Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

As for Zhu Xiuqin's first question, the village chief didn't answer. Instead, he stood up with Xiao Fuzi's help. "Tear off whatever parts of their clothes you can, boil some water, and carefully sterilize them. Clean the skin outside the wound."

"Remember, don't let water touch the wound!" he emphasized.

Zhu Xiuqin nodded quickly and immediately called several thoughtful women to come and help.

On the other side, Sun Wan quickly caught up with Su Rongze, and the mother and son searched in the mountains and forests in the rain.

After walking about a mile, Sun Wan was sure that the gang of scoundrels had indeed left.

Su Rongze was an introverted and silent child. Seeing his mother follow him out, his heart was filled with gratitude, but he could only squeeze out a stiff sentence: "Mom, it's not safe at night, you should go back."

Sun Wan, who had been reborn, was already familiar with her eldest son's dull personality. Without saying anything more, she patted his shoulder gently and said firmly, "Let's go. Mother will go with you."

"If we search together, we can find Sanqi faster and rescue Uncle Fu sooner."

Su Rongze pursed his lips and said nothing more, but he kept an eye on Sun Wan and would immediately steady her if she showed any signs of slipping.

A warm feeling surged in Sun Wan's heart.

Perhaps the deep love between mother and son really moved God, and soon they found the eye-catching red fruit at the foot of a mountain.

Sun Wan was overjoyed, and she and Su Rongze quickened their pace to get closer. It was indeed the Sanqi that the village chief had mentioned!

And it’s not just one or two plants, but Panax notoginseng growing in patches!

Sun Wan started picking excitedly, and Su Rongze was busy assisting. Soon they had picked all the Panax notoginseng.

During this period, Sun Wan secretly hid a few plants in the small space she had opened up, and then planted them in the soil near the spiritual spring.

After collecting all the herbs, the two did not dare to delay and quickly returned to the cave along the same route.

As soon as they entered the cave, everyone looked at them with anticipation. When Sun Wan took out the Panax notoginseng, everyone cheered excitedly.

"Sister-in-law Sun, I knew I could rely on you!"

Er Quezi was so excited that he praised repeatedly, but Zhu Xiuqin next to him curled her lips and pushed Er Quezi away: "If you don't want to work, don't get in the way!"

Zhu Xiuqin looked at the pile of Panax notoginseng with a smile, but didn't dare to touch it easily: "Village Chief, but what should I do with this medicine?"

"Wash it, mash half of it and squeeze out the juice, apply it to a clean cloth to bandage the wound; boil the other half into a medicinal soup and drink it." The village chief ordered.

When Sun Wan heard this, the clothes and fabrics she had picked up at the county magistrate's house immediately flashed through her mind.

"A clean cloth? I have one here!"

She handed Sanqi to Zhu Xiuqin, and ran to the back of the cave, pretending to rummage in her luggage, but actually quietly pulled out a large piece of cloth from her secret space.

“Ouch!”

Zhu Xiuqin approached in amazement: "Mrs. Sun, this is the finest silk! I've seen it before in the cloth shop in town. It costs one ounce of silver per piece!"

"Ouch!"

This sentence was like a big stone thrown into a fish pond, arousing everyone's curiosity. They gathered around and stared at the cloth in Sun Wan's hand with wide eyes.

At this time, Su Rongze silently took the Panax notoginseng from Zhu Xiuqin's hand, then turned around and washed it silently and began to boil the medicine juice.

Sun Wan had never imagined that this cloth was so precious. Thinking of how she had just casually pulled it, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She could only laugh bitterly and laugh at herself: "Ah, how could I understand these things? I stole this piece of cloth from the county magistrate's house!"

When everyone heard this, they regretted it deeply: "Why didn't I think of searching the county magistrate's house?"

Upon hearing this annoyed voice, Zhu Xiuqin immediately counterattacked: "Er Quezi, you didn't forget to go to the county magistrate's house. If our village chief hadn't glared at you, I'm afraid you would have forgotten which way the granary door opened!"

"you……"

Erquezi's face turned red after hearing what Zhu Xiuqin said, and he could only shut up unwillingly.

This scene caused everyone to laugh again.

The village chief shook his head and took the white and delicate cloth. He seemed much calmer than the others. After tearing it open with force, he applied the medicine ground by Su Rongze and waved for Su Rongze to come over and take care of it.

In fact, ever since the old village chief assigned Su Rongze to collect herbs, Su Rongze had vaguely sensed something. Now that his guess has come true, he couldn't help but feel flattered, and hurriedly watched the village chief concentrate on treating the wound.

Moreover, the old village chief also taught while operating how to judge the type and degree of injury and the corresponding treatment methods based on the depth and location of the wound.

Su Rongze listened attentively, and the people in the cave gradually quieted down, watching the scene intently.

Zhu Xiuqin started to feel dizzy not long after listening. She rubbed her temples and looked around. Seeing that many people had the same confused expressions as her, she immediately felt much more balanced.

At this time, Zhu Xiuqin poked Xiao Fuzi, who was bored and anxious, and said, "Xiao Fuzi, do you understand what your grandfather is talking about?"

Xiao Fuzi shook her head, her eyes showing even more confusion than Zhu Xiuqin's.

Well, now Zhu Xiuqin completely understood why the village chief didn't teach Xiao Fuzi but taught the eldest brother of the Su family.

Even Sun Wan felt a little dizzy after listening for a while, and couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to learn new things when she was old.

Seeing her stop and pound her waist and legs, Zhu Xiuqin immediately came over and whispered: "Mrs. Sun, it's almost dark. Everyone has been busy all afternoon. Shouldn't we prepare dinner?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stomachs of several people around him began to growl in response.

Everyone smiled at each other, and even though the laughter was heard against the backdrop of the old village chief's lecture, they consciously kept it low.

Sun Wan thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. I'll show you my skills tonight!"

After saying that, Sun Wan came to the package next to the grain cart again and pulled out... a large piece of bacon!

As soon as the bacon appeared, the cave was in an uproar.

Zhu Xiuqin's mouth was almost watering as she looked at Sun Wan and her magical package excitedly: "Oh my god, Mrs. Sun, your package is simply a treasure pot!"

Sun Wan laughed out loud and said, "This is a treasure I brought from my hometown. I've been hiding it and not wanting to eat it. Now that everyone has worked hard, it's just the right time to take it out and give everyone some nourishment!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Xiuqin quickly pushed aside the crowd gathered around the cauldron and added firewood swiftly. "Sister-in-law Sun, what delicious food are you planning to make? Can I help?"

Her enthusiasm amused everyone, and some of the more ruthless ones pretended to push her: "Oh, how dare we ask you for help? You've already lost half the meat!"

"Screw you!"

Zhu Xiuqin laughed and spat, and Sun Wan also laughed: "I see we have some wild vegetables here, why not chop them up with the bacon and make a bacon and wild vegetable rice?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
