Chapter 182: Searching for Medicine in the Mountains
I know, Qianqian, the previous thing was wrong for my mother, I shouldn't treat you like that, this is a thousand ways and ten thousand, we are still a family, your younger brother and sister, I have to ask you to help more in the future. ”
Mother Qian stepped forward, held Qian Qianqian's hand, lowered her head slightly, and said very humbly, it seems that Qian Yao's poisoning this time has hit her hard.
"Mother, don't worry, Brother Yao is my closest person, who do I help if I don't help them? You take good care of Brother Yao'er, and I'll go find medicine for him. ”
Qian Qianqian patted the back of Qian's mother's hand, pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and walked straight out after speaking.
Since Dafang and Sanfang can use such poisoning methods, it is better for Qian Qianqian to take this opportunity to make Qian's mother rein, and also let Dafang and Sanfang steal chickens and rice.
In the past two days, the pickle shop was closed, and the hot pot restaurant was all handed over to Tongbo, and the fields in Qianjia Village were watched by Baishi, so Qian Qianqian concentrated on finding medicine and detoxification for Qian Yao.
Other medicinal materials Qian Qianqian have been bought in the pharmacy in Lianzhou City, and there is only the fresh goose intestine grass and ramie root left, the ramie root is easy to find, and it is generally available in the mountains, but the goose intestine grass is not easy to find, and it has to be found in the deep mountains and old forests.
So after thinking about it, Qian Qianqian still decided to go back to Qianjia Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are several mountains behind it, which is a good place to grow herbs, and she also happens to use it.
It's just that when Qian Qianqian was about to leave the town, she passed by a dim sum shop, and there were two women in it who looked very familiar, and she couldn't help but stop.
"Auntie, third aunt, it's been two days in a row, haven't you returned from the town yet?"
Qian Qianqian raised her voice, stood outside the dim sum shop, and saw that the eldest aunt Zhao was holding a piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, and when she was about to taste it, she suddenly heard Qian Qianqian's voice.
The eldest aunt and the third aunt looked at each other, exchanged glances, slowly put down the pastries in their hands, and walked in front of Qian Qianqian.
"Your third aunt and I haven't been to the town for a long time, so I want to stay a few more days, just to buy some food for your grandma, Qianqian, your business is booming, it's just a matter of not recognizing us, why don't you even recognize your own grandparents, and don't say that you will prepare some things to go back to see their old man."
The eldest aunt glanced at Qian Qianqian up and down, and a cold smile appeared on her face, she really ate people and didn't spit out bones, so Qian Qianqian had no conscience.
"The business in the town is busy, I can't get out of the way, if my grandmother is willing, you can come to the town to live with us, my mother and I are welcome at any time, after all, it is a family, I still understand the law of benevolence and filial piety."
Qian Qianqian was calm, her eyes were full of ridicule, last time because of that chicken, the old man Qian was so frightened that he had no master, and fled in a hurry, how could he dare to go back and throw himself into the net? So this is not to blame Qian Qianqian at all.
"Where are you going with this basket on your back?"
The third aunt was afraid of revealing her feet, so she gave the eldest aunt a look, and the conversation changed and led the topic elsewhere.
"Go back to Qianjia Village, didn't my aunt say that I don't know how to go back and take a look, I'll go back today, do you want to come with me?"
Qian Qianqian suddenly raised her eyes, with a shallow smile on her face, her eyes were full of temptation, and she didn't say a word about Qian Yao's poisoning, and she didn't seem to be flustered at all.
"This Brother Yao is sick now, why do you still have the leisure to go back to Qianjia Village? Shouldn't Dr. Zhao see a doctor for Brother Yao? ”
The third aunt was a little confused, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qian Qianqian's gourd, which was not at all what she expected.
"Illness is naturally something to see, but some things can't be left behind, birth, old age, sickness and death are all providential, if Brother Yao is really infected with the plague, there is no cure, and the rest of the family will always have to live, isn't it?"
Qian Qianqian was unmoved, with a smile and ridicule on her face, which made the eldest aunt and third aunt more and more confused for a while, thinking in her heart, could it be that Qian Qianqian has been cold-blooded to such a point that she doesn't even care about her own brother?
"If you don't come with me, I'll go first, and I'll have to open my doors for business in a few days."
Qian Qianqian saw that the eldest aunt and the third aunt did not speak, so she broke the peace with her words, the eldest aunt and the third aunt Mumu nodded, and Qian Qianqian immediately walked away.
Looking at Qian Qianqian's back, the eldest aunt and the third aunt were drumming in their hearts, only feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't ask each other directly, otherwise they would be too anxious, and they would have some ghosts.
The smile on Qian Qianqian's face gradually dissipated, if she guessed correctly, the eldest aunt and the third aunt must have stayed in this town to monitor their family, if Qian Yao's illness did not improve, they would take the lead in making trouble in three days.
Before leaving, Qian Qianqian had already explained, let the three Qian Fen sisters and brothers and Qian's mother guard Qian Yao day and night, never leaving an inch, all food must be guaranteed to be absolutely safe, and the business should be put in advance, and it is most important to be optimistic about Qian Yao.
Although Qian's mother is weak and doesn't have any ideas on weekdays, Qian Yao is her life-root, and she won't joke with Qian Yao's life, so she will definitely do as Qian Qianqian tells her.
Back to Qianjia Village, Qian Qianqian did not go back to the old house, Qian Yao is now critically ill, she must find herbs as soon as possible, if she goes back to the former home, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not meet the old man and the old lady, more things are better than less things, she still hides better.
"Qianqian, why are you back?"
Just when Qian Qianqian was about to make a detour, Liu Han happened to come to meet her, and he hadn't seen her for several days, and Liu Han was still a little excited.
"Brother Liu Han, I want to go up the mountain to dig up some herbs, can you lend me the shovel at home?"
Qian Qianqian immediately came back to her senses, thinking that it was not enough for her to have this basket, but when Liu Han came, she took the opportunity to get some utensils.
"Of course you can, but what are you doing digging herbs? Is there anyone in the family who is sick? ”
Liu Han was very puzzled, and at the same time his heart became nervous.
"Brother Yao'er caught a cold and contracted the wind cold, which was not a big deal, but he was too young, and the herbs in the pharmacy were too bitter for him to drink, so I wanted to find some fresh herbs and stew some medicinal food for him, so that he could recover as soon as possible."
Qian Qianqian didn't tell the truth, since Qian Yao's matter has not yet reached Qianjia Village, it is better not to publicize it, so as to save the eldest aunt and the third aunt from taking the opportunity to splash dirty water.
"I see, you really work hard for this family, this mountain forest is deep and dense, there are often wild beasts, why don't I go with you, and take care of each other."
Liu Han put down the hoe on his shoulder, the coarse linen clothes on his body were stained with a lot of mud, his skin became more and more tanned under the sun, and he showed two rows of white teeth when he smiled, looking very honest and simple.
"No need, I used to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables before, this kind of thing doesn't bother me, you better go home quickly, Aunt Liu should still be waiting for you to have lunch."
Qian Qianqian smiled slightly and politely rejected Liu Han, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from Liu Han.
Liu Han also saw the reluctance on her face, so he didn't force it anymore, just went home and got her a shovel and left.
Qian Qianqian went straight up the mountain, and now the villagers of Qianjia Village are all planting the hybrid rice she promoted, and life is much better, so few people go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables for food, and the wild grass jungle in the mountain is much denser.
It didn't take long for Qian Qianqian to successfully find the ramie root, dig some with the shovel in her hand, and go straight into the mountains, looking for goose intestine grass.
But the deeper the forest, the less sunlight penetrates outside, and the darker it becomes, even though Qian Qianqian is careful, but she still doesn't know what she stepped on, and suddenly slipped, her body moved down, and she rolled down a steep slope.
"Ahh
Qian Qianqian couldn't help screaming, her body rolled violently in the grass, and the world suddenly spun in front of her, and it took a while before she finally stopped.
The slightest pain on her body hit, Qian Qianqian couldn't help sighing, her hands were on the ground, and she finally got up, the skirt on her body had already been torn, and it was stained with a lot of grass and mud.
"Hiss-" Qian Qianqian looked at the blood marks on her hands that had been pierced by the rocks and branches, and immediately frowned, endured the pain, tidied up her hair and clothes, picked up the back basket and shovel, and continued to walk forward.
When she was about to pass under a tree, Qian Qianqian's footsteps paused, and her face suddenly changed, and on the treetop in front of her, there was a long snake covered in green.
Qian Qianqian recognized this snake as Zhu Yeqing, who made the villagers frightened, and at the same time, the snake also found her, and was spitting letters at her, as if eager to try.
I really didn't expect to come out to find a medicine, so many accidents could happen, Qian Qianqian's heart gradually hung in her throat, she moved back quietly, pinched the shovel in her hand a little, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Just as the poisonous snake attacked her, she immediately waved the shovel in her hand, and cut exactly seven inches of the poisonous snake, and the poisonous snake immediately fell to the ground and struggled violently.
Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, raised her feet and stepped over the poisonous snake, and strode forward, fortunately, she had learned taekwondo and had the experience of going to the countryside to teach, which caused her to encounter a poisonous snake and still be in danger, otherwise she would have become the poisonous snake's meal by now.
After running for a while, Qian Qianqian's physical strength was exhausted, she stopped, stood by the trunk and panted, she slowed down for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes, but was attracted by a few strange-looking weeds in front of her.
She walked in slowly, bowed down, carefully looked at the weeds, and was overjoyed in her heart, she had seen the appearance of the goose intestine grass in the medical book, and now it seemed that she had found it.
Qian Qianqian immediately stretched out her hand and pocketed all these goose intestine grasses, and when only the last few plants were left, she suddenly came back to her senses, and she seemed to think of something in her heart.
Although the medicinal field in the space is growing well, there are not many types of medicinal materials, if she transplants this goose intestine grass into the space, won't there be more flavored medicine in her hand?
Thinking of this, Qian Qianqian carefully dug out the roots of the goose intestine grass, put them aside, and when she brought the medicinal herbs back to detoxify Qian Yao, she went into the space to plant them.
Just as Qian Qianqian was about to turn around and leave, she was suddenly attracted by a touch of bright red in front of her, and she immediately turned her face sideways, only to see that there seemed to be a few brightly colored fruits in the green grass, which looked very familiar.
Even though it was important to detoxify Qian Yao, Qian Qianqian still couldn't let go of her curiosity, walked over slowly, and took a closer look, but she didn't expect to make a major discovery.
