Most of them happily saw their family members off, and after the ox cart drove away, everyone went back to prepare to work.

When Lin Cuicui passed by Li Guihua, she pretended to be kind and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about your brother going to the city. Don't be afraid that he will be seduced away by some vixen once he gets there. You won't have anywhere to cry then."

He Yue smiled and said, "Third Aunt is very understanding. I'm afraid that if Third Uncle brings back a woman next time, Third Aunt won't mind."

Lin Cuicui said unhappily, "It's shameless for a girl to say such things."

"Third Auntie, you know how shameless you are!"

"you……"

"What are you talking about? If you can't bear to leave your uncle, why don't you go with him? It's still not too late to catch up with him."

After saying that, he ignored Lin Cuicui and helped Li Guihua back, with Xiaozhuang and Dazhuang following closely behind.

Yang glanced at Lin Cuicui and said, "What a disgrace! Go back to work!"

Lin Cuicui left angrily, and a few onlookers left talking and laughing.

After returning home, Li Guihua instructed He Yue, "Xiaoyue, I'm going to take Dazhuang to work in the fields. You and Xiaozhuang stay home and don't run around. Prepare lunch and wait for us to come back around noon."

He Yue nodded, "Okay."

Li Guihua took Dazhuang out. As soon as her mother and brother left, He Yue turned to Xiaozhuang and said, "Xiaozhuang, I'm going to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. Do you want to go?"

Xiao Zhuang immediately stood up and said, "I want to go, but doesn't mother forbid us from running around?"

He Yue patted him lightly and said, "I already said I was going to find herbs to cure my illness. This is serious business. How can you call it running around?"

"Hey, yes, yes, let's go!" Xiao Zhuang happily went to get the small hoe and the big bamboo basket.

He Yue was amused to see him carrying a backpack that was much bigger than hers, and then she took the backpack and said, "You are too small, I will carry this."

It was indeed difficult for Xiaozhuang to walk with the backpack on his back, so He Yue took the backpack, went out, closed the door and went up the mountain.

As soon as the two entered the mountain, He Hua, who was passing by from the other side, saw them. From the scene yesterday, He Hua felt that He Yue in front of her was very different from before.

I was very curious about what was going on with He Yue, so I followed him secretly. He Yue and I entered the mountain and started looking for him as we walked.

Xiao Zhuang didn't know what to look for, so when He Yue saw what he needed, Xiao Zhuang would follow and dig.

Unconsciously, the two of them walked further and further away. Suddenly, He Yue shouted to Xiao Zhuang who was walking forward, "Don't move."

Xiao Zhuang thought there was some danger, and when he heard his sister's cry, he didn't dare put down his foot that he had just raised.

"Sister, what's wrong? Is there a snake? Is it gone?"

Unexpectedly, He Yue walked past Xiao Zhuang, squatted down not far in front of him, then carefully dug up a piece of grass from the ground and looked at it carefully again and again.

Xiao Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward, "Sister, you just yelled and scared me. I thought you saw a snake."

He Yue said without turning around, "This seems to be called Golden Thread Lotus. It is a very precious Chinese herbal medicine that has the effects of removing dampness and detoxification, clearing heat and cooling blood. I didn't expect to find it here. It's a pity that this one is so small."

Xiao Zhuang took a look and said, "I think I've seen this somewhere before. It's a very large plant. Is it valuable?"

He Yue's eyes lit up. "Where have I seen you before? Take me there quickly."

Xiao Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "I remember now. Last time, I went into the mountains with my elder brother to look for wild fruits and saw it over there."

Xiao Zhuang took He Yue to a valley. He Hua, who had been secretly following them, felt very tired and didn't want to follow them anymore. But when she saw them startled from a distance, she thought to herself, "They are so happy, could they have found some treasure?"

Unfortunately, she didn't dare get too close, so she couldn't hear anything they said.

Seeing them leave, she continued to follow them without giving up. He Yue and Xiao Zhuang came to a valley.

The temperature here is very cool, and there are high mountains on both sides, covered with dense trees.

There was a small flat land in the valley with many weeds. Xiao Zhuang pulled away the weeds and looked back, "Sister, come and see, is this the medicinal herb you mentioned?"

He Yue walked forward and saw that there were large plants of golden thread vine there, about twenty or thirty of them.

He Yue said in surprise, "It is this one. Xiao Zhuang, help dig it up quickly. Be careful not to damage it. If it is too small, don't touch it. Wait until it grows up."

Xiao Zhuang followed his sister to dig herbs. He Yue carefully put all the ones he dug into the backpack. Seeing Xiao Zhuang digging another one that was bigger than these, she stopped him and said, "That one is not it. Although it looks very similar, if you look closely, the color and thickness of the leaves are different."

Xiao Zhuang compared them carefully and found that it was real, so he threw away the fake one.

He Yue looked at the sky and then at the backpack, feeling that she had gained a lot today, she picked up the backpack and said, "It's almost time for today, let's go back!"

"it is good."

As soon as the two left, He Hua also ran to the place where they had just dug. She looked around and thought that the one thrown away by Xiao Zhuang was the one they accidentally dropped. She picked it up and looked at it. "Isn't this just a grass? Why did they dig so much? Could it be something good?"

She also looked carefully and found another one in the grass, so she dug it up and took it away.

They had not walked far when He Yue noticed something running towards them in the grass in front of them, and she grabbed Xiao Zhuang's hand.

Xiao Zhuang looked up and said, "Sister, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

"Shh, don't talk, there seems to be something in front."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds jumped out from the bushes in front of them and rushed straight towards He Yue and the others.

Both of them were so frightened by the wild boar that they stood there. They wanted to run but their legs would not obey them.

At this critical moment, several arrows flew out from the side and hit the wild boar's neck.

The wild boar fell at the feet of He Yue and the others, with blood flowing from its neck, grunting, and its limbs still struggling desperately.

Zhang Daniu walked over and said, "Why are you here? Are you okay? Are you not hurt? It was so dangerous just now, why didn't you hide?"

He Yue finally came back to her senses and said, "Brother Niu, thank you so much, otherwise we siblings would be finished."

Seeing the two men's pale faces, Daniu lowered his voice and said, "I'm glad you're okay. It's dangerous deep in the forest. You should go back quickly!"

He Yue nodded and looked down at Xiao Zhuang. "Xiao Zhuang, it's okay, it's okay. You must have been scared! Fortunately, Brother Daniu showed up in time."

Xiao Zhuang's legs went limp and he sat on the ground. "I was so scared, so scared, it was so horrible, I thought I was dead."

He Yue was also still in shock. He Yue turned to look at Danniu and said, "Thank you, Danniu."

Danniu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. I was chasing it anyway. I didn't know you were there and rushed it too hastily."

He Yue saw the wound on Da Niu's arm exposed through the torn clothes. The blood had dyed the clothes red. The wound was exposed and blood was still flowing out.
