When Jiang Zhi came over, Xiao Man was diligently roasting rabbit meat for several soldiers.
He squatted beside the red charcoal grill, his face burning red.
Seeing Jiang Zhi, Xiao Man wiped his sweat and quickly introduced to everyone: "Brothers, we can live in the mountains only because of my Aunt Jiang's knowledge of medicine.
Now, we are here to deliver medicine to the medical shed. "
Xiang Junhan and others had already heard Xiao Man talk about the deeds of the neighbor's aunt, especially how she used to burn mountains to avoid fire in the dark.
When they saw me at this time, they were also curious, and everyone said hello no matter how old they were.
"Aunt Jiang!"
"Sister-in-law Jiang!"
.........a random shouting!
Jiang Zhi was at a loss when he was shouted at, and was a little happy.
Fortunately for me, I have become a grandma in this era. Aunts who work as nurses are of a gender-neutral species everywhere, and there is no need to blush when entering the men's room.
At this time, when facing these soldiers, we don’t have to worry about the differences between men and women. We can be shameless and have no inhibitions: "Ahaha, hello, brother and nephew!"
It was also a random return of greetings, and everyone recognized their seniority.
You can't change your age, so this advantage will be in vain if you don't take advantage of it.
After some pleasantries, Jiang Zhi told Xiaoman to come back late and not to run around and cause trouble.
Xiao Man repeatedly agreed: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will stay here in the medical shed and won't leave anywhere."
Jiang Zhi was still uneasy and said to the military man named Xiang next to him: "Brother, I want to help Medical Officer Xu prepare medicine. I have to go back late. I am afraid that Xiao Man will conflict with others here, so I will trouble you to look after me."
The medical shed is really boring, and the gossip skills of these wounded soldiers are not bad either. Everyone knows about the refugees going up the mountain some time ago.
What's more, Xiaoman also talked about that night in detail and was asking for advice on how to practice skills to protect his home.
Now hearing Jiang Zhi's request, several soldiers laughed: "Sister-in-law Jiang, just go and do your work. Just come and call for help when you leave."
They also had itchy hands and passed the time by giving random instructions to Xiaoman.
The dozen or so pairs of straw sandals that Xiaoman brought were very good, and they were divided among several handymen. However, they were given a brand new thick quilt instead of money.
A dozen pairs of straw sandals can be sold for up to a hundred cents. Normally you can't buy a quilt, let alone now.
But judging from the intentions of these handymen, this bright red satin quilt was "picked up".
When it was picked up and how it was picked up, one cannot ask in detail.
It was almost afternoon, and Xu Errui, who had agreed to take his mother home, also set off.
Halfway up the mountain, he still didn't see anyone. Instead, he met several refugees picking red seeds to satisfy their hunger, including Li Laoshi, whom he had met before.
How come the refugees in Xujia Village are so far away?
Xu Errui had a knife on his waist and an empty basket on his back, watching these people warily.
No, I have to tell Sister-in-law Chunfeng and Qiaoyun quickly, asking them to be on guard against someone taking action.
But just when he was considering whether to go down the mountain to pick up his mother or go back and tell his family, he was stopped by someone: "Hey! Brother, where are you going? Go back and look after your home!"
"Go back? Look after the house?" Xu Errui stared at the two "refugees" picking red seeds.
"Go back, no need to go down the mountain!"
…………………………
In the medical shed, after six hours of frying, a pot of loquat leaf paste finally began to finish.
Jiang Zhi skillfully stirred the thick juice with a copper spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pan and coking. He cooked it until it was thick and thick. Then he dropped a small amount on the straw paper and the juice condensed on the paper surface without penetrating.
"Medical Officer Xu, it's okay!" Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
The most difficult part of boiling the ointment is concentrating it in the end. It takes several hours of hard work. Once the heat is not controlled well, not only will the day be wasted, but a pot of valuable medicinal materials will also be wasted.
Xu Dong looked at the thick juice on the papyrus paper and nodded with satisfaction: "The ointment is ready. It seems that Sister-in-law Jiang can indeed make medicine!"
This ointment refining skill alone is enough to make a living, and every drug store needs skilled hands.
"Can Medical Officer Xu lend me a loan? I'm leaving now!" Jiang Zhi didn't have time to chat with him and directly proposed a deal.
Seeing that time was running out, it would still take a few hours for him to go back to the mountain. Er Rui must have been on the way to pick him up. Now that more refugees had gathered in the village, nothing could happen.
"Okay, I'll give you everything you want. Are you going to make plasters?" Xu Dong asked.
Jiang Zhi thought that the medicine he made was still in the trial stage, so he could only be careless: "There is no medicine on the mountain, and it can't be made into a paste. Just like today, I can only boil some loquat leaf water."
Having received medicine three times, Xu Dong could roughly guess how many medicinal materials could be produced on the mountain. It was not enough to prepare a better medicine prescription, so he could only grind some medicine powder.
If he could trade a spare pair of clothes for snake skin, he wouldn't say much!
Jiang Zhi got the common tools in the pharmacy and hurried to find Xiao Man and go home.
Outside the medical shed, Xiaoman was pumping his fists and kicking legs energetically amidst cheers.
Xiang Dejin said cheerfully: "This kid is a soldier."
The person next to me also said, "Yeah, I didn't even feel tired after jumping around all day. Others don't have the physical strength."
After completing the pose, Xiao Man was sweating profusely even in his single shirt. He turned around and said, "Brother Xiang, have I learned these eight poses?"
Xiang Dejin said: "Barely qualified, but your strength is not good enough, you still need to practice to get familiar with it."
Seeing that there were so many people here, Jiang Zhi didn't want to call out "big brothers and nephews" again, so he asked the handyman to call Xiao Man.
"Xiaoman, let's go back quickly!"
Xiaoman was reluctant to leave these soldiers, but he also knew that he needed to go home.
When the two people's belongings were put into the backpack, they suddenly stood out.
Jiangzhi's place was a little better. He didn't bring a guillotine, only an iron roller and a small gun that he put in his pocket.
There were quilts and grain bags in Xiaoman's backpack, which looked really eye-catching.
Several wounded soldiers came over, looked at the backpacks of the two men and said, "Xiao Man, are your things heavy? Is it okay to leave?"
Jiang Zhi was not polite. When he saw them coming, he immediately said: "It's not heavy, but can you please give us a ride? As long as we leave the village!"
When she entered the village, she saw an increase in the number of refugees. The things Xiaoman brought included meat and rabbits. They couldn't even cover them in Xujia Village, which was as big as a palm, so people had already spread the news.
Now these refugees are short of food and clothing. Once they know that someone can still sell rabbits, they will naturally have evil thoughts in their hearts.
At this time, sending someone out of the way can act as a deterrent.
Xiang Dejin was a wounded soldier. His arms and legs were injured and he could walk. Seeing that Xiaoman needed help, several wounded soldiers who were about to go out for a walk came out.
Walking out of the medical shed, Jiang Zhi immediately felt a few glares.
She suddenly turned back to look for it, but she missed it again. The refugees lowered their heads and were busy making their own meals.
Several guards also saw this scene and immediately shouted sharply: "Whoever dares to cause trouble will be subject to military law and get out of the village!"
The refugees did not dare to move and could only watch as Jiang Zhi and Xiao Man followed a few wounded soldiers into the forest.
Beside the shack, the bearded man stared at the retreating figures of Jiang Zhi and his group and whispered: "Someone is following, what should I do? That kid brought pheasants and rabbits today."
When he mentioned the little boy, he gritted his teeth. The wound on his head was healed, but the grudge was still unresolved.
