"Oh, it belongs to Gu Hanchuan's comrade-in-arms. His whole family went south with him, so he transferred the car to me at a low price."

Ye Hehua circled the car several times; the car looked brand new no matter how she looked at it!

“They didn’t ride it for long after buying it, and the whole family cherishes it and takes good care of it. Auntie, I’ll leave this bike here from now on, I won’t ride it anymore.”

Liu Zhengang and his sister were also squatting next to the bicycle. This was a rare item. Only the village chief's family in the whole village had one. If you needed to borrow a bicycle from his family, you couldn't go empty-handed, otherwise the village chief's wife would give you a piece of her mind.

When someone borrows my bicycle, I'll bring along two eggs, or give them a dime. I can't just ride someone else's bicycle for free.

Liu Erniu never expected that his niece would actually be able to get him a bicycle.

When the couple saw the cloth Ye Nuan had brought them, they were both happy and embarrassed.

"Warm and cozy, this fabric must have been really expensive, right?"

Ye Hehua had inquired about it at the supply and marketing cooperative two years ago. The prices were shocking. A foot of cotton cloth was only four cents, but this kind of thick twill cloth was selling for six cents a foot, and you had to get a ration coupon.

Now, two years later, Ye Hehua is unsure whether the price of the fabric has actually increased or not.

"I don't know if it's expensive or not, but Gu Hanchuan got it anyway. Auntie, you can make cotton-padded clothes from it. This kind of fabric is windproof and thick."

"Yes, it is thick. This one layer is equivalent to two layers of ordinary cotton cloth."

Ye Hehua smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.

With so much fabric, she thought she would make a jacket for each of her son and daughter, and also a large cotton-padded jacket for the head of the household.

It was still early, but she started preparing to slowly exchange cotton with others.

They also grow cotton in their village, but each family only gets a few kilograms each year. And she's thinking of making new cotton-padded jackets this year, so she has to exchange them with others in advance, and then she has to go fluff the cotton. She has to worry about everything.

After finishing her meal, Ye Nuan went to her sixth grandfather's house to learn how to identify medicinal herbs. She even listened to her sixth grandfather tell her many precautions for processing medicinal herbs, and he also mentioned how to process several precious medicinal herbs to retain more and better medicinal properties.

In short, what Ye Nuan learned here felt more practical and simpler than what she read in books.

Grandpa Liu is getting old, and he is happy to see that some of the younger generation don't mind the strong smell of his medicine and are willing to come and learn from him.

When he's happy, he talks a lot and teaches more and more advanced material.

Although it was only two days, Ye Nuan felt that it was more useful than reading two medical books.

After all, what my sixth grandfather taught me were the most basic and genuinely practical medical skills.

For example, how to bandage external injuries, how to stop bleeding, how to fix fractures, etc. In the countryside where there is no plaster cast, Grandpa Liu can also set bones for people without leaving any sequelae.

That’s the thing!

Ye Nuan took leave from school to study medicine in the countryside because she couldn't learn anything there anymore. In just a few days, she has already started to process medicinal herbs and is also helping her sixth grandfather brew medicine for people.

Ye Nuan was beautiful and a city girl, so her arrival not only attracted the hearts of the young men in the village, but even the educated youth wanted to get close to her.

One particularly noticeable change is the sudden increase in the number of people coming to Sixth Grandpa for medicine these past few days.

Grandpa Liu knows everything, but he never says anything.

Ye Nuan, on the other hand, was focused on her studies and had no idea how popular she was in the village.

Grandpa Liu kept a close eye on her every day, and wouldn't let her leave unless Liu Zhengang came to pick her up.

Ye Nuan thought that her sixth grandfather was scared by the kidnapping incident last time, so she went along with him. Little did she know that it was actually because her sixth grandfather was worried that some people with bad intentions would try to force themselves on Ye Nuan again.

Fortunately, Ye Nuan didn't go out at night and stayed at her aunt's house.

In reality, most young men simply want to see pretty girls.

Most people wouldn't dare to forcibly take Ye Nuan away.

Everyone still remembers clearly the heroic deeds Gu Hanchuan performed here last time!

You absolutely cannot mess with Ye Nuan!

I heard her boyfriend is a military officer, and a very high-ranking one at that.

Ye Nuan runs to her sixth grandfather's place every day. Ye Hehua can also see that her niece is interested in studying medicine. However, she can't take the college entrance exam now, and without some relevant professional knowledge, it's impossible for her to enter a unit like a hospital.

“Nuan Nuan, have you asked your uncle and grandfather if they know anyone at the hospital in Anshi who can help you get a job there, even if it's just an internship?”

Ye Nuan shook her head: "My eldest uncle hasn't been in Anshi for many years, and most of the people my maternal grandfather knew were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so it's not appropriate to contact them now."

Ye Hehua thought about it and agreed. Given the current situation, it was not advisable to get involved with some old-fashioned figures.

"Auntie, does my uncle go hunting in the mountains sometimes?"

“We go occasionally. Our village organizes hunting trips, once or twice every autumn. The villagers select some experienced and strong members to go into the mountains together. With more people, we can help each other if something happens.”

"You mean going deep into the mountains?"

"Yes. Villagers sometimes go up the mountain to catch a pheasant or hunt a bird, but they can't go deep into the mountains because it's too dangerous."

Ye Nuan was not afraid of danger, so after tinkering with a bunch of medicinal powder at her sixth grandfather's house, she went up the mountain to collect herbs.

This wasn't the first time Ye Nuan had gone out to gather herbs on her own, and Sixth Grandfather hadn't taken it seriously. Who knew this girl would be so bold as to venture into the deep mountains by herself!

In fact, Ye Nuan just felt that there was a space where she could cheat. If she really encountered danger, she could just hide inside. If she could find something good, she would be rich. The most important thing was that rare medicinal herbs were mostly in the deep mountains. Where would there be so many good things in the outer areas?

Ye Nuan was thinking of digging up some medicinal herbs and planting them directly in her space. She had thought it over; planting grains wasn't very cost-effective, since she had money and ration coupons now, and the land didn't seem particularly large. If she could plant medicinal herbs, it would be much more convenient for her to prepare medicines in the future.

After all, medicinal herbs are much more expensive than grain.

Ye Nuan dug and dug along the way, trying to dig up even the roots and stems, and then transplanted them into her space. She even found a chestnut tree on the mountain and moved it directly into her space as well.

Ye Nuan finally managed to dig up two ginseng plants, but they looked small and young, so she carefully knelt down and dug them out, afraid of breaking a single rootlet.

Ye Nuan glanced at the sky; it was time to head down the mountain.

I'll try again next time to see if I can find Ganoderma lucidum.

As soon as Ye Nuan stepped out of the deep mountains, she sensed something was off. She tensed up and quickened her pace as she descended the mountain.

After walking for about six or seven minutes, she saw a pool of blood, the color of which was slightly darker and had seeped into the ground, but it still smelled.

Is this human blood?

Ye Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She looked around but didn't see any wild beasts, yet she felt extremely uneasy.

She walked down the mountain along the usual path and found several more trails of blood. If that was the case, it might attract wild beasts.

Ye Nuan quickly cleaned up the bloodstains and soon saw two people leaning against a tree, their faces as white as paper.

"Uncle Ergou?"

When Er Gou heard someone calling him, he was overjoyed: "Xiao Nuan, hurry up and go down the mountain to call for help. We two really can't move."
