Chapter 11 Did Su Heng run away with someone?
That trace of pure wood energy entered the dry veins, and Su Heng felt refreshed.
The plants in this world actually have wood energy, so isn't it possible for her supernatural powers to recover?
However, since no mutation has occurred, only some old medicinal herbs can produce some pure essence energy.
Su Heng controlled the absorption of energy from the medicinal field in front of him, and absorbed the energy into his body without affecting their efficacy.
Just like streams flowing into rivers and seas, Su Heng suddenly felt much lighter.
The energy flowed through the tendons and veins and turned into vitality. The exhausted supernatural powers were finally replenished, and the external injuries on the head were also repaired.
Su Heng could feel the affinity of this medicinal field towards herself, so she output some of her special powers to feed back to these Codonopsis pilosula.
That is the purest vitality.
In an instant, all the leaves of Codonopsis pilosula seemed to turn a little greener.
Su Heng narrowed his eyes, then waved the stick and continued digging.
Keep the small ones and sell the big ones.
She was so focused on digging that she didn't realize it was getting late until her stomach started to growl with hunger.
The sun was setting and it was already afternoon.
Su Heng rubbed her sore calves and stuffed the Codonopsis pilosula into the basket.
The bamboo basket was so full that she could hardly lift it.
To prevent others from getting jealous, she also dug some dandelions to cover it.
It's easy to come here, but hard to go back.
This big basket of Codonopsis pilosula is really heavy.
Su Heng gritted her teeth and carried on, but her pace back was inevitably much slower.
I've been out for a day and I don't know if Lu Mingchuan has fed the chickens at home.
Of course he did feed the chickens. Not only that, but he also cooked lunch when he saw Su Heng wasn't back for a long time.
Then the food was almost cold and no one came back.
Afraid that Su Heng would go to the river to look for duck eggs again, he went to the riverside to look for her, but there was no one there.
When he passed by some ladies who went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, he asked if anyone had seen Su Heng.
The result is naturally no.
A gossipy old lady asked, "How could such a big living person disappear? Did Su Heng run away with someone?"
In the countryside, the old ladies love to gossip about which daughter-in-law ran away.
Lu Mingchuan is a cripple, there is no other strong laborer in the family, and Su Heng is so pretty.
Now when I hear that the person was not found, my first reaction is that he ran away because he couldn't bear the hardship.
The old lady was about to say something, but was frightened by Lu Mingchuan's eyes and immediately fell silent.
"She just came back late, she didn't run away."
The gossipy old lady didn't dare to refute. She just mumbled a few words and quickly slipped away.
Lu Mingchuan stood alone at the foot of the mountain for a long time. No one came down, so he didn't go up either.
When he got home, he ate the two bowls of burnt rice and vegetables by himself.
And cleaned the yard.
Sitting in the yard, he stared at the pile of bamboo tubes that were gradually taking shape as finished products for a long time, then looked out the open gate.
Until the sun set, the familiar figure did not appear.
Lu Mingchuan suddenly felt that the yard was a little too deserted.
He stood up and locked the gate.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come back, he can still get a dog, and dogs won’t run away.
Su Heng was exhausted. Finally, she returned to her home as the sun set. She pushed the door, but it didn't open.
What's going on? Why is the door locked?
"Bang, bang, bang!" Su Heng put down the basket and knocked on the door.
"Lu Mingchuan! Open the door!"
"I know you're in there, don't be silent, if you can lock the door, you can open it!"
Su Heng couldn't believe it. Hadn't she just called him a pig that morning? What a vindictive man!
He actually wanted to lock her out!
When Lu Mingchuan heard the knock on the door, he thought he was hallucinating.
Just as Su Heng was about to shout again, he saw the door opened by his men.
"Lu Mingchuan, you're going too far! How can you hold a grudge like that? You're a grown man, yet you want to lock me out!"
As soon as she saw Lu Mingchuan, she couldn't help but complain, but Lu Mingchuan rarely refuted her or said anything sarcastic.
He just looked at Su Heng with that indescribable look.
There was a hint of surprise, and also a sense of joy at having found something he had lost, which he himself hadn't even noticed.
The dark eyes stared at her, Su Heng didn't understand what was going on and was a little confused.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lu Mingchuan just said: "You're back late."
"You can't lock me out even if I come back late! Do we have a curfew at home?"
The three words "our family" made Lu Mingchuan's eyes tremble.
"Come back earlier next time." Then he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I'm starving."
There was no lunch in the mountains. When Su Heng mentioned the basket full of mountain products, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
His eyes sparkled like a little fox that had stolen honey.
"Guess what treasure I found today?"
As she spoke, she walked into the yard and handed the basket to Lu Mingchuan, asking him to feel the weight.
Lu Mingchuan leaned on a crutch with one hand and took the basket with the other.
He underestimated the weight of the bamboo basket because it was covered with dandelions and nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he had amazing arm strength. The veins on his arms bulged at that moment, but he managed to stabilize himself.
"What's this?"
Su Heng went to close the gate and came over to whisper, "It's Codonopsis pilosula. I found a large field of wild Codonopsis pilosula!"
The joy of the harvest was finally shared with someone, and she couldn't help but chatter.
"There's a large peach orchard in the mountains. We'll have free peaches next month! There's also a huge beehive full of wild honey. We have to find a way to get it back!"
Lu Mingchuan just listened to her quietly.
"You said I was the chosen one, I'm so lucky, I am worthy of it!"
Lu Mingchuan hummed softly.
Su Heng thought she had misheard. She didn't expect Lu Mingchuan to actually respond to her shameless boasting.
"What did you just say?"
"nothing."
"I heard you. Hey, you think I'm great too, right?"
Lu Mingchuan ignored her, took the basket of Codonopsis pilosula to the warehouse, and went to the kitchen to light a fire.
Su Heng was also hungry. Seeing someone offering to help, she scooped some water, washed her face, and then went to cook.
Although she was very tired, she didn't want to eat Lu Mingchuan's dark cuisine.
In the evening, I made two bowls of simple clear soup noodles and a few wild duck eggs, which I fried with green onions.
After being hungry for a whole day, Su Heng even drank up all the noodle soup.
You can't rest after eating. Such a big basket of Codonopsis pilosula cannot be pressed. It has to be washed and dried while it is fresh.
After Lu Mingchuan washed the dishes, he came to help her. In the yard, the two of them took advantage of the last bit of sunset light to wash the Codonopsis pilosula with cold water.
There were several large winnowing baskets and bamboo sieves in the warehouse. Su Heng put them on a stool and barely placed the Codonopsis pilosula on them.
I found a few clean pieces of cloth, wet them and covered them with them, and would come back tomorrow to remove the reed heads.
Su Heng only knew the general preparation method, so in order to avoid mistakes, she decided not to slice it, but to dry it directly and take it to someone who knew about it.
