Chapter 15: Up the Mountain
It's winter, the end of October. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Xue sat at the door, looking into the distance, she had lived in this strange dynasty for three months, and she had been in this broken temple for almost three months!
Seeing that the weather was getting colder day by day, Yan Xue's heart became more and more uneasy, they couldn't live here anymore, if it snowed, they would freeze to death even if they didn't starve to death.
Yan Xue knew that the six or seven amounts of silver in their hands had been almost spent.
"Cher, it's time to eat!" Mama Su shouted at Yan Xue outside the door.
"Here, Xue'er is going to eat while it's hot, it's cold, and the rice is cold quickly," Mama Su urged Yan Xue to eat quickly while serving the meal.
Yan Xue looked at the rabbit meat in the bowl, and stayed with tears in her eyes, what is good Mama Su and Uncle Wang will give her, saying that she is breastfeeding the child, and she will only milk if she eats better, otherwise they are afraid that there will be no milk, and they will be reluctant to eat it themselves.
Several times, she saw Mama Su and Uncle Wang not eating, desperately drinking water to fight hunger.
When she saw that she was uncomfortable and died, she felt distressed as if there was a knife cutting it, and secretly saved things for them to eat, but they didn't eat once, no matter what she said, it was useless, and continued to feed her the next day when it was hot.
At the beginning of autumn, there were still some wild vegetables to eat, but now! The grass is freezing to death, not to mention the wild vegetables!
She wanted to go up the mountain several times to see what could be used, but she was stopped by Mama Su, saying that she had not gone to life and could not walk too far and too much, for fear of falling into the root of the disease.
Yan Xue knew that the confinement would be almost two months, but Mama Su insisted that she do it for three months, but Yan Xue couldn't help it, so she had to be obedient.
In fact, Yan Xue knew that she had a child with heavy bleeding, and the conditions here were poor, not to mention the poor food, and she couldn't eat enough, and she couldn't raise it for three months.
She also learned some time ago that Uncle Wang had been a soldier before, and thanks to this kung fu, they had a little game to eat in a month, either a pheasant or a hare.
But Mama Su and Uncle Wang almost didn't eat much, they all ate for her, and she also knew that if she ate too little, Xiao Chenxi would have nothing to eat.
But the luck is not good, the prey is only harvested once or twice a month! Also, people are dying of hunger, so what about the wild animals?
Yan Xue bit the rabbit meat with tears, ate it with tears, swallowed it with difficulty, and watched Mama Su and Uncle Wang get thinner and thinner, her heart was like a knife, and it hurt to cut her!
Mama Su and Uncle Wang looked at each other, didn't say anything, lowered their heads and pretended not to see, they knew what Yan Xue was crying about!
Yan Xue hugged Xiao Chenxi to breastfeed, after feeding, Xiao Chenxi didn't sleep this time, making a hoarse sound, small bubbles were spit out from time to time in the small mouth, and the black eyes were like the brightest black gems in the world.
Yan Xue teased the child in her arms, looking at his little face white and fat, with tender skin, flashing a pair of big eyes, small hands waving constantly, smiling at Yan Xue from time to time, provoking Yan Xue to love him very much, and sighed in his heart: "What a beautiful and cute little baby!" ”
I remember that some time ago, when she observed the appearance of this body in the basin, she couldn't help but be startled, maybe it was because after giving birth, Mama Su tried her best to eat better, at least she could eat seven or eight points full every day, plus it was better than before!
I don't know if it's her own temperament, or hers, Yan Xue looked at the elegant and vulgar in the water, with a light and spiritual aura, delicate skin, leisurely demeanor, beautiful eyes, peach cheeks with a smile, no words, breath like a quiet orchid, the indescribably gentle and lovely person turned out to be her.
Although it is not a peerless beauty, it is definitely the type of small jasper, an elegant and beautiful beauty.
Didn't you say that Xiao Chenxi's daddy looks good? It is estimated that Xiao Chenxi inherited his father's appearance, and it has only been a hundred days, so it can be seen that when he grows up, he must be a super handsome guy.
Uncle Wang had eaten in the morning, so he planned to go to the mountains to chop wood, and by the way, see what kind of prey he could hunt?
Yan Xue also heard Mama Su say not long ago, saying that the original owner used to like to read medical books or something, the reason was because her father and mother died of diseases and dystocia, thinking that if she had learned medical skills earlier, would her father and mother not have died, this is the original owner's naïve idea since childhood, naïve is really distressing, and I don't want to think about how old she was at that time?
For the fact that the original owner likes to read medical books, Yan Xue is very happy, so if she sees a doctor in the future, she will look at herbs or something? Don't worry about being debunked?
Although the original owner just came to live in the house, he bought some medical books to read in those two years, and I heard Mama Su say that the original owner read those books over and over again, but then he couldn't eat enough, so he didn't read them, which was enough for Yan Xue.
The original owner's father is a showman, so he taught the original owner to learn words since he was a child, and the original owner learned well, so he recognized most of the words, and also wrote a beautiful hairpin flower in small Kai, with beautiful handwriting.
may be due to the instinct of the body, and Yan Xue inherited the basic function of learning characters.
I heard Mama Su say that the original owner had no money to buy paper and pens before, so she usually used branches to practice on the ground, maybe she didn't want to forget her father's teachings! Yan Xue admired this very much, and thought that the original owner must be a very good person.
"Dad, wait a minute, I'll go with you," Yan Xue had wanted to go for a long time, and finally waited for the hundred days of confinement that Mama Su said, so naturally she would not let go of this opportunity.
"Cher, what are you going to do? If you want to go out to breathe, you can go to the river, the cold in the mountains is easy to catch the wind cold," Wang Bo looked at Yan Xue and said.
When Mama Su heard the voice, she came out and looked at Yan Xue with a disapproving expression.
When Yan Xue saw it, she smiled, with an expression that she had known that you would be like this: "Dad, mother, don't worry, I just want to go up the mountain to have a look, isn't there still a father?" Saying, I know some herbs, and I might be able to sell them for money when I pick some of them! Yan Xue knew that they cared about her, but she had to find a way to survive this winter.
Uncle Wang and Mama Su's faces were a little loose, and they looked at each other hesitantly.
"If we can't sell it, we can dry it for our own use!" Yan Xue actually just wants to try her luck on the mountain first and see what is on the mountain? There was no 100% hope, after all, the only thing they could use now was this mountain.
"Child, mother, or let Cher go! And me, I'll take care of her? Uncle Wang first opened his mouth to agree.
Yan Xue looked at Mama Su with a happy face when she heard this, with a hint of pity, silently coquettish.
"Alright! Go ahead... Go ahead... Be careful, remember to come back early," Mama Su also relieved.
Yan Xue happily walked over to help Uncle Wang get something, but Uncle Wang didn't let him, so Yan Xue had to give up, there was nothing anyway.
Yan Xue went up the mountain to know that the herbs were so easy to find, there were not a few herbs, and there were a lot of waste grasses.
Seeing where Uncle Wang was chopping firewood, Yan Xue walked inside again without giving up, and after looking for a while, she found a few herbs to stop bleeding, Xianhe grass, (Xianhe grass is the aboveground part of the Rosaceae herb Dragon's tooth grass.
Sexual taste and attribution: bitter and flat. Return to the liver, lungs, and spleen meridians.
Efficacy: Replenish deficiency, cool blood and stop bleeding, heal injuries and reduce swelling
Folk treatment: detachment of labor injury, called "detachment grass" is also very meritorious)
Yan Xue squatted on the ground and looked at these crane grasses, she was very disappointed, she thought that there would definitely be a lot of medicinal herbs in such a large mountain forest, but who knew that after looking for a long time, she found so many young shoots?
It stands to reason that there must be some medicinal herbs in such a large area of wild mountains and forests, and it is impossible to have almost none!
Yan Xue squatted on the ground, thought for a while, and came to the conclusion that maybe it was because it was too close to the capital! Everyone else has collected all the herbs! The capital is so big, there must be a lot of places to use medicine, so there must be a lot of people who sell medicine for money.
In fact, as Yan Xue guessed, most of the herbs here have already been collected by others.
In addition, it is gradually entering winter, and there are not many medicinal herbs in the first place.
