C7 Don't Even Think about Stealing My Medicine

Madam Qian was shocked. She realized Soong Qiu'er was a monster that she picked up. She braced herself and pointed at Soong Qiu'er. Ah Mu wanted to protect Soong Qiu'er, but was stopped by Soong Qiu'er.

Although she couldn't make a move, Madam Qian still scolded her for her satisfaction. After much difficulty, she finally let out a long sigh of relief and said disdainfully, "Get out of here now. I'm going to make lunch."

Soong Qiu'er forcefully suppressed her anger and dragged Ah Mu away from the kitchen. She had nowhere to vent her anger on, so she went back to the small firewood house and climbed onto the roof to take the half-dried herbs, neatly divided them into bundles, and put them in a small cloth bag. Then, she picked up another small cloth and put it on her waist, wanting to go out.

Ah Mu was in a daze as he helped Soong Qiu'er. He stopped her when he saw that she wanted to go. His face was stubborn as he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Collect medicinal herbs from the mountain." Soong Qiu'er's mood improved when she saw how he cared about her. "If you want to come with me, then come with me so that you can help me carry some heavy and cumbersome items."

The two of them went out one after the other. Soong Bao'er saw them and frowned, but she did not stop them. She quietly followed them and saw that they had arrived at the back of the mountain.

Ah Mu was keenly aware that there was someone behind him, but he didn't tell Soong Qiu'er about it. Only after they were up the mountain did he hesitantly pat Soong Qiu'er on the shoulder. "Qiu'er, someone saw us coming up the mountain together."

After a moment of thought, Soong Qiu'er realized that it could only be Soong Bao'er. She wasn't afraid of Soong Bao'er complaining, but rather that the fact that she knew something about medical treatment would lead to unnecessary trouble.

In the past few days, the weather gradually became dry. Soong Qiu'er found the traces left behind a few days ago, found some new medicinal plants that had grown out, pinched them off carefully, and once again searched for them on the mountain. After it became clear, she discovered that many rare medicinal plants had sharpened and became even more excited.

Soong Qiu'er walked up the hill and saw a few rotten trees in front. The soil underneath was slightly moist, and there seemed to be some yellow and brown fungi scattered all around. Her eyes lit up as she ran over.

Squatting down to take a look, Soong Qiu'er saw that there were a few stalks of Ganoderma lucidum growing on the ground, and they looked extremely good; the actual stalks were slightly shorter, and the bacterial cap was thicker, appearing in an irregular shape. Soong Qiu'er gave a cursory glance, and according to her past life's experience, these stalks of Ganoderma lucidum lucidum were at least thirty years old.

Soong Qiu'er carefully picked them up and took out the rest of the herbs in the cloth. Then, she slowly put the lingzhi into the cloth and adjusted its position with her hands to prevent it from being crushed. Then, she picked up the rest of the herbs.

Ah Mu took some herbs and watched Soong Qiu'er do these things curiously with his wet eyes. She obviously had a pair of amorous phoenix eyes, but after it became clear, no one dared to look directly at her.

They descended the mountain together, and at the foot of the mountain, smoke was already rising in spirals, filling the air with the smell of smoke and fire. Soong Qiu'er bought two more oil cakes, and the two of them slowly nibbled on them as they walked back to Soong Family.

Thinking about Soong Bao'er, Soong Qiu'er wanted to jump into the backyard, but Madam Qian and Soong Bao'er seemed to have expected it, so they stood outside the village gate and waited. When Madam Qian saw Soong Qiu'er, she immediately came up to her with a face full of enthusiasm and hypocrisy, "Oh, Sofia is back, quickly, we're all waiting for you to eat."

Without waiting for Soong Qiu'er to reject them, Madam Qian and Soong Bao'er brought Soong Qiu'er back to the Soong Family half-forcibly. Ah Mu stepped through the front door and the back door was slammed shut by Soong Bao'er. Madam Qian leaned on Soong Qiu'er with a greedy look on her face. "Sofia, what are you carrying in your arms?"

"It's just some hay. Aunt, do you want to use it as a blanket?" Soong Qiu'er hugged the herbs tightly, blocking the small cloth beneath her. "Could it be that Aunt is also so poor?"

She walked over and took a few stalks, but she was still uncultured and could not identify what they were. She then threw the herbs to the side and spat on the ground, "Pui, I thought they were rare species, so they are just like you."

Hearing this, Soong Qiu'er laughed in her heart, but she did not refute him. She only put on a frightened expression and gathered the herbs even tighter. "Aunt, I'm really too hungry. That's why I'm plucking these weeds to satisfy my hunger."

"Enough, enough, it's bad luck to see you here. Quickly carry these dejected things into your dog nest, don't hinder my view."

Just as Madam Qian finished speaking, Soong Qiu'er nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice. She pulled Ah Mu into the woodshed, but was stopped by Soong Bao'er. With a vigilant face, she picked up a herb and sniffed it: "What's this smell? It's all wet. It doesn't seem right to say it's just a cushion, right?"

Unexpectedly, Soong Bao'er was smart. Soong Qiu'er thought for a moment before taking back the herb in her hand. She lowered her eyes and explained, "The smell is just a normal smell of earth. My sister might have caught a whiff of it. I want to dry it and put it under the mattress so it's warmer in winter. "

Hearing this explanation, Soong Bao'er wanted to continue asking questions, but Madam Qian's face was filled with impatience as she pulled her back. "This little girl has never studied since she was young. What do she know? Let's go eat some pastries and eat some snacks."

The two of them left one after the other. Soong Qiu'er let out a long sigh and opened the door to the wooden house. The room reeked of mildew and was not suitable for living.

She touched the Lingzhi in her pocket again and looked at the herbs that were stacked around her. She didn't know how much money she could sell it for, but if she could save up the price of a small store, then she would move out with Ah Mu as soon as possible.
