Chapter 15 It's definitely dangerous
The third family has always been bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Seeing that Zhang Defu had withdrawn, they dared not talk back and could only leave dejectedly.
After they left, the village chief Zhang Ruoan and several other elders in the village found Zhao Chunhua.
"Sister Zhao, there are too many sick people in our team. Your mask is very useful. Can you teach us how to use it?"
"This mask is easy to make. Just find a piece of breathable cloth and sew a few stitches."
Zhao Chunhua did not hide anything and said it directly.
Then she mentioned, "But now there are more people who are sick, and wearing masks alone is not enough."
Her brows were twisted into knots, and her expression became more and more solemn as she looked at the people around her who kept coughing.
"If this continues, it might really turn into a plague. We must hurry up to the mountains to find some herbs to treat the disease."
"But we don't have a doctor here, and no one knows the herbs. What should we do?"
When Zhang Ruoan heard this, he realized the seriousness of the problem and started to panic.
"I know a few herbs. My man taught me how to identify them."
Zhao Chunhua took the opportunity to bring up her original husband.
Anyway, there has been no news since he enlisted and went to the front line. Maybe he has died in the battle.
They were unable to verify this, and their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.
"That's great. Take some people to find herbs. We can't waste any more time."
Zhang Ruoan immediately started asking people to prepare to go out and collect herbs.
But there are not many able-bodied men in the team who can run now, and after traveling continuously for the past few days, everyone is exhausted, and only a few are willing to go.
"Mom, I'll go with you!"
The army stood up and said firmly.
Soon after, Tianbao and the big bulls also expressed their intention to follow suit.
Tianfu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's go too."
Even Baozhu, who usually doesn't like to go out, didn't want to fall behind and offered to go with them.
Only Dahua held her belly and remained silent.
"Dajun, Tianbao, and Tianfu come with me. Baozhu and Daniu will stay to help my sister-in-law look after the house."
After Zhao Chunhua finished making the arrangements, she turned her attention to other people.
At this time, several young people volunteered to come forward and said, "Aunt, we will go up the mountain with you to collect herbs."
In the end, a small team consisting of Zhao Chunhua and her two sons, plus Zhang Youcai and five young and strong men in the village set out on the journey into the mountains.
It had just rained and the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk on. They wandered around but couldn't find enough herbs. They only picked up a toad grass.
With so many people sick, how can such a small amount of medicine be enough?
They had to continue searching deeper into the mountains, and when they were about to enter deeper into the dense forest, Zhang Youcai stopped.
"We can't go any further. It's dangerous in the deep mountains. I heard from the elderly that there are even black bears there. If we really encounter one, no one will survive."
Zhao Chunhua took a look at the foggy forest, shuddered, and immediately agreed to his suggestion.
"Yes, let's not risk going any deeper."
"We haven't found the medicine yet, what should we do?"
Some people said reluctantly.
"Everyone, go look for it separately. We'll all meet here in half an hour."
Zhao Chunhua suggested.
Everyone nodded, chose a direction, and then dispersed.
Seeing that Zhang Tianbao and the others were heading north, Zhao Chunhua simply headed northwest.
If there is any emergency, family members can help in time.
Fortunately, she found two or three plants of Toad Grass and Bupleurum not long after walking.
Toad grass is used to treat cough, and bupleurum is used to reduce fever.
These two things can just cure the villagers' diseases.
"It's just that the quantity is a little small. The soup made from this amount of herbs is not enough for everyone to drink a sip."
She sighed softly, "I have no choice but to move forward."
After walking for a while, her eyes lit up and she saw a honeysuckle tree full of flowers.
"This honeysuckle is a good cough reliever!"
Zhao Chunhua felt delighted and walked quickly towards the tree.
But when she got closer and saw something tangled in the branches, her smile froze.
It turned out to be a snake!
But she is the kind of person who is particularly afraid of snakes.
The snake seemed to have noticed her as well and it raised its body and stared at her with its eyes wide open, its tongue constantly retracting and retracting.
Zhao Chunhua was so frightened that she dared not move and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
At this time, Zhang Dajun was digging out a herb from the ground. He turned around excitedly and saw Zhao Chunhua.
"Mom, look what I found. Is it the toad grass you mentioned?"
He shouted excitedly and ran towards her with the grass in his hand, completely unaware that there was a snake on the tree in front of him.
"Don't move!"
Zhao Chunhua's scalp exploded and she screamed suddenly.
It's still too late.
Frightened, the snake immediately pounced towards Zhang Dajun.
It was too late for Zhao Chunhua to stop it. She watched the snake bite her son's arm fiercely.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Zhang Dajun screamed in pain and instinctively wanted to pull out the snake.
"Don't move your hands!"
Zhao Chunhua's face turned pale with fright. She squatted down, grabbed a wooden stick, and hit the snake hard on the fatal spot.
She was very strong and knocked the snake down in one go.
While it was still unconscious, he hit it a few more times until the snake's head was smashed to pieces.
Drop the stick and go check on Zhang Dajun immediately.
"Da Jun, what do you think?"
Zhang Dajun's face turned pale and he fell to the ground in fear, stunned.
"Mom, will I die?"
His voice was trembling and he was shaking with fear.
She burst into tears the next moment: "I don't want to die! I don't want to leave you, wuwu..."
Hearing the noise, Zhang Tianbao and others who had just returned hurried over to check, only to find out that Zhang Dajun had been bitten by a snake.
"Da Jun, what's wrong with you?"
"This wound looks like a snake bite. This is dangerous!"
A young man looked at the wound and said nervously.
"Earlier, Uncle Wang from our village died from a poisonous snake bite."
After hearing this, Zhang Dajun cried even harder, and his already ugly expression became even paler than paper.
"Er Gou, you really deserve a beating for your mouth. My brother will be fine!"
Zhang Tianbao cursed the person who spoke in a bad mood.
The man knew he had said the wrong thing and closed his mouth in embarrassment, but his eyes were still full of sympathy.
The army is definitely in danger today.
The place where the snake bit me became red and swollen.
Although Zhang Tianbao and Zhang Tianfu usually don't like the silly Da Jun, their younger brother who can only do manual labor.
But now that they were about to see Zhang Dajun get into trouble, they both felt very uncomfortable and their eyes were red.
"Da Jun, why are you so careless? Why are you so careless? What should we do? If you die, we will lose a brother."
"Da Jun, I treated you badly in the past. I was wrong. Remember to find a good family to be reborn into in your next life and don't suffer anymore."
"Don't talk nonsense, you unlucky guys! Mom is still here!"
As soon as these guys opened their mouths, they started crying, and Zhao Chunhua immediately got angry.
