Unexpectedly, the starling nodded again. Lin Wanwan really thought that the starling was smart. They chatted for a while before falling asleep.

Mrs. Lin made a cotton-padded jacket and said, "Lin Bo and Lin Song's cotton-padded jackets are ready. Now we're going to make one for Xinghua and Xiaoyuer. Next, we'll make one for Xiaokaibei."

Now that there was another child in the family, Lin Chong simply abandoned Xiao Beike and didn't even give them a piece of clothing.

When Xiao Beike was brought back, all his clothes were stripped off and he was still wearing Lin Bo's clothes.

These children all have a miserable life, but there are already six children in the family now. If Lin Fugui's grandson is included, there will be seven children in total. Although these seven children are obedient, it is still tiring to take care of them.

I don’t know whether Zhao Qiaoniang will agree to their joining.

Now Zhao Qiaoniang followed Naitang into the deep mountains. The mountains have been obviously much colder these days than before.

Today they went into the mountains to look for firewood and to see if there was any game in the mountains.

If they wouldn’t dare to come in normally, don’t we have candies now?

Naitang was really smart. The paths she took them on were very safe. Zhao Qiaoniang led them all the way inside.

They walked with difficulty on the rugged mountain road, with almost no visible road under their feet. They could only rely on machetes to chop through the dense branches and vines to move forward with difficulty.

There are so many branches here that the backpack was soon full.

Naitang led them onward. Zhao Qiaoniang whispered, "Naitang, where are you taking us? We have enough firewood."

Naitang licked its paws and waved at them. Zhao Qiaoniang and the others could only continue to follow it.

After walking for a while, Naitang stopped and pointed to the bushes next to him...

Zhao Qiaoniang looked into the bushes and saw two pheasants squatting there.

One pheasant has a bright red head, while the other has mainly brown and yellow feathers dotted with black markings.

Mulan swallowed her saliva and rushed over with Zhao Qiaoniang. Soon, each of them got a pheasant.

The two pheasants seemed very uneasy in their hands and kept struggling.

A smile appeared on Zhao Qiaoniang's face, and her eyes sparkled with joy.

She looked at the pheasant in her hand and said, "What a good harvest today!"

Cui Ya shouted excitedly: "Sister Qiao Niang, look, there are six eggs here."

The eggs lay quietly in a small nest in the bushes. The eggshells were a light beige color with some traces of dirt on the surface.

Mulan smiled and said, "Boy, that's quite impressive."

Toffee glanced at them and led them forward. After a while, they saw a bunch of dandelions and a kind of herb.

No one knew what kind of herb it was. Mrs. Bai knew about herbs and had told them that if they saw any in the mountains, they should just dig them up.

There are so many herbs in the mountains. Sometimes they look like weeds, but when you dig them up, they may turn out to be herbs.

Now they didn't care whether they were weeds or not, they just dug them all up.

It was already midnight when they arrived at the camp, and Master Bai and the young carpenter were still doing carpentry work.

Zhao Qiaoniang said softly, "Master Bai, go to bed early! You've been tired all day..."

Master Bai smiled and said:

“You guys don’t feel tired even when you go up the mountain, so why should we feel tired?

Now that we have more and more children, we plan to make a unicycle so that the children can rest their feet on it."

The unicycle is divided into two parts, one of which is a comfortable riding area for children, which is padded with soft materials.

The other is the cargo area, which can hold a lot of items.

The wheels are wide and thick, so using a wheelbarrow on mountain roads is more stable and saves effort.

Lin Fugui, who was standing next to him, rubbed his hands and looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "Qiaoniang, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Zhao Qiaoniang asked, "Second Uncle, what do you want to say?"

Logically speaking, Lin Fugui and Lin Qingniu are cousins, so Zhao Qiaoniang should call Lin Fugui "Second Uncle".

Lin Fugui looked at her and said:

"Qiao Niang, you also know that my second uncle was sold when he was young, and he only decided to return home two years ago.

I am not familiar with the people in the village and I don't intend to get involved with them.

Second Uncle has made some money these years, can he go to Bianjing with you guys?"

Lin Fugui took out a string of copper coins from his sack and said, "I know this string of copper coins is far from enough. When I have money in the future, I will give it all to you."

There are about a thousand coins here, which is almost one or two taels of silver. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Lin Fugui and his grandson Chou Chou, sighed and said, "Master Bai, do you think this is okay?"

Master Bai smiled and said, "It's up to you! But Lin Fugui is quite hardworking. If it weren't for him tonight, we wouldn't have finished our unicycle."

Lin Fugui is only forty-five years old and in good health. It would be nice for us to travel together.

"Okay, then come over!" Zhao Qiaoniang nodded.

Lin Fugui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know some martial arts and I won't hold you back. I can also drive a car and do many other things."

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said, "Then I'll go see the child first."

Seven children lay on the old quilt. Mrs. Bai raised her head when she heard the voices and asked, "Are you back? How was your harvest today?"

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said, "I got two pheasants and picked a lot of wild vegetables and some herbs. Do you think these are herbs?"

Mrs. Bai climbed up, took out the torch beside her and shone it around. "Wow! Notoginseng and Bupleurum, not bad!"

Zhao Qiaoniang's eyes lit up and she asked, "Aunt Bai, is this a medicinal herb?"

Madam Bai smiled and said:

"This is Panax notoginseng, and the main medicinal parts of Panax notoginseng are its roots and rhizomes.

Sprinkling Panax notoginseng powder on the wound can quickly stop bleeding.

At the same time, it also has a certain hemostatic effect on internal bleeding, such as hemoptysis and hematemesis.

This is Bupleurum chinense. The medicinal part of Bupleurum chinense is mainly the root.

Bupleurum can effectively alleviate symptoms such as fever, headache, and body pain caused by wind-cold or wind-heat.

Lin Wanwan listened and nodded. The quality of these Panax notoginseng and Bupleurum chinense is very good, and the medicinal effects should be better than modern ones.

"Ga..." The starling suddenly cried out, startling everyone. Even Naitang was startled and bared his teeth at it.

The starling chirped again. Mrs. Bai chuckled and said, "This bird talked to Wanwan for a long time today. I saw that Wanwan liked it, so I didn't drive it away."

Zhao Qiaoniang laughed and said, "This little guy actually made a friend. That child must be Lin Fugui's grandson, right?"

Madam Bai nodded and said, "They've been hungry for several meals and are skin and bones. Are you planning to keep them here?"
