The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 147

The bright sun hangs in the blue sky, and a few white clouds are slowly changing on the side of the mountain not far away. The warm sunlight shines on the river surface, shining golden waves.

Shi Chuying stood by the river with her hands behind her back and looked into the distance, exhaling a long breath of gloom.Standing beside Shi Chuying, Chu Xu felt that she was like a caged bird, unable to fly high.But even so, he still wants to keep her by his side and spend the long life together in the future.

But the stomach is still tight right now, Chu Xu took Shi Chuying's hand and said: "...I'm starving, let's get some food first."

The two of them drilled in the mountains and forests for a whole morning and gained a lot. They also hunted two roe deer and a deer, and the guards gathered them together to watch them.Originally, Chu Xu planned to hunt a few rabbits, but Shi Chuying said that it was just cold and the animal's fur hadn't grown to its best, so it wasn't worth hunting.

A group of people found a shallow river, and built a simple stone stove by the river. When Shi Chuying came out, he put a bulging bag on his horse's back, and Shi Feng carried it over.

"Shall we eat fish or chicken?" Chu Xu asked while peeling a forked branch.

"It's winter, and there are no mushrooms on the mountain, so let's eat fish soup. Grill the pheasant."

Shi Chuying took out a deep pot with two ears from the bag, washed it in the river, filled another pot of clean water, and brought it back.Chu Xu took a simple fork and went to the upper reaches of the river to spear fish.

Shi Dian came back with some dry branches and used them as firewood to boil water, while Shi Feng went to wash and peel the pheasants.

Seeing that the two of them had quick hands and feet, Shi Chuying stopped worrying and yelled at Chu Xu and went into the nearby shallow forest.She went back to the place where Chu Xu shot the deer just now, in the withered grass under the snow, there should be something she was looking for.

Shi Chuying glanced at the location, and with a wave of her hand, a large expanse of snow rolled away like a tide, revealing all kinds of dead branches and leaves below.Shi Chuying looked over it inch by inch, and finally landed on a faint lilac withered grass in the weeds.

"That's it!"

Shi Chuying walked over in a few steps, squatted down, carefully pushed aside the entangled withered grass, and slowly pushed aside the years of humus. Sure enough, this thick humus still had some effect on the grass stems from the cold. The grass stalk under the strain 'Purple Stem Deer Grass' is still fresh.

The lavender and emerald stems are covered with a layer of light golden fluff. The grass stems that have been pulled out are two inches long, and even two thick deer-kick-shaped leaves remain.

It is estimated that this is due to the fact that there are too many beasts in the mountains, and the people who collect medicines are not very afraid to enter the mountains.

This place faces south and is protected by a layer of rotting grass, so it is rare that the soil below has not been frozen. Shi Chuying took out the shovel that she carried with her and slowly dug out this "Purple Stem Deer Grass".

Purple-stem deer grass, as the name suggests, is a purple-stemmed grass that animals like deer love to eat.Generally speaking, where deer live, this kind of healing and life-saving herbal medicine will exist. As the so-called coexistence, animals will also get sick. They do not have a professional doctor, but they naturally understand that they have found herbs to cure diseases and save lives. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Shi Chuying gently pinched this purple-stemmed deer grass and observed it carefully. This is a good folk medicine for treating Jin Chuang's bleeding.Although it is not comparable to the Jinchuang hemostatic medicine she refined, it is quite rare for ordinary people.With it, there are all the medicinal materials for Chu Xu's healing.Moreover, using this kind of purple-stemmed deer grass to refine Bailing Pill has the same effect. She can get materials nearby, so she doesn't have to travel so far.

Shi Chuying looked intently, and there were quite a few in this area, so she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

But if you are happy, you are happy, she will not exhaust the water to fish, if this purple-stemmed deer grass has roots, it can regenerate in the next year, so she just picks one of the two plants, this one digs the whole plant, and the next one just picks the stems and leaves it. Grassroots.So devoted to digging, he even forgot the time for a while, until Chu Xu came to find him.

"Why did you dig up the medicine again?" Chu Xu squatted beside her, seeing a lot of lavender grass in the jade box beside her, he couldn't help asking.

"There are still five days before grandfather's birthday. I plan to heal your old wounds when I go back today. Therefore, these fresh medicinal materials are prepared for you. Since you are here, help me pack them up, and I will hurry up." Shi Chuying has been very comfortable with Chu Xu since she followed Chu Xu into the mountains to collect medicine.

"These grass stems are put into a jade box; those with roots are wrapped in some soil and put in another box."

Chu Xu looked at what Shi Chuying had done by himself, and imitated it without saying a word.Shi Chuying looked at it and pointed out: "You don't need a lot of mud, a little is enough. Just plant it when you get back, it won't get in the way."

"What's the use of this grass?" Chu Xu has become a person who loves to learn since he picked tree snot. For their guards, the knowledge of these herbs may save lives one day.

"This is purple-stalked deer grass. If you mash a sword wound with this fresh grass and apply it, it can stop the bleeding immediately; moreover, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you can detoxify it if you apply it. .If the dog bites it, it's good to apply it, or you will die of 'fear of water' madness."

Chu Xu raised his eyebrows, so good? "Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?"

Shi Chuying rolled her eyes, childish! "I've told you all, how can the doctor make a living?
What's more, the same herbal medicine has dozens or even dozens of different varieties, and the folk names are also quite different, just like the difference between "jusheng Huainan and Huaibei".The doctor can't drag others to talk about it one by one.For example, in Wangyun Mountain, the deer grass has dark red stems with silvery hairs, and the medicinal effect is similar. "

Seeing her white hands working in the dry grass and mud, Chu Xu couldn't help saying, "How about I dig?"

Shi Chuying glanced at him with a smile, and said: "Let me do it, your hands are heavy, you can't touch this at all, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be compromised."
