"What smells so good?"
Xue Chengyuan and Xin Xiujing had just sat down on the brick bed when someone knocked on the door and pushed it open.
"Old Yao! You went down the mountain?"
Looking at the person who came in, Xue Chengyuan smiled and said,""I haven't seen a busy man like you in a long time.”
"Look at what you're saying. There's no problem for us to meet.”
"As soon as I left the mountain, I smelled the fragrance of chicken stewed with mushrooms. I followed the fragrance and found your stewed meat!”
"Then your nose is really amazing. I just finished cooking.”
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
The herb gatherer didn't hesitate. He washed his hands and sat on the side, not getting on the kang.
According to what he said, he didn't know what he brought with him after coming down from the mountain. Every time he entered the village, he would never go to the kang without taking a shower.
Xue Chengyuan didn't know what the rules were, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore.
"Your chicken mushroom stew is good. It smells so good, but the ingredients are not good!”
"That's a must. How can you put less when you eat it yourself?”
"Old Yao, what did you get from this trip?”
Xue Chengyuan looked at the herb gatherer and asked curiously.
He was still thinking of sending things into his space, but the winter snow had not melted, so he had no place to go.
"There's more to say."
The herb gatherer instantly perked up. He took out his basket and took out many things from it.
"Ageless Grass, Dangshen, and this, Lingzhi!”
The herb gatherer smiled at Xue Chengyuan and said,""I found it in a relatively remote place in the mountains. I almost lost my life to pick this thing.”
"What do you mean?"
Xue Chengyuan's interest was piqued. His eyes lit up as he watched the herb gatherer pick up the lingzhi.
"At that time, I tied the rope to a tree on the mountain top and walked down bit by bit with an iron pick.”
"Damn it! Halfway through, the pickaxe broke!"
As he spoke, the herb gatherer stretched out his hand.
Xue Chengyuan looked at his hand, which was showing signs of healing.""This isn't easy!"
"Yeah, how can this job be easy? I almost lost my life!”
The herb gatherer sighed,"At that time, the rope wasn't enough to reach the bottom, so I climbed back up bit by bit."”
"After he went up, his entire body collapsed on the ground. He was exhausted and almost lost his life!”
"Come, let's go back to you.”
Xue Chengyuan got off the brick bed and took out a jar of sweet potatoes from the cabinet beside him.""We don't have any good wine at home.”
"Deal."
While the two were talking, Xin Xiujing was like a little wife. She didn't speak the whole time, eating in small bites and pouring wine for the two from time to time.
The herb gatherer glanced back and forth between Xue Chengyuan and Xin Xiujing.
"Old Yao, are your eyes damaged too? Why is it always drifting?"
"Go! What are you saying!"
The herb gatherer said unhappily,"There are some things that can be said and some things that can't be said.”
"If it works, I'll send you a good treasure later.”
"No, Old Yao, are you trying to play riddles with me?”
Xue Chengyuan looked at the herb gatherer and said,""If you have anything to say, just say it. If you have treasures, just give them to me. What are you waiting for?”
"That won't do.”
Seeing Xue Chengyuan's disbelief, the herb gatherer took out the Ageless Grass.""Do you know what this is?"
"I know. Didn't you tell me?”
"Do you know the effect of this thing?"
"You didn't tell me that!"
The herb gatherer chuckled." This thing's effect is to nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang. It's mainly used to treat kidney deficiency, impotency, and pain in the waist and knees.”
"What does that have to do with me?"
Xue Chengyuan looked at the things in the herb gatherer's hands.""I'm young and strong now, and I have strong firepower. I don't have a wife, so why would I want this thing?”
"What do you know?”
The herb gatherer whispered,"If you can succeed, I'll give you a jar of tiger penis wine. It's soaked with cassia, halberd, epimedium, and ageless grass."”
"This thing is very useful!"
"You guys go ahead and eat. I'll go back first. These few days, my son will be in the village. I'll bring you to meet my son.”
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"You guys eat. I won't delay you any longer. I'll bring you some wine later.”
After the herb gatherer left the room, Xue Chengyuan lowered his head to eat. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with the air.
She turned around and saw Xin Xiujing's face was red. She was poking the chicken in her bowl with her chopsticks, but she didn't say anything.
"I'm eating. What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Xin Xiujing thought about what the herb gatherer had said just now. She felt extremely embarrassed when she ate with Xue Chengyuan again.
She didn't even succeed, yet she just gave him tiger penis wine to cure his kidney deficiency. Did she really think that she didn't know anything?
There was a small jar of tiger penis wine in her house. Her father always told her that it was ginseng wine.
"Eat. You can clean up later. I still have things to do.”
"Yes."
A few days later, Xue Chengyuan was sharpening crossbows under the sun in front of his house. Xin Xiujing was sitting beside him, learning how to knit a sweater.
A bell rang in the distance.
He looked up and saw a group of dogs pulling a sleigh into the village.
"I'll go!"
Xue Chengyuan put down his things and walked toward the person.
"Wang Weiqiang, you're finally back!”
"Why are there two more dogs? It's big enough!"
"Are you going back this time?"
The people in the village gathered around and greeted the people in front of them.
"I'm not leaving! This time, I brought the dog back. I applied to the higher-ups and will be staying in Wangjiatun from now on.”
A 25-year-old man got out of the car.""My wife and child will be coming over later. I've already thought about it.”
"Where is my father?"
"The old drug head is waiting for you at home. He has been waiting for you for a few days.”
Wang Weiqiang smiled and said," It's okay. Let him wait a little longer. I brought him something good."”
As he spoke, Wang Weiqiang looked around until he saw Xue Chengyuan's unfamiliar face. He then walked forward and said,"Are you Xue Chengyuan, Teacher Xue?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Xue Chengyuan looked at the man in front of him and then at the group of obedient dogs lying on the ground. He was still surprised.
It turned out that there really was a dog-pulling sleigh in the Changbai Mountains!
He had always thought that only deer could pull a sleigh, so he had learned a lot.
"The last time my dad went up the mountain, he rushed ten days to my place and asked me to move back to Wangjiatun. He even told me about you, Teacher Xue.”
Wang Weiqiang took off his gloves and went forward to hold Xue Chengyuan."Teacher Xue, thank you so much.”
"Weiqiang! You did the right thing! You, your wife, and your child are no better than us at Wangjiatun. You might as well stay here!”
"I know. I came back specially this time. I won't leave in the future.”
As he spoke, Wang Weiqiang suddenly thought of something. He took out the big bag from the sleigh and took out three little white puppies.
"Teacher Xue, this is our first meeting in Wangjiatun.”
"These are the wolves I caught over there. They're all yours.”
Xue Chengyuan looked at the dog that Wang Weiqiang handed over and quickly took it."How can I do that? I didn't prepare anything.”
"Teacher Xue, don't stand on ceremony. I have two frisky monkeys at home. When the time comes, Teacher Xue, you have to take care of them. Don't be soft-hearted if you need to be beaten or scolded.”
After hearing Wang Weiqiang's words and rushing back from such a long distance, he returned to Wangjiatun because of this.
It could only be said that parents had sacrificed too much for their children.
