Chapter 14 Little Surprise
Yi Chichi looked down at the confused little girl in his arms. She was indeed a little small.
Just then, the team leader and his men came over, carrying Dun Dun, who was crying and sobbing.
Seeing the snot hanging from her eldest grandson's nose, Aunt Niu was so angry that she slapped him twice on his buttocks.
"I've told you so many times that Shuipaozi can't come here, why is he so disobedient?"
"Catch fish and eat meat."
The little brat answered while wiping his tears and choking.
The little girl looked very aggrieved.
Niu Niu and the others also started talking about wanting to eat meat.
The captain and the others' faces darkened, not because they were angry, but because they felt powerless.
That deep feeling of powerlessness lingered between their brows, making Yi Chichi feel a little heavy.
Children in later generations have grown up with abundant material resources, but children nowadays have to risk going to dangerous places like Shuipaozi if they want to eat some meat.
As a result, he not only didn't get to eat the meat, but was also beaten.
The children are in pain, and the elders like the team leader are not much better.
They don't think their children are greedy, they just feel useless.
If they were more capable and useful, even if they couldn't get their children to eat meat every day, it would be good to eat it every few days.
His eyes fell on the faces of the team leader and the others. Yi Chichi saw them turning their heads and looking towards Shuipaozi and the forest to the southwest of Shuipaozi.
The mountains and forests are arranged in an orderly manner, one next to the other.
The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and with the arrival of late autumn, there is a gorgeous scenery of colorful forests.
The faint green, mixed with the red, yellow, purple and other colors all over the mountains, forms a colorful scene that fills the vision.
As beautiful as a painting.
Seeing the captain and the others' gaze, Yi Chichi knew that the autumn hunt should be put on the agenda.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to his mind, the captain sighed and touched Dun Dun's little head with his big hand.
"Wait, wait for grandpa to lead the team to collect public grain, and then organize people to go hunting in the mountains when he comes back."
As soon as these words were spoken, the children and Bai Chen's eyes lit up.
Aunt Ma and the others looked gloomy.
Little Niuniu clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Eat meat!"
"Yes, we have meat to eat when we come back from hunting."
Let's take this trip so that the children can have more meat.
"It's better not to go to the mountains. Just catch some fish in the water."
Aunt Ma tried to dissuade him, but Zhou Zhou refused and shouted in his hoarse voice, "Meat is delicious, we want big pieces of meat."
"I know, I know, eat big meat."
The captain made the final decision, and Aunt Ma and the others were hesitant to speak.
Yi Chichi felt that their attitude was a bit strange and they didn't look happy.
On the way back, I couldn't help but ask, "Is it dangerous to go hunting in the mountains?"
"Danger."
Aunt Niu sighed, "Our mountain is connected to Karen Mountain. In the mountain, there are not only small wild animals such as snow rabbits, foxes, silly roe deer, flying dragons, but also large wild animals such as tigers, wolves, jackals, wild boars, blind bears, etc."
"We don't actually like hunting because hunting means casualties."
Aunt Ma continued, "You just came here not long ago, so you don't know. Wang Nan and the others know. They go hunting every year and won't stop until they kill a few people."
Yi Chichi looked at Wang Nan and the others, and several of them nodded when they noticed her gaze.
It means that it is true.
"Uncle Yaozi doesn't know how to make medicine?"
As long as the medicine is well made, it can drive away wild beasts and buy time for yourself to survive in dangerous moments.
When her uncle went to the countryside, he relied on his unique skills in making medicine to eat meat every now and then, and he could also send some money home.
It's a much more comfortable life than what my dad and his family live in the city.
"Little Yaozi can't do it, but old Yaozi can."
Unfortunately, Lao Yaozi passed away a few years ago.
Speaking of Lao Yaozi, Aunt Ma looked regretful, "When Lao Yaozi was here, the captain and his men rarely had any accidents while hunting, and there was never any death."
"Little medicine boy..."
Sighing, she shook her head, "He has mastered the art of collecting and preparing medicinal materials, but he has only learned the basics of making medicines to cure diseases and save lives."
No matter what disease they had, when they went to him, he would either give them pills from above or give them some grass roots and leaves and let them go home and boil water to drink.
If it can be cured, go to the commune, county or city.
Yi Chichi, "..."
My goodness, she always thought that Uncle Yaozi was a good doctor. After all, the quality of the medicinal materials he prepared was really good.
The processing of medicinal materials is also very good.
After all the fuss, he only learned how to collect herbs and prepare them, but he didn't know anything else.
No wonder when she took the prescription to get the medicine that day, he took a look at the prescription and prescribed the medicine for her without giving a second thought.
It turns out that I didn’t understand.
This could be an opportunity for her.
Thinking about the vast expanses of farmland she would need to reclaim and plant after the thaw next year, she narrowed her eyes and approached the captain and asked, "Uncle, when are you planning to go into the mountains to hunt?"
"What? You want to go?"
Liu Chengqi turned his head and looked at her with sharp eyes.
Yi Chichi, "...Can I go?"
To be honest, I'm a little moved!
"cannot!"
He refused bluntly, "Going into the mountains is not fun. It takes at least seven or eight days, and at most ten days or half a month to come back. Not only will you freeze to death, but it's also dangerous."
As he spoke, he glanced at her with a look of disdain.
Yi Chichi realized that he was dissatisfied with her thin arms and legs.
Okay, okay, that's how we want to play, right? ! "I'm not going, but I can give you a little surprise."
"A little surprise?"
The voices were heard in unison, deafening.
She nodded, "Let me know when you've decided on a time, and I'll prepare a surprise for you."
She is not good at curing diseases and saving lives, but she is good at doing unconventional things.
In the original world, the Yi family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, several imperial physicians emerged from the Yi family. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a family of imperial physicians.
The accumulation of hundreds of years is terrifying. The greatest wealth of the Yi family is the piles of medical classics, rare books and ancient prescriptions.
Even if some of those treasures were destroyed during those special years, the remaining ones are still very impressive.
She had been reading those books and prescriptions since she was a child, and had memorized quite a few of them.
Regarding health care, beauty care, poisons, etc., as long as she is not asked to prescribe the right medicine for the right condition, she will do her best by reading from the book.
Just some powder to keep the beasts away, she's very good at it.
The captain was stunned by the sight of her holding her head high and chest out. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the smell of medicine he smelled when he passed by the Youth League Home, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiao Yi, can you treat illnesses?"
"Won't!"
If she had this ability, she would have competed with Uncle Yaozi for the position of team doctor of Kaoshantun Brigade long ago. Although the benefits in all aspects are not as good as those of medical staff in the city, she does not have to work in the fields.
It smells so good.
"Are you sure you won't?"
The captain was skeptical of her words, and looked at her with a scrutinizing look, as if she was a naughty little girl, and advised her earnestly, "Don't hide it if you know it. Xiao Yaozi can't handle it alone."
The implication is: If you know how, you can go to work in the team doctor's office and share some of the burden with Xiao Yaozi.
