37: Treasure hunting in the mountains
Ni Yan walked on the path up the mountain with a small bamboo basket on her back.
I met many villagers on the way.
She would greet him politely.
I met an older person who called uncle and aunt, and a slightly older person who called grandparents.
Who doesn’t like a sweet-mouthed little girl, especially this little girl is so pretty?
After Ni Yan left, people immediately started to talk.
"Don't look at the little girl who is young and has great ability. I heard that the Meifeng family's child was saved by her when she was on the verge of her body."
"What the hell is it? I heard it's epilepsy."
"If Zhenzhen is half as sensible as her, I will be satisfied."
A short-haired woman with a sarcastic face on the side interrupted in a sarcastic manner: "Of course the little girl has the ability. If she doesn't have some skills, can she ride a Phoenix bicycle?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people's expressions changed immediately.
yes.
This orphan and widowed mother, who doesn't even have a labor force at home, can afford a bicycle, which is really suspicious.
You know, those who work hard for many years can’t afford a bicycle!
A middle-aged woman with long hair frowned slightly and said, "You can't say that. Maybe it's the money they earn. I heard that the little girl gets up early every morning and goes to the market to sell breakfast."
"Sell breakfast?" the short-haired woman said with some slightest meaning: "Who knows whether to sell breakfast or what?"
The short-haired woman is a famous long-tongued woman in the village, named Wang Jinfang, and is a typical expectant person to be poor.
Looking for people to be poor and looking for literature to be meaningful is to hope that others are poorer than themselves.
Once you see others being better than yourself, your heart will be immediately exploded. I wish I could sarcastically and curse others as hell.
The woman with long hair is different from Wang Jinfang. She is a reasonable person and immediately retorted: "Mom, Big Dragon, in front of everyone, you have to pay attention to evidence when speaking."
Ni Yan is still young. If his reputation is so corrupted by Wang Jinfang, how can he look up in the village in the future?
Wang Jinfang looked at the long-haired woman and counterattacked harshly: "So, have you seen her selling breakfast in the city with your own eyes? Or have you sold breakfast with her?" The last sentence was very meaningful.
"You!" the long-haired woman was so angry that her face turned red, and she coughed, "You are talking nonsense! You are just messing around!"
"I'm just messing around? I think it's Zhou Qingxiang, you're guilty?" Wang Jinfang's eyes widened, looking fierce.
Zhou Qingxiang didn't know Ni Yan this time. She must have seen someone buy a bicycle and wanted to curry favor with her, so she spoke for her! Otherwise, would she be so kind?
Hypocrisy! Shameless!
"Ahem, I feel guilty? Wang Jinfang! Why do you want to be guilty?"
As the quarrel was about to escalate, someone immediately stood up to stop him, "Okay, okay, everyone will say less, it's not worth it for a foreigner."
Zhou Qingxiang is a student, and she has a cold today, she has a discomfort and is coughing all the time. She is not willing to say more to Wang Jinfang now, and she carries a hoe and walks into the ground.
What reason do you expect to tell her this kind of person?
**
In the mountains.
Ni Yan was walking among the rocks with bamboo baskets on her back. Along the way, she found a lot of wild medicinal herbs.
For example, Chuanqiong, Angelica sinensis, white poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Rehmannia glutinosa, Astragalus, Bupleurum, etc.
At this time, Western medicine was getting up, and traditional Chinese medicine was gradually forgotten, so the materials on the mountain were relatively abundant.
Ni Yan even found a wild ginseng plant, and it was also a seven-leaf old ginseng.
It's been at least a hundred years.
Ginseng is known as the king of all herbs. It can calm the spirit, calm the soul, stop stagnation, eliminate evil spirits, improve eyesight, and be happy to improve intelligence. It is especially suitable for postpartum women with postpartum qi deficiency.
Ni Yan was ecstatic, picked up the shovel and carefully dug the root of the ginseng, for fear of breaking one of the whiskers.
After a moment, a complete ginseng was dug out.
Although it is wild, this ginseng has a very good quality and is very thick. In a pharmacy, it is impossible to buy it without a few hundred yuan.
Ni Yan put the ginseng in a bamboo basket and continued walking among the mountains and forests.
Since there are people ginseng on this mountain, there is more than one.
Sure enough, after a while, Ni Yan found a second ginseng nearby, but this time it was not a seven-leaf, but a small ginseng that had been around for three to five years.
Although it is not an old ginseng, its effects are better than those sold in pharmacies.
After digging the second ginseng, Ni Yan never found the third one.
Ginseng is hard to come by, and Ni Yan did not insist on finding ginseng, but continued to dig some other herbs, and during this period, he also found an aloe vera bush.
Aloe vera is a good thing. It not only can beautify and nourish the skin, but also a Chinese medicine that can relieve fire, detoxify, remove blood stasis, kill insects. It is red in the eyes; constipation; white turbidity; hematuria; children with epilepsy; malnutrition; burns and scalds; hemorrhoids; scabies; carbuncles and boils; swelling and swelling; bruises and damage.
Ni Yan picked up the shovel, dug a few aloe plants and put them in the basket, intending to go home and plant them in the ground in front of the door.
After doing this, Ni Yan carried a bamboo basket and began to walk down the mountain.
The lush grass and trees are lush and the mountain breeze makes people feel refreshed and peaceful.
Ni Yan hummed a little song happily while walking.
At this moment, Ni Yan's ears moved slightly, and immediately stopped and looked into a grass next to him.
There was a sound of grinding teeth similar to "cuckoo".
There is something in the grass.
Realizing this problem, Ni Yan raised her foot and walked to the grass, stretched out her hand and pushed away the grass.
I saw seven or eight gray rabbits curled up in the grass.
The little rabbit was about the size of a palm. He looked at Ni Yan and made a hissing warning sound.
Such a cute little rabbit will definitely be even cuter when you grow up, and the rabbit meat will definitely be delicious!
Ni Yan seemed to see roasted rabbits, roasted rabbits, braised rabbits, spicy rabbits and other delicacies, and was waving to him.
Ni Yan counted and found that there were nine little rabbits in total. She carried eight of them out and put them in the basket behind her, leaving one for the rabbit mother.
Today, Ni Yan looked at the spoils in the bamboo basket and raised a satisfactory curve on the corner of her mouth.
The sun was gradually sinking, and Ni Yan carried a bamboo basket and walked quickly to home.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with long hair came towards her. She was coughing violently while walking.
It was not someone else who came, but Zhou Qingxiang who spoke to Ni Yan in the afternoon.
Although I didn't know what happened in the afternoon, Ni Yan still came forward very politely to say hello, "Hello Aunt Wang."
Zhou Qingxiang smiled and said, "It's Yanyan, are you just coming down from the mountain?" After saying that, Zhou Qingxiang coughed violently, her eyes turned red.
People with colds have more severe coughs in the morning and evening.
Ni Yan nodded, "I dug some herbs on the mountain. Did Aunt Wang catch a cold? Have you ever gone to the hospital for a visit?"
Zhou Qingxiang said indifferently: "It's okay to have a small cold, it will be cured in a few days." The villagers are like this. Because they feel sorry for money, they endure serious illnesses and minor illnesses by themselves. They will go to the hospital unless they have to. Many people even have minor illnesses that have become serious illnesses and eventually lose their lives.
"Caring a cold is not a small problem. If the cold virus invades the human blood, it will cause complications such as pneumonia and hypoxia." Ni Yan said as she took out a few plants with bamboo leaves from her backpack and handed them to Zhou Qingxiang.
Then he said, "Aunt Wang, this is a Chinese medicine called Chaihu. After you go back, you remove the branches and leaves, clean the rhizomes, and then boil water to drink. Within three days, your cold will be cured."
It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Bupleurum has a bitter taste and a sweet nature. It is a medicine that can evade and relieve fever, relieve liver and increase yang, and has miraculous effects on colds.
In fact, drinking one day can cure a cold, and three days are just conservative numbers.
