Chapter 17: Into the Mountains

The night was getting deeper, and Tong Chuxue didn't want to continue to entangle with them, and the two families parted unhappily.

Tong Chuxue looked at the old hen in her hand and hummed happily, and soon they would be able to eat fresh eggs. For a long time, I have been busy coming out of the whole residence, and I haven't paid close attention to my body, and now it's time to recuperate.

When the original owner was in Tong's house, he was abused all the year round, he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't dress warmly, and at the age of fifteen, he still looked like twelve or thirteen, dry and shriveled, and his arms and legs under his clothes were like the dead branches of an old tree, and his bones were covered with a layer of skin.

However, it is not difficult to change these things, as long as the nutrition keeps up, it will be completely raised in less than a year.

The next day, Tong Chuxue was waiting for the Luo family at the intersection of the back mountain with a bamboo basket on her back.

Soon she saw Luo Hui'an leading her younger brothers and sisters over, the two little ones were holding shovels in their hands, and Luo Hui'an was carrying a basket that was one circle bigger than Tong Chuxue.

"Sister, morning!" Luo Huifeng greeted Tong Chuxue very warmly.

"Morning, Qing'er is here too." Tong Chuxue touched the little heads of the two children.

"Big brother is here too." Luo Huifeng dragged Luo Hui'an over.

Tong Chuxue smiled, Luo Hui'an is such a big person, how could she not see it.

Luo Huifeng was very excited about entering the mountain, and squatted on the ground with a small shovel and poked around, but unfortunately he didn't know any of these plants, so he had to turn his head and ask Luo Hui'an for help, "Big brother, didn't you say that some weeds can be sold for money, where are they." ”

Luo Huiqing quipped, "I obviously don't know anything, and I dare to run up the mountain twice in three days." ”

Luo Hui'an walked over, took the small shovel in Luo Huifeng's hand, and taught the two little guys to recognize herbs little by little. He was very patient and told them everything about the appearance of the herbs, their growth habits, and the symptoms they treated.

Tong Chuxue, who listened, was surprised, "How do you know so much?" ”

Luo Hui'an returned the shovel in his hand to his younger brother and said lightly, "A long-term illness becomes a doctor." ”

Tong Chuxue touched her nose in embarrassment, turned around and went to dig herbs, guilty of sin, as if she had accidentally dug up someone else's scar.

Along the way, a few people carried a lot of things in their baskets, but the herbs were not heavy, and even if they were full, they would not be too burdensome.

It's just that for Tong Chuxue, she is not satisfied at all. The contents of the basket are nothing more than some common Chinese herbs such as plantain, wild chrysanthemum, poria cocos, and bellflower, which can be sold for some money, but not for a lot of money.

Luo Hui was familiar with the road, and walked in the front all the way to the depths.

Tong Chuxue found that Luo Hui'an's physical condition was not bad during this time, although he had been walking on the mountain road, panting slightly, but his overall complexion was ruddy, and his steps were powerful and not vain, which was okay.

At noon, Tong Chuxue saw Luo Hui'an stop, but she still wanted to go inside, and wondered, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"You can't go any deeper, I'm afraid it's dangerous." Luo returned to Andao.

Tong Chuxue looked at the dense forest in front of her, unwilling in her heart. Generally speaking, the more you go into the mountains, the more good things you have, and just along the way, Tong Chuxue has been observing the environment here, and according to her judgment, the environment here is very suitable for the growth of dendrobium.

Dendrobium is a thing that benefits the stomach and nourishes yin and clears heat, and is often used for stomach yin deficiency and illness and heat injury. In particular, Dendrobium officinale is known as the "holy product of nourishing yin". If she can find even one plant and transplant it back for large-scale cultivation, she and Xu Jinniang will be guaranteed for the rest of their lives.

It's just that this thing grows at a high altitude, and it is possible to find it if you go deep into the mountains.

Tong Chuxue glanced at the Luo family who were sitting on the ground resting, "If you don't rest here now, I still want to go to the mountains to have a look." ”

In fact, the place they arrived at today was already a relatively deep place, and further inside, it was a place that Luo Hui'an had never been to, and he immediately objected, "No, there are many dangers in the deep mountains, you can't risk your own life." ”

Tong Chuxue didn't know this truth, but if she only relied on these things along the road, she really couldn't exchange much money, which was very inconsistent with her plan to settle it once and for all.

"It's only noon, I'll go a little ahead, and I won't go far, nothing will happen."

But Tong Chuxue's thoughts were seen through by Luo Hui'an at a glance, "No." ”

Luo Hui'an stood in front of Tong Chuxue, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and there was a faint sense of oppression.

Tong Chuxue knew that if she insisted on going inside, she would definitely be forcibly taken away by the Luo family.

It doesn't matter, anyway, she came on this trip today, and she also remembered the road on the mountain, so she just had to find a time to come alone.

"Don't go...... I won't go. Tong Chuxue put on a very regretful look, "Okay, let's go back." ”

Saying that, Tong Chuxue was the first to walk and was about to go back, but behind her, she didn't notice that Luo Hui'an's eyes kept falling on her.

Locke's old house.

Xu Jinniang didn't expect Tong Chuxue to gain a lot this time, and she came back with a big basket full of things, but she really didn't know about Chinese medicinal materials, "Chuxue, can this thing really be sold for money?" ”

"Of course you can," Tong Chuxue said with a smile, "I can't still lie to you." ”

She plans to use the rest of the time to clean up the medicinal materials at home, and tomorrow she will take the medicinal materials to find a pharmacy in the county to sell them, and by the way, she will buy the things that she will use in her new home.

However, it has been delayed for a lot of time to dig medicinal materials in the mountains today, and by the time Tong Chuxue has cleaned up all the medicinal materials, the sun has already set halfway up the mountain.

As soon as Tong Chuxue raised her eyes, she saw Xu Jinniang scooping two scoops of water, apparently preparing to cook.

"Mother, I'll come!" She trotted over, took the water from Xu Jinniang's hand, and took the initiative to take on the task of cooking.

Midnight.

Tong Chuxue sneaked to the entrance of the back mountain alone, and in the darkness, she took out a fire fold from her arms and blew it up, walked behind a stout old tree, picked up the grass, and took out a torch.

She deliberately stayed here in the morning while people were unprepared.

During the day, there were too many people around, and it was difficult for her to go to the mountains, but in the dead of night, no one could restrain her.

Tong Chuxue lit the torch and walked along the road he walked towards the mountains without looking back.

Dendrobium officinalis has extremely high requirements for the growth environment, and no one has thought about transplanting and cultivating it in the past, but the success rate is extremely low, and even if it can be cultivated artificially, the medicinal effect of the product is not as good as that of the wild. Therefore, for a long time, wild dendrobium has been extremely sought-after in the market.

However, the difficulties that cannot be overcome in planting are not a problem at all for Tong Chuxue, a wood-based ability, and she only needs one dendrobium plant to cultivate a dendrobium that is not inferior to wild quality at all in her own home.

Relying on this alone, she can have no worries about food and clothing.

It's a little exciting to think about.

Tong Chuxue was in a good mood and dangled the torch, anyway, there was no one in the mountains, even if she went crazy for a while, it didn't matter.
