Chapter 6: Large Intestine Enclosed in Small Intestine, Nine-Turn Fat Intestine
The villagers dragged the wailing children back, crying as they walked.
Dong Li looked at Wen Zhenyi who was sitting on the ground crying: "Wen girl, Grandpa Dong scolded them for you, don't cry, go home quickly."
Wen Zhenyi was thinking about how to end the scene when he saw a hand reaching out from beside him. The hand had distinct joints and fair skin. It looked pretty, but a little too thin.
A gentle voice sounded in her ear: "I'll give you candy, don't cry."
Wen Zhenyi really wanted to see who was speaking so gently, so he raised his big, wet eyes and looked at the person squatting next to him.
The young man has fair skin, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His black eyes seem to be filled with scattered tiny stars. He has a straight nose and thin lips. His gaze is pure without a trace of distracting thoughts. He is elegant and gentle enough to tolerate everything, just like the clear lake water under the spring sun, which makes people immersed in it.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the young man in front of him and was stunned at first. Then, when he saw the green clothes he was wearing, he felt that the young man was very thin, even sickly thin.
Dong Li saw the boy and asked, "Han Xing, are you and your grandfather back?"
Shen Hanxing looked up at Dong Li: "Well, there is no class in the private school today, so my grandfather and I came back to the village together. I saw people gathered here, so I came to take a look."
Dong Li smiled and nodded: "Is Mr. Shen at home?"
"Well, there are no classes with grandpa at the private school today, so he came back with me."
"You are too thin, kid. You should eat well."
Shen Hanxing just smiled slightly and did not respond. Instead, he turned to look at Wen Zhenyi who was looking at him in a daze. He found that this silly girl seemed a little different.
Wen Zhenyi wiped the tears from his face, reached out and grabbed the candy in his hand and put it in his mouth, gave him a silly smile, patted his butt and left.
Dong Li watched her leave and quickly called out, "Wen girl, where are you going?"
Wen Zhenyi didn't answer. He ate the candy in his mouth. It wasn't very sweet, but it tasted good.
Shen Hanxing looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
Wen Chengwen watched the big drama written and directed by his daughter. If it weren't for his mother's repeated warnings, he might have rushed out when she was bullied by other children.
Now looking at Wen Zhenyi walking away, he was a little confused.
Everyone in Wen Zhenyi's village knew that she was stupid and couldn't speak, so no one talked to her on the way, allowing her to walk to the foot of the mountain smoothly.
She observed and saw that it was spring now, so there should be a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains. As for the olives she wanted, they were probably not available in this season. She didn't know if the pharmacy sold them. She came out this time just to see if she could find some wild vegetables.
When Wen Chengwen saw her going up the mountain, he hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should continue to follow her. After just a moment of hesitation, he could no longer see her.
He was a little anxious and didn't bother to hide. He rushed into the forest for fear that Wen Zhenyi would be in danger.
Wen Zhenyi always knew that her father was following her. Seeing him anxiously running past her, she felt helpless: "Dad."
Wen Chengwen heard someone calling him from behind, and then he turned around: "One by one."
"Dad, why are you here?"
Wen Chengwen didn't know how to answer. If he told her that he followed her here, would she think too much?
"Dad, if you have nothing to do, come with me to the mountains to find something."
"Okay, okay, what are you looking for?"
Wen Zhenyi shook his head: "I don't know."
"It's okay, Dad is with you." Wen Chengwen smiled innocently.
Wen Zhenyi didn't say anything else, he just chose to take a look near the foot of the mountain. As for the deep mountains, he would wait for a chance to talk about it!
She found some Eleutherococcus senticosus and prepared to pick some tender shoots.
Wen Chengwen saw that she was about to pick it up, so he stepped forward quickly and said, "Yi Yi, this has thorns. Let me do it, or you will prick your hand." As he said that, he picked it up and was pricked a few times.
Wen Zhenyi looked at his expression, feeling a little pained, but pretending to be calm: "Dad, you didn't even ask me what I wanted this for?"
"What are they used for?" Wen Chengwen asked while picking.
"This is called Acanthopanax senticosus, a wild vegetable with certain medicinal properties. It can nourish the kidneys and calm the mind. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as spleen and lung qi deficiency, physical weakness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. It can also be used in cooking."
Wen Chengwen looked at the leaves in his hand and said, "Is this a good thing? We usually avoid it when we see it, for fear of being pricked by the thorns."
"It's a kind of wild vegetable, and it tastes a bit bitter."
Wen Chengwen's hands were almost full of pickings, so he found a weed nearby, tied up the Acanthopanax in his hand, and left a long weed, which he stuffed into his belt and hung there.
Wen Zhenyi then remembered that she had brought a backpack with her when she went out, but she had just put it away. She hurriedly took it out and handed it to Wen Chengwen.
They also found some young shoots of Pistacia chinensis in the mountains.
Wen Zhenyi also saw a lot of wild vegetables. They didn’t pick too many for fear of wasting them. These are truly gifts from nature.
"Dad, let's go back."
Wen Chengwen nodded, there were quite a few wild vegetables in the basket on his back.
"Chengwen! Where have you been? How did your girl become like this?"
Wen Zhenyi looked down at the stains on his body, then he remembered that he had pretended to be stupid and forgot to clean it up.
"It's okay, I just wanted to have some fun."
"What do you have in your hand?"
"Some wild vegetables."
"Don't eat anything from the mountains, no matter how hungry you are. It could easily lead to accidents."
"Uncle, I know. I'll take my daughter back."
After they left, the old man shook his head helplessly: "For a silly little girl, the whole family's life has been ruined. I don't know what they are trying to achieve."
Ma Yinghe saw the two of them coming back, only Wen Zhenyi's hair was disheveled and his clothes were stained. Looking at Wen Chengwen with a silly smile on his face, she reached out and twisted his ear: "You went out with your daughter, why did you leave her like this? Did someone bully her?"
Wen Chengwen covered his ears with his hands: "It hurts, it hurts, my lady, please be gentle, listen to me."
Mrs. Wen observed it carefully and said, "Yi Yi, did you do this yourself?"
Wen Zhen nodded slightly: "Mom, this has nothing to do with Dad, I did it myself."
Hearing her say this, Ma Yinghe quickly let go of her hand and asked, "Did you do it yourself?"
Wen Chengwen recounted the whole story with a feeling of grievance.
Old Lady Wen stretched out a finger and poked Wen Zhenyi's head: "Girl, you are really..."
Ma Yinghe saw what Wen Chengwen was holding and asked, "What are these?"
Wen Chengwen took the thing out like he was presenting a treasure, and repeated the medicinal value that Wen Zhenyi had told him.
Ma Yinghe looked at the thing in her hand in disbelief: "Is this edible? It pricks my mouth just by looking at it."
"Mom, it's edible. Just blanch it in boiling water so it won't sting your mouth."
Wen Zhenyi didn't find any other ingredients, so she prepared to wrap the large intestine with the small intestine to make a nine-turn fat intestine. She had put the pig pancreas away before, and she planned to study the soap when she had time.
