Chapter 27: Up the Mountain
There are many kinds of plants at the foot of the mountain. Su Qing touches all kinds of plants with all his heart. When he encounters it that he can use medicine, he needs to dig one.
Now that it is just early summer, many plants have bloomed and bear fruit. She has collected some seeds and plans to plant them in the yard. They are all plants that can be used as medicine, but they are not spiritual plants. There is no introduction to these plants in the textbook.
Until now, she has never seen a spiritual plant look like? There are many wild medicinal herbs, and the villagers all regard them as wild grass, and no one picks them.
Each plant made her fingers soft, as if some energy had entered her meridians, especially the tall trees were more obvious. When she got used to it, she felt warm and comfortable all over, which made Su Qing even more want to find a spiritual plant to try the effect.
"Meng, I want to see what the spiritual plant looks like and where it is?"
Meng Hun pointed to the mountain, "Of course it's in the mountain. If you walk a little longer, you may see a lot of silver-leaf clovers. They are the lowest-level spiritual plants. They are very common and not valuable. Adults rarely pick them. They are all girls in the village who pick a basket and go back to dry them. If they accumulate too much, they buy them at the town purchase station."
Su Qing couldn't wait to say, "Okay, let's go up the mountain and take a look."
She doesn't understand why she can absorb energy when she encounters plants? She really wants to try it out, what effect will happen when encountering spiritual plants?
In fact, there is no danger on the periphery of the mountain. Many children in their teens will go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt some small animals to add some input to their homes.
Sometimes, if you catch pheasants and hares, you can have a good meal. Although you will have diarrhea, the villagers will not die. Unlike people in the city, eating unprocessed food will be like poisoning and will be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Therefore, people in the city always ridiculed people in the mountains for their poor lives. If they were used to hard life, their resistance was strong, and they would not be able to die of poisonous animals and plants. Their lives were really hard.
Most children take them home and let their parents sell them to the town purchase station. Some older children will sell them to save some private money when they are in school.
The fat man also wanted to go with him. He was a girl who collected herbs, but he didn't want him. He was a boy who hated him for his low martial arts level and was unhappy in his running.
He always envies others for being able to go up the mountain. Now that he has grown up, there is definitely no problem going up the mountain. Besides, he is just wandering around and not daring to go away from the distance. Wang Kai and Zhao Ming in the village dare to go into a very far place.
He was the only child in the family. His parents often told him not to go to the mountains to play, because he was afraid that he would encounter danger. Their family did not lack the money he had to go up the mountains to earn, and his friends would not take him. Meng Qian had to go into the mountains a few times under the guidance of his father.
At this moment, seeing Qingqing want to find a real spiritual plant, the fat man looked like he sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, and patted his chest.
"Qingqing, let's go, my brother is holding you. In fact, there are many people on the mountain every day. All the children in our village are collecting herbs and catching pheasants and rabbits. In fact, they just gather together and play stupidly. They don't like to study. They are too boring. I am the best at studying in our village."
Su Qing looked at him in shock, with a critical hit in his heart of 100,000 points. At the level of a fat man, he was the best student in the village. It can be imagined that the learning level of others will definitely make the teacher cry often.
The two of them walked slowly up the mountain, and Su Qing still kept touching various plants.
There are more plants and more small mosquitoes in the mountains. Su Qing was bitten two big red envelopes in a short while.
Su Qing frowned, "Meng Yuan, how do people go into the mountains to prevent mosquito bites? Look at the many mosquitoes, I bite them."
"Ah, it seems like spraying an insect-proof potion. In summer, everyone sleeps in mosquito nets at home. When they go to the ground, they will be fully armed and wrap themselves up. Only when they go to the mountains will they use the potion. It is very expensive."
"Why don't you use mosquito coils?"
"What is mosquito coil? I haven't heard of it!" the little fat man asked curiously.
"It is to use spices made from various herbs to make them into one or plate shape, and the ignition after flavour can prevent mosquito bites."
"I have never seen the mosquito coil you mentioned. I only know insect-proof potions. A bottle of medicine costs a lot. My mother reluctantly uses it. She only sprayed it on my father when he went up the mountain. Anyway, insects can't bite people to death. My mother said that my father is so rough and thick-skinned that he is not afraid."
"How can that work? Some mosquitoes carry viruses and can make people sick."
"You're worried. I've never heard of someone who dies after being bitten by a mosquito."
The little fat man said sneeringly, what do children who have never been to school know?
Su Qing misses the sky again, it’s terrible to be uneducated.
There were a lot of plants in the mountains. Su Qing dug while walking, and soon the small basket was full again, so he stopped digging. The days were long and there were many days. Next time, Meng Hun also carried a bamboo basket up the mountain to help her prepare herbs.
As they walked, they heard the girls talking and chattering, and the girls also saw them.
Wu Lizhen stood up, stretched her waist, and saw the little fat man from the Meng family taking Qingqing up the mountain, and immediately waved his hand.
"Meng Yuan, why did you come up the mountain? Are your parents worried?"
"Of course I'm relieved. I'll go out to play with Qingqing. Qingqing, this is Sister Lizhen from Grandpa Wu's family. This year, she is in the fifth grade. Xiaolan, Xiaohong, and Manman are all from our village."
Qingqing called her sister well, and three or four girls in her teens surrounded her.
"Oh, this is Qingqing, your skin is so white."
"No, it seems that the doll in Star Vision is so cute."
If the girls hadn't had their hands dirty, they would have attacked Qingqing. Qingqing was so scared that she hid behind Meng Qian.
"Hey, don't scare Qingqing, she has never left the house and is very timid,"
Wu Lizhen smiled and said:
"I know, I have always heard that Aunt Mingjuan gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but she rarely saw her. She was a little excited when she saw her. Qingqing, don't be afraid. Come on, my sister invites you to eat wild strawberries."
Run to the place where the basket was placed, and took out a few red strawberries from a cloth bag for the fat man and Qingqing to give them a few.
The little fat man ate it in his mouth regardless of whether it was dirty or not.
Qingqing carefully put it in her backpack and said in a quiet voice: "Thank you sister."
"Oh, I'm getting goosebumps. Thank you. There are some wild strawberries in the mountains. Just look for them slowly, but you can't eat too much,"
"Sister Lizhen, have you dug up the spiritual plant? Qingqing is clamoring to see what the real spiritual plant looks like."
"Yes, yes, they are all in my basket, all of them are ordinary elixirs, and there is not a valuable plant. You can only get it if you go into the mountain with a hunting team.
Qingqing, come and see if there are blood coagulation grass, silver leaf clover and sky blue and white. Other spiritual plants are not yet mature yet, and the seedlings are still tender, so you can’t ask for them.”
Wu Lizhen took out several kinds of spiritual medicines, Qingqing approached them and wanted to take a closer look, so she took them in her hand.
Suddenly, a strong tremor came, which made her almost throw away the elixir in her hand. What was going on?
