Chapter 3 Exploring Medicine in the Mountains

In early summer, the injuries on Xi Ningyu's body, which had been recuperating in the old mansion for half a month, were almost healed, but there were still some fine marks that had not completely disappeared. But this didn't affect the movement, so I took advantage of the fish to wander around the neighborhood every day after dinner.

ONE IS TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, LOOK AT THE CURRENT CUSTOMS AND LEAVE A SCORE IN MY HEART, AND THEN FROM THE WORDS OF XUE'S MOTHER LAST TIME AND THE MEMORY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER HIMSELF, THERE IS A VERY CAO EGG PROBLEM. That is, it seems that her 'father' doesn't plan to give money to support herself, so Xi Ningyu wants to think of ways to earn her own money.

It can't really be as Xue's mother said to live by eating other people's food, I don't know what the original owner is, but she, Xi Ningyu, who came from modern times, is not the character who expects others.

After a few days of wandering around and observing. Xi Ningyu found that although there were also medical skills in this era, they were far behind and too far behind compared to the medical skills of the same period in her original world.

Xi Ningyu knew that there were more than 12,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines recorded in China from ancient times to modern times, but she had inquired and observed in two pharmacies in the town in recent days, and found that there were only more than 100 medicinal materials commonly used in pharmacies in the town.

Asking some guys and doctors who knew pharmacology, Xi Ningyu estimated that there were probably more than 1,700 known medicinal materials from the medicinal materials they said. Even Xi Ningyu had seen several herbs in the mountains and forests, and the doctor here didn't even know that they were herbs, which showed how huge the difference was!

After determining this situation, Xi Ningyu was instantly happy, with the medical technology and pharmacological knowledge she had mastered in her previous life, and the herbs she saw in the mountains and forests, including several more valuable medicinal materials, there was a lot of room for maneuver. Xi Ningyu felt that she could survive easily, but now she lacked an opportunity.

Early this morning, Xi Ningyu called Yu'er out with Yu'er after breakfast, and before leaving, he saw Xue's mother's husband sitting on the wall of a small courtyard and weaving a basket with bamboo slivers.

"Uncle Wen, you are really good at weaving this basket. Looking at it is both beautiful and sturdy, I am afraid that it can be used for many years! Xi Ningyu saw that Uncle Wen was weaving the back basket, so she wanted to make two separate ones for her and Yu'er that fit their small bodies, so Xiaozui sweetly complimented her first.

"Huh...... Miss, are you going out? Don't laugh at it, it's all menial work, something that is often used. There's something nice or not, but it's useful. It's okay to make up a few and sell them for some rice and flour money. Uncle Wen heard Xi Ningyu's praise and said modestly with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Wen, don't say that, what is lowly and not cheap. This is all made up by myself, and it is also a kind of ability to have this craft. I think you're much better than those who can only fight cocks and walk dogs in addition to eating and drinking...... "Anyway, you don't wear a thousand clothes, and you don't wear a sycophant." Xi Ningyu actually picked up a nice one and praised Uncle Wen.

"Oops! Miss, don't say that, how dare I, a minion, compare with those noble sons. These jobs are not what those sons should learn, hehehe...... Miss, you and Yu'er are going out to play again? Be careful and come back early. Uncle Wen listened to Xi Ningyu's praise of him and said things that he didn't dare to do, but he was actually happy in his heart. After all, it is an honor to be praised by the master in this era.

Mother Xue came out of the room where they lived in the upside-down room with a pot of dried vegetables, and just heard Xi Ningyu slapping her ass, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't boast, look at the beautiful face of that old thing!" ”

"Mother Xue, I look at the back basket made by my uncle, and I should praise it. Besides, my boasting is also true. If I wasn't afraid of causing trouble to my uncle, I would like to ask my uncle to make two small games for me and Yu'er. Xi Ningyu said her purpose as she spoke.

"What's the trouble with that, since Miss likes it. Then I'll make two for you to play with in a while, and it won't cost much bamboo to carry a small back basket. "Uncle Wen honestly fell into Xi Ningyu's good suit, and he was happy.

"That's troublesome Uncle Wen, I'll just wait to make it up and play with it." After Xi Ningyu finished speaking, he took the fish out of the house.

Mother Xue watched Xi Ningyu become more and more active in the past few days, and finally let go of her worries. Smiled and shook his head and thought, "After all, I am still a child, nothing can be left in my heart for a long time, and I will let go of it after a few days." In this way, the eldest lady is the only one who has left such a bone and blood, thinking of her previous kindness to her family. But take good care of this young lady! ”

Walking all the way to the north gate, seeing the fish about to leave the city, he asked curiously, "Where are we going?" Why did you come all the way to the north gate? Miss, let's talk about not going out of the city. ”

"Yu'er, you said that a person always doesn't do anything, okay to eat other food?" Xi Ningyu, who looked at the fish, asked.

"That's not good!" The fish replied dumbfounded.

"yes, you don't even think it's good. Then you say that the two of us always rely on Uncle Wen's family, when will we be the head? Is it true that people don't dislike it in their hearts? Xi Ningyu looked at the fish fixedly and said with a little melancholy.

"But...... But miss, aren't the Wen family servants of our family? Isn't that what you deserve to take care of? The fish still said stubbornly.

"Really? Do I have the Wen family's documents for selling themselves? How can you be considered a domestic servant if you don't have a paperwork? Why do you keep serving me? Xi Ningyu said again.

"......." Yu'er heard Xi Ningyu's series of questions, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"So fish, we can't always rely on others like this. In case there is a day, I say just in case. The Wen family's reluctance to feed me is gone, so what should I do? Do you want to find death again? ”

"That'...... Miss, what do you have in mind? ”

Don't look at the fish at a young age, they usually look dull. But in fact, after Xi Ningyu got along for so many days, he knew that this was also an idea, as long as the reason was explained, Yu'er should also be able to think clearly that it is impossible for others to rely on it for a lifetime, and he must have the ability to survive to be safe.

"That's what I thought, the last time I ran into the mountains and forests, I saw a lot of medicinal herbs growing in the mountains. Didn't I always take you to the pharmacy in the county town a few days ago? I'm going to dig up some herbs and sell them at the pharmacy, presumably for some money. Xi Ningyu said to the fish slowly.

"Miss!! When did you know how to identify herbs, how come I don't know. I haven't seen any books you've read, have you? After listening to Xi Ningyu's idea, Yu'er immediately stared at Xi Ningyu with wide eyes and said with great confusion. Because in Yu'er's impression, her young lady has never read any books. I usually move around less, and the only time I took the initiative to go out, I still came back with injuries, and my life was almost gone.

"You learned it before I was with my mother, and my mother was fine at that time. From time to time, he taught me some medicinal herbs and some medical skills, but I couldn't use what I had learned before. Now...... I just match! Xi Ningyu casually said the reason why she knew how to medicine in her mind. After all, Yu'er was with him when the original owner was sent back to the old house, and what the original owner had learned before this, she didn't know if the original owner's mother didn't teach the original owner medicine. So it's just a good time to get through the trick and not leak a flaw.

"Oh. It turned out that the eldest lady taught it to Miss, Oh, Miss, will the herbal medicine store we pick accept it? Yu'er still asked a little uneasy.

"Yes, yes, I know. In case of...... People really don't accept it, so let's take it back and eat it ourselves. Xi Ningyu said very irresponsibly casually.

"......" Yu'er instantly felt that it was dark for a while, wondering if there was something new wrong with her young lady's injured head last time.

The two of them just talked and walked all the way out of the north gate of the small county town.

The mountain range outside the north gate is a branch vein that divides the main vein of the territory of the two countries of Western Qin and Northern Yan, and the county town calls this branch vein Pishan.

The mountains are lush with vegetation and a wide variety of animals and birds. Fortunately, some large beasts, such as tigers and leopards, are active deep in the mountains, and rarely appear on the outskirts of the mountains, so it is rare for mountain people and woodcutters to be attacked by fierce beasts.

Bishan is three miles away from the small county seat, and many woodcutters and mountain people who go up the mountain to chop firewood usually hunt small beasts in the mountains and go down the mountain to exchange for money, so Xi Ningyu and Yu'er can also see people coming and going from time to time along the way, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xi Ningyu and Yu'er just talked and laughed all the way, and it took less than half an hour to walk near the foot of Bishan Mountain. Approaching the foot of the mountain, there were many commonly used herbs, Xi Ningyu picked a few and observed them, and found that although they were all wild. However, the growth and medicinal properties are very good, as long as the medicinal properties are not lost when processing, then these herbs are of the highest quality.

What especially surprised Xi Ningyu was that she found two herbs, Polygonum multiflorum and mulberry parasitic, which were much more valuable than dandelion, artemisia annua, and motherwort. Especially the concocted He Shou Wu, and the one who goes deep into the mountains to find the old one in the future, is even more valuable...... Xi Ningyu, who was a little demented, didn't notice that the fish was holding a plant in her hand and muttering towards her.

"Miss~~ Look at this, it looks very similar to what you just dug up. Isn't it also a medicinal herb? Yu'er walked up to him, raised his hand, and poked the thing in his hand into Xi Ningyu's eyes, as if letting Xi Ningyu see it.

Xi Ningyu, who was called back to his senses by Yu'er's voice, took a step back and looked at Yu'er's hand, and his eyes widened in an instant. Raising his hand, he asked a little tremblingly, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Oh~ over there. When I saw someone digging it out and throwing it in the grass nest, I saw that it was a bit similar to the thing you dug just now, Miss, so I showed it to you. The fish looked at Xi Ningyu a little cringefully and said.

Xi Ningyu snorted, and snatched it from the fish. Tsai looked at it carefully for a moment, then smiled.

"Hahaha~~~ Fish, did you step on GOU this morning, I didn't expect this to make you pick up a baby!!"

Yu'er, who had never seen her own young lady so embarrassed, looked at Xi Ningyu with a confused face and said, "Little ...... Miss, what is this...... Treasure... Baby? ”

Xi Ningyu didn't answer Yu'er's words, and after laughing, he pulled Yu'er and turned around and walked towards the small county town.
