Chapter Forty-Nine: Back Mountain

In early summer, most of the plants are already in their vigorous growth period, and some of the medicinal herbs have already grown, such as flowers or stems and leaves or roots.

At this time, there are several medicinal herbs on the back mountain of Peach Blossom Village that are ready to be harvested.

"You see, its leaves are of this shape, with slender stems and leaves, with fine pubescence, white flowers the size of rice grains......"

Bai Mingxuan grabbed a handful of stems and leaves in her hand and explained carefully to the spring flower, flipping it to make her understand while talking, and briefly introduced its growth habits, so that the spring flower could be better found.

"This medicinal material is called Tianqi seed, also called purple-backed geranium or Xia Wuzhi, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, it ripens before the beginning of summer, generally grows in the low mountain forest, grass or ditch in this cool and humid place, March to May is its harvest period, and now the harvest is just right."

Chunhua listened very seriously, staring intently at the appearance of the stems and leaves of the medicinal herbs in Bai Mingxuan's hands, wanting to remember the appearance of it.

“…… This medicinal herb is mainly to harvest its roots, remove the roots, wash and dry it, and it is very convenient to harvest. Bai Mingxuan waved the small medicine hoe he borrowed from Dr. Wang, flipped it hard, dug out a piece of roots, grabbed the rhizome and shook off the soil, and then pulled the roots off and put them in the bamboo basket.

"Chunhua, do you understand?" The morning sun was already a little hot, and people were sweating, Bai Mingxuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned her head and asked.

"Mingxuan, I understand." Chunhua nodded hurriedly, hoeed the roots of a clump of grass on the ground, shook off the soil but saw the different rhizomes exposed, and was stunned for a moment.

Bai Mingxuan bent the corners of her mouth and grabbed her, "Forget it, maybe I didn't explain anything just now." You'd better follow me to dig up medicinal herbs first, and you'll get to know each other after you've seen more. ”

Chunhua was a little frustrated, but after hearing this, she rekindled her confidence, and actively followed behind Bai Mingxuan, trying to dig up the medicinal herbs.

As a little rural girl who works all year round, Chunhua showed the diligence and neatness of a rural girl at this time, with the help of Chunhua, Bai Mingxuan saved more than half of Bai Mingxuan's effort, and harvested the geranium seeds of this small mountain in less than half a day.

After working for half a day, both of them were a little tired, so they sat down under the tree to rest. The sun was in the middle of the day, it was already noon, the sun was shining directly on the ground, and a little spot of light under the shade of the trees shone on the two of them.
