Chapter Forty-Eight: The Herb Picker
"What kind of medicine do you usually take?" Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Liu Man'er chatted with him, "This mountain is so big, how can you find this herb?" ”
"We usually pick some very ordinary herbs." The boy took two sips of water and explained to Liu Man'er, "For example, this kind of iron fern, a little red, chicken bone grass, etc., are very common. ”
"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, and asked again, "Do we have any particularly valuable medicinal materials in this mountain?" For example, ginseng, reishi, and so on. ”
"Nope." The boy shook his head repeatedly, "There are a lot of some poisons. ”
"Really?" Liu Man'er laughed, "I heard that the brighter the thing, the more poisonous it is, do you have any books, can you show me?" I often walk in this mountain, and I am afraid that I will touch this poisonous weed by mistake. ”
"It's usually okay to touch it, as long as you don't eat it." The young man said a little shyly, and asked Liu Man'er again: "Dare to ask where the girl is from, why is she here?" ”
He saw a green basket and a rattan basket, and he felt very strange to see Liu Man'er alone here.
"It's not a secret, I'm a fox spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years in this deep mountain, and I am specially trying to confuse a young boy like you with strong blood." The corners of Liu Man'er's mouth hooked and said leisurely.
"No, I've heard that vixens are beautiful." Although this teenager seems to be honest, he is not so easy to deceive.
"What do you mean by that? You mean I'm ugly? Liu Man'er is not happy, this person, can he speak!
"I don't mean that way, I just think the girl is a little bit alike." The young man hurriedly bowed down to apologize to Liu Man'er.
"Alright, you've drunk this water, you can leave now, right?" Liu Man'er began to chase people.
After all, in this wilderness, I suddenly met an inexplicable teenager, which is too inexplicable, right? Wait a minute, let Ye Yuan see it, and think she had something to do with him.
"Oh, but, I live up there." As he spoke, the boy pointed to a small cabin not far away.
Liu Man'er really didn't pay attention, after all, there are all trees there, and neither she nor Ye Yuan saw it, if they did, they could go to his house to borrow some salt when they were barbecuing before.
"Hey, how did you end up living here?" Liu Man'er asked a little strangely, "Aren't you afraid of this wilderness?" With a slimmed body like yours, not to mention the female goblins, you can't beat the jackals and beasts around here, right? ”
"My house is sturdy, it's fine, and if there are jackals, tigers and leopards, I can jump on this tree."
"Oh, you're pretty good, then." Liu Man'er nodded, glanced at the young man scrutinically, and asked, "Since you are a medicine boy, will you see a doctor?" ”
"A little bit." The boy said a little shyly.
"Oh, then I just got caught in the foot of a hunter made a clip in the mountains, can you help me take a look? It's not a big wound, I just want you to get me some medicine. After walking some distance, Liu Man'er felt that the wound on her foot had begun to swell.
"Aren't you a goblin? Just change your spells. The boy said with some teasing.

"I'm teasing you, my family lives in the mountains over there, I don't have money to buy medicine, can you get me some medicine? I invite you to eat loquats. Liu Man'er said, took out two yellow loquat from the rattan basket beside her, and threw them at the young man.
The young man took it, and then walked over slowly, Liu Man'er sat on the stone, took off her shoes and socks, sure enough, her feet were swollen and tall, and she didn't feel pain at first, but when the cloth strip wrapped around her feet was torn, she suddenly trembled with pain.
The young man checked Liu Man'er's wound, smiled slightly, and said, "Your good luck to meet me today, I just have such a good medicine for pain relief and swelling in my back basket, and there will be no problem if I wash it and apply it to you." ”
"Okay, thank you." Liu Man'er said happily.
The young man just put down the backpack and rummaged through it to find the right medicine, Liu Man'er also leaned over to look, and when the young man found it and took the medicine to clean it, Liu Man'er looked up, but saw Ye Yuan.
The plants with soil in his hand were tied with rattans, and at this moment, he was walking towards the willow vines, and his face was slightly ugly.
"Where did you just go? It's been more than a quarter of an hour, right? Liu Man'er looked up and asked.
The young man was startled by her voice, turned his head to see Ye Yuan, and bowed to him again, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Who is he?" Ye Yuan put down the plant in his hand and asked.
"Oh, I met a little medicine boy in the mountains, and I asked him to help me look at the wound." Liu Man'er explained.
Ye Yuan put down the things in his hand and walked over, reproaching: "You can't casually take off your shoes and socks in front of other men." ”
The young man who was washing the herbs on the side blushed a little when he heard this, but Liu Man'er asked, "Then I have already taken it off, what should I do?" ”
"Forget it, you hurt your foot this time, not next time." Ye Yuan said seriously.
But Liu Man'er was always able to find ways to make him very helpless, and she said with a smile: "Let's talk about it next time." ”
Ye Yuan's face stiffened, and Liu Man'er asked, "Didn't you just say that you were going hunting?" How did you dig up so many plants? ”
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to plant some honeysuckle in front of and behind the house? I happened to see them this time, so I dug them up, and there are camellias, and when the time comes, they will be beautiful. ”
"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, she was still a little angry with Ye Yuan just now, but at this moment, she was completely angry, she didn't expect that the last time she chatted with him, he actually wrote down the matter.
It turned out that he went to dig flowers and plants for her, well, but she misunderstood him, and he thought he was going to walk around and eat alone.
"Oh, girl, I've washed this herb for you, you can crush it and apply it to the wound, and then bandage it." The young man said and handed the herb to Ye Yuan, and then was about to leave.
Ye Yuan stopped, "Little brother, wait a minute." ”
"Anything else?" The boy turned.
"Wait a minute." Ye Yuan said and put the herb on the stone, and then walked to the stove that had just been built, and seeing his movements, Liu Man'er remembered the pheasant that had been buried in the stove by them:
"You treat me, and we'll treat you to chicken."
When he spoke, Ye Yuan had already pulled the chicken out of the stove, and it looked black outside, which was indeed not good, but Ye Yuan took out a firewood knife and tapped it with the back of the knife, and the ashes on it fell.
"It smells so good." Liu Man'er shrugged her nose, she felt too full just now, but now she felt a little hungry: "Is this called a flower chicken?" ”
"No, it's just an ordinary firewood turkey." Ye Yuan said as he ripped off a chicken leg from the chicken, handed it to the young man, and said, "Come, you take this little brother, thank you for your herbs." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, so why worry about it." The boy quickly shook his head.
"Isn't your house up there? Why don't you bring some salt and taste it with us? Liu Man'er proposed.
"Okay." After all, the young man couldn't resist the temptation of this fragrance, and after being reminded by Liu Man'er, he hurriedly ran back to his cabin on the mountain to get something.
When Ye Yuan saw him go home, he put down the food, walked to Liu Man'er's side instead, and bandaged her wounds.
Wash a stone, crush the herb with the stone, apply it to the wound, and then re-bandage her.
This herb is cold, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, Liu Man'er actually felt a lot more comfortable in the wound.
After putting on her shoes and washing her hands, she also went to the stove, waiting for the wood turkey to come.
After a few minutes, the young man hurried down, he took a basin, and when he looked closer, Liu Man'er found that he had bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers, some salt and chili powder, and a small pot of wine.
"I bought wine at the market, but no one tasted it with me." As he spoke, the boy took out the wine and laid out the other things on the flat ground.
This boy is very good at getting things done.
Liu Man'er secretly praised in her heart, and then sprinkled salt and chili powder in the bowl, Ye Yuan tore off everything on the chicken, and put it in this bowl, and Liu Man'er sprinkled some spices on it.
The young man drank with Ye Yuan, and Liu Man'er ate the meat alone, and the chicken made in this way was really fragrant, although it was only a little salt, but the taste was too tempting and delicious.
Liu Man'er looked at the two people who ate meat and drank alcohol, and suddenly felt that she was a scumbag, really, people can still roast such delicious meat, and they can also pick medicine and sell it for money in the deep mountains, just her, nothing, it is not as happy and chic as the two ancients.
A little frustrated, in addition to the underdeveloped science and technology here, Liu Man'er thinks that other handicrafts, delicacies and everything are very good, and even the skin care products that women like to use are sold here, all of which are pure natural and green, and the effect is not worse than that of the previous life.
The last time I went to town, I saw some jade skin lotion, white skin fat, jade face powder, plus skin care products such as fragrant pancreas and bath beans, not to mention good cosmetics such as rouge and green snails.
There are charcoal basins in winter and ice basins in summer, and it seems that there is money here, and in some aspects of life it will not be worse than in the previous life, but will only live more comfortably and better.
The wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, and those people in the previous life really have nothing to show off except for a little light from their ancestors and some more technology.
It's as if she Liu Man'er came to this place, except for seeing more things than others, recognizing more words, and having a wider vision, she really doesn't know anything.
She doesn't even know how to grill chicken and barbecue.
On top of that, she doesn't have any money yet!
These people can do anything, she doesn't have any loopholes, how can she make money?
It seems that only by being down-to-earth, taking one step at a time, it is really difficult to become a rich man all at once. Or go home and cultivate Ye Feng well, and when he is admitted to Xiucai, Renren, and Jinshi, then he will naturally be able to follow the development.
Come to think of it, it seems that there is only this path that is the best way to go.
