After cheering the sick farmer, I farmed with peace of mind

Chapter 4 Collecting herbs at the foot of the mountain

Bai Shuo is a master's student at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, majoring in Chinese Materia Medica, and has a deep research on Chinese herbal medicine. Zhuang Qingyun's injury is a trauma, and according to pharmacology, the right medicine can be prescribed.

However, although the internal organs were not injured, due to the lack of effective post-injury care, an infection developed and a fever began. If the appropriate medicine is not used promptly, his life may be lost.

So he had to go into the mountains to find the corresponding medicinal herbs. He used to do this kind of thing often and had experience, but now he was not familiar with the environment and didn't have the tools at hand. He decided to go to the neighbor's little tiger to take him to the foot of the mountain to have a look. Familiarize yourself with the route, and then find a way to enter the mountain.

If he could have a sum of money, he could send Zhuang Qingyun to the medical clinic in the town, and he wouldn't need to take such risks. You must know that the deep mountains are very dangerous.

But judging from the situation, it was hopeless, the old lady Zhuang was stingy and bad, and it was impossible to get money from her.

He does have some cooking skills, and he can make snacks to sell for money, but Zhuang Qingyun's injury can't be delayed at all. He can only try to pick some common herbs that are useful for the wound, first to reduce inflammation and bacteria, and prevent further infection. Think of a way later.

Bai Shuo found the neighbor's house mentioned by Zhuang Qingyun. In front of him was a row of earthen houses with thatched roofs, surrounded by a wooden fence to form a small yard. At a glance, he could see all kinds of vegetables growing in the yard. There is also a fruit tree, the breeze blows, and under the swaying leaves, densely packed small black and purple fruits are exposed. His eyes lit up and he found that it was a mulberry tree.

He licked his lips, a little hungry.

Looking at this thin body, he must have been short of clothes and food before, and he hadn't eaten anything good, and he hadn't eaten this kind of fruit for a long time before he came here, so he had to think of a way to pick some to eat.

Walking to the door of the neighbor's small courtyard, I heard the screams of children and the voice of a woman reprimanding from inside.

"Mother, mother, I don't dare anymore, stop beating, I didn't bully Yuanyuan, it was Zhuang Xiaohe, mother."

The door was not closed, so Bai Shuo approached and patted the wooden door, and saw a woman in her early thirties, holding a broom in one hand, and pulling an eight or nine-year-old boy with a thick head and a thick head in the other, grabbing his ears, and was about to lesson.

Seeing Bai Shuo knocking on the door, he hastily let go of the child in his hand. Regarding Bai Shuo's arrival, doubts flashed on his face, and he was a little confused for a while.

Because Bai Shuo was in a coma when he was sent to the banker's house. Except for the banker's family, no one in the village had seen him before. It's normal not to know each other.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Bai Lele, Zhuang Qingyun's...we got married yesterday." Bai Shuo was too embarrassed to speak.

"So it's Qingyun's husband, come in and sit down." Li Shi, the daughter-in-law of the neighbor Brother Wu, was stunned for a moment, and then enthusiastically invited Bai Shuo into the yard to sit down.

And the little boy who was beaten just now ran back and squatted next to Bai Shuo, and said in a low voice, "Are you Uncle Qingyun's bride? You look so pretty."

After finishing speaking, she handed the freshly picked mulberries to him, "Auntie, I am Xiaohu, and I will give you black fruits."

Bai Shuo... what the hell is Auntie? ?

Mrs. Li may have seen Bai Shuo's embarrassment, so he poked Xiaohu's head: "Stinky boy, what is your aunt, uncle."

"But she is Uncle Qingyun's daughter-in-law, so I should call her Auntie, ah, Uncle!" Seeing his mother picking up the broom again, Xiaohu quickly changed his words.

"Lele, I made you laugh, this child is too skinny for us." Li smiled and poured a bowl of water for Bai Shuo.

"Thank you sister-in-law, Xiaohu is very cute."

After taking a sip of water, Bai Shuo explained the reason for his visit. In fact, he was very nervous before he came. After all, he came back to someone else's house and didn't even have a gift, so he asked for help. But now he is poor and penniless, so he had to bite the bullet and come. Keep in mind that you must make up for it in the future.

"What's the matter? Call Xiaohu if you have anything to do. Qingyun is not in good health right now. Uncle Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang... well, anyway, if you need help with anything, just come to me and Brother Wu."

Thinking of what Zhuang's father and mother had done, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, but when she thought that Bai Lele had said that these things were not good when she just married, she changed the subject.

"You may not know that when you first came to this village, Qingyun saved my Duhu's life." Mrs. Li looked at Bai Shuo's puzzled eyes and continued.

"That was ten years ago, and Qingyun was only in his teens, and my Dahu had just been able to run for a while. I went to work in the fields with you, Brother Ang, and we didn't watch Dahu, so we fell into the river. If Qingyun hadn't seen it, Dumb would have died."

It turns out that there are still these origins, Bai Shuo did not expect that Zhuang Qingyun was still a young man full of justice at that time.

The host wasn't there, so Bai Shuo couldn't stay longer, so he found Xiaohu, and set off with the bamboo basket lent by Mrs. Li, saying that he could pick up some spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and it would be good to cook them with salt.

Bai Shuo didn't care too much about whether he could pick up spring bamboo shoots. He mainly wanted to see if the mountain was rich in wild medicinal materials. This was related to his own survival in the future. He also wanted to find some medicine for Zhuang Qingyun to heal wounds and eliminate inflammation.

Otherwise, I would not be able to go back now. In addition to being able to recognize medicine, he would have some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine theories while staying here, and he would not even be qualified to be a doctor.

It is best to find medicines such as Panax notoginseng and honeysuckle, which can be used to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation and antibacterial.

The houses of the Zhuang family and Wu's family were relatively outside, so they didn't need to go through the village when they reached the foot of the mountain. They didn't meet anyone along the way. Bai Shuo followed Xiaohu along the river and arrived at the place soon.

"Auntie, I usually come here to dig bamboo shoots. Uncle Qingyun even praised the bamboo shoots I dug are delicious." Xiaohu dragged Bai Shuo to the place where he usually came to, as if asking for credit.

"Xiaohu, call me brother, or call me uncle." Bai Shuo heard this goosebumps address again, and hurriedly stopped Xiaohu, and must get rid of his idea of ​​calling him aunt.

"Uncle. Let's dig the bamboo shoots quickly." Xiao Hu is not attached to calling out, but only wants to dig the bamboo shoots quickly, otherwise there will be no beautiful ones when there are too many people.

"Xiaohu, let's dig later. Tell brother first, is this the way to enter the mountain? Are there many people going from the village?"

He had to understand whether it was safe to enter the mountain. After all, in ancient times, there were no anesthesia guns, protective clothing, and other necessary tools. The more resources the mountain had, the more dangerous it was.

"My father often goes there. He is very good at hunting, and so is my brother, but they won't let me go, saying that there are tigers, bears, blind people, and many insects that bite people very painfully."

Xiaohu's tanned black and red face is full of admiration for his father and brother, but he also obediently remembers their instructions.

"Your father and elder brother are right. You can't just run into the mountains casually. Just show me around the places you can usually go."

Not to mention, during this turn, Bai Shuo really discovered a lot of good things, among which there are Sanqi and Angelica dahurica that he wants to use, Sanqi can be used to stop bleeding and nourish blood, Baizhi can relieve pain and relieve fever, However, honeysuckle and other antibacterial medicinal materials were not found. Now Zhuang Qingyun's wound is obviously infected, so these medicines must be found to prevent further infection.
