The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 37 If you dare to take action on the road, you will not succeed

One mile to the left from the entrance of Qingyuan Village is a large mountain called Qingzhu Mountain.

When Tang Mian reached the foot of Qingzhu Mountain, it was almost midnight.

Looking at the endless mountains shrouded in mist, Tang Mian pulled the strap of the backpack, took a deep breath and walked in.

The outermost part is relatively clean, and the wild vegetables, thatch, dry firewood, etc. have been collected by the villagers, and she often comes to collect them.There was no medicine to collect here, so Tang Mian walked directly over to the depths.

When he reached the edge of overgrown weeds, Tang Mian held a wooden stick in one hand to clear the way and a sickle along the way to prevent emergencies.

As for the two unfamiliar herbal medicines she had seen before, she asked Dr. Wu yesterday and the prices were not high.

As for the medicinal materials she was familiar with, most people know them, and the villagers will pick them when they see them.

If she went out of her way to pick those medicines, there would be no effect.

So Tang Mian decided to go into the mountains to see if he could collect more expensive herbs. If he didn't get much, he would go back and collect two herbs that he didn't know before.

After walking for a while, Tang Mian found a potion in a pile of rocks.

The rhizome of this medicine is thick and straight, cylindrical, and the leaves are large oval. It is rock cabbage.

Rock cabbage can nourish, relieve cough and bleeding, clear away heat and detoxify.According to the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials", rock cabbage needs to be harvested with leaves and rhizomes.

Although she didn’t know the price of rock cabbage, she would dig it up as long as it was medicine.

Tang Mian exhaled, put down his backpack, and started digging for rock cabbage.

Rock cabbage grows in cracks in rocks and is difficult to dig.

Tang Mian took out his father-in-law's mason's tool knife, knocked off part of the stones on both sides of the cabbage, and then carefully removed the soil from the root of the cabbage, and finally pulled it out by the roots.

After digging a rock cabbage, Tang Mian was sweating profusely.After taking a breath, I wiped my sweat and continued digging. I didn't stop to rest until I had dug out all the cabbage.

Tang Mian counted them and found that there were twelve plants in total.

Putting the rock cabbage into the basket on his back, Tang Mian took out the bamboo tube and took a sip of water, then took a rest and continued moving forward.

Beside a pool, Tang Mian found clusters of green flat cylindrical plants, which were water calamus.

At a glance, the pond is already overgrown.

Tang Mian looked at the water calamus in surprise, there were so many!

This is all money!

According to the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials", Acorus calamus can resolve phlegm and rejuvenate the mind, remove dampness and strengthen the stomach, kill insects and relieve itching. The rhizome needs to be dug.

When digging, Tang Mian found that the water calamus plants were connected to each other, making it very difficult to dig.

In addition, the tools are not powerful, which increases the difficulty and mining time.

After digging, the thick leaves need to be broken off and thrown away, leaving only the rhizomes.

Tang Mian weighed the weight of a calamus plant, which was about half a catty.

I dug out almost fifteen kilograms, half of which I had to carry in a basket.

Tang Mian took out the rock cabbage that he had dug before, put the roots of the calamus under the basket, and then put the rock cabbage on top.

She didn't know the price of water calamus, but there were so many of them, so they could be sold for some money.

After placing the water calamus, Tang Mian sat on the stone by the pool, gnawed a piece of dry biscuit with the water in the bamboo tube, rested, put the basket on his back and continued looking for medicinal materials.

As he walked, Tang Mian's breathing began to become rapid and he stared ahead in disbelief. Is the thing with red stems and green leaves in front of him red ginseng?
Tang Mian put down his backpack and rushed over quickly, carefully checking and identifying.That's right, it's red ginseng, it's red ginseng, ginseng!
Doctor Wu told her that there are several types of ginseng, and the prices are based on appearance.

Tang Mian didn't know the quality of the red ginseng in front of her, but Doctor Wu told her that the lowest price for ginseng was four hundred yuan per pound.

Tang Mian covered his heart to calm down, staring at the ground with bright eyes, digging!

There were four red ginseng plants in total. Tang Mian carefully dug up the soil, not daring to be careless at all, and carefully dug out all the red ginseng plants.

After digging them all, Tang Mian sat down on the ground and looked at the red ginseng of different sizes in front of him with tears in his eyes.

After taking a breath, he wiped the tears from his face with a smile, wrapped the red ginseng in a cloth and put it in his backpack.

Seeing the harvest in the basket, Tang Mian did not continue walking inside, but turned back to the place where the herbs grew in his memory.

She had seen two herbal medicines before, but she didn't recognize them at the time. After reading the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials", she learned that one of the two herbal medicines was called Adenophora, which can activate blood circulation and regulate menstruation, remove blood stasis and carbuncle, diuretic and reduce swelling.

A kind of cat's eye grass can relieve cough and expectoration, eliminate edema, remove toxins and disperse stagnation.

Zeelan costs ten cents per catty, and cat's-eye grass costs fifteen cents per catty.

Although the price is not high, the growing location is on a wide roadside, so picking is very convenient.

When he reached his destination, Tang Mian saw an herb with a purple-red square cylindrical stem. This was Adenophora. According to the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials", it was recorded that the whole herb was used as medicine.

Tang Mian put down the basket on his back and picked up the sickle to harvest Zelan.It wasn't a lot. Tang Mian estimated that it was about two kilograms.

After harvesting the Zeoran, Tang Mian picked up the basket and walked towards the cat's eye grass.The cat's eye grass looks like a cat's eye, hence its name.

Its harvesting is similar to that of Zeelandia, which involves harvesting the above-ground parts.It's just that the sap of fresh cat's eye grass is poisonous, so you need to wear gloves when harvesting.

There are more cat's-eye grass than Zeeland, about four pounds.

Looking at the basket full of medicinal materials, Tang Mian sat down on the ground tiredly, looking relaxed and happy.

He took out the bamboo tube and drank the remaining water, ate the last half of the dry food, stood up, picked up the basket and went down the mountain.

When we walked out of Qingzhu Mountain, it was already halfway through Unitary Time.

Tang Mian put down his backpack and rested for half a quarter of an hour, then picked up his backpack again and prepared to go home.

She had just taken two steps when she heard a sound that frightened her.

"Little lady."

"Little lady, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!" The visitor had a lewd smile on his face, and what he said made Tang Mian feel sick.

Tang Mian looked at the visitor with disgust and tightened his grip on the strap of his backpack.

"Li Hu, I told you very clearly last time that I will not be with you. I hope you will not come to me again in the future."

After hearing this, Li Hu rubbed his hands and laughed, "Little lady, you don't have the final say whether you want to be with me or not."

"I heard that before Lu Xun died, you had a love outside and gave birth to a son. In this case, you don't have to pretend to be a chaste and martyr woman and obey me obediently to avoid suffering."

Li Hu said and took a few steps forward towards Tang Mian.

Tang Mian's pupils shrank and he quickly glanced around, but there was no one else around.

She could only endure her fear and retreat to the big rock where she had placed her backpack when she was resting. As she retreated, she kept dealing with Li Hu, "Li Hu, in the clear sky and in the daytime, do you dare to attack me on the road?"
