Volume 1 Chapter 19 Into the Mountain
Qiao Song walked in front, holding a thick branch in his hand, knocking on the surrounding or those weeds that were taller than Qiao Xi from time to time.
The roads on the mountains were all trampled out, and in a safe area, everything that could be picked up by the villagers to the side of the road was picked up, and some were only those small and pitiful ones that had not yet grown.
Therefore, Qiao Xi and they chose a road that no one has ever walked, Qiao Song was strongly opposed at the beginning, opening up a new road, the unknown danger will increase, but Qiao Xi is very persistent, only by going to a place where no one has been will there be unexpected gains.
The two of them had their own opinions, and in the end, Qiao Song, who was the eldest brother, was defeated, and he was the one who compromised, originally Qiao Xi still wanted to go to the front, but after thinking about it, the words that were ready to exit stopped in his mouth and let her eldest brother go ahead.
"Big brother, little brother, look carefully, this is plantain, its leaves are round, spread flat on the ground, it has the effects of clearing heat, brightening the eyes, expectorant and so on, this is a very common herb." Remoteness has the benefit of remoteness, and she has found several common herbs on the way in before, specializing in treating fever, cough, and abdominal pain, but only a few sporadic trees did not stop and continued to walk into the mountains.
It wasn't until she saw a large patch of plantain here that she pointed to the plantain and taught it to the eldest brother and younger brother.
"Little sister, this is the herb?" Qiao Song looked at what the little sister in front of him was referring to, and he couldn't believe it, this seemed to him not much different from weeds.
"Yes, it has the effect of clearing heat, brightening the eyes and expelling phlegm." She still doesn't know if it's herbs, in the past, it was too ordinary in her eyes, no different from weeds. Now here, even if it is ordinary, as long as it can be exchanged for silver money, then all of them are the best.
No way, here, there are very few people who know herbal medicine, unless they have some understanding of pharmacology, otherwise in their eyes, precious medicinal materials will probably be discarded like weeds. "Big brother, don't break it when you dig. I'll go over there and have a look. He pointed to the side, and the place was not far from here, and he could see it when he looked up.
Qiao Song looked at the place Qiao Xi was pointing, it was not very far from them, it was within his vision, and nodded at her.
Qiao Xi got the consent of the eldest brother and happily walked to the place in front. After a careful inspection of the neighborhood, he found a lot of skullcap trees, put down the back basket behind him, and immediately squatted on the ground and dug up.
As soon as he dug out the herbs, Qiao Xi really devoted himself to it, and unconsciously moved away from Qiao Song and them little by little.
Who told her to find so many herbs, and when she looked up to see what was going on with her eldest brother, she realized that she had actually moved places.
Wow, when did she leave there, could it be that she deviated while digging herbs.
No, she has to hurry up to find the eldest brother and the younger brother, if the eldest brother finds out that she is gone, he must be very anxious. She finally let her eldest brother relax and let her enter the mountain, she didn't want to miss this hard-won opportunity.
Looking for the way that had been overwhelmed, Qiao Xi began to walk back, and after walking for a while, she finally found her eldest brother and them, but fortunately they didn't find out that she had just disappeared for a while.
"Big brother. Take a break. "Take out the food that you prepared when you go out in the morning, and hand them one by one.
"Little sister, this place has almost been dug by us, do you want to change places." The ones left are some relatively small ones, and my sister said that she can't pick them all, and she has to leave some of them before she can pick them again next year.
"Well, I'll go after enough rest."
"Okay." I grabbed the cake in my hand and took a big bite and chewed it slowly.
After the three brothers and sisters were full of food and drink, they changed places and continued to search.
It was still the same as when entering the mountain, in front of Qiao Song, Qiao Xi and Qiao Bai were behind.
Qiao Song hit the surrounding weeds, he didn't know what he had hit, something hit Qiao Xi directly, it was too late when she noticed it, the thing was already close in front of her, and it hit her forehead with a snap, leaving a little red juice.
"Little sister, is there anything?" No one expected the sudden situation, Qiao Song asked nervously.
"It's fine." Wipe a handful on your forehead and wipe off any sticky stuff that remains on your forehead. Then she crouched down and looked at the thing that had attacked her, and when she looked closely, there was surprise in her eyes.
Hawthorn!
It's actually a hawthorn!
Looking up around them, I saw several hawthorn trees beside them, covered with small red fruits.
Rubbing to the bottom of the hawthorn tree, he excitedly pointed to the fruit on the tree and said, "Big brother, hawthorn." ”
Qiao Song thought that something made the little sister so excited, and when he saw the sour fruit she pointed to, he frowned unoilily, "Little sister, this is a sour fruit, it's too sour to taste." "He also tasted these sour fruits when he was a child, and they were sour and astringent, and they were not delicious at all.
Now even the children in the village don't pick it up and eat it!
"Whoever said that, that's the wrong way to eat." Hawthorn can have the use of stomach and digestion, how can it not be delicious. There are several ways to do it.
"What's wrong, you have a lot of ideas in your head."
"Originally, it also has medicinal value, if you have a bad appetite and can't eat, eat something made of sour fruits. can improve appetite. "This is just one of them, it can also be made into snacks for children, and it can improve children's appetite a lot.
"Little sister, what have you decided to do now? Whether you continue to pick herbs or want to pick the sour fruit. Qiao Song was very helpless, looking at the little sister's appearance, he probably didn't want to let go of these two things.
"Pick them all. I know a lot about herbs, so I'll pick them, and this sour fruit will trouble the eldest brother and younger brother to pick it. Qiao Xi happily assigned the work. As long as she encounters it, there is no reason to let it go.
"Okay, don't go far."
"I know, I definitely don't wander around, just check the neighborhood to see if there are any other herbs." Qiao Xi assured. What was before will never happen again. Put your herbs in the big brother's basket, and leave your own basket for them to use for hawthorn.
Qiao Song and his younger brother glanced at each other, yes, who made her an expert in making money, they could only let it go.
The two of them began to pick sour fruits tirelessly, and soon his back basket was full of sour fruits.
Qiao Xi also made new discoveries there, not only picked some slightly hard-to-find herbs, but also picked a lot of mushrooms and fungus, because he couldn't run too far, Qiao Xi only searched nearby, and returned to Qiao Song and them with a full load, and the three brothers and sisters rushed down the mountain with two backpacks on their backs.
