Chapter 35: A Bountiful Harvest of Fish in the Small Rock Pond

Lu Mingchuan is an expert at killing fish. He scrapes off the scales, cuts open the belly and removes the black membrane, and in no time he has cleaned the fish thoroughly.

Su Heng went to the backyard, dug some soil, put the seven-leaf clover in a small ceramic pot, and placed it on the windowsill of her room.

Because it lost some superpowers, the grass did not wilt, but looked more energetic.

The small fruits are still hanging firmly on the branches, and the purple flowers on top are swaying in the wind.

She finished packing and was about to put the basket in the west room when she remembered the snake inside.

Turning over the leaves to reveal the small green snake, Su Heng was a little confused. He knew he had to get the snake gall first.

She used tongs to pick up the snake and brought it to Lu Mingchuan, who was washing fish in the pool.

"Can you extract snake gall?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingchuan turned around and his eyes froze when he saw Su Heng's actions, and then he realized that it was a dead snake.

"How dare you catch anything? Do you know how poisonous this is?"

Lu Mingchuan's expression was serious and a little angry.

Although she didn't know what kind of species this stupid fox was, if she was really poisoned, there would be no one to save her in the deep mountains even if she called out.

Su Heng felt very wronged: "It was it that provoked me, and I beat it to death with a stick."

There are all kinds of dangers in the mountains. Lu Mingchuan looked at Su Heng's cheeks which were slightly red from the sun.

Ultimately, people go into the mountains because they have no money.

It’s time to write a letter to urge him to do something. Why hasn’t his transfer notice arrived yet?

After giving the snake to Lu Mingchuan, Su Heng took the processed fish and went into the house to cook.

This palm-sized fish tastes delicious no matter how you cook it. Since there was a lot of it, she simply cooked it in two ways.

The small ones were picked out and a plate of fried fish was made. The crispy fish were sprinkled with homemade chili powder. Su Heng couldn't help but try one first.

It’s a pity that there are no children next door, otherwise they would be jealous and cry.

The rest was to cut some of the few remaining cured fat and simmer the oil, fry the fish in the pan for a while, and then stew it in boiling water.

Just simple seasoning is needed, and the thick white fish soup looks very delicious. Just sprinkle some chopped green onions on it and it is ready to be served.

Unable to wait for the food to be served on the table, Su Heng specially took an empty bowl to drink the fish soup. After taking a sip, it was indeed very delicious.

She only used ginger to remove the odor, but the soup did not smell fishy at all. Even the fish meat, which was expected to have many small bones, only had one main bone on the back.

Su Heng decided to go there again to catch some fish tomorrow.

After dinner, Lu Mingchuan handed her the snake gall soaked in wine.

Su Heng was not interested in this thing, so he asked him to put it in the cabinet and take it to see if anyone wanted it next time he went to the city.

After taking a nap, Su Heng planned to find Song Wan. Her supernatural power had recovered to level three, so she could start treating Lu Mingchuan.

Before that, I have to learn acupuncture to cover it up, otherwise how will I explain this medical miracle?

But after all, it was Song Wan's family craft. Even if Su Heng only wanted to learn the simplest one to pretend, it would not be easy to take it for free.

So he took out the money Lu Mingchuan had given him from the small iron box and put a few bills in his pocket.

Since it is to treat his leg, let's use his money as tuition.

When I arrived at the educated youth site, I didn't see Song Wan.

It was the same male educated youth who was eating melons last time who told her that Song Wan was specially recruited to work in the health center.

"Hey, aren't you two very close? How come Song Wan didn't tell you?"

Su Heng was speechless when she heard this sarcastic voice. Didn't Fang Ping get enough of being scolded? She would always talk back to her every time she came.

"What's it to you? Do you have nothing to do? Go and demolish the cowshed at the entrance of the village."

In those days, cowsheds had a special meaning. Those who had problematic backgrounds and needed reform were sent down to the countryside, and there was no place to accept them, so they had to live in cowsheds.

"You...you are so vicious, stop cursing at me!"

Su Heng smiled generously: "It's okay to be a little vicious to you."

After saying that, he ignored her and went straight to the clinic.

It seemed that Song Wan was also actively looking for a way out during this busy period for her, which did not surprise her.

The number of people seeing patients in the small pharmacy increased from one to two, and the older one actually asked the younger one for advice.

Su Heng knocked on the open door, immediately attracting the attention of the two.

When Song Wan saw that Su Heng didn't look surprised when she saw her, she knew that she must have listened to what others said.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Heng shook her head: "No, I came to see you."

"Looking for me?" Song Wan walked over from behind the consultation table.

After thinking for a moment, he explained, "The commune leader assigned me to be Dr. Liu's assistant. I've been a bit busy these past two days and haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Sure, I just heard about it and haven't had time to congratulate you yet. How about we have dinner at my house some other day to celebrate you getting a job?"

As Su Heng spoke, the idea of ​​having hotpot came to her mind again. Hotpot is only fun when eaten by a group of people.

Seeing that she not only did not misunderstand, but was genuinely happy for her, Song Wan couldn't help but smile.

Su Heng always warmed her up unexpectedly.

Finding a job is indeed worth celebrating with friends, but it is not convenient for her to treat everyone at the educated youth site.

It would be better to go to Su Heng's place. Then she would find a way to get some meat over. She couldn't take advantage of Su Heng every time.

"Then I'll let you treat me first. I'll treat you again after my house is built."

"Sure, sure."

Doctor Liu, who was still waiting for Song Wan to answer his questions, saw that they were chatting endlessly and coughed twice in protest: "Hey, Su girl, you came to chat with me?"

Su Heng saw the notes in Dr. Liu's hand and said with a smile, "We've just chatted for a few minutes, and there are no patients right now. Dr. Liu, are you instructing Song Wan?"

Doctor Liu was honest: "On the contrary, she was the one who guided me."

Su Heng: "Haha, that's really rare. You're a lifelong learner."

Song Wan was helpless: "Doctor Liu is just being modest. Every profession has its own expertise. I just happen to understand this aspect."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Heng and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Su Heng looked at Doctor Liu and thought about how he also learned acupuncture from Song Wan in the book. It seemed that it was not something that needed to be kept secret, so she told him her thoughts.

"I want to learn a little acupuncture from you, just the acupuncture points around the knees."

Song Wan knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and with a hint of amusement in her eyes, she asked, "Did you learn it for him?"

"I guess so." Su Heng thought this sounded strange, and explained, "His leg hurts when it rains. I want to learn from you how to give him acupuncture to relieve the pain."

Song Wan smiled with a hint of meaning, but also said honestly, "If his legs still hurt after taking the pills I gave him, it means his condition is very serious, and your acupuncture may not be very effective."

Su Heng knew this, of course, but it was just a cover-up, so she said, "Let's try it, just in case."

After she said that, Song Wan didn't want to pour cold water on her.

Sometimes it’s okay to be more optimistic. Even in a difficult life, you must have hope to continue.

"Then it's just right for you to come and learn from Dr. Liu."
