Chapter 231: Finding Medicine
Under the dense pine needle trees, there are vigorous and messy weeds, and the soil is still a little moist after a rain. It made the trees and grass look so green that the green was a little dull and inconspicuous.
Xue Rou squatted down and pulled the hem of her skirt on her lap, and then carefully peeled off the grass and saw the rain lingzhi.
Rain Reishi, as the name suggests, needs rain to grow. Despite this, Yu Lingzhi is a delicate creature. If the rain is too heavy, it will be easily broken, and if the rain is too light, it will not be able to grow very strongly.
Xue Rou gently uprooted it, put it in a bright place to take a look, and said happily, "Brother Yuan, look, a rain lingzhi that grows so strongly!" I usually see the rain lingzhi in the pharmacy, which is either too small or too thin, and there is no meat like this that is as tender and tender. This rain lingzhi is too well hidden, otherwise it would have been taken away by others a long time ago, where would it be our turn. Today is really a great luck, if this rain lingzhi is used in medicine, the medicinal effect must be wonderful. ”
Yuan Junfeng was also happy, they had just climbed halfway up the mountain, and they found the first medicinal material, which was a good start. Climbing a mountain requires physical strength, no matter how strong Xue Rou is, she is still a woman, and her physical strength is not as good as his. On the contrary, Yuan Junfeng seemed to be at ease because he had trained too much in the barracks.
There was some fine sweat on Xue Rou's forehead, and her sideburns were softly attached to her forehead, Yuan Junfeng gently helped her stroke the broken hair, "Rou'er, we are really lucky." Put it in the back of the back, it's full of mud. ”
Xue Rou responded, and put the little guy firmly into the back of Yuan Junfeng's back.
She stood up and looked at Yuan Junfeng with a smile, "Xiaozhu has also gone to look for medicinal herbs, but he won't be with us on the same mountain." I don't know what happened to him. Did you find the herb we needed? ”
The situation is urgent, although Leng Tianyi trusts his two junior disciples very much, but he is also worried that there are not so many medicinal materials on the mountain, at least to find them in batches, maybe they can ensure more complete medicinal materials.
The Rejuvenation Hall was closed for a day, and the little people inside were all sent out, and Ah Zhu took them to another mountain with a lot of medicinal herbs to look for them. In this way, the soldiers are divided into two ways, and they can laugh and laugh at the complete medicinal herbs faster.
Xue Rou rested for two minutes, and then began to continue climbing up the mountain. Because of the wet soil, it may be a little slippery, and she was busy walking up again, so she inadvertently tripped under her feet and took two steps back.
Yuan Junfeng was originally walking up with the basket on his back, when he suddenly heard the sound of sliding steps, followed by Xue Rou's panicked shout, "Brother Yuan! ”
Yuan Junfeng's heart trembled suddenly, and he turned around and grabbed Xue Rou, "Rou'er!" ”
Xue Rou held his hand and stood firm, and couldn't help but smile for the rest of her life, "It's good to have you, otherwise I might have slipped down." ”
She turned to look at the big slope and said with a casual smile, "You said that if you slip down, and there are not so many trees and grass to cover it, you might fall from the top to the bottom." I don't know how deep the ravine is. ”
Yuan Junfeng's face turned white, and when he thought of such a picture, he only felt a pain in his heart, "Bah, what are you talking about." Don't talk nonsense. How did it fall? Your shoes must be nailed to me on the road, and they must not fall down! ”
Xue Rou was amused when she heard this, and poked his puffed face, "What? Angry? Why are you so domineering, it's not like I want to jump. It's a slippery road, and you can still dig it all out? Is it, General Yuan? ”
Yuan Junfeng glared at her, "I can't smash the road away, but it doesn't mean that I can't do anything about you." Rou'er, I'll walk behind, so that I can protect you a little bit as you move forward. ”
Xue Rou stuck out her tongue, "If it's really too slippery, if I fall backwards, won't I fall backwards with you, maybe both of you will fall together." ”
Yuan Junfeng didn't care, just looked at her gently and smiled, "If you fall, you will fall, I will be your back, it won't hurt." ”
Xue Rou was speechless for a while, her heart swelled up with a little emotion, her face was also red, she turned around and stopped arguing with him, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really foul to be able to talk more and more." ”
Yuan Junfeng smiled and didn't say anything more. Just holding his hands weakly, with a little strength, ready to protect the person in front of him at any time.
The clouds faded away from the horizon, and the sun came out, and the sun shone on the land, evaporating a lot of moisture. Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng found several more medicinal herbs to put in the back, and there were more than one copy, which was enough to cure three or four people.
It's been a long time, it's almost noon, and it's time to eat. Xue Rou saw a thin stream in the mountains, and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yuan, look! There is mountain spring water here. It looks pretty clear. ”
Sure enough, it was clear, the water fluctuated, it was cool, and you could see the stones below, which were clear and translucent.
Xue Rou sat down and held a handful of mountain spring water, "Wow, it's so sweet." ”
It is indeed very sweet, cool and sweet.
Yuan Junfeng sat beside her, and also felt a little thirsty, so he fed a few mouthfuls into his mouth, "Well, it's really good." ”
Xue Rou took out a kettle bag from her pocket and filled it with a lot of water, "I drank everything I brought out in the morning, and I don't know where I'm going to go later, so let's fill a pot first." You can drink it later when you are thirsty. ”
Yuan Junfeng nodded, "What Rou'er said makes sense." ”
He took out the dry food he had brought in the morning from his pocket, "Are you hungry, Rou'er, do you want to eat a little?" ”
Xue Rou grinned and said, "Why do you need to eat cold if you can eat hot?" Let's keep this dry food. I just saw some wild vegetables over there, and a small lake, why don't you go over and see if there are any small fish or other beasts that can be eaten, how about it, Brother Yuan? ”
Yuan Junfeng naturally listened to her. The two of them worked together, Xue Rou clapped her hands, and went to the forest to pick up a lot of dry firewood and dry grass, but Yuan Junfeng went to the lake to take a look, and sure enough, there were fish.
He picked up a middle finger-thick branch from the ground, took out the knife at the cuff, scraped the bark clean, sharpened the top, and pulled up his trousers and went into the water. He has lived in the barracks for a long time, and he has mastered the skills of survival in the wilderness. It didn't take long for two fish to fork. It's not big, but it's big enough for two people.
Xue Rou put the dry firewood aside, picked the wild vegetables she had just seen, washed them by the flowing mountain spring water, and then took them aside.
Yuan Jun lit the fire with a quick movement, and roasted the forked fish rack on it, Xue Rou walked over, his mind suddenly remembered something, and he said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yuan, I suddenly remembered." We have wild vegetables, but we don't have pots. So what to do? ”
Yuan Junfeng raised his eyes to look at her, and when he saw her embarrassed face, he suddenly laughed, "Only now do you think about it?" It's late, it's all washed. ”
Xue Rou was ashamed and angry, why didn't she think of it, and went out to bring a pot. If Yuan Junfeng could know her inner thoughts, he probably wanted to laugh even more, who went up the mountain to collect medicine and brought a pot, his little lady is too good at enjoying it, does he treat this as a picnic?
Yuan Junfeng scraped off the scales and internal organs with a knife, sighed, and buried the wild vegetables in the belly of the fish, "Although I haven't eaten it like this, it should taste good." It's all food in the mountains, so maybe it has a different fragrance. ”
Xue Rou's stomach purred, holding her knees and looking at the two grilled fish pitifully, Yuan Junfeng was about to hand the fish to her, when she suddenly heard someone behind her speak, "Brother Tai, can you give me one of these fish?" ”
Yuan Junfeng and Xue Rou both looked back and saw a man standing behind him, dressed as a scholar, wearing a white robe, although a little shabby, but obviously clean and tidy. It's just shoes, maybe because of climbing, and a lot of mud. His forehead was oozing with sweat and he looked a little embarrassed.
No one answered, he thought he hadn't heard, licked his dry lips again, and said, "Brother Tai, Xiaosheng lives at the foot of the mountain, and today I saw the first sunny day after the rain, and the mountain was foggy, and I felt surprised in my heart, so I went up the mountain to pick a wind." Who would have thought that he inadvertently broke his foot on the road, limped, and could only drag his sick leg slowly. Now I was a little hungry, and when I smelled the fragrance, I saw my brother and the girl grilling fish here, so I took the liberty to disturb them. ”
Maybe it was some scholarly atmosphere, his voice became smaller and smaller, probably embarrassed, "Brother Tai, can you give Xiaosheng one of this grilled fish?" If not, half of it will do. ”
Xue Rou looked at him, they had dry food on them, so they caught two fish, if there was no dry food, one fish might not be able to feed Yuan Junfeng.
Now look at this scholar, although he is weak, he can't eat half a fish. He looked shy and embarrassed, but he was really embarrassed.
Yuan Junfeng was a little unhappy, but he was not reluctant. It's the fish that has been so hard to bake and send it out directly, and I always feel a little uncomfortable, "Why should we give you food for nothing?" Don't you see that we only have two fish? ”
The scholar was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched his pocket, becoming more and more embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money when I went out today, and I don't have anything on me to offset it." ”
He untied the painting on his shoulder, "Why don't you think this will work?" Although I can't draw well, I can barely sell some silver on weekdays, can this be worth it? ”
Yuan Junfeng just wanted to test the other party, after all, he didn't like the kind of person who just wanted to reach out and get something without giving in return, since the scholar had this mind, it didn't hurt to catch another fish.
Xue Rou took the painting with great interest, "Really? Let me see, is it a landscape painting here? ”
She also likes art. It's just that I can't draw it myself. But I think this kind of landscape painting is very interesting.
The scholar spread out the painting and smiled at her, "That's what the girl said." My home is at the foot of the mountain, and I am a little embarrassed to say, I have studied hard for many years, but I have not taken the entrance examination, and I just want to live a leisurely life. On weekdays, I make a living by selling some calligraphy and paintings, and my favorite is this mountain. ”
The canvas is spread out, and you can see the majestic green peaks, surrounded by mist, as if you are in a fairyland on earth. There is a small house in the middle of the mountain, and vegetables and melons are grown in front of the door. The details of the mountain are revealed, and the plants can be seen clearly. Xue Rou's eyes lit up, she didn't know how to paint, but she also felt very meaningful.
Rubbing his fingers, he suddenly saw a familiar herb, as if he could smell the fragrance of the medicine through the picture, wasn't this the Qingqi grass that they hadn't found in the morning that could detoxify and invigorate the blood?
