The meal lasted for an hour, during which Uncle Ge and his wife were indispensable to preach in many ways, and after the meal, they tutored Ge Qing in his homework, and saw that the time was more than eight o'clock, and then he said goodbye and went home in the sound of Uncle Ge and Aunt Wang's stay.

"Fengzi, I'll go to you tomorrow morning, let's go to the mountain to get back the medicinal herbs we want to use. Ge Xiong admonished.

Duan Zifeng's home is still an old-fashioned adobe bungalow, the middle is a hall house, the back of the hall is a kitchen, there are two bedrooms on the left and back, there is also a bedroom in front of the right, there is a utility room behind the bedroom, and there are three pig houses built with wood on the right side of the house, but now it is empty, and since the death of my grandmother, I have never fed the pigs again.

In front of the house is a vegetable field, about two or three points in size, now Uncle Ge is helping to plant some vegetables, usually Zifeng comes back from vacation, he will also take care of it, the family has a total of more than two acres of paddy fields, and it is also contracted to the villagers, and you can get a few hundred catties of rice every year.

Taking advantage of the time to boil water, Duan Zifeng opened the big bag of things that Ge Xiong got back, and the things were not bad, because iron tools could not be used to refine medicines, so they were all utensils of other materials, two glass pots, seven or eight small porcelain bowls, more than ten glasses, a small electronic scale, a bamboo steamer, etc., Ge Xiong's kid was really very powerful! In addition to the necessities listed by Duan Zifeng, there were also several kinds of containers scattered around, even glass sticks for stirring.

After taking a bath and reading a book, Duan Zifeng lay on the bed, recalling the scene of entering the cave at that time.

That day and Ge Xiong were going to the mountains to move the firewood cut before, accidentally saw a place where the mountain collapsed to reveal a cave, the two were very curious, decided to go in to see, in the process of climbing up, Duan Zifeng's palm accidentally cut the stone, shed some blood, after entering the cave, but found that the whole cave is a circle, about a dozen square, the cave wall is very flat and smooth, but there is no trace of artificial excavation, there is nothing inside, and finally Duan Zifeng found a swarthy ring on the ground, so he picked it up, when the ring touched the blood on his hand, he vaguely felt a chill in his mind, and he didn't care at the timeWith the passage of time, there are more and more knowledge in this area, and it is more and more complete, and now I have mastered five or six kinds of prescriptions, and the effects of various prescriptions are varied, there are strong spirits, there are healing, there are pure bodies, and there are detoxifications, but although I know the function of these prescriptions, but the specific effect is not clear, and I can only wait until the real production can experience the specific effect。

Gradually, Duan Zifeng fell asleep, and there were still some plants in the dream that he had never seen before, methodical, unhurried, and seemed to have no end.

Early the next morning, Duan Zifeng just got up, was brushing his teeth at the door, and saw Ge Xiong in the distance hurriedly walking over here, Duan Zifeng couldn't help but smile, this guy, reading a book is eight cows can't pull forward, to do something else, that ironclad interest, a learn, a while to fine, last year someone in the village bought a motorcycle, people themselves also rode crookedly, he ran a few times, and then borrowed to try riding, actually rode extremely slippery, those twenty or thirty centimeters wide field roads dare to ride fast, make the owner frightened, and then dare not lend him to play。

"Fengzi, have you eaten breakfast?" shouted Ge Xiong as he ran.

Duan Zifeng asked strangely, "Did you eat it?"

"No, my mother hasn't gotten up yet, let's go, get two bowls of noodles and let's eat and go!" Ge Xiong pulled Duan Zifeng and walked towards the kitchen.

Duan Zifeng asked helplessly, "Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

"Of course, there is only one day off, didn't you say that a lot of medicinal herbs need to be processed?" said Ge Xiong as a matter of course.

The two hurriedly ordered two bowls of egg noodles, and under Ge Xiong's urging, they devoured them and walked to the back mountain with what they needed.

Ge Xiong was holding a hoe, Duan Zifeng was carrying a basket with a few glasses in it, and when he encountered the herbs he needed along the way, he asked this energetic guy to dig them down, and then told him the name of the medicine, the parts that needed to be used, and the method of treatment.

"It's called stick grass, why do you say it's called four-pedicle grass, and besides, isn't it used to feed pigs? I've never heard of it being a herb!" asked Ge Xiong.

"Don't ask me, I don't know, many of the things I'm looking for are not herbs, or ordinary grasses. Duan Zifeng replied.

"Fengzi, don't fool me, I've invested all my savings, don't lose all your money when the time comes!"

Duan Zifeng smiled, "I told you at the beginning, but I wasn't sure that you had to try." Over there, the one with small white flowers, we call it White-flowered Snake Tongue Grass, but in the prescription it is called Fine Moon Grass, go dig it!"

Along the way, he kept pointing to Ge Xiong, and when he came to a tree, Duan Zifeng used a firewood knife to cut off a piece of bark on the tree, and then cut a small sloping groove underneath, and fixed a glass he brought with a vine to the notch.

The place where the bark had been cut off slowly oozed some beige liquid, which slowly flowed down the groove into the cup.

This kind of sap, listening to the older generation, is used as a glue to paste couplets and other things, compared to rice paste, this kind of sap is more viscous, and does not tease mosquitoes, exudes a faint fragrance.

"It takes about two days to take the sap, and after it is done, it needs to be stirred with the same amount of boiling water, and then sealed for later use. ”

"No problem, I'll get it in two days!" Ge Xiong nodded.

It took the two of them a whole morning to dig up the seventeen kinds of herbs, and at noon the two of them cooked their own rice, fried two green vegetables to deal with the Chinese rice, and put the various materials collected in different categories, peeling those who needed to peel and those who needed rhizomes to get the rhizomes down, and they were busy for two hours, and finally finished the preliminary treatment.

There is a plant that needs to be brewed in the stream for three days, and the other is to wait for the collection of two kinds of sap, and when the two of them sat under the eaves to enjoy the coolness, they saw Ge Qing jumping over from a distance.

"My sister is here, hurry up and hide all these things!" Ge Xiong said quickly.

Looking at the piles of medicinal materials in the courtyard, Duan Zifeng said: "It's too late, don't hide it, this is not an unsightly thing, what are you afraid of?"

"No, these things are bought, she will definitely ask later, in case she runs to tell my mother, I can't explain clearly!" After speaking, he hurriedly beckoned Duan Zifeng to move those bottles and cans into the house.

"Brother Fengzi, what are you doing here, how do you bring so much grass back?" Ge Qing came to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the various medicinal materials in the courtyard, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is the herb we got back!" Duan Zifeng replied with a smile.

"Herbs? I don't think so! Isn't this grass for pigs?" said Ge Qing, pointing to one of the grasses.

"The grass that feeds the pigs can't be herbs, what do you know about this little girl?" Ge Xiong put on a big brother's face.

Ge glanced at him innocently, and said angrily: "Brother, you took all the money I saved, when will you pay it back?"

Ge Xiong suddenly froze.

"Xiaoqing, is there something wrong with you coming here?" Duan Zifeng asked with a smile.

Ge Qing found a stool and sat down on his own, and said, "It's okay, my dad just sent Teacher Hu to the hospital, and I ran out." ”

"What's wrong with Mr. Hu?" asked Duan Zifeng.

Mr. Hu is an old teacher in the village, and has been retired for four or five years now, Duan Zifeng and Ge Xiong were taught by him when they were children, it can be said that they are the enlightenment teachers of the two, they are kind and kind, knowledgeable, and deeply loved by their classmates.

Ge Qing said: "Uncle Hu took a ladder to the utility room in the attic to get something, and accidentally fell down, and his calf was cut by a nail, but my father said that he didn't fall to the bone, so it was not a big problem." ”

Duan Zifeng was relieved when he heard this, and asked, "Which hospital are you sent to?" ”

"I don't know! I'll ask when Dad comes back. ”

The three of them chatted all afternoon, and it was not until it was almost dark that the brother and sister went home.
