Chapter 15 The cold strychnine
"Xiaojie is tired, right?" asked Zhang Dashan as he walked back on the somewhat rugged mountain road.
"It's okay, Dad, how long will it take?" Zhang Xiaojie asked, taking a breath and reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Zhang Dashan saw Zhang Xiaojie's face crimson, after all, it was his eldest daughter, the first daughter, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, reached out and took the basket on Zhang Xiaojie's back and said, "It's fast, when you get to the place, you can play by yourself, you can't pick it up anyway." “
Hearing Zhang Dashan's concern, Zhang Xiaojie felt that it was still very good to have a father, after all, she only had a sister in her previous life.
"Okay, why don't you go and put the rabbit sleeve in my father?" Zhang Xiaojie felt a lot more relaxed without the back basket.
"Okay, you can take it and play," Zhang Dashan saw that Xiao Jie was not so struggling, so he quickened his pace and walked halfway up the mountain.
Carefully follow Zhang Dashan's footsteps, Zhang Xiaojie originally thought that this time he could rely on his understanding of Chinese herbal medicine or wild plants in his previous life to pick some precious plants that had been missed, but he ignored the fact that he was only seven years old, which caused almost all his physical strength to climb the mountain, and he didn't even have the mind to see the scenery.
Now it is the time when the summer solstice has not arrived, although the weather is hot, but it is not hot, and it comes out early, and now there is dew on the leaves, Zhang Xiaojie's clothes and pants are a little wet, and because it has not been developed, the road is more difficult to walk, although there are crisp birdsong in the forest, and the green trees are swaying with the mountain wind.
But Zhang Xiaojie now just wants to reach the destination quickly and catch the rabbit to pay for the desire to eat meat, of course, if there is a necessary benefit for crossing, it is also excellent to dig ginseng or something up the mountain.
"Xiaojie will come to this path after walking through it," Zhang Dashan turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaojie.
"Well, okay, Dad, then let's go over quickly" Zhang Xiaojie looked at the lush grass and trees in front of her, and could barely see where the road was, so she could only walk cautiously along the place where Zhang Dashan walked.
No wonder hunting is so difficult, there are so few medicine pickers, and even the road in the mountains is so difficult to walk, if it weren't for the good master Zhang Dashan used to recognize, and there is medicine to avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants, I'm afraid Zhang Xiaojie wouldn't dare to follow up the mountain, after all, there is no serum that is convenient for detoxification.
Although there is an antidote within 100 steps of a viper, you must first know the antidote.
The higher you climb, the more difficult the road on the mountain is, perhaps because there are few people going up the mountain, there is almost no road, Zhang Dashan took Zhang Xiaojie to walk through the path, and suddenly turned into a col with a relatively wide field of vision.
The ground here is relatively flat, with a variety of vegetation growing on the ground, and the morning sun shines on a few tangled tall trees, which bear clumps of small red fruits, which look particularly cute.
These peppercorns should have grown here for a long time, the trunks of these four pepper trees have the thickness of Zhang Xiaojie's thighs, perhaps because they have not been pruned, the pepper trees grow with twisted branches, the leaves are flourishing, and the number of peppercorns is quite large.
As soon as Zhang Dashan saw that the place had arrived, he took out Zhang Xiaojie's small basket from the big basket he was in and put it on the ground, and handed Zhang Xiaojie the knot that he had made last night and used a set of rabbits, and said, "Xiaojie, take it to play, but you can't go far, the medicine bag on your body can't be lost, and my father is picking some Qin pepper here." ”
"Okay, Dad, I'm going to play. Zhang Xiaojie took the knot and said.
Zhang Xiaojie saw that Zhang Dashan had begun to pick the peppercorns on the pepper tree, so she began to circle around this place, wanting to place the knot against the position that Ma Yuan said in her mind.
In the past two months, in addition to adapting to the life of the farmer's little Lori, try to listen to this era as much as possible, and then experiment with his own abilities, during this period, Zhang Xiaojie found that the distance between her communication and Ma Yuan should not exceed one thousand meters.
In view of the previous fifty years of gastrodia, Zhang Xiaojie found that she might only be able to feel the medicinal value of plants that are relatively old, and other trees and plants that are very old at first glance have no feeling at all, and there should be no side effects.
Zhang's is only because of some oil and water in the past two months, so he has no opinion on being able to catch rabbits and eat some meat.
After such an experiment, Zhang Xiaojie determined that he should be able to sense some medicinal plants that are older than others, and it is not clear how to get the ability, but according to the theory of reading novels in the previous life, it should be because the spiritual power of the first life is relatively high.
As for this era, it should be similar to the Tang Dynasty, even if Zhang Xiaojie took a look at the books of this era by sorting out the books for Xiaoshi, if it weren't for the body in front of him to go to the private school to eavesdrop and learn, maybe Zhang Xiaojie didn't know a word, after all, it was good to know some traditional Chinese characters in the previous life, and now the book on it is obviously the official book, and there is also a regular script.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaojie became illiterate, and could only say that he could not write, and he could not read, and after taking some time to accept it, he still inquired that this dynasty was called the Northern Dynasty, and it was founded for more than 200 years, and now the situation is stable, and he should be located in the southwest, similar to Sichuan, the country of abundance in the previous life, with abundant products.
Zhang Xiaojie has not heard of this dynasty, and the emperor's surname is Zhou, the last dynasty is said to be the Qi Dynasty, and it is also a dynasty that has never been heard of, maybe this is the so-called overhead when reading novels in the previous life, so it's okay, you can convince yourself that you went to another time and space, isn't it.
Zhang Xiaojie is still very satisfied with the stability of the situation, after all, if there is a war, it is better to commit suicide directly, you must know that Zhang Xiaojie's golden finger does not have the ability to protect itself.
The folk customs of the Northern Dynasty are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty, there can be female households, women can go to the street without masks, they can run shops, and the status of merchants is relatively high, at least not lowly, and there is no requirement that the children of merchants cannot conduct scientific examinations, of course, the status of farmers is relatively high.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the future Chamber of Commerce affecting the small stone scientific expedition, for this Zhang Xiaojie still thinks that this Northern Dynasty is very good.
Zhang Xiaojie, who had already circled around this small place twice, finally found the place that Ma Yuan said was suspected to be a rabbit nest.
It turned out that behind the pepper tree, in a hidden place with lush grass, Zhang Xiaojie put three knots there, hoping to catch the rabbit, but the cunning rabbit three holes, Zhang Xiaojie could only judge its other entrances around the hole, so he turned around the hole again.
"Ah" Zhang Xiaojie instinctively screamed, and then she could only try her best to roll down with her head in her hands, fortunately, maybe it was the lush vegetation in summer, Zhang Xiaojie didn't feel much pain, but inertia made Zhang Xiaojie roll out of a long distance.
"Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Dashan's anxious voice came from above.
Zhang Xiaojie looked at the passage from top to bottom that rolled out between the lush branches and leaves, and the corners of her mouth twitched, she got up and looked at her body, just stained with some blades of grass and some small abrasions on her wrists, and immediately replied after hearing Zhang Dashan's anxious voice, "It's okay, Dad, I fell from it, I didn't fall." “
"Xiaojie, don't be afraid, Dad will go down and pull you up immediately. Hearing Zhang Xiaojie reply that he was not injured, Zhang Dashan's voice revealed some relaxation.
"Okay, Daddy, slow down" Zhang Xiaojie saw that the distance was not too high, put down the worries in her heart and prepared to wait obediently for Zhang Dashan to come down and pick her up, after all, she couldn't climb up with short arms and legs.
Zhang Xiaojie felt a little tired and sat down on the ground, and suddenly remembered that she had just bumped into something before stopping, but that thing was not hard and elastic, and if you think about it carefully, it seems to be a long strip, and Zhang Xiaojie's goosebumps stood up in an instant.
He quickly got up from the ground, looked around, and muttered "Don't be a snake, don't be a snake......
