Chapter 299 Up and Down the Mountain

The village was bustling for a while.

Because of the people who moved in, houses were built one after another.

Jiang Wan still lived the same simple life as before, collecting some coconut oil every day to mix skin care products, and also making some oyster sauce to sell.

The sale of squid shreds has been gradually replaced by fish fillets because the production cannot keep up. However, because the sauce of grilled fish fillets is fragrant, the sales volume is also good.

Many people in the village became rich because of this.

The people below the mountain are thriving, and the people on the mountain are also reaping great rewards.

This time, Li Xiao led the team to go far into the mountains and brought back a lot of prey. He also brought back a lot of rare medicinal herbs.

The most gratifying thing is that no one was missing from the hunting team this time. Three or five people were slightly injured, but no one cared and didn't even use medicine.

Old Ironhead went around the team and collected the damaged ironware. After he had repaired them, he let the tribesmen take them away.

Jiang Cao followed behind her grandfather to help. At first, she felt a little embarrassed in front of so many men, but after seeing more of them and how well-behaved they were in front of her grandfather, she was no longer afraid.

The grandfather and grandson returned to the small building with a lot of iron tools.

The old man did not deal with the ironware immediately. Instead, he stood around his granddaughter, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Grandfather, if you have something to say, just say it. I am dizzy from all the spinning."

Jiang Cao held the half-finished sole, looking helpless.

She had already guessed what her grandfather wanted to say, alas.

It must be a lifelong event.

"You asked me that, so I'll tell you."

Lao Tietou squatted down in front of his granddaughter tentatively.

"Didn't you just go with me to meet those guys in the tribe? Did you catch any of them?"

There aren't so many twists and turns in the clan; many couples ask their family to arrange marriages when they are of marriageable age and fall in love with each other.

Some people also seek help from matchmakers before meeting each other, but this situation is relatively rare.

The old man is anxious.

Jiang Cao was already an older girl, having been married once before. Although he thought his granddaughter was the best girl, outsiders did not see her that way.

He was old, and he might pass away someday. He really wanted to find a good home for his granddaughter in the tribe.

"Those guys are the best hunters in the tribe, and they are all great. Do you have any favorites? Grandfather will help you find one."

Ginger grass: “…”

"I was just busy collecting things and didn't look at it."

When Lao Tietou heard this, he immediately looked regretful.

It is not easy to gather so many strong young men together. This time they gathered together after hunting, and the next time will be half a month later.

"Grandfather...don't worry so much. I haven't even learned the language of my tribe yet. If I really like someone, we can sit together and talk to each other, but no one will understand what's the point."

As Jiang Cao spoke, he seemed to think of that scene and couldn't help laughing.

The old iron man also held back his laughter, and finally went to repair the ironware in a sullen manner.

What my granddaughter said makes sense. I should teach her to speak Li language first.

The life of the grandparents is now warm and peaceful.

Each family in the clan shared the meat, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Only Li Xiao returned to his deserted home alone, without even a sound of another person.

When Anan was here, he would chatter so much that sometimes I thought it was noisy. But now that I'm back and there's no one to talk to, I feel particularly lonely.

There was a thick layer of dust in the house, making it look desolate.

I think Anan must be with her master now. Just thinking about it makes me jealous.

The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more upset he felt. He stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, picked up his share of meat and the herbs he had picked, and hurried down the mountain.

Now he had a niece studying medicine in the pharmacy, so he had a reason to visit her in broad daylight.

It's normal for an uncle to visit his niece.

I came at a good time today, and the gate to the yard was not closed. Standing at the gate, I saw Anan and Baozhu drying herbs in the yard.

"Anan!"

Upon hearing the voice, Anan's eyes lit up and he turned around and ran towards the door.

"Uncle! You haven't been here for a long time! Are you leading a hunting team?"

Li Xiao nodded, his eyes unconsciously looking towards the pharmacy. Anan had no idea what his uncle was thinking, so he whispered, "Master went to the city to treat a patient, and he hasn't come back yet."

Went to the city...

"I will definitely be back before dark. Uncle, please come in and sit for a while."

The road from the tribe to the foot of the mountain is quite long, and you will get tired even if you are in good physical condition.

Anan still felt sorry for his uncle, so he pulled him in first. Baozhu was very considerate and sent him some food and drinks.

The two sisters were drying the herbs while chattering about recent events. The empty space in Li Xiao's heart was slowly filled by half.

Why did he say half? Because the other half was filled when he saw Doctor Yin coming back.

It had been a long time since they last met, and Li Xiao couldn't help but stare at her. Yin Huaixi pretended not to notice, said hello, and went back to the pharmacy.

"Mother, your ears are a little red."

As soon as she entered the pharmacy, Jiang Wan dismantled her mother's table and received a brain bang from her mother as a reward.

"No respect for elders or younger ones."

"Your Excellency is not honest at all..."

Jiang Wan walked out of the pharmacy laughing, and happened to run into Li Xiao coming over. She was a little surprised.

Uncle Anan seems a little courageous today.

Maybe there's something interesting to eat.

Jiang Wan did not walk far, but sat with Anan and the others to sort the medicinal materials, listening attentively to what was happening in the pharmacy.

"Doctor Yin, we went hunting quite far this time and saw a lot of things that looked like medicinal herbs. But my knowledge was limited, so I only dug up the ones I recognized."

Li Xiao knew what the person in front of him liked, so he quickly took out the fresh herbs to show her.

Yin Huaixi was pleasantly surprised. The herbs Li Xiao brought included not only the rare Dendrobium, but also Morinda officinalis, Amomum villosum and other herbs.

They are all rare and effective medicines!

The mountains are truly a treasure.

She was eager to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

"By the way, when we were resting from hunting, I was bored in the habitat and drew some things that looked like herbs with charcoal. See if they can help."

Li Xiao said this as he took out some rags.

This……

This was painted with his clothes.

There was no paper for him to use in the deep mountains and old forests, so he could only use clothes to paint. Anyway, he was always topless in the forest, so it didn't matter whether he wore clothes or not, so he just used them.

He drew the plants bit by bit, and with his talent for painting, the herbs he drew were very lifelike.

You can recognize it at a glance.

The itchy feeling in Yin Huaixi's heart was inexplicably aroused.

This guy looks stupid, but his way of pleasing others is not stupid at all.
