Chapter 37: Discovery

Regarding Xu Xiangwan's proposal, Gorou did not refuse. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition to having an impression of that wolfberry forest, Xu Xiangwan did not have any impression of other medicinal materials, and looking for it on the entire Yinlong Mountain was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ganquan County is located in a hilly area, the terrain is changeable, the four seasons are distinct, and there are many kinds of medicinal materials. The medicinal herbs suitable for autumn picking include wolfberry and banxia...... That's right, Banxia!

Xu Xiangwan's mind naturally came up with the paragraph just now.

"Brother, let's go to the valley and have a look." Xu Xiangwan swept away the previous depression and ran in front excitedly.

Yinlong Valley is mostly sandy soil, with sufficient water and less sunlight, which is just suitable for mid-summer growth.

Gorou smiled and shook his head: "Slow down and watch the road." ”

After saying that, he followed.

The brother and sister first went to the wolfberry forest to take a look, and saw that there were some wolfberries hanging on the branches, and they could probably pick twenty or thirty catties, but because they didn't bring tools such as backpacks, they discussed coming back early tomorrow morning.

"Brother, there are fish in this stream, catch them back and cook soup for my mother when we leave." Xu Xiangwan saw crucian carp more than half a foot long swimming in the stream, and said with a smile.

There are not many fish in the stream, Xu Xiang has already caught four in the evening, and now there are only two or three left, it is not enough for the family to eat, but it is just enough to cook soup for Zhang's family.

Gorou also nodded happily, thinking that there were a lot of fish in the Lingjiang River, and he could go and see if he could catch them when he was free.

Descending along the stream is a wilderness about a mile square, surrounded by mountains and overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and with each step a bush of grass and a series of footprints are trodden down.

After walking for a hundred steps, the shrubs gradually thinned out and the grass became more and more luxuriant, interspersed with many feet tall and heart-shaped leaves with three-leaf clusters.

Xu Xiangwan's eyes lit up.

Got it.

Xu Xiangwan carefully dug away the sand, and sure enough, he saw a spherical tuber with a diameter of about an inch: "It's really Banxia!" ”

Gorou frowned when he heard this: "Herbs? ”

Without answering Gorou's question, Xu Xiangwan stood up and searched eagerly around with his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a lot of Banxia, although the surroundings were still sparse, but the foot of the mountain not far away was connected.

Without bothering to answer Gorou's question, Xu Xiangwan ran briskly towards the foot of the opposite mountain.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that it was all Banxia that Xu Xiangwan grinned and laughed stupidly.

It's all white money!

Wulang followed behind Xu Xiangwan without landing a step, seeing his smirk, although there were doubts in his eyes, but more of them were doting.

After Xu Xiangwan's laughter stopped, Gorou smiled and said, "What kind of herbs are these?" ”

"Banxia." Xu Xiangwan's tone was brisk.

This afternoon is a happy event, which dilutes the unhappiness of the morning, and Xu Xiangwan is in a very happy mood at this time.

"Banxia?" Gorou tilted his head and repeated.

"Hmm. There are a lot of half-summers here, and it seems that we can make another profit. Xu Xiangwan didn't explain why he knew Banxia, and Gorou didn't ask.

Gorou bent down and was about to pull out a tree, but was immediately stopped by Xu Xiangwan's voice.

"Brother, be careful, this herb is poisonous." Xu Xiangwan said.

The brother and sister walked around the valley, and Xu Xiangwan also found a variety of herbs such as angelica and gastrodia, and even found a few He Shou Wu plants on the side of the cliff.

"I didn't expect this valley to be a treasure of feng shui, we are really lucky." The smile on Xu Xiangwan's face never disappeared.

Xu Xiangwan walked all the way and read all the way, some of the names of these medicinal herbs Wulang had heard of it, and some had not heard of it, but seeing that Xu Xiangwan was happy, he was also happy.

My sister is so capable, and he is proud of being an older brother.

After walking the entire valley, the sun was already in the west.

Because he didn't carry the collection tools with him when he went out, Xu Xiangwan didn't dig either.

The brother and sister caught a few small crucian carp two or three fingers wide in the stream, picked two banana leaves, and then hummed a little song along the way to home.

Walking back along the rugged mountain road, Xu Xiangwan felt that the whole pace was brisk.

When I got home, it was almost dusk.

"Brother, late, are you back? Hurry up and wash your hands and face and get ready to eat. After an afternoon of rest, Xu Qiuyi's mood has stabilized, and she looks no different from usual at this time.

After resting for an afternoon, Zhang's face also looked a lot better.

"Hey, big brother caught so many fish? You can make soup for your mother! Xiao Jiu's face was full of surprise.

Xiao Jiu is so intimate and sensible, Xu Xiangwan smiled even happier when he heard this: "Yes, make soup for my mother and Xiao Jiu." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at Zhang's family, then at the fish on the banana leaves, and shook his head seriously: "The soup is for my mother to drink, and Xiao Jiu eats." ”

Gorou smiled and touched Xiao Jiu's brain, and said approvingly: "Xiao Jiu is really sensible. ”

"Did you get the medicine back?" Xu Qiuyi turned her head and asked Xu Xiangwan.

Xu Xiangwan nodded with a smile and said, "That's natural, our brother is doing things, are you still not at ease?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Qiuyi also smiled, and then went to the kitchen with the fish in one hand and the medicine in the other, and came back after boiling the fish soup after a while.

Xiao Jiu saw that Wulang and Xu Xiangwan both had smiles on their faces, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he shook Xu Xiangwan's hand curiously: "Sister, is there anything good?" ”

"Hehe, I won't tell you." Xu Xiangwan pinched Xiao Jiu's little nose, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Xiao Jiu pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Sister doesn't kiss me anymore, and I won't tell Xiao Jiu if I have anything." ”

After speaking, he let go of his hand, deliberately turned his back, and used practical actions to express his dissatisfaction with Xu Xiangwan.

This kid is getting more and more savvy.

Although he knew that Xiao Jiu was pretending to be angry, Xu Xiangwan still shook his head amusedly, and coaxed: "Okay, okay, Xiao Jiu is the most well-behaved, who will kiss if my sister doesn't kiss you?" Let's eat first, and after running all afternoon, our stomachs are already hungry. While eating, I said to you, okay? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu seemed to change his face, and instantly smiled, revealing a neat little white tooth.

Due to Zhang's weak health, the brothers and sisters put the food on the bedside table, and the family ate in the north house.

It is still a pot of sorghum rice porridge with more vegetables and less porridge, a big bowl of cold garlic and cucumber without oil, and the fish soup is specially boiled for Zhang's, and none of the brothers and sisters refuse to eat it. However, Zhang has always loved children more than himself, and he still just said "If you don't eat it, I won't eat it", he insisted that his brothers and sisters drank a small bowl of fish soup.

While eating, Xu Xiangwan told his family what happened this afternoon.

When I heard that Gorou was able to work in a bookstore, Chang was the happiest.

Among the children, Zhang's most guilty is Xu Xiangwan, followed by Wulang.

Only Chang knows how sorry it is that Gorou can't study.

Since then, Gorou has shown an amazing talent for reading, and what Zhang teaches only needs to be memorized once and will not be forgotten for a long time.

It's a pity that although Zhang is literate, he doesn't have any books in his hands, and he doesn't know much, and what he can teach Goro is limited to the most basic things.

If Gorou could go to school like Dalang, maybe he would already be a child.

And Gorou is only ten years old, and Daro is already sixteen years old.
