She used the ginseng she dug in her hometown a long time ago to make tonic pills that can save lives at critical moments.
Today is Saturday. Chen Liwu is short of some medicinal herbs and wants to go up the mountain. Zhou Yanjing didn't let her go up the mountain a few days ago, but now she can go whenever she wants.
But she was still very careful. As she was a pregnant woman, she did not dare to go too far into the mountain.
Knowing where to find the herbs she wanted, she quickly found them all, and unexpectedly discovered a wild Ganoderma lucidum hidden next to a damp tree root, exuding a faint woody aroma.
She squatted down, carefully dug it out with tools, and put it into the cloth bag she carried with her. The air in the mountains and forests is fresh and moist, and water droplets on the leaves occasionally drip, making crisp sounds.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly heard footsteps not far away, mixed with low whispers.
She subconsciously held her breath and quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk, her heart pounding.
The footsteps were getting closer, and she could clearly hear a man's voice, "The boss said that this batch of goods must be shipped out today, and it can't be delayed any longer."
"But the situation has been tense lately, and there are many more patrolmen in the town. How are we going to get through?" Another voice sounded a little anxious.
"What are you afraid of? Just avoid the main road and go around the mountain. No one will find you this way."
Shen Liwu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she realized that she might have mistakenly entered some dangerous situation.
She clenched the cloth bag tightly in her hands, her fingertips trembling slightly. The other party was obviously not a good person, and she was alone and pregnant, so she couldn't fight against him at all.
She didn't dare to act rashly and could only hold her breath and wait for those people to leave. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, until it completely disappeared in the forest. She breathed a sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
She quickly calmed down and carefully returned along the same route, always alert to the movements around her. Not until she emerged from the forest and saw the familiar gate of the family compound did her heart finally settle down.
There was a guard at the gate of the family compound, and it was Xu Hu who took her in when she first arrived at the compound.
When Xu Hu saw Shen Liwu, he immediately smiled and greeted her: "Sister-in-law, you went up the mountain? And you dug so much grass."
"Xu Hu, I met two strange people on the mountain. They said they have a batch of goods to be shipped out. Go tell the chief that they should still be in the mountain, southeast. If it's too late, I'm afraid they've moved away."
Xu Hu was so shocked when he heard this that he immediately ran towards the troops. After running two steps, he stopped again and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Have they found you? Are you injured?"
Shen Liwu smiled slightly and patted the dust off his clothes, "I'm fine, they didn't find me."
Xu Hu looked her up and down, and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she was indeed fine, "Then, I'll go find the chief right away!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the troops, his steps were quick but steady.
Shen Liwu watched him leave, and the tension in his heart eased a little. She looked down at the cloth bag in her hand, which contained freshly picked herbs and the wild Ganoderma lucidum. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, turned around and walked through the gate of the family compound.
The courtyard was quiet. Shen Liwu passed through the familiar little house and returned to his home.
After closing the door, she put the cloth bag on the table and began to sort the things inside. She placed each herb carefully, and took out the Ganoderma lucidum alone and examined it carefully for a while.
Wash it first and then think about what to make it into! Shen Liwu gently placed the Ganoderma lucidum into the clean water and carefully cleaned the dirt and impurities on the surface. The water flowed down her fingers, reflecting her focused expression. After washing the Ganoderma, she placed it aside on a bamboo sieve to drain the water.
There was a knock on the door before dinner. Shen Liwu opened the door and saw a soldier with red eyes and crying voice saying anxiously:
