Chapter 11 Boiling Medicine
"yes, got it!" Sister Yuan nodded obediently, and then jumped up and down like a little white rabbit to follow Gu Jiujiu's side and continue to look for herbs.
Gu Jiujiu looked at the basket in his hand, and had already picked three herbs. Gan's illness required five herbs, and two herbs remained unfound.
After thinking about it, the remaining two herbs prefer heat to moisture and often grow in drier places. In moist places, such herbs are rarely seen.
Even if there are these two herbs occasionally, they certainly don't grow very well. If such an herb is boiled, the effect is bound to be bad.
deliberately took Brother Yan and Sister Yuan to choose a drier place to walk, avoiding the small river and wetter places.
About half an hour later, Gu Jiujiu was pleasantly surprised to find the two herbs he needed in the same place.
Excitedly, he picked the herbs and put them in the vegetable basket. Then, Gu Jiujiu took Brother Yan and Sister Yuan to prepare to go back together.
"Sister, will my mother really be good after eating these herbs?" Sister Yuan bit her little white fingers, tilted her little head and looked at Gu Jiujiu with some uncertainty and asked.
"Hmm!" Gu Jiujiu nodded and touched the little guy's cute bun head, "Don't worry!" My mother will definitely be fine after eating this herb. ”
"Then let's go back quickly, boil the medicine, and bring it to my mother!" In order to make her mother get better quickly, Sister Yuan couldn't wait to boil all these herbs into a decoction.
Knowing the little guy's thoughts, Gu Jiujiu looked at her and smiled, "Okay, just listen to you, we'll go back now." ”
After saying that, they couldn't help but speed up the pace of their feet.
Soon, several people returned to the dilapidated home.
"Sister, I'll see my mother!" After going back, Sister Yuan thought about Yan's sleeping in the room, and after saying something to Gu Jiujiu, she ran towards Yan's room with her little short legs.
She has been out with her sister for so long, and she doesn't know what happened to her mother? While thinking, Sister Yuan pushed open the dilapidated small wooden door.
Seeing Sister Yuan go to Yan's room, Gu Jiujiu pursed her lips and went to the stove room with the vegetable basket.
Brother Yan looked at Sister Yuan'er's disappearing back, and then looked at his sister again. After hesitating, he finally followed his sister to the stove room.
Walking into the stove room, Gu Jiujiu was going to wash the herbs first.
I took a clean wooden basin and scooped water into it. Then, Gu Jiujiu poured the herbs in the vegetable basket into it.
"Sister, I'll help you!" Brother Yan squatted down in front of Gu Jiujiu, put his little hand into the wooden basin and took the medicinal herbs and washed them in style.
"Hmm!" Seeing Brother Yan'er's serious face, Gu Jiujiu got up and stood up, and smiled, "Brother Yan'er, you wash the herbs well, and my sister goes to make a fire!" ”
"Good!" Brother Yan listened to Gu Jiujiu's words and agreed very happily.
Brother Yan knew that this herb was to make a decoction for Yan's, and he was very serious when he washed it, not only carefully washing the dirty things on the herbs, but also picking out all the yellowed leaves on the herbs one by one and putting them aside.
Walking to the stove, there had been a fire a few times before, so it was quite easy for Gu Jiujiu to make a fire now.
I put the dried branches and leaves in the stove, and then took out the fire fold and lit it and put it on the dry branches and leaves.
In a few moments, the fire was lit. In order not to extinguish it, Gu Jiujiu habitually added some thicker branches to it.
"Sister, I've already washed the herbs!" Brother Yan walked to Gu Jiujiu's side and looked at Gu Jiujiu with a serious face.
