Chapter 17

Du Xiuheng nodded.

"It's handled very well." he wrapped up the gauze again, got up and said, "girl Li is very talented in medicine! Well, you have a rest first, and we're going to the mountain."

"Grandpa Niu, when will you be back? If you're late, you can come and taste my stewed snake soup." Du Xiaoli came out with a jar of wine and smiled when he saw that Niujing was ready to leave.

"OK. Then you should keep one for your grandpa Niu." Niu Jing said happily.

"I want to drink too," Leng er said.

"OK, a hundred copper plates and a bowl. Refuse to bargain." Du Xiaoli put the wine jar on the ground and said.

"What, more money?" Leng er said in surprise, "doctor Niu doesn't have to give money!"

"Grandpa Niu is an acquaintance. Of course, you don't have to give money. If you want to drink, pay in advance." Du Xiaoli said proudly.

"Maybe you can't drink it at all!" lenger said.

"If you don't drink, I didn't force you. If you don't pay the bill now, it will double in a while!" Du Xiaoli said with a sly smile.

"You..." Leng Er took out a piece of silver and said, "don't look for it!"

"OK, you can drink as much as you want!" Du Xiaoli said with a smile when he saw the silver and changed his attitude towards lenger.

"What a girl who sees money!" lenger was surprised by Du Xiaoli's change and muttered.

"How nice it is to have money. If I have money, my brother and I can have enough to eat, and if I have money, my brother can continue to study. Maybe we can build another house. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with seeing money!" Du Xiaoli said indifferently.

Du Xiuheng leaned against the door and his eyes became deep when he heard Du Xiaoli's words.

Du Xiaoli grabbed the head and tail of the snake with one hand and slowly touched it down on the protruding abdomen with the other. When she touched a hard thing, she made a cut below, took out the snake gall, washed it with water and threw it into the wine jar she had just moved out. Then skillfully dissected the snake, cut it into small pieces of about five centimeters with a knife, and stewed it with ginger and other spices.

"Brother, are you hungry? I'll make you what you want to eat." Du Xiaoli asked when he saw Du Xiuheng sitting on the low pier under the eaves.

Du Xiuheng shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing Du Xiuheng's appearance, Du Xiaoli thought he was afraid after being bitten by a snake, because someone in the village had been bitten to death by a snake before. She squatted down, put her hand on Du Xiuheng's waist, leaned her head on his arm, shook it gently and said, "brother, don't worry, I won't let you have anything."

In fact, she was quite dependent on Du Xiuheng. She thought that she had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life, and he was just a ten-year-old child. She felt a little funny.

However, she had lived for so many years in her previous life. When she was a child, she took various training courses. There were several music training courses alone. She also won awards for zither, flute and piano. At that time, her parents didn't ask her if she was willing or not.

Later, when she lived in the countryside, she had no self. In order not to be driven out, she had to work hard. After being discovered by the organization, she didn't ask her if she was willing to do this task or kill.

If she could, she would say she didn't want to. But no one asked.

Therefore, when Du Xiuheng said she would do whatever she wanted and he would raise her, when he was willing to take out ten liang of silver to make a silver needle for her, he had entered her heart. What she wants is actually very simple, just a simple care.

Du Xiuheng looked at the people close to him and could feel her dependence and concern for herself. He touched her head with his other hand and looked at the distance, distant and deep.

After Du Xiaoli stewed the snake soup, he gave Du Xiu Hengsheng a bowl, put it on the stool beside him and said, "brother, this snake soup is very nutritious. Put it here first and drink it yourself."

Then she filled herself with a bowl. After drinking it, she went to dig and dry the herbs she dug yesterday.

Near noon, Niu Jing and them came back. Seeing them, Du Xiaoli shouted, "Grandpa Niu, I'll keep the snake soup for you!"

"Really? I'm thirsty and hungry. Please give me a bowl." Niu Jing came in and found a stool to sit down.

Lenger also casually found a place to sit down and shouted to Du Xiaoli, "don't forget mine. I paid silver."

Du Xiaoli filled two bowls, one for Niujing and one for lenger. He smiled and said, "how can I forget you!"

"That's good." Leng Er took the bowl with a smile, took a sip and exclaimed, "what did you put in it? How delicious it is!"

"The family secret recipe can't be passed on. Besides, you don't know if you say it." Du Xiaoli replied.

Lenger soon finished a bowl and ran to fill it. Anyway, he paid so much money that he can drink as he likes. When he saw that there was more than half of the soup in the pot, he said to Han Mingyi and lenger, "young master, first, you can taste it too. It tastes really good!"

Niujing also said, "it tastes really good. You can try it." lengyi took a look at Han Mingyi. Seeing that he had no objection, he was ready to serve him a bowl. Du Xiaoli looked at Du Xiaoli and threw her a silver or two. Then she found two bowls and washed them twice. She gave Han Mingyi a bowl and herself a bowl. "Girl, you've really gone into the eyes of money!" lenger joked with a smile. "Yes, I've gone into the eyes of money. I wish there would be a silver rain in the sky, even if it would kill me!" Du Xiaoli was not angry and went on along with his words, which made Niu Jing and lenger laugh. "Smile, ten years old, smile." Du Xiaoli said and turned to turn over and dry the herbs. After Niujing finished drinking, he put the bowl next to the stool, and then came to Du Xiaoli. Looking at the herbs she had dug, he found that there were several kinds of herbs he had not taught her. He picked up a plantain and asked, "I didn't tell you about this plantain. How do you know it is herbal medicine?" "I saw it in the medical book." Du Xiaoli replied. "Oh? Do you know what effect it has?" Niu Jing asked. "The Lord has bad urination, drenching and turbid, edema and fullness, diarrhea due to heat and dampness, red eyes, phlegm and heat cough and asthma. Grandpa Niu, am I right?" Du Xiaoli asked. Niu Jing nodded and picked up another kind of medicine. Du Xiaoli answered correctly.
