I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 305: Panic and fear of the past

When Sun Lizheng heard Leng Rongyue's words, his eyes lit up!

This is good news for their Dashi Village!

Leng Rongyue went on to say, "I originally thought that I would have a meal here with Uncle Luo, and then go to see Uncle Lizheng and discuss the next steps with him.

Unexpectedly, the village head came first.

Then come and have some food with us, and then we will go to Uncle Zhao's house to visit Aunt Zhao, and then give Uncle Zhao the reward for going into the mountains.

I was thinking of setting up a medicinal materials purchasing point here in Dashi Village. This matter would be led by the village head uncle, and specific matters concerning medicinal materials would be handled by Uncle Luo and Uncle Zhao.

The drug store will give you a commission;

In addition, an additional year-end bonus will be distributed based on the amount of medicinal materials purchased each year.

The specific amount will be determined later.

Just speaking of this matter... I wonder what the village chief thinks?"

"Okay, okay! This is a good feeling!

When it comes to medicinal materials, Lao Luo and Lao Zhao are the real experts.

As for me, I just help with the chores, run errands, and give a hand!"

Sun Lizheng was rubbing his hands with joy.

Suddenly remembering that they had just come down the mountain and had not yet had their meal, Sun Lizheng stood up and said, "Look at me, I came at the wrong time and delayed your meal.

You guys should eat first!"

"Uncle Village Head, let's share some!" Leng Rongyue called.

"No, no!

It’s already this late, I’ve already eaten.

I'll go to the yard and wait for you.

Now that you have finished eating, let’s go to Lao Zhao’s house together.”

"Okay, then we won't let Uncle Lizheng down. After we finish our meal, we'll go out."

"Okay, you guys hurry up and eat. I'll go to the yard to look for some herbs."

Sun Lizheng stood up and walked out as he spoke.

Zhao Xiang showed up at the headman's house, and then went back home carrying his backpack.

Shuanzi took care of his sick mother until she finished her meal. He watched her rest for a while and then fell asleep before he sat aside and ate his cold lunch.

Hearing footsteps outside, Shuanzi stuck his head out to look, and saw that it was Zhao Xiang returning. He quickly put down his bowl, called "Dad" softly, and went forward to take the backpack from Zhao Xiang's back.

Zhao Xiang let Shuanzi take the backpack with a smile and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom just finished her meal and is sleeping now." Shuanzi replied.

"Oh!" Zhao Xiang nodded and walked towards the house.

Shuanzi poured all the herbs in the basket onto the bamboo mat outside where the herbs were dried.

Those that need to be spread out should be spread out to dry, and those that need to be put away should be put into a wooden basin.

Then, he washed his hands and went into the kitchen to prepare meals for Zhao Xiang.

Shuanzi's mother suffers from palpitations and has a light sleep pattern, and will wake up at the slightest noise.

When Zhao Xiang walked into the house, he tried to make his steps as light as possible.

Walking to the table, Zhao Xiang picked up the kettle on the table and poured a bowl of water. After drinking it, he gently placed the bowl on the table.

With just this slight noise, Shuanzi's mother, who was sleeping on the bed nearby, suddenly opened her eyes as wide as she could.

She looked around in panic...

Seeing that it was Zhao Xiang, Shuanzi's mother raised her hand and patted her chest, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come back today?

Didn't you say... that you have to go up the mountain for three or four days?" Shuanzi's mother asked as she sat up slowly.

Shuanzi's father sat down at the table with a gloomy face and said, "Maybe we chose a bad day to go into the mountains. It started raining in the morning and we couldn't do anything. We had to go back."

"Oh, then... then... you were only gone for such a short time, so you will still pay me the promised reward... right?" asked Shuanzi's mother.

Zhao Xiang thought about it and nodded, "I think he will give it to me."

"I think they'll give it to you no matter what you call, right?

Haven't you given it yet?" Shuanzi's mother asked anxiously.

Shuanzi's father glanced at Shuanzi's mother and said nonchalantly, "It hasn't been given to you yet!

After going down the mountain, the girls went to Lao Luo's house together.

I went to say hello to the head of the village and came back first."

"Oh.

Then... then what we talked about before... has it come to fruition?" Shuanzi's mother asked again.

“That should be about the same!

Now that we are down the mountain, we should discuss the details of this matter again." Zhao Xiang said.

After hearing this, Shuanzi's mother nodded and said, "Let's just hope this can come true!

If I had known this earlier, I would have spent less money when I had it!

Now Shuanzi has grown up, it's time to talk about marriage.

But... Alas! My family has been dragged down by my illness and has no money left. When will I be able to find a wife for Shuanzi?

If only this could be accomplished!

Shuanzi can farm and take care of our food;

You can go up the mountain to collect herbs.

In the future, we won’t have to send the collected herbs far away from the mountain, and we won’t be forced to lower the price by the pharmacy.

There is no need to worry about being recognized if you always run out of the mountains!

If I can manage the medicine store to collect the medicine, our family's situation will be a little better, and Shuanzi will be able to find a wife."

Zhao Xiang looked at Shuanzi's mother lying on the bed. He said nothing for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Shuanzi's mother looked at Zhao Xiang and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. She just lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

Zhao Xiang glanced at Shuanzi's mother, frowned, stood up and walked out of the house.

As they walked, Zhao Xiang said, "You go to sleep first. I'll go out and sort out the herbs I collected."

Then, Zhao Xiang stopped again and said without turning his head, "It's been so many years since the incident. Don't scare yourself for no reason. Just forget what you should forget!

Unless you don't want to live anymore, then forget what you should forget! "

Zhao Xiang said this and walked out.

Shuanzi's mother heard what Zhao Xiang said.

She slowly opened her lifeless eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Zhao Xiang’s words… rather than comforting her, it would be more accurate to say that they were a reminder to her!

Remind her of what happened back then, that night, the blood on the bed, and her husband who was murdered innocently...
