Chapter 5 Ascending the Mountain
"I don't know where to get herbs in town?" Su Lan said to himself.
It turned out that Su Lan went into the mountain this time to dig herbs, and wanted to use this to subsidize the family.
Thinking that Su Lan was often abused by Zhu Hongjie in her previous life, and she didn't have the money to go to the hospital to see her injuries, so many times she treated herself according to the medicine in the medical book, which has the properties of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.
After ten years, she has been a bit sick for a long time, at least she has recognized the wound medicine.
During the five days of resting at home, Su Lan remembered that in his previous life, when he was cutting pigweed in the back mountain, he had seen a lot of herbs.
At that time, I didn't know it, I thought it was just weeds, but now I think about it, it's all money!
It's just that the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, Su Lan has been in for almost half an hour, and her back basket is only shallow with a layer of herbs.
"It's strange, I remember my previous life, there were a lot of herbs in this forest! Why is there no such thing now? Su Lan recalled that along the way, there were traces of picking in many places, and he couldn't help but wonder if they had all been picked away.
"Do you want to go deep into the mountains?" Su Lan looked at the obviously underlit mountain forest in front of him and hesitated.
It is known that there are wild beasts in the depths of this mountain, so no one has ever dared to enter them, but it is precisely because of this that Su Lan thinks that there should be a lot of herbs inside.
In the end, Su Lan remembered the creaking bed board last night, and the sound of his parents sighing behind their siblings, so he decided to go in.
Just like Su Lan thought, no one dared to come in this deep mountain, so there were really a lot of medicinal herbs.
Not long after she came in, she already had a small half-frame of herbs in her basket.
Su Lan's face finally had a little joy, but there was a sudden sound in the grass next to her, and she was so frightened that she quickly picked up the wooden stick on the ground and held it in her hand.
In my heart, I silently prayed: Don't be a beast!
Su Lan stared at the grass firmly, but there was no movement after that.
I don't know where Su Lan got the courage, so he actually walked towards the grass.
Su Lan carefully took the wooden stick and pushed away the grass, followed by Su Lan's voice full of surprise, "What a beautiful bird!" ”
Behind the grass is a small bird with bright red feathers, and what is even more strange is that there is a dull feather dangling there on the top of its head, which is very cute.
Su Lan's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he carefully picked up the bird, "Little guy, are you injured!" When he got closer, Su Lan saw the black blood stains on the little guy's wings.
"You've been bitten by a poisonous snake! Now it's a problem! Su Lan frowned.
If the bird was only injured, she could do it, but it would be a bit difficult to say that it was bitten by a poisonous snake.
"I'm trying to help you squeeze out the poisonous blood, it might hurt a little, you can't peck me!" Su Lan actually talked to a bird stupidly, and he didn't care if people understood it or not.
Su Lan picked and chose in the back basket, and finally she found a herb with detoxifying properties.
"Right now, we can only use dead birds as live bird doctors!" Su Lan looked solemn.
I don't know if this little guy really understood Su Lan's words, and then no matter how Su Lan tossed his injured arm, he didn't resist, and Su Lan was also relieved to see this.
You must know that the faster you struggle, the faster the toxin flows, and then this little guy is afraid that he will really die.
About ten minutes later, Su Lan looked at the little guy with herbs in his hand and didn't dare to move.
"You can go home with me first, and when the wound is completely healed, I will release you." Su Lan said as he put the little guy in his back basket.
Seeing that the time was almost up, to avoid worrying about his mother, Su Lan also decided to go back.
It's just that what Su Lan didn't expect was that she had just come out of the mountains and met an acquaintance.
"Grandpa Xu, why did you come out of the mountains?" Su Lan looked at Xu Yuannian who came out from the other side and greeted him very politely.
Xu Yuannian, a barefoot doctor in the mountains, this time Su Lan was able to escape from death, also thanks to other people's medicine.
"Go into the mountains to collect some medicine, but you little girl, who is so seriously injured, what are you doing when you don't come out to recuperate at home?" Xu Yuannian's face was a little ugly.
Xu Yuannian's most annoying thing is disobedient patients, no matter how high the doctor's medical skills are, he can't cure patients who don't respect the doctor's advice!
"Grandpa Xu, don't be angry, I've been staying at home for the past few days, and I'm almost sick! And you should know about my family, I just want to help out in my capacity! Su Lan guessed the reason why Xu Yuannian was angry at once, and hurriedly explained.
Xu Yuannian frowned, he did hear some about Su Jianmin's family, thinking about the rumors in the village recently, he couldn't say more.
This is the case in rural areas, as long as it is a labor force, regardless of men and women, young and old, they will try their best to work to make money, and sometimes they are reluctant to take money to see a doctor when they are sick.
This time, Su Jianmin's family can do this for this little girl, which is rare!
"Well, then you should be careful with your own head!" Xu Yuannian is not good at socializing, so naturally he doesn't care about people.
Now I can say such things, thanks to the hardships I have endured in the village for more than ten years, if I were to change to him in the past, I am afraid that he would have been grumpy and scolding.
"Well, I will!" Su Lan smiled brightly at Xu Yuannian.
Xu Yuannian looked at the little girl's smile, and his mood improved inexplicably.
"What are you doing in the mountains, girl? Does the family know? Xu Yuannian was in a good mood, but he wanted to have a few more words with the little girl.
Thinking of Su Jianmin and his wife's concern for this girl, how could they rest assured that this little girl would enter the mountain alone?
"Grandpa Xu, don't tell my parents that I went into the mountain alone, I just want to dig up some herbs and subsidize the family!" Su Lan didn't dare to lie to Xu Yuannian, so he could only tell the truth.
But having said that, Su Lan remembered Grandpa Xu in front of him, maybe he could know where he should sell this herb?
"Grandpa Xu, do you know where to harvest herbs in the town?" Su Lan thought about it, so he asked.
"You little girl can still know herbs?" Xu Yuannian didn't answer Su Lan's words, but he didn't believe that she could know herbs.
There are not many children in this countryside who read, especially girls, and even if they do, where do they know about herbal medicine!
"I know, it's just not much, these are the ones I picked today, Grandpa Xu, you can take a look!" Su Lan saw that Xu Yuannian didn't believe it, so he handed his back basket to Xu Yuannian, along with the little bird.
Xu Yuannian took the basket and glanced inside, it was really all herbs!
But what interested him the most was the injured bird in front of him, "This is what you handled?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Su Lan's heart suddenly lifted.
