Chapter 60: Cutting the Snake Bed

At the foot of the Dabie Mountains, looking far ahead, there is an open sloping land. This is where the mountain forest meets the plain. The soil is relatively thin. Crops cannot be grown, and there are wild shrubs and various low trees.

The donkey cart stopped, and Liang Deshui led the donkey aside without tying it up, letting it graze in the wild. The donkey was an old donkey that had been raised at home, and it had just grown up. It must be pregnant with a lamb, and its temper had become very docile. The old donkey knew the way, so it would not get lost.

"Sister, what are we cutting in this wild field?"

Xiao Geng was holding a sickle, looking at a loss.

“Look, this is how the flowers bloom.”

On the hillside and in the bushes, small white flowers are blooming everywhere. Clusters of them, with fine leaves. Qiqi had come here to see them the day before yesterday. This place is more than ten miles away from Liangzhuang, about one mile north of Yanjia Village. It is a wild land. There are the most Cnidium monnieri here.

She went to the market yesterday to ask, Chinese herbal medicine is very cheap. The rare ones are only one cent per pound, and the ordinary ones are one cent per seven or eight pounds.

There is no other way, we can only rely on large quantities. Even though it is so cheap, the health center of Yanjia Village Commune will not accept it and will send it to the county to sell.

The only herbs that can be harvested in large quantities this season are Cnidium monnieri and Achyranthes bidentata.

"Isn't this a wild carrot? Can this thing be sold for money?"

He plucked one of the cool plants and took a closer look, then looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Dad, you only know that the villagers call it wild carrot, but you don't know that its scientific name is Cnidium monnieri, and in medicine it is also called Cunjincao. It is warm in nature and bitter in taste. It is specially used to treat dryness and heat, dispel wind, kill insects, warm the kidneys and strengthen yang. It can be used in many places."

Qiqi took the snake bed from her father and put it on the cart.

"Dad, don't underestimate it. Its entire body is a treasure. Its branches, leaves, and seeds can all be used as medicine."

"Hurry up and harvest a load of fresh ones and take them to the county town. If they can be sold at a good price, we don't need to bring them home and turn them over to dry."

"Can this thing be sold for money?"

Liang Deshui still couldn't believe it, but his daughter spoke so seriously, and what she said was the same thing that Qiqi's mother had often said before, words that he couldn't understand.

The older my daughter gets, the more she looks like her mother.

Liang Deshui thought of his deceased ex-wife Xia Minrou, and felt sad. He lowered his head and cut off the parts with more snake beds.

It doesn’t matter whether it can be sold or not, as long as my daughter is happy.

"Sister, you know so much."

Xiao Geng picked up the sickle, raised his big round face, and looked at Qiqi with admiration.

"Cut the little stalk well. When I make money, I will send the little stalk to school."

"Ah."

Xiao Geng responded, lowered his head and cut the ground happily.

Although the tuition fee is only a few yuan, rural people only send boys to school.

They think that it is useless for girls to go to school. When they grow up, they will go to their wives’ homes and just need to know how to work and have children. What’s the point of learning those characters? They are not useful for food or drink.

There are five children in the Liang family. Liangshan was clumsy since childhood and was not accepted by the school. His mother taught him at home. Xia Minrou was a college student who graduated from the Medical College of Beijing University. Although Liangshan was a little clumsy, he learned a little.

Qiqi is a girl whose mother died when she was born.

She shouldn't be able to go to school. But the two elders of the Xia family always remembered this incident. Although they were struggling to make ends meet, they still squeezed out the tuition fees from their teeth and sent Qiqi to school.

Qiqi was smart and had excellent grades. She was the best student in the school until she was admitted to the Medical School.
