"You're such a worry! You should get some rest now. It's the middle of the night, I need to rest too."
As Shen Xiaochuan spoke, he turned around and couldn't help but let out a big yawn.
"Goodnight, brother!" Shen Xiaoxiao waved gently with a sweet smile on her face, watching Shen Xiaochuan leave the room.
After he left, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly closed the door, but her smile vanished instantly, replaced by anger and dissatisfaction.
She stormed to the bedside and punched the blanket a few times, as if to vent all her resentment.
Afterwards, Shen Xiaoxiao lay down on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
"Ugh, this is so annoying! What a mess! Can't I just have a few days of peace and quiet?"
"There's such a complicated plot! Humph! If you piss me off, this old lady will definitely not let it go and will be at odds with all this mess!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she tossed and turned on the bed for a long time.
After a while, perhaps tired from all the commotion, Shen Xiaoxiao's emotions gradually calmed down, and she finally drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, far away in the capital, Dai Xingyun was immersed in a strange dream.
In his dream, he was clad in armor, majestic and awe-inspiring, and had become a great general in ancient times.
Not only that, he also married his childhood sweetheart, with whom he had grown up and shared a deep affection.
After their marriage, the couple treated each other with respect and affection, spending an incredibly happy and fulfilling time together.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Due to the tense situation at the border, Dai Xingyun had no choice but to be ordered to go on the expedition.
Who could have imagined that this departure would be their last?
On the battlefield, swords clashed and battle cries shook the heavens; in the end, Dai Xingyun tragically died on the battlefield.
When his wife saw his cold body, she was devastated and, without hesitation, threw herself against the wall, following him in death…
Dai Xingyun suddenly woke up from his nightmare, drenched in sweat, panting heavily, his heart still pounding from the scene in his dream.
Even though I had woken up, the excruciating pain still lingered in my mind and was difficult to dispel.
Why do I keep having the same nightmare lately? Who is the woman in my dream? Why is she causing me so much emotional torment?
Dai Xingyun scratched his head in frustration, his brows furrowed, lost in deep thought.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into Chen's small room.
She got up early as usual, stretched, and then got busy.
Stepping into the kitchen, she skillfully lit the fire, washed and chopped the vegetables, and then cooked up a series of delicious dishes.
After breakfast, Shen Xiaoxiao collected the clothes that the family had changed out of and put them in a basin to wash them carefully.
After washing the clothes, she rested for a while, then picked up her bamboo basket and went up the mountain to collect herbs.
Every day, Shen Xiaochuan and Shen Zishan, a married couple, went to work, repeating the same tasks.
Inside the space, all sorts of medicinal herbs were piled up as high as small mountains.
It contains not only common medicinal herbs, but also many valuable and precious varieties.
Among them are several ginseng plants that have grown for over a hundred years.
Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Before dawn that day, Shen Zishan walked in from outside, carrying several bags full of herbs. He carefully placed them on the car and tied them securely with rope.
After everything was ready, he went to the bedside and whispered to his wife, Ma Aning, who was still asleep, "Honey, I'm leaving now to sell medicine. Get up and close the door."
Ma Aning was awakened by her husband's voice. She rubbed her eyes and asked groggily, "Why are you going out so early?"
Shen Zishan explained to Ma Aning with gentle and patient eyes, "The weather is getting warmer every day, and it gets light faster and faster."
"If we don't set off early and wait until it's broad daylight before leaving the house, and someone happens to see us, that would be troublesome!"
After hearing her husband's words, Ma Aning was still a little worried. She quickly said, "Brother Shan, you have to be very careful on your journey! Why don't we wake Xiao Chuan up and have him come with you? That way, you can look out for each other, right?"
Shen Zishan smiled slightly and shook his head gently in response, "No need, I'm perfectly fine on my own. Let our Xiao Chuan sleep a little longer."
“These past few days, he's been busy working during the day and hunting in the mountains at night. It's really tough for him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zishan turned around and walked straight out the door with firm steps.
Watching her husband's receding figure, Ma Aning couldn't help but add, "Brother Shan, walk slowly on the road! If you really can't make it back to work in time, don't worry, I'll ask the team leader for a morning off for you. Don't rush!"
Hearing his wife's caring words, Shen Zishan didn't turn around but simply replied, "I know, wife! I'll walk slowly. You should lock the door tightly and go back to get some more sleep."
After saying that, Shen Zishan put the flashlight on his head and pushed the car with both hands, embarking on the road to town.
Once the person had walked away, Ma Aning closed the door and went back inside to continue sleeping.
It took Shen Zishan nearly an hour to reach the town, just as dawn was breaking.
I pushed the car to the biggest pharmacy in town and knocked three times gently on the side door.
Less than two minutes later, the door creaked open.
"Brother Shen, you've arrived quite early today!" Li Xiangqian greeted the figure at the door with a broad smile.
Shen Zishan responded with a bright smile, "Good morning, Dr. Li! Let's push these herbs in first."
As he spoke, he began to push the cart loaded with medicinal herbs into the shop.
"Yes, yes, come in quickly. Look at me, I'm actually standing at the door chatting with you."
Li Xiangqian slapped his forehead, quickly stepped forward, and swiftly opened the door completely, turning his body to the side to leave a sufficiently wide passage.
After Shen Zishan successfully pushed the medicinal herbs into the shop, Li Xiangqian eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Shen, what kind of herbs did you bring today?"
You see, his shop's herbal medicine stock was almost empty, so seeing this new batch of goods, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of excitement.
