Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
"Is it thunder?" Yu Fuling said uncertainly.
Yu Jiao looked up at the sky, her delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, and whispered, "It's going to rain, let's go over and meet up with Uncle Zhou and the others quickly, it's still in time to go down the mountain now."
Seeing Yu Jiao so nervous, Yu Zhixing smiled and said, "The weather in the mountains is changeable. It has been sunny these few days, so it may not rain. Even if it does, it is mostly showers in summer and won't last long. There is a cave nearby, we can just hide there when the time comes."
After hearing what Yu Zhixing said, Yu Jiao felt more at ease. Fortunately, Yu Qiaoshan and his friends often went up the mountain, so even if there was a heavy rain, they should have the experience to deal with it.
Now that she's here, she can take the opportunity to look for some Yaocao that grows with the rain and withers when the rain stops. If she can find Yaocao, Yu Jiao will be 60% sure that she can cure Yu Qizhe's body.
The three of them hurried back to the place where they killed the wild boar. Yu Qiaoshan and Zhou's father and son were using soil to cover the bloodstains left on the ground after killing the wild boar. Fearing that the smell of blood would attract more ferocious beasts, they also sprinkled a lot of soil on the dead wild boar.
Yu Jiao took out a paper bag from the bag she was carrying and handed it to Yu Qiaoshan, saying, "Uncle, this is a bag of medicine powder I ground last night. Sprinkle it on the wild boar to cover up the smell of blood."
Yu Qiaoshan took it doubtfully, "Can pork still be eaten if this powder is sprinkled on it?"
Yu Jiao patiently explained, "This is made from several herbs. It's not toxic, it just masks the smell."
Hunting is bound to be bloody, and the ferocious carnivores in the mountains often follow the smell of blood in the wind. Yu Jiao thought of this when she was making powder to repel mosquitoes yesterday, so she made this package of herbs.
Not only that, early this morning, she also put some herbs for treating fever and cold into her bag to prevent any accidents and in case of emergency.
After hearing what Yu Jiao said, Yu Qiaoshan felt relieved and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wild boar. He had seen Yu Jiao prescribing medicine to treat illnesses these days, so he still had some faith in her medical skills.
After cleaning up the blood on the ground, Yu Qiaoshan said cheerfully, "Today, we found a wild boar when we opened the business on the mountain. This is a good omen."
Before he finished speaking, bean-sized raindrops began to fall on his head. Yu Qiaoshan wiped his forehead and said, "Hey, it's really raining."
Zhou Xiang said quickly, "Carry up the wild boar, let's go to the east cave to hide, the summer showers won't last long."
The dead wild boar on the ground weighed nearly 100 kilograms. Zhou Xiang's son and Yu Zhixing, two young and strong men, were very strong. They lifted the wild boar and the group of people walked quickly towards the forest in the east.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the early sun had already disappeared, the sky above the mountains and forests was gray, as if a curtain was drawn, and dark clouds were gathering.
After finding the overgrown cave entrance, Yu Qiaoshan and Zhou Xiang used hunting knives to push aside the tangled vines at the entrance, and they hid in the cave. Their clothes were all a little wet, but fortunately, although they were summer clothes, the fabric of women's clothes was very plain. Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling also intentionally protected their chests. They took out the outer clothes they brought from their bags and put them on.
Everyone in the village who went hunting in the mountains knew about this cave. If they stayed overnight in the mountains, they would stay in this cave, so there was a lot of dry firewood in the cave. Yu Qiaoshan took out a handful of dry grass, took out a tinderbox and lit a fire, "to warm up the clothes on my body."
It was summer, and after lighting a fire, the clothes of several people were dried in a short while. Zhou Xiang stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the continuous rain outside, and said, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier."
Yu Qiaoshan raised his eyes and looked at Yu Jiao, "You really got it right."
Zhou Xiang looked at Yu Qiaoshan in confusion. He smiled and explained, "Last night, Miss Meng said it was going to rain today and asked me to come up the mountain the day after tomorrow. I didn't expect it to really rain!"
