Chapter 8: Food Traps
This shepherd's cabbage tastes a little astringent, but its medicinal value is quite large, much better than that gray cabbage. However, it is usually harvested in winter, and this is already spring, and the leaves have not yet grown much.
Most of the time, the people in the village pick it back and give it to the pigs to eat, and there are not many families in the village who raise pigs, so the leaves of the shepherd's cabbage are still there at this time.
He Jingjing: She has several ways to make this shepherd's cabbage into a delicious dish. After all, dealing with wild vegetables is also a course she has learned, and as for what pigs eat people, she doesn't care.
Since shepherd's cabbage is a nutritious wild vegetable, there is no reason for He Jingjing to let it go.
He Jingjing quickly picked the leaves of the shepherd's cabbage, and He Xiaoxiao on the side was still digging the gray cabbage, looked up and was startled.
"Sister, that thing can't be eaten, it's all for pigs, why are you digging this?" He Xiaoxiao hurriedly leaned over and looked at the eldest sister with a puzzled expression.
The eldest sister has always been a little expert in digging wild vegetables, and her ability is still taught by the eldest sister, so it makes no sense that the eldest sister will not be able to distinguish between the wild vegetables eaten by people and the wild vegetables eaten by pigs.
"Pigs can eat it, why can't people eat it? This wild vegetable is also very good for the body. He Jingjing said, looked at the little girl's puzzled look, and said, "When I go back, my sister will make it for you." ”
Hearing the eldest sister say this, twelve-year-old He Xiaoxiao nodded and did not insist any longer. Anyway, the eldest sister won't lie to her, what the eldest sister says is what she says.
The two sisters picked for a while, and slowly approached the woods at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, He Jingjing discovered a special wild vegetable - chicken head lotus.
This is a wild vegetable, which mainly eats the kernels and stems, with spikes on them, and requires special care when picking and handling.
Looking at the red-headed lotus, He Jingjing thought of a dish she had tasted before, which was mainly based on this-headed lotus. That kind of taste, He Jingjing still misses it a little, of course, she has done it many times herself, but it is not as good as the mentor.
There was no knife at hand, He Jingjing searched left and right, and then brought a stone, planning to break the stem of this chicken head lotus and take it back to pass the mouth. Because there are thorns on it, it is very cumbersome to deal with.
was smashing hard, and suddenly, He Jingjing's feet softened, and his whole body sank in half.
Cocklilies generally grow near the water, belonging to a kind of water lily family, He Jingjing just saw that the ground was a little wet, who would have thought that there was a small swamp here.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao. He Jingjing panicked, didn't dare to move, and immediately called He Xiaoxiao.
He Xiaoxiao walked over and saw that He Jingjing was halfway down, and she was also anxious, thinking about coming over and pulling out He Jingjing, but He Jingjing stopped her.
"Go find the branches, and don't come closer, or you'll get trapped." He Jingjing didn't dare to move anymore and said to He Xiaoxiao.
He Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to find a branch to save He Jingjing, and happened to run into a team riding a tall horse.
A young man at the head, riding on a horse, saw He Jingjing's embarrassed appearance trapped in the mud from a distance.
Without He Xiaoxiao opening his mouth for help, he had already quickly rushed in the direction of He Jingjing.
He Jingjing saw that someone had come to save her, so she hurriedly opened her hands and waited for the man to pull her up.
"Catch. With a wave of the man's hand, the horsewhip wrapped around He Jingjing's hands, and then as soon as he used his strength, he dragged He Jingjing up.
Escaping from danger, He Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down to see that the mud had actually submerged to her waist. If it takes a while, I'm afraid she'll die.
"There are a lot of swamps at the foot of this mountain, why did you come here?" Ye Haixuan looked at the terrain with a cold face, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be my family's land." ”
He Jingjing was stunned for a moment, looked at this serious man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and said a little stupidly: "I'm here to dig wild vegetables." Walking and walking, here we are. ”
He Xiaoxiao also ran over with the man's servants at this time, and she glanced at He Jingjing, and her eyes were red. What happened just now frightened the little girl.
