Chapter 19: Master
Seeing Zhang Ruoan's face turn ugly, the couple's smiles became brighter.
However, when they thought Zhang Ruoan would severely punish Zhao Chunhua, he suddenly pointed at them and shouted, "You guys really don't know what's good for you! You drank the medicine that Zhao Chunhua collected with great effort, and yet you slandered her. Have you all lost your conscience?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon they retorted unwillingly: "Those are just ordinary weeds, everywhere on the roadside, how did she work so hard?"
Zhang Ruoan was so angry at their stubbornness that he said, "Since you think it's so easy, then go and try it yourself and see how easy it is."
Zhang Youcai quickly supported Zhang Ruo'an, who was shaking with anger, and yelled at everyone: "In order to find these medicines for everyone, Aunt Zhao's Xiaoshuan was bitten by a snake, and you still don't appreciate it!"
When Zhang Daniu heard this, he looked at Xiaoshuan in astonishment and asked, "Brother, were you really bitten by a snake?"
Xiaoshuan smiled foolishly and said, "Mom helped me apply medicine, and I'm fine now."
Zhang Daniu breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for him to show everyone the wound.
Xiaoshuan lifted his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.
Sure enough, there was a piece of cloth tied around the black arm, with some bloodstains visible on it.
Zhang Daniu quickly peeled off the cloth, revealing a clear wound with two small red dots.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked: "I was really bitten by a snake."
Everyone gasped in unison.
This is life-threatening.
Seeing that everyone was a little shaken, Bai Xiaowei hurriedly said: "It is true that she used pig grass to fool people. This indigo root was originally used to feed pigs."
The blue root is indeed very common and can be found everywhere on the road.
Of course Zhang Ruoan knew this thing.
But he also knew that in the team, only Zhao Chunhua truly understood herbs.
So after a little consideration, he said, "Who says pig grass can't be used as medicine? What's the situation now? When there is really no food, let alone pig grass, even grass roots and tree bark will have to be eaten."
Despite this, everyone was still not convinced when they saw the village chief fully supporting Zhao Chunhua.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Zhang Ruoan said helplessly and angrily: "You all think you are lucky, right? Fine, I don't care anymore."
After saying that, he left angrily.
Seeing things develop to this point, Zhang Youcai also looked unhappy: "How foolish! Aunt Zhao is the only one in our team who knows herbs. You are so picky. When the disease becomes serious, let's see what you will do!"
After hearing this, everyone started to panic.
But since he had just offended someone, it was not a good time to bow his head, so he just said, "We don't need her."
Zhang Youcai sighed helplessly and took another deep look at these people: "You will regret it later."
Before, when the village chief was still arguing with the villagers, Zhao Chunhua had already brought several children of the Zhang family back to their temporary residence.
She didn't want to argue with those stupid idiots.
Just as the family lit a fire to cook, the village chief arrived.
Zhao Chunhua knew what he was here for, and before the village chief could speak, she said, "Village chief, since no one appreciates my kindness and thinks I will harm them, I will not care anymore. Go find someone else to help you collect herbs."
"well……"
Zhang Ruoan sighed, knowing that these people had hurt her feelings today. She wanted to say something else, but saw Zhao Chunhua turn around and direct her family to prepare dinner.
He had no choice but to give up.
Not long after Zhang Ruoan left, he asked his son to deliver a pound of brown rice.
"Aunt Zhao, my father asked me to deliver it."
Zhang Youcai handed her the rice and said some comforting words.
"Aunt Zhao, don't listen to their nonsense. My father and I know that you are a good person, and we believe that your herbs must be useful. They are the ones who don't know how to be grateful, so don't bother with them."
Zhao Chunhua nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Youcai sat for a while, put down the rice bag and left.
The Zhang family's children had been staring at the rice bag. As soon as Zhang Youcai left, they immediately rushed over and picked it up.
When they opened the rice bag, the strong aroma of rice wafted into their noses. Several people swallowed their saliva and stared at Zhao Chunhua.
"Mom, can you cook tonight?"
"You are so useless. You are so greedy for a little brown rice."
Zhao Chunhua said dissatisfiedly.
But she still nodded and asked Xie Lanqin to cook the rice.
A pound of rice is definitely not enough to cook porridge, so Xie Lanqin had to add half a pot of water to cook porridge.
After the rice was poured into the pot, Zhao Chunhua came over with a handful of dried meat.
"Cut these into small pieces and cook them together in the pot."
Xie Lanqin took the jerky in surprise, her eyes widened: "Mom, didn't you say you had eaten it all before? Why are you taking out so much now?"
"Hey, you still dare to control me? Stop asking so many questions."
Zhao Chunhua glanced at her sideways and said, "Hurry up and cook. I'm so hungry."
After saying that, she turned around and treated Zhang Dajun's wound.
Xie Lanqin stood there holding the dried meat, looking aggrieved.
Zhang Tianbao saw his wife like this and came over to comfort her: "Dahua, don't be angry with your mother. You know her temper is like this, she speaks a little harshly, don't mind it."
Xie Lanqin nodded sullenly: "I just find it strange, how can she always have these delicious dried meats?"
Zhang Tianbao's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Xie Lanqin saw his reaction and asked in surprise: "Tian Bao, do you know about this?"
Zhang Tianbao shook his head: "No, I don't know."
"Don't you consider me a family member? Is there something else you're hiding from me?"
When Xie Lanqin saw his guilty look, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"No, I didn't mean that."
Zhang Tianbao suddenly became nervous.
Xie Lanqin looked at him angrily.
"Then why won't you tell me?"
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's mainly because this is a bit magical."
He turned around and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he leaned over and whispered in Xie Lanqin's ear.
"My mother met a master before she died..."
"Master? Tian Bao, you are not lying to me, are you?"
When Xie Lanqin heard this, her eyes widened.
"This is what my mother said herself. The reason why she has so many skills is that a master taught her in her dreams."
Zhang Tianbao quickly grabbed her and told her not to speak loudly.
"My mother told me not to tell anyone about this. You must keep it a secret. Anyway, we have a master protecting us, and life will get better."
Xie Lanqin said nothing.
Although Zhang Tianbao said it as if it were true, she felt it was too outrageous.
How could such a magical thing happen?
As the two were talking, Zhao Chunhua came over carrying a cloth bag.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking so long to finish it? Why are you so slow?"
Seeing the dried meat still outside, Zhao Chunhua glanced at it helplessly.
Xie Lanqin was startled and immediately quickened her pace to cut the dried meat and put it into the pot to cook.
