Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
Su Muyao was held in someone's arms when she heard the sound of gongs being struck outside.
So this is how village organizers work.
The open space in the village was already full of people. Because Su Laosan knew that this matter was related to his precious child, he hurriedly squeezed to the front.
When the crowd saw that Su Laosan was holding Xiao Fuxing in his arms, they made way for him.
The old village chief, the old clan chief, and several other village elders were standing in front.
The crowd was making a commotion, saying, "What's going on today? Even the village elders and the old village chief have been alerted."
"Something big must have happened; hopefully it's something good."
"What are you thinking? It's good news. The last time we were summoned, the tax increase was 20%. Were we going to increase it again this time?"
Another woman standing nearby, upon hearing this, immediately glared at the person who spoke and said, "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."
The old village chief called out from upstairs, "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce today."
"There is something to announce today, about our little lucky star."
As you can all see, our little lucky star Su Muyao is indeed quite blessed.
The crowd below was also whispering among themselves, "That's no ordinary little lucky star. I don't know what kind of good fortune the Su family had to burn to bring such a lucky star back to them."
The old village chief continued, "Our little lucky star has a very capable master. Our village's little lucky girl can identify medicinal herbs. Some time ago, she went into the mountains and found ginseng for Old Su's family."
Upon hearing this, the noise from the crowd below grew even louder, almost drowning out what the old village chief was saying.
The old village chief simply paused and took a sip of water.
"My God, how much does ginseng cost?"
"Yeah, yeah, I often hold Little Lucky Star too, so why can't I find any ginseng?"
Another person nearby laughed and said, "Even if that ginseng grew right up to your feet, you would kick it away like a weed."
The village chief clapped his hands and said, "Alright, stop arguing and listen to me."
The Su family is kind; their youngest daughter has learned to identify medicinal herbs, and she doesn't hide it away, openly sharing her knowledge with the whole village.
The people below thought they had misheard. "Village Chief, are you sure you didn't misunderstand? Do you mean that Little Fu Bao is going to teach us to recognize medicinal herbs?"
"Yes, yes, could it be that Little Lucky Star is really going to teach us about medicinal herbs? Will it cost money?"
"That can't be right. Who has such a skill? Instead of hiding it, they share it with everyone! Knowing how to identify medicinal herbs can make a lot of money!"
Many people in the crowd thought it was unlikely, after all, who would hand over their livelihood to someone else?
"Yes, you heard me right. It was Old Man Su who came to my house and told me this himself."
They said that Little Lucky Star lives with their family, but he is also Little Lucky Star in our village.
This family has done them a favor, yet they still think of us villagers.
The same goes for the wild boar; it was clearly given to Xiao Fubao by the wolf.
The Su family has already distributed their wealth to everyone, so it's understandable that they wouldn't share it with us, since it's their own property.
But they still care about us. Just for that, they're not selfish. And now they're entrusting us with such an important skill.
Therefore, I hope that in the future, when the Su family needs our help, everyone should do their part and not be ungrateful ingrates.
The villagers were thrilled to receive a positive answer.
Little Lucky Star truly brings prosperity not only to the Su family, but to everyone in the village.
Seeing that he had said enough, the old village chief waved to Su Laosan.
"Su family's mistress, do you have anything to say?"
When Su Muyao heard the old village chief call her "Dad," the third daughter of the Su family burst out laughing.
Su Laosan had no idea what his little girl was so happy about.
Looking at the little one in his arms, he mustered his courage and said to everyone, "Although I am Xiao Fubao's father, Xiao Fubao is, as the village chief just said, our village's little lucky star."
But my precious child is still young. She can do what she can for our village. We should just remember her kindness in our hearts and not spread it around.
She's too young to handle all this. From now on, just keep the name "Little Lucky Star" in the village; don't tell anyone else.
The crowd below naturally understood what Su Laosan meant; these days, those high-ranking officials and nobles didn't appreciate such nice-sounding names.
Immediately, someone in the crowd chimed in, "Don't worry, everyone knows what's going on with the Su family's mistress. We'll just talk about it in the village; it definitely won't be told outside."
"Of course, Su family boy, don't worry. From now on, Xiao Fubao's affairs are all our affairs. Anyone who makes things difficult for Xiao Fubao is making things difficult for all of us."
"Yes, Xiao Fubao is just like our own child."
The crowd was making promises one after another; they said it, and they truly meant it.
The Su family is willing to share such important skills with everyone; they're not ungrateful.
Some people with a bit of knowledge understand that this little baby will one day leave this small mountain village.
As long as they don't do anything reckless and follow in Xiao Fubao's footsteps, they, and their descendants, may one day escape poverty.
They could even afford to build better houses and buy prime farmland.
These people who are still dreaming about the future have no idea that their future holds a much wider horizon.
Finally, the clan chief and the village elders said some polite words, and the matter was considered closed.
Su Muyao said to her father who was holding her, "Just call one or two people from each household. Now we can take them up the mountain to learn about some simple medicinal herbs."
Su Sanlang nodded and spoke to the village chief.
Soon, the village chief had gathered his men and was waiting at the village entrance.
Su Muyao was carried by her father as they walked in front of her, with the villagers following behind.
Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Muyao spotted a patch of kudzu vines.
This discovery was incredibly exciting; it turned out to be kudzu root.
Kudzu root was considered a top-quality medicinal herb in ancient times. It could not only treat fever and diarrhea, but also relieve muscle tension and dispel wind.
"This is my father."
The old village chief, who was following behind, looked at the vast expanse of wild grass and felt uneasy.
Could it be that this little girl from the Su family hasn't even finished learning yet, but she's already going to teach the villagers?
Looking at the dense, identical plant in front of me, which looked thick and like climbing vines.
"Little Fu Bao, are you sure you're not mistaken? This whole area seems to be covered in this vine."
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm not mistaken. If you pull off this vine, you'll find kudzu root underneath."
The old village chief had never heard of this medicinal herb. "What is kudzu root? Do you know what it's used for?"
"When kudzu root is ground into powder, it becomes a medicinal herb, but it can also be made into food."
It can treat abdominal pain due to wind-cold and diarrhea, but the price at clinics nowadays is probably not cheap.”
The villagers behind them lit up when they heard this.
"In addition, these kudzu flowers can also be picked, and soaking them in water can help with hangovers."
Especially for vomiting blood and bloody stools caused by excessive drinking, kudzu flower has a certain therapeutic effect.
