In fact, even if she sets up her own business and Su Xiao takes care of two children alone, the hardships and troubles will definitely be inevitable.
But no matter how tiring or hard it is, compared with today's living environment, it is definitely a world between heaven and earth.
Although the Su family where she is now has one of the best houses in the village, none of the people living in this house have any goodwill towards the three of them, mother and son!
A grandmother who only wants to plunder and exploit them, an aunt who only hates her for not dying, and Su Luo, who has a sweet heart and a bitter look, and can tell a harmful plot with just a turn of her eyes...
These are the best relatives, if you can look at them less, the air you breathe will become a little sweeter!
After spending a pleasant day at home with the children, Su Xiao got up early the next day, sent the children to her aunt's house, and went to the cabin refreshed.
"Bamboo Shadow, come and collect the medicine for me!" She pushed open the wood door and entered the yard, and saw Zhuying lazily moving his arms and legs in the yard, as if he was doing morning exercises.
"Hey, Miss Su, why is it so early today!"
Zhuying had just woken up not long ago. He hadn't washed his face, and hadn't even combed his hair, which was matted from sleep. When he heard her greeting him, he quickly raised his hand and ruffled his hair hurriedly.
"Okay, stop digging. The more you dig, the messier it becomes. We are all alone, why are you so indifferent!" Su Xiao walked over with a smile and threw an oil paper bag over.
"Trouble Miss Su again!" Zhuying took the paper bag, which was warm and exuding a burst of aroma. He knew without opening it that it must be the fragrant and soft pancakes again!
"Your master hasn't gotten up yet. You need to eat something to cushion your stomach. Let's collect the medicine while it's cool!"
As soon as Zhuying smelled the aroma of the oil cake, his stomach began to growl non-stop. After listening to Su Xiao's words, he agreed, and couldn't wait to pick up the oil cake and start chewing it.
"Slow down, there are more than ten of them, and no one is trying to snatch them from you!" Su Xiao stood aside and rolled her eyes when she saw him being choked, and was immediately amused by his gesture.
This child is doing well in every aspect, but he is a bit greedy and eats in a hurry, but it is not a big problem. Only when he eats delicious food can he feel better!
Su Xiao looked at the devouring bamboo shadow with an aunt's smile on her face, not realizing how inconsistent it seemed for a teenage girl to make such a "kind" expression.
After Zhu Ying finished eating his portion, the two took their hoes and medicine baskets on their backs, and went to the medicine field to collect the herbal seedlings that had been planted before.
In the past, when Su Xiao was working alone, she had to walk through mountains and rivers every day, and the soles of her feet were blistered with blood blisters. The herbs she collected were only sparsely planted in two rows.
The achievements of Song Zeyi's capable subordinates were obviously much more brilliant. She and Zhuying were sweating profusely and had backaches, but they had only managed to finish a small part of them.
"Miss Su, you go and have a rest nearby, I will do the rest." Zhuying wiped his sweat and looked at Su Xiao with concern.
"It's okay. I think back then, I was marching alone with a machine gun..." Su Xiao didn't pay attention and just said it.
"What is a 'chicken gun'? A gun with chicken feathers tied on it?" Zhuying threw a piece of ginseng dug out into the bamboo basket and turned his head curiously and asked.
He has only seen long spears tied with red tassels. This "chicken gun" is probably similar to a "pickaxe". Is it a weapon unique to Miss Su and the others here?
"Pfft..." Su Xiao was drinking water. When she heard what he said, she immediately squirted. She accidentally choked on a mouthful of water and immediately started coughing violently while covering her chest.
The feeling of having water choked into the trachea was so sad. Su Xiao held her waist and coughed for a long time before she regained her composure. Her face turned red and she almost burst into tears.
"Miss Su, are you okay?" Zhuying looked over worriedly, "Although the weather is hot now, it's still quite cool in the morning and evening, don't catch a cold!"
At this time, Su Xiao was just panting and speechless. She just waved her hands to the bamboo shadow to indicate that she was fine.
A gun tied with chicken feathers...
Su Xiao tried to imagine a bunch of colorful chicken feathers stuck to the mighty and domineering barrel of a machine gun, and then a bunch of cute chicken feathers exploded from the cold spear...
This is all such a mess, it’s so hilarious, okay?!
Su Xiao calmed herself down while trying to make herself forget the extremely magical scene in her mind.
"Ahem...yeah, that's pretty much it. I've only met him once before." She mumbled something vaguely, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when Zhuying didn't ask any further questions.
It seems that she has really slacked off recently. She even said "machine gun" smoothly. Fortunately, this is Bamboo Shadow. If it were Song Zeyi, she might get into trouble again!
Su Xiao secretly hit her on the head as punishment for not being cautious enough.
Seeing that the good days are coming, she hasn't lived enough yet, especially if she doesn't want to be tied to a fire and burned to death!
When the sun was high in the sky and the temperature began to rise rapidly, Su Xiao and Zhu Ying finally purchased the quantity of medicinal materials to be supplied to Boss Jiang, and sat under the shade of a tree to count them.
"Miss Su, I heard from the master that you have to carry all of this back to the mountains with that weirdo... well, he is an expert. He has replaced it with old medicinal materials. You are alone, so be careful!"
After helping Su Xiao put all the medicinal materials into an extra large basket, Zhuying told Su Xiao slightly uneasily.
"Well, I'll be back soon, tell your master, and I'll leave right now!" Su Xiao smiled and said nothing, carrying the heavy bamboo basket on her back, and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.
She followed the marks she had made before and quickly found the previous "secret base". She placed the backpack on the ground, looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It is surrounded by dense and tall trees on all sides. It is highly confidential and very quiet. When she works here, she will immediately detect any movement outside.
Su Xiao listened for a moment and saw that there was only the sound of wind and insects, so she poured the herbs on the ground and took out the growth potion to ripen the herbs.
Who would have thought that after mixing the potion, she had just taken a step back to sprinkle the water, when suddenly something unexpected happened!
Su Xiao only heard two "hissing" sounds like gas leaking, and then a black and white belt-like object suddenly jumped out like lightning and pounced on her wrist!
The black and white thing came too fast. By the time Su Xiao reacted, she had already been bitten two or three times, and there was a faint tingling sensation on her little finger.
Su Xiao took a closer look and thought to herself, what's the "belt" there? It was clearly a king snake with eyes that was four or five meters long. It was spitting out words ferociously and slowly stood up!
After seeing the snake's appearance clearly, Su Xiao's mind was already a little numb, and it felt so heavy that he would fall to the ground and fall asleep in the next second...
