After breakfast, Lu Cheng washed the dishes while Ji Yan played with Gungun in the yard.
As soon as the dishes were washed, a familiar voice came from the courtyard.
"Little Cheng? Is Little Cheng home?"
Ji Yan quickly ran into the kitchen and called Lu Cheng,""Hubby, Uncle is here."
" I heard you." Lu Cheng casually touched his clothes and wiped away the water stains. He walked out of the kitchen and saw his uncle.
He didn't come alone. He was accompanied by an old couple who were about the same age.
Lu Cheng and Ji Yan had seen them when they returned home yesterday. It was Uncle Ma and his wife, Auntie Ma. The couple were both good at riding horses. They had even greeted each other intimately yesterday.
"What's wrong, Uncle? Uncle Ma and Auntie Ma are here too?”Lu Cheng greeted him as he walked over. At the same time, he keenly noticed that Uncle Ma's expression seemed to be a little helpless, and his right hand was covering the area between the thumb and index finger of his left hand.
Ji Yan followed obediently and greeted her.
Uncle did not have time to greet him and hurriedly said,"Little Cheng, Mom was bitten by a snake."
"Bitten by a snake?" Lu Cheng frowned. Then, he saw Uncle Ma remove his right hand. There was an obvious wound on his left hand.
Judging from the marks, it was indeed a snake bite.
"What snake? How did you get bitten?" Lu Cheng asked.
Aunt Ma explained with a worried look,""When I woke up this morning, Old Ma went to the kitchen to cook. When I was getting firewood, a snake suddenly jumped out of the pile of firewood.”
Lu Cheng immediately felt relieved.
He said," It's okay. The snake's poison isn't very strong. I have some snakeberries here. When we go back, add some salt and mash them. Just apply them to the wound."”
" I'll go get the snake berries," Ji Yan said and turned to the kitchen.
Aunt Ma's expression became better.""Fortunately, we have you, Little Cheng. Otherwise, we really don't know what to do. Just now, your uncle happened to pass by our house and saw that the old horse was bitten by a snake. He said that you just happened to pick some snake berries that can detoxify the poison, so we came over.”
Uncle Ma snorted." If you ask me, you're just making a mountain out of a molehill. I'm a man, and I was just bitten by pockmarks." That beast couldn't bite people to death, so there was no need to apply medicine. It would be fine in two days.”
"To be safe, it's best to apply some." Lu Cheng smiled.”
Uncle Ma did not say anything. He nodded in agreement and even praised Lu Cheng with a smile.
As the only person in the mountain village who had been admitted to Imperial University, Lu Cheng was quite famous in the mountain village. Now that he had brought back a daughter-in-law from the city who was also from Imperial University, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a celebrity in the village.
Whether it was the older elders or the younger children, they would all smile and praise him when they saw him.
Soon, Ji Yan took out the snake berries and the garlic mortar with some salt in it.
She didn't know how to make snake berries to cure snake venom, but after hearing what Lu Cheng said just now, she thoughtfully prepared everything.
Lu Cheng smiled at her. He crushed the snakeberry in a garlic mortar, then took out some and smeared it on Uncle Ma's wound. That was it.
Aunt Ma thanked him and left with Uncle Ma.
"Now I feel at ease."
"Why do you have to make medicine? You have to trouble Little Cheng.”
"You think you can do it? Do you have to wait until it's serious before treating it? Xiao Cheng had already said that to be safe, he had to apply medicine.”
"When I was young, a bow was enough to traverse the mountains. A mere pockmark was nothing!”
"Alright, alright, alright. You can do it, right…"
The two of them bickered as they walked. The viewers in the live broadcast room saw this scene and sent bullet comments.
"I've learned another skill. I won't be afraid of being bitten by snakes in the future.”
"Previous poster, the snakeberry can only cure snakes that are not very poisonous, but if you are bitten by a snake with a strong poison, I advise you to get yourself a beautiful coffin as soon as possible.”
"Big Brother Cheng really knows everything. As expected of a man from our mountain village!”
"Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma are so loving, haha. They've been bickering, but Aunt Ma's concern for Uncle Ma is sincere.”
"Sigh, it's not easy to see such simple feelings now.”
" It probably collapsed because of years of disrepair and the heavy rain last night," Lu Cheng said casually.
When First Uncle heard this, he looked a little worried."Your house is indeed old. You have to build a new house as soon as possible.”
Lu Cheng nodded and asked,""By the way, uncle, what kind of trees are there on this mountain?”
"Tree?" Uncle thought for a moment and said,"There are all kinds of trees. Camphor trees, cedar trees, pine trees, birch trees, and so on."”
"Then do you have golden Phoenixes or red sandalwood?”
"I know about the Golden Nanmu. There seems to be some in the mountains, but we have to go deeper. We can't see it from the outside.”
"Hmm…it's a very hard wood.”
"Then I don't know. Why are you looking for this thing?”
"I'm building a new house, so I'm thinking of getting some good materials to make some furniture.”
"Good fellow, you really know how to think. Alright, when you have nothing to do later, you can go up the mountain and take a look. However, don't go too deep.”
After seeing his uncle off, Lu Cheng turned around and met Ji Yan's bewildered gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Cheng asked her with a smile.”
Ji Yan sized Lu Cheng up and said hesitantly,"Hubby, are you really thinking of going up the mountain to cut down trees and help me make guzheng?”
Last night, Lu Cheng had said that he would help her make a guzheng. At that time, she had not had the time to ask in detail when it started to thunder and rain outside. Then, she was pulled by Lu Cheng to exercise, so she had forgotten about it for a moment.
Now that she heard Lu Cheng mention the wood, she felt a little uneasy.
Hubby, do you really want to make a guzheng for me?
