the large rattan basket he carried on his back, which usually contained pigweed, was filled with medicinal herbs.
