Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 152 Chapter 149 The Man in the Grass

Shen Jiao was overjoyed when she saw so many strong mugworts. Although the weeds like mugwort leaves were not as impressive as the dog's tail grass, they were really wonderful herbs.

Detoxification, insect repelling, evil, eating, etc., have many effects, just like fairy grass, much more useful than those colorful and beautiful flowers. Her Shen family has always used AI to keep in good health.

Eat mugwort in spring, smoke mugwort in summer, or use mugwort leaves to make soup for bathing. The sachets hung on the children are filled with dried mugwort leaves. Whenever the grandfather in his previous life felt unwell, he would ask the doctor at home to give them The old man burnt moxa, ordered a few sticks of moxa, he was in good spirits after the burn, the food was delicious, and all diseases were gone.

"The sun is pretty good these days, and the mugwort leaves can be dried in just two or three days. Sister Xinghua, let's cut more." Shen Jiao bent down and began to cut.

Ma Xinghua was not to be outdone, she moved extremely fast, and cut a large piece with just a few strokes, filling the basket to the brim.

"Let's pile it up here first, and carry it back to dry later." Ma Xinghua suggested.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to make mugwort when it's done drying, but it's a pity that the tender mugwort leaves won't last for a few days, these mugwort leaves are too old to make mugwort cakes." Shen Jiao felt a little regretful.

In the early spring, she picked a lot of fresh mugwort leaves and mixed them with rice noodles to make moxa cakes. Although the ingredients were limited, Shen Jiaxing and the others said it was delicious. The fragrance of mugwort leaves made simple rice noodles delicious.

Ma Xinghua smiled and said, "Are those green pancakes you gave me last time? They are really delicious, fragrant and glutinous, but rice noodles are delicious even if they are served with dogtail grass!"

Shen Jiao choked back angrily: "Then you will cut a bunch of dogtail grass later, and I will give you another pot of rice noodles, you can go back and make dumplings to eat!"

"Whee!"

Ma Xinghua giggled a few times, and continued to cut the mugwort leaves, when a wasp buzzed over, Ma Xinghua hurriedly picked up a mugwort leaf to drive the wasp away, yelling 'go, go, go'.

The wasp probably didn't like the smell of mugwort leaves, so it quickly flew back buzzing and burrowed into a tree. Shen Jiao took a closer look, and there was a big beehive in that tree.

"Sister Xinghua, there's a big beehive!" Shen Jiao tugged Ma Xinghua to look.

Ma Xinghua's saliva flowed down: "Oh, it's really big. I'm afraid there will be two catties of honey. It would be great if we can get it down. We can also eat bee pupae. It's so delicious."

Although Shen Jiao was also greedy, she was even more afraid of being stung by bees, so she hurriedly said: "This is a hornet's nest, you should be safe, and be careful not to be stung by a hornet."

"I know, just by saying it, I don't dare to mess with hornets."

Even though she said that, the longing in Ma Xinghua's eyes was clearly revealed, and she smacked her mouth a few times, Shen Jiao could even hear the gurgling sound in her throat, she couldn't help laughing.

But she also sympathized with Ma Xinghua very much. After all, it was all caused by famine. If they could eat meat every day and have a full meal, how could Ma Xinghua and the children outside be so eager for these wild foods!

Just like herself, if she hadn't experienced the pain of hunger, she would still be the eldest lady of the Shen family who never tires of eating and eating!

How could she eat these simple meals!

It was almost evening at this time, and the setting sun was gradually setting down. Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also cut a lot of wormwood, and piled it up on the ground to form a hill.

"Sister Xinghua, let's cut it here today, let's get back these mugwort leaves first." Shen Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood at the bottom of the slope.

The two of them mowed a large piece of wormwood on this slope, and it was emptied in no time, and Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also approached the grass below without knowing it.

Those sinister eyes looked up without blinking, secretly happy in my heart, it really didn't take much effort!
He met all the two beautiful girls, and even placed an order. Isn't God helping his grandson!

It turned out that the man hiding in the grass was actually Sun Maodan, who was sleeping in the grass, when he was woken up by the voices of Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, evil thoughts suddenly arose in his heart.

When Sun Maodan was about to get out of the grass, there were several sheep bleating from above, which made him shrink back in a hurry.

The one who came over was Shi Guangshan who herded the sheep. When he saw Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, he smiled and said, "Why don't you two girls go back? It's almost dark."

"I'll be back soon, Grandpa Shi, please slow down!"

In front of Ma Xinghua, Shen Jiao did not hide her acquaintance with Shi Guangshan, there was no need to hide it, the whole Ma family was on the same path as her!
"I'll wait for you to go together!" Shi Guangshan was still a little worried, after all, they were two beautiful girls.

Ma Xinghua picked up a basket of mugwort leaves and was about to leave when she suddenly patted her forehead and said angrily, "Oh, why did I forget the firewood, Mr. Shi, Jiaojiao, you go back first, and I'll pick up the firewood."

Shi Guangshan was worried, but Ma Xinghua said indifferently: "What's there to worry about? I can go back to the back mountain with my eyes closed. I used to come here at night, so you can go back without worry. I'll be fine in a while."

Ma Xinghua persisted, but Shi Guangshan didn't insist anymore, mainly because he felt that there would be no accidents, there were no beasts in the back mountain, at most they were long worms, Ma Xinghua, as a girl in the mountain, was not afraid of long worms.

The other one is that he has to drive the sheep back to the shed quickly, or if the sheep get lost before it gets dark, he will be charged with another crime of destroying collective property!
"Then Jiaojiao and I will leave first, hurry up too!"

"Don't worry, sir, I'm bold!" Ma Xinghua didn't care, and picked up the firewood without stopping.

Shen Jiao didn't care too much, anyway, she would come again later, it wouldn't take much time.

Shi Guangshan and Shen Jiao gradually drifted away, and soon the bleating of sheep could not be heard, and Sun Maodan spat regretfully, "Damn, the little one let her escape, such a fresh and beautiful little girl tastes delicious Extremely.

Forget it, the girl from Ma's family is also good, it's the best time to eat, so he has to eat well!
Who let Ma Chang'an report him this shit? Ma Chang'an, if you are the first grader, I will be the [-]th grader, ruining your daughter. Let's see how you, Ma Chang'an, have the face to go out!

Shen Jiao and Shi Guangshan separated at the slope, so as not to be seen, the children on the hillside also returned home, quietly, Shi Guangshan walked quickly, waving his whip continuously, and soon went to the barn.

The people on the farm haven’t finished work yet. The farm has been very busy recently, and everyone’s work has been delayed, and they can’t go home until it’s dark.

Shen Jiao threw the wormwood in the basket on the ground, and then drove up the mountain with the empty basket on her back. Ma Xinghua had to carry both firewood and wormwood, and she would definitely not be able to carry it all by herself.

At this time, the semicircular moon has already hung in the sky, faintly, corresponding to the fiery red sunset on the mountain side.

"Sister Xinghua, where have you been?"

Shen Jiao rushed to the slope but did not find Ma Xinghua, the ground was in a mess, the firewood was scattered all over the place, and the neatly stacked wormwood was also messed up.

Her heart sank, she pulled out her dagger without thinking, and looked around vigilantly.

　Here is the Lantern Festival plus more, I wish all dear readers a happy Lantern Festival, happy every day, reunion, and all wishes come true!
