Chapter 43: Snake Venom
The three of the Qin family went out for a long time this time, and they didn't come back until the afternoon, but everyone was already familiar with the three of them, and the three of the Qin family had the ability to hunt, and they went out for so long, it was estimated that they were going hunting, so they didn't care.
The third grandfather saw that everyone was hiding in the cave for most of the day and didn't hear any movement outside, so he felt safe, so he took a few men out of the cave and went to the neighborhood to find food and water.
The third grandmother stayed behind and cleaned the cave again with the women of several families.
The family was going to stay here tonight, and now that it was cold again, they had to lay a few layers of hay in the cave to sleep, lest they get sick from the cold.
Luo Wu, Gu Jin'an, and Tian Erqiang wandered around the cave in case other victims found it.
As for Gu Dexing, Gu Qingliang, and Gu Qingtian, who were about the same age as them, they seemed to be frightened, and they didn't come to their senses for several days, and they all nested in the cave and didn't want to come out.
After Luo Huiniang secretly complained that they were so timid, she said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, let's go find something to eat nearby." ”
Gu Jinli nodded: "Okay." ”
She wanted to go to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs, but now the weather is getting colder, everyone is fleeing all the way, their health is very poor, and they are easy to get sick, so they need to dig some medicinal herbs to prevent wind and cold, in case of emergency.
Gu Jinli tied his cloth bag with coarse salt tightly, said something to Cui's and Gu Jinxiu, and pulled Luo Huiniang out of the cave.
Luo Huiniang glanced at Gu Yumei, who was sitting in the pile of bitter grass, and invited her: "Sister Mei, are you going?" ”
When Gu Yumei heard this, she shook her head with some disgust: "Don't go." ”
Her granddaughter, unlike other girls in Gujia Village, squatted on the ground with a broken crockpot to dig grass roots, climbed on trees and picked leaves, and she didn't do these rude things.
Luo Huiniang pursed the corners of her mouth disdainfully, she looked down on Gu Yumei's hypocrisy, Gujia Village was gone, and she was still the granddaughter of her village chief's family?
When Aunt Tian heard their words, she hurriedly said to Luo Huiniang: "Huiniang, bring Xiaohua with you." ”
Their family has no food and no water, and they have been eating the food of the third grandfather's family, the Luo family, and the Dashan family in the past few days, and they are very unhappy not to go, so let Xiaohua follow Huiniang Xiaoyu to find something to eat, if they find it, not only can they reduce everyone's burden, but her family can also hide something to eat.
"Xiaohua go quickly, go with your Sister Hui Niang and Sister Xiaoyu to find something to eat." Aunt Tian stuffed a straw basket into Tian Xiaohua's hand, pushed her to Luo Huiniang's side, and said with a smile: "Huiniang, Xiaoyu, you look at some Xiaohua for your aunt." ”
"Aunt Tian rest assured, with us here, Xiaohua will be fine." Luo Huiniang liked Tian Xiaohua very much, and didn't mind taking her with her, and after reassuring Aunt Tian, she pulled Tian Xiaohua and followed Gu Jinli out of the cave.
Outside the cave, there is a withered grass, through the grass, is a dead tree whose leaves have fallen off, and then walk forward for about ten meters, there is a small slope.
Luo Wu, Gu Jin'an, and Tian Erqiang hid in the grass under the slope, staring into the distance, in case any disaster victims would come here.
Gu Jinli and the three of them did not go down the slope, but turned the road to a high place, wandering around the mountains, looking for medicinal herbs and food at the same time.
But the medicinal materials in this mountain are not easy to find, Gu Jinli took a wooden stick, picked up the layers of rotten dead leaves and withered grass, found inch by inch, and looked for half an hour, only to find a few dry parsnip in a piece of dead grass and rotten leaves.
Gu Jinli was overjoyed, hurriedly squatted down, dug up the dry soil around him with a dagger, and dug up the parsnip grass along with the roots.
Parsnip is one of the most common herbs for the treatment of wind cold, and although there are only a few plants, it is better than nothing.
Luo Huiniang was puzzled and asked, "Xiaoyu, what kind of grass are you digging for?" Can you eat it when it withers like this? ”
Tian Xiaohua glanced at Gu Jinli, did not speak, but continued to dig the grass roots.
Gu Jinli said: "This is a medicinal material, it can cure wind and cold, dig it back and hide it, if we get wind cold, there is also medicine to cure it." ”
"This withered herb is a medicinal herb? What you read in that medical book again? Then you dig it. Luo Huiniang knew what kind of medical book Gu Jinli had, she often held it and read it, and during this time, Xiaoyu also told them that she wanted to find medicinal materials, so when she heard this, she was not surprised at all when she saw Xiaoyu digging up medicinal materials, she only felt very reasonable.
Gu Jinli responded with a smile, dug out a few parsnip, pulled over the withered vines on the side, and bundled the parsnip.
"Ah, the snake!" Tian Xiaohua suddenly screamed, fell to the ground in fright, and looked at a green spotted snake in the grass in horror.
The snake's head is pointed, like a triangle, and the seven inches under the head are particularly thin, while the snake body below seven inches is very fat, and it is a highly poisonous soldering iron head, and it is standing at the moment, spitting letters at Tian Xiaohua.
Luo Huiniang was closest to Tian Xiaohua, and she also saw the snake, so she hurriedly grabbed Tian Xiaohua and pulled her to her side, so that she could stay away from the snake and prevent her from being bitten by the snake.
But as soon as Tian Xiaohua moved, the snake flew towards Tian Xiaohua, and when he saw that he was about to bite Tian Xiaohua, a dagger flew from the right side, with great speed and strength, and directly nailed the poisonous snake into the grass.
Gu Jinli ran over excitedly, took out a small bamboo tube two fingers wide, stared at the poisonous snake that was still moving, and after a while, she saw the opportunity, grabbed the snake's head, pinched the snake's mouth, knocked the snake's teeth on the mouth of the small bamboo tube, and forced all the venom into the small bamboo tube.
Tian Xiaohua shook her head, why is Sister Xiaoyu so bold? Dare to catch poisonous snakes.
Luo Huiniang also had palpitations, and after coming back to her senses, she asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" That thing is snake venom, right? ”
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, it's venom, the medical book says, this is a good thing." ”
Luo Huiniang looked at Gu Jinli with a face that was indescribable. She felt that Xiao Yu had become a little ...... since reading that medical book Blame.
She hesitated for a while, but still persuaded Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, snake venom is not fun, something will happen, hurry up and throw away the snake venom and this poisonous snake." ”
Thrown?
Are you kidding?
It's meat.
After Gu Jinli took the snake venom, he cut off the snake's head with a knife, and the remaining snake body was kept and tied with the parsnip.
"Let's go." After Gu Jinli disposed of the snake, he beckoned the two of them to continue looking for food.
Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua slowed down for a while before they caught up with Gu Jinli, and before they could leave, they met the three members of the Qin family.
The three members of the Qin family were walking out of a dense forest, and when they saw the three of them, they were a little surprised, and Qin Erlang also glanced at the dense forest behind him, as if he was worried about something.
"It's you, you're looking for food again?" Qin Lao reacted the fastest, and he had already greeted Gu Jinli and them with a smile.
Gu Jinli shouted with a smile: "Grandpa Qin." ”
But he complained in his heart, what kind of fate is this? Why are the three of the Qin family encountering something every time?
Luo Huiniang had a big heart and asked Old Qin: "Grandpa Qin, what are you doing in the forest?" Did you find anything to eat? ”
When Qin Erlang heard Luo Huiniang's words, his face sank significantly, and he said coldly: "I was looking for food inside, but I didn't find it." ”
And he said, "There is nothing to eat in this forest, so don't go in." ”
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.
Gu Jinli knew that there must be something in the forest, but he didn't plan to find trouble for himself, so he said, "Then we won't go in, let's go forward." ”
Qin Erlang was not very worried about them, and glanced at Qin Sanlang.
Qin Sanlang also seemed to be worried about what they would find, so he had to say: "Little Fish girl, we have all looked for this piece, there is nothing to eat, it is not early, let's go back together." ”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to take the parsnip in Gu Jinli's hand, and after seeing the headless poisonous snake, his eyes moved.
Qin Lao also said: "You three little girls are not safe outside, let's go back together." ”
They all said so, and Gu Jinli and they could only follow them back.
But when he was about to walk to the cave, Qin Sanlang stopped Gu Jinli and said, "Little Fish Girl, this snake hasn't been dealt with yet, you and I will deal with this snake first." ”
This was said a little abruptly, it was just a matter of dealing with a dead snake, and there was no need for Gu Jinli to go with him at all.
Gu Jinli glanced at Qin Sanlang, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The two of them walked to a rock in the far side of the cave.
When no one was around, Gu Jinli asked, "What do you have to do with me, just tell me." ”
