big sister headed home

Chapter 11

"Glowing grass? Where is it? Sister, I want to see it too." Dou Lin on the side heard the first one running over cheerfully, "Looked down but was disappointed." I saw that the grass that the elder sister said had no light at all.

Dou Lin looked at Dou Hua suspiciously, "Sister, you read it wrong, this grass just grows differently from other grasses, it doesn't shine."

"Didn't you see, what about the two of you, Dou Qing, Dou Cui?" Dou Hua asked again, pointing at the glowing grass.

Dou Qing and Dou Cui looked in the direction of Dou Hua's finger, but saw a grass that was different from the other grasses around them, 'did not see the light', so they shook their heads.

Dou Qing squatted down, flipped the leaves of the grass with his hands, and looked carefully, saying, "I didn't see any light either, but I seem to have seen this kind of grass." After finishing speaking, Dou Qing frowned and tried to recall.

Seeing several people, Dou Hua said that she hadn't seen the white light, so she looked at the grass a few more times without giving up. The white light of the grass was still clearly visible, and she couldn't help but wondered, could it be that only I could see the white light, and others could see it? not reach?

"Sister, this grass is not bright, you just misread it." Xiao Dou Hong squatted down solemnly to look at the grass, and raised her head after a while and said to Dou Hua.

"Yeah, what Dou Hong said is right. Eldest sister read it wrong. She must have been dazzled by the sun." Dou Hua touched Dou Hong's head and agreed that this kind of unbelievable thing should not let the little ones understood.

At this time, Dou Qing who was next to him uttered joyfully,

"Sister, I remembered that this kind of grass is a kind of hemostatic grass. When Dad was there, he picked it on the mountain. Dad also said that this kind of herb can be sold for money, so he sold the picked herb to The pharmacy in the county town, I went to the city with my father to sell herbal medicine once, so I still remember some." Dou Qing said what he remembered, and when he talked about his father, his happy eyes flashed with sadness, and his face also became sad.

"It would be great if father and mother were here. Father knows the most, and mother loves us the most."

The little ones were a little sad when they heard the words, the joy of discovering the herbal medicine was overshadowed by the sad atmosphere.

After Dou Hua heard it, her body reacted instinctively, her eyes were red, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Dou Hua knew that this was some obsession of the original owner.

"Okay, okay, don't feel bad, we have to live a good life, father and mother haven't left us, they are watching us in the sky, let's all be happy, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable when they find out." Dou Hua blinked hard a few times, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"Qing'er, is this herb really a hemostatic herb? Are you reading that right?" Dou Hua changed the subject and started talking about the grass in front of her again.

"Well, that's right, that's right, I remember it very clearly, this leaf is like this." Dou Qing said.

"I also remember that my father sold herbs, but I don't remember what the herbs looked like." Dou Lin scratched his head trying to recall the appearance of the herbs his father picked back. There was only a rough outline. He was young, but he had An impression, I can't remember the specifics.

Dou Cui stepped forward to take a few glances, nodded and said, "Brother said, I remembered it too. Dad did pick this kind of herb from the mountain, I remember some."

With the approval of Dou Qing and Dou Cui, Dou Hua also has some bottoms in her heart.

"Since it's a medicinal herb, let's dig it out. The forest is so big, so we may find more herbs. When we sell mushrooms, we also sell them to pharmacies." After Dou Hua finished speaking, she took out With a small shovel, dig out the herbs and roots, shake off the grass at the roots, and carefully place them on top of the mushrooms in the basket.

"Yes, medicinal herbs can also be sold for money. Let's look for more, and find more." As soon as Dou Lin heard that they could be sold for money, he temporarily put aside his sorrow just now and buried himself in the grass to find it. The area was searched, but no second herb was found.

After Dou Hua knew that she could see the halo of white light around the plants, in addition to picking up mushrooms, she would also take a closer look at some plants with strong halo around her. Related, Dou Hua didn't think about anything else, she just thought that this special ability could help her family live a better life.

Soon, Dou Hua made a new discovery. It turns out that not all plants exude a white halo, some exude a faint red halo, and some have a darker red color, while exuding a green halo. The plants with these two halos are exactly the two kinds of poisonous mushrooms that the original owner knew. Those with darker red halos are more poisonous. If they are ingested by mistake, they will cause vomiting and diarrhea in mild cases, and unconsciousness and life-threatening in severe cases.

Dou Hua has a new understanding of her ability to identify the medicinal properties of plants. Plants emitting a faint white halo are ordinary plants, and the medicinal properties contained are not strong, which can be ignored, and the halo is as obvious as white light Plants with a certain degree of light can be used as medicine, the stronger the white light, the better the medicinal properties; and those with red halos are also medicinal, but the toxicity is stronger.

Dou Hua was very happy with this recognition, and put the way of making a fortune, such as collecting herbs and selling money, on the agenda.

Dou Hua led the little ones, and while they were picking mushrooms, they dug up and collected the glowing herbs. For the fact that Dou Hua could always pick herbs, the little ones were very envious, and they all Looking around in the grass with wide eyes open, except for Dou Lin who found a medicinal herb, the others found nothing.

"Elder Sister, you are so lucky, you can always find herbs, I only found one." Dou Lin said enviously.

"It's good if you find one. Your second sister and I haven't found it yet." Dou Qing said a little dejectedly. He recognized this herb, but he couldn't find it.

"Yeah, I can't find it either." Xiao Dou Hong said immediately, her brows were frowning, obviously disappointed.

"..." Dou Hua felt embarrassing in her heart, can I say that I was given a golden finger by God, the luminous grass is so obvious, I don't think it's hard to see~
"Don't worry, look slowly, maybe you will find it in a while." Dou Hua comforted, thinking that if you find the medicinal herb in a while, don't rush to dig it, let a few small discoveries quietly, so that it will be considered as their discovery. up.So in the next journey, Dou Hua deliberately showed the herb she found to a few children. Sure enough, the children were very happy when they found the herb, and their drooping little faces regained their smiling appearance.

"Sister, look, I found another medicinal herb." Dou Lin happily waved the stick in his hand, and patted the surrounding grass twice.

"Well, that's right, wait for the eldest sister to dig it out." Dou Hua said, in fact, she didn't know much about how to gather herbs, and didn't know which parts of the herbs were useful, so she just used the most stupid way to dig up the roots of the herbs. The plants are not too big, mostly the size of a palm. Dou Hua reckons that these herbs haven't grown up yet. She has dug up the bigger ones as much as possible, and let go of some smaller ones.

Dou Hua led a few young ones and spent half a day in the woods, digging more than [-] herbs, picking up half a basket of mushrooms, picking a lot of fresh and tender wild vegetables, and even a basket of grass for the rabbit. Along the way, I also gained a lot, and the baskets and baskets I brought contained a lot of things.

Because there were a few young ones around, Dou Hua didn't take them to the forest next to the mountain, but just moved around in the middle of the forest.

There are quite a few people in the village who come out to pick up mushrooms. The women who are idle at home basically come out with baskets. Dou Hua and the others are walking around in the woods. They meet many people along the way. There are many people. Too much is not enough to pick up, some people came late and didn't pick up a few, and those who picked up too much, like Dou Hua and the others, were only half of the basket.Most people pick up enough mushrooms to fry a dish, and if there are too many, there will be nothing.

Near noon, the people who came out to pick up mushrooms began to return to the village in twos and threes, and some returned to the village even earlier.

Dou Hua and her siblings fell behind the crowd because they spent a lot of time threshing grass and digging herbs for the rabbits.

Dou Hua carried the heaviest rabbit grass basket on her back, and Dou Qing carried the basket containing mushrooms and medicinal herbs, and led Dou Cui and the two little ones back.

While walking, there was a rooster crowing in the grass more than [-] meters ahead, followed by a pheasant jumping out of the grass, fluttering its wings, dropping a few chicken feathers, and aiming at Dou without thinking. Charged in the direction of several people.

Dou Hua's five senses are sharp now, which is different from ordinary people. She heard the movement when the pheasant first appeared, and quickly put the grass basket behind her on the ground, and took the bow and arrow from her back neatly. It's just a clock.

When the pheasant was rushing this way, Dou Hua's arrow also arrived, and the arrow pierced through the pheasant's stomach.

The original owner had learned archery from her father, Dou Sanshan, and her arrow skills were average, but when Dou Hua was able to shoot a flying pheasant at such a close distance, it was definitely related to her extraordinary five senses now.Hearing and seeing the hand, Dou Hua concentrated instantly, and Dou Hua only felt that she had entered a special state, and she made a series of movements naturally.When she recovered from the special state, the pheasant had already collapsed ten steps away from her.

"Elder Sister, you are so powerful, you shot a pheasant." Dou Lin clapped his hands and cried, very happy, and started thinking about picking up the pheasant.

Dou Hua frowned, and heard a voice from a distance in her ears, but she couldn't hear it clearly. She listened intently and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming towards them in the distance. As the distance got closer, Dou Hua heard these The footsteps sounded of someone or something unknown, and hurriedly shouted, "Dou Lin, don't move, Dou Qing, Dou Cui and Dou Lin, Dou Hong, quickly find a place to hide, something is coming."

As soon as Dou Hua finished speaking, she drew another arrow from her back and put it on the bow. The bow was fully drawn, and she looked straight at the place where the chicken flew out, and she was ready for battle.

"Sister, be careful." Dou Qing said anxiously, picked up Dou Hong, and Dou Cui pulled Dou Lin, and hid in a farther place at the fastest speed.
