Chapter 108: Collecting Medicine

Of course, Dr. Zhao also knew that it was best for him to stay in the village to observe the patient at any time, but wasn't there no medicine in the village?

And there are few people who live herbal medicine, and even fewer people can go into the mountains to collect medicines, at this time, if Gu Jun is willing to take people into the mountains to collect medicines, he is naturally willing to stay and take care of the sick.

He looked at the prescription written down by Gu Junruo, and frowned in distress, "I still have some rhubarb, but there are none of them, such as nepeta, licorice, bupleurum and angelica, not to mention things like Sophora sophora and Scrophularia radix, so the three prescriptions you gave have to be changed." ”

Gu Junruo said: "I have already asked people to go back to the county seat to raise medicinal materials, if the speed is fast, it can be delivered before sunset tomorrow, so we have to change a prescription for today and tomorrow." ”

Zhao Sanyuan felt that it was useless to think too much, so he simply said: "Madame, let's go into the mountain to collect medicine first, see what medicine you can collect, and I'll look at it when the time comes." ”

Without medicine, what's the use of just changing the prescription?

Gu Junruo felt that what he said made sense, and immediately chose someone to go into the mountain to collect medicine.

Before entering the mountain, Zhao Sanyuan also pointed out a few places to her, all of which were places where he often went to collect medicines.

Because he often went into the mountains to collect medicines, he knew the general place where some herbs grow.

Santu also wanted to show them the way, but Zhao Lizheng was reluctant, so he brought his youngest son Zhao Zhuangxue and asked him to show them the way.

Zhao Zhuangxue is a fair-skinned and thin young man, and I heard that he has been studying hard and wants to take the exam.

When he came over and saw Gu Junruo, his face turned red, and he lowered his head to salute, "Student to meet Madame." ”

Gu Junruo saw that he was so worried that he would not be able to lead the way, so he asked, "Have you ever been in the mountains?" ”

"He has entered," Zhao Sanyuan took a handful of herbs out, stood in front of the door and said expressionlessly: "He has accompanied me into the mountains to collect medicines, and he is quite familiar with the mountains, so let him show you the way." ”

When Zhao Zhuangxue saw Zhao Sanyuan, his head was lowered, and even the tips of his ears were red.

Gu Junruo saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and didn't say anything.

Santu still wanted to go, he liked Gu Junruo very much, so he wanted to follow her, but he was pulled away by Li Zheng's ears, "Do you know that there are wolves in the mountains?" ”

Zhao Lizheng dragged him away while chanting: "Madam, they went into the mountain to collect medicine, how can they have time to take care of you, let me stay at home honestly, not allowed to go up the mountain, let alone go to the homes of sick people, you know?" ”

Santu was teared away with tears in his eyes.

Gu Junruo and the others simply ate some things, brought the dry food that Zhao Li was preparing, took a small hoe and a basket and went up the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the lush and wooded green hills, Gu Junruo distinguished the direction and said, "Doctor Zhao said that if you go south, there is a nepeta at the second col. ”

Zhao Zhuangxue thought for a while and said: "I know there, but I haven't been in the mountain for several years, and I don't know if the road to the mountain has changed, let's go south first." ”

The South Mountain Pass is not close to here, this mountain is rarely entered, so there is no complete road, there are traces in some places, they just go forward, some places do not, they need to identify the direction by themselves.

Gu Junruo followed while paying attention to the flowers and plants that he could see, and soon found plantain.

Plantain is usually found as soon as it is found, and sure enough, a piece of that grass used to be plantain.

There were some potholes, not very big, obviously dug up.

Gu Junruo stepped forward to look, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's dig some plantain." ”

Xiaobei had already memorized the prescription written down by Gu Junruo, and he memorized it again silently, and said with certainty: "But there is no plantain on the prescription." ”

Gu Junruo said: "Some patients have symptoms of diarrhea, so I think you may need to add a flavor of Shuling soup, which requires plantain." ”

When Xiaobei heard this, he immediately stepped forward to dig with the back basket on his back, and everyone immediately took action.

It may be the reason why it rained not long ago, the herbs are very easy to dig, gently hoe, and then pull it out.

Gu Junruo dug up seven or eight trees by himself, and it was not until he dug up all the plantain that was visible to the naked eye that everyone got up and continued.

Along the way, Gu Junruo found licorice on the sunny side, but unfortunately there were not many, and after digging, he walked along the mountain to the back, and was feeling the cool air, and found Mai Dong not far away.

Xiaochan still saw the purple flowers with sharp eyes, and vaguely felt like it, so she pulled Gu Junruo's sleeve.

A few people carefully held the trunk of the tree downhill, and saw that a clearing behind them was full of purple flowers, Gu Junruo couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a treasure mountain." ”

She said to the crowd: "This is the wheat winter, look for it to see if there is any old one, and dig its tubers to use." ”

And all the people went down and went to look for it.

This is a wild wheat winter, so there are several years, look at the color of the bottom of the branches and leaves, Xiaobei dug a plant, pick it up and look, the tubers at the bottom are oval, bunched together, and have matured.

He happily raised it for Gu Junruo to see, but his feet were unstable and he stepped into a puddle with one foot.

Gu Junruo also chose one, loosened the surrounding soil, and then pulled it up vigorously, seeing the tubers hanging down from the roots, she became happy, "You can use it, let's dig more." ”

This thing is much more difficult to dig than plantain, Li Shichang asked as he dug it, "Madam, what is the use of this wheat winter?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "Mai Dong can nourish the heart yin, clear the heart heat, can be used for heart yin deficiency and heat caused by the upset, with succulent ginseng, smallpox pollen, licorice, nepeta can cure the plague." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and laughed with everyone: "Let's dig some and go, let's go to Nanshan Pass to get nepeta first." ”

It is difficult to find, there is obviously no one in this mountain, and you can only wait for the medicine in the county seat, so Mai Dong is of little use at this time, you can write down the location first, and then come to get it if necessary.

The most important thing is to find Nepeta first, which is used in all prescriptions, so it is an indispensable medicine.

Nanshan Pass is not close to here, and the road in the mountains is difficult to walk, the more she goes inside, the more she can feel a depressing atmosphere, Li Shichang and Xiaobei are closely following her, looking around vigilantly.

On the way, Li Shichang also squatted down and touched a handful of feces left by an unknown animal, and after that, his face was not very good-looking, and his eyes looked around sharply.

She finally knew why Zhao Sanyuan knew that there was nepeta in Nanshan Pass, but he couldn't pick it back, because the road was too dangerous, and it was likely that he had encountered an accident before he even arrived at the place.

When they got to the back, the purpose of Zhao Zhuangxue to lead the way was no longer there, and it was up to Li Shichang to lead the way, he observed the footprints and feces left on the road, and led them around an area.

He whispered to Gu Junruo and explained, "There are traces of bears there. ”

Gu Junruo was a person who listened to persuasion, so she nodded and followed Li Shichang to change paths.

They made a long detour, and finally passed through dense thorns and vegetation before descending to the South Mountain Pass.

There was a large patch of nepeta here, and everyone looked at it in a daze, looking at Gu Junruo uncertainly, "Madam, is this it?" ”

Gu Junruo came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded and said, "It's this, cut with a sickle, cut as much as you can." ”
