Mr. Bai thought for a moment and said, "It's been a while since I disappeared."

Uncle Yaozi didn't feel disappointed, but happy instead.

He swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that the lynx has returned. At most, we will eat fewer rabbits."

Too many rabbits are quite annoying, and they are herbivorous creatures. When rabbits were rampant, many medicinal herbs were consumed by them.

"Let the lynx eat more. They can reproduce anyway."

Before he finished speaking, the fox came in.

It jumped directly onto the kang, came close to Old Man Bai, stared at the rabbit in the wooden basin on the kang table with its mouth drooling, and turned its head to bark a few times.

Even though Yi Chichi didn't understand animal language, he could tell that it wanted a rabbit.

"You can't eat this, it will explode."

The old man stroked its head, stood up and gave it half a chicken, "It's time to go when you're full."

The fox took the chicken and went to eat it aside, ignoring the old man's words.

After eating and licking his fur, he curled up on the kang and went to sleep. The old man was very angry, "Hey, why are you still relying on me?"

"I would rely on it too."

Yi Chichi said something fair, the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full is huge.

It is much more enjoyable to have someone feed you than to have to work hard to find food yourself.

It doesn't matter if I can be supported and enjoy myself, I don't have to suffer.

After all, people are lazy.

Uncle Yaozi didn't bother to pay attention to her and asked Mr. Bai about the medicinal herbs. "Are you going to send the herbs you dug this time to the purchasing station or keep them for your own use?"

"I'm not a doctor, there's no point in keeping it."

The implication is: send it to the purchasing station.

Yi Chichi immediately winked at Uncle Yaozi, signaling him to take it down.

Uncle Yaozi, who had the same idea as her, smiled and said, "Pass it to me."

"Pay according to the price of the purchasing station."

"I want a ticket."

The old man had a clear goal, "If you want to give me the money and the ticket together, I can transfer it to you."

After these words were spoken, Yi Chichi and Uncle Yaozi fell silent at the same time.

Giving money is no problem, but the ticket issue is really difficult for them.

However, the quality of the medicinal materials was not good enough, and several of them were what Yi Chi needed, so she was reluctant to give up.

So I asked tentatively, "What kind of ticket do you want, old man?"

"Industrial tickets, sugar tickets, tobacco and alcohol tickets, etc."

Grain coupons and meat coupons are not within the scope of demand.

Uncle Yaozi looked at Yi Chichi, "Is there?"

"No."

She shook her head. "I only have food stamps."

The other tickets were prepared for Wen Shi and the old man, not hers, so she had no right to control them.

At best she was just a custodian and a purchasing agent.

"You have food stamps?"

Mr. Bai looked over, and Yi nodded hesitantly, "Yes."

"National food stamps?"

She nodded, "And military food stamps."

"It's OK if I have food coupons. I can use food coupons and people to buy industrial coupons, sugar coupons, etc."

Yi Chichi's eyes lit up and he looked at Uncle Yaozi.

"Eat first. After you're done, I'll go look at the herbs and decide which ones I want."

"OK."

After a hearty meal, the three of them left the table contentedly to look for medicinal herbs.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the forest was dangerous at night.

Therefore, the three people who had no plan to go down the mountain and had a safe place to rest began to slowly select medicinal materials and negotiate prices.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that we finally agreed on the price and quantity.

The medicinal materials were sold in half, because the medicinal materials selected by Yi Chichi included several of which were of high quality, long age and good efficacy, which caused the total price to increase a lot.

In the end, the two sides reached a deal using 12 yuan and ten kilograms of national food coupons.

However, since Yi Chichi didn't have any money or tickets on him, he would have to pay them a few days later.

In response to this, Mr. Bai said it was no problem.

"With Xiaoyaozi guaranteeing you, I'm not afraid that you will run away."

As he spoke, he pushed all the sorted and packaged herbs over to him, "These are yours now."

"thank you!"

"Why are you being so polite? It's not like I'm giving it to you for free!"

That's true. After the medicinal materials were distributed, Yi Chichi began to worry about how to rest at night.

But she didn't expect that she didn't have to worry at all. Uncle Yaozi led her directly into a small room inside and said, "You sleep here tonight. Old Whitehead and I will sleep outside."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As he said this, he opened the wooden box at the end of the kang and took out a quilt and other things.

Yi Chichi was stunned, "Where did the quilt come from?"

"When hunting and collecting herbs, people will stay in the mountains for a long time. There are wooden houses like this in the surrounding mountains, which are specially used for herbalists and hunters to rest."

After all, the forest is dangerous at night, and no one dares to stay in the mountains without a safe place to rest.

They are poor, not stupid.

"We pooled our money to buy these things. They will be cleaned after the previous tenants leave. You can sleep peacefully."

At this point, Uncle Yaozi asked her, "Do you want to brush your teeth and wash your face?"

"want!"

She nodded hurriedly, then realized that she didn't bring any toiletries. Just as she was about to ask where she could get some water, Uncle Yaozi spoke before her -

"Wait."

Yi Chichi listened to the advice and waited obediently.

A few minutes later, Uncle Yaozi came over with a basin of hot water, a small wet willow branch and a tube of toothpaste in his hand.

"Do you know how to brush your teeth with willow branches?"

Yi Chichi shook his head and looked at Liu Zhi with a strange look in his eyes.

She only knew that ancient people would use willow branches to clean their teeth, but she had never seen it in real life, but she wanted to try it herself now.

How can I describe this experience? It's quite novel.

"Just chew it into pieces and add some toothpaste."

Yi Chichi said "oh", closed the door, brushed his teeth and washed his face after Uncle Yaozi left.

The experience of brushing your teeth with willow twigs is not very good, but it is better than not brushing at all.

After tossing and turning, I fell asleep and it was almost 11 o'clock.

Uncle Yaozi and Old Man Bai were guarding the outer room, so Yi Chichi had nothing to worry about.

What's more, Uncle Yaozi also gave her a knife and asked her to put it next to her pillow, so that as long as no wild beast attacked them in the middle of the night, she could sleep peacefully.

So she fell asleep.

I didn't know how long I slept when suddenly a howling sound filled the forest.

Yi Chichi woke up from his sleep, listened for a while and confirmed that it was a pack of wolves howling. He was so scared that he got up, put on his coat, took a knife and went to open the door.

The creaking sound of the door opening was extremely conspicuous in the silent forest. Old Man Bai and Uncle Yaozi, who had their eyes open outside, spoke in unison.

"The wolves are far away from here, go back to sleep!"

The same tone, even the speaking speed is different, but the voice is calm and steady. You can tell from the sound that he has been in this battle many times and is not surprised by anything.

Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, said "oh" and went back to the room.

But I felt uneasy, which caused me to be in a half-asleep and half-wakeful state for the remaining hours.

I finally fell asleep, but was woken up by the barking of a greyhound, and then -

"Little Yaozi, stop it quickly..."

Mr. Bai's loud shout was heard, followed by a strange noise.

Yi Chichi was shocked. Something came?

Curiosity overcame everything, and she rushed out with a knife in hand. The scene she saw shocked her, "Spare the deer!"
