Ji Qinglan took his son to the mountain to pick some fruits today. Many fruits in the mountain are ripe.

The ripe fruits along the road had already been picked. In this season, the wild walnuts, peaches, plums, pears and other fruits in the mountains had ripened one after another and had already been picked clean by the diligent villagers.

Those who are slow will definitely not get anything to eat.

The reason for picking wild fruits is simple and crude: they are edible!

Give them to children as snacks, and adults can occasionally change their taste. Even if some of them are unpalatable, bitter, astringent, sour..., so what, they are still edible. With these wild fruits as a treat, you can cook one less bowl of coarse grain rice.

If Ji Qinglan and the others wanted to pick fruit, they had to go further into the mountains, but the mother and son were used to it.

Ji Xincheng had short calves and could not walk after a while, so Ji Qinglan carried him up the mountain. Xincheng grew up on his mother's back since he was a child and was carried up the mountain every day. His favorite place to go was the mountains.

The mother and son found a wild loquat tree. She put her son down and coaxed him, "Don't run around. Mom will pick some loquats for me, okay?"

Ji Xincheng nodded obediently. Ji Qinglan glanced at him, then climbed up the tree by grasping the trunk, as nimble as a monkey.

Ji Xincheng would not wait there, seeing a bunch of cockleburs nearby, he pulled Xiao Hei over, picked the cockleburs one by one and put them on his head, but found that this did not work. Then he stuck the cockleburs on Xiao Hei's body, arranging them neatly one by one. Loquats from the tree next to him fell down, and Ji Xincheng was so engrossed in the fun that he had forgotten his mother's instructions.

By the time Ji Qinglan jumped down from the tree, Xiao Hei's body was covered with cockleburs, as if he was wearing a layer of green and yellow armor. He squatted there motionless, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was a hedgehog.

Ji Qinglan was speechless. Ji Xincheng was still being naughty. It was only Xiao Hei who had a good temper and was reluctant to let him go, otherwise Ji Xincheng would have been forced to eat a claw from him.

Ji Qinglan silently picked up the loquats on the ground, and when they were all picked up, she took the man and the cat to find another loquat tree. Now she had half a basket full, and she planned to ask Grandpa Li to help her make some Sichuan loquat paste to give to people.

Chuanbei loquat paste can clear away heat, promote lung function, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. It is suitable for cough with yellow phlegm/uncomfortable phlegm, sore throat, chest tightness and pain, colds, bronchitis, etc. caused by wind-heat invading the lungs and internal obstruction of phlegm and heat.

She learned a lot of pharmacology from Grandpa Li. In this mountain, there are treasures everywhere, and she also dug a lot of medicinal herbs for Grandpa Li.

Leading her son and continuing to walk, planning to get some more things before going back, Xiao Hei stood up, bent his body and shook it twice, and most of the cockleburs stuck on his fur were shaken off. Ji Xinchen, who was being pulled by his mother, was completely unaware of it and walked with a few cockleburs on his head.

Old Master Li was running breathlessly with a medicine basket on his back, and behind him a fat wild boar was rushing towards him.

It's a threat to his life. How can a frail old man like him outrun a wild boar?

Alas! Alas! Alas.

Seeing Ji Qinglan and the child coming over, Mr. Li got anxious, his voice chopped up, and he waved his hands and shouted, "Ji girl, run, there's a wild boar."

Seeing Ji Qinglan with the child, he gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the wild boar, holding the medicine hoe high in his hand.

Although he was an old man, he at least bought time for Ji Qinglan and her son to escape.

The expected pain did not come. A figure flashed before my eyes and leapt high up and kicked the wild boar. The wild boar staggered while running, and its big black head tilted violently. Its four legs remained motionless, and an even more angry scream came from its mouth.

Mr. Li's eyes widened and his mouth opened before his brain could react.

"Ah~~"

In Ji Qinglan's eyes, the axe in Ji Qinglan's hand had been stabbed into the wild boar's neck, three inches deep into the bone. She drew her axe and chopped again, blood spurting three feet high. The wild boar wailed incessantly, and used its four hooves to hit and bite. Ji Qinglan moved flexibly, and even Mr. Li was dumbfounded.

He didn't react until the wild boar fell to the ground.

Ji Qinglan's face was smeared with blood, but he calmly pulled out the axe. This axe had been used to chop people, kill wild boars, and fight bears. It was invincible.

The skill of chopping wood with a knife is perfect.

Ji Qinglan helped Mr. Li up, but her body was covered in blood and her face was bright red. She did not look very good. She looked like the god of death herself, which was shocking.

"Mr. Li, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Mr. Li, who had just recovered from the shock, had his heart pounding. When he stood up, his ankle felt a piercing pain and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't care about himself, looking at Ji Qinglan's appearance, he asked worriedly: "Ji girl, there is so much blood on your body, where are you hurt?"

"No, it's all wild boar blood. You sit down first." Ji Qinglan helped the man sit on a big rock.

"Why did you come to the deep mountains? It's dangerous inside. You can't come here."

This time, Ji Qinglan caught him in the act. Mr. Li couldn't be proud at all. He dodged and explained awkwardly: "I'm here to pick herbs."

Ji Qinglan sent him medicinal herbs every now and then. He was itching to come, thinking that Ji Qinglan would be fine in the mountains, so he might as well come too.

You know, he usually only dared to pick herbs near the cowshed.

As a result, he encountered a wild boar this time. Only then did he realize that Ji Qinglan had real skills by going up the mountain every day.

Others went up the mountain with hatchets and encountered wild boars to eat their food, but he was the one who was eaten by the wild boar.

However, there are really a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains.

Ji Qinglan didn't know that Mr. Li went up the mountain to collect herbs because of her. Seeing that his ankle was swollen, she helped him sit on a rock nearby.

He took out a pot of water from his backpack and handed it over. "Mr. Li, drink some water first. You sprained your ankle. Let's rest here for a while."

"Well, thank you." Mr. Li took the water and felt very relieved. Girl Ji was very nice.

Ji Xincheng came over and called out sweetly.

"Grandpa Li."

After shouting, he went to the dead wild boar, picked up a dry ginkgo leaf and dipped it in the blood stains on the ground.

When the ginkgo biloba fruits turned red, he spread them on the ground; soon, his surroundings were covered with bright red leaves.

Old Master Li looked at him, unable to say a word. Ji Xincheng was such a young child, yet he was not afraid at all, and did not cry or make a fuss.

Then he remembered what he had forgotten. When he saw Ji Qinglan coming up with the child, he was extremely anxious. If they encountered any wild animals with a child, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

"Ji girl, why did you bring the child up the mountain? It's so dangerous. If you don't have anyone to help you with your child, send him to Xiao Han. We old men will take care of him for you."

"It's okay. I only brought him up here because he's nearby to give him courage." Ji Qinglan smiled and chopped with an axe, cutting off several tree trunks as thick as his arms and pulling out some vines that were wrapped around the trees.

After pulling hard, I found that these vines were surprisingly solid, so I started weaving with them.

She wanted to make a raft and drag Mr. Li and the wild boar back.
