Chapter 175 Aunts Are Uneasy
After Ning Xiyue returned to the Educated Youth Home, she went back to the kitchen to tinker with medicine.
There are many medicines for hunting in the wild, including hemostatic and sore medicines, detoxifying medicines, and intoxicants for animals.
Considering that it was a matter of human life, the medicines Ning Xiyue gave them were all medicines with a score of 90 or above, and the effects were not generally good.
At the appointed time, the captain came to get the medicine. Ning Xiyue explained the use of each medicine one by one. She especially took out the large bag of drug powder and handed it to the captain and emphasized it.
"Captain, this drug is the best to use. You must take it with you for hunting. If you encounter large prey such as wild boars and other animals, if you can't beat it, just sprinkle it. The animals will be knocked down within a few moments after smelling it."
When the captain heard this, he was so happy that he laughed out loud. He took the poison and looked at it repeatedly:
"This medicine is good. With this medicine, we don't have to worry about being unable to defeat large prey. Girl Yue, if we really get a big prey like a wild boar, I will give you a big thigh."
"Then I'll be waiting for your triumphant return." Ning Xiyue smiled sincerely and pointed to another pack of soybean-sized pills, "This contains the antidote to the drug. To avoid being drugged, you can take one first.
Go down."
Ning Xiyue handed the medicine bag to the captain along with her hand.
"Okay, I understand, Yuewazi, I'm waiting for your uncle Dawei to come back with the prey." The captain took all the medicine and left with a satisfied smile on his face.
Ning Xiyue watched the captain leave happily, hoping in her heart that the captain would come back with many prey, and then bring the big guys back, so that the team could celebrate the New Year happily.
She had already thought about what to do with the thigh meat promised by the captain.
At six o'clock the next morning, when Ning Xiyue was still sleeping soundly in bed, a team of hunting experts led by the team leader held shotguns and other tools and carried three days' worth of dry food on their backs.
And Ning Xiyue made those medicines and walked towards the vast white mountains without hesitation.
They would have to wait until they had hunted enough prey before returning, or until they had finished three days of dry food.
In the morning, Ning Xiyue still sat with the lesbians in the Educated Youth Home and knitted scarves. Her eldest brother had finished knitting her scarf and now she was knitting it for her parents at home.
Wang Mengmeng and Liu Yao slowly knitted scarves with the wool they got from Chen Yechu.
Wu Guifang is still making her clothes, and Chen Yechu is also knitting sweaters.
A few people chatted from time to time, and the silence was comfortable, which made the atmosphere in the room very good.
It can be seen that the peaceful environment in the Educated Youth Courtyard was soon broken.
Perhaps half of the strong men in the team followed the captain into the mountains, leaving behind their wives, children, and children at home. They were always worried, fearing that the head of the family would never return, or that something unexpected would happen.
After learning that Ning Xiyue had provided some medicine for the hunting team, or that she was a barefoot doctor, many aunts crowded into the Educated Youth Hospital to chat with Ning Xiyue, have fun, and seek comfort.
Suddenly, the deserted Educated Youth Academy became lively.
Aunt Yangliu was sewing clothes in her hands and saying worried words.
"Girl Yue, when did your Uncle Dawei and the others come back? You didn't expect them to catch any big prey. You just wanted them to come back safely. Sigh, you have to be frightened once a year. It's really annoying."
Aunt Qian rubbed the hemp rope and sighed.
"Who can say otherwise? When my two sons heard that they were going to go hunting in the mountains, they were more excited than anyone else. They both insisted on going and couldn't stop them, leaving me, an old mother, worried at home."
"Big beasts like wild boars want to eat people. Hey, I can't even think about it."
There were other aunts who also said sadly.
Although there is such a large-scale hunting event every winter, the aunts have nothing to worry about.
What could Ning Xiyue do after hearing these words? She could only try to say some comforting words.
"Aunts, don't worry. The poison I brought them is specially designed to charm big beasts. Encountering big prey will only bring bad luck to the prey. All uncles, brothers and brothers can come back safely with their prey."
To be honest, she is still very confident in her medicine. Except for uncontrollable factors, these medicines can definitely ensure their safe return. Whether they can return with a full load depends on whether they are so lucky to encounter prey.
"As soon as Xiyue said this, I didn't feel so worried anymore."
As a fanatic of Ning Xiyue, Aunt Yangliu believed in Ning Xiyue's words the most, with a smile on her face and her heart relaxed. The worry on her face disappeared, and she comforted others.
The captain's hunting team had been in the mountains for three days, and Aunt Yang Liu took this group of aunts to the Educated Youth Yard to chat with Ning Xiyue for three days.
It seems that they feel that coming to the Educated Youth Center to gather together to do things and chat can make them feel at ease and stop them from thinking wildly.
This made other people in the Educated Youth Yard familiar with the aunts, and they got along very happily.
By the afternoon of the third day, Ning Xiyue could clearly feel that the aunts sitting here were restless, unfocused, a little impetuous on their faces, and some were frequently looking out the door.
As time goes by, the aunts become more and more restless and unable to sit still.
Just like students are approaching a few hours before their vacation, and office workers are approaching half an hour before getting off work on Friday, they are anxiously waiting for the time to arrive.
Ning Xiyue knew that this was because the time for returning home from hunting as mentioned by the captain was getting closer, and the most heart-wrenching moment came in the blink of an eye, as she anxiously waited for her family to return.
Aunt Zhang, who was a little impatient, stood up and walked to the door and looked at Daqi Mountain behind the Educated Youth Home. She saw nothing and walked in again, pacing back and forth uneasily in the room:
"How come your uncle and the others haven't come back yet? You only brought them three days of dry food. It's time to finish them."
Aunt Liu also put down what she was working on and asked worriedly: "Is something going to happen to them? They used to come back early in the afternoon. Why haven't they come back this time when it's almost dark? I don't think anything will happen to them today."
The wind and snow will be heavier tonight, and we don’t know how cold it will be on the mountain.”
On the contrary, Aunt Yang Liu showed her leading role as the captain's wife at this time. Although she was worried in her heart, she didn't show it on her face and said calmly:
"Don't think too much. Nothing will happen. I returned safely in previous years. This year, I still have the medicine made by Xiyue, so nothing will happen."
"Aunts, don't worry. Let's take care of ourselves at home. They will come back when it's time to come back. They must have hunted a lot of prey to delay the time. Come, let's eat pine nuts. I picked them up from the mountains and fried them myself.
It smells delicious.”
Ning Xiyue took out a bag of fried pine nuts to divert the attention of the aunts, and talked about some new topics on how to make pickles.
Chen Yechu and the others also made jokes, making the atmosphere more relaxed.
Chen Yechu also generously took out the spicy potato slices and distributed them to the aunts.
In previous years, these aunts would worry alone at home, but this year they gathered at the Educated Youth Center to have people laughing and chatting with them, which made them feel much better.
But after one night, the aunts still haven't waited for the hunter to come back.
The people who went hunting in the team were all anxious.
When all the aunts gathered at the educated youth group again the next morning, it was to ask Ning Xiyue for medicine.
Aunt Yang Liu stood up and looked at Ning Xiyue and said solemnly: "Xiyue, we are going to organize a group of people to go up the mountain to look for it. If something goes wrong and we can get treatment in time, do you have any extra medicine here? Can you give us some?"
Ning Xiyue saw that all of them were very anxious, with dark circles on their eyes. It was obvious that they had been worried all night and had not slept well.
"Auntie, let me go with you this time. If anything happens, I can handle it in time."
"Okay, thank you, Xiyue." Aunt Yang Liu held Ning Xiyue's hand with tears in her eyes and thanked her.
Ning Xiyue followed the second group of troops to Daqi Mountain with the medicine box on her back, and Aunt Yang Liu also went with her.
As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, Ning Xiyue's sharp eyes saw Comrade Zhang Jianguo from the hunting team rushing down the mountain.
"Aunt, isn't that Comrade Jianguo?" Ning Xiyue pointed to the people rushing down the mountain in front of her.
"Where is it?" Aunt Yang Liu panicked and looked in the direction Ning Xiyue pointed, and saw that the person running down was indeed the young man who followed her old man up the mountain.
She shouted loudly: "Jianguo, why are you the only one coming back? Where are they? Are they all okay?"
"Is my home okay?"
After Zhang Jianguo ran over, others gathered around and asked.
