Chapter 16 Occasional Space

The way home was obviously not as fast as it had been.

The cloth bag that Thyme brought was filled with what it had bought.

Potatoes, as well as some greens, corn and rice, were bought for two or three catties.

Thyme is only a little regretful now, and she should have carried a basket on her back when she came in the morning.

If you lift these things for a short time, you will obviously not be too tired, but the key is to carry more than a dozen pounds of things for a long time to walk, which makes thyme, which is not very good Thyme unbearable.

Originally, thyme didn't have to work so hard, as long as he hired a carriage in the town, he could send it directly to his home, but the carriage was too expensive to hire once, and he thought that he could buy seven or eight catties of potatoes for twenty yuan.

So just grit your teeth and walk for a while, pause, and bring your things home.

As soon as he returned home, Xiahou Yuchen was very sensible to summarize the contents of the cloth bag, and then took out the leftover buns and steamed buns from the morning, and then lit the fire to steam the steamed buns in the pot.

The thyme here took a breath and felt a lot more comfortable.

"We ate in the morning, and in the afternoon we followed my mother up the mountain again." Thyme felt that it was urgent now, because she should make more money, she rushed to a market today, and spent dozens of dollars, and she had to save money if she didn't have much money, and besides, Thyme saw that Xiahou Yuchen was already four years old, and it was the time to grow her body, and she wanted to hide and make money to raise Xiahou Yuchen's body.

Seeing Xiahou Yuchen's dry appearance, Thyme was also a little reluctant in her heart.

Xiahou Yuchen nodded very sensibly, he saw Thyme working so hard to bring things back today, just to have twenty dollars left, his heart was very touched, he knew that the family really had no money, because if it was before, Thyme would definitely come back by carriage.

Xiahou Yuchen wants to dig more herbs and come back, so that he can make more money for his family.

Xiahou Yuchen walked to Thyme's side very sensibly, squatted down and stretched out his little hand to pinch Thyme's calf.

As soon as that little hand touched thyme's leg, thyme's heart melted.

didn't stop Xiahou Yuchen's movements, Thyme just looked at Xiahou Yuchen with relief, with such a well-behaved and obedient son, it's worth it to work hard.

After eating, without much rest, Thyme carried the basket on his back and went up the mountain with a hoe and sickle.

Xiahou Yuchen was still carrying a cloth bag, and followed behind Thyme with a pair of small short legs.

As she passed by the village, Thyme distinctly heard the scolding from the village aunt's house.

Having already been on the mountain once yesterday, Thyme was already somewhat familiar with the back mountain behind the village, and Thyme did not pay too much attention to the herbs on the roadside as he did yesterday.

The elixir comes out of the high mountain, and the mountain behind the village is very high, and no one in the village knows how to use medicinal herbs, so the medicinal herbs in the back mountain are very well preserved, and there are many medicines that are very old.

Thyme tries to find those herbs that are often used, ephedra, burdock seeds, cimicifuga, ......, and Xiahou Yuchen's task is to collect cicadas.

There are a lot of cicadas that go up the mountain at this time, and if you look carefully, you can find them behind the leaves, on the branches of the trees, and at the roots.

Thyme searched as she walked, and the more she looked for it, the more surprised Thyme became.

This backmountain is simply a treasure trove of medicinal herbs.

Xiahou Yuchen followed behind, carefully observing the trunk.

Thyme said that the cicada molt is also a medicine, and it can treat head wind dizziness and skin heat. It also treats itchy skin. In short, cicadas are very useful.

The two of them had reached the top of the mountain unconsciously, Thyme only felt that she was a little out of breath, and Xiahou Yuchen was no better, and after walking a few steps, she stopped to rest.

Thyme was in a good mood, because he had already collected a basket full of herbs along the way, and Xiahou Yuchen had also collected a few cicadas.

"In the morning, let's rest and go down the mountain! It's not too early. Thyme said in a good mood.

Standing on the top of the mountain, a large bluestone mountain, with a bird's-eye view of the entire Yunjiaao, can only see the farmland piece by piece, and the people working like ants in the fields.

The child's temperament is already active, and it is the first time for Xiahou Yuchen to climb such a high mountain.

The top of the mountain is actually very flat, and Xiahou Yuchen shuttles back and forth in the woods.

Suddenly, Xiahou Yuchen called thyme in surprise: "Mother, come quickly, I saw a ginseng so big!" ”

After Xiahou Yuchen finished speaking, he lay on the ground and slowly scraped the dead branches and leaves covering the ginseng with his hands.

Thyme didn't hear this, she was also a little surprised, and hurriedly walked in front of Xiahou Yuchen.

There is nothing peculiar about the ginseng leaves in front of me, and even from the leaves, it is concluded that this ginseng is not big. But this is just for the layman, but the thyme can see at a glance that this ginseng is very large, at least it can be a hundred years.

"Don't move in the morning, let your mother come." Thyme immediately stopped Xiahou Yuchen's reckless move.

The roots on the top of the ginseng must be carefully dug so that they cannot be broken. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the drug will be greatly reduced.

Thyme looked at the little rhizome that Xiahou Yuchen had planed out.

The discovery was really big.

"This should be a century-old ginseng, Chen'er, just watch from the side, my mother will dig this ginseng, the roots on it can't be broken, otherwise the value and medicinal effect will be greatly reduced." Thyme explained excitedly to Xiahou Yuchen.

Xiahou Yuchen looked at thyme with a surprised face, and was very excited.

"If this century-old ginseng is sold, how much silver will it be worth?" Xiahou Yuchen was not excited in his heart It was fake, and the hundred-year-old ginseng felt very rare when he thought about it, if it was really sold for money, thyme would not have to work as hard as it is now.

Thyme didn't know much about the price of ginseng in this era.

But 100-year-old ginseng is indeed very rare, and its value should be very high.

"For it should be worth some silver! This mother is not very clear, Chen'er should not talk to her mother, and her mother should be careful to dig this ginseng now. ”

Thyme doesn't want to be distracted.

The soil on the mountain is hard, and it is naturally difficult to dig up.

Thyme carefully shaved the ginseng little by little with a sickle.

Suddenly, Thyme didn't hold the scythe steadily, and the sharp tip of the scythe cut directly into Thyme's fingers.

Blood flowed out quickly.

The blood flowed down his fingers on the ginseng, and Thyme and Xiahou Yuchen didn't see that when the blood flowed on the ginseng, an imperceptible transparent mist entered Thyme's body along Thyme's wound.

"My mother is injured." Xiahou Yuchen also saw the blood stains on thyme's hands, and shouted with some distress.

Thyme stood up, looking at the drops of blood falling from her fingertips, and didn't have time to care if her fingers hurt or not.

Thyme was worried that the blood was dripping on the ginseng, and when Thyme took her finger away and looked at the ginseng on the ground, the scene in front of her made Thyme speechless.
