The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 2

[Chapter 2 The Weird Red Lotus]

Unable to resist the fiery hunger in his belly, Gu Ye took a few mouthfuls of fish soup with his cheap brother’s hand and couldn’t drink it any more. Tortured by long-term starvation, her stomach has shrunk, and the functions of her internal organs have also deteriorated severely. She is so weak that she can hardly even breathe. What is “burned out”? Just look at this body to see clearly.

“Take another sip, you’ve eaten too little.” Gu Ming looked at his sister worriedly. Because the nutrition could not keep up, my sister was sick every three days. The stepmother was afraid of spending money and was unwilling to hire a doctor for her sister. At the risk of being eaten by wild animals, he went into the mountains to hunt, with little success.

When I was lucky, I caught pheasants and hares and sent them to the only doctor in the village, Wu, asking him to help my sister heal. Doctor Wu said that my sister’s illness was caused by hunger and tiredness. As long as you’re full, you’ll be fine.

Whenever he was free, he helped his sister with her work, and tried his best to let her eat more. But my sister’s body is still gradually weakening. In recent days, almost grains of rice are hard to get in, and I vomit whatever I eat. Dr. Wu said that there was no need for treatment for his sister, and he just waited for that moment to come.

However, he couldn’t bear to give up, and he didn’t want to give up. When Niang was dying, she took his hand and asked him to take good care of her sister, but he was useless…

Seeing that her sister had taken a few sips of fish soup and didn’t mean to vomit, Gu Ming’s heart raised a little bit of hope. He drank the rest of the fish soup in one go, and he couldn’t be cheap for Liu’s two cubs! He covered the broken quilt on his sister’s body and said softly, “Sister, go to sleep, my brother will catch fish and make soup for you every day in the future.”

Gu Ye nodded obediently. When Gu Ming went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, she couldn’t bear it any longer, and all the fish soup she drank spit out. This body can no longer hold any food.

She finally got the chance to be reborn. She didn’t want to die as soon as she passed through and become the shortest-lived traveler. That’s a big joke.

space! She is someone with space! Thinking of the bottle of animal repellent powder on the mountain, Gu Ye’s eyes sparkled with hope of birth.

A bottle of body-warming potion appeared in his hand. After exhausting the last bit of strength, Gu Ye finally put the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it hard. Just before she fell into a drowsiness, she clearly felt a thin warm current flowing quietly in the muscles and organs of this weak body…

With Liu’s temperament that he eats everything, he does not suffer. , The days of the brothers and sisters are even more chaotic. Gu Ye was so weak that he couldn’t get out of bed, and all the housework fell on Liu Shi.

When the woman remembered it, she headed towards Westinghouse, knocking on the table and bowl again, and the bitter cursing was in her ears. Gu Ye plugged her ears with invisible earplugs, and no matter how shrew she scolded the street, it would not affect her in the slightest.

When Liu was cooking, he repeated his old tricks. One person could only get one piece of the slap-sized coarse grain cake, and Gu Qiao, the head of the family, could only eat two pieces. In the morning, there was still no Gu Ye’s share, and Gu Ming’s share was the smallest of them all.

Anyway, his face has been torn apart, and Gu Ming has absolutely no more scruples for his sister. During dinner, after my father took a piece, he quickly grabbed two cakes from the basket and brought his own bowl of porridge to his sister’s house to eat with her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu jumped up immediately, and shouted sharply with her arms on her waist, “Put down! That piece of cake belongs to your father. You are an unfilial thing, and you will even grab your father’s rations.”

Gu Ming stopped and stared at him. He stared at her and said, “Isn’t this cake from my sister? It’s you who deducted Dad’s rations. What does it have to do with me? My sister can’t go hungry now.” , he entered the house on his own.

While scolding Liu, he stretched out his hand to pull him. At this time, Gu Qiao stopped Liu’s endless scolding: “You don’t think it’s not enough to be ashamed. If the ninth brother next door hears it, it will be spread to the village and will be sent to the village. It’s time to say we abused the child. How much can she eat as a little girl? In the future, I need to add a spoonful of water and a handful of food, as long as people don’t starve to death. ”

Gu Qiao was also angry. Because of this mess in the family, he was dragged by the patriarch’s uncle and several clan elders to lecture him, and his face was thrown at his grandmother’s house. Gu Ming is a worry-free thing, he just needs to find people secretly, and all the troubled Qingshan Village knows about it, so that when he goes out now, he feels that everyone is looking at him with strange eyes, and the people in the village don’t know how to pay attention to them. home.

Liu Shi gasped and sat down, grabbed the pancake in Da Zhuang’s hand, broke off a piece, and put it in front of his man along with the piece of pancake from his own. Although she didn’t want to see the two cubs in the front room, she was not stupid, and she was heart-to-heart with her man. The man is his own, and the family has more than ten acres of mountains, but they all count on him as a labor force.

“Who am I doing this for? You are not at home, and I don’t know that firewood and rice are expensive. In the mountains of our village, after paying the rent, there is not much left. Where can I eat? After working so

hard to sell some money, I have exchanged it for food, but I still stick to it. The big and the young are growing up and eating more and more. How can I live without careful planning? I have eaten all the rations in my stomach, but I have been wronged! Look at me, I work day and night every day, what do I eat? I have been married to your family for almost four years, and I am not willing to wear a new dress Tim! She’s a child who doesn’t do heavy work, so what’s the point of eating less?” Liu Shi lifted up his clothes and wiped his eyes.

Gu Qiao ate the porridge and the pancake in one bite, and comforted Mrs Liu casually: “Well, you are right, I have suffered for you all these years… But our family is really not bad. After collecting the autumn food, I will Follow me up the mountain to pick up the mountain goods and sell more money to sell food… That’s it, don’t smear my face again, did you hear?”

Gu Qiao said it plainly, selfish and good face. Liu Shi knew that if she made another noise at this time, she would definitely have no good results. Gu Qiao looked at Wen Tun on weekdays and got angry. She was frightened in her heart, so she could only grit her teeth and pinch her nose. Those two stinky bastards will have a chance to clean them up in the future!

Xiao Zhuang really didn’t want to eat dry cakes. Seeing that his mother was in a bad mood, he was busy selling the coarse grain cake that had bitten a few teeth marks into his mother’s mouth. He rolled his eyes and said in a milky voice: ” Mother, eat.”

“It’s my son who knows that he hurts me. It’s not the flesh that fell from his body. Sooner or later, he will become a white-eyed wolf!” Liu raised his voice, shouted again in the direction of Westinghouse, and then lovingly touched his younger son’s flesh. The little face, Ba Hao kissed, and whispered, “Mother didn’t hurt you in vain. Later, my mother will make you a nugget soup to eat.”

Xiao Zhuang also lowered his voice and whispered to bargain: “Add egg…”

” You little greedy cat! Okay, I’ll add another egg to you.” Mrs Liu squeezed her son’s little face, drank the mush from her bowl, and went into the kitchen again. Behind her, Da Zhuang winked at Xiao Zhuang. . The small strong man has a small belly, and the rest of the soup will eventually fall into the big strong belly. However, there are not many times for Xiao Zhuang to open a small stove at home, and he can only occasionally beat his teeth. Hey, there is no way, they are all poor.

These disturbances outside did not affect the two brothers and sisters in the house at all. Gu Ming knew that her sister had a weak stomach and couldn’t eat hard pancakes. It was broken into the size of a fingernail, soaked in a gooey, and fed to my sister.

Gu Ye looked at the dark and messy food. Although she was very hungry, she couldn’t whet her appetite at all. Under the expectant gaze of her brother, she reluctantly took a bite. vomit! Compared with the nutrient solution that was distributed when the mission was given in the previous life, it was not much less delicious, and it was equally unpalatable. She ate a few mouthfuls, but she couldn’t take it anymore.

The original owner’s spleen and stomach were still a little delicate after a night of warm nourishment, but a small amount of food could still be tolerated. Gu Ming fed his sister some warm water again: “I will go up the mountain to chop firewood and see if I can catch more fish. The doctor said that the fish soup will nourish the body.”

Having said this, he sighed deeply and continued. Said: “The doctor also said that chicken soup is the most nourishing, but unfortunately my brother is incompetent and can’t be like Zhang Lihu in the village. He can hunt prey every day.”

“Brother, you are already very powerful. If it weren’t for you, I would have been chewed by wild animals on the mountain. There are no bones left.” For an 11-year-old, Gu Ming has done well.

But remembering that when he woke up and saw Lan Yingying’s eyes in the wolf pack, Gu Ye couldn’t help but dissuade him, “Brother, there are many wolves on the mountain, you don’t want to go into the mountain alone in the future. I only have you a good brother who loves me. , I don’t want you to be in trouble.”

“Okay, I’ll be around our village in the future, so I won’t worry about you. I’m going to chop wood. If you don’t want to sleep, I’ll ask Sister Li from Ninth Aunt’s house next door to talk to you.” Gu Ming was afraid When he was away, the honest sister was bullied by Liu’s mother and son.

In the memory of the original owner, Sister Li was one year older than the brothers and sisters, and she was gentle and caring. The original owner had a special sense of dependence on Sister Li, but Gu Ye wanted to enter the space to have a look, so he rejected his brother’s proposal on the grounds that he was in a bad mood and wanted to rest.

Gu Ming left uneasy. The cheap father and the stepmother went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and the half-eldest son, Da Zhuang, was also pulled into a strong man. Liu Shi was worried that Xiao Zhuang was at home alone, and he carried the person up the mountain with a backpack.

The yard was quiet, and Gu Ye’s thoughts turned into the space. The space was still the same space. The ten acres of fertile black soil were filled with medicinal seeds that she had collected for many years in her previous life. Hundreds of medicinal herbs were growing well, many of them. Treasures.

Dozens or hundreds of years of medicinal materials are extremely common in space. It is not uncommon for ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum to be aged for hundreds or even hundreds of years. The growth cycle of medicinal materials in space is shorter than outside. She experimented with new medicines and never lacked raw materials.

After inspecting the medicine field, Gu Ye came to her pharmacy laboratory in a good mood, a simple and elegant wooden structure. The boxes filled with various potions gave Gu Ye an incomparable sense of security. Like stroking her own child, she gently slipped her fingers over bottles of potions of different colors and fell into memory.

After leaving the laboratory, she glanced at the “garbage” piled up in a clearing. Those were all the materials she collected at the beginning of the troubled times in her previous life, and I don’t know if any of them could be used. She was free to tidy up.

Suddenly, she smelled a faint lotus fragrance in her nose. Following the scent, she came to the small pond in the center of the space, and was surprised to find that there was a half-open red lotus inside. No leaves and no roots, like an independent fairy, standing proudly in the clear blue pond, red as flames. On a lotus petal, a crystal-like dewdrop shone with dazzling light.

“Huh? When will the lotus flowers be planted here? But that’s okay, at least there will be lotus seeds and lotus roots to eat in the future.” Gu Ye said to himself.

In her coveted eyes, the red lotus petals trembled slightly, as if scared and disdainful. Gu Ye rubbed her eyes, she actually felt the emotions of people from a red lotus, her eyes were dazzled!

In the future, I will study the origin of this lotus flower. Let’s go out first, lest my brother come back halfway and find that she is not there, so it is time to worry again.
