The little ancestor of the family

Watching the tiger run away, Ye Xinran put the backpack on again and started looking for herbs.

She remembered that she had come across this plant by chance when she went to cut vines last night, so she followed the same route she had taken yesterday to look for it.

Milu Mountain is between Yunbian Village and Donggou Village. Because the area is shrouded in fog and there are ferocious beasts on the mountain, few people come here.

However, in the past six months, most of the edible things in the surrounding mountains have been found, so villagers from both sides have come here to look for food.

When Ye Xinran climbed to the middle of the mountain, she saw two women coming down the mountain, with a basket half filled with wild vegetables and a yellow lump.

"Liangzi's mother, what is this in your basket? Is it edible?"

"I don't know either. I'm going to go back and find someone to take a look."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Although they didn't know what it was, Ye Xinran knew that what was in their baskets was Pueraria root as soon as she saw it.

Not only is it edible, it also has medicinal effects.

But Ye Xinran didn't say anything. She looked away, avoiding the two people and continued walking up the mountain.

Walking to yesterday's trap, she finally saw the Ice Spirit Flower she was looking for.

The stamens of the three ice spirit flowers were still filled with crystal water droplets, swaying slightly in the wind.

Ye Xinran thought she had discovered the base camp of the Ice Spirit Flower and immediately looked around.

But after turning around twice, he only found these three ice spirit flowers on this piece of land.

Ye Xinran sighed slightly in disappointment.

However, although it is a little less, three flowers can produce two bottles of Snow Face Cream. Scars of this degree will not heal completely, but they can be half healed.

It’s better to have it than not to have it.

Moreover, the appearance of these flowers also proves that ice spirit flowers existed in this era.

Once she breeds the Ice Spirit Flower, she will be able to produce endless Snow Face Cream. This is such a good thing, she can sell one bottle for ten taels of silver, and one hundred bottles will be over a thousand taels.

“I’ve made a fortune!”

Ye Xinran's heart was pounding.

If she had money, she could buy all kinds of clothes, jewelry, cakes, and a few shops, lie at home and collect rent, and live a life like a salted fish...

While having a sweet dream, Ye Xinran was suddenly interrupted by a shout.

She looked at the basket in her hand and realized that her family couldn't even afford meat, let alone open a shop.

The road is made step by step, and money is earned bit by bit. She has to find a way to fill her family's stomach first.

The scream came from the front. Ye Xinran took two steps forward and found a middle-aged scholar lying in the trap where Changsheng had lay yesterday, screaming and groaning.

This trap is for hunters, right?

Why don’t we see any animals falling in, but we find people at the bottom of the pit every day?

Ye Xinran got out of the bushes and shouted to the people below: "Hey, do you need help?"

The middle-aged scholar didn't expect that there was someone in the mountain. When he saw Ye Xinran, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Yes, yes, yes, please help me up, young lady."

"Two taels of silver." Ye Xinran said.

"What?" He thought he had heard it wrong and asked again.

"I said, I can pull you up, but it will cost you two taels of silver." Ye Xinran said.

She had done a lot of helping others in the first half of her life, but that was when she was well off. Now the scholar's clothes were obviously made of fine materials. It was a fair price to ask him to spend two taels of silver and pull him out of the pit herself.

"Sure." The scholar answered straightforwardly, "Pull me up and go home with me to get it, and I will give you ten taels."

"No!" Ye Xinran refused, "What if you cheat me if I go back with you? Let's pay the money and save people at the same time."

The scholar touched his waist and felt a little embarrassed. "It's not that Wei wants to default on his debt, but my wallet was stolen in the mountains just now, and now I have no money."

Adhering to the principle of safety first, Ye Xinran had no choice but to say, "Then you can use the hairpin on your head."

Although the hairpin on the scholar's head was simple in style, it was made of pure white jade and was obviously a good item.

Wei Jingzhi went into the mountains to look for medicine, but he didn't find it. As soon as he entered the mountain, he was bitten by a poisonous snake. When he stumbled down the mountain, he accidentally fell into a trap.

Now his mind was a little dazed and he could only place all his hopes on the young lady in front of him.

"Okay, not to mention the jade hairpin, you can take everything I have with you. I only ask you to pull me up and send me to a nearby clinic. I was bitten by a poisonous snake. If I delay, my life will be in danger."

"Deal!" Ye Xinran agreed.

It seems that this trip was not in vain. The scholar's clothes should be worth 2 taels of silver.

It just so happened that the vine that pulled up Changsheng yesterday was still there. Ye Xinran let the vine down and let the scholar wrap around her body. Then, she pulled the scholar up again using the same method as yesterday.

The scholar felt exhausted all over, and this activity caused the poison in his body to spread faster. By the time he climbed up, he was already at the end of his strength. He saw that the young lady who saved him had half of her face destroyed, and she fainted the next moment.

Ye Xinran pinched his pulse and saw that the snake venom in his body was about to enter his heart.

She immediately took out the antidote serum from the space and injected it into the scholar.

"You are lucky to have met me. If it were someone else, even if they sent you to a nearby clinic, they would not be able to save your life. So it is only right that you pay me more."

As he was speaking, the medicine had been injected. To ensure safety, Ye Xinran took two more pills of Riri'an and fed them to him.

After waiting for a while, the scholar still didn't wake up, so Ye Xinran had to take action herself and pull out the hairpin on his head.

"This is the reward you promised me, so it doesn't count as something I stole."

After pulling out the hairpin, Ye Xinran checked it again and took off the jade pendant from his waist.

Seeing that he had nothing valuable on him, Ye Xinran thought for a moment and took off his coat.

The dress was soft in texture and the embroidery on it was delicate. Changsheng happened to not have a decent gown, so he could take it back and have it altered so that he could wear it.

After taking off the clothes, Ye Xinran took a fancy to the scholar's shoes. The shoes were made of exquisite materials and with a cushion, Changsheng should be able to wear them.

But thinking that it would be difficult for the scholar to get down the mountain without shoes when he woke up, Ye Xinran showed mercy and let go of the shoes.

She stood up, looked at the scholar with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, and said apologetically: "I just promised to take you to the clinic, but I, a woman, can't drag you. However, I helped you detoxify, which is considered to be an over-fulfillment of my promise, so I will take the reward.

You'd better wake up soon, otherwise if you encounter a wild beast, I won't be able to take care of you anymore."

After saying that, Ye Xinran walked away to pick her Ice Spirit Flowers.
