Chapter 469: Attracting Snake Powder
Not only wild vegetables have started to grow in the mountains, but medicinal herbs have also begun to grow.
The plan to dig up medicinal herbs for sale has been applied for by the brigade leader and approved by the commune. The commune has also agreed to let Old Man Wang teach everyone how to process the herbs.
Wen Li only made a suggestion; the village chief and the brigade leader made all the arrangements clearly.
Since it concerned the livelihood of the entire village, no one dared to be careless. Knowing that it could make money, everyone cooperated very well.
Wen Li selected several literate and meticulous girls to learn about medicinal herbs from her and teach them how to dig them. Once they had learned, they would then teach the villagers.
As for the methods of processing medicinal materials, the village chief selected some literate young people to learn from Old Man Wang.
After spring plowing, the digging for medicinal herbs began in full swing.
Wen Li was so busy every day that she barely had time to rest. In a month, the villagers earned more than 200 yuan by selling honeysuckle, dandelion, and Panax notoginseng, with Panax notoginseng being the most profitable.
As for some rare herbs, one has to go deep into the mountains.
Spring is the season when wild animals roam, so Wen Li didn't dare to bring so many people into the deep mountains rashly and finally decided to take it one step at a time.
After receiving the money, the village began to distribute it, with each household receiving six or seven yuan.
For rural people who rely on the weather for their livelihood, six or seven yuan a month is a lot of money, which adds up to sixty or seventy yuan a year. They can only save about twenty yuan a year at most, relying on work points.
In small households, people can only save four or five dollars a year.
They never dreamed they could make so much money from those inconspicuous herbs on the back mountain.
After the first distribution of money, the villagers, who were initially somewhat indifferent, became more enthusiastic than ever before.
After a busy early summer, Wenli was finally able to take a break.
The girls had already learned about common herbs. There weren't many kinds of herbs in the back mountain, so after discussing it with the captain, they decided to give up on going on an adventure deep in the mountains.
If something goes wrong, the commune will definitely not allow them to dig for medicinal herbs to make money again; they can't be too greedy.
The captain's consideration was thoughtful, and Wen Li had no objections; her goal was to improve everyone's lives.
It has already been achieved.
In the future, villagers will also be able to make money with this skill, and they can even learn to grow medicinal herbs themselves. But that's all for the future.
As the weather started to get warmer, Wen Li had been busy for the past three months, only asking Liu Pan'er and Er Laizi to keep an eye on Jiang Yue'er, and she hadn't paid any more attention to her.
Jiang Yue'er has been very well-behaved lately, taking good care of Jiang Chen.
Everything seemed normal, but Liu Pan'er always felt that Jiang Yue'er's gaze towards Jiang Chen was strange.
She couldn't understand what was strange, and Jiang Chen had many bruises on his body, making it look like he had been abused.
She did it very discreetly, and not many people noticed.
As time went by, Jiang Yue'er's belly grew bigger again.
Her five-month pregnancy belly is comparable to that of others who are eight or nine months pregnant.
Xie Chang'an would also help keep an eye on things in his spare time. "I've noticed that Jiang Yue'er's good luck has disappeared!"
"How did you find out?"
"She recently went to the back mountain to dig for medicinal herbs, but hasn't found any valuable ones!"
"Could it be because there are so many people?"
"No, I saw her sneak into the mountains alone twice, and she didn't find anything!"
In the past, Jiang Yue'er would always find something when she went into the mountains. Even if it wasn't ginseng or lingzhi, she could at least find pheasants or rabbits.
But in the last few months, she found a wild pheasant.
"Could it be that no one saw it?"
"She's heavily pregnant, so it's not easy for her to go up the mountain. Besides, every time she goes up, I have Xue'er and the others secretly keep an eye on her!"
Wen Li's face lit up with joy. She hadn't expected that Jiang Chen's accident would have such a big impact on Jiang Yue'er's protagonist aura.
Judging from Jiang Yue'er's current luck, she's probably only slightly better than the average person.
But Wen Li dared not relax at all. After all, she was the female lead. If she did something unexpected again, it would be easier for her than for an ordinary person.
After all, even God is on her side!
"Don't let Xue'er and the others take risks; Jiang Yue'er is not easy to deal with!"
"I understand, don't worry!"
Recently, the people in the cowshed have also started working, and the village has also distributed money to them, so Xie Chang'an can finally openly buy some meat and eggs to eat.
They were worried that the villagers would discover their secret, so even though they had money, they didn't dare to eat much, and as a result, they were all very thin and had a sallow complexion.
Now they can eat openly and honestly, and their complexion has improved a lot, and they are not so thin anymore.
With the herb gathering business on track, Wenli could finally relax and be a hands-off manager.
That day, she noticed that she didn't have much honey left in her space, so she decided to go to the deep mountains to get some more.
She went alone this time, so she can bring more to put in the space.
As she entered the deep mountains, Wen Li felt a pair of eyes watching her from behind.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile; Jiang Yue'er had finally found her chance!
Since that's the case, she should be given this opportunity. Wen Li wanted to deal with Jiang Yue'er, but now that she's pregnant, it's a bit tricky!
Forget it, let's take a step by step!
The honey-collecting area was right in front of her. Wen Li took out a hat and a long-sleeved coat from her basket and wrapped herself up tightly before going up the mountain.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, seeing that the person behind her hadn't followed, Wen Li decided to collect honey first.
With enough space, she collected several buckets full this time, enough for her to use for several years.
After putting a few more in her basket as a mere formality, she prepared to leave.
Wen Li had no idea what surprise Jiang Yue'er had prepared for her, so she remained vigilant throughout the journey.
When she reached a rocky area, Wen Li took a few steps and noticed a faint medicinal smell in the air, realizing something was wrong. She pretended to bend down to tie her shoelaces.
I picked up the powder on the ground and smelled it. Hmm, snake-attracting powder!
Jiang Yue'er is really generous; the medicinal materials for making snake-attracting powder are not cheap, let alone so many.
This area was almost completely covered with it; Jiang Yue'er really went all out this time!
Just as she was about to stand up, Wen Li felt her vision go black and her head spin. Something was wrong!
She clenched her fists tightly to keep herself from fainting.
It's a sleeping drug!
The sleeping potion was masked by the snake-attracting powder, which is why she didn't notice it. She quickly drank a large mouthful of spiritual spring water, and her drowsiness gradually subsided.
Before she could leave, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surroundings.
It felt like countless snakes and insects were crawling towards her.
Looking over, Wen Li got goosebumps. There were more than twenty brightly colored snakes swimming towards her.
Only two or three of them were venomous snakes; the rest were ordinary, non-venomous snakes.
Wen Li cursed inwardly; this scene was absolutely disgusting!
She quickly scurried away, her cloth shoes getting covered in more medicinal powder, and then ran swiftly towards where Jiang Yue'er was hiding.
Jiang Yue'er probably wanted to see her die from a snake bite, so she stayed hidden in the shadows.
Seeing Wen Li running towards her, she didn't bother to hide. She whispered a few words to Jiang Chen and then ran off first.
It's amazing that she ran so fast despite having such a big belly.
Jiang Chen stood in the middle of the road with a silly grin, blocking Wen Li's way. "You're not allowed to chase Yue'er!"
