After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

When the rooster crowed, Zhao Huanxi had already gotten up and washed up. He had some porridge warming in the pot. Seeing that the children were still sleeping soundly, he didn't wake them. He picked up the backpack and tiptoed out the door.

When we got to the big rock, there were already a few people chatting. The old man driving the ox cart should be Uncle Lu Gen.

Seeing Zhao Huanxi approaching, one of the aunts spoke up: "Lu family, would your eldest brother Lu be willing to go out so early today?"

This was said with a sour tone. Zhao Huanxi rolled his eyes at her, said hello to Uncle Lu Gen and the others, and ignored what the woman said.

The woman felt that she was being ignored, and said again: "I said this new daughter-in-law is different. She acts like an official's wife in front of her elders. It's a pity that she has the temperament but not the fate." As she said this, she curled her lips and glared at Zhao Huanxi.

Those words were extremely harsh. Everyone around knew Lu Feng's character, and Zhao Huanxi had suffered a lot. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. I wonder when these two had a quarrel.

Zhao Huanxi was speechless. How could she have offended this old woman that she was so hostile to her the moment she arrived? But there were people like that in the countryside. They would step on others when they saw they were having a hard time, and they would be jealous of others when they were doing well. It seemed that this old woman was just that kind of person.

Zhao Huanxi didn't look angry at all. He sneered at the old woman, "What kind of elder are you? Aunt Zhang, I remember your husband's surname was Liu, not Lu. I don't know if I have that fate, but Aunt Zhang, if you keep gossiping about other people, I'm afraid your tongue will rot and you won't live long."

After saying this, the people around them who were looking at each other in confusion all wanted to applaud Zhao Huanxi in their hearts.

If this old woman were a man, he would probably be even worse than Lu Feng. He would steal other people's things every few days, and when caught, he would take advantage of his age and throw a tantrum. He also bullied his daughter-in-law. He asked her daughter Lanhua to go out and wash clothes when she was eight months pregnant. He even cursed her every day during the confinement period because Lanhua ate some of her pumpkins.

She was always looking for trouble, gossiping about one family and sowing discord with another. Just because she harassed her daughter-in-law, no one in Dashi Village looked down on her. Seeing this old woman get humiliated was so hard, the people around her were almost laughing to death.

At this time, Grandpa Lu came with Grandma Tian, ​​carrying a large basket, and it seemed that they were going to buy a lot of things. Uncle Lu Gen, the driver, smiled and greeted Grandpa Lu, and Zhao Huanxi helped Grandma Tian onto the ox cart.

Old Mrs. Tian sat down and saw that the faces of the people looked a little strange. She pulled Zhao Huanxi over and asked her quietly what had happened. After Zhao Huanxi told Old Mrs. Tian everything, Old Mrs. Tian also became furious.

Pointing at Old Lady Zhang, he cursed, "Zhang Yanzi, you have no shame. Your butt is full of holes, yet you treat other people's hemorrhoids. If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I would hide at home and dare not go out. How dare you go out and talk about other people's affairs when you are so thick-skinned as to beg for mercy."

Old Mrs. Zhang, whose full name was Zhang Yanzi, nearly fainted when she heard what Old Mrs. Tian said, mumbling "you, you, you" for a long time without getting a word out. Uncle Lu Gen, the driver, saw everyone was there and was ready to go; he wasn't about to get involved in a women's war.

The ox cart moved forward slowly. Zhao Huanxi felt that his mother was too handsome. He needed to practice his tongue more to come up with curse words without thinking.

How could she know about the glorious record of Old Lady Tian when she was young, where she could fight with three shrews without losing. This old woman was just a little Karami in front of her.

Old Mrs. Tian stared at Old Mrs. Zhang to see what she could come up with, but the old woman just shrank her neck and dared not make another sound.

Just kidding, she was one of the three women who quarreled with Old Lady Tian when they were young. Even someone as strong as her was scolded so hard that she hid at home for three days and didn't dare to go out. She couldn't afford to offend anyone.

If she had known that Old Lady Tian was also going to town, why would she have bothered to bring bad luck to Zhao Huanxi? Now he was huddled in a corner like a quail, looking rather ridiculous.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang hadn't said anything, Mrs. Tian started chatting with the others, as if nothing had happened. Zhao Huanxi sat next to Mrs. Tian, ​​observing them calmly. They all lived near the village entrance and seemed easy to get along with.

The ox cart had been swaying for more than two hours, and it was almost nine o'clock.

Zhao Huanxi felt as if her bottom was shaking into eight pieces. She couldn't help but ask Old Lady Tian, ​​"Mom, how long will it take to get to town?"

Old Lady Tian looked at the surrounding scenery and comforted Zhao Huanxi, "It's almost there. Turn this corner and walk a little further to the town entrance."

Zhao Huanxi nodded and watched the ox cart moving forward. He wondered if a horse carriage would be more comfortable to ride in. He would like to get one when he has enough money. It would be great to ride in one.

After another quarter of an hour of walking, we saw the town entrance in the distance. The words "Rongshan Town" were engraved on the city wall. The two soldiers guarding the city below questioned everyone.

After arriving, Uncle Lu Gen drove the ox cart to a rest stop set up in the town, which was actually a straw shed where people who came to the market could temporarily park their ox carts. He gave the caretaker two cents and the ox could eat some grass.

This was Zhao Huanxi's first time in the city. It was even more lively here than in TV dramas. The court had not been at war in recent years, and the people could be said to be living and working in peace and contentment.

There were peddlers walking around the streets, women selling vegetables at stalls, and vendors shouting at the small stalls. Zhao Huanxi was ready to find an opportunity to get rid of Old Lady Tian and go to the town's pharmacy to ask about the price of Ganoderma lucidum. He would pay the money back when he had money. Zhao Huanxi really didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Old Mrs. Tian led Zhao Huanxi to a six-category shop with ease. In addition to food, there were also various condiments.

Zhao Huanxi was somewhat shocked by the price of grain today. A pound of polished rice cost fifteen cents, and the waiter said it would continue to rise. Zhao Huanxi looked at the cheaper brown rice nearby and prepared to buy some. If he couldn't eat white rice, brown rice would be fine; it was better than bran porridge.

Seeing Zhao Huanxi's distressed expression, Old Lady Tian whispered to him, "Go to the pastry shop on your left and buy two taels of sweet cakes. Come back and wait for me at the door. You want to buy a lot of things, so I have to bargain with the shopkeeper for a good price."

Old Mrs. Tian thought Zhao Huanxi was too shy to bargain, so she sent her to buy pastries.

Zhao Huanxi didn't show it on his face when he heard this, but he was very happy in his heart. It was really like giving a pillow to someone when they were sleepy. He quickly agreed and walked out of the store.

When I first arrived, I noticed that there was a family doctor's clinic on the corner of the street, right near the pastry shop, so I walked over quickly.

There is a large plaque in the clinic with the three big characters "Wenchuntang" written on it. When you walk into the clinic, you will see a little boy dispensing medicine behind the counter. The names of Chinese medicines are written on the boxes in the cabinet at the back.

Seeing someone coming in, he quickly greeted, "Madam, are you here to see a doctor or get some medicine?"

Zhao Huanxi shook his head and said, "I'm not that person. I just wanted to ask if you guys accept medicinal herbs?"

The little medicine boy nodded and said, "Madam, we collect the medicinal herbs. The better quality ones are easier to collect."

Most of the medicinal herbs in Wenchuntang are collected from farmers. On the one hand, it can allow farmers to have multiple sources of income, and on the other hand, it can save a lot of costs. However, the herbs sent by villagers are basically those that are very easy to find, and occasionally hunters will send some valuable ones.

Zhao Huanxi's heart moved, and he carefully took out the Ganoderma lucidum wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the counter to unfold it.

The little medicine boy's eyes lit up when he saw the purple Ganoderma lucidum on the stage. He hadn't seen such good quality purple Ganoderma lucidum for a long time. He quickly said to Zhao Huanxi, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go find the master to take a look." After that, he turned and went into the inner room to ask the master.

After a while, a white-haired old man came out and walked quickly to the counter to examine the Ganoderma lucidum on the counter. The two Ganoderma lucidum had round caps, shiny purple skin, and curved stems that seemed to be covered in mud. The old man nodded repeatedly, saying they were good Ganoderma lucidum.

So he said to Zhao Huanxi, "Madam, I'll take this Ganoderma Lucidum. I wonder what your price is?"

Zhao Huanxi had no idea how much this thing was worth, so he could only falsely report it as one hundred taels.

The old man was a little disappointed when he heard the price. Although the purple Ganoderma lucidum was valuable, asking for one hundred taels was really too high. He could only explain, "My dear madam, you don't know. Although purple Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find, ordinary Ganoderma lucidum is only fifty taels per catty. My dear madam, these two Ganoderma lucidum are less than two taels. The most I can offer is fifty taels."
