Chapter 3 The First Climb to the Mountain
In the silence of the night sky, the breeze gusted, the shadows of the trees moved, a rooster crowed, and then more roosters crowed, and then a room lit up, and then a lamp lit up.
In the big room, Hu and Li Anfu got up and dressed quickly, Hu said to Li Hui, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian: "The three of you will sleep first, get up again at dawn, and after a while, Hui'er and your cousin Xiu will go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, it is spring, and there are many wild vegetables. ”
"Got it, mother." Li Hui was still thinking about finding some reason to enter the mountain, but now she doesn't need to make excuses.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the courtyard of the Li family, Li Hui and Li Xiu also carried baskets and prepared to set off.
Walk out of the gate of the Li family, walk along the small river behind the village, and cross the small bridge on the other side to the path into the mountain.
The sun in early spring is warm and not too sunny, and as soon as you enter the mountains, you feel a kind of vitality. Unknown flowers bloomed everywhere, and busy people, smiling with hope, walked to their fields one after another.
Suddenly, an unknown grass caught Li Hui's attention, it mainly occurs on old rhizomes, and some of them grow from seeds, and it grows on the ground, the leaf shape is narrow and thin, the apex is blunt or slightly blunt, the base is broadly wedge-shaped to nearly round or slightly heart-shaped, the whole margin or has small serrations far away, bright green above, often with purple halo, with inconspicuous pubescence and sunken glandular points, pale green below, obviously pubescent and sunken glandular points, lateral veins 3-5 pairs, and the midrib is not significant above, and the bracts below are mostly sessile and often purple.
Li Hui felt that this was really effortless. She just knows this plant, everyone usually calls it Artemisia annua, its scientific name is Yin Chen, is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, whether it is cooking or soaking in water to drink, the effect is very good, with the prevention of influenza, the treatment of heat stroke, cold, headache and heavy body, abdominal pain, vomiting, chest and diaphragm fullness, qi obstruction and food stagnation, children's food accumulation and abdominal distention, diarrhea, menorrhagia, collapse and leakage, skin itching and edema and other symptoms, its heat dissipation function, especially better than peppermint.
But since it is so common, many people don't know its efficacy and don't even know that it can be eaten.
Li Hui used to dig wild vegetables with her grandmother in her previous life, and once asked her grandmother curiously that she didn't have to eat when she had a natural disaster, so why didn't she dig Yin Chen to eat.
Grandma told her that people were stupid at that time, and they didn't know that they could eat these, even sweet potato stalks, let alone these.
At this time, Li Hui was glad that she often dug wild vegetables with her grandmother, and also knew some common herbs, otherwise in this backward ancient times, she really didn't know how to get through this difficulty quickly.
"Sister, do you want to make money?"
"How do you earn it?" Li Xiu turned his head sharply.
"This is it!" Li Hui uprooted a Yin Chen Dao.
"I thought it was, it turned out to be grass, if this can make money, everyone will go, how can it be our turn." Li Xiu said disapprovingly.
"That's what everyone doesn't know, thinking it's just an ordinary grass, but in fact, it's a kind of medicinal material, which can clear away heat and detoxify, treat colds, diarrhea, and tonify the kidney."
"And how do you know?"
"I dreamed about it last night, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, it doesn't take much trouble, when the time comes, let's go to the pharmacy and ask if you accept it? If you collect it, you can earn as much as you want. Li Hui could only explain it this way, in order to avoid suspicion.
"Okay, let's try it ourselves, and if it works, we'll tell grandma and daddy. lest they be disappointed. ”
So Li Hui and Li Xiu were busy with Wow Yin Chen all morning, and then moved them to the corner of the house to dry. During this period, Li Yujin and Li Yucheng also came to ask them what they were doing, and then the result was that their team grew again.
After a busy day, everyone is full of energy for possible returns!
