When I arrived at the place, I realized that this was the captain's home I was looking for.

Zhang Baocai was carried into the west room and settled down. The people who came to help left when they saw that nothing was wrong. Baocai's grandmother was busy changing clothes for her eldest grandson and bringing him water.

Tian Cai washed his hands with the water in the basin, took out the dagger from the backpack, heated it, drew a cross on the wound, and squeezed the wound repeatedly until the blood turned bright red. "It's done."

Gao Huijuan hurriedly brought a basin over for Tian Cai to wash his hands, and she went back to the main room to get paper and pen.

After washing her hands, Tian Cai wrote down several medicinal herbs, marking the methods of boiling and taking them one by one. "These are all common medicinal herbs. If you don't know how to make them, come back to me."

After thinking about it, he left two more detoxification pills.

Gao Huijuan held up the thin paper and two pills and thanked them repeatedly. This girl had saved her son's life today, and she was her benefactor! Just as she was about to pull Tian Cai to say something, Zhang Defa came over.

Seeing the main person coming, Tian Cai immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Captain, my name is Tian Cai, I want to..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Zhang Defa, who was eager to know if it was true. "Can you cure diseases?"

Tian Cai hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "I'm not a formal apprentice yet. I can only treat some minor ailments and use common medicines."

Zhang Defa nodded without saying anything. He didn't need to consider whether Tian Cai could settle down in Kaoshan Village.

He was thinking about what to do with the girl's household registration. Since he heard the girl say that she had been living in the mountains before, he knew that she definitely did not have a household registration.

When the people's commune was first implemented, it was stipulated that a brigade had to have more than 100 households. There were less than 50 households in Kaoshan Village, while there were more than 70 households in the nearby Qingshan Village. So the commune decided to merge the two villages into the Beishan Brigade. However, each village remained in its original location, but the annual grain submission and distribution tasks were counted together. Each side had a team leader, one chief and one deputy.

Zhang Defa, the former village chief of Kaoshan Village, has become the current deputy team leader of Beishan Production Team. However, the team leader Li Tiegang rarely takes care of things here and only shows up for important matters such as spring plowing and autumn harvest.

Kaoshan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one main road leading in and out of the mountains. Qingshan Village is much better, so in recent years many families have married relatives there and moved there.

There is no solution to the household registration issue for the time being, but since Kaoshan Village is short of doctors, he must find a way to keep the people.

Even Doctor Liu in the commune clinic only went to the county clinic to study for more than half a year before coming back to see patients. After all, he knows how to give injections. If the villagers have a headache, fever or cold, they can just get an injection.

"My daughter, what was your name?" Zhang Defa asked.

"Tian Cai." Tian Cai reminded, "Tian means field, and Cai means the surname Cai."

"Xiao Tian, ​​wait for me to hold a meeting with the team members about this," Zhang Defa explained after noticing the confusion in Tian Cai's eyes. "It's not just about moving in, we have to solve the food ration problem as well. When the time comes, we'll all be calculated based on the work points of the production team members, but how to calculate the work points still needs to be decided by everyone."

Tian Cai was just thinking about how to find out about the work points indirectly, but the other party told her first. She thanked him sincerely and gave some instructions on when to take Zhang Baocai's medicine before leaving.

Zhang Defa is a retired veteran. He has always been fair and never favors any party. So after the previous village chief stepped down, he was elected and has been in office for more than ten years.

Tian Cai walked back slowly. The team leader had just told her that the team held a meeting every three days, and there would be one tomorrow, so he asked her to come back the day after tomorrow to hear the results.

Only on the way back did she have the leisure to look around.

Because the village is close to the mountain, and the things that are least lacking in the mountains are stones and wood, most of the houses in the village are made of stone, which looks very solid.

The family's financial situation can be seen from the tiles on the roof. Apart from the captain's family, there are two other families using tiles, and the rest are mostly thatched roofs.

Kaoshan Village is located in the north, with distinct four seasons. The winter is still relatively cold. In the original owner's memory, the coldest winter was not so cold that water would turn into ice, but it was almost cold.

Therefore, every winter was the most difficult time for the master and apprentice. The original owner had also suggested finding someone to help with the kang, but Cai Ping refused to agree no matter what. The two of them had no choice but to carry on. Fortunately, there were a lot of wood on the mountain, and they kept burning non-stop, so they got through the years safely.

Thanks to Cai Ping’s good medicine, otherwise the chilblains on my hands would not be so limited.

Tian Cai looked at the bean sprouts in his palm, wondering if that was why those people were chasing Cai Ping.

After entering the mountain, she found a flat and open place to have lunch, and rested for a while before starting to walk back. While walking, she was thinking about all kinds of things, and by the way, she identified all the herbs she saw on the way and memorized their effects.

Dandelion clears away heat and detoxifies, clears the liver and improves eyesight, removes dampness and promotes diuresis.

Mugwort warms the meridians and stops bleeding, dispels dampness and cold, and relieves asthma and cough.

Schisandra chinensis has astringent and firming properties, replenishes Qi and produces body fluid, nourishes the kidneys and calms the mind.

Solanum nigrum can promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, relieve fever and pain, and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

…

She picked a few medicinal herbs, which her family didn't have much of, and put them in a backpack. She returned to the cabin when it was getting dark.

Tian Cai was not averse to studying medicine. She chose to go to the police academy simply to follow her childhood sweetheart. However, even though they were in the same university, no spark of love flew between them, and they gradually became strangers.

She has no regrets, but she feels that if she had the chance to do it again, she would never change her choice of major for someone else.

Now that she has traveled here and is exposed to traditional Chinese medicine again, she always feels like she is standing at the crossroads of the college entrance examination. Perhaps this is what it would be like for her to choose another life.

After thinking about this, Tian Cai read the medical books more seriously and studied until late at night. Since God gave her the opportunity to make up for her regrets, she must study hard to do her duty.

And since she wants to make a living from this, she must learn and practice more and work hard to improve her own abilities, otherwise she would feel sorry for her grandfather's teachings.

The next day she watched for the whole morning and came out with her backpack near noon. She planned to go to the mountains in the north, where the forests were dense, to see if she could find anything delicious and set some traps to catch some pheasants and rabbits.

The rubber band on the slingshot she used before was from a hair tie, but it broke after just a few uses. Soon she had no more tendons to use, so she had to revert to a more primitive hunting method.

Tie the trouser legs tightly with a cloth belt, and button the collar to the top to prevent insects from entering the collar. Tuck the hem of the clothes into the waistband of the trousers and tie it tightly with a rope.

In addition to the rope and dagger, she only brought two flatbreads in the backpack. If she could catch prey, she would come back to cook it. If not, she would just eat the flatbreads.
