Chapter 36: A New Life (16)

The further he walked up the mountain, Ru Yi deviated from the path that the original climbers had stepped on, and instead walked towards the inaccessible deep mountains and dense forests. She thought that the less sparsely populated the place, the more herbs would be cherished, and in that case, she would definitely be able to buy them at a good price.

After another two quarters of an hour, a gust of wind blew and rustled the dense branches.

Ru Yi thought to herself that her luck was not bad, because she found a toon tree not far away. It is important to know that this toon is rich in nutritional value and has a therapeutic effect, which can cure diseases such as external cold, rheumatism, stomach pain, and dysentery.

The toon tree is estimated to have grown for many years, and the trunk is thick and very tall, so you have to climb the tree to pick the toon buds. So, without hesitation, she rolled up her sleeves and trousers, grabbed the bottom branch, and prepared to start climbing the tree.

Yuan Shu grabbed her shoulder and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Ru Yi replied: "Didn't we come to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, you can eat this!" So I'm going to take it off. ”

Yuan Shuxiu frowned and said, "Can you eat such a stinky thing?" ”

Ru Yi turned his hair, and now there is a leaf on the side of this toon tree, which is similar in shape to the toon tree, but the young shoots it emits are green, and if you smell it closely, you will find that the smell is very stinky and pungent. The buds of the real toon are a little reddish-brown and have a very unique fragrance, which is not pungent or smelly.

Speaking of this toon, she remembered that when she was a child, there was one at the door of her grandfather's house, and every time spring came, the toon tree sprouted, she would ask her grandfather to pick toon scrambled eggs to eat, and now when she thought of the taste of toon scrambled eggs, her saliva was going to flow out.

Ru Yi smiled, "It doesn't stink, it's delicious." With that, she continued to climb the toon tree.

She learned this tree climbing skill when she was a child and climbed trees with the boys in the village, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Yuan Liang saw Ruyi climbing a tree, and jumped and jumped happily below, "Oh, the little daughter-in-law is so good, she can climb trees!" ”

Yuan Shu was stunned, thinking that she would not climb such a high tree when she grew up in the village, but she didn't expect that a seemingly delicate young lady would actually climb a tree, judging from her proficiency, she must have climbed many times.

After a while, Ruyi climbed to the top of the tree branch and carefully plucked all the shoots that had just been sent out for a few days. Because of the remote location, or no one in the village knew that this thing could be eaten, there were many toon buds on the tree, and when they were picked, they filled the small half-back basket. She was happy because the toons were enough for their family to eat for a few days.

After getting off the tree, Ruyi planned to leave here and continue walking. But after walking a few steps, she remembered how nice it would be if she planted a toon tree in the yard, she could pick it every spring, and enjoy the shade in the summer. So, she ran under the toon tree again, dug up a few small toon trees, and put them in Ruyi's back basket.

Although Yuan Shu was a little puzzled and puzzled, she didn't ask, but followed Ruyi forward.

Ru Yi took the two of them and continued to walk towards the mountain, walked for about two quarters of an hour, and found a total of three flavors of medicinal herbs such as Sichuan Qiong, White Peony, and Qin Pi in a hidden place.

She took out the small hoe she brought from the back basket and carefully dug out the Chuanqiong, white peony, and Qin skin. There are not many medicinal herbs here, only a few plants, and they don't know which part of this plant is used as medicinal herbs and which part is useless, so they didn't ask Yuan Shu to help collect it.
