Chapter 21: You're responsible for your own mistakes



"Dad asked you to go and call the captain and the people from Old Tang's family. Shen Guixiang will come to our house with her relatives soon. She threatened to destroy our house."

Lu Wenhua was running breathlessly, looking very anxious.

Lu Baiwei was about to serve the prepared meal, but when she saw Lu Wenhua, the insatiable eater, coming, she didn't serve the food, but just walked out of the kitchen slowly.

Lu Baiwei and He Ting were unable to move and Lu Wenhua was extremely anxious.

He came up to pull people over: "Sister, hurry up, if you don't call for help, Shen Guixiang will really destroy my house."

Lu Baiwei had fallen into many troubles at the hands of that little brat Lu Wenhua. He was a naughty boy at such a young age, and he would always blame herself for anything that was broken.

If nothing goes his way, he will scream and cry endlessly.

Every time Lu Wenhua cried, Lu Jianguo would beat her without knowing the reason. Once, he even threw a wood-cutting knife at her. If she had not dodged quickly, she would have lost her life to Lu Jianguo.

She had long lost interest in that family.

What's more, in his previous life, Lu Wenhua had secretly used shady tricks to harm her several times for money.

She almost lost her life several times.

Lu Wenhua came to pull her hand, but Lu Baiwei shook him off: "What does it have to do with me?"

Lu Baiwei had never hit him before, and Lu Wenhua burst into tears.

He howled non-stop: "Sister, you don't care about me anymore. Shen Guixiang scratched me and you hit me too."

It wasn’t enough for Lu Wenhua to cry, she also rolled on the ground.

He Ting would not tolerate him. His face immediately turned cold and his aura became terrifying.

"roll!"

He Ting roared, and Lu Wenhua was so scared that she didn't dare to cry anymore.

His shoulders shook and he burped: "Brother-in-law..."

"Your brother-in-law is not here. I'll say it again, go away and don't bother my wife."

He Ting didn't waste any time talking to him and pointed at the door with a cold voice.

Even though Lu Wenhua is a crying kid, he can actually read people's faces.

He Ting's aura was too terrifying, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. Lu Wenhua was frightened by his gaze, and rolled up from the ground, stumbling out.

As if he was being chased by a ghost, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

After running out of the clinic, she ran away sobbing and crying.

The food cooked by Lu Baiwei tasted so tempting that He Ting was already starving. He chased Lu Wenhua away for her, and when he faced Lu Baiwei, his expression immediately softened.

"Weiwei, what are we having for lunch today?"

"It's too late to cook, so I picked some wild onions and made some scallion pancakes, and I made some cold cucumber salad. I also made some mung bean soup in the morning and kept it in a water jar. It's cool now. I'll serve you a bowl of it to go with the scallion pancakes."

During the days when the brigade was planting rice, Shen Guixiang had a big fight with Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua.

Lu Baiwei heard from her cousin Tang Yunling that Shen Guixiang brought her family members to Lu Jianguo's house and smashed everything in it, and also beat him and his wife up.

Of course, Lu Jiaojiao, who hoped to become the wife of a billionaire, was also severely punished.

I heard that a piece of his scalp was torn off and his face was almost disfigured by Shen Guixiang.

This has nothing to do with Lu Baiwei.

You will suffer the consequences if you do evil.

Lu Baiwei enjoyed watching the show.

Yin Zhihe's crime of hooliganism was not determined, and when the two families were quarreling, Lu Baiwei took He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng to the mountain. Also going up the mountain were her cousin Tang Yunling and several of her cousins.

The weather in late June and early July was very sunny.

The weather was not so hot when we set out early in the morning. There were shades from the trees as we walked through the mountains and forests. The breeze occasionally brushed across people's faces and hair, so it was still quite cool in the mountains.

By noon, the sun was scorching.

After walking on the mountain road for half a day, I feel tired and exhausted.

When she was a child, she often followed her grandfather to the mountains to collect herbs. Lu Baiwei didn't feel tired. Her cousins ​​and cousin Tang Yunling were also in good spirits. He Ting had practiced martial arts, so although he was not used to going up the mountain, he had the physical strength to keep up.

Only Zhou Yanfeng, who went up the mountain with them, was obviously exhausted.

"Sister-in-law, cousins, how long will it take?"

"We're almost there. Let's go over the mountain ahead and find a place to eat some dry food."

Zhou Yanfeng leaned against a tree trunk, looking like he was about to collapse from exhaustion. He Ting expressed his disdain with his eyes.

Although she felt disgusted, she still poured half of the mint tea in her pot to Zhou Yanfeng.

The mint tea was icy cool. As soon as Zhou Yanfeng drank it, the cool taste stimulated his taste buds and cells, and also dissipated the summer heat in his body, making him feel refreshed.

Cousin Lu Baiwei led the way in front, and with the encouragement of He Ting and Lu Baiwei, Zhou Yanfeng was able to walk again.

Sure enough, after climbing over the hillside in front, we arrived at a flat valley.

There is a gurgling stream in the valley, and many Acorus calamus grow in the cracks of the rocks in the middle of the stream.

The moist areas beside the stream are covered with moss, dotted with clusters of Ophiopogon japonicus. Many small light blue fruits grow among the dark green Ophiopogon japonicus clusters.

Ophiopogon japonicus and Acorus calamus are all traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. Lu Baiwei was itching to pick some and throw them into the medicine basket on her back.

Tang Yunling knew her best. He had taken off his shoes and socks and was walking barefoot in the stream, pulling up a calamus by its roots.

"Weiwei, do you want it?"

Although Acorus calamus and Ophiopogon japonicus are traditional Chinese medicinal materials, these two herbs are very common and cannot be sold at a good price.

Lu Baiwei came here today for a precious medicinal ingredient.

It's not cost-effective to travel so far to get these common herbs.

"Please have some. This is not what we came here for today."

"I can't get my barefoot doctor certificate so quickly. The clinic will be open in at least one or two months. There's no rush to get these common herbs."

Along the way up the mountain, He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng chatted with Lu Baiwei's cousins, and only then did they realize that they were not only going up the mountain to get pigs, but also to accompany Lu Baiwei to the mountain to collect herbs.

Several mountains close to the brigade had already been cleared by nearby members.

Apart from a hare running through the grass along the way, he didn't encounter any prey.

A grey rabbit made Zhou Yanfeng so excited that his blood boiled. He started chasing it and almost rolled down the hillside. However, Lu Baiwei and her cousins ​​were not in a hurry at all. They stopped him and said that good stuff could only be found in the deep mountains.

Lu Baiwei also said that she went up the mountain to collect herbs, but her backpack was still empty after walking for half a day.

Zhou Yanfeng munched on the pancakes Lu Baiwei had baked and walked over barefoot in the stream.

"Sister-in-law, what herbs do you want to collect?"

"It's a good herb. You'll know after you take a break and walk around."

Tang Yunling spoke for Lu Baiwei and suddenly pointed excitedly at Zhou Yanfeng's feet: "There is something under your feet."

Zhou Yanfeng stepped on the stones in the stream. Something was drilling in the cracks of the stones, making the soles of his feet numb and itchy.

Zhou Yanfeng had the experience of being sucked blood by leeches, so he looked down and saw what seemed to be a fish with long legs crawling under his feet.

"What the hell."

Zhou Yanfeng jumped high, and his feet bounced up and fell back into the stream, splashing water all over him. He also stepped on a slippery stone and fell into the stream.
