One Hundred and Forty-Nine People in the Grass (First Month 15+)

Shen Jiao couldn't be happier when she saw these sturdy wormwood. Although wormwood is a weed, like the dog's tail grass, it is not amazing in appearance, but it is really a wonderful herb.

Detoxification, repelling insects, warding off evil, eating, etc., have many functions, just like immortal grass, it is much more useful than those beautiful flowers of purple and red. Her Chen family has always used Ai for health care.

Eat mugwort in spring, smoke mugwort in summer, or use mugwort leaves to make soup for bathing. The sachets hanging on children are all sun-dried mugwort leaves. As long as the grandfather in the previous life felt unwell, he would ask the doctor at home to give it to him. He was burned with moxa, and ordered a few sticks of moxa. After the burn, he felt better, his food tasted better, and he was no longer sick.

"The sun has been good these few days, and the leaves of mugwort can be dried in just two or three days. Sister Xinghua, let's cut more." Shen Jiao bent down and started cutting.

Ma Xinghua was unwilling to be left behind, she moved very fast, and she cut a large piece with a few strokes, and the basket was full.

"Let's pile it here first, and then we will go back to the sun later." Ma Xinghua suggested.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to make mugwort after drying, but it's a pity that tender mugwort leaves can't be eaten for a few days. These mugwort leaves are too old to be eaten as mugwort cakes." Shen Jiao felt a little regretful.

In the early spring, she picked a lot of fresh mugwort leaves and mixed them with rice flour to make mugwort cakes. Although the materials were limited, Shen Jiaxing and the others said they were delicious. The fragrance of mugwort leaves made simple rice noodles delicious.

Ma Xinghua smiled and said, "Is it the green pancakes you gave me last time? It's really delicious, fragrant and glutinous, but the rice noodles are delicious even with dog's tail grass!"

Shen Jiao choked back in annoyance: "Then you will cut a bunch of dog's tail grass, I will give you another pot of rice noodles, you can go back and make dumplings to eat!"

"whee!"

Ma Xinghua giggled a few times and continued to cut the mugwort leaves. A wasp buzzed over. Ma Xinghua hurriedly picked up a mugwort leaf to drive away the wasp, and kept calling 'go go'.

The wasp probably didn't like the smell of mugwort leaves, so it flew back buzzing and got into a tree. Shen Jiao looked closely, and there was a huge beehive in the tree.

"Sister Xinghua, there is a big beehive!" Shen Jiao dragged Ma Xinghua to look.

Ma Xinghua's saliva flowed down: "Oh, it's really big, I'm afraid there will be two kilograms of honey, if we can get it down, we can still eat bee pupae, which is delicious."

Although Shen Jiao was also greedy, she was even more afraid of being stung by a bee, so she hurriedly said, "This is a hornet's nest, you can be calm and be careful not to be stabbed in the head by a hornet."

"I know, but I just said that I don't dare to mess with wasps."

Even though she said that, the desire in Ma Xinghua's eyes was clearly revealed, she slapped her mouth a few times, and Shen Jiao could even hear the grunting in her throat, she couldn't help laughing.

But he also sympathizes with Ma Xinghua. After all, it is famine and trouble. If you can eat meat every day and you can eat enough food, how can Ma Xinghua and the children outside be so eager for these wild foods!

Just like herself, if she hadn't experienced the suffering of hunger, she would still be the eldest young lady of the Shen family who never tires of her food!

How can she eat these rough meals!

It was almost evening, and the setting sun was gradually going down. Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also cut a lot of wormwood and piled it up on the ground to form a small hill.

"Sister Xinghua, let's cut here today, let's get these mugwort leaves back first." Shen Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood under the slope.

The wormwood on this slope made them both cut a large area, and it was empty at once, and Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua also unknowingly approached the grass below.

Those sinister eyes stared upwards without blinking, secretly delighted in their hearts, it really didn't take much effort!

He met all the two beautiful girls, and he was also singled out. Isn't that God helping him, Sun Maodan!

It turned out that the man hiding in the grass was actually Sun Maodan,

He was sleeping in the grass, when he was woken up by the voices of Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, and he had a bad thought in his heart.

When Sun Maodan was about to get out of the grass, there were several bleating sounds from above, which made him hurriedly shrink back.

The person who came over was Shi Guangshan, a sheep herder. When he saw Shen Jiao and Ma Xinghua, he smiled and said, "Why don't you two girls go back? It's getting dark."

"I'll be back soon, Grandpa Shi, please slow down!"

In front of Ma Xinghua, Shen Jiao did not hide her acquaintance with Shi Guangshan. Needless to say, the Ma family was on the same path as her!

"I'll wait for you to go together!" Shi Guangshan was still a little worried, after all, they were two beautiful girls.

Ma Xinghua carried a basket of mugwort leaves and was about to leave when she suddenly patted her forehead and said angrily, "Oh, why did I forget about the firewood, Mr. Shi, Jiaojiao, you go back first, and I'll pick up the bundle of firewood."

Shi Guangshan was worried, but Ma Xinghua didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong? I can go back to Houshan with my eyes closed. I've been here at night before, so don't worry, I'll be fine in a while."

Ma Xinghua insisted, but Shi Guangshan didn't insist any more, mainly because he didn't think there would be an accident.

The other is that he has to drive the sheep back to the shed as soon as possible, or wait until it gets dark, and if the sheep get lost, he will be charged with one more charge of destroying collective property!

"Then I and Jiaojiao will leave first, so hurry up too!"

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm bold!" Ma Xinghua didn't care, and picked up the firewood without stopping.

Shen Jiao didn't care too much, anyway, she would come later, so it wouldn't take much time.

Shi Guangshan and Shen Jiao drifted further apart, and soon the sheep's bleating was no longer audible, and Sun Maodan spat regretfully, mother, the little girl let her escape, such a fresh and beautiful little girl tasted beautiful. Extremely.

Forget it, Ma family girl is not bad, it is the best time to eat, he must eat well!

Who asked Ma Changan to report him, Ma Changan, you are the first year of junior high school, and I will be the fifteenth, and you have ruined your daughter, see what face you Ma Changan has to go out!

Shen Jiao and Shi Guangshan separated at the slope, so as not to be seen, the children on the hillside also returned home. Quietly, Shi Guangshan walked very fast, waving the whip constantly, and quickly went to the barn.

None of the people on the farm have yet to leave work. The farm has been very busy recently, and everyone has been delayed in leaving work. They can only go home when it is dark.

Shen Jiao threw the wormwood in the basket to the ground, and then carried the empty basket to the mountain again. Ma Xinghua had to carry firewood and wormwood, so one person would definitely not be able to carry it all.

At this time, the semi-circular moon has already hung in the sky, faint, corresponding to the fiery red sunset by the mountain.

"Sister Xinghua, where have you been?"

Shen Jiao rushed to the slope but found no trace of Ma Xinghua. The ground was a mess, the firewood was scattered on the ground, and the wormwood that had been neatly lined was also messed up.

Her heart sank, and without even thinking, she pulled out the dagger and looked around vigilantly.
