Chapter 133: Collecting Herbs

After a busy day, there was finally some receipt, this is the first time Xiao Yu went up the mountain to pick medicine, although he didn't pick much, but he finally didn't return empty-handed, and in the inheritance of the medicine king, these medicinal materials are just the most basic herbs, according to the development of the current society, these herbs can be bought in general pharmacies, but the medicinal effect is not as good as the wild ones, because most of them are artificially planted.

"Xiao Yu, will you be a Taoist priest or a doctor in the future? Why do you catch ghosts and collect medicines, I feel that you will have a lot of things, I don't know anything" Xiao Jie asked curiously.

"Who said that if you catch ghosts and collect medicine, you will have to be a Taoist priest and a doctor in the future? I don't do that now, just go to school hard, prepare for a good university, and then go to the city, see a lot of high-rise buildings, and take my parents to Tiananmen Square, see ***, and see the sea."

Go to Tiananmen, this is Xiao Yu's wish since childhood, when he and his grandfather were together, his grandfather said that he would take him when he grew up, but before he grew up, his grandfather left first, but Xiao Yu has not forgotten this wish! There is also the vast sea, grandpa said that the sea is vast and boundless, and there are immortals living in it.

Xiao Jie also nodded busily on the side and said, "Yes, yes, I want to be a soldier when I grow up, and I want to be a soldier and defend the country."

Two children, one carrying a basket, walked on the mountain road, facing the cold wind, leaving the sound of giggling in the open mountain forest, gradually drifting away, disappearing at the end of the dense forest.

Xiao Yu came home at four o'clock in the afternoon, at this time in the countryside, it was already time for dinner, but when Xiao Yu walked to the door of the courtyard, he saw a motorcycle parked at the door, and there were two children younger than himself chasing in the yard.

"Who's coming, this is?" Xiao Yu put the back basket in the corner of the wall suspiciously, and then walked into the room.

After entering, he saw that it was his third uncle who came, Xiao Yu's biological father was the eldest, Xiao Qiang was the second, and there were two younger brothers below, and the person who came was Xiao Yu's third uncle.

Xiao Yu went to his third uncle's house when he was six years old, and now five or six years have passed in a blink of an eye, the original third uncle was full of spirits, but now he looks a lot older, his hair is gray, and his face has many wrinkles.

"Third uncle, third mother, you are here" As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Yu greeted politely.

"Hey, this is Xiao Yu, I didn't expect to grow so tall."

When Xiao Yu's third uncle saw Xiao Yu, he stood up happily, came to Xiao Yu's side, and pulled Xiao Yu as if he had seen a relative he hadn't seen for a long time, his face was full of love.

As the third uncle, Xiao Yu has a good impression, because he is the only one who gave ten yuan of New Year's money when he went to visit the New Year, although he has not interacted with each other over the years, but the original ten yuan, Xiao Yu remembers it very clearly, as if he heard that the third uncle and the two of them quarreled for the ten yuan.

The third uncle and daughter-in-law are an authentic rural person, average-looking, a little disgusted with the feeling of being poor and loving the rich, when Xiao Yu went, the other party thought that Xiao Qiang was going to hand over Xiao Yu to them to raise, so he never gave a good face, but now I am afraid that he has already left this matter behind.

"Xiao Qiang, you are so convinced, the eldest brother is gone, leaving you a son, Xiao Yu is a sensible child at first glance, if the eldest brother and his wife are still there, I don't know how happy I am" Xiao Yu's third aunt sighed.

The third aunt's words made the room suddenly quiet, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Yu's third uncle looked bad, after all, they are brothers, they have been gone for so many years, it is impossible to say that they don't want to miss it.

Xiao Qiang was silent for a moment and said, "It's all fate!" Fortunately, the eldest brother left his blood and bones, and I can raise his son for him, which can be regarded as an explanation for the eldest brother."

"Hey... Don't say it, things have passed, natural and man-made disasters, we can't avoid it, now as long as Xiao Yu is good," Xiao Yu's third uncle said.

"Yes, yes, don't say it, it's a big New Year."

Aunt Xiao Yu also knew that she had said something she shouldn't have said, so she got up and pulled over a large handbag, took out two sets of clothes from it and said, "Xiao Yu, come, try the clothes I bought for you, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so tall, and I don't know if the clothes are suitable or not."

"Hey, come on, why are you buying this thing, Xiao Yu has clothes" Xiao Qiang said angrily, but the expression on his face was still a little surprised.

"Thank you, Aunt San.." Xiao Yu smiled, stepped forward to take the clothes and looked at them, and then took them into the back room.

The house was particularly lively tonight, because there were two more adults, and two children, those two children should be seven or eight years old, and kept pulling Xiao Yu and letting Xiao Yu play with them, and Xiao Yu was also willing to accompany the two Xiao guys, so several people played hide and seek in the house, but at ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yu suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

"Xiao Yu, hey, I really let you say it, do you remember Mayor Wang and his daughter-in-law?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu said.

"Something happened, this afternoon the mayor and his daughter-in-law quarreled, his daughter-in-law couldn't think about it, so she jumped down from the building, they were on the third floor, jumped down and fell to their deaths, and now the town is crazy."

Xiao Yu listened and took a long breath, he originally thought that he had reminded the mayor that this matter should be resolved, but now it seems that he still underestimated the contradiction between them.

"Uncle Huang, what do you mean by calling me?"

"Oh, by the way, the mayor said, let me bring you a message, he seems to have asked you to go to his house to see, he was also frightened by this, and now the family is doing a funeral."

"I'm not going, the New Year is still a few days away, so far away" Xiao Yu directly refused.

Director Huang listened to Xiao Yu's refusal, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's okay, I don't think this matter is in a hurry, if it's not in a hurry, then let's talk about it after the New Year, it is estimated that there is nothing to do, he just doesn't worry, I will remind you, and I have a preparation in my heart."

"That's okay, wait for now, it's not so easy to have an accident soon, it's better to talk about it after the New Year, now that my family has a visitor, it's inconvenient to leave" Xiao Yu said directly.

Although Xiao Yu likes to make money, but now it's the New Year, the village kills pigs and kills chickens, and it is lively, and the people who work are back, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit the door every day, so I don't want to run so far in the cold.

But I don't want to go, that's when there is no accident, if something happens, I still have to go, after all, Maoshan orphans are not so easy to be, and there is another reason, that is, the person is the mayor of the town, and it is estimated that the village chief has to nod his head when he goes, let alone himself.

At this time, in the mayor's house, a white affair was being prepared, and in the middle of the coffin house, wreaths were placed on both sides of the house, and the mayor looked like he had aged more than ten years overnight, looking sluggish, as if he had not recovered from this incident.

On the side of the coffin, Wang Junjie knelt in linen and filial piety, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and he looked extremely sad.

Because it is the mayor of the town, so the characters with heads and faces in the surrounding villages have gone to mourn, and for a while, the mayor's house is like a happy event, and it is overcrowded, and the three-story small building is full of people with heads and faces nearby.
