Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 268 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 9

Jiang Yueshu walked forward happily, picked up a few thin grass leaves and twisted them around her fingertips, twisted them into a straw rope, tied up her first trophy - a pheasant, and put it into the space.

At noon, I found some food from the space and then continued to look for herbs and prey.

She was also very craving for the pheasant, but she had never handled a raw chicken before and was afraid that she couldn't clean it properly. Plus, she wasn't a good cook and could only make some simple noodles and porridge, so she just found something to fill her stomach.

In the whole afternoon, Jiang Yueshu caught two pheasants, two wild rabbits, and a small pile of medicinal herbs. It was a great harvest.

When Jiang Yueshu reached the foot of the mountain, she took a small road and went directly to Cheng Shuo's house.

When they separated on the mountain last time, she knew that Cheng Shuo's home was relatively close to the mountain, and they could go directly there by taking a small path. They didn't want to be seen by the villagers when they were pulling pork last time, so they took that road.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yueshu saw the house as expected, and the wooden door was closed tightly.

Jiang Yueshu walked forward and was about to knock on the door. Just as she stretched out her arm, the door suddenly opened with a creak.

As expected, Jiang Yueshu's clenched fist hit Cheng Shuo's chest directly.

"It's you?"

"Are you OK?"

They were both startled, looked at each other, and spoke at the same time. The next second, they looked away awkwardly, their faces turning red.

Cheng Shuo was the first to come back to his senses. He coughed and said he was fine. Then he teased in a nonsensical way, "What? Did you get cheated out of money just because I said that?"

Jiang Yueshu: "......"

She glanced at Cheng Shuo speechlessly and said, "No, I have something to talk to you about."

"Oh?" Cheng Shuo moved away curiously. Knowing that outside the door was not the place to talk, he directly invited her in, "Come in and talk!"

Jiang Yueshu followed him in and immediately saw Cheng Shuo's yard which was swept very cleanly. There was also a well in the yard. A girl of about thirteen or fourteen was squatting on the ground watching ants moving.

"I'm here to bring you something." Jiang Yueshu quickly retracted her gaze, said this, and then rummaged through the backpack. The next second, she took out all the prey she had caught.

"You can keep one as my thank you gift, and I'd like to trouble you to help sell the rest."

Cheng Shuo widened his eyes and was amazed when he saw her take out three pheasants and two rabbits in a row.

"You beat me up?" Cheng Shuo opened his mouth wide.

"Of course, they can't have crashed into us by themselves!" Jiang Yueshu raised her eyebrows.

Cheng Shuo nodded in understanding, "That's right! The wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains are not so stupid as to walk into the trap!"

"But didn't you faint this morning?" Cheng Shuo looked at the strange girl in front of him with shock.

Jiang Yueshu looked innocent: "...It's a different time now!"

She was very weak then, but now she is very strong!

Cheng Shuo; "......"

Good, good, good, what a different situation! He was speechless.

Speechless, Cheng Shuo simply shifted his attention to the prey. The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

This girl is really strong at this moment!

Although it looks so weak, it managed to catch so many preys!

He looked carefully and found no wounds on the pheasant and the hare. They looked like they had just fainted. His accuracy and strength were excellent!

"Wow, you are so awesome!" he couldn't help but admire.

When Jiang Yueshu heard the compliment, she glanced at him happily and said "hmm" in a somewhat arrogant manner.

"But... I can't accept this thing. It's just a matter of selling it anyway. Why bother saying thank you?" Cheng Shuo looked at Jiang Yueshu's arrogant little appearance in surprise and couldn't help laughing.

"No, that won't work. I got a bargain from the five dollars I sold it for last time, and you helped me again this time. I hunted the prey specially just to give it to you! Take it, and you can exchange it for money if you want!" Jiang Yueshu said stubbornly.

Seeing that Cheng Shuo wanted to say something, Jiang Yueshu turned around and left, saying "goodbye" and ran away quickly.

Cheng Shuo's low, magnetic laughter came from behind. Jiang Yueshu blushed and ran faster.

That’s right, she learned this trick from him!

After coming out, seeing that it was still early, Jiang Yueshu carried a basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms and asked about Doctor Zhang's residence and went over.

As soon as she arrived at Doctor Zhang's house, Jiang Yueshu knocked on the door politely and called out to the room, "Doctor Zhang!"

The person inside heard the noise and came out quickly. When he saw that the person coming was the little girl who fainted in the morning, he quickly called his wife to help greet the people.

"You are here to get medicine, right? Wait a moment, I will prepare it right away."

Doctor Zhang was about to go to the pharmacy to find medicine, but Jiang Yueshu quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Doctor Zhang, I'm not here to get medicine."

Jiang Yueshu took off the backpack with some restraint, so that the two could see the contents clearly. "Doctor Zhang, I'm here to thank you! These are the wild vegetables and mushrooms I just picked on the mountain, all fresh! I...I, Doctor Zhang, can you tell me what herbs you need, and I'll go up the mountain to pick them myself...If you don't want to, then I won't ask. You don't need to take medicine!"

At the end of her speech, Jiang Yueshu shyly avoided Dr. Zhang's gaze and waved at the two of them, looking embarrassed.

Doctor Zhang was stunned and was about to say how could you not take medicine when you are sick, but suddenly he remembered that when he left in the morning, Jiang Aiguo called his wife to come and get the medicine, but he waited for several hours and no one came.

Taking another look at the girl's patched clothes and her troubled expression, he instantly realized that the Jiang family was probably unwilling to spend money on her medical treatment.

Doctor Zhang frowned and looked at the basket of compacted wild vegetables and mushrooms and said, "How about this, I'll use these wild vegetables to exchange for a dose of medicine! I'll give it to you now. You're too weak, you still need to take some medicine."

Aunt Zhang beside her also nodded in agreement. This girl is a grateful person, so she will help out if she can.

"It's really not necessary, Doctor Zhang and Aunt Zhang, I can't take that medicine for nothing!"

After Jiang Yueshu said this, she put down the backpack, rushed out of the house, and pretended to leave.

Seeing this, Doctor Zhang could only stop helplessly, "...Okay, I won't take it, come in quickly!"

Aunt Zhang was also shocked by Erya's honesty, so she rushed out of the house and pulled Jiang Yueshu in.

Jiang Yueshu smiled shyly and deftly poured the contents of the backpack into Zhang's basket.

Doctor Zhang had already walked over with the herbs and papers, and told Jiang Yueshu the names and appearances of the herbs he was using. Jiang Yueshu watched carefully from the side, and probably understood that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhang was for replenishing qi and blood.

After talking for half an hour, Doctor Zhang put away his things, thought for a moment and said, "These herbs can slowly regulate your body after being mixed together. If you have collected them, you can give them to me to prepare. If you can't remember, you can also come to me."

Afraid that she might have misidentified the medicine and something might go wrong, Doctor Zhang couldn't help but emphasize, "Once you have collected the medicine, you must bring it to me for confirmation. Don't take the medicine randomly!"

Jiang Yueshu nodded obediently, and repeatedly assured that she would definitely bring it. Then she declined the two people's offer to keep the meal for her, and went back with a small basket of wild vegetables.

Aunt Zhang insisted on letting her stay, saying that she was afraid that her family would scold her when she returned, so she had to pack some wild vegetables to take back. Jiang Yueshu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she stayed.

As expected, when she first arrived home, she saw her stepmother and Grandma Jiang with unhappy faces. It was not until they saw the small basket of wild vegetables she was carrying that their expressions eased a little and they called for people to cook.

Jiang Yueshu began to cook silently, but what she was thinking was that she was too lazy to forget the taste of yesterday's meal.

Since everyone is so dependent on their cooking skills, she has to make good use of them!

She really couldn't get used to the earthen stove at home. The fire was sometimes big and sometimes small, so this was a good opportunity for her to practice.

After all, given her current situation, she still needs to plan carefully if she wants to leave the Jiang family.

Even if she broke off relations with this family and ran away, her household registration and everything else were still here. In this day and age, where could she run to?

Even if she was no longer able to work, there were many old bachelors in the nearby villages who could not find wives, and the Jiang family would definitely be willing to sell her. Therefore, she had to become a burden to the Jiang family so that they would be willing to abandon her.

In addition, if she really left the Jiang family, her food, accommodation and personal safety would all become problems, so she had to prepare in advance.

Jiang Yueshu mechanically stuffed the firewood into the stove, his mind empty of thoughts. The bright firelight instantly illuminated his dark and thin face. After a while, a faint smell of burning came. Jiang Yueshu came to his senses and found that the water in the pot was getting less and less, so he added some more water.

That evening, cursing sounds were heard again at the Jiang family’s dinner table.

"What's that smell? The rice is all burnt!"

"This damn girl really thinks she's a spoiled lady! She's been resting for a day and can't even cook!"

"I think, maybe someone did it on purpose!"

When Liu Qingqing saw Grandma Jiang start to scold Jiang Yueshu, she quickly responded by saying to put eye drops in her eyes.

She had gone to town to look for a job today but to no avail. She was so angry that she was about to come back to listen to the villagers talking bad about Jiang Yueshu to vent her anger.

As soon as she arrived at the end of the village, she saw a few gossiping women sitting together and gossiping. Her eyes immediately lit up and she happily moved closer to listen, but what she heard was completely different from what she had imagined.

I thought everyone would scold Jiang Yueshu for being greedy for money and taking credit for the work, but in the end they complained about the group of educated youth in the village, saying that they were all mean and dirty-hearted, saying bad things about Erya behind her back, and even made her faint from anger.

When Liu Qingqing heard this, her face changed slightly. She didn't wait to hear more gossip and immediately prepared to go home to inquire about the news. Therefore, she didn't hear those aunties talking about the educated youth compensating and apologizing to Erya.

After she walked away, the aunties started to complain about Liu Hongjuan without any hesitation. Comparing the fair and tender appearance of Liu Qingqing with the dark and thin appearance of Jiang Erya who fainted, they felt that Liu Hongjuan was too biased.

Although she is Liu Hongjuan's biological daughter, Erya is also a member of the Jiang family. Even if we can't treat her equally, at least we shouldn't treat her so harshly.

When Liu Qingqing found out that Jiang Yueshu had rested for a whole day and hadn't washed her dirty clothes, she became even more furious. She herself had to go out in the scorching sun to find a job, but Jiang Erya could just rest at home for a whole day.

The key point is that Doctor Zhang actually described her symptoms, and she didn't seem to be faking illness. After all, she couldn't be joining forces with Doctor Zhang to tell lies!

Because of these, she couldn't get angry for the moment. After all, it was Jiang Aiguo who suggested that Jiang Erya take a day off. If she scolded her, she would be walking into trouble.

Just as he was thinking about it, when he saw that Old Lady Jiang had spoken, Liu Qingqing immediately came up with an idea and said without thinking.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongjuan quickly winked at her daughter, telling her to shut up, and said, "So, this person should not be spoiled, otherwise, something bad might happen."

When saying this, Liu Hongjuan looked at Jiang Aiguo on purpose, as if she was saying it specifically for him to hear, but Jiang Aiguo showed no reaction and continued eating as usual.

This time, Mrs. Jiang became even angrier and immediately yelled towards the kitchen, "Jiang Erya!"

Jiang Yueshu raised her eyebrows, walked in with her head lowered and walked to Jiang Aiguo's side.

At this time, Grandma Jiang had quickly taken off one of her shoes and was about to explode. A foul smell instantly attacked Jiang Yueshu's face, and she dodged it in disgust.

Looking at the unfinished meals on the table, I couldn't help but gasp, Wow!

They all have strong tastes, but no one dislikes them!

Although Jiang Yueshu was complaining in her heart, her face was full of fear. She was trembling, holding her chest and coughing non-stop. She performed directly in front of Jiang Aiguo, looking like she was about to faint.

Jiang Aiguo's eyes flashed, and thinking of what happened today, he prepared to persuade his mother first, in case a real fight broke out and something bad happened to Jiang Yueshu.

Who knew that before he could take any action, the next second, with a "bang", Jiang Yueshu fell down.

The Jiang family was all dumbfounded. Grandma Jiang held up the shoe and looked at Jiang Yueshu inquiringly. Liu Hongjuan also stood up suddenly, looking a little suspicious.

Liu Qingqing didn't believe it. While everyone was stunned, she quickly kicked Jiang Yueshu's body, but the fainted girl still lay there motionless.

This kick made Jiang Aiguo react instantly. He yelled at Liu Qingqing angrily. It was the first time that Liu Qingqing was scolded by his stepfather. He immediately shrank back in fear.

The three old men looked at each other, and finally Jiang Aiguo mustered up the courage to reach out his hand tremblingly, and slowly moved it to Jiang Yueshu's nostrils to probe.

When he felt that faint breath, Jiang Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He felt his own breath again, and after confirming it again and again, he found that his daughter's breath was indeed weaker than theirs.

"I feel dizzy." Jiang Aiguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and straightened his back.

Other people at the scene also wiped their sweat.

"Boss, help your sister back and give her some water."

Upon hearing his father's arrangement, Brother Jiang immediately stood up and helped the man to the small bed in the woodshed.

After dealing with all this, everyone sat down to eat again with lingering fear.
