Chapter 75 Every child has his own little treasure box
That night, He Chunxiu made braised rabbit meat and the family had a delicious meal.
Since the tiger bones and tortoise shells were all available, Zhao Zhilan planned to take Baoya and Yun Chenglu to the town the next day to find Doctor Sun from Yaoxiantang.
The main thing to do this time when we go to town is to prepare medicine for He Chunxiu, so there is no need for too many people. Chenglu is older, so he can go with her and take Baoya with him.
The next morning, Xiaodouzi, who came to help transport the goods, finished loading the goods and, as usual, took the snacks that Boss Zhu made for the children.
After sending Xiaodouzi away, Zhao Zhilan took Yun Chenglu and Baoya to harness the family's donkey cart.
In the past, Yun Chenglu was the most active in going to the town to play.
But this time, the boy got up early, but stayed in the house writing big characters. It was Zhao Zhilan who dragged him out.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren got in the car together. Zhao Zhilan drove the donkey with a small whip and set off.
Seeing that Yun Chenglu still looked depressed, Xiao Baoya stretched out her little hand and poked his bulging cheeks.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
“Hey~”
Yun Chenglu sighed like a little adult, "Baoya, you said, I only learned a few words in one day, but there are so many words. How long will it take me to learn them all?"
Baoya saw his serious look and patted him with her little hand: "Don't worry, second brother. Think about it, if you learn ten words a day, then you can learn a hundred in ten days!"
"A month has thirty days, which is three hundred words. And then there's another four months until the Chinese New Year, which is over one thousand two hundred words. That's a lot!"
Yun Chenglu stared at Baoya in surprise. How did she calculate such a large number?
Zhao Zhilan, who was standing next to him, was also puzzled: "Baoya, where did you learn arithmetic?"
"Um……"
Baoya tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Last night, I dreamed of a strange grass. It had round leaves, red stems, and white flowers. It also bore purple fruit, just like... just like the wild grapes my second brother and I picked in the mountains before."
"I picked some and ate them in my dream, and then I found that I seemed to be able to do arithmetic."
What she was talking about was actually a magical herb recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", called Gangcao. It is said that eating it will make people smarter.
Because of the previous incident with the ear mouse, it was not that difficult for Zhao Zhilan to accept it. She just felt that Baoya was becoming more and more amazing.
Baoya is smart and precocious. Zhao Zhilan has long known that she is different from other children. Seeing that she is so good at arithmetic today, she began to plan that after a while, after Chunxiu's leg is cured and a new house is built at home, she will send the children in the family to study at the private school.
While she was thinking about it, Baoya took out a few small purple round beads from her pocket, which looked like wild grapes.
Baoya gave one small bead to Zhao Zhilan and Yun Chenglu, saying, "Give it to grandma and second brother. Eat it and you will become smarter."
She grabbed a big handful in her dream, and everyone in the family should have a share.
"Good! Our Baoya is so good, it's really thoughtful."
Zhao Zhilan didn't think it would be of any use to an old lady like her to eat it, but since Baoya was thinking about them, she just treated it as candy and was very happy.
However, even if Baoya didn't give these small fruits to them, she didn't think it was a big deal. Originally, their Yun family relied on the blessing of little Baoya to get better and better. She was not a greedy person and just wanted to treat this little girl well.
Yun Chenglu swallowed it in one gulp. After finishing, he asked, "Baoya, do you think that if I eat the fruit of this magical grass, I can memorize twenty words in a day?"
Baoya smiled and nodded: "Of course!"
They soon arrived in the town and parked the donkey cart in front of the entrance of Yaoxian Hall. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren got off the cart together and stepped into the threshold of Yaoxian Hall.
As soon as Baoya entered the door, she saw Sun Pu and Rong He, one old and one young, sitting behind the counter. They seemed to be picking medicinal herbs.
Rong He heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Bao Ya and the others. A smile immediately broke out on his round little face.
"Baoya! Grandma, Second Brother Yun, you're here!"
Baoya released Yun Chenglu's hand and ran over: "Brother Rong! Grandpa Sun! We've gathered all the herbs for Mom!"
Zhao Zhilan placed the cloth bag containing tiger bones and tortoise shells on the counter and spread it out.
Sun Pu put down the herbs in his hand and came over to take a look.
As he looked at them, he praised them: "Not bad, not bad. They are all fresh and very good as medicine."
He turned the large tortoise shell over and slowly polished it with his hands. "This tortoise shell is obviously old. The lines are clear and the plates are large. It's of high quality!"
"Well, can this be used as medicine?" Zhao Zhilan only cared about this question.
Xiao Baoya also came over to watch.
"Of course," Sun Pu said happily, "We have enough herbs. I'll prepare the medicine for you right away."
"Thank you, Grandpa Sun!" This way, my mother's leg can be cured, Baoya responded to him in a crisp voice.
Sun Pu went to the back to prepare medicine and arranged for a little medicine boy from Yaoxiantang to serve hot tea and fruit to Zhao Zhilan and the others so that they could take a short rest.
Rong He finally saw his little playmate again, so of course he wanted to drag Bao Ya to play with him.
However, considering that Rong He asked her to identify medicinal herbs last time, Bao Ya kept shaking her head when she saw Rong He pulling her to the backyard again.
"Brother Rong, I really can't remember the medicinal ingredients."
Rong He looked at her fair and tender face, which was full of rejection, and laughed: "Why are you panicking? I won't drag you to identify the herbs."
"Then why did you take me there?"
"Let me show you my little treasure box." Rong He said mysteriously.
The two little ones happily went to Rong He's small room here.
Yun Chenglu was angry and helpless when he saw that his sister was seduced away by Rong He again with just a few words.
Why is it that Jingzhen, Ronghe, and even that weird adult Nanxuan all like to play with his sister?
Rong He's room is decorated simply and elegantly, with a wooden bed, a desk, and a bookshelf. There are two pots of orchids on the table, and the desk and bookshelf are filled with various books about medicine.
Baoya is a polite child. When she enters the room, she stands obediently by the desk and does not walk around or move around.
Rong He lifted the bed curtain and took out a small wooden box from some corner, then put it on the desk.
He called Baoya and said, "Baoya, come and see, there are many fun things in my little treasure box!"
"Let me see!"
After hearing his greeting, Baoya came over.
When Rong He opened the small wooden box, Bao Ya saw that it was full of things.
Rong He flipped his wrist and poured everything in the wooden box onto the table.
He said generously, "Look at what you like. I allow you to pick one... no, pick two to take away!"
Baoya stretched out her little hands and rummaged through the pile of things.
There were all kinds of things, such as a small horse and a spinning top carved out of wood, a small wooden sword the size of a palm, dried fruit cores that I couldn't name, and a whistle made from ground bones.
Baoya looked at it for a while and took out a black object from it.
He asked Rong He, "Hey, Brother Rong, what is this?"
Rong He was delighted when he saw it: "This is a gecko, just dried, it can be used as medicine."
Baoya: ...
Her eyes suddenly widened, her face turned pale, and she flicked her little hand, sending the skinny gecko flying three feet high.
