Chapter 4 Ascending the Mountain
By the time the three of them reached the mountain, the sun had already risen high.
"Yan'er, Xiao Nan, you follow me closely, the periphery is still a little dangerous," Mu Bai reminded beside him.
"Brother, don't worry, I can protect myself, let's dig a few traps first, and come back to see when we come back."
Mu Bai nodded, found a vacant lot, took a machete and began to dig a hole, Mu Yan and Xiao Nan spread a layer of hay on top of the dug hole. In a short time, 7 or 8 traps were completed.
"Brother, let's go inside, there aren't many wild vegetables left in this periphery, there should be a lot inside, maybe you can come across any ginseng, hemostatic herbs and other medicinal materials."
"Yan'er remembers the medicinal herbs?"
"Of course, don't forget, my mother will know some herbs, and I only know some of them under the influence of my mother." The mother of the original owner made a living selling herbs, and also had some friendship with Dr. Yu.
The three of them continued to walk into the mountains, talking and laughing, while Mu Yan taught Mu Bai and Xiao Nan to recognize herbs. I have to say that this cheap brother and younger brother are amazing, and you can remember it once you say it.
"Brother, you're so good, just remember it once you say it, how can we stupid people live." Mu Yan couldn't help but tease him.
"Stinky girl, make fun of your brother, isn't it." The elder brother is going to play his sister's brain.
Mu Yan jumped away with a smile and exclaimed, "Wow, brother, look, this is a large piece of cassia, great." ”
"Cassia has the effect of clearing the liver and eyes, laxative, and can also treat headaches, high blood pressure and other diseases. Quick, we're all picked. ”
Mu Yan's face was full of excitement, Mu Bai was amused, and said: "Yan'er is a real genius, she knows so many herbs with her mother at such a young age." Hey, what is high blood pressure? ”
Mu Yan chuckled mentally, took a pause in his hand to collect medicine, lowered his head and said, "I don't know what high blood pressure is, but I just heard my mother talk to others." "Huh, brother, don't pursue it, otherwise she will be exposed.
Mu Yan hurriedly changed the topic, and then spoke: "Brother, if you can, do you like to continue to study or practice martial arts, or medical skills?" ”
Mu Bai's expression was gloomy for a moment: "If I have a choice, I want to practice martial arts, so that I can protect Yan'er and Xiaonan." ”
"I chose to go into business, so that I can make a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about not having enough to eat." Xiao Nan also said.
Capturing the gloom in his brother's eyes for a moment, Mu Yan's psychology was slightly astringent, and he said seriously: "Brother, I will definitely find a way to let you study and practice martial arts at the same time." Although his spatial level is very low now, Mu Yan still has a glimmer of hope, hoping to unlock the martial arts secrets left by his predecessors in the space.
Then he said to Xiao Nan: "Xiao Nan, you will follow the second sister in the future, and the second sister will take you to business." However, you have to go to the academy for a few years first. ”
"Okay, okay......" Xiao Nan responded excitedly.
Mu Yan didn't speak, and continued to collect the medicine in his hand.
She wanted to ...... After earning money for the New Year, let my brother continue to study, as for martial arts cheats, if there is no space, I will hire a master to teach my brother.
Along the way, the three of them worked together, and they picked a basket full of herbs, such as cassia seeds, dandelions, etc. Wild vegetables such as shepherd's cabbage and bracken were also dug up a lot.
At noon, the two met their neighbors Aunt Wang and Begonia.
Aunt Wang is the daughter-in-law of her neighbor Chai Dazhu and gave birth to two children, the eldest son is named Chai Haiming, who is the same age as his brother, 15 years old, and the youngest daughter is called Chai Haitang, who is the best friend of the original owner.
"Smoke, come and sit down, rest for a while and then pick it up." Haitang happily pulled Mu Yan's arm, pulled Mu Yan to a big stone, and sat down.
"Smoke girl, your head is fine." Aunt Wang said to Mu Yan.
"Thank you Aunt Wang for your concern, I'm fine." Mu Yan smiled at Aunt Wang and nodded.
"Don't be so polite, our villagers should help each other, besides, when your mother is still there, she also takes very good care of our family, and sends some wild vegetables and herbs over from time to time."
Aunt Wang saw Mu Yan's sadness, so she quickly stopped, hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, what did you all pick today, is it enough, I and Begonia dug up a lot of wild vegetables." If it's not enough, we'll decorate it for you. ”
Haitang grabbed Mu Yan's arm and said, "Yan'er, you don't have to be polite to us, are we still good friends?" ”
Mu Yan was slightly stunned, and then said: "Of course we are good friends, and we will play together in the future," Since you are the best friend of the original owner, I will definitely take good care of you, Mu Yan secretly decided in his mind.
"That's right." Begonia said.
So, the five of them simply found a stone and sat down, took out the bread they brought, and made do with their stomachs.
After eating the cake and resting for a while, Mu Yan said: "Brother, Xiaonan, let's go inside, I want to pick some fruits to eat." ”
Mu Bai was dark and solemn, frowning slightly, "It's not safe inside." ”
"That's right, girl, listen to my brother, it's really not safe inside." Aunt Wang persuaded beside her.
"It's okay, I want to go in a little bit and come out in a moment."
Mu Bai looked at his sister's serious expression, and said, "Okay, but you have to listen to my arrangement." ”
This is really a favorite girl.
"Okay, let's go again, me and Haitang should go back quickly, your Uncle Dazhu and Brother Heming should be back soon, let's hurry back and cook for them."
"Then Aunt Wang, be careful." Mu Yan said.
Haitang was reluctant to let go of Mu Yan's arm, "I'll play with you again tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
The three of them continued to walk into the mountains.
"Xiao Nan, why don't you wait here, my brother and I will come out in a while." Mu Yan thought to himself that Xiao Nan was so young, he should be very tired.
"It's okay, don't forget, I'm a man, since the second sister can continue to walk, so can I."
"Okay, if you can't walk, you must tell my brother and second sister."
Xiao Nan nodded in response.
After walking for a while, Mu Yan said excitedly: "Look, it's a potato." ”
"Potatoes?" Mu Bai asked suspiciously.
"Brother, do you look at this grass, there are big round beans growing underneath this grass, so I named it a potato myself, well, it is a bean that grows in the soil."
Mu Bai was a little puzzled, how could her sister know so much, and suddenly felt a little unaware of her sister-in-law. However, in line with the principle of spoiling his sister, Mu Bai did not speak, but threw away the soil around the grass, and really saw the tender potatoes.
"How do you eat this?" Mu Bai asked.
"There are many ways to eat, you can fry it, you can steam it, I'll make it for everyone tonight."
Mu Bai didn't ask again, but continued to shave the potatoes.
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that he must take some time to talk to his brother.
"Yes, I have food tonight...... Xiao Nan said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, the dynasty of potatoes did not appear in this plane. Potatoes, or potatoes, were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the food culture of this dynasty has not yet developed.
At least Mu Yan has determined one point, that is, the food culture of the Dahua Dynasty in this plane is at least more backward than that of the Ming Dynasty, no, it is even more backward than the Yuan Dynasty.
After digging the potatoes, the three of them walked around the mountain for a while, and then they were ready to go down.
When I came to the place where the trap was set, I saw in the distance that the layer of hay covering the trap was gone.
"Wow, I must have caught the prey." Xiao Nan said excitedly.
