The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 15 "Poisonous Fruit"

In modern times, Su Yunduo is studying nursing, so she has dabbled in traditional Chinese medicine, but she is far from proficient, and has only a superficial understanding of pulse diagnosis, so even if she can calm down to diagnose pulse at this moment, it is still possible. I really can't diagnose one, two or three.

However, based on her nursing experience, after a rough observation, one thing is certain, that is, Su Chengzhi's pulse has indeed strengthened compared to yesterday, and the two mouthfuls of blood did not seem to be able to get rid of all the depression in his heart. , but most of them were gone. To others, vomiting blood is a very serious matter, but for Su Chengzhi now, it has become a good thing.

Su Yunduo withdrew his hand on Su Chengzhi's veins, feeling sad that he didn't have exquisite medical skills, sighed faintly, tucked the quilt for Su Chengzhi, turned around and went out to the kitchen, scooped some boiling water from the wooden bucket After washing his hands with good wormwood water, he began to prepare dinner.

In fact, there is only so much food at home, and there is really nothing to prepare, but to pick up the wild vegetables and pumpkins that have been ruined by Su Yunying, and then wash and chop them for later use.

"Sister, Daddy will be fine, right?" Su Zexuan, who was sitting in the stove burning a fire, turned pale, apparently he hadn't fully recovered from Su Chengzhi's continuous vomiting of blood.

Raising his eyelids to meet Su Zexuan's terrified eyes, Su Yunduo tried hard to dispel the fear in his heart, and showed a peaceful smile: "Don't worry, Daddy will be fine!"

Su Yunduo's answer gave Su Zexuan great encouragement, and a smile burst into his handsome face: "That's right, our father will be fine!"

I scooped the pot with a wooden spoon a few times, seeing that the rice grains were full and crispy, Su Yunduo signaled Su Zexuan to lower the heat and simmer for a while to start the pot, then turned around and came to Beside the small clay stove where the medicine was being boiled, with his back to Su Zexuan, he carefully took out the unexpected harvest that he got in the mountains today from his arms, looked and thought about it, and finally used it as medicine.

What Su Yunduo is holding is a very complete ginseng. Based on her knowledge of ginseng, she naturally knows that this ginseng is not very old, and it may not be sold for a few dollars at the medical center in the town.

If it weren't for the fact that the family really needed money right now, and Su Chengzhi's current body was not ready for ginseng, Su Yunduo really wanted to use it for Su Chengzhi directly.

Now, let's sell it for some money and solve the practical difficulties at home first.

Su Yunduo silently calculated the distance to Linxi Town and Xiushui County, as well as his own footsteps, and he couldn't help but sighed again.

In this time and space where traffic is almost dependent on walking, I can only sigh bitterly in my heart.

In modern times, even if you just rode a bicycle, it would take at most a quarter of an hour to go to Linxi Town in the north. Now, with Su Yunduo's footsteps, it would take at least half an hour. As for Xiushui County, it is farther away from Geshan Village. An hour and a half is not enough.

If the ginseng in hand wants to sell for a better price, he still has to go to Xiushui County to try his luck. If he can really sell for a good price in the county, the extra two hours of this trip will definitely be necessary.

Although Su Chengzhi couldn't use ginseng, there was still something that Su Chengzhi could make up for. Su Yunduo's gaze turned to the basket that was crushed by Su Yunying, where there were a dozen large and small black wild fruits.

These so-called wild fruits are actually walnuts with outer skins. In Su Yunduo's memory, the folks here actually regard walnuts as poisonous fruits.

In his previous life, Yun Duo was born in Bashu, almost every household in the village planted one or two walnut trees, and Yun Duo only planted two in the yard of his house.

When I was young, when the walnuts were ripe, it was the happiest time for Xiao Yunduo. The fresh walnut kernels were white and fat, and tasted sweet, which was the most beautiful snack for Xiao Yunduo.

Today, when Su Yunduo saw the familiar walnut tree and the already darkened walnuts falling all over the ground, he was so excited that he almost cried out.

Walnuts Walnuts have the effects of invigorating the stomach, nourishing blood, moistening the lungs, and nourishing the mind. The phospholipids in walnuts have a good health care effect on the brain nerves.Walnut oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which have the effect of preventing and curing arteriosclerosis.Town of walnut-meat cough, breathe heavily function to be too very obvious while being flat, very much good to chronic trachitis and curative effect, patient of asthma, in winter.Properly eating some is of great benefit to walnut tuberculosis patients.

In modern times, walnut is almost a well-known tonic product, but here it has become a poisonous fruit that no one cares about.

That's right, maybe this place is too closed, at least in Geshan Village, no, it should be the entire Xiushui County, people's understanding of walnuts is only limited to the damage of the juice from the outer skin of walnuts to human skin and eyes.

When the walnut is not falling, its outer skin is blue. This layer of green skin is also called "Qinglongyi". If splashed in the eyes, it is more likely to cause blindness.

Because of the lack of understanding of the skin of walnuts, in this place, perhaps in this time and space, although there are descriptions of the medical value of walnuts in medical books, the understanding of walnuts is very lacking.

But Su Yunduo understands the value of walnuts. When she saw the walnuts all over the place, she burst into tears with joy, and was even hit by falling walnuts one after another. She still lingered under the huge walnut tree for a long time and refused to leave.

Of course, she didn't pick too many today. The walnuts with the outer skin are a bit heavy, and she can't carry much with her small body.

Because of Su Yunying, fewer walnuts were actually brought home. There were only a dozen or so walnuts left in the basket, but these ten or so walnuts were enough for Su Yunduo to make a nutritious meal for his family today.

Neither the modern Yunduo nor the current Su Yunduo has the ability to climb trees, so today Su Yunduo only picked up some walnuts that fell on the ground. The black appearance is not good, but being trampled on by Su Yunying like that is quite impressive. Su Yunduo lacked a process, and the outer skin of the walnut was almost completely separated from the walnut.

In order not to stain his fingers, Su Yunduo found a piece of rag to wrap his hands, and then squatted down beside the basket to handle the walnuts.

"Sister, you are about to lose this poisonous fruit!" Su Zexuan put down the fire in the stove and was about to come to help Su Yunduo, when he saw the "poisonous fruit" in Su Yunduo's hand, he shouted in horror.

Su Yunduo paused in his hand, looked up at Su Zexuan, his brows and eyes curved into a smile, and shook his rag-wrapped hand at Su Zexuan: "This is not a poisonous fruit, the pulp in this fruit has a lot of harmful effects on the human body." The good thing is that only this layer of skin is poisonous. Look at my hands. With the protection of this layer of cloth, the venom will not hurt me. By the way, you can help my sister find a stone, and you will know when you break the hard shell. Already!"
