Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 114 Lost in the Mountains
Meng's eyes widened in surprise, her reputation in the village is not good, who would be kind enough to pay her for the medicine?
She wanted to ask who Dr. Liu was, but Liu Renzhong didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything, so he turned around and asked Xue Datou to go back with him to get the medicine.

Meng Shi had no choice but to swallow his stomach full of questions.

It's hot now, and we can't go to the fields to work. People in the village usually take a lunch break at home and go to the fields when the weather is not so hot.

There was nearly an hour in between.

Mu Li didn't want to waste a lot of time on lunch break, so he went to Liu Renzhong's house to learn medical skills from him.

Liu Renzhong was very pleased to see her so diligent and studious.

First, he asked her if she had read the medical book that collected all the Chinese herbal medicines in the Great Zhou Dynasty that she had given her earlier. Mu Li replied that she had finished reading it.

So Liu Renzhong tested Mu Li's characteristics of more than a dozen Chinese herbal medicines on the spot, and Mu Li answered all of them verbatim.

Liu Renzhong knew that Mu Li was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart.

The medical book he edited contains hundreds of herbs. For ordinary people, it would take several months to memorize them by heart, but it took Mu Li less than half a month to memorize them all. .

At this time, Liu Renzhong has begun to realize the difference between Mu Li and others.

He looked at his apprentice with satisfaction, with a smile on his face.

"I'm planning to cook Baishu at home today. You came just in time. I'll teach you this first today."

Liu Renzhong took Mu Li to a room dedicated to storing Chinese herbal medicines, pointed to a small pile of Atractylodes macrocephala on the ground and said to her, "Go and remove impurities from the raw Atractylodes macrocephala, wash and moisten them thoroughly, and then cut them into pieces. Thick slices, exposed in the sun."

Mu Li responded one by one, found a dustpan, put all the raw Atractylodes in it, and then according to Liu Renzhong's instructions, removed the impurities, washed and moistened the raw Atractylodes, cut them into thick slices, and found them again. Get a clean dustpan, put the cut thick slices into the dustpan, and then expose them to the sun.

It was already an hour later when she finished all these tasks.

Liu Renzhong looked at the dustpans full of Atractylodes macrocephala and nodded with satisfaction. Then he waited for the Atractylodes macrocephala to dry completely, sifted out the debris, and put it in a special tool for frying.

It will take a day or two in the middle, and it will be longer if the weather is bad.

Liu Renzhong knew that it was the time of busy farming, Mu Qing went back to the academy to study, and when Mu Li's house was short of manpower, he couldn't let Mu Li stay here for a long time, so he said with a smile: "I'll come here first today." , you go back first."

Mu Li looked at the sky and found that the sun had moved to the end position, although it was still very hot, it was not as hot as when it was at its hottest.

She wiped off the sweat from her face, and smiled happily on her tanned red face.

"Teacher, is it the end of the processing after drying and sifting to remove the debris?"

Liu Renzhong said with a smile: "The dried Atractylodes macrocephala is still raw, and it's the last step of frying. There are two types of frying, one is fried Atractylodes with soil, and the other is fried Atractylodes bran. After a day or two, The raw Atractylodes atractylodes is dried, and I will teach you these two frying methods as a teacher."

Hearing this, Mu Li felt like a child in his heart, after happily agreeing, he bounced back home.

Her family doesn't grow much corn, only one acre in total. After harvesting in the morning, it's time to plant cabbage in the afternoon.

The land where cabbage is grown is the six acres of wasteland that Mu Qing and the others have just recultivated.

Mu Li planned to plant all cabbages in the first year, so that the field would not be vacant for half a year.

When next spring comes, she will plant two acres of early spring watermelons, two acres of sweet potatoes and two acres of peanuts.

At that time, if the output is high, the quality is good, and the selling price is high, she will consider expanding her planting scale.

……

Xiao Muxuan and Xiao Dalang each carried a bow and the other held a "red-tasseled spear". The two arrived at the entrance to the mountain. Xiao Dalang looked at the lush forest and hid behind Xiao Muxuan involuntarily, his hands trembling slightly. Taking off his clothes, I can't wait to stick my body against his back.

The weather was already hot, and Xiao Muxuan's whole back was steaming when he leaned against him like this.

"Don't get too close to me, I'm too hot."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Dalang moved closer, the wind rustled, rustling sounds could be heard in the grass from time to time, fear gradually welled up in his heart, Xiao Dalang's whole body was tense like the strings of a bow.

"I, I'm afraid." His voice trembled, with a hint of crying.

There was another rush of rustling sounds from the grass, hearing the sound getting closer and closer to them, Xiao Dalang's face turned pale, his scalp became tense, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and the blood in his body seemed to be condensed. flowed.

"Snakes, snakes, snakes, there are snakes."

He stuttered with fright, and couldn't even speak coherently.

The pair of small hands holding Xiao Muxuan's clothes also hugged Xiao Muxuan's arm instead.

Xiao Muxuan frowned, his arms were tightly hugged by Xiao Dalang, and Xiao Muxuan also became nervous when he made such a move, even so nervous that he could hear his own pulse beating, but his face was serious and pretending to be calm Looking at the sound, a pair of black eyes were keenly staring at the place where the sound came from.

The sound is getting closer and closer.

For a while they were directly in front of them, for a while they were on the side, and for a while they ran behind them.

Xiao Dalang's scalp was numb and tense from the sound, his legs were sore and limp, and his soul was frightened. If it wasn't for Xiao Muxuan dragging him away, he would have been so frightened that he would have turned into a puddle of mud.

Suddenly, something jumped out of the grass and rushed towards them.

Xiao Dalang was so frightened that his face lost all color.

Then came a scream piercing the sky.

"what--"

The screams startled many birds in the woods.

"Stop barking!" Xiao Muxuan stopped in a deep voice.

"what--"

Xiao Dalang couldn't hear Xiao Muxuan's voice at all, and his extreme fear made him scream continuously, as if doing so would reduce the fear in his heart.

Xiao Muxuan raised both eyebrows, put on a serious face, and covered Xiao Dalang's mouth.

Eyes vigilantly observe the surrounding environment.

"Woooooo-"

Xiao Dalang's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak, sobbing loudly.

"Is it still called?"

Xiao Dalang opened his wet innocent eyes and shook his head wildly at Xiao Mu Xuan.

However, almost at the moment when his mouth was free, Xiao Dalang subconsciously screamed again, and Xiao Muxuan glared at him coldly and with warning eyes, Xiao Dalang was so frightened that he choked back.

He quickly covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

The small appearance is wronged, innocent, and pitiful.

Xiao Muxuan sighed, and his voice softened, "It was just a rabbit just now."

Xiao Dalang opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

"Really." Xiao Muxuan scanned the surrounding environment vigilantly and vigilantly, and said seriously: "We can't go inside anymore, let's practice here."

Hearing that it was just a rabbit just now, Xiao Dalang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at this deep and secluded mountain forest again, fear crept into his heart again, and he tugged on Xiao Muxuan's sleeve.

"How about we go back a little bit?"

Xiao Muxuan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked all the way just now in order to find an ancient tree that could be a target, but they still haven't found it. When they came to their senses, they found that they had already walked a long way inside.

There are dangers here and there, and they won't be as lucky as before every time, only encountering rabbits with no attack power.

The most indispensable thing here is poisonous insects and beasts.

Xiao Muxuan took off the mahogany bow from his body and held it in his hand, and took out a sharp wooden arrow from the quiver behind his back. He was on guard all over, with sharp eyes, and he had a kind of stability and calmness that adults only have. calm.

Xiao Dalang hugged him tightly.

Wherever Xiao Muxuan went, he followed.

The two walked away for a while, seeing Xiao Muxuan suddenly stopped and couldn't leave, Xiao Dalang was puzzled.

"Why don't you go?"

Xiao Muxuan looked at a bush of thorns and frowned: "I lost my way."

Xiao Dalang was dumbfounded, and then burst into tears.

Xiao Muxuan frowned: "Don't cry, be careful to recruit the beast again."

Xiao Dalang stopped crying suddenly, wiped his tears and said with sobs: "Then how do we get out?"

Xiao Muxuan inspected the surrounding environment, and said: "I marked it, as long as we find these marks, we can go out."
