Chapter 5: The Beginning
Xu sent Tian Cuihua away, and returned to the house a little inexplicably. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What do you mean by Sister Cuihua?"
Liu Dazhu said sullenly, "Needless to say, it must be the family's urgent need for money, and I am embarrassed to say it when I come, I know that even if we say it, we can't take it out." ”
Xu Shi held Liu Dazhu's hand and sighed deeply.
The black girl heard from the beginning to the end, knowing that her father and mother were in a bad mood, and she was anxious to understand the surrounding situation, so she proposed to go outside, and the little girl had to follow, so the two went out hand in hand.
The village is not large, there are only about 20 families, and you can still see a few people carrying hoes to the fields on the road.
The little girl is lively and sweet, and when she sees who is coming and is far away, she will call her uncle and aunt, ask the black girl about her condition, talk briefly, and some people who are not good at words should respond, and smile at them and pass.
Heiya thinks it's too wise to take Xiaoya out, otherwise she won't know what to shout when she meets someone, and it will be too embarrassing to laugh silly.
"Sister, where are we going?" It is estimated that after drinking two meals of thick porridge, her stomach was not so hungry, and Xiaoya walked in front all the way, full of vitality.
Heiya thought for a moment, "Let's go to the foot of the mountain." "There is really nothing to see in the village, except for the fields outside, there are wild grass.
I can only go to the vicinity of the mountain to see if there is anything that can be used.
Following Xiaoya to the foot of the mountain, Heiya knew why she couldn't eat enough while guarding the mountain.
It is a stone mountain with a thin layer of soil, few tall plants, just some shrubs and wild grasses, and bare rocks can be seen in many places.
A shallow stream flows out of the col, and the only way to get into the mountain is to follow the stream, because the stream is a steep rock on one side and a straight wall at a 90-degree angle to the ground on the other.
"Our father said, go along the stream, there is a big pool, there are a lot of fish in it, but it is not easy to catch, and then there is a deep mountain and old forest, and two people with thick trees can't hold it." The little girl tilted her head up and looked high at the mountain wall, squinting her eyes.
"It's just that the place is too far away, at least three hours to walk, and there are wild boars and wolves in the mountains. But if you can climb up from this cliff, it will be half an hour away, and the road that our father walked before, but it also fell from here. ”
Xiaoya lowered her head, squatted on the ground and angrily pulled out the weeds in her hand.
They are now standing at the bottom of the cliff, the black girl visually measured that this mountain wall is at least fifty meters high, her father used to be quite powerful, but now he does not have climbing tools like in his previous life, and it is not enough to climb up from here with bare hands.
"Let's go, I don't think there's anything delicious here, but there are a lot of sour jujube trees, let's pick them when they bear fruit." The jujube trees here are very low shrubs, dense and full of thorns. The taste is not good, only sour, but the sour jujube kernel can be used in medicine, I don't know if the pharmacy here accepts it.
When she was about to pull Xiaoya, she accidentally noticed a big branch not far ahead.
"This is ......" looks at the shape, a bit like the hot cypress that she would fry in her previous life. Heiya hurriedly ran over and squatted on the ground to take a closer look.
Known as the 'living fossil' of plants, it has only become popular in recent years, growing on cliffs, immortal for thousands of years, and tenacious in life.
The really good cypress has a good health care effect on the human body, because it is rich in compounds that can significantly inhibit cancer cells, enhance the body's immunity, and have a strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect of scavenging free radicals, and some places have used it to treat cancer.
Therefore, there is a saying that life-saving agarwood and life-saving cliff cypress.
Ya cypress is generally made into ornaments or bracelets, because the oiliness is larger, often played with will form a thick pulp, the color is red, the quality is like amber.
The reason why Heiya understands so clearly is mainly because the jaypress can refine essential oils, from the very beginning of contact, she was crazy obsessed with its taste, but unfortunately the real good material is hard to find, and she has always regretted not smelling the top yabai.
The one in front of me should have fallen from the cliff above, there were obvious traces of weathering on the surface, and the bark was already a little mottled.
"It's indeed a cypress, it looks like the quality should be pretty good." There are also a few thinner branches next to it, which should be from the same tree.
Heiya picked it up and took it in her hand to observe it carefully, "It would be nice if there was equipment to refine essential oils...... As soon as the thought came out, the wood in his hand suddenly disappeared, and three clouds of unknown things appeared in front of him.
The black girl was startled, and only reacted after a few seconds, pretending to be calm and carefully observing the three things.
A lump of oily liquid, a lump of water liquid, a lump of powder.
There are about ten drops of oily liquid, slightly more water liquid, most powdery, looking at the things in front of her, a trace of thought flashed in the black girl's mind, this should be the cypress branch in her hand just now, but it was separated, is it because of the thought I just had?
suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and didn't bother to ask for verification, because she didn't know how long these things could float, and if they fell to the ground, she would lose a lot.
"Sister, what's wrong with you." Seeing that her sister was leaving, the little girl squatted on the ground and asked with a little doubt.
"Little girl, let's see if you can find something clean that can hold water, just a small one." The black girl looked around, and there were not even large leaves in this place, which was really worrying.
Fortunately, the little girl was clever, and when she heard her sister's words, although she didn't know why, she still ran to the stream and found two small stones with grooves in the middle.
"Sister, do you think this is okay?" The little girl washed the stone and brought it to the black girl.
"Okay, give me this, you can look for it again." The black girl covered the three things with her body, this kind of thing is too shocking, don't scare the little girl.
Put two balls of liquid into the groove of the stone, and the powdery thing is wrapped up in the clothes, "Little girl, don't look for it, let's go home first." ”
"Huh?" The little girl who was running to the stream didn't understand why she didn't want it anymore, and looked at her with a confused face. But her sister said so, and didn't ask much, and followed her home.
"Sister, something is so fragrant, but it doesn't look like eating." When the liquid floats in the air, it seems to be isolated from the outside, and there is no smell at all, and the strong fragrance emits as soon as it is loaded into the stone.
The essential oil of the cypress that has not been diluted in any way, with a mellow cypress fragrance, makes people feel as if they are in the vast forest, the breeze is coming, and it seems to have a rich sweetness, and the wonderful taste makes the black girl feel that there is a thorough wash from the body to the soul, and the whole person is transparent from head to toe.
