Chapter Thirty-Seven: In the Mountains, Leisurely Collecting Medicine

When she woke up in the morning, Sophie had already made breakfast. White rice porridge and a stir-fried scrambled egg with wild vegetables. The wild vegetables were dug by Sophie and Jiang Xiaowen yesterday by the ditch. There is a small ditch in the southeast of Lujia Village, and there is a shallow mountain spring water pool at the bottom of the ditch, and Land Rover often went to swim in the waterhole when he was a child. Behind the lush aquatic plants on both sides of the ditch, fresh wild vegetables are overgrown.

With steamed buns and small pieces of bacon, everyone ate very comfortably.

After eating, Land Rover went to the old Chinese medicine doctor and prepared to go into the mountains to collect medicine together. Sophie and Jiang Xiaowen didn't go together today, they planned to take advantage of the sunny weather and sunshine, they could wash their clothes and give Lele a bath. Because there was no electricity or signal in the village, Jiang Xiaowen's mobile phone was also pressed under the pillow, and it was almost forgotten. Her cell phone syndrome turned out to be cured by the mundane farm life.

At this time, the third uncle and the third aunt came to visit the door, and the third uncle learned that the Land Rover was going to enter the mountain, and happily said that he wanted to go too.

In this way, Land Rover and the third uncle came to the pharmacy of the old Chinese medicine doctor and found the old Chinese medicine doctor, two old and one young, three of them set off with bamboo baskets and medicine collection tools!

The three of them came to the foot of the North Mountain, which is lush and green, which is the slope with the most varieties of medicinal herbs and the best quality of the three mountains.

The third uncle found that there was a rabbit nest in the ridge at the foot of the mountain, and now it was an extraordinary time, especially after the village chief held a meeting to call on everyone to save rations, the third uncle also had a sense of jungle. If there is a harvest in the rabbit nest, there will be meat to eat again these days.

The third uncle's family is different from the Land Rover family, which does not raise any livestock, but raises two cows. On the one hand, the third uncle went into the mountains to help pick herbs, and also gave his cows some alfalfa and sheep grass as reserve feed.

The two cows are in the prime of life, producing fresh milk for the third uncle and three aunts, and the couple often send some to the Land Rover family. But now you can't kill cows for meat, it's stupid to fish for all your might.

So the third uncle and the third aunt are actually equivalent to not being able to eat fresh meat.

Then before the medicine is collected, this rabbit nest cannot be let go.

As we all know, the methods of catching hares include iron clips, dog bites, poisoning, net catching, etc., but the third uncle did not bring any rabbit catching tools at all, and Land Rover did not bring Lele over.

Lele is also a white ride, a teddy dog, its role is limited to selling cuteness, it is really difficult to catch rabbits......

The third uncle has a local method, he and Land Rover used the pickaxe, shovel, sickle, etc. to dig seven or eight traps, with grass and trees and false soil as a cover, this kind of trap is actually used to pick up leaks, and wait for the rabbit a reason, the rabbit of the thief is difficult to be fooled, but it is not excluded that some rabbits with low IQs are not excluded.

After that, the three of them walked up the hill on the grass and the messy branches.

Standing on the slope of the hill, I can see that the adobe houses in the village are scattered, while the central street is empty, and the doors of each house are closed, only the playground of the village is small, people play cards, chess, laundry, and children play various games, as if it is a peerless and independent Eden.

Further afield, at the foot of the West Mountain, there are several factories with white roofs reflecting the harsh sunlight, forklifts and other tools parked at the base of the mountain, and piles of iron ore that have been smashed into pieces. A large number of **, fuses, nitrate, sulfur and chemicals used to make improvised explosives are piled up in the factory. These materials were made into explosives to be used to blast mines and collect ore, and the reserves of explosives were so large that the village chief planned to buy them for two years.

The mine was empty when it was not in operation, and the former village chief's place of profit was now a deserted place. Land Rover suddenly had a long-term idea, which was to use the village's unique resources such as iron ore and iron ore processing tools to make some equipment that was more conducive to resisting the invasion of zombies, such as iron weapons and shields. However, these ideas are not necessary now, and the top priority of the whole village at the moment is to grab the summer grain, and about the manufacture of iron equipment, let's find an opportunity to plan and implement it in the future. We must look at the problem from the perspective of development.

……

Looking out of the village, there are patches of yellow and ripe rice fields, and the wind blows the wheat waves, and it seems that you can smell the familiar fragrance of wheat. The third uncle pointed to the southwest and said, "That piece of land is my family's land, Huzi, your family's land is next to it." Looking at it this way, the rain in the past few days did not cause major losses, but made the wheat finally pull up a little higher, hehe......"

"I hope that the village chief will make a plan to leave the village as soon as possible, and everyone is looking forward to harvesting," the old Chinese medicine doctor said in a deep voice: "The relationship between the peasants and the land is very deep, and the wheat is the farmer's child." ”

As the son of a farmer, Lu Hu had never done much farm work, and after hearing the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor, he sighed a little embarrassed.

When the three of them entered the mountain, there was a slope full of all kinds of herbs that were growing well.

Under the guidance of the old Chinese medicine doctor, the Land Rover carefully collected it with a sickle. The third uncle went to cut the grass not far away, and Land Rover asked the third uncle to be careful, mark it along the way, and run back and forth when in danger. The third uncle often comes to the mountain, and he is very familiar with the environment, so naturally he doesn't need to make a mark or anything, but he is still a little moved by his concern for Land Rover. After all, the third uncle has no children under his knees, and regards Land Rover as his own son. The third uncle knows that Land Rover has not been home for a few years, the third uncle understands him, every young person wants to go out and break into the world of flowers, and does not want to come back to be poor, the third uncle does not think that Land Rover does not come back is a sign of filial piety, just now I heard Land Rover care about him, he is more convinced of this, Land Rover will always be a good boy in his eyes.

By noon, the bamboo baskets on the shoulders of Land Rover and the old Chinese medicine doctor were filled with all kinds of herbs. The two sat in the shade of the tree to rest, the mountain spring water tinkling, Land Rover and the old Chinese medicine doctor drank the cool spring water with a little sweetness, the body and mind were refreshed, and the fatigue of the morning was relieved. The herbs of the bamboo basket of the two are basically commanded by the old Chinese medicine doctor in the back, and the land rover is cut by hard work, before the land rover does not become a blood player, his physical strength is not so good at all, and the game upgrade has also greatly improved his physique, and the work is greater than the work of the mountain picker in a day, but he is still not tired, if the bamboo basket is not stuffed, he can also collect more herbs.

"Huzi," the old Chinese medicine doctor said, sitting against the rock wall, "Thank you for helping me collect medicines, these medicines are enough to treat the villagers for a long time." ”

"It's okay, it's exercise anyway, and you helped me cure my mother and Jiang Xiaowen, I don't know how to thank you for the old man."

"Hehe, doctors have always taken saving lives and helping the injured as their professional ethics, don't mention any thanks, in my life, as an attending physician in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, I have never received a red envelope, unlike today's doctors, who can make profits and get rich by red envelopes, that is ill-gotten gains, and the sacredness of the word doctor is extinguished."

"Uncle, what you said is that after you retired, you gave up the life of the big city and came to your hometown and small village to continue to serve the people, this spirit is what our younger generations should learn!"

"Hey, no, don't you just want to be comfortable and leisurely in the countryside." The old Chinese medicine doctor turned his face and suddenly asked, "By the way, Huzi, are the words you said to the villagers in the village that day true?" ”

"What?"

"It's just that you say that the big cities outside are all safe and sound, and there are no infected people, I think you are lying."

"Hey, the villagers are very simple and kind, and their children are all working in big cities other than home, so I can't tell the truth."

"I can understand," the old Chinese medicine doctor patted Land Rover's shoulder, groaned slightly, and said: "My only relative is my daughter, she is 22 years old this year, studying at the medical school of Zhengzhou University, she goes back to the village to see me once a month, but she didn't come a few days ago, I have an ominous premonition, maybe the outside is occupied by zombies, and my daughter may also ......"

"Uncle, don't think about it," Lu Rover comforted: "You have served the people all your life, done good deeds, good people have good rewards, and your daughter must be blessed and have a great life." ――By the way, a few days ago, when we were stationed in the yard shop, we could still receive radio waves, which were sent by the military, saying that at least 10 areas in the province are controlled by the military, and there are no zombies in the control area......

"Really?! Does Zhengzhou have a military-controlled area? The old Chinese medicine doctor asked eagerly.

"Yes! I still remember that it seems to be Liuzhai Town in Xinmi City, where most of the uninfected people who escaped from Zhengzhou were placed there, and it is very likely that your daughter will ...... there."

"I hope so!" The old Chinese medicine doctor sighed and said, "Huzi, do me a favor." ”

"Uncle, just say it."

"If you have the opportunity, you go to Zheng Zhou and help me find my daughter, her name is Xu Wanyun, she has long hair and double eyelids, and her nickname is Wan'er......"

The old Chinese medicine doctor was talking and talking, but he unconsciously burst into tears. Land Rover agreed to the old Chinese medicine doctor's request, saying that if he went to Zhengzhou, the first thing he would do was to help him find his daughter.
