Chu Yue was surrounded by so many people. To be honest, the feeling was quite strange, but... not so bad.
She felt more and more that she was a member of this world, this era, and this compound.
It's the sound of the suona, which is so sharp that it goes straight into people's ears. It gives me a headache after listening to it for a long time.
When everyone was staring at the piece of pork, Chu Yue also looked over there, her bright eyes shining slightly.
However, what Chu Yue was looking at was not the evenly fat and lean pork, but the wooden stick used to hang the pork.
That piece of wood, although called a stick, was not actually as straight as an ordinary stick. Instead, it was crooked, and the bark was rough and yellow, and it was obviously an old piece of wood.
There are cuts on both ends of the wood, and you can see circles of growth rings through the cuts. This is nothing special, after all, most trees grow this way. What is really special is that the cut of this wood is actually red. [Picture]
The wooden stick was cut some time ago, and the red color has turned into dark red. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it for a while.
If it is just cut, it is bright red.
Chu Yue only took a few glances and immediately recognized that the wooden stick was not made of ordinary wood, but - Chicken Blood Vine.
Millettia grows slowly and cannot be cultivated artificially. It can only be found in the wild mountains.
It looks ordinary, like a common piece of wood, but in fact it is a rare Chinese medicinal material that has the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, replenishing blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain.
Chu Yue didn't see any chicken blood vine when she went up the mountain before. She didn't expect that the villagers would use such a rare Chinese medicinal material as an ordinary wooden stick. It was such a pity.
When Han Shi handed the pork to Chu Yue, Chu Yue shook her head.
"Captain Han, I appreciate your kindness, but this piece of pork is too valuable. I cannot accept it. You should take it back and share it with everyone in the commune."
"How can this be possible? We killed the pig and reserved the best part just to thank Comrade Chu. These are things that are to be given away, so there is no reason to take them back. No, no, absolutely not." Han Shi flatly refused. He was determined to give the pork to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue said, "My help on New Year's Eve was originally a matter of convenience. Now you are thanking me in a big way and sending pork to my house. If these things get out, my good intentions will be spoiled. Besides, my husband is a soldier in the army. They have rules and cannot take anything from the people. I am the same as him and I really can't accept it."
Hua Chuyue's words were well-reasoned and Han Shi was not an unreasonable person, so he listened to her reasons.
Song Hongmei also spoke up, "Captain Han, I originally thought you were just here to thank Chu verbally. It's really inconvenient for her to accept this thing, so you can just take it back."
Han Shi thought for a while and nodded, "Okay then."
When the sisters-in-law around saw them talking, they were all dumbfounded and whispered in disbelief.
"This pork is right before our mouths... and you're giving it back? You're not going to take it?... Miss Chu, are you willing to give up so much pork? Oh my, it really hurts me to see this!"
"It's not pork given to you, why do you feel bad? I think what Miss Chu said is right, doing good deeds is doing good deeds, there is no reason to accept things from others."
"I think so too! Captain Lu has such a high salary, and Miss Chu is not someone who can't afford pork! I think that big red flower is much more fragrant than pork! I also want to wear a big red flower."
"You're the only one who wants to wear the big red flower, hahahaha... I'll have to wait for my next life..."
At this moment, Han Shi promised not to send pork anymore, and patted his chest and said.
"Comrade Chu, I, Han Shi, keep my word. You are the great benefactor of our village. If you need any help or anything in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help."
Chu Yue didn't hesitate to say anything after hearing this, "There's something I really want right now. It's the wooden stick you used to hang pork. I think it's pretty good, and my family just happens to be short of it, so why not give it to me."
Han Shi's eyes widened in surprise, "A wooden stick. You just want a wooden stick."
"Well, I just want a stick."
Han Shi looked back and saw that the wooden stick with the pork was about as thick as his arm and was crooked, so it was not very useful as a firewood stick.
He said, "Comrade Chu, this stick is useless. If you need one at home, I can change it for you."
"No, I want that one."
Chu Yue insisted, smiling lightly.
Just like that, the fresh and tender pork was taken down, and the wooden stick with the pork hung on it was placed in Chu Yue's hand. Chu Yue reached out and touched it, and weighed it. It was quite heavy. This thing was much more expensive than pork.
After Chu Yue got the chicken blood vine, she smiled with satisfaction.
The sisters-in-law who were watching the show were all stunned: They don’t want pork, but want sticks. Is there such a stupid thing in the world?
After the lively gathering, Han Shi asked other villagers to go back first. He stayed to discuss work matters with Song Hongmei, and then he followed Chu Yue and the sisters-in-law into the courtyard.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Chu Yue held Lu Yuanbao's hand and was about to turn around when a skinny figure suddenly rushed out and came towards her.
Chu Yue's body's instinctive reaction was that she felt danger. She silently tightened the strength of the chicken blood vine in her hand, and her whole body was tense, ready to hit the opponent at any time.
However, the figure who rushed out suddenly knelt down at Chu Yue's feet, grasped Chu Yue's trouser legs tightly with his rough and skinny hands, and opened his mouth to beg.
"Comrade Chu, please... please help me heal my illness... Comrade Chu, they all say you are a miracle doctor... you are a miracle doctor... please... miracle doctor... please... please..."
The other party didn't say much, just a few sentences over and over again. It was precisely because of this that he seemed even more sad and miserable.
Worn clothes, thin body, wrinkled face, and a pair of confused eyes.
When she looked at Chu Yue, it was as if she was looking at a god. She grabbed Chu Yue's trouser legs tightly and kowtowed continuously while begging.
"Godly doctor... please... give me a child... Godly doctor, please... please..."
When the other person looked up, Chu Yue saw her appearance clearly and recognized the identity of this middle-aged woman at a glance.
She is the blacksmith's wife.
That was the poor woman who spent 100 yuan from Li Jinhua to buy Wang Chunling's child back.
On New Year's Eve, in the dark room, when Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin rushed in, the woman was hiding in the corner of the room holding the child.
At the beginning, she didn't say a word, and Chu Yue thought that this person was mute.
The timid and frightened woman was afraid of Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin's appearance, but she held the child tightly with all her courage and was unwilling to let go...
