Chapter 9 Collecting Medicine
"Uncle Zhao, let's go." Shen Ya walked outside the courtyard with a bamboo basket on her back, beckoned Zhao Tie and walked towards the back mountain.
"Shen girl, what are you doing with the bamboo basket on your back?" Zhao Tie was a little curious when he saw Shen Ya carrying a bamboo basket up the mountain. It is said that this season, the grass on the mountain has already froze to death, and even if there is, it is only a few sparse plants, he really can't figure out why the girl of the Shen family is carrying a bamboo basket up the mountain?
"Go up to the mountain and pick herbs." Shen Ya replied lightly and happily, as if she was sure that there would be herbs waiting for her on the mountain.
Zhao Tie scratched his head, he didn't understand, he had lived for so long, and he hadn't seen anyone go up the mountain to pick herbs in winter, but since the girl of the Shen family said so, he felt that there must be herbs on the mountain. After Shen Ya cured the illness of the greeting yesterday, Zhao Tie felt that the Shen family's medical skills were very good, although the people in the village did not believe in her very much, but he Zhao Tiexin.
The two went all the way to the back mountain, Zhao Tie took the lead in front of her, first, to protect her from being attacked by wild beasts in the mountain, although there are no dangerous beasts in the back mountain, but occasionally there will be wild boars to patronize, so it is better to be careful, the wild boars in this mountain are not vegetarian, they are very fierce, and secondly, to prevent her from falling into the trap set by the villagers on the mountain. These traps were all set by the good hunters in the village, and ordinary people couldn't detect them, so Zhao Tie had to identify them carefully to prevent the two from falling into the trap.
In winter, the back mountain is covered with a thin layer of snow, and as far as the eye can see, it is silvery white. Feet stepped on it, creaking.
"Uncle Zhao, is there a place where animals are frequently infested, don't skip words. Shen Ya asked Zhao Tie while squatting down and gently brushing away the snow, as if looking for something, but unfortunately, there were only some ** leaves and grass roots under the snow.
"This, it doesn't seem to be, whether you can find the animal or not depends on your luck." Zhao Tie touched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Well, it's okay, let's keep walking, we'll always see it." Shen Ya raised her head and smiled at Zhao Tie, stood up, tightened the bamboo basket on her back, and then walked forward.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-" The two walked halfway, and suddenly heard a scream of animals in front of them, Zhao Tie heard the sound, his feet froze, his expression suddenly got up, raised his legs and ran forward, Shen Ya saw this and hurriedly followed.
It wasn't until the sound got closer and closer that the two stopped, and when they got closer, it turned out that a roe deer had fallen into a trap dug by Orion, and was caught by the trap in the trap, which made such a terrible scream.
Zhao Tie stood in front of the pit, squatted down, and carefully identified it, before slowly standing up, and said with admiration: "Sure enough, it is Zhang Orion's trap, and he is worthy of being the number one hunter in the village, and such a cunning roe deer can be hit." ”
Shen Ya was very puzzled when she heard Zhao Tie suddenly sigh like this, so she asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao, how did you know that this was Zhang Orion's trap?" ”
"In order to distinguish their prey, the hunters in the village will mark their names on their weapons, and you see if the word Zhang Zhu is engraved on the iron clip." Zhao Tie saw Shen Ya asking himself, pointed to the iron clip in the trap and said.
Shen Ya looked inside, and sure enough, somewhere in the iron clip, the word Zhang Zhu was engraved.
"The rules of the village are that if it is an animal hunted with a weapon engraved with its name, no one can take it except himself, otherwise if he is discovered, he will be punished by the village." After Zhao Tie finished speaking, he turned his head to Shen Yahan and smiled: "It is called by a roe deer here, it is estimated that there will be no animals, I will take it to another place to see." ”
"yes, okay."
So Zhao Tie took Shen Ya and chose another path to walk deeper into the forest. Along the way, Shen Ya paid attention everywhere and didn't find any animals. There are not many animals that come out in winter, and there is nothing in the forest except for bare trees and snow under your feet.
Shen Ya was almost frozen all the way, the snow in the forest melted, it was much colder than in other places, and the cotton clothes on her body were not warm enough. When she sneezed for the third time, Shen Ya wanted to give up a little and planned to come back tomorrow.
However, just when she was about to stop Zhao Tie, who was still enthusiastically leading her forward, she suddenly saw a sika deer under a big tree not far from her, digging the snow on the ground with its front hooves, looking for food to eat.
Seeing this, Shen Ya was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she hurriedly grabbed Zhao Tie, who was still walking forward, with her hand, and quietly pulled him to the side under a tree to hide, so as not to disturb the sika deer that was not easy to appear.
Zhao Tie originally saw the deer, and he was also happy to call for good luck, and was about to shoot the deer with a bow, but was hurriedly stopped by Shen Ya, Zhao Tie put down the arrow in confusion, and wondered: "Shen family girl, what's wrong with you, why don't you let me shoot, you have been looking for animals on the mountain for half a day, isn't it just for this not to skip words."
"No, no, Uncle Zhao, you're mistaken, I didn't come to you for hunting." Shen Ya waved her hand several times, and seeing that Zhao Tie still had an incomprehensible expression, she simply didn't explain, and only said helplessly: "You'll know later." ”
Then, the two of them hid under the tree and watched the sika deer from a distance.
The sika deer not far away, not at all alert to the people around, perhaps because of the extreme hunger, the reaction is not as sharp as usual, but keep using the front hooves to shave snow around, planing this place, and then that, a piece of snow that was originally flat and neat, it was planed by it here a pit, a pit there, it was simply miserable.
Shen Ya stared intently at the sika deer in front of her, and carefully noted down the places where it had dug holes, sniffed them, and then gave up. When the sika deer was almost tired of shaving, or felt that there was no food here, and was about to leave, Shen Ya turned to Zhao Tie and said, "Uncle Zhao, you can hunt now." ”
Shen Ya is not noble enough to give up food for the winter for the sake of an animal, she and Zhao Tie, in fact, like this sika deer, are just poor people who work hard to forage for food in order to survive the cold winter, in front of death, they are all equal, so Shen Ya can't pity a sika deer and not let Zhao Tie kill it, because they also have to survive. Moreover, she had no right to stop Zhao Tie from hunting.
Zhao Tie saw that Shen Ya suddenly agreed to him to hunt the sika deer, although he was a little confused, but he had already quickly set up the bow and arrow in his hand, and only heard the sound of "poof", and the arrow was off the string.
"Yo-" The sika deer, who was originally going to leave, was suddenly attacked by a bow and arrow, screaming in fright, fleeing in all directions, Zhao Tie missed an arrow accurately, very annoyed, and left a sentence: "Wait for me to come back." He ran in the direction of the sika deer.
Shen Ya saw that Zhao Tie had disappeared all of a sudden, sighed, carried the bamboo basket on her back, and walked towards the pit where the sika deer was planed. Walk to the pit, crouch down, carefully shave the snow around you, and then uproot the rotting grass under the snow.
Sure enough, Shen Ya took the grass root in her hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed, I finally found you-Mountain Eggplant
Herbivores have more or less some recognition functions for different grasses, they are masters of finding food in the snow, and they can find the grass that is covered under the snow and has not had time to wither, but because of the accumulation of perennial experience, they know which grasses can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten, and the mountain eggplant is a kind of grass that herbivores will not eat, because the grass roots of the mountain eggplant have a strong anesthetic function.
This kind of grass will bloom, but the flowering period is very short, once withered, the leaves are no different from ordinary grass, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, so few people pick this flavor grass, she is also when she was a child and her grandfather went to the countryside to collect medicine, grandpa told him a trick to find mountain eggplant, I didn't expect to be able to use it here
