Chapter 38 Boss Bear Blocks the Road
It is said that he has a strong sense of revenge, because no matter who on the team has offended his family, he will find ways to take revenge.
His revenge is to steal people's edible things, no matter if it's grain or fruit. As long as you have offended him, it is 100% certain that it will be stolen.
When he was caught by his master, they felt that he was stupid and pitiful, so they just sent him back and scolded his family to vent their anger.
Zhou Yiding nodded, "If you mess with a guy like him, he has plenty of time to waste with you. Unless you kill him, it's better to let him steal once to vent his anger."
"Pah~" Zhou Huaian spat, "If it really is him, then you can only consider yourself unlucky."
"Where are you going?" Zhou Yiding looked at the two of them.
The sun was scorching, and the three of them couldn't find a place to kill time. Xu Erchun said, "It's so hot, what are you doing standing here like an idiot? Let's go play cards."
Zhou Huaian remembered that Yang Chunyan said she wanted to go cut half of the flowers. He hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, he heard Zhou Yiding say, "Let's go. We'll run fast. We haven't been here for a long time."
"Let's go, let's go!" Xu Erchun excitedly embraced the two of them and walked away.

Yang Chunyan crossed the stone bridge, knocked on the grass a few times with a bamboo pole, and then picked up a sickle to start cutting.
White juice oozed from the severed stem, and the palm of the hand holding half of the flower felt sticky.
She put down a handful and continued, thinking that she should take advantage of the sunny weather in the next two days to quickly cut the fruits, clean them, cut them and dry them in the sun, and the selling price should be higher.
People who work all year round are very efficient at their work. They can harvest a large area just by listening to the sound of reaping.
Yang Chunyan took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her neck and forehead, and put the cut half of the flower into the basket on her back.
Hemiptera can be harvested twice a year, the first crop in the summer when it grows most luxuriantly, and the second crop before the frost in autumn. It likes to grow in a humid environment.
Yang Chunyan thought that the pond at the entrance of the new house would be a good place to plant some flowers. She would go back and select some sturdy planting poles, and those that survived could be transplanted next year.
After putting the harvested crops into the backpack, she pulled the basket forward, bent down and continued harvesting. When she finished harvesting all the crops on the shore, the basket was full.
Only then did Yang Chunyan carry her basket and walk towards the clumps of mugwort on the other side of the river.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the uncut mugwort has grown to a height of one meter.
As soon as I approached, I could smell a faint scent of mugwort.
There are also a few ice powder trees growing next to the mugwort, which have already bloomed small blue flowers that look like morning glories.
Its fruit is a bit like a lantern fruit. When the shell turns yellow and mature, you can peel it open to find a round fruit inside. If you pinch it gently, the real fruit will scatter flat brown seeds as big as rapeseed.
This is the wild ice powder seed.
Glyphosate is not used these days, and there are many kinds of wild herbs and weeds. In another 20 to 30 years, a large number of wild herbs and weeds will disappear from the fields.
Yang Chunyan bent down and cut a handful of mugwort. The leaves of real mugwort are in the shape of cracked feathers. The color of the quilt is light gray, with gray spider-like hairs, and the leaves are relatively thick.
Gently tear the mugwort leaves and a lot of fluff will appear on the torn leaves. Put the mugwort leaves in your hands and rub them gently, you will smell a mint-like aroma.
The whole plant of wormwood is used as medicine, which has the effects of warming the meridians, removing dampness, dispelling cold, stopping bleeding, reducing inflammation, relieving asthma, relieving cough, stabilizing pregnancy, and resisting allergies. After drying it, it can also be used to smoke mosquitoes, soak feet, and make wormwood sticks...
I haven’t finished harvesting the mugwort yet, but I saw a lot of lotus seeds. Unfortunately, my basket can’t hold them all, so I can only harvest them next time.
Yang Chunyan felt that the mountains these days were like a treasure trove. Many herbs that could not be found later could be seen everywhere along the fields and roadsides.
I thought that since not many people use pesticides now, I should take the time to collect as many herbal seeds as possible, and after I divide the family property, I will scatter them on the wasteland I have reclaimed.
Yang Chunyan cut all the clumps of mugwort, picked them up and put them in the backpack, untied the hemp rope tied to the basket, tied the mugwort, carried the basket on her back and walked back.
She walked up the slope panting, and when she looked up, she saw Big Bear standing in front of her pulling the chicken bus, looking at her gloomily.
A good dog doesn't block the road, but if this dog blocks the road, something bad must be happening!
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and walked to the side with her basket on her back.
The old bear parked the chicken bus across the road, blocking her in front of him, and said unhappily, "Youngest Zhou, when you asked us to write a receipt that day, did you already know that there was bezoar in the cow's stomach?"
Yang Chunyan pulled the basket straps on her shoulders, looked at the villagers working in the rice fields down the slope in front, and looked at Boss Xiong calmly:
"Uncle Xiong came to our house yesterday to ask about the bezoar. I have already told him that my family has never seen bezoar. Why are you blocking us here again today to ask? Besides, you took several hundred yuan from my family, shouldn't you write a receipt?"
Boss Xiong raised his voice and said, "You are a barefoot doctor. You must know what a cow with bezoars looks like. That's why you stopped us and asked us to write a note. You were afraid that we would find out that you found bezoars and cause trouble for your family."
Yang Chunyan looked at him with contempt, "Why are you here to cause trouble for my family? Didn't you force that dead cow to be planted on my Huai'an? Didn't you force me, an old man, to buy it for four or five hundred yuan?"
She stepped forward and said loudly, "You, the Xiong family, extorted four hundred and fifty from my family for a diseased cow, and you still think it's not enough? You started to spread rumors that my family found bezoar. How can there be such a shameless family like you in the world?"
The villagers working at the bottom of the slope had already noticed the two people arguing on the slope, and they all stopped what they were doing...
"Aren't those Boss Xiong and the youngest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family? What are they arguing about on the hill?"
"I heard from Zhou Laoyao's wife that Boss Xiong spread rumors that they found bezoars and called his family shameless!"
"Do you think the Zhou family has found the bezoar?"
"Who knows? It's their luck that they found it!"
Boss Xiong didn't expect Yang Chunyan to scold him, and he said sarcastically: "I didn't ask, and I didn't say that you really found bezoar, why are you so guilty?"
Yang Chunyan said righteously: "Why should I feel guilty? Don't say that my family has never seen bezoar. Even if we have, it has nothing to do with your Xiong family! Do you think that just because your youngest son became a militia company commander, you can be the king of the Funiu Brigade?"
"You..." Xiong Dahai was choked by her and couldn't respond.
Yang Chunyan looked at him coldly, "Get out of the way!"
Xiong Dahai saw that all the villagers were standing there looking up, and some were walking towards this side. He hesitated for a moment, then pulled the chicken bus aside and made way.
Yang Chunyan pulled the straps and strode over.
Not long after walking, they saw Zhou Huaian, Zhou Yiding and two others running towards them, panting and holding sticks.
As soon as Zhou Huaian saw Yang Chunyan, he said, "I heard that Boss Xiong's son of a bitch is trying to stop you from leaving?"
"After a few arguments, he gave way." Yang Chunyan said and left.
