Chapter 92 (1/2)
The next day, when Zhang Man'er woke up, the Kang was empty, and there was no trace of Xue Chuan.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the bright sunshine outside. There was a fresh smell in the air. She breathed and saw that her clothes were in good condition. She went down to the Kang, opened the wardrobe and changed into a very new Luo skirt.
In the yard, Xue Chuan is digging with a hoe.
Yes, she said yesterday that in the yard near the east house, we can get a vegetable plot to grow some small dishes, which will be enough for the couple.
”Man'er, when you wake up, go wash and have breakfast.” Xue Chuan wiped a sweat, looked up at her and said.
”Oh.” Looking at his handsome face, Zhang Man'er can't help but restore the ambiguous scene of last night, with a red cloud rising from his face.
In order to cover up this embarrassment, Zhang Man'er ran into the kitchen and ate breakfast after washing.
After breakfast and dishwashing, she took out the cans.
It is also an arduous task to extract the venom from the five poisons. Put the pot on the stove of the decoction and bake it with fire.
As soon as the temperature rises, the poison in the original deep sleep, from struggling to suffocation, to death, when there is no movement in the jar.
Zhang Man'er found an inch long thick wooden stick and smashed the toads, spiders, snakes, centipedes and scorpions together. Then he took a piece of gauze to filter the juice.
Xue Chuan came in and said, ”daughter in law, are you going to start refining medicine?”
”Well, it'll take a few days to refine, but it's more troublesome.” Zhang Man'er covered the mouth of the jar with gauze, tied it tightly with a rope, tilted the jar with his hand, filtered the venom through the gauze and poured it into a porcelain bowl.
It was a dark bowl, but it was thick poison. She had to take three days to refine the medicine. She asked Xue Chuan to bury the poison residue in the soil. The jar didn't need to be cleaned, but it was directly filled with poison.
During this period, we should pay attention to the fact that our hands must not touch the venom, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Zhang Man'er poured the poison into the jar, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
It turned out that Xiaoshi was coming. He looked forward to them and said, ”third uncle, aunt, I heard that you have bought a fishing net. Shall we go up the mountain later?”
The boy, if he doesn't come to remind them, they may forget about it.
Xue Chuan looked at his child's heart. There was a sense of excitement and curiosity in his black eyes, so he glanced at Zhang Man'er and asked, ”look at this?”
Zhang Man'er put the jar of poisonous juice on the medicine stove: ”the poisonous juice has to be refined for three days and three nights. First, burn the stove and keep the small fire burning. The charcoal has to be burning all the time and must not be put out.”
Xue Chuan nodded and told Xiaoshi that he would wait for a while. He quickly raised the stove and added appropriate charcoal. He soon smelled a strange smell. It was very difficult to think of the strange smell in the kitchen these days.
After all this, he carried a basket and took fishing net, harpoon and other tools with him: ”let's go.”
