Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 114 Badger Seed Oil

"Er Niu, we are almost at the village. You should go back by yourself first! I will go to Chenjiazhai."

Then Lu Jiansheng said to Lu Erniu on the donkey cart.

It has been two days since my eldest sister was scalded by boiling water.
  He actually doesn't know!
  Although it was not a fatal injury, it was quite serious according to what Chen Genniu said. As his younger brother, he didn't care about going home first. He had to take a look first to feel at ease.

"Okay, brother Jiansheng, go ahead and I'll just go home by myself."

Lu Erniu nodded and got off the donkey cart.

"I know I feel sorry for your sister, Lu Mei really has a good brother!"

Chen Genniu praised from the side.

Lu Jiansheng was not in the mood to talk. He looked at Chen Genniu and said, "Uncle Genniu, I'm just on my way. I'll take you back to Chenjiazhai."

"That would be troublesome."

"If you are virtuous, I won't go in. Your aunt is still waiting at home."

While thinking of badger seed oil, he also thought of a way to not only enhance the effect of badger seed oil in treating burns, but also relieve pain and itching.

I saw that her hands and thighs were severely burned when the water reached her chest, abdomen and thighs. They were not only red and swollen, but also had small blisters on them.

Chen Genniu had no reason to refuse if he could hitch a ride on a donkey cart and avoid having to travel such a long distance, not to mention that he was the third uncle of Lu Jiansheng's brother-in-law.

After a while, Chen Youde hurriedly walked out of the room.

Chen Genniu replied.

Lu Jiansheng asked with concern.

Chen Youde didn't hold back either, and then called Lu Jiansheng into the house.

"Third uncle, Jiansheng, please come in quickly!"

"Ah."

"Jiansheng is here."

Before the donkey cart reached the door, Chen Genniu shouted from inside the house.

"I went to see your sister. I met Jian Sheng on the way back, so I followed her back."

~

It was already dark.

When he got home, he tied the donkey to the pillar of the donkey shed.

Chen Genniu said.

Subsequently.

"Sister, you just lie down, why are you so injured?"

"Uncle, my mother was burned and can't get out of bed now."

Bai Ruoxi waited until Lu Jiansheng came back before she started cooking.

After a while, we arrived at Chenjiazhai.

"You are virtuous, Lu Mei's brother is here."

Chen Lingling and Chen Xiaofei almost cried.

Looking at the redness and swelling of the wound, as well as the blisters, it doesn't take a few days to heal, especially now that medical and health care is backward. If it becomes inflamed, the consequences will be more serious.

On the bed, Lu Jiansheng saw the injured Lu Mei.

Lu Jiansheng nodded and came to Lu Mei's room.

Lu Jiansheng said distressedly.

Suddenly, Lu Jiansheng thought of a folk method in his mind, that is, a jar of oil. He had traveled through difficult times in his previous life and knew many useful folk methods.
  For example, badger seed oil can not only cure burns, but also has many effects. It is a good thing and can cure insufficient Qi, uterine prolapse, hemoptysis, hemorrhoids, scabies, scabies, white baldness, burns, and chilblains.

"Hey! It's really hard on your sister. Although it's nothing serious, the wound hurts and itches. I couldn't sleep at night. I also went to see the doctor in the village, but the burn will not heal in a short time."

Looking at the always strong Lu Mei, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, showing that such a severe burn was really painful.

"Brother-in-law, I heard from Uncle Genniu that my sister was burned. How is she doing now?"

Of course, it’s also delicious when eaten stir-fried.

And being burned by boiling water is different from being sick. Even if you send him to the county hospital, the most he can do is help reduce the inflammation of the wound. There is no good way to relieve the itching and pain. On the contrary, he is prone to infection on the way there. This makes Lu Jiansheng give up sending Lu Mei. The decision to go to the county seat.

Seeing that Lu Mei was still trying to raise her body, Lu Jiansheng quickly stopped her.

"Is there any way to treat burns, reduce inflammation, relieve itching and relieve pain?"

Chen Youde sighed.

Lu Mei endured the pain and said with a smile, "Sister, it's okay. She'll be fine in a few days."

"Third uncle, why are you here with Jiansheng?"

After chatting with his brother-in-law and eldest sister for a while, Lu Jiansheng said goodbye and left.

Lu Jiansheng hurriedly drove the donkey cart. He was a little impatient. He whipped the donkey from time to time with the whip in his hand, making the donkey cart go faster.

What I ate was the leftover noodles from lunch. Rural people don’t pay attention to eating just one meal. Besides, there was a lot of pork in it. I only had one meal at noon. There was no way I would get tired of it so quickly. As for giving it to the dog It would be a waste wherever you eat.

Bai Ruoxi started to heat the noodles. Just looking at Lu Jiansheng's appearance was a little worrying.

As a result, the noodles were a bit mushy the second time they were hot. She simply served each person a bowl of batter and poured a large spoonful of meat on top.

"Jiansheng?"

She placed the dishes and chopsticks and called him Lu Jiansheng over her shoulder.

Tangtang Xixi is already on the table.

However, Lu Jiansheng was still sitting on the threshold and did not respond.

Bai Ruoxi paused.

She looked sideways, but was slightly startled.

Lu Jiansheng sat on the wooden threshold in front of the house.

Beside him was the dim light falling from the room.

A faint orange color fell on the side of his face.

He lowered his head.

Can't see his expression clearly.

Bai Ruoxi could only see the thin side lines of Lu Jiansheng's face, all the way down the chin and winding to the undulating Adam's apple.

During this time, he had made the two little guys fatter, and Lu Jiansheng had also gained a lot of strength, especially when the clothes stuck to his body, revealing a thin layer of muscle lines.

He is very happy just to go home on weekdays,

But today...

Bai Ruoxi was keenly aware that something was wrong with him.

"What happened to Jiansheng?"

Tangtang took a mouthful of noodle batter with a small spoon and put it into her mouth. She looked back at the man who lowered his head and said nothing. Her little brows also wrinkled.

Her eyes are big, round and sparkling.

"Dad is not happy,"

"Yeah, dad, I didn't even hug Xixi and sister when I came back today."

Xixi pointed at Lu Jiansheng, her little face wrinkled up, very worried.

Although the two little guys are still a little unclear in their speech.

But listening to the two little guys making milky sounds, Lu Jiansheng at the side finally calmed down and said,
  He couldn't help but smile,

Of course he wasn't happy that his eldest sister was injured, but he didn't mean to ignore the two little breast dumplings.

He was just thinking about how to hit the badger. After all, Lu Jiansheng was really not good at this thing, and in the vast mountains, it was really not easy to hit the badger without some experience. Of course, if you were lucky, that would be another matter. . "It's nothing. I'm thinking about how to beat the badger. Sister, she was scalded by boiling water."

Lu Jiansheng touched the heads of the two little guys and then forced a smile.

"Sister was burned by boiling water, is it serious?"

When Bai Ruoxi heard this, she immediately asked with concern.

"Well, it's quite serious."

Lu Jiansheng nodded.

"Jian Shen, let's go see eldest sister tomorrow."

Bai Ruoxi's heart was suddenly lifted.

"Tangtang Xixi also wants to visit my aunt."

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."

……

The next day, Lu Jiansheng's family of four got up early, fed the dogs and made breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Jiansheng took Bai Ruoxi and two milk dumplings to Chenjiazhai.

Came to my brother-in-law's house.

Lu Jiansheng took a look at Lu Mei's wounds, but they seemed to be more serious than yesterday.

"Auntie, are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Looking at the wound, the two little guys frowned, and then expressed concern in a caring voice.

"Auntie is fine,"

Lu Mei saw the two small breast dumplings and forced a smile.

Bai Ruoxi and her four children accompanied Lu Mei.

Lu Jiansheng and Chen Youde were smoking and chatting in the main room. Lu Jiansheng didn't usually smoke much, but Chen Youde smoked, so he naturally started smoking along with him when he was in a bad mood.

After a while, considering that he had to go up the mountain to hunt badgers, Lu Jiansheng didn't stay long in Chenjiazhai and went back.

As soon as I returned to Liuligouzi Village,
  Lu Jiansheng immediately came to Lu Erniu's house. He stood at the door and shouted, "Is Erniu at home?"

"Jian Sheng is here. Come sit down in the room."

Ma Guifang opened the door and came out.

"Auntie, I have something to do with Erniu." Lu Jiansheng greeted with a smile.

"Jiansheng, Erniu went out with his father. He will be back in a while. You can sit in the room for a while."

"No, just tell him to come back and find me at home." After Lu Jiansheng said that, he turned and left Erniu's home.

back home.

Lu Jiansheng waited for a while, but unexpectedly not only Lu Erniu but also Liu Shengli came.

"Shengli, are your injuries healed?"

Lu Jiansheng asked.

"Brother Jiansheng, you're fine! There's nothing wrong at all."

Liu Shengli patted his chest.

"Brother Jiansheng, are you going into the mountains?"

"Brother Jiansheng, when should we go to Wild Boar Ridge? I've been lying here for more than ten days, and I've long wanted to kill a wild boar."

As soon as the two entered the door, they asked after a while.

"This time, I won't go to Wild Boar Ridge. My sister was scalded by boiling water and was quite serious, so I plan to go into the mountains to hunt some badgers in the afternoon. If you two are free, you can go into the mountains with me in the afternoon."

Without any more polite words, Lu Jiansheng directly stated his purpose.

"Sister Lu Mei, she was burned. The injury is not serious."

Liu Shengli asked concernedly.

"Yeah! It's quite serious."

Lu Jiansheng nodded.

"Brother Jiansheng, I'll go with you!"

"Brother Jiansheng, I will go into the mountains with you too!"

"Brother Jiansheng, do you know where the jar is?"

Liu Shengli hesitated and said.

"I don't know. Let's go up the mountain and take a look. Let's set off after lunch."

"Is Jiansheng at home?"

Lu Jiansheng was talking when a voice suddenly came from the door.

Lu Jiansheng looked up and saw that it was Li Laosan, carrying a wild rabbit over.

Li Laosan had recovered a few days ago, so Li Laosan took Aunt Xiuhua to Lu Jiansheng's house as soon as possible. He had been here once in the past few days, but he didn't expect to come here today.

"Uncle Third, why are you here? Where is Zhuzi?"

Lu Jiansheng said hello with a smile.

"I have nothing to do at home. Come and visit the door. The pillars have gone up the mountain." Li Laosan said with a smile.

"Brother Jiansheng, third uncle, I'll go home for dinner first."

"Brother Jiansheng, we'll be here in a minute!"

"Why are you going back? Let's eat together at my place. The third uncle is not an outsider." Lu Jiansheng said.

When Li Laosan came last time, the two of them were also at his home, so they knew each other.

"This……"

"Okay, you two, stop whining! What more food can I give you?" Lu Jiansheng said with a smile.

"Jiansheng, have you eaten so early?"

Li Laosan said doubtfully.

Lu Jiansheng mentioned that he was going to beat the badger by the way. After all, he could no longer care about Li Laosan after dinner. Although Li Laosan was healed from his injury, he probably couldn't do strenuous exercise.

"Jiansheng! It's not easy for you to try your luck and hit badgers in the mountains. Fortunately, you met me today. It's not easy to hit badgers, but it's much easier to dig out badger holes. Anyway, just look for me. Well, there is no one in Paoshantun who is better than me!"

Li Laosan grinned.

There are different ways to catch badgers, either by playing a pair to catch them, or by directly digging a hole and trying your luck to catch them, which is not very realistic.

Pairs, also called Diaobi, scientifically called Jiamu, are specially used to hunt badgers and wolves, and are also good luck.

Digging a hole is simple and straightforward. Just find the badger hole and dig along the hole with a shovel.

Therefore, except that digging a hole is a little more difficult, the rest is very easy.

"Uncle, it's not that easy to dig out a badger's hole, right? We don't know where it is!"

Liu Shengli hesitated and said.

"It's not easy for others, but for me, Uncle Li, digging out badger holes is just a matter of pinching them with your hands. When did I not dig out more than ten or twenty badgers?" Li Laosan was very proud. said.

In the front, Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu knew that he was injured by a wild leopard, and the leopard was killed by Lu Jiansheng.
  As an old hunter, Li Laosan felt embarrassed when he thought about it in front of the two hunters who went up to the mountain to learn how to hunt. Now, it was finally his turn to do what he was good at, and just picking out badgers would have no effect on his wounds.

Li Laosan thought about it in an instant. He wanted to show off and let Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu get to know each other. He, Li Laosan, was not a jobber.

"Uncle Third Uncle, the key is, how do we find it!"

"I took a good look before I was injured. There were several badger nests on the North Fork of our village. I was waiting to take the time to go into the mountains and dig them out. I didn't expect to be injured by a wild leopard and lay there for so long. , if it hadn’t been for Jian Shengti, I would have forgotten about it.”
