After Ning Xiyue returned to the Youth League Home, she went back to the kitchen to tinker with medicine.
A lot of medicines for hunting in the wild, such as hemostatic medicine, antidote, and drug for animals, are made.
Considering that it was a matter of life and death, the medicines Ning Xiyue gave them all had a score of over 90, and the effects were extremely good.
At the appointed time, the captain came to get the medicine. Ning Xiyue explained the use of each medicine one by one, especially took out a large bag of sleeping pills and handed it to the captain, emphasizing on it.
"Captain, this drug is the best. You must bring it with you when you go hunting. If you encounter large prey like wild boars and can't defeat them, sprinkle a handful on them. The animals will sniff it and fall down in a matter of moments."
The captain was so happy to hear this that his wrinkles burst out laughing. He looked at the drug again and again:
"This medicine is great. With it, we don't have to worry about not being able to hunt large prey. Yue girl, if we really catch a big prey like a wild boar, I will definitely give you a big share."
"Then I'll be waiting for your triumphant return." Ning Xiyue smiled sincerely and pointed to another packet of soybean-sized pills. "This contains the antidote to the drug. To avoid being drugged yourself, you can take one first."
Ning Xiyue handed the cloth bag containing medicine to the captain.
"Okay, I got it, Yuewazi. Wait for your uncle Dawei to come back with the prey." The captain took all the medicine and left with a satisfied smile on his face.
Ning Xiyue watched the captain leave happily, and she really hoped that the captain would come back with a lot of prey and a big one, so that the team could celebrate the New Year happily.
She had already decided what to do with the thigh meat the captain had promised her.
At six o'clock the next morning, when Ning Xiyue was still sleeping soundly in bed, a team of hunters organized by the team leader, armed with hunting rifles and other tools, carrying enough dry food for three days and the medicine made by Ning Xiyue, walked towards the white mountains without hesitation.
They would not return until they had hunted enough prey, or had finished three days' worth of dry food.
In the morning, Ning Xiyue was still sitting with the female comrades in the Youth League Institute knitting scarves. After finishing her eldest brother's scarf, she was now knitting one for her parents at home.
Wang Mengmeng and Liu Yao slowly knitted a scarf with the wool they had received from Chen Yetu.
Wu Guifang was still making her clothes, and Chen Yetu was also knitting sweaters.
A few people chatted from time to time, and the quietness was comfortable, which made the atmosphere in the room very good.
But the peaceful and quiet environment in the Youth League Institute was soon broken.
Perhaps half of the strong men in the team followed the captain into the mountains, leaving their wives and children at home, always worried that the head of the family would never come back or that something unexpected would happen.
They also learned that Ning Xiyue provided some medicine to the hunting team, or because of her identity as a barefoot doctor, many aunts flocked to the Youth League Home to chat with Ning Xiyue, have fun, and seek comfort.
For a moment, the deserted Youth League Institute became lively.
Aunt Yang Liu was mending clothes with her hands and speaking worriedly.
"Yue girl, when do you think your uncle Dawei and the others will be back? I don't expect them to catch any big prey, I just hope they return safely. Ugh, it's really tiring to have to worry about this every year."
Aunt Qian rubbed the hemp rope and sighed.
"Who says it's not true? When my two sons heard about going hunting in the mountains, they were more excited than anyone else. They both insisted on going, and I couldn't stop them, leaving me, an old mother, at home worried."
"Wild boars and other big beasts are willing to eat people. Oh, I can't even think about it."
Other aunts also spoke worriedly.
Although such a large-scale hunting activity takes place every winter, the aunts still have to worry just as much.
What could Ning Xiyue do after hearing these words? She could only try to say some comforting words.
"Don't worry, aunties! The drugs I brought are specifically for large beasts. If they encounter large prey, it will only bring bad luck to the prey. I hope all the uncles, brothers, and sisters will be able to return with their prey safely."
To be honest, she is still very confident in her medicine. Except for uncontrollable factors, these medicines can definitely ensure their safe return. Whether they can return with a full load depends on whether they are lucky enough to encounter prey.
"Xiyue, after you said that, I'm not so worried anymore."
Aunt Yang Liu, as a Ning Xiyue fanatic, believed Ning Xiyue's words the most. She had a smile on her face and felt relaxed in her heart. The worry on her face disappeared and she comforted others.
The captain's hunting team went into the mountains for three days, and Aunt Yang Liu brought this group of aunts to the Youth League Institute to chat with Ning Xiyue for three days.
It seems that they think that gathering together to work and chat at the Youth League Home can make them feel at ease and stop them from having wild thoughts.
This allowed other people in the educated youth compound to become familiar with the aunts and get along very well with them.
By the afternoon of the third day, Ning Xiyue clearly felt that the aunts sitting here were restless, unfocused, and had a slightly impatient look on their faces. Some of them kept looking outside the door.
As time went on, the aunts became more restless and couldn't sit still.
Just like students a few hours before vacation or office workers half an hour before getting off work on Friday, they are anxiously waiting for time to come.
Ning Xiyue knew that this was because the time for the captain to return home from hunting was getting closer. Three days passed in the blink of an eye and it was the most nerve-wracking moment. She was anxiously waiting for her family to return.
Aunt Zhang, who was a bit impatient, stood up and walked to the door to look at the Daqi Mountain behind the Youth League compound. Seeing nothing, she walked back in and paced back and forth in the room restlessly:
"Why haven't your uncle and the others returned yet? I only brought them three days' worth of dry food, and they should have finished it by now."
