Chapter 34 Herbal Medicine
  "Yuan'er, what are you talking about? When will you change your outspoken temper?" Jiang scolded.

Xu Yuan felt aggrieved: "Mom, why are you talking about me? Did I say it wrong? It's just a small village..."

Xu Fan looked worried and shouted loudly: "Xu Yuan, what qualifications do you have to look down on others?"

Xu Yuan was stunned by Xu Fan's words.

In his eyes, Xu Fan had always been a gentle, modest and prudent child, but now he actually called her by her name and scolded her loudly.

Xu Yuan felt very wronged, her eyes suddenly turned red, she put down the rice and took her husband home without even saying hello.

Jiang chased after her and called her: "Yuan'er..."

But Xu Yuan didn't even look back.

Jiang complained: "Fan'er, you shouldn't have said such harsh words to your second sister!"

"Mom, the second sister is already married, but she still speaks without thinking. If she doesn't know how to repent and continues to talk like this, she will get into trouble sooner or later, and no one can save her."

Jiang didn't take it seriously: "How can you say it is so serious? She just has a more straightforward temper and doesn't know how to beat around the bush."

Xu Fan pinched his brows tiredly, "I'm not trying to scare you. You should know that trouble comes from your mouth. The straight-tempered you think you are may hurt other people's self-esteem. If that person is a narrow-minded person and does evil things behind his back, I don’t even know how he died.”

Xu Fan's words startled Jiang, "I will talk to her properly." Then she asked, "Fan'er, are you really treating the Shen girl differently as your second sister said?" What's on your mind?
  A trace of sadness flashed across Xu Fan's eyes: "Mom, don't listen to what the second sister is saying, there is no such thing."

Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no best. The most important thing for you now is to spend your energy on studying, and strive to pass the August college exam in one fell swoop, so that your mother can be proud and proud, and those who look down on us will regret it."

"Okay, I will work hard." Xu Fan responded.

Xu Fan knew that his mother had suffered a lot of grievances since his father's death, and he had been holding his breath in his heart, just thinking about waiting for him to pass the examination to be a scholar so that he could be proud and proud.

Shen Jia didn't know that the Xu siblings had a dispute because of her, and she didn't care even if she knew.

At this time, she was packing her luggage and preparing to go to Rongshan Village tomorrow.

This time I go to Rongshan Village, it should take several days to come back, so I need to pack more things.

Early the next morning, Shen Jia and Shen Hao had breakfast and headed to the county seat.

Shen Jia is still dressed as a boy.

Mrs. Gu looked at the retreating figures of the two brothers and sisters with worried eyes: "Brother Yun, is it okay for them to go to Rongshan Village like this?"

Shen Zhuoyun put his arm around Gu's shoulders and comforted him: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. You have to believe them."

Beili Village is in the south of Yi County, and Rongshan Village is in the northeast of Yi County.

Shen Jia and Shen Hao decided to go to the rice noodle shop to find out the route before heading into the mountain to avoid taking the wrong path.

Business at the rice noodle shop was very good in the morning, and the three shopkeepers, Mo, were so busy that they couldn't even touch the ground.

Shopkeeper Mo saw Shen Jia and Shen Hao and hurriedly came over to greet them.

Shen Jia greeted Shopkeeper Mo with a smile and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Mo, I'm here to ask you how to get to Rongshan Village? I hope you can tell us in detail." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I want to ask, why does Young Master Shen want to go to Rongshan Village?" Shopkeeper Mo asked tentatively.

After Ms. Lu took the medicine prescribed by Shen Jia, her health was more than half better. Shopkeeper Mo was deeply grateful to Shen Jia. I heard that they were going to Rongshan Village. Shopkeeper Mo knew that it was dangerous, but it was hard for him as an outsider to stop them, so he thought of asking to see if he could stop them.

"Looking for a special medicinal material. I heard someone said that I had seen it in Rongshan Village, so I planned to go and see it myself." Shen Jia said with a smile.

"Young Master, please listen to the next advice and go home! It's very dangerous in Rongshan Village. If you need any medicinal materials, draw a picture for me and I'll ask the people in Rongshan Village to help you find them."

Shen Jia bent down and bowed in salute: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Mo, for the tip, but we still have to go to Rongshan Village in person."

Shopkeeper Mo saw that Shen Jia didn't listen to the advice and didn't say anything more. He took out a piece of paper and carefully drew the route for Shen Jia. He also marked every fork in the road, which was very attentive.

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Mo."

"You're welcome, please be careful."

Today is a big market in the county town, and people from nearby villages are carrying their own things to sell at the market.

The crowds are surging, and there are chickens, ducks, piglets, fish, pork... everything is available.

The two of them walked from the lively market to the bustling streets, passed through sparsely populated alleys, and finally reached the intersection into Rongshan Village.

This road is not too small, and two ox carts can be driven side by side. Shopkeeper Mo said that if you enter from this main road, you can go to Longzhou by taking the small road to the east, and you can get to Douzhou by taking the small road to the west.

Along the way, there were pedestrians in twos and threes carrying items bought from the street.

These people start carrying their own things to the county town at dawn to sell them, and when they are sold out, they buy the items they need and then bring them back.

After passing three intersections, no other pedestrians were seen on the road, and the speed of the two slowed down.

The wild flowers of all colors were colorful and fragrant, just like a beautiful picture. There were countless wild fruits everywhere. The two of them didn't refuse anyone who came, and they just wiped them and started to eat them.

Shen Jia broke off a bunch of purple-red sour vine seeds and asked, "Brother, do you know what this is called and what its effects are?"

Shen Hao shook his head: "I don't know. During the Qingming Festival in previous years, Xu Fan and I often put it into the bamboo, and then punched it in with another small bamboo, and then it made a crackling sound. It was fun. "

"This is called Sour Vine Seed, and in some places it is also called Diamond Seed. Its roots and leaves can disperse blood stasis, relieve pain, astringe and stop diarrhea, and treat swelling and pain from bruises, enteritis, diarrhea, pharyngitis, and low gastric acid. The decoction of the leaves is also used in surgery. For washing medicine, the young tips and leaves can be eaten raw, and have a sour taste. The fruit has the effects of strengthening the blood, appetizing, and preventing pregnancy. Therefore, it is not suitable for pregnant women. The roots and leaves are used for veterinary purposes to treat cattle injuries, abdominal distension, fever, and thirst."

"I didn't expect sour cane seeds to be quite useful. Are there many weeds and wild fruits in the mountains that have medicinal value?" Shen Hao asked curiously.

"Yes." Shen Jia finished eating the sour vine seeds in his hand and picked up a handful on the side of the road. The main root was thick, the stem was thin, dark reddish purple, the young part was densely covered with yellowish-brown hairs, and the even-numbered pinnate compound leaves were alternate. Twining vines.
