Chapter 275 Dead Child
After watching the children play for a while, Xu Wenyan put on his backpack and went out.
Chen Sanlin has to dig up more of the radish he found yesterday, and transplant some more. Not to mention an acre of land, he has to plant half an acre.
Moreover, the rice fields have been irrigated. Chen Sanlin should be busy with this. The rice planted now is mid-late rice. Xu Wenyan doesn't care as there is no shortage of food at home.
But so many fields are just left there.
I saw a lot of people selling ducklings on the street today. I will ask them when I go to the county tomorrow.
Because of that shameless Chen Sanlin, he didn’t dig up the honeysuckle tree today.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the small hill that Chen Sanlin mentioned. Usually, the cattle are put here after taking a break after farming. Now the big water buffalo in the family is eating grass by the roadside.
It seemed to recognize Xu Wenyan and mooed.
Xu Wenyan touched the buffalo's head. It had indeed worked hard these days.
Just then he looked up and saw clumps of radish on the hillside. Xu Wenyan didn't want those that were in bloom, and would wait until autumn when they turned into seeds to pick some back.
Going up the small slope, there are not only a lot of radishes but also a lot of chives. However, they are a little old now and are edible but not tasty.
Garlic only grows on the slopes. There is no garlic further up into the woods. Soon the basket was full. Just as I was about to go back, I looked up.
I saw small green melons growing on the vines.
Xu Wenyan recognized it immediately; it was the wax gourd.
Its stems and branches have obvious lines, and the vines are covered with tiny compound leaves. The melons are still green and about the same size as bananas.
It will be ready to eat in two months. Looking along the vines of the wax gourd, there are a lot of them growing in this forest. Xu Wenyan can see more than a dozen of them just now.
The stems and vines of the wax gourd can be used as medicine, and their taste is bitter and flat.
It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians, promoting qi and relieving pain.
The wax gourd is easy to grow, and it can survive whether it is layered or propagated, but Xu Wenyan is not interested in it. The wax gourd has many seeds, and one bite is full of seeds, instantly turning it into a pea shooter.
At most it's just for the taste.
After going downhill, I fed the buffalo a handful of deer ear leeks, then led it back.
He shouted at Chen Sanlin in the distance, signaling that he should lead the cow back. As soon as he went down to the field, he saw Xiaohu below seemed to be talking to someone.
Xiaohu here had tears in his eyes, his hand was held by Yuyin. Yuyin scooped out a little paste from the jar in her hand and applied it on Xiaohu's hand.
Xu Wenyan walked over with the cow: "What's the matter, Huzi, Yuyin, you are here too."
The healthy wheat-colored girl greeted Xu Wenyan enthusiastically when she saw him: "Brother Xu!"
"Wow, Brother Xu, I was bitten by a centipede when I was grabbing grass on the ground just now." Xiaohu showed his hand to Xu Wenyan.
"Don't worry, I've already dealt with it. There are a lot of snakes and centipedes on our mountain, and this secret medicine of our tribe is very effective." Yuyin chuckled.
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Thank you for saving Hu Zi." Xu Wenyan knew a little about how to deal with it. After being bitten by a centipede, one must first rinse it carefully and then apply alkaline water.
Because the venom of centipedes is acidic, it needs to be neutralized with alkaline water, and then some detoxifying ointment should be applied if the venom is extremely strong.
The medical technology at that time could not save the patient.
Xu Wenyan slapped Xiaohu on the back of his neck: "Be careful when you do things. You were bitten by a snake and a centipede. You are a poison king."
The tiger cries: "I don't want to be bitten by them either."
Yuyin on the side looked at Xiaohu and smiled secretly. It was the first time she had seen such a naive man.
"By the way, how are you sisters settling down? My home is in the gray and white house upstairs." Xu Wenyan pointed upwards.
"Well, we have settled here, but the village chief said there are no extra houses. The village chief is a good man, so he rented us a few acres of land, right next to this brother's land."
It is a bit troublesome that there is no house in the village now. The Hua people are still looking for a factory for themselves, and that fool lives in the woodshed of the factory.
Now there are two more girls, and they are beautiful girls. Xu Wenyan really cannot guarantee the character of the people in the village.
After talking to Yuyin for a few more words, Xu Wenyan went home holding the buffalo in his left hand and Xiaohu in his right hand.
In Xu Wenyan's opinion, these kids in the family are still kids. In fact, judging by their real age, Zhou Jianye is only a few years older than him.
She made Xiaohu a cup of honeysuckle and honey water and coaxed him, "Tell me if it hurts a lot later." After all, Yuyin was an outsider, and Xu Wenyan was not very confident in her ointment.
At this time, he was already in the house checking to see which medicines he had that could save the dead child's life.
Fortunately, the pain finally subsided, and Xu Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief. He called everyone to a verbal meeting and scolded Xiaohu again.
The death rate of people in ancient times was too high. Xu Wenyan didn't want anyone around him to suddenly have an accident again, especially Chen Sanlin.
He explained to everyone over and over again many precautions and the characteristics of some poisonous plants.
"Don't touch anything you haven't seen before, don't eat anything you haven't eaten before, be careful in everything you do, and use a stick to feel for snakes in the ground before you start working in the summer.
It’s best to knock around the ground first, remember this for me.”
After finishing his speech, Luo Sanyuan found Xu Wenyan.
"Why, didn't you understand? Let me tell you again."
Luo Sanyuan shook his head violently. Xu Wenyan was too serious just now. "I want to go to your pond with Xiaoman tomorrow to play for a day. Can you lend me a mule?"
"Yes, yes."
Before Xu Wenyan finished speaking, Luo Sanyuan hurriedly added: "Absolutely follow Brother Xu's instructions! Don't touch anything you haven't seen before, and don't eat anything you haven't seen before!"
"Hiss..." Xu Wenyan frowned: "Be careful, if you lose Xiaoman, I will punish you."
Are you kidding? Xiaoman is responsible for most of the housework, and he is the only reliable person in the family. Xu Wenyan doesn't want Xiaoman to be abducted by this damn kid.
"I know, I know." Luo Sanyuan said with a grin.
