Chapter 9: Collecting Herbs

PS: During the new book period, I really need your support, don't support it, collect it, vote for a free recommendation, so that the new book can have a better result, I can't imagine that it will be on the Xianxia classification list, and the two more will be sent, and I want to go further.

The sun was slanting in the west, and the cold sunlight was shining in the leaky house, without a little warmth.

Wang Ziteng lay back and forth on the bed for a while, and then sat up again.

"We have to think of a way, how can we get out of the days like this?"

"If you offend that eagle and want to go up the mountain to collect medicine, you have to be careful and careful, otherwise, if you are caught by the eagle, you can't say, your life will be gone." ”

In the house, walking around, the prince couldn't think of anything good for a while, seeing that the New Year was approaching, the family didn't have a penny, not to mention the matter of studying, even this year couldn't be passed.

"What's the matter?" Wang Ziteng's heart was a little irritable, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Hiss!

The little green snake crossed Wang Ziteng's shoulder and stuck out his tongue.

"Do you have a way?"

Looking at the strange little green snake on his shoulder, Wang Ziteng had a glimmer of hope for it.

The little green snake nodded, swam down from Wang Ziteng's body, landed on the ground, swam away as fast as possible, and soon after, came back with a He Shou Wu.

"He Shou Wu?"

Wang Ziteng's eyes lit up, the root of this He Shou Wu is the size of an adult's fist, and it looks like a haode goods.

"He Shou Wu can detoxify, defecate the intestines, and can also replenish lean blood, black hair, strengthen muscles and bones, and nourish liver and kidneys. ”

In the past, Wang Ziteng often sold the collected herbs to Tong Ren Tang, and such good medicinal materials could be bought for at least three to five taels of silver, and if there was a patient who was in urgent need, it was not known whether it was ten taels or twenty taels.

"Haha, good baby, if you can pick a few more of these He Shou Wu and slowly accumulate them, not to mention going to school, it is not difficult to make a fortune. ”

Wang Ziteng tidied up He Shou Wu, put it at the head of the bed, looked at the little green snake with burning eyes, bent down, held the little green snake in the palm of his hand, pointed to He Shou Wu on the head of the bed, and said with a smile:

"Little green snake, where did you pick this thing, is it okay for you to take me to pick it, if you let me pick this thing, I will definitely prepare a fat and tender little mouse for you to eat." ”

Snakes eat mice, this is nature, fat and tender mice, should be the favorite of the little green snake.

Hiss!

The little green snake shook his head gently, meaning that He Shou Wu was gone.

And when Wang Ziteng mentioned the mouse, he shook his head vigorously and violently, and his eyes revealed the meaning of killing and not eating mice.

"Are you a snake, a little bit of a snake's consciousness, a snake doesn't eat mice, what do you eat, you still eat delicacies from the mountains and seas?"

Wang Ziteng looked at the little green snake in his hand in wonder, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the snake on this shijie is different from the snake on my shijie, and the snake on this shijie doesn't eat mice?"

"It doesn't matter what it eats, let's see if we can coax out some precious herbs. ”

Seeing that the little snake fiercely opposed eating the little mouse, Wang Ziteng did not force it, and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, if you don't eat, you won't eat, you look at my family, there is nothing poor, even if there are mice, it is estimated that they will be hungry to move a long time ago, don't talk about this, if such He Shou Wu is gone, are there any other herbs?"

Hiss!

The little green snake nodded!

Wang Ziteng was overjoyed: "Really, then you hurry up and pick a little more and come back, let's take the herbs we picked tomorrow and go to Tongrentang to dispose of them, and then go to the market to buy some New Year's goods for the New Year, and the rest of the money will be kept for going to Hongyi School to study after the New Year." ”

The little green snake swung his body and was about to leave, when Wang Ziteng shouted: "Slow, let's go together, and come back with more picks." ”

Carrying the medicine basket and taking the stick, Wang Ziteng followed the little green snake towards the vast mountains, the little snake swam very fast, and soon arrived at a place.

This place is very interesting, high and low in the surrounding area, a typical basin, in the basin, the temperature is very suitable for the growth of herbs, Wang Ziteng sees, there are a lot of herbs here.

Luo Han Guo, Radix Root, Andrographis, Ginseng!

A large piece of herbs!

"I can't imagine that there is such a haode place in the mountains. ”

Wang Ziteng was overjoyed: "I've been collecting medicine in the mountains for so long, and I don't know here, little green snake, you are really my lucky star, with so many medicines, I don't have to worry about my tuition anymore." ”

Picked a few ginseng and andrographis, Wang Ziteng did not pick again, these medicinal materials, when fresh, the medicinal effect is the best, the value is the greatest, if it is put for a period of time, the medicinal effect is distributed, it is worthless.

Wang Ziteng is ready to sell the things in his hand, and he is slowly taking out this piece of herbs, otherwise if he takes out so many herbs at once, one herb will be worthless, and the other is easy to attract the attention of people with a heart, in case it causes any trouble, it will not be good.

In winter, most of the herbs have withered, but here, it is a green patch, which is simply a miracle.

However, Wang Ziteng is not surprised, nature is magical, any miracle can happen, and it is not a new thing to grow herbs in winter, in the previous shijie, many places are planted greenhouses, even in winter, all kinds of green things are commonplace.

"Let's go!"

After collecting the medicine, Wang Ziteng's face was flushed, he was in a good mood, humming a small tune, and walked happily towards home with the little green snake.

When I got home, it was already dusk, a crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, sprinkling a piece of silver light, Wang Han had just come back, with a gloomy face, not saying a word, sitting there, clay sculpture in general, not moving, as if he had lost three souls and seven spirits.

For a whole day, Wang Han didn't eat anything, and walked several villages, and every time he was about to write Spring Festival couplets for the villagers, several Hao slaves of the Wei family would come out to obstruct it.

After several obstructions, Wang Han did not sell a pair of Spring Festival couplets, and did not earn a penny, seeing that the sky was already dusk, Wang Han was afraid that Wang Ziteng would be afraid at home alone, so he hurried back.

"Daddy!"

Looking at Wang Han, who was in a bad mood, the prince relaxed his steps and walked over.

"What's going on?"

Wang Ziteng saw that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Wang Han's bookcase were almost useless, and he immediately knew that his father had not sold a pair of Spring Festival couplets outside.

"Shouldn't it be like this?"

Wang Ziteng frowned, if he can be admitted to Xiucai, he naturally has a good handwriting, can write a good word, and has many couplets in his chest, under normal circumstances, he will not fail to sell one.

Among them, there must be some reasons that I don't know.

"Alas!"

Wang Han sighed, he didn't want Wang Ziteng to know these things in the hot and cold world, and changed his words: "It's okay, it's my father who is not good, I didn't sell a couplet today, but you can rest assured, tomorrow my father will go out to find other jobs, and he will definitely be able to make money, and if you have money, you will be allowed to go to school, and when you get to the school, you must study well and fight for our Wang family, don't be like your father for a lifetime, and be looked down upon." ”

Seeing that his father was reluctant to mention it, Wang Ziteng didn't want to ask again, so as not to hurt his father's self-esteem, but he secretly paid attention to it in his heart.

Put down the medicine basket behind him, and said: "Daddy, today I went to the mountains to collect medicine, you see I picked so many medicines, tomorrow I will sell it to Tongrentang, I will definitely be able to buy a lot of money, with this money, it should be enough for me to go to Hongyi School to study." ”

"Herbs?"

Wang Han hurriedly said: "Why are you going to collect medicine again, your body is not good yet, you don't have to rest at home, what medicine to pick, you don't have to go to collect medicine in the future, Daddy will have a way to support this family, your business is to read the books of your father at home every day, and strive to enter the Hongyi School, you know, if you want to enter the Hongyi School to study, in addition to needing ten taels of silver, you must also have a little bit to learn, otherwise the school will not accept the silver." ”
