Chapter 9 Medicinal Materials

Bai Mingxuan didn't take anything, stuffed a handkerchief prepared by Bai Minglan into her arms and went out.

On the first day of studying medicine, Bai Mingxuan couldn't help but be a little excited, her steps were brisk, and she soon walked to the front of Dr. Wang's house.

The courtyard door was hidden, and Bai Mingxuan shouted inside: "Doctor Wang!" ”

"Come in!" Doctor Wang's voice came from inside.

Bai Mingxuan pushed open the door and walked in.

Doctor Wang turned his back to her, was tinkering with something in the house, heard footsteps and turned around, and said to Bai Mingxuan:

"Go to the mountain today to collect medicine, bring the bamboo basket and medicine hoe over there, and follow me up the mountain later." As he spoke, he pointed to the tools that were piled up haphazardly on the side.

Bai Mingxuan looked over and saw all kinds of large and small dustpans and bamboo baskets piled up along the wall, and there were several shovels and medicine hoes of different sizes on the ground. I secretly thought in my heart that Dr. Wang was really a different person, and his life was so eclectic.

Bai Mingxuan stepped forward, squatted down and found a bamboo basket and a small medicine hoe, and then found a larger bamboo basket and medicine hoe for Dr. Wang, and put them aside.

Doctor Wang put away the medicinal herbs, turned around and saw that Bai Mingxuan had prepared his own portion, nodded with satisfaction, but his face was expressionless, and he turned out a sickle and said, "Let's go." ”

Out of the courtyard, Dr. Wang immediately turned around and locked the door, and then walked towards the hill behind the house with a bamboo basket in one hand and a sickle in the other.

In late autumn, some of the grass and trees have withered and yellowed, and the mountain road that few people walk has been covered by weeds.

Doctor Wang didn't speak, and Bai Mingxuan didn't dare to ask, so the two walked in silence.

The arrival of the two alarmed the creatures in the mountains, unknown flying insects flew out of the grass, and several birds flew into the sky from close distance.

Dr. Wang walked in front, wielding a sickle from time to time to cut off the branches that blocked the way, so the speed was not fast.

Half an hour later, the two stopped in a relatively empty area, where there were no tall trees, only low shrubs and flowers.

"Alright, it's almost here, let's find some honeysuckle today! Pick it up and keep it for tea in the winter. ”

Dr. Wang threw the bamboo basket to the ground, walked towards a shrub, and pulled a branch, "Look, this is honeysuckle." ”

Bai Mingxuan walked over with a basket on her shoulder, looking at the cluster of yellow and white flowers on this emerald green branch, trembling gently in the breeze, showing a beauty full of vitality.

"Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is called honeysuckle because it is white at the beginning and then yellow at the beginning. Honeysuckle is sweet and cold, can dissipate wind and heat, can clear heat and detoxify, is suitable for body heat, rash, spots, heat poisonous sores and carbuncles and sore throat, all have significant effects. ”

Doctor Wang picked a cluster of honeysuckle and threw it into Bai Mingxuan's basket and explained.

Bai Mingxuan slandered in her heart, Dr. Wang really let himself understand and learn as much as he could, if he was really an eight-year-old rural girl, he really couldn't understand, fortunately, he had read books in his previous life, and his soul was an adult.

But in fact, Dr. Wang has always taught his apprentices like this, and now he didn't take into account that he was teaching a little girl who had never read a book, and while talking, he thought that he had always been taciturn, and now he personally told this cheap apprentice sentence by sentence, which really had to be meticulous.

"Okay, you can pick all this honeysuckle." After speaking, Dr. Wang turned around and picked up his basket and medicine hoe to dig up medicinal herbs.

Bai Mingxuan carried the basket in her arm, picked flowers with one hand, grabbed a handful, and it didn't take long for her to finish picking all the honeysuckle.

Looking at the golden-yellow and silver-white honeysuckle in the basket, and going through the effect of honeysuckle in his heart again, Bai Mingxuan nodded with satisfaction, it seems that he still has a little talent! Then he took the basket and turned back to find Dr. Wang.

After looking for two circles, Bai Mingxuan found Dr. Wang in a hidden bush.

When I walked in, Dr. Wang was kneeling on one knee under a low tree, engrossed in what he was hoeing with medicine, and he didn't even know what he was doing.

Seeing that Dr. Wang was so serious, Bai Mingxuan didn't dare to disturb, and stood silently by the side and watched.

When Dr. Wang carefully dug out the things in the soil, gently shook off the soil, and was about to put it in the basket, he found Bai Mingxuan behind him and explained:

"This is Polygonum multiflori, also known as Polygonum multiflora, purple wisteria, and nightshade vine, which is mostly found in valley shrubs, hillside understory and ditch side stone crevices. The root is used as medicine, which can calm the nerves and nourish the blood, activate the meridians and detoxify, and the preparation of Shou Wu can replenish the blood and black hair, strengthen the bones and kidneys, and is a precious and fine medicinal material. ”

Bai Mingxuan nodded, I had also heard of this He Shou Wu in his previous life, because of its special effects, it had been sought after for a while, it seems that He Shou Wu here is quite valuable, I should write it down.

Doctor Wang looked at the honeysuckle picked in Bai Mingxuan's basket, the flower pattern was complete, there were no miscellaneous leaves, nodded with satisfaction, and said as he walked:

"There is a peanut that is very similar to honeysuckle, called Broken Intestine Grass, which is highly poisonous and can be fatal if eaten by mistake."

Speaking of this, he took a few quick steps and tore off a flower branch, "This is the Broken Intestine Grass." ”

Bai Mingxuan took it and took it in his hand to observe it carefully.

The small orange-yellow flowers, corolla funnel-shaped, clusters of flowers, look very cute, people can't imagine that this is actually a poisonous weed, it seems that this picking herbs also needs to be extra careful, otherwise it will kill people!

waited until Bai Mingxuan memorized its appearance by heart before throwing it away.

Next, Dr. Wang taught Bai Mingxuan to recognize several medicinal materials, and half a day passed quickly.

Back at the house, Dr. Wang instructed Bai Mingxuan to process the medicinal herbs, put the honeysuckle in the yard to dry, and began to clean He Shou Wu again, ready to concoct it......

After most of the day, Bai Mingxuan saw that it was not early, so she said goodbye to Dr. Wang and prepared to go back.

"Wait a minute, you helped me so much today, I still have some honeysuckle, you can bring some back to make tea." Doctor Wang called out to Bai Mingxuan and handed her a bamboo jar.

Bai Mingxuan was surprised and delighted, surprised that Dr. Wang, who doesn't like to socialize, would actually send things like a villager, I didn't expect to learn so much knowledge for free, and the teacher also gave gifts, it seems that this teacher is looking for a good job!

"Yes, thank you, Dr. Wang!" Bai Mingxuan hurriedly took it and thanked him.

"Well, come back the day after tomorrow when you have time, be careful on the road." Doctor Wang was still expressionless, waved his hand, and turned to enter the house.

By the time Bai Mingxuan returned home, the sun was about to set, and the Bai family members came back one after another.

"Sister, what are you holding in your hand?" The first to discover what Bai Mingxuan had in his hand was Bai Mingwei, who was about to enter the door, and when she saw a bamboo tube, she thought it was something delicious, and her eyes lit up instantly. Bai Mingxin behind him also stared with wide eyes.

"It's honeysuckle, which is used to make tea." Bai Mingxuan, who likes to drink tea, is very happy.

"Ohβ€”it's for tea." When Bai Mingwei heard this, her eyes quickly dimmed, and her disappointment was overflowing. Bai Mingxin also immediately looked away.

When Bai Mingxuan saw it, she smiled and said, "When my sister has something to eat, I will definitely leave a copy for you." ”

"My sister has to count when she speaks! I've written it down! Bai Mingwei became happy again when she heard this, her eyes rolled, and she turned around and said, "Mingxin, did you hear it too?" ”

Bai Mingxin didn't understand how to get involved with himself, and nodded stunned.

"Mingxin, come in! Don't block at the door. At this time, Tao suddenly came out from the side, glanced at a few people, and pulled Bai Mingxin over.

Bai Mingxuan sneered and hurriedly took Bai Mingwei into the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I met the white lady.
