Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 29

Got into trouble

Anmu asked Anle to help keep accounts for a few days, but Anle only did this for less than half a month.The villager who was originally responsible for keeping accounts was named An Ning, and for some reason he never recovered from his illness.

Anle naturally knew An Ning, a young woman in her thirties, and Anle’s first impression of her was just two words: Weak.She is very thin and fair, but unlike Anle’s white skin, Anle’s white skin is a healthy white with reddish colors, like a shiny pearl, while An Ning is a sickly pale, and one can tell at a glance that she is weak and must be sick from time to time.

This is indeed the case. Anle learned from An’s mother that An Ning’s illness was brought from her mother’s womb. She has been taking tonics all year round but still has no complexion. Fortunately, the air in the village is very nourishing and she has managed to survive all these years. However, she will get sick if she is not careful.

“Then why didn’t she take care of her carefully and still work?” Anle was in the courtyard with An’s mother, drying out the medicinal materials in the courtyard. After hearing this, she asked curiously, “Didn’t it mean that the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and unmarried women don’t have to do the work in the village?”

An’s mother smiled helplessly and said, “She asked for it. She said she was bored without doing anything all day, so she asked the village chief to arrange a job for her to pass the time. The village chief couldn’t resist her, so he asked her to help with the accounting. She is not the only one in the village. She usually leaves easy work to her, so the work is not tiring. And having something to do is not a bad thing for the patient, but I didn’t expect that this time the illness was so serious that he couldn’t even get out of bed.”

Speaking of this, An’s mother had a sad look on her face and sighed: “The weather is getting colder and colder, and she is so sick this time. If she can’t find the medicine, Ningning may not be able to survive this winter.”

“Yaoyin?” Anle asked after hearing this, “What kind of medicine do you want? Doesn’t our family have it? Don’t other families have it either?”

In addition to An’s mother being a doctor, there are two or three other families in Longyin Village who also know medical skills. Anmai’s father was also a doctor. Anmai inherited his father’s business and also knows medical skills.However, An’s mother has the best medical skills in the village, while An’s father is very proficient in medicinal materials.

Medicinal materials are different from grains. Different medicinal materials are picked, dried, and stored in different ways. Therefore, medicinal materials are not centralized and managed in the village, but are kept by the doctors individually.Although they are kept separately, the medicinal materials are shared with each other. After all, they provide free medical treatment to the villagers.

An’s father is responsible for picking medicinal materials. Therefore, An’s father and An’s mother’s family have more types and reserves of medicinal materials than other families. Therefore, others basically come to them to ask for them. They rarely go to other families for medicinal materials when they are short.In other words, if his family doesn’t have it, then other companies basically won’t have it either.But to be cautious, Anle still asked about the situation of other companies.

Unsurprisingly, An’s mother shook her head: “No. Ning Ning usually uses mild medicinal herbs to support her, but this time the disease is so severe that the previous methods are ineffective, so I want to change to a drastic method to fight poison with poison. I just lack a strong medicine to use as a medicine. I hope your father can find it this time.”

An Le knew that An’s father was going to collect medicine tomorrow, but he didn’t expect that it was specifically for An Ning. Seeing the worry on An’s mother’s face, An Le comforted her: “Dad is the best at finding medicine and making it. It will definitely be fine. Mom, don’t worry, Aunt Ning Ning will definitely get better.”

After saying that, An’s mother’s face became even more sad, and she sighed deeply and said, “I’m not just worried about Ning Ning, I’m also worried about your father. The medicine we need this time is unusual. We have to go to the mountains and forests in the northwest to find it. It’s dark, humid, and full of poisons…”

“Poison?!” Before An’s mother could finish speaking, Anle screamed in horror. He didn’t know much about the mountains and forests in the northwest, but as soon as the word “poison” came out, his mind immediately thought of poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes, poisonous spiders, poisonous snakes and the like. Some poisons can be used as medicine to treat diseases. He had also heard of them, but this did not dispel his fear of poisons.

Anle asked tremblingly: “Mom, what kind of medicine does Aunt Ningning need?”

“Snake gallbladder.”

“Aki snake?” Anle had never heard the name of this kind of snake, so he asked, “Is it poisonous?”

Mother An nodded solemnly: “It’s the five-step snake we call it.”

“Five-step snake?!” Anle screamed in horror again, almost knocking over the bamboo sieve under his hand.Hearing the sound, An Xiaoyu came out of the house and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Anle had no time to pay attention to him. He finally understood why An’s mother looked worried. If she was accidentally bitten, his father would be involved.

“My dad won’t go alone?!” Anle looked worried.

An’s mother gave a relieved smile and said: “Don’t worry, your father will not go alone, the other two families will also go together. Firstly, Ningning is in urgent need of this medicine, and it will be faster if more people find it; secondly, there is a lack of such medicinal materials in the village, and the opportunity is rare, so take this opportunity to collect as much as possible.”

“That’s too dangerous.” Anle shouted.

“The hunting team will also send people to accompany us.” An’s mother comforted Anle in turn, “It’s okay. Your father is experienced and will be fine.”

“No!” An Le clapped his hand and said firmly, “I’ll go too.”

But An’s mother frowned: “No, I told you after you came back from the last hunting trip that you can’t leave the village again.”

“But I’m not going to play this time,” Anle insisted, “I must go, and I have to protect dad.”

An’s mother looked at Anle unhappily and did not back down: “No, your father will have to distract you to protect you after you go.”

“…” Being looked down upon by his mother, An Le was speechless, but he couldn’t rest assured unless he saw with his own eyes that An’s father was safe. After a while, he choked out four words: “I’m going.” After a pause, he choked out a few more words: “I’ll take An Xiaojin with me, so as not to cause trouble to dad.”

An’s mother frowned and looked at An Le. She didn’t say a word, but An Le’s heart tightened. With this expression, An’s mother felt like she was going to get angry and reprimand him in the next second.

Anle has never seen An’s mother angry with him, not even a harsh word.

At this moment, An Xiaoyu interrupted: “Anle, mother, I’ll go. I was supposed to join the hunting team in a few days. Since the hunting team wants to send people to follow, it just so happens that I will follow to protect dad. Anle, just listen to mother and wait for us at home.”

“No!” Anle protested even more strongly after hearing this, and said in an unquestionable tone, “If you go, I will go even more! What if you are bitten!”

Mother An was really angry now and said sternly: “What are you doing? What can you do if you get bitten?”

“I…” Anle was speechless when asked. His literary skills were not as good as his father’s, and his martial arts were not as good as An Xiaoyu’s. He knew rationally that his death would not be of much use, but he just couldn’t rest assured.

“I just want to go anyway,” An Le muttered angrily, “I can’t wait for you at home. I have to follow them in person and see with my own eyes that they are okay before I can rest assured.”

Mother An’s anger was ready to come out, and she said word by word: “An! Le!”

As we all know, when parents call out their full names, it’s really a sign of trouble. The wisest thing to do is to shut up, get scolded, and then find an excuse to run away.

So as soon as the full name came out, Anle almost surrendered.But he was determined to follow, so he resisted the urge to raise the white flag, turned his head, and ordered to An Xiaoyu: “An Xiaoyu, go talk to mother.”

An Xiaoyu: “……”

An Xiaoyu scratched his head and glanced at An Le, then carefully glanced at the angry An’s mother. After hesitating for a long time, he finally looked at An Le and hesitated: “An Le, I think what mother said…”

Before An Xiaoyu could finish his words, An Le received a sharp blow in the eye and silently closed his mouth.

“You know how to bully people, Xiaoyu,” An’s mother was amused by the back and forth between the two of them. She lost her temper, her brows relaxed a little, and she scolded Anle, “After getting married, I became more and more childish. You went with me. Xiaoyu wants to take care of you two. How can you take care of you two?”

“I don’t need him to take care of me, I have An Xiaojin.” An Le raised his chin and shouted majestically to the sky, “An Xiaojin, come here! Show me a wolf attack for my mother!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a menacing howl from the distance, and a gray-yellow figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road to An’s mother’s house. An afterimage rushed towards him, as fast as a rocket meteor, and the outline could be seen clearly in the blink of an eye.

An Xiaojin is growing up very fast. In just half a month, he has grown a full circle and has begun to take shape as a wolf. He runs with majesty and lightning speed.

In the past half month, An Le has trained An Xiaojin to be more obedient than a dog. Whenever An Le calls out the three words “An Xiaojin”, no matter where An Xiaojin is or what he is doing, he will rush towards An Le at all costs.

Regarding this, Anle was very satisfied and even prouder.Ever since, An Le raised her chin after shouting, magically waiting for An Xiaojin to show off his wolfish style, preparing to give An’s mother a big shock.

An’s mother was really shocked. She saw An Xiaojin running towards her very quickly. Instead of going through the door, she jumped over the fence without slowing down. Then, she heard a clang, and the wooden stand with three layers of herbs drying between An Le and An’s mother fell apart with a bang, and the dustpan of herbs was scattered on the floor.

An’s mother was stunned.

Anle was shocked.

An Xiaojin stopped in time, raised his head and wagged his tail happily towards Anle with an innocent expression, as if asking for a reward.

An Xiaoyu silently took a few steps back.

An’s father ran out of the house in panic when he heard the voice, looked at the messy ground, said “Ah” in confusion, and looked at several people.

Outside the hospital, An Susu’s milky voice could be heard intermittently in the distance: “Jin-jin-brother-brother-wait-wait-sister-sister-yeah—”

There was silence in the courtyard.

Anle felt that he was really on the verge of death this time.

“Mother…Mother,” An Le called her mother in a trembling voice. He extended his index finger to point at An Xiaojin, who was wagging his tail at him, and said tremblingly, “It’s all…he did it…”

An Xiaojin still raised his head, opened his mouth and waggled his tail.

An Xiaoyu squatted on the ground and silently picked up herbs.

An’s father took An’s mother’s wrist and persuaded her: “Aye, the child is still young, still young…”

An Susu ran into the yard with two hanging bunny buns, stopped beside a few people and gasped for air. When she looked up and saw An’s mother’s expression, she suddenly bit her lip, miraculously calmed her breathing, and took small steps to hide behind Anle.

Anle was at a loss.

Mother An took a few deep breaths and tried her best to maintain the image of a loving mother.

Anle looked around.

An Xiaojin straightened up and pulled An Le’s waist, as if he wanted to hug her.

An Susu moved behind An Le again, completely hiding her small body behind An Le.

An’s father had an unnatural smile on his face: “It’s okay, it’s okay, it can still be used after picking it up.”

An Xiaoyu lowered his head and carefully picked up the herbs.

After a long time, An’s mother stretched out her hand, stared at Anle, and made her final decision sternly: “You are not allowed to go!”

Anle didn’t dare to refute.

Mother An turned around and entered the house.

An’s father gave Anle a “Don’t worry, daddy is here” look and trotted into the house after An’s mother.

An Xiaoyu squatted on the ground and picked up herbs carefully.

An Xiaojin straightened up his front paws and pulled An Le’s waist with a little jump.

An Susu slowly moved out from behind An Le, grabbed An Le’s clothes, and said timidly: “Brother, mother is angry.”

Anle closed her eyes and covered her ears.
