Chapter 10 Deerbite Grass (1)

After breakfast, the green bamboo filled a bamboo tube with cold boiled water, and wrapped wild vegetable cakes with washed lotus leaves. He took a sickle and a bamboo pry that he made by himself and put it on the back basket to prepare to go out.

"Sister, be careful." Qingshan looked at Qingzhu and said with some reluctance.

"Don't worry, sister knows, it's you, pay attention when you go to collect firewood, gather the firewood together with a rake, and be careful of worms. The sun is bright at noon, so you take a break after lunch, don't be in a hurry Get out." Qing Zhu said, pushing open the courtyard door and walking outside.

"Well, sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Qingshan said, and followed Qingzhu to the gate of the courtyard, with a look of reluctance.

"Look at you, you say you're a man, why are you still following me? It's not like elder sister won't come back." Qing Zhu looked at the green shirt and smiled.

"What are you talking about, sister? I'm just worried about sister and want to watch sister go out." Qingshan stopped in embarrassment. To be honest, he really wanted to go to the mountains with sister, but it's a pity Sister forbid...

"Okay, you go back quickly, pack up and go out soon, dig wild vegetables in the morning and gather firewood in the afternoon, your work is not easy, you are not allowed to go out at noon, you can go out until the sun is not so poisonous. By the way, When you are gathering firewood, if you see cicadas sloughing off, remember to pick them up, they are also medicinal materials." Qingzhu looked at Qingshan and warned.

"Sister, I understand. But you, you must be careful when you are alone in the mountains. Otherwise, I will not allow you to go out in the future." Qingzhu looked at Qingshan seriously and said.

"Hey, the little ghost is still taking care of sister, why, so eager to be the head of the family?" Qingzhu smiled and said while looking at Qingshan.

"I was originally the head of the family." Qingshan straightened her chest and said solemnly.

"Okay, sis, I know that Qingshan is the head of the family, um, but it won't be your turn to be the head of the family until you grow up." Qingzhu walked out of the village while talking and laughing.

Qingshan was looking at the green bamboo at the gate of the courtyard, stretching his neck long, until he could no longer see the shadow of the green bamboo, then went back to pack the dishes and prepare to go out.

The roads in the mountains are not easy to walk at all, and the trees cover the sky and the sun, and there are many and poisonous mosquitoes.Inadvertently, on the exposed skin, I was bitten with a few small red bumps, which were itchy and painful.Qingzhu picked a few herbs on the side of the road, crushed them, and applied the juice on the bare skin to feel better.Moreover, these smells can repel mosquitoes, which made her feel much better for the next time.

In early summer, many herbs are growing very well, and there are no herbal pickers around here, so Qingzhu can pick them up cheaply. However, although there are a lot of these common herbs, they may not be able to sell for much if they add up. .Whether it is medicinal materials or anything else, one principle must be followed, that is: Rare things are more expensive.

Near noon, Qingzhu walked to a stream, his stomach was already growling with hunger, Qingzhu didn't intend to move on, so he found a clean stone by the stream and sat down.Take out the wild vegetable pancakes made in the morning and the cold boiled water in the bamboo tube, and slowly eat lunch.

Because of the lack of oil and salt, the pancakes made of rice bran and wild vegetables were extremely bitter. When I bit into my mouth, my throat was dry and itchy. Every bite seemed to be drilled into my throat, which was extremely unpalatable.Qingzhu frowned tightly, swallowing those wild vegetable pancakes with difficulty and cold boiled water.

If she could, she really wanted to throw these unpalatable pancakes far away without even looking at them, but what would she eat if she didn't eat them?If you don't eat these, where is the strength to dig the medicine...

After struggling to finish eating wild vegetable pancakes, Qingzhu had already drank the cold boiled water in a bamboo tube in the morning, what to do in the afternoon... Qingzhu felt a little headache looking at the bamboo tube that didn't even drop half a drop of water.

Is it possible to drink raw water?While thinking, Qingzhu glanced at the stream not far away.

The stream looks clean and clear, but I don't know if drinking it will cause diarrhea... I am not afraid of diarrhea, anyway, I have picked a lot of herbs that can stop diarrhea in my back, I am afraid that there will be parasites, and I will eat it until the time comes Inside, that's troublesome...

Qingzhu imagined that her stomach was being tossed by parasites such as roundworms and hookworms. She was already severely malnourished and became thinner and thinner. She looked like a skeleton with a layer of human skin... Thinking of this, Qingzhu shuddered, she shook her head violently, no, she can't drink unboiled water.

However, if you don't drink raw water, it means that Qingzhu must embark on the return journey, otherwise, in this hot day, if you faint in the mountains due to lack of water, you will be in trouble.

Just go back like this?

Qingzhu turned over the basket, no matter what, she was not reconciled.There are only some common herbs such as mint, fenugreek, purslane, hedyotis diffusa, chrysanthemum, and a small half-back basket, and I don’t know how much they can sell for...

Qingzhu looked at the back of his hand that had been cut countless times along the way and the palm with two blood blisters, and wondered where he had suffered such suffering before crossing.Even though I used to go to the mountains with my grandfather to collect herbs, my grandfather and the accompanying elders took care of me all the way...

From the time travel to the present, she has really suffered all the hardships that she didn't even dare to think about in her previous life, and that she couldn't finish in her entire life.

How about, go back... Qing Zhu bit her lip aggrievedly, looking at the scar on the palm and back of her hand.

But thinking about his promise to send Qingshan to school, thinking about the hard-to-eat wild vegetable pancakes just now, thinking about the egg in the morning, Qingzhu could only grit his teeth: "Forget it, let's take a look, maybe it will work." If you encounter a few precious herbs, then the half-day suffering this morning will not be in vain."

Saying that, Qingzhu walked upstream of the stream for a while, filled most of the bamboo tube with clear water, and went into the forest again.

However, before entering the forest, Qingzhu stopped in her tracks. She looked at the few herbs in front of her in disbelief, and grabbed her skirt to keep herself from screaming out of excitement.

Qingzhu carefully placed the basket on the ground, took the bamboo pry and slowly walked to the few herbs, covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, and carefully looked at the few herbs in front of her.

She was right, really right!This is the real deer's weed, which is a hundred times more precious than common deer's grass.

The herb is slender and glabrous, with five oval leaves on a stem near the ground.On it is a long flower stem, and on the tendon are ten small brown flowers that grow upside down.

According to legend, this round-leaved deer's grass has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.As a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Xia Qingzhu, who has been influenced by good traditional medicine since childhood, knows very well that although this round leaf deer nipple grass is not as exaggerated as bringing the dead back to life, it is definitely something that can save lives.

Qingzhu carefully pushed aside the leaves and stones next to the deer's grass with his hands, and then used a bamboo pry to pry it down half a foot away from the round-leaf deer's grass.The soil was a bit hard, and the green bamboo was afraid of hurting the roots of the deer nipple grass, so it didn't dare to use too much force.In fact, she didn't have much strength in her hands.

I have been busy like this for a long time, but I just pried a shallow hole.Qing Zhu frowned, looking at the blunt bamboo pry, thinking about going on like this, he wondered if he could dig out the deer weed when it was dark.

Gritting his teeth, he took out the sickle in the back basket and began to dig the soil.

Although this sickle is not suitable for prying soil, it is an iron tool, and it is much easier to use than a bamboo pry.

And at this time, Qingzhu couldn't care about her clothes at all, she couldn't use her strength while squatting, and if she stood and bent over, she was afraid that her hands would slip and hurt the Agrimony roundleaf, so Qingzhu simply knelt on the ground and carefully dug it up with a sickle.

After working for more than an hour, Qingzhu finally dug out a few deer grass with roots and soil.

But at this time, Qingzhu couldn't relax, she directly used her hands to carefully break off the soil piece by piece, and after working hard for almost half an hour, she finally cleared out a few sagegrass plants.Not many, only three.

After the deer grass was cleared out, Qingzhu picked a few more large leaves, went to the stream, washed the leaves first, and put them on the stones in the west.Then he carefully cleaned the precious round-leaf deer's grass.The green bamboo was washed very carefully and carefully, even the soil on the roots were washed clean, and none of the roots were broken.Until this time, Qing Zhu's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

However, this is not over yet, Green Bamboo picked a few more branches, broke them according to the size of the back basket, and put them on the upper part of the back basket to make a partition.Then the washed leaves were spread on the branches, and then the deer's weed was placed on the laid leaves, and covered with clean and soft leaves.

After finishing all this, Qingzhu let out a long sigh of relief, and felt that he was funny again.In fact, there is no need to be so nervous. Although this round-leaf deer nipple grass is a life-saving herb, it would be better to handle it gently with hands and feet, and it is not at all like her to be so careful and sweat for no reason.

But it's actually worth it, Qingzhu looked at the few plants of the round-leaved deer grass, as if he saw the fragrant white rice, the full oil tank, and the fat and greasy pork slices...

Thinking of this, Qingzhu couldn't help swallowing.Strange to say, in modern times, Qingzhu has always kept a respectful distance from fatty meat and the like. After time travelling, only a few days without oily meat, Qingzhu always thinks about the taste of fatty meat slices in his mind.In Qing Zhu's memory, that greasy fat meat has abruptly turned into something extremely delicious, and I wish I could eat a lot in one go, to satisfy my cravings.

It was getting late, so I picked up the green bamboo in the basket again, and walked quickly on the road down the mountain.The pannier on his back seemed to be much heavier and heavy, but the steps under his feet became lighter and lighter.

Days will always get better and better!
　In fact, the effect of the common deer's grass is similar to that of the common deer's weed, because the story requires that the deer's weed is exaggerated, please do not spray it. [Don't care about these details (*^__^*)]
