Chapter 35 Digging for Herbs

"Let's compete! See who can catch more?" Tiezhu said.

Shuan Zhu nodded, "Okay! Let's begin!"

After giving the order, all the children concentrated on finding the grasshoppers.

Unknowingly, Qi Kexin walked to the straw pile where the three sisters of the Li family were hiding.

Seeing Xiao Kexin approaching, Hehua called softly, "Little sister!"

Qi Ke was startled.

He looked up and met Hehua's smiling eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "It turns out to be Sister Hehua!"

Spring flowers and autumn flowers also came to Qi Kexin.

"Sister! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Sister! I miss you so much."

"Sister Chunhua! Sister Qiuhua!" Qi Kexin greeted Chunhua Qiuhua with a smile, "Why are you here?"

In fact, she knew very well why they came here.

"Today, Sunday, a few of us went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and we ended up here unknowingly," Hehua said.

"Yes! Yes! Thank you for coming here, otherwise how could I see my sister?" Chunhua Qiuhua held one of Qi Kexin's hands.

Qi Ke smiled and nodded, thinking: The earth is bare, where can the wild vegetables come from? Sister, you should be more reliable in your lies!

"Little sister Kexin, are the boys catching grasshoppers with you your brothers?" Hehua asked.

"Yes. I have five brothers, and they call themselves the Five Tiger Generals. Haha!"

When mentioning her brother, Xiao Ke’s eyes are filled with smiles.

"Do you have a sister?" Hehua asked.

"No!"

"Let's be your sister! We all like you very much!" Hehua glanced at the spring flowers and autumn flowers and said hurriedly.

"Yes! Yes! We all like you very much, please be our sister!" Chunhua Qiuhua's eyes were full of love.

Qi Kexin nodded and said with a smile: "I have five brothers and three sisters. That is so happy!"

"Fubao! Fubao!"

Shuan Zhu's voice came over, he was calling Qi Kexin, his voice was anxious.

Immediately afterwards, four iron pillars, copper pillars and five pillars called her, "Fubao! Where are you? Fubao... where are you..."

"Brother is looking for me, I'm leaving! Goodbye, sister!" Qi Kexin ran away after saying that.

He really wants to thank his eldest brother Shuan Zhu!

It's time to shout! If she continues to stay, she really doesn't know if her sisters will say anything embarrassing to her.

For example: "You are actually my biological sister!"

"You were adopted by the Qi family. Your surname is Li and your real name is Li Cuihua."

"Come home with us now! Dad is waiting for you at home!"

If this is the case, she really doesn't know how to respond to them. It's not that she doesn't want to recognize her relatives, but she can't do it now.

Now that they admit it, Qi’s father and Qi’s mother will be very sad.

She didn't want to make them sad. The Qi family's parents saved her and were so kind to her. She must not ignore their feelings when doing things.

…

It's cold as hell. The north wind blew all night last night. When we woke up in the morning, the temperature dropped sharply. Some people were already wearing cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.

Qi Futian feels that the temperature changes according to this rhythm. If it is not used for half a month, the ground will freeze. When it freezes, those rhizomes and herbs cannot be collected.

"Damn it! I'm going up the mountain to see if I can pick platycodon." He put on his hiking boots and carried a basket on his back.

Platycodon is a rhizome of traditional Chinese medicine. It has the functions of relieving coughs and phlegm, relieving the lungs, and draining pus. It is a commonly used medicine in traditional Chinese medicine and is harvested all year round. Platycodon is used as both medicine and food. It can also be shredded and pickled into pickles and mixed with chili noodles.

,very delicious!

In good years, when the vegetation is luxuriant, there are a lot of platycodon on the mountain, but now that there is a famine, everyone is digging for it, so it is probably difficult to find them.

Even if it's hard to find, you have to look for it, because there is really no other way to make money. In the past, there were a lot of chickens, and you could get two coins by selling eggs. When the vegetation was lush, you could get two coins by picking wild fruits. Now there is nothing.

If you don't try to dig up medicinal materials, you won't be able to get through life.

"Dad, it's too cold today and the wind will be even stronger on the mountain. Let's go there in two days!" Ms. Cui felt sorry for her husband and couldn't bear to ask him to go.

"It will get colder in two days. It's okay, I'll wear more clothes. Find my big cotton-padded jacket."

"Okay." Mrs. Cui rummaged through the box and found the large cotton-padded jacket that her husband had worn for several winters.

This cotton-padded jacket is the same as the quilt. The cotton inside is also rolled and wrapped, but Cui smoothed it out when she took it apart, washed and sewed it again.

"Dad! I'll go with you!" Xiao Kexin walked out and looked up at her father.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed. It was because of her outfit.

The little guy put on his brother's cotton jacket and trousers, his brother's cotton hat and gloves, and his cotton shoes.

In her hand, she also held a small drill, ready to be used for digging medicinal materials.

She dug out these clothes herself, some with iron pillars, some with copper pillars, and the cotton shoes on her feet belong to my brother's five-pillars. The clothes don't go with me, but the shoes go with my feet. When I take a few steps, I feel like a man.

child.

After laughing, Qi Futian asked Cui to carry Fu Bao back to the house.

It's such a cold day and it's mountaineering, so he won't let Fu Bao suffer. He can't take care of it. If Fu Bao falls, it will be terrible.

"Dad! You don't keep your word. You promised Fu Bao last time, and Fu Bao has been looking forward to this day! Fu Bao won't cause trouble for Dad. Fu Bao can only help Dad find medicinal materials."

Fu Bao is reasoning with his father.

She refused to go back to the house and insisted on going to the mountains with her father to dig herbs.

Shuan Zhu and Tiezhu have gone to school and Tongzhu is at home.

He then begged his sister, "Mom and Dad! Fu Bao is so willing to go. You have promised her before and she is ready for everything. Just ask her to go! I am responsible for taking care of Fu Bao. Dad can just dig herbs, okay?"

?”

Considering that there was a bronze pillar to look after Fu Bao, the parents of the Qi family nodded.

The weather today was worse than expected. The wind on the mountain was so strong that it could blow people away.

I stumbled every step I took.

Qi Futian was too worried about Fubao, fearing that a gust of wind would blow Fubao into the mountain col.

"No! Let's go home! Come again when the weather is nice."

He backed down!

Fubao’s safety is the most important!

Seeing that her father was resolute, Qi Kexin tried to ask for help from the system.

[Little host! Why do you go up the mountain in such weather? 】

"Sister Maple Leaf! The weather is getting cold, and the quilts at home need to be replaced with cotton ones. But there is no money at home, so my father has to go to the mountains to dig up herbs and sell them for money."

[Your space is just a field of medicinal herbs, why should you sacrifice the near and seek the far away? 】

"Sister Maple Leaf! In fact, dad can't dig up the herbs. People have dug up all the herbs on the mountain! Dad and I went up the mountain just to help dad..."

[I understand! You have thought it through carefully. So, how long will you stay on the mountain? 】

"Two hours!"

【Okay! The wind will drop temporarily!】

"Thank you Sister Maple Leaf!"

Qi Kexin never thought that such a help-seeking system could respond.

I can’t help but admire the power of the system.

It's so powerful that it can control the wind and rain!

Thank you for the almighty system! It’s great to have a system!”
