The fifth day of the Chinese New Year is a day that every household in Yushu attaches great importance to.
On this day, they will perform a solemn ancestral worship ceremony.
People of each clan will go to their respective ancestral halls under the guidance of their family members.
It is natural for the Gu family to hold such activities as well.
In the past, each household took turns to purchase it.
This year it is the turn of someone from Qi Nai's branch to take charge. Unfortunately, Qi Nai is still in the cell and no one knows when he will be released.
The people in the third room have either died or scattered, and cannot be relied upon.
Zhao Long from the fourth room was convicted of hooliganism. He doesn't know how many years he will be in prison. He will be wasted.
As for my uncle's family, they are extremely mediocre. It is said that they have already suffered from famine and are now living on credit.
They have borrowed from thousands of households in this village, and no one knows when the debt will be repaid.
But these things have nothing to do with Zhao Wei's family.
The last time my cousin and his family came, they wanted him to continue doing hard labor, but he gave them a severe beating.
They are now lying at home, anxiously seeking treatment from barefoot doctors.
The fate of the dog owner had frightened them, and they were already traumatized by the dog bite incident.
On this day, all families fasted and abstained from drinking water, and only performed rituals in the ancestral hall.
The village was filled with the smell of smoke and the sound of chanting.
Zhao Wei didn't want to be involved in this kind of bad luck, so he hid in the deep mountains and forests.
In order to prevent Yunxiu from working at home, he tied her to his belt and took her into the mountains.
There are no large prey nearby, but it's not completely hopeless.
There are also some herbs that can be picked in this season.
They are usually leaves, or rhizomes.
At this time, Zhao Wei's sights were set on something called Kidney Essence Tea, also known as Aoaojiao.
It grows on rocks or tree trunks, and its leaves are evergreen and can still be seen clearly even when covered with snow.
It is said that this thing is a great boon for men, as it has diuretic and stranguria-relieving effects, can treat prostatitis, and dissolve stones.
Of course, some people also regard it as a good medicine for nourishing the kidneys. Drinking it soaked in water can make men vigorous and energetic.
Zhao Wei collected the leaves of this plant from a pile of stones and smiled foolishly at them for a while.
Yunxiu didn't understand why, so she naturally asked him for the scientific record.
Zhao Wei naturally did not hide anything and told everyone its function.
Yun Xiu blushed and snorted: "Pah! How come a good grass becomes something indecent after you spit it out of your mouth?"
"Tsk tsk... This is really unfair. It just happens to be called this name. I didn't name it. I am a serious person. You have to believe me."
"Humph! If you're serious, don't drink it with water if you can!"
"That won't work. If I don't drink water, how can I have a good body and satisfy you? Don't you think so?"
"You... humph! You're just making up stories."
"Wow, after only a few days of literacy classes, he has learned to use idioms. That's great progress!"
…
The two were joking and playing in the forest, and unknowingly came across a strange herb called "Xianlingpi".
At this season, the leaves of this thing have withered, and what we need are its rhizomes.
In other words, Zhao Wei had been going in and out of the mountains since he was a child, so he was quite familiar with these herbs. Otherwise, someone else might not be able to recognize them.
This thing is also considered a precious medicinal material, and the wild one is quite valuable.
If the roar just now was just in name only, then this medicinal herb can really help a man regain his virility.
It must be auspicious for him to go out today. Maybe God thinks that Zhao Wei, an impotent guy, needs this thing to regulate his body. Otherwise, how could he be so lucky.
He couldn't wait to clear the snow and start digging.
As long as you use the hoe diligently, it is not difficult to dig. After a while, you are sweating and your body is steaming.
As the two were working hard there, they heard the low warning sound of Dahuang.
This time I went out with Dahuang, and I didn't know if there was a wild animal approaching or a person.
After looking at each other, the two of them called Dahuang over tacitly and hid behind a big rock nearby.
This guy has learned his lesson now. As long as Zhao Wei pinches his mouth, it means he is not allowed to bark. If he disobeys, he will most likely not get any food.
This kind of training has been ingrained into his bones, making Dahuang lie obediently on the snow, staring at another place cautiously.
Soon, four or five people appeared in front of us, holding shotguns.
Although these people were dressed warmly and wore large dog-skin hats, Zhao Wei was able to pull out one of them with his professional eyes.
This person was from Haozi Village and happened to be one of the people who stole his tiger.
However, this time, he didn't play with the same people as before, but with these newcomers.
No matter who they are, as long as they come from Mouse Village, so far, no one has been good to them.
This person was not among those people who were caught stealing grain last time. He was lucky.
This time, as long as they don't provoke him, he can actually avoid getting into trouble with them.
Watch these people silently, waiting for them to leave.
Who would have thought that these people were connoisseurs of value, and some of them actually recognized the value of this herb and started shouting and screaming.
"Ahhh... I didn't expect to find this kind of top-grade kidney-tonifying medicine here. Quick, quick, dig it out. We'll all have a good nourishment. I guarantee that the widows in the village will scream until dawn. Hahaha..."
The acquaintance cautiously stopped everyone from making any moves.
"Has this been dug up by someone else, or is it new? Since the other party dug this thing up, they should know its value. It is impossible for them not to take it away!"
Everyone was shocked and looked around in panic.
"Uh... it's true. This guy must be hiding and planning to stab us!"
Everyone raised their shotguns and patrolled carefully.
Finally, someone pointed at the hiding place of Zhao Wei and his friends through the snow marks on the ground and shouted loudly.
"That man is behind that tree! Be careful..."
Everyone started yelling directly at the tree trunk.
"Don't hide, we have already seen you, come out quickly if you know what's best for you, maybe we can spare your life!"
"We'll count to three. If you don't come out, don't blame us for shooting!"
"One, two..."
Listening to these people's threats, Zhao Wei knew that he could not escape this time. He could only leave Yunxiu behind the tree and stand out himself.
