Back to the familiar town.
On his back was half a basket full of precious medicinal herbs that he had painstakingly picked from the mountains.
He was still a little nervous and expectant. If he could successfully exchange these herbs for money, he would be able to improve his current predicament.
Walking into the bustling market, Xia He quickly found a familiar pharmacy.
"Uncle Wang, do you want to collect the burdock seeds?"
It’s strange to say, the pharmacy was originally responsible for curing diseases and saving lives, but it was helpless against the sudden outbreak of blood disease.
The newly opened clinic in the city seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and had a monopoly on the antidote.
But the drugstore is not without business, because blood diseases can lead to various complications, and those who cannot afford to go to the clinic will come to the drugstore to open some houses and go back to delay treatment.
"Collect! How many do you have!"
The owner of the pharmacy was a thin middle-aged man named Wang Xing, who was familiar with Li Huilan's deceased father.
Xia He had already put down the backpack and handed it forward.
"About five taels."
"Well, the quality is pretty good, but the quantity is too small. I want all of them. How about 150 coins for them?"
Xia He thought about it and felt that the price was about what he expected, so he nodded immediately.
"Uncle Wang, I also picked some bamboo mushrooms, about 8 taels, do you want them?"
Wang Xing took a glance and his eyes suddenly lit up!
This is the real good stuff, and the wealthy masters in the city like it the most.
The poor are still naked and seriously ill, but the rich are already thinking about how to eat well.
"How about 8 taels, 180 wen? Anything else?"
"Uncle Wang, these are all freshly picked. 200 coins, please. You see, these two pieces are longer than the length of my palm, so it's not easy to find them."
"You little brat... Considering that your father-in-law and I are old friends, okay, just 200 coins."
Seeing that Xia He's backpack was empty, Wang Xing smiled and said,
"From now on, bring any herbs you collect to me. I will definitely not cheat you."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
After some bargaining, Xia He successfully sold the medicinal materials and walked out of the pharmacy.
In just one day, he earned a considerable income of 350 Wen.
With the heavy copper coins in his arms, Xia He's first thought was to go home and give Li Huilan a surprise.
He first went to the butcher's shop and bought a piece of dried bacon and some rice. When he got home, Li Huilan had indeed been waiting for a long time.
Xia He returned home with a full load, but he carefully closed the door when he got home, then he took out all the copper coins and placed them on the table.
"Brother He, where are you from?"
Li Huilan was not in a hurry to be happy, but showed a look of panic, worried that Xia He had gone to gamble again, or had robbed the money.
Xia He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and consoled her,
"Don't worry, this is what I got when I went to collect herbs."
"I have memorized the book your father left me. I will go to the mountains to collect herbs and exchange them for money. Our lives will get better and better."
After another explanation, Li Huilan finally felt relieved. Seeing the changes Xia He had made, she felt genuinely happy and burst into tears of joy.
"Lan'er, why are you crying?"
"Brother He, I'm fine. I'm happy."
Li Huilan cut half of the bacon she bought and then fetched some water and rice to steam them together.
When Xia He saw the two bowls of fragrant rice in front of him and the greasy bacon on top, he could no longer hold back and started to gobble it up.
After he finished eating, he noticed that Li Huilan had only eaten half of her bowl and then passed it to him.
Xia He suddenly felt distressed and said,
"Lan'er, don't save. I will make more money in the future so that you can live a good life. I promise."
"Well, Brother He, I believe you."
"Eat quickly. If you don't, I will punish you in the evening."
Xia He sat over with a smile, and soon Li Huilan's breathing became rapid and she had to finish her meal.
At night, Li Huilan fell asleep from exhaustion, but Xia He looked clear-headed and looked at the moonlight outside the window.
350 coins a day would be a good amount under normal circumstances, but he did not forget his blood disease.
Although no one knows what the disease is, and there is no sign of the disease occurring in him.
But many people would suddenly suffer from body festering on the seventh day, and their death would be extremely miserable, which made him feel a sense of urgency.
"We have to go into the mountains again tomorrow. It would be best if we could find something better."
But if he wanted to go deeper, he had to have weapons for self-defense. Xia He gradually came up with a plan in his mind and fell asleep while holding Li Huilan.
The next day, Xia He woke up at the crowing of the cock.
Feeling the warmth in his wife's arms, his hand gently stroked across, once again feeling the lovely and thrilling curve in front of him, his heart was burning with heat again.
"Brother He...I can't take it anymore. It hurts..."
Xia He laughed. After all, it was his first time experiencing sex and he couldn't overwork himself.
After letting Li Huilan go, he got up, but did not go out in the morning. Instead, he found a bamboo stick and some obsidian that he had found in the mountains yesterday, and prepared to make a few javelins that could be thrown.
This throwing weapon has been used to hunt large prey in ancient times. It is simple to make and has considerable lethality.
After spending half an hour sharpening the obsidian and tying it to a bamboo stick, Xia He tried it and shot it at the tree in the yard.
After several attempts, the obsidian javelin penetrated two inches into the tree trunk.
[Skill: Javelin Throwing (Beginner)]
[Progress: (99/200)]
[Effect: Throw 300 shots, hit the target every time]
"As expected, I can awaken my skills..."
The surprise in Xia He's eyes could not be hidden.
Li Huilan brought him a bowl of water at this time. Xia He took it and drank it, then he heard Li Huilan worriedly say,
