My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

After breakfast, Huaying called Fu Shiyan and went to the back mountain with a small bamboo basket on her back. There were not many pepper seeds at home, so she went to see if there were any sprouted pepper seedlings at the place where she found the peppers last time, and to pick up some firewood by the way.

Coming to the back mountain, Huaying carefully searched along the location where she found the peppers last time, and sure enough, she found some green pepper seedlings. She happily dug them out carefully and put them in a bamboo basket.

Seeing that it was still early, Huaying walked towards the depths of the back mountain, hoping to find some different mountain products. The climate in the back mountain was similar to that in the dense forest, just as humid, but the bamboo here was not as dense as that in the dense forest.

Huaying looked around and saw that it was quiet except for her own breathing and footsteps. From time to time, the sound of crows could be heard from the bamboo forest. It seemed that there was a reason why the villagers did not dare to come to the back mountain. This scene was a must-see in horror movies.

As a modern person, Huaying's curiosity outweighs his fear. Maybe there are precious medicinal herbs and delicious mountain products in the mountains.

Huaying adjusted the shoulder straps of the backpack and picked up a wooden stick to carry herself. She was not afraid of small insects or anything like that, but she just hoped not to encounter that sinister snake again.

In the deep forest behind the mountain, there are indeed large fungus and mushrooms that are not found in the dense forest, as well as unknown flowers, plants and trees of various colors...

Huaying happily thought of bringing Dongxue over next time. That girl would definitely be happier than her. After staying with her for a long time, Dongxue had also become a little money-grubber. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As they picked herbs along the way, Huaying stood with her hands on her hips next to clusters of unknown flowers and plants. These must be medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, she only recognized ginseng leaves and didn't recognize other herbs.

Never mind. Since we are here, we can just pick a few of each and carry them to Tongxin Hall for them to identify and take a look at Xiao Shi Nuan at the same time.

They did what they said, and soon the small bamboo basket was filled. Huaying picked up some firewood and went home. After walking out of the back mountain and onto the path leading to the village, Huaying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the back mountain was not as scary as the legend said.

"Fu Shiyan, have you turned the soil? Look what I found." Fu Shiyan came out of the room and saw Huaying happily holding some seedlings and showing them off to him.

"Do you know the pepper seedlings? Come on, let's plant them quickly." Huaying, with a smile in her eyes, gestured to Fu Shiyan to take the small shovel.

Fu Shiyan smiled and shook his head. This little girl was as rash as her sister.

"Sister Huaying?" Dongxue called Huaying a few times in the front yard. Huaying, who was busy planting vegetable seedlings, quickly responded to her.

Dongxue came to the backyard upon hearing the sound, and discovered that a large piece of land between the house and the peach orchard had been utilized, and a row of neatly planted seedlings were planted on the newly turned land.

"Sister Huaying, what is this and what are those things covering it?" Dongxue asked, pointing to the piece of land covered with wet cloth.

"Those are cultivated pepper seeds, and these are pepper seedlings. Without peppers, many foods will lack soul." Huaying said while adding soil.

"Oh, then let's plant more. Peppers are delicious, haha." Huaying was amused by Dongxue's greedy look.

"Sister Huaying, I miss Shi Nuan. When will she come home?" Dongxue asked with a frown.

Huaying glanced at Fu Shiyan and paused for a moment, "Shi Nuan will be back in a few days, then you two can play again."

At this moment, Shi Nuan from Tongxin Hall was drying herbs and sneezed a few times.

The senior brother next to her asked hurriedly, "Junior sister, are you okay?" Shi Nuan rubbed her nose and shook her head.

"You go and rest over there, I'll do this work." Medicine boy Qingshan likes the new junior sister very much. The master said that as the eldest brother, he should not only learn skills well, but also take good care of his junior sister.

"Thank you, senior brother. It's okay. You need to memorize forty medicinal herbs today, and I have only memorized thirty. I can't be lazy." Xiao Shinuan said seriously.

"You are already very good. It is difficult for ordinary people to recognize ten herbs a day. The master is not urging you, so you should take a rest." This little sister is smart and clever. She is so eager to learn right after she starts. She will definitely be an excellent doctor like the master in the future.

"Got it, Brother." Shi Nuan smiled at her brother and buried her head in sorting the dried herbs.

Shi Nuan recalled the day when she and her brother came to Tongxin Hall and asked her if she was willing to study medicine.

She originally wanted to learn business from Sister Huaying so that she could be with her brother and make money at the same time, but her brother said that making money was his business and that she should learn some skills to support herself at her age.

Shi Nuan remembered what her mother often said to her when she was alive, "It is good to have many skills. The more you know, the less panic you will have when things happen. Life is so long that you can't rely on your mother for the rest of your life."

Thinking of her mother, tears welled up in Shi Nuan's eyes again. In the past, she was always playing around and didn't study housework well, which made her mother angry. Now, no one scolds her anymore.

"Brother, can medical skills kill people?" She looked up and asked her second brother.

"If you want to learn how to kill people, then don't learn it." The brother stared at her and said coldly.

How could Fu Shiyan not know what his little sister was thinking? She was still so young and shouldn't bear all this hatred, let alone involve her in this smokeless war.

"I study medicine to save those who should be saved and kill those who should be killed. If brother doesn't agree, Shi Nuan won't study. When I grow up, I will still avenge my parents. Second brother... Shi Nuan's surname is also Fu." She stood straight and looked at her second brother with tears in her eyes.

Seeing the stubborn look on his little sister's face, Fu Shiyan felt a lump in his throat. He squatted down and touched her hair and said, "Brother wants you to study medicine because he hopes you can protect yourself. I and my elder brother will take care of the revenge. If one day my elder brother needs you, the eldest lady of the Fu family, to take action, my second brother will definitely ask you for help, okay?"

"Okay." Shi Nuan smiled and nodded obediently, tears falling on the back of Fu Shiyan's hand.

"Brother Fu, there is enough water here, no need to water it anymore." Dong Xue's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Fu Shiyan nodded and poured the water into another vegetable patch without leaving any trace.
