Escape to the desert and farming: bring hundreds of billions of supplies to support the whole family

Chapter 199 Collecting herbs in the mountains (treasure hunting)

Shen Nuanning ran to the wasteland carrying several large lunch boxes, "Dad! Brothers! It's time to eat!"

"Hey, here we come!"

Hearing this, Old Shen and his sons immediately put aside their work in the field, ran to the edge of the field, picked up their rice bowls, and started eating.

"This wasteland is really difficult to open."

Shen Laoer shook his hand. He had only been working for a few days and his back was sore. It was even harder than hard work.

While eating, Old Shen said, "It's not easy to open up wasteland. Once it's opened up, it'll be fine. I estimate that in more than half a month, we should be able to open up one acre of land."

"Second brother, I have some ointment over there. I'll ask my sister-in-law to apply it to you when you get back."

After Shen Nuanning comforted her brother, she squatted aside and looked at the ground, "Dad, what should we plant in the ground?"

"The newly plowed land is not fertile. It's best to plant some beans, edamame."

Shen Nuanning argued, "Dad, I will go to the county to buy it when the time comes!"

There are still many seeds in her space.

Old Shen nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Why do you keep running to the county? You are not young anymore. It's time to think about getting married."

When Shen Nuanning heard this, her scalp felt a little numb, "Dad, let's go ahead and send the lunch box home later."

The Shen brothers kept laughing.

As soon as they went up the mountain, Shen Zhi came to find him, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face, "Aunt Ning, my father's legs are starting to hurt again."

"I'll go take a look with you."

Shen Nuanning immediately went home to get the medicine box and ran to Shen Zhi's house.

Shen Dahai was lying on the bed with a somewhat painful expression. When he saw Shen Nuanning, he said, "Girl Ning, you are here."

Shen Nuanning nodded, "Brother Dahai, let me look at your legs."

She pressed his leg, took out a silver needle and pricked it a few times.

I don't know if it was because of trust, but as soon as the needle was inserted, Shen Dahai felt that the pain disappeared a lot, and he fell asleep in a daze.

Shen Zhi looked at his sleeping father, unable to regain his senses.

Aunt Ning is really awesome.

Shen Nuanning wrote down, "I will give Brother Dahai a new prescription. If I take this prescription for two more months, I will be able to get out of bed and walk slowly, and my legs will no longer hurt."

Shen Zhi took the prescription and Shen Zhiniang nodded, "Thank you very much, Ning Yatou."

Shen Nuanning shook his head, "Sooner or later it will have to be cured. If my master has not cured it, of course I will help him cure it."

Shen Zhi took the prescription and prepared to go to the county to get medicine later.

Shen Nuanning said, "Shen Zhi, my fourth brother is going back to the county today. You ask him to bring medicine. You accompany me to collect medicine."

Shen Zhi nodded.

Soon, the two entered the mountains.

It is said that the mountains depend on the mountains, and the mountains are the greatest wealth given to the nearby villagers. Shen Nuanning prepared some commonly used anti-insect and anti-snake powders, and went deep into the mountains with a basket on his back.

Shen Zhi followed closely behind him step by step.

The atmosphere in the mountains is naturally different. There is no hustle and bustle of human voices, only the sounds of birds, beasts and insects. Being in it, letting the wind blowing through the leaves blow through people's hair, feels particularly natural and relaxed.

Shen Nuanning felt that this place was a natural treasure. As long as you go deep enough, there would be medicinal herbs and some unexpected things everywhere.

"Chen Zhi, come here!"

"Auntie Ning, what's wrong?"

Shen Nuanning plucked the leaves and picked a red fruit, "What do you think this is?"

Shen Zhi's expression changed a little, "Sister-in-law, don't touch it, this may be poisonous!"

"How do you know if it's poisonous?"

The colors are so bright, and the more beautiful things are, the more toxic they are!

But before she could say anything, Shen Nuanning stuffed it into her mouth and took a bite, "You'll know if it's poisonous if you take one bite!"

Shen Nuanning's eyes were particularly bright. She never expected that there would be such a big surprise, strawberry.

One of her favorite fruits.

I found wild ones here. Although they are a little small, they are red and very sweet.

Shen Zhi's eyes widened, "Aunt Ning, are you okay? Spit it out quickly! You have forgotten that our parents have taught us not to eat random things from the mountains! We don't know each other, and we will be poisoned!"

Shen Nuanning stood up, jumped and said, "It shouldn't be poisonous, it's very sweet." "If you don't believe me, just wait a little longer!"

As time passed, Shen Nuanning was still intact and alive, and Shen Zhi's expression gradually relaxed.

She patted her chest, "It's okay, sister-in-law, you really scared me to death. Is this fruit really delicious?"

Shen Nuanning suppressed a smile and nodded.

She finally realized something and blinked, "Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? Did you already know that there is no poison! It scared me to death!"

Shen Nuanning smiled even more happily.

She pointed at one to Shen Zhi, "Look, the fruit has been bitten by insects, which means it's not poisonous."

Shen Zhi suddenly realized.

She took one off and stuffed it into her mouth, shaking her head violently, "It's so sour."

“This is sweet.”

Shen Zhi tasted another strawberry, and then realized the wonderful taste of strawberries, "Let's pick some and take them back to our family to eat!"

"Yeah."

The two of them picked the red ripe strawberries. Shen Nuanning said, "No need to pick the unripe ones. We will come back later. Maybe there will be more strawberries here."

In a small strawberry field, the ripe strawberries picked took up half a basket, and the harvest was quite fruitful.

The two continued to go into the mountains. Shen Zhi was a little worried, "We have already entered the mountains. Let's go back to the village."

"Go a little further in and then go back."

Shen Nuanning intuitively felt that there was something good nearby, so she began to bend down to look for it. Shen Zhi was also looking for it.

She felt that Aunt Ning already knew a lot of plants. If she met someone she didn't know, she would ask them and she would usually get an answer. Of course, a few Aunt Ning didn't know what they were.

"Auntie Ning, what do you think this is?"

One kind looks like an onion, a little thinner than an onion, but very long, as long as two arms of a person.

Shen Nuanning walked over and took a look, her eyes lit up, "Scallions are a very delicious wild vegetable. They are very fragrant when fried with eggs."

"Take it out! It's a good time to add another dish tonight!"

When Shen Nuanning went into the mountains, he followed one word: pluck the feathers of a wild goose.

Although Shen Zhi felt that her family might not be willing to fry eggs with a lot of oil, she still followed her sister-in-law's instructions and pulled off the shallots in large handfuls and put them into her own bamboo basket.

Shen Nuanning continued to search. Based on her experience in collecting herbs in her previous life, she accurately dug up a spot and saw a flower and a few leaves. Then she silently dug up the soil next to the flower until it was deep enough. .

Shen Zhi came over at some point, widened his eyes and held his breath, "Sister-in-law, could it be..."

"what!"

Shen Nuanning was startled by the sudden voice in her ears, then looked at Shen Zhi and nodded calmly, "Yes, this is the legendary ginseng."

Shen Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened, "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky!"

She raised her eyebrows and thought, after all, no herbal collector would dare to go so deep into this mountain.

Shen Nuanning carefully took out the ginseng and patted the soil on his beard.

"It really looks like a fat baby, with hands and feet." Shen Zhi exclaimed.

"Let's go! Let's go home!"

She put the ginseng into the basket on her back and walked home with great vigor.

Shen Zhi followed her side by side.

Halfway through the return journey, Shen Zhi suddenly screamed.

"There are snakes."

A small snake. Shen Nuanning raised his head and looked at a small green snake entwined on the branch above Shen Zhi's head.

Stretching out his head, the snake eyes were faint, and snake letters would pop up from time to time.

For a moment, Shen Nuanning's legs went numb.

"Don't move."

Bamboo-leaf green is very poisonous, and one bite would be very serious.
