Chapter 50: Ye Yuyao's past
"By the way, Yuyao, I have something to do tomorrow, and I may not be able to come to you. After eating, Han Lin suddenly remembered that he had other arrangements for tomorrow, so he specially reminded Ye Yuyao before leaving.
"Okay, Master, do you have something to do, do you need my help?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I've run out of raw materials for making talismans, and I need to go to the mountains to get some more. ”
"......" Originally, when Han Lin said that something couldn't come, Ye Yuyao wasn't so worried, but when she heard Han Lin say that she was going to enter the mountain, Ye Yuyao's face became subtle. She still remembered that the first time she saw Han Lin, it was in the mountains, and Han Lin found her because she was lost.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Ye Yuyao finally decided to accompany Han Lin into the mountain together: "Master, I'll accompany you, it just so happens that I also need to pick some more herbs." ”
Han Lin didn't know the little Jiujiu in Ye Yuyao's heart, he just thought that Ye Yuyao was indeed going to collect medicine, so he readily agreed: "Of course you can, but we are all leaving, who will take care of the four grandmothers?"
"In the past, I used to cook for A-Niang in advance, and it was warm in the pot, and A-Niang could eat it directly when she wanted to. Ye Yuyao explained.
"Is this okay?" Han Lin was still a little worried.
"No problem, A-Niang said, she can just take advantage of the fact that I am not there to go out of the house to breathe. ”
What Ye Yuyao said also makes sense, always letting the fourth grandmother stuff in the room is indeed not conducive to the recovery of the body. But with the fourth grandmother's character of being afraid that Ye Yuyao would be infected, it was only possible to go out of the house to breathe when Ye Yuyao left, so this can be regarded as a multiplicity.
"Then tomorrow morning I will come to treat the fourth grandmother, cook by the way, and then we will go into the mountains together. ”
"Good"
——————
In the dense forest in the morning, some faint mist has not yet dissipated, and from a distance it looks like a light veil dancing by a fairy. Walking in the mountains and forests, the cool autumn breeze mixed with the fresh air blowing on people's bodies makes people feel refreshed, and the fatigue caused by long walks is also soothed.
"By the way, Yu Yao, I haven't asked you yet, where do you usually pick herbs!" In the narrow mountain path, a male voice suddenly came, breaking the tranquility of the mountain forest.
"I don't have a fixed location, I usually go around the outskirts of the mountain, and whatever medicine I can can collect. He was answered by a crisp little girl's voice.
With the conversation, I saw two figures, one large and one small, slowly walking out of the narrow mountain path. Judging from the outfits of the two from a distance, the coarse cloth clothes and the basket behind them are completely two civilians picking mountain goods.
But when the two walked in, it was obvious that whether it was speech and demeanor or age and appearance, these two people were still very different from ordinary mountain people.
The older boy looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and from his skin that had not been exposed to much wind and sun, it could be seen that this should also be a pampered son. The little girl on the side is only a little over ten years old, with a thin body and a little baby fat face, she is a little Lori. This kind of combination is really not common in this kind of mountains, except for Han Lin and Ye Yuyao, there will be no one else.
That's right, this is exactly the Han Lin duo who came out to hunt, if you want to ask them why they are dressed so strangely, it will be inseparable from Ye Yuyao's suggestion. Because this little girl would go up the mountain from time to time, and the vines and branches on the mountain were thick, ordinary brocade would easily be scratched, so Ye Yuyao came up with the idea of changing into coarse cloth clothes before going up the mountain.
It was because of this last time that Han Lin mistook Ye Yuyao for an ordinary mountain dweller, if it weren't for that little basket, he might not have noticed that the little girl was actually the eldest lady of the Ye family, this might be fate.
This time, before Han Lin entered the mountain, he also specially bought a coarse cloth clothes, and changed them when he entered the mountain. Don't say it, you don't have to worry about the damage to your clothes, so your activities are much more comfortable. Han Lin felt that with his current state, it should not be a problem to easily complete today's goal, but it was a pity that he ignored Ye Yuyao.
Since Ye Yuyao was by his side, he couldn't take a too remote road like before. Although it is much safer this way, you don't have to worry about getting lost like before, but the speed of this journey is much slower, and it is unlikely that spirit beasts will appear on the path.
In addition, Ye Yuyao's performance also made Han Lin frequently distracted. Based on Han Lin's understanding of herbs, he found that many times when the two of them passed by some places where herbs grow, Ye Yuyao had no intention of staying. But when she encountered some weeds, Ye Yuyao would stop and carefully pick the weeds and put them in her basket, which really made Han Lin very confused.
After Ye Yuyao picked a weed again, Han Lin finally couldn't help but ask, "Yuyao, what are you picking?"
"This, this is a cool-blooded grass, Master, don't you know?" When answering, Ye Yuyao also specially held the weeds she picked in her hand so that Han Lin could see it carefully.
"Uh-" From Ye Yuyao's serious expression, Han Lin felt that she hadn't lied to herself. But it stands to reason that Ye Yuyao has been picking herbs for so long, and she shouldn't be mistaken!
"Oh, I really can't tell the difference between these herbs" In order to find out the reason without hurting Ye Yuyao's self-esteem, Han Lin turned the conversation around and asked, "By the way, you are so young, who did you learn the ability to recognize herbs?"
The matter of "this ......" recognizing herbs seemed to evoke some memories that Ye Yuyao didn't want to remember, so she didn't say anything for a long time.
It wasn't until Han Lin planned to change the topic and no longer dwell on this issue that Ye Yuyao whispered: "Actually, no one has taught me. ”
It turned out that Ye Yuyao didn't know how to identify herbs at all, and the reason why she picked these herbs started from the first time she picked them.
Said before. Ye Yuyao came out to collect medicine to sell money to subsidize her family, but in fact, the first time she came out to collect medicine, it was not to sell.
She just felt that since there were so many people picking herbs outside, why couldn't the herbs that her mother needed be picked back from the mountains through her efforts, even if she couldn't pick back all the amount, then finding a part of it could relieve a lot of pressure.
As the so-called long-term illness became a doctor, Ye Yuyao, who often decocted medicine for the fourth grandmother, thought that she had already known the herbs that her mother needed.
So one early in the morning, without greeting anyone, she ran alone into the mountains a few miles outside the city.
After arriving in the mountains breathlessly, she thought that the next process of picking herbs would be very smooth, but after seeing the dense woods with her own eyes, she realized that she was still thinking too simply.
There are many plants in the mountains, and even if they are the same plant, they will show different forms depending on the place where they grow. Therefore, Ye Yuyao, who was full of confidence, was quickly dazzled by the huge and complex plants.
And the longer she stayed, the more she couldn't remember what the herbs she wanted to pick looked like, but Ye Yuyao was not the kind of person who gave up easily, although she couldn't remember what she wanted to pick, but she still relied on her vague memory to pick some plants that she thought were very similar to the herbs she needed.
After returning to Yecheng, she found a lot of Chinese medicine stores and asked if these plants were herbs, although many shops coaxed her away without answering Ye Yuyao's questions, but fortunately, there was still a big pharmacy that received Ye Yuyao in the end. Recognized by an elderly doctor, he pointed out the herbs that could be used in the plants Ye Yuyao had picked.
And when he learned that Ye Yuyao chose to go to the mountains to collect medicine in order to dispense medicine for his mother, since the old man directly started business with Ye Yuyao, and then Ye Yuyao sent the herbs he picked to them, they would give Ye Yuyao some labor fees, and by the way, provide some of the medicinal materials her mother needed.
In this way, Ye Yuyao's behavior of picking herbs was on the right track, and according to the instructions of the old man, Ye Yuyao only needed to pick those rare "herbs", and the old Chinese medicine doctor of those herbs gave her a rough idea of how to distinguish them, and "Cool Blood Grass" was one of them.
After listening to Ye Yuyao's explanation, Han Lin also agreed with Ye Yuyao's point of view that no one had taught her to identify herbs, because that "old Chinese medicine doctor" was indeed not teaching Ye Yuyao.
Han Lin didn't mean that the doctor's teaching was simple, but because the doctor was talking nonsense!
Those "cherished herbs" and "cool blood grass" are all nonsense, and his words can also deceive a simple child like Ye Yuyao, and it is someone else, but anyone with a little life experience will know that the "herbs" he said are just weeds.
And the reason why these weeds rarely appear in this mountain is not because they are precious, but because they are not adapted to the environment here. Han Lin knew that one of the weeds could be seen everywhere in Western Qi, but when it came to the Black Iron Country, it had become a scarce vegetation.
Through this, Han Lin gradually tasted some unusual tastes. People who can accurately identify a variety of weeds that are scarce in the mountains should not be completely ignorant of pharmacology. In that case, he must have done it on purpose.
Before combining, Han Lin used the abnormal gaze he felt outside Ye Yuyao's courtyard, and Han Lin made a decision in his heart, I am afraid that this is a concession made by the Ye family for this little girl who has too much self-esteem.
Han Lin had wondered how a little girl could go in and out many times in such a dangerous jungle and always be safe. It seems that the Ye family has really done a lot silently for this little girl.
"Now, it's my turn to protect her, don't worry!"
