Fifth Brother and the others still haven't come back from the county town, so as soon as Manbao put the book down, she followed Datou to the fields to look for Silang.
Manbao was particularly well-behaved today, not causing any trouble at all. Holding the small stones dug up by Zhou SiLang and the like, she walked outside, following Datou and the others to pile things up at the edge of the field.

"Silang, do you know what this is?"
Zhou SiLang looked at his sister disdainfully and said, "It's Indian pennywort, of course."
"Do you know it's a medicine?"
