The white mushroom containing fluorescein were attached to the grass, sucking the vitality of the grass with a bright glow, and flickering slightly like street lights.
Shan Yu carefully avoided those harmful things and was a little regretful that he didn’t have a glass bottle.
After all, using them for lamps was brighter and easier than using oil lamps, candles, etc. The most important thing was to save money.
That was right, for Shan Yu now, poverty was his only label.
At dawn, Shan Yu finally found all the medicinal materials and harvested a branch of wild ginseng.
Shan Yu carried Grandpa Yaba down the mountain leisurely, and met Wan Qiu who was looking for him on the way.
“Husband!” Wan Qiu was very happy to see Shan Yu return safely. After seeing clearly who he was carrying, he covered his mouth in surprise and said, “Why did Grandpa Yaba’s face become like this? And his hair, all turned white…”
Because the mushroom sucked a lot of life force, not only did Grandpa Yaba’s hair turn white, but his eyebrows also turned white.
His face and various parts of the exposed skin were left with dense red spots that were grown by the mushroom. People with tropophobia would definitely get goosebumps when they saw it. In severe cases, they might even stop eating.
Shan Yu was a little tired from walking, so he put down the old man on his back and said, “I don’t know either, but it’s good that he’s still alive. For such an old man, it didn’t look bad with all white hair.”
Wan Qiu felt that Shan Yu was right, but was not right either. He used his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his husband’s face, which was very sweet.
Shan Yu was stunned for a moment, pushed Wan Qiu away awkwardly, took a few bites of the remaining dry food in the basket and shared it with Wan Qiu, and asked: “How is the situation in the village? Has anyone died again?”
Wan Qiu shook his head, he could tell that Shan Yu was hiding something from him. He lowered his eyebrows and helped Grandpa Yaba to sit up, saying: “Since everyone followed your method last night to induce vomiting and bloodletting for those who were unconscious, no one has died, but the doctor from the neighboring village is unwilling to come, and the villagers went to the town to invite another doctor… It is estimated that they will not be able to come back until dark…”
Shan Yu nodded, and then asked: “Do you know if Grandpa Yaba can read?”
Wan Qiu shook his head: “Husband, you have forgotten, except for the village chief, no one in our village can read.”
“Oh~”
.
Later, all the credit went to Grandpa Yaba.
The saved villagers brought rice, flour, grain, and oil to Grandpa Yaba’s home with gratitude, forgetting all about Shan Yu.
Grandma Wang couldn’t stand it anymore and said: “If it weren’t for that child Shan Yu, our Mujia Village would have to be renamed Widow’s Village. He was not afraid of death and went into the Deadly Forest to rescue Grandpa Yaba and saved our men. You guys don’t be heartless, you should always say a word of thanks, right?”
The village chief agreed with this and organized everyone to go to Shan Yu’s house with their things.
The yard was still the same yard, and the people were still the same, but the feeling was different.
There were no weeds or wine jars scattered everywhere. The house seemed to have been recently renovated. There was a rabbit nest near the door, covered with warm straw, and a rabbit with a big belly was lazily nesting in it, basking in the sun and eating grass leisurely.
Shan Yu welcomed the village chief and others into the house, and Wan Qiu poured water for everyone. The husband and wife cooperated very well, and there was no domestic violence scene like usual.
The village chief twirled his goatee and scanned Shan Yu’s clear and upright facial features carefully, and found that he was still the same person, but his demeanor was no longer the same as before.
