Chapter 198 The Man Who Fell Half Dead
"Sir, you are looking for me."
Zhou Yunshu put down the brush in her hand and said to He Wenyuan, "Let's go to the place where the grain is stored on the mountain."
He Wenyuan thought it was time to go and see Zhou Yunshu now that she was here, so he nodded and said, "Should it be just the two of us? Should we also call Zhan Chuan and the others?"
"Haruzai and Zhanchuan are enough."
She was just going to take a look, not to move the food hidden in the mountain down.
"good."
When the two of them went out, the noise outside was no longer so loud. Zhou Yunshu took a casual look and saw that the villagers had already lined up in two queues with their children.
There weren't many people queuing, most were gathered around to watch the excitement, and some even had the courage to look into the yard.
Zhou Yunshu took a quick look, and after He Wenyuan called Zhan Chuan, the four of them crossed the side yard and headed straight towards Xiaoqingshan.
On the way, He Wenyuan said, "Originally, the villagers of Dongwang Village often came to Xiaoqingshan. After we warned them several times, few people came here anymore."
"However, because there are some precious medicinal herbs growing on the mountain now, as well as the things we brought back from Damiao Village, we set up some traps at the foot of the mountain and in places that are easy to climb up the mountain just in case."
"These traps are quite subtle and require someone to guide them to avoid them."
"If there are really blind people who want to continue to take advantage of us, they will probably be severely punished."
After He Wenyuan said this, Chunque and Zhanchuan began to silently memorize the location of the traps in preparation for going up the mountain in the future.
But they didn't expect to meet that short-sighted man so soon, and that man fell into a trap, with half of his body pierced by bamboo thorns, the deepest of which pierced his calf.
Judging from the dried blood on his body, it seemed that he had fallen into the trap for some time, but he was not dead. He seemed to have just fainted. Zhou Yunshu even saw some very old ginseng in the scattered bamboo baskets beside him.
Did he dig out the ginseng seedlings that He Wenyuan had planted before?
He Wenyuan frowned as he looked at the half-dead man in the trap.
He had just told Zhou Yunshu that few people came to Xiaoqingshan, but the next moment he met someone who had pulled out their ginseng seedlings. Wasn't this a slap in his face!
Why doesn't this guy just die here!
Zhou Yunshu wasn't particularly surprised. She just said to Zhan Chuan who was standing beside her, "Fill it out and throw it at the village entrance for someone to claim it."
Then Zhou Yunshu asked He Wenyuan, "Calculate how much the herbs in his basket are worth and tell Zhan Chuan so that he can get them back together."
"yes."
After Zhan Chuan brought the man up, he felt his breath to make sure he was still breathing. Then, after Uncle He quoted the price of the herbs, he carried him on his shoulders and returned to the village.
Zhou Yunshu was not stopped by this accident and continued to climb up Xiaoqing Mountain under the guidance of Uncle He.
We encountered several traps on the way, but no one fell into the traps. Instead, we found an unlucky rabbit whose legs were tied with straw ropes by the spring bird. We were going to go back tonight to let the winter pigeons add to its meal.
The entrance to the cave on the mountain was blocked by vines. Zhou Yunshu stood at the entrance. He Wenyuan and Chunque pried the entrance open and then lit a torch.
He Wenyuan went in first, Zhou Yunshu followed behind, and Chunque protected Zhou Yunshu on both sides.
"After the cave was expanded, it was moisture-proofed and sprinkled with Doctor Xue's powder. Snakes, ants, and mosquitoes can't get in."
When He Wenyuan was outside the cave, he saw that there was no change at the cave entrance and was not relieved. But when he saw that there were no footprints on the powder sprinkled on the ground, his heart finally settled down.
He only did a few tasks for Zhou Yunshu. If one or two went wrong, what would be the point of his existence?
The longer He Wenyuan spends with Zhou Yunshu's family, the more he wants to become Zhou Yunshu's confidant.
He knew that even if Zhou Yunshu was a woman, she would definitely not be an ordinary person.
When He Wenyuan stepped aside, Zhou Yunshu stepped forward.
She had already checked out the cellar at home. Even in a disaster year, it would be no problem for the people in her family to survive for two years. With the ones in the mountains, it would be enough for seven or eight years, provided they didn't spoil.
However, she has more than just these people, and the number of people will increase, but the food is still not enough.
Zhou Yunshu touched the bag of food, wondering how to transfer the things in her space quietly without being discovered by anyone.
She still has to go out.
When coming down from the mountain, Zhou Yunshu thought of Xixi, the little girl who loved beauty, and picked a big bunch of wild flowers from the roadside, preparing to share some with her grandmother, mother and second aunt.
Thinking of this, when they came down the mountain, the three of them had their arms filled with flowers.
Xiao Qingshan came from the side yard, but did not return from the side yard by the same route.
Zhou Yunshu took Chunque, who had received the flowers from He Wenyuan, back home from the backyard, while He Wenyuan went directly to the front yard.
Zhou Yunshu wanted to see the account book, so he had to find the account book in advance and take it to the study for Zhou Yunshu to check.
When Zhou Yunshu came to the backyard, Ji Mingzhu was playing chess with Nanny Wang. When she saw the flowers in Zhou Yunshu's arms, she smiled.
"Grandma, this is for you."
Having said that, Zhou Yunshu did not immediately hand the bouquet to Ji Mingzhu. She was afraid of hurting Ji Mingzhu's hand. Ji Mingzhu was the oldest and most delicate child in the family.
Dong Ge came over with a goose yellow silk satin very discerningly. After Zhou Yunshu instructed her to cut out a piece of satin, she carefully tied up the rough branches under the wild flowers with the satin, and then handed it to Ji Mingzhu.
The smile on Ji Mingzhu's face hadn't faded since she saw the flowers in Zhou Yunshu's hand. "The last time I sent flowers was from your grandfather."
This was the first time Ji Mingzhu mentioned Zhou Cungao since that incident.
Zhou Yunshu was afraid that she would be sad, so she pinned a red azalea to Ji Mingzhu's ear. Ji Mingzhu laughed and said, "You are an old woman, how can you wear such a bright flower?"
"Grandma is the most beautiful woman in the world!" Zhou Yunshu was not very satisfied with the azalea flower. "I should have given her a peony instead."
"Dujuan is not bad either." Ji Mingzhu said with a smile.
Zhou Yunshu leaned against Ji Mingzhu and said, "Grandma, I will often send you flowers in the future."
Since she has taken on the responsibility of this family, she will definitely take good care of the family members for her grandfather and father, no matter how.
Ji Mingzhu sighed slightly, touched Zhou Yunshu's hair, and said softly, "My Shu'er."
Now she is the only one who can support the Zhou family.
"Yun Shu!"
Wu Gui's anxious voice interrupted the warmth between the grandfather and grandson.
Zhou Yunshu stood up and looked at Wu Gui who was hurriedly passing through the main courtyard. She stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Gui looked at Ji Mingzhu who was sitting next to Zhou Yunshu and subconsciously straightened her back. She was too anxious just now and was rude in front of the Grand Princess.
"What's wrong?" Ji Mingzhu asked.
Wu Gui took two steps forward and said anxiously, "The man who fell and was almost dead in Xiao Qingshan was the brother-in-law of a nearby pirate!"
