Chapter Seventeen: Collecting Herbs
"Mommy, don't worry, I will definitely protect you so that you can be safe and happy and enjoy your old age." Ning Xianbi suddenly turned around and grabbed Nanny Liao's shoulders, saying with a firm expression.
In the last life, Grandma Liao "made a mistake" in front of her because she offended Bai Caizhi, and Shen Qianshan happened to see it. It was just a small mistake, but he ignored her pleading and did not do anything. He mercilessly drove Nanny Liao out of the palace. Soon after, news came that Nanny Liao had died of illness.
It is said that even if she was ill, she would often struggle to go to the courtyard, look in the direction of the palace and mutter her own name. She must have been unable to let go of the little girl she watched grow up until her death.
When Ning Xianbi thought of this, she felt a little wet in her eyes. Strangely enough, whether she had read novels in the past or what she had seen and heard after traveling through time, most of them were nuns who relied on her to breastfeed her brothers and sisters. Because of her great achievements, she caressed about things in front of her master and did anything arrogant. However, Grandma Liao was the most conscientious person and she truly loved herself from the bottom of her heart.
Not to mention that Ning Xianbi's heart was filled with emotions because of recalling the past, but to talk about Grandma Liao, the girl suddenly came and was stunned. When she thought about it, her eye circles became red. On the surface, But she said with a smile: "Even if the girl dislikes the old slave's verbosity, there is no need to use this method to silence the old slave."
"In this life, we will live a good life. Me, Nanny, and Haitang, we will all live a good life." Ning Xianbi did not respond. She looked at the bright sun in the sky, and her heart was full of determination. and confidence.

"Did you see it? This is Polygala, which is a medicinal material that cannot be found in our house. It has the functions of sleeping, improving intelligence, eliminating phlegm and reducing swelling. It is often used for insomnia, dreaminess, trance, and difficulty in expectoration. It is an important ingredient for making nourishing elixirs."
It was a bright spring day, and although it was mid-morning and the sun was shining directly down, the gentle spring breeze was blowing, but it was not hot at all.
Ning Shibo and Ning Xianbi did not dare to enter the dense forest. They only looked for medicinal materials at the foot of the mountain and explained them to her. Behind them, two boys followed from a distance, and Haitang accompanied them. Next to Ning Xianbi, she curiously looked at the handful of herbs in the girl's hand that were said to be polygala, wondering what the difference was between this and wild grasses.
But Ning Derong straightened up, looked around, and sighed: "Fireworks are falling in Yangzhou in March, haha! It is probably the season in Jiangnan where grass grows and orioles fly. Poor old man, I have longed for the misty rain road in the water town of Jiangnan all my life. I originally planned to save a few money and go there, but I was restrained by family ties. I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to see the ten-mile Qinhuai River where "the sun rises and the river flowers are as red as the fire, and the spring comes and the river is as green as blue." .”
Ning Xianbi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, shook her head and smiled: "Are you thinking about Jiangnan, or are you thinking about the ten miles of Qinhuai River? I heard from my father that there is nothing else on the Qinhuai River, but the beauties in the boats. But it’s really stunning. At night, the boat hangs up lanterns and slowly shuttles in the Qinhuai River. Ten miles across the Qinhuai River, it’s like the Milky Way has come to the world.”
Ning Derong had a look of intense longing in his eyes, and it took him a while to react. He couldn't help but blush, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and snorted coldly: "Bullshit, bullshit, how dare your father say such things to a kid like you." , let’s see if I don’t teach him a lesson tomorrow. Okay, okay, there’s a bunch of polygala over there, go pick it up quickly. We also picked a lot of medicine this morning, and when the basket is full, go back, otherwise My sister-in-law and your parents will be worried."
Ning Xianbi scraped her face with her hands and said, "It's clear that Third Grandpa has a guilty conscience. Third Grandpa heard that the beauty is guilty..." Before she could finish her words, she saw Ning Derong taking a step forward and was about to chase after her. She quickly picked up the small medicine basket on her back.
He ran away, only to be so frightened that Ning Derong kept shouting behind him: "Slower, slower, don't fall, oh my little aunt..."
The old man and the young one ran away, Haitang followed Ning Xianbi, and just as she was about to run onto the road, she stopped, held Ning Xianbi's arm, panted and said with a smile: "Okay, girl, the third old man will catch up.
If he doesn't come up, he's getting older, so don't worry about you anymore, stumbling over is not a joke."
Ning Xianbi also stopped and looked back at Ning Derong, blowing his beard and catching up with eyes wide open, while shouting: "Bad Peony, run again, run again and see if Third Grandpa can beat you."
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Xianbi made a face and said with a smile: "Will Third Grandpa hit me? If so, then I will run away again."
Ning Derong was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and shouted: "No fight, no fight, my little ancestor, just stand there for me. If you run down, your short legs will be scratched if you fall."
, how can I explain it to my old sister-in-law?"
As he spoke, he also slowed down and came this way, shook his head and said, "What are these words? I am an old man, but now I have to be held hostage by a young man like you."
Ning Xianbi smiled and said, "If Third Grandpa doesn't accept it, let's compete again."
Ning Derong walked up to her and said with a smile: "No more comparisons, no more comparisons." As he said that, he touched Ning Xianbi's hair and sighed: "Oh! I don't know what's going on with you kid. You're too much on a regular basis.
Too prudent, and there is no trace of the innocence of a child. That is to say, at this time, a little innocence of a child can still be revealed. At the gate of a big house, at the gate of a big house, everyone says that wealth is extremely rich. Is wealth really like that?
Okay?"
Ning Xianbi secretly thought to herself, "Don't you know? I am just pretending to be so innocent right now. Alas! It has been more than 20 years since I traveled back to ancient times and I still don't know "
Is the "Tomb Raiders Notes" series over? Are Tianzhen and my brother together? What is the ultimate? Did that guy Third Uncle make it up?
While thinking about it, I heard Ning Derong say: "Okay, let's go back. We picked a lot of medicine today. I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of herbs here. I'll come back to pick some some time later."
The old man secretly made up his mind that when he comes back in a few days, he cannot take Ning Xianbi with him, otherwise he will not dare to go up the mountain, lest she fall while climbing, and this place, even at the foot of the mountain, is
With so many herbs, there must be a richer variety of herbs in the mountains. If you collect them and dispose of them properly, even if you can't sell them for money, you can just give them away when the house is giving porridge during the holidays.
While the old man was thinking, he took Ning Xianbi to the main road, and their carriage stopped on the side of the road.
Just as he was about to reach the carriage, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, and he seemed to be in front of him in an instant.
