I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 386 The Child Bride-in-Law Who Died in Miscarriage (8)

So, after hearing from the villagers that Cheng Jiadong had gone to the township examination, Uncle Shen was very worried about A-Jiang.

In the evening, when the dinner was ready and the three of them were sitting at the dining table to eat, Uncle Shen's hesitant appearance made Shi Jiang put down his rice bowl and said to Uncle Shen, "Grandpa, don't worry, the Cheng family has nothing to do with me now. Even if he became a first-rank official, it has nothing to do with us. What's more, he, Cheng Jiadong, is only going to take the provincial examination, and he is not already in high school. Like him, he has not yet been in high school, and the Cheng family will spread the word You know, when you fail the ranking, you still don't know what will happen!"

After all, Cheng Jiadong failed the imperial examination in the year after Yuanchen's death.

However, at that time Yuanben died due to a miscarriage, and people in the village speculated that Cheng Jiadong was overly sad because of the two deaths of his daughter-in-law who grew up with him, so he failed the scientific examination.

After hearing A-Jiang's explanation, Uncle Shen frowned even tighter.

If it really doesn't matter, why bother thinking about Cheng Jiadong's failure?

If Shi Jiang knew Uncle Shen's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for being wronged.

"Well, tomorrow I'm going to the mountains to find some herbs, and you've known each other for so many days, so you should follow me into the mountains to have a look."

After all, the medicinal materials picked by him are somewhat different from the medicinal materials that grow in the mountains, so it is good to take this opportunity to make Ajaan lose his mind.

Shi Jiang didn't think much, just nodded and agreed.

As it happened, as long as she followed Uncle Shen to the mountains and dug medicinal materials, Uncle Shen would not stop her from going to the mountains in the future.

In that case, she can also take the opportunity to get some things out and exchange them for some money, so that the Shen family's life will be easier.

Some time ago, Uncle Shen bought a lot of ginseng slices in order to prep her medicine. It is estimated that all the money in the family was spent.

Although Uncle Shen is a doctor, when the village sees him, the money for medicine and consultation fee is not much.

Apart from these, he has no other source of income.

In addition, some medicinal materials should be prepared just in case, and the money saved in the family is not a lot.

A part of it was saved by Uncle Shen, who was going to put it in the bottom of the box for Shen Zhu's dowry.

Shi Jiang is not a fool, from the food he eats every day, he can tell that the Shen family is probably unable to make ends meet.

Early the next morning, Uncle Shen and Shi Jiang carried their baskets on their backs and walked towards the mountain behind the village.

On the mountain behind the village, apart from experienced hunters, only Uncle Shen had the guts to enter.

After all, many villagers have seen ferocious beasts like wolves haunt this back mountain.

Ordinary people, not hunters, even if they encountered wild boars, it would be horrific.

Hearing Shi Jiang's question, Uncle Shen tore off the purse from his waist and handed it to her.

"The smell of medicine here, the beasts will hate it, so they don't get close, and they will turn around when they smell it from a distance. The nose of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans. In addition to the place where I dig the medicine, come here There are only a few places to go, and traps have been dug around."

Hearing Uncle Shen's words, Shi Jiang put the purse under his nose and sniffed it, vomit... almost vomited out the overnight meal.

No wonder those beasts will avoid it, who can bear this smell?
"Remember to hang your purse on your waist and don't run around."

Uncle Shen reminded her again and again, and then walked up the mountain with a dull head. Sure enough, when Shi Jiang took a closer look, the road that Uncle Shen led her was walked many times before.

After walking for almost three hours on the mountain road, Uncle Shen led Shi Jiang around a corner and arrived at the bottom of a waterfall.

There is not much water flowing down the waterfall, so the pool below is not big and not deep.

At a glance, the pool water is so clear that you can see to the end.

And beside the pool, there is a field that seems to have been man-made.

It grows lush and lush inside, which is exactly the medicinal material that Uncle Shen came up to pick this time.

"Grandpa, did you organize the medicinal materials and plant them yourself? But, why did you plant them in the mountains instead of the fields next to the village?"

After all, even ginseng can be grown in a greenhouse after so many years.

Make sure that each one is white and fat, and the thick ones are like white radishes.

Dr. Shen glanced at Shi Jiang, then pointed to the waterfall and said: "Did you see that, because of this waterfall, the water flowing down here forms a pool, and the water in the final pool is much colder than the mountain spring water. And The medicinal materials I grow here are all cold-loving. If they are moved to the fields in the village, there is no question of whether they can be fed. Therefore, many medicinal materials need to be planted according to local conditions, not blindly."

"Understood, Grandpa!"

Shi Jiang felt the temperature around him and nodded, expressing that he understood.

Uncle Shen saw that Shi Jiang was so eager to learn, so he didn't hide it privately, and gave him all he could to help.

It was already two days after the two of them came out of the mountain alone.

Uncle Shen and Shi Jiang's panniers were all filled with medicinal materials, but at this moment, both panniers were being carried by Uncle Shen's left and right hands.

At this moment, Shi Jiang was holding the front and back feet of the silly roe deer he had just captured alive from the trap with both hands, and then carried it on his neck, following Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen was also a little dizzy, how could such a big stupid roe deer be caught so easily?

Moreover, A-Jian looked so weak that he didn't expect to carry such a stupid roe deer that weighed more than a hundred catties, as if it was effortless.

Before reaching the bottom of the mountain, Shi Jiang paused, and then said to Uncle Shen who was walking ahead: "Grandpa, I will go to the town from the small path first, and sell this stupid roe deer for some money. At that time, I will buy some rice for the family. Before going up the mountain, I saw that the food at home seems to be almost used up."

Uncle Shen was stunned when he heard this, but Shi Jiang had already discovered that there was not enough food at home.

After thinking about it, he sighed secretly, and nodded in agreement.

"Go and come back quickly, be careful on the road, don't come back too late."

With A-Jiang's brute strength, Uncle Shen didn't worry about her being alone anymore, he just gave an order, and walked into the village with two baskets on his back.

But Shi Jiang was walking out of the village with the silly roe deer on his back.

There is a small road in the back mountain here, which can directly lead to the three-way intersection at the stone tablet outside the village.

Because of the absence of Uncle Shen, Shi Jiang's speed obviously accelerated a lot.

Soon he reached the three-way intersection, Shi Jiang looked at the direction, and then walked towards the town with big strides.

This rapid journey took almost half an hour before Shi Jiang arrived in the town.

At this time, the provincial examination in the county government has already begun to release the results.

Shi Jiang didn't care about other things at first, and went to the biggest restaurant in the town with the silly roe on his back.

After getting eight taels of silver in hand, as soon as he walked out of the back door of the restaurant, he just walked to the street when he heard someone shouting to announce the list!
