Chapter 3 Going up the mountain to collect medicine
The people in the village got up early.
It was dawn at the moment, and there were already people working in the fields outside.
Thyme carried the basket on his back, and the sickle and the small hoe were placed in the basket.
However, Xiahou Yuchen was carrying a cloth bag on his shoulder, and a pair of small short legs ran behind Thyme, trying to keep up with Thyme's pace.
On weekdays, thyme rarely walks out of the house, and everyone in the village knows that at this time, when they see thyme coming out with a basket on their backs, they all look at it curiously.
Naturally, gossip is indispensable.
In line with the principle of not listening and not caring, Thyme ignored the pointing and pointing of the people in the village, and directly took Xiahou Yuchen to the back of the village.
I don't know how much the cheap husband hates the original owner, and he actually left the original owner in this remote place, this village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one path out of the village.
And according to the situation in memory, it takes an hour to walk from this village to the nearest market.
Behind the village are rolling hills.
In his memory, Thyme had never been to the mountain, and even the way up the mountain had to be pointed out by Xiahou Yuchen.
"Chen'er, are there any beasts on the mountain behind here?" Thyme asked with some concern.
Xiahou Yuchen thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "I used to hear the children in the village say that there are leopards on this mountain, but I haven't seen them, but there are a lot of wild boars, I have seen people in the village several times, hunting and shooting wild boars, mother, if you just go up the mountain to see, let's not go into the mountain!" It's good to walk around outside, but it's more dangerous inside the mountain. ”
Xiahou Yuchen was very worried.
Thyme nodded, she had just come out today to see if there were any herbs that could be used in the vicinity.
In her last life, her job was to grow herbs and concoct herbs, and it seems that she can only rely on this for a life in this life.
After all, she doesn't know how to do things like embroidery, and she doesn't have the patience, so finding herbs to sell in the mountains is undoubtedly the best choice.
Now that it's autumn, there are more herbs that can be picked on the mountain.
Standing halfway up the hill and looking at the village, the whole village is clear at a glance. The yellow patch in the field, the rice has been harvested, and when I look at the village from here, I feel that the whole village is quiet and peaceful.
There are a lot of nepeta growing on both sides of the road, and I don't know if it's because of the climate or what, but it's already blooming early.
Nepeta is mainly cold and hot, rat impotence, scrofula, sores, broken and agglomerated gas, blood congestion, dehumidification and paralysis, but it is a traditional Chinese medicine that is often used.
Thyme looked at it and decided to cut the nepeta and take it home when she returned. Take Xiahou Yuchen and continue to go up the mountain.
The mountain behind the village is very high, and the mountain road is a bit rugged, but it is easy to walk because it is often walked.
When going up the mountain, Thyme did not choose to collect medicine, after all, going up the mountain is a tiring job, and the original owner's body is weak, so he has only walked a short distance, and Thyme is tired and panting. If you carry herbs on your back, I'm afraid it will be more tiring.
Xiahou Yuchen saw that Thyme, who was walking in front, was walking slower and slower, and asked a little distressedly: "Mother, if I'm tired, I'll carry the basket!" I often go up the mountain to play alone, and I often walk this mountain road, so I am not tired. ”
Hearing Xiahou Yuchen's words, Thyme smiled slightly and turned back: "My mother knows that you are filial, but my mother can't let you carry the basket!" You're still a kid and you're growing taller, so let's take a break while we're walking, and we'll be busy when we get back. ”
Xiahou Yuchen asked with some doubts: "Mother, what are you going to do when you go up the mountain?" ”
Thyme neither looked for wild vegetables, nor did she watch Thyme collect firewood, but waited for the wild grass and wild flowers on the side of the road to see.
Xiahou Yuchen didn't understand it.
Thyme pointed to the purple weeds on a piece of flat land not far away, and asked Xiahou Yuchen: "Chen'er, do you know the purple weeds over there?" ”
Thyme's behavior made Xiahou Yuchen confused, Xiahou Yuchen ran over, stretched out his hand and pulled up the purple weeds in the field, took it to his nose and smelled it, the smell was not very good.
"Mother, this is a weed! What else could it be? Xiahou Yuchen said a little innocently, that obedient and cute appearance made Thyme couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch Xiahou Yuchen's white face.
I don't know if it's because the genetics are too good, Xiahou Yuchen looks really cute, with a pair of big watery eyes, and his facial features are also very exquisite, and he is a standard little Zhengtai.
Thyme took the purple weed from Xiahou Yuchen's hand, looked at the small purple flowers on it carefully, and explained to Xiahou Yuchen: "This is a weed in your eyes, but in my eyes it is a medicinal herb. ”
Xiahou Yuchen looked at thyme with some surprise, his eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "Mother, is this really a medicinal herb?" How did you meet Mom? ”
Xiahou Yuchen knew that thyme didn't know anything else except embroidery.
was suspected, naturally he had to find an excuse to dispel Xiahou Yuchen's suspicions, although Thyme had only been in contact with Xiahou Yuchen for two days, she already felt that this child was extremely smart, she was still thinking just now that Xiahou Yuchen would not ask her why she knew this herb, and in a blink of an eye, Xiahou Yuchen asked.
After a turn in his mind, Thyme laughed: "Since my mother told you, it naturally makes sense, and there are many things that my mother will meet, and there are many things you don't know, this is an adult's secret." ”
"That mother, what kind of medicine is this, and what kind of disease does it cure?"
Xiahou Yuchen looked curious, in Xiahou Yuchen's heart, doctors are very powerful characters, they can cure diseases and save people with medicinal herbs, Xiahou Yuchen has always wanted to become a doctor, he can cure diseases and save people.
Now, Thyme will know the herb, maybe it will still be a doctor, and this discovery makes Xiahou Yuchen excited.
Thyme put the purple herb into the back basket and explained to Xiahou Yuchen: "This is called perilla, sweating, relieving colds and headaches, eliminating phlegm and improving the lungs. and blood temperature, asthma, and fetal safety. ”
Seeing that Xiahou Yuchen was listening very carefully, Thyme was a little curious: "Does Chen'er really want to study medicine?" ”
Xiahou Yuchen nodded vigorously, looked at thyme with a look of adoration, his two big eyes were shining, he raised his head and said with a somewhat firm look: "Mother, I really want to study medicine, if you teach me well, Chen'er will definitely study hard." ”
Thyme touched Xiahou Yuchen's head and smiled slightly: "But my mother is not a doctor, I can treat minor illnesses and small pains, but I can't treat major diseases, if Chen'er really wants to learn, my mother can teach you to recognize herbs, and concoct herbs, as for the efficacy of herbs, you can also teach you." ”
Rao is thyme said that he was not a doctor and didn't know how to cure diseases and save people, but in Xiahou Yuchen's heart, he was so tall and powerful. "Mother, I'm willing to learn, you teach me! I will definitely study well with my mother. ”
