Chapter 86 Li Anan

On the surface, Xu Mingwei is quite close to Qian Yue. They even went to wash clothes together yesterday.

She muttered a few words while washing clothes.

Cai Shuyuan was born smart and passed the imperial examination early. The Cai family must have hidden silver. The village school would definitely need a teacher in the future, so Cai Shuyuan's good days were coming.

Anyway, Cai Shuyuan was praised to great heights in various ways.

Most people cannot tell the true face of the kid from the Cai family. He usually appears to be a gentle and elegant scholar, and except for his physical weakness, he has no problems.

Qian Yue was very young when she got married, and she is only 20 now. Cai Shuyuan should be 20 this year, right? Anyway, it's about the same.

If two such well-matched people come together...

Xu Mingwei felt that he would probably laugh even in his dreams.

It's not satisfying to kill the enemy with a slap. She prefers to see the enemy's dreams shattered and suffering day and night.

It must be interesting.

"Xiao Wan, why don't I understand what you said just now?"

"That's right, you don't understand."

Jiang Wan acted like a little adult and said earnestly, "It's not good for you to know too much."

After saying this, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Are we still going to the beach? It's fun at the beach."

"I'm not going. I've got everything I needed. It's time to go to the mountains. If you want to go to the beach, you can take your maid with you. The villagers are very kind. You can ask them if there's anything you don't know."

When Qin Yue heard that Jiang Wan was not going, she immediately stated that she would not go either.

"It's fun in the mountains. I'll go with you."

To be honest, the mountain was a place Qin Yue was familiar with. She was already a little impatient.

The two returned to Jiang Wan's home.

They had only been away for about an hour when the foundation of the courtyard wall was built, surrounding the small stone house, and the courtyard had already taken shape.

Jiang Wan was very happy. After soaking the clams and spitting out the sand, she went to look for her mother.

Unfortunately, her mother was busy making medicine and had no time to pay attention to her. She only gave her two small bags.

"This is for repelling ants and clearing miasma. You'll need it when you go up the mountain. This is a pill for detoxifying and clearing away heat. If anything happens, don't try to be brave. Take medicine when you need to, and get off the mountain when you need to."

"I know, mother, you still think I'm a child."

Jiang Wan kissed his mother affectionately, tied the bag around his body, and turned to look for a backpack.

This scene really made Qin Yue envious.

She hadn't been this close to her mother for a long time. Her mother always told her to be dignified and learn from the rich and powerful.

But Jiang Wan’s family was a wealthy family in the past, and they were not like what A-niang said.

This is how a mother and daughter should be affectionate.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go to the mountains. Do you still want to go?"

"Yes, yes! Of course!"

Qin Yue grabbed the backpack from Jiang Wan's back.

"Let me recite this. I haven't recited it in a long time. I miss it."

Jiang Wan: “…”

She is truly a unique young lady from an official family.

The two of them quickly climbed up the mountain. Jiang Wan found a small patch of mugwort and was trying hard to pull out the leaves.

As long as the mugwort roots remain, it will continue to grow.

There is a lot of mugwort on the mountain, and her main purpose today is also this mugwort.

My mother had a foot injury and couldn't go up the mountain. She was worried about not bringing back the herbs from the mountain every day. She was very anxious. As a daughter, I had to help my mother relieve her worries.

"Xiao Wan, what are you going to do with all these leaves when you get home? Feed the chickens and ducks?"

"Of course not. These are mugwort, a very good herb. It can dispel colds and relieve pain, and it can also treat menstrual irregularities. There are so many uses, I can't remember them all."

The little wormwood at home was dried and made into moxibustion by my mother. Now most of it is used on Uncle Yong's father. It is almost used up, so we have to replenish it quickly.

That's why she came up the mountain.

Although she didn't remember many medicinal herbs, she would never make a mistake in picking common herbs like mugwort even with her eyes closed.

"I'll help you pick it up!"

After Qin Yue joined, a small patch of mugwort was quickly picked clean. The two continued to explore the mountain and soon found a large clump of mint.

The two little girls were searching the mountain like industrious bees. They were so focused that they didn't notice there was a little tail following them.

After more than an hour, Jiang Wan and Qin Yue had filled the entire backpack.

In addition to the common wormwood and mint leaves, she also picked some patchouli and the blood-seeing sorrow that her mother had shown her last time. In addition, she was lucky enough to come across a yellow-skinned fruit tree.

Now is the season when kumquats are ripe. Bunches of kumquats hang on the trees like grapes.

They found the tree on the edge of the mountainside. It was full of fruits, many of which had been eaten by birds, but some were well preserved hidden in the branches.

Jiang Wan relied on her light weight and climbed up the tree in a few steps. She stepped on the thin branches and picked the fruits in one go. She had picked almost all the intact kumquats on the tree.

Now the backpack was completely full and the two of them prepared to go home.

"Xiao Wan, this fruit is so delicious, sour and sweet with so much juice!"

The two of them didn't have time to go back for lunch. Seeing so many yellow-skinned fruits, Qin Yue ate them one by one, and her eyes narrowed as she ate.

Jiang Wan also tasted a few, some were sour and sweet, some were too sweet. It was still the same taste as in the previous life, delicious.

My family has been busy recently and I haven't asked what fruits are available on the island. My mother hasn't eaten fruit for a long time, so she will definitely be happy if I take these yellow-skinned fruits back.

People still have to eat sweet things. Eating a few fruits will make you feel better.

"Xiao Wan, you guys are having so much fun here. I don't even want to leave."

"That won't work. You promised your father. If you don't keep your word, you won't be able to come out next time."

Qin Yue's face fell.

That was true, so she could only play for a short while before going home.

"Sister Qin, I just noticed that the wounds on your hands haven't healed yet. Let's go to my mother's place and get some medicine. She made it herself, and it's very effective."

"Great, great~"

Qin Yue responded while sighing how nice it was to have a mother who was a doctor.

After the two of them slowly walked down the mountain, a figure quietly jumped down from the tree.

"There is a doctor down the mountain..."

A flash of surprise flashed across the little girl's eyes. After checking that there was no one around, she immediately ran back up the mountain.

I thought I had successfully concealed my departure from the mountain today, but as soon as I entered the house, I was caught by my uncle.

"Li Anan! You are so brave that you sneaked down the mountain again!"
