Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 37 37: Treasure hunt in the mountains

Ni Yan was walking on the path up the mountain carrying a small bamboo basket.

I met many villagers on the road.

She will say hello politely.

When you meet older people, you call them uncle and aunt, and those who are slightly older are called grandparents.

Who doesn't like a little girl with a sweet mouth, especially since this little girl is so beautiful.

After Ni Yan left, people immediately started talking.

"Despite her young age, that little girl is very capable. I heard that she was the one who saved the Meifeng family's children when they were possessed by ghosts."

"What the hell is wrong with you? I heard it's epilepsy."

"If my Zhenzhen is half as sensible as she is, I will be satisfied."

A short-haired woman with a sharp face beside her interjected angrily: "Of course the little girl has the ability. If she doesn't have any ability, how can she ride a Phoenix bicycle?"

As soon as these words came out, other people's expressions immediately changed.

yes.

It is indeed very suspicious that this orphan and widower, with no labor force in the family, can actually afford a bicycle.

You know, these people who work as farmers all year round cannot afford a bicycle!

A middle-aged woman with long hair frowned slightly and said: "You can't say that. Maybe it's the money earned by others. I heard that the little girl gets up early every morning and goes to the market to sell breakfast."

"Selling breakfast?" The short-haired woman pointedly asked: "Who knows if they are selling breakfast or something else."

The short-haired woman is a famous long-tongued woman in the village, named Wang Jinfang, who typically looks down on others.

To wish others to be poor means to wish others to be poorer than oneself.

Once you see that others are better than yourself, your heart will immediately explode. I wish I could immediately make sarcasm and curse others for paralysis.

The long-haired woman was different from Wang Jinfang. She was a reasonable person and immediately retorted: "Da Long Ma, you are in front of a big guy, so you have to pay attention to evidence when speaking."

Ni Yan is still young. If his reputation is ruined by Wang Jinfang, how will he be able to see people in the village in the future?

Wang Jinfang looked at the long-haired woman and retorted harshly: "So, you saw her selling breakfast in the city with your own eyes? Or did you join forces with her to sell breakfast?" The last sentence was very meaningful.

"You!" The long-haired woman flushed with anger and coughed, "You are talking nonsense! You are so messed up!"

"Am I being reckless? I think it's Zhou Qingxiang who feels guilty, right?" Wang Jinfang's eyes widened, looking fierce.

Qingxiang didn’t know Ni Yan this week either. She must have seen someone buying a bicycle and wanted to curry favor with her, so she spoke for her! Otherwise, would she be so kind?

hypocritical! shameless!

"Ahem, I feel guilty? Wang Jinfang! Could you please tell me why I feel guilty?"

Seeing that the quarrel was about to escalate, someone stood up immediately to stop it, "Okay, okay, everyone, please stop saying a word, it's not worth it for a foreigner."

Zhou Qingxiang is an educated person, and she had a cold today. Her throat was uncomfortable and she kept coughing. She didn't want to say anything more to Wang Jinfang at the moment, so she picked up the hoe and walked into the fields.

What kind of reasoning do you expect to be able to explain to such a person?

**

In the mountains.

Ni Yan was walking among the rocks with a bamboo basket on her back. Along the way, she discovered many wild medicinal materials.

For example, Chuanqiong, Angelica sinensis, White Poria, Atractylodes, Rehmannia glutinosa, Astragalus, Bupleurum, etc.

At this time, Western medicine was on the rise, and Chinese medicine had gradually been forgotten, so the materials on the mountain were relatively abundant.

Ni Yan even discovered a wild ginseng, and it was an old ginseng with seven leaves.

It's been a hundred years at least.

Ginseng is known as the king of herbs. It can soothe the spirit, calm the soul, stop panic, eliminate evil spirits, improve eyesight, make people happy and improve the mind. It is especially suitable for postpartum women with qi deficiency.

Ni Yan was ecstatic, picked up the shovel, and carefully dug out the roots of the ginseng, for fear of breaking a beard.

After a while, a whole ginseng was dug out.

Although it is wild, this ginseng is in very good quality and very thick. You can't buy it for hundreds of dollars in a pharmacy.

Ni Yan put the ginseng in the bamboo basket and continued walking in the mountains and forests.

Since there is ginseng on this mountain, there must be more than one.

Sure enough, after a while, Ni Yan found a second ginseng nearby, but this time it was not a seven-leaf ginseng, but a small ginseng that was three to five years old.

Although it is not old ginseng, its effects are better than those sold in pharmacies.

After digging out the second ginseng, Ni Yan never found the third one.

Ginseng was hard to come by, so Ni Yan did not insist on looking for ginseng. Instead, he continued to dig up some other herbs, during which he also found an aloe vera bush.

Aloe vera is a good thing. Not only can it beautify the skin, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine that can purge fire, detoxify, remove blood stasis, and kill insects. The main symptoms include red eyes; constipation; white turbidity; hematuria; infantile epilepsy; malnutrition; burns; hemorrhoids; scabies; carbuncle, furuncle, swollen poison; bruises, etc.

Ni Yan picked up the shovel, dug out a few aloe vera plants and put them in a basket, planning to plant them in the field in front of her home.

After doing this, Ni Yan started walking down the mountain with the bamboo basket on his back.

The lush vegetation and gentle mountain breeze make you feel refreshed and peaceful.

Ni Yan was humming a little tune happily as he walked.

At this moment, Ni Yan's ears moved slightly, and he immediately stopped and looked into the grass on the side.

There was a grinding sound similar to "gurgling" coming from there.

There's something in the grass.

Realizing this problem, Ni Yan walked to the grass and reached out to push it away.

I saw seven or eight little gray rabbits crouching in the grass.

The little rabbit was about the size of a palm. He looked at Ni Yan and hissed a warning sound.

Such a cute little rabbit will definitely be cuter when he grows up, and the rabbit meat will be delicious too!

Ni Yan seemed to see roasted rabbit, roasted rabbit, braised rabbit, spicy rabbit and other delicacies, waving to him.

Ni Yan counted and found that there were nine little rabbits in total. She took eight out and put them in the basket behind her, leaving one for the mother rabbit.

Today's harvest was good. Ni Yan looked at the trophies in the bamboo basket with a smile of satisfaction on his lips.

The sun was gradually setting in the west. Ni Yan picked up the bamboo basket and walked quickly home.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with long hair walked towards her, coughing violently as she walked.

The person who came was none other than Zhou Qingxiang, who spoke for Ni Yan in the afternoon.

Although he didn't know what happened in the afternoon, Ni Yan still stepped forward to say hello very politely, "Hello, Aunt Wang."

Zhou Qingxiang smiled and said, "It's Yanyan. Did you just come down from the mountain?" After saying this, Zhou Qingxiang coughed violently, making her eyes red.

People with colds will have more severe coughs in the morning and evening.

Ni Yan nodded, "I dug some herbs in the mountain. Does Aunt Wang have a cold? Have you been to the hospital?"

Zhou Qingxiang said nonchalantly: "A little cold is fine, it will be fine in a few days." People in the village are like this. Because they care about money, they endure major and minor illnesses by themselves, and will only go there unless they have to. In the hospital, many people even had minor illnesses that turned into serious illnesses and eventually lost their lives.

"Colds are not a small problem. If the cold virus invades the human blood, complications such as pneumonia and hypoxia will occur." Ni Yan said as he took out several plants with leaves shaped like bamboo leaves from his backpack and handed them to Zhou Qingxiang.

Then he said: "Aunt Wang, this is a traditional Chinese medicine called Bupleurum. When you go back, remove the branches and leaves, clean the roots, boil water and drink it. Your cold will be cured within three days."

It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Bupleurum is bitter in taste and sweet in nature. It is a medicine that relieves fever, soothes the liver, and promotes yang. It has miraculous effects on colds.

In fact, drinking it for one day can cure a cold. Three days is just a conservative number.
