I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 230 Want to go into the mountains

“I was wondering what kind of scary wild things are there in the mountains that make the villagers so afraid?”

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and chuckled.

 The family are all scholars, and no one goes into the mountains usually. Only the second child often goes into the mountains to cut firewood, but that man has a simple and honest personality and is very obedient. He said he would not take risks, so he has always been obedient and has never ventured into the mountains once.

Hearing his mother’s curious tone, Xiao Wu was stunned.

"I heard that wild animals in the mountains and forests also have different territories. There is a python, which is as thick as a roof beam, and its mouth is as big as the mouth of a well. It can swallow a person in one bite. There is also a blind bear, which is as strong as a cow and can slap a person. You can smash people’s heads to pieces.”

“I have heard these rumors since I was a child, there is nothing surprising about them.”

Hearing Xiao Wu’s tone, Bai Yunxi’s mouth twitched.

 “Has anyone seen it?”

"No, that's what everyone said. I heard that there was a famine in the past, and the village organized strong men to go hunting in the mountains. As a result, they met a blind bear, killing and injuring many people. From then on, I warned future generations not to go deep into the mountains."

Xiao Wu glanced at the dense mountain forest and shook his head.

“Everyone is talking about it anyway, but no one has actually seen it in detail.”

Bai Yunxi nodded. The original owner had memories of the famine. The old scholar once told her that it happened when her father was a child. It was estimated to be fifty years ago.

 Times have changed, and no one really knows what the situation is now.

 “Are there any hunters around us?”

 Hunters often travel through the mountains and forests, so they must have a clear understanding of the conditions in the deep mountains. It would be best if you inquire with them.

"Yes, but those hunters all live in the mountains. Except for selling prey, they never go out of the mountains. We are not familiar with them."

Xiaowu thought for a moment and told his mother truthfully what he knew. Then he looked up at Baiyunxi uneasily.

“Mom, don’t you want to go into the mountains for adventure?”

Looking at Xiao Wu’s doubtful eyes, Bai Yunxi chuckled.

"I have this idea. No one has entered the deep mountains for so many years, so there must be a lot of good things growing there. But the prerequisite is to ensure safety, and it is not advisable to venture in. If there are no familiar hunters to ask about the situation, my mother will not take the risk. "

Hearing her mother’s assurance, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

 ‘It’s better not to take risks,’

Just when he was thinking about what to say, he heard Li's surprised cry.

“Come and look, I found wild yam, a big yam seedling.”

Xiao Wu was so yelled at by her that he immediately diverted his attention and watched Mrs. Li waving to everyone on the hillside. Bai Yunxi asked her son to go over and help.

“Wild yam is a piece of stuff once you find it. You can dig it for a day, so go and get busy.”

"Okay, mom, just go there slowly."

Xiao Wu agreed, turned around and ran over. Seeing the second sister-in-law showing off the dug piece, she also picked up the small **** in her hand and started digging.

 “Be careful and try not to break it.”

Mrs. Li watched the five and four children come over to help. She grinned and gave an explanation. She followed a vine to the root and started digging.

Baiyunxi looked back at the deep mountains, and went to help with a basket on his back. After walking a few steps, he discovered a patch of isatis roots that were growing well.

The leaves have been beaten by frost and have withered, but they are not small in size and the roots should be thick. Isatis root is a very good Chinese herbal medicine. It is very good at clearing away heat, detoxifying, cooling blood and relieving pain. It is widely used.

 The leaves are called Daqingye, and they can also be used as medicine, and isatis root is easy to prepare. You only need to remove impurities, moisten it, slice it, and dry it.
