Back in the yard, Zheng Qiang and Zheng Min looked embarrassed, which made the old man burst into laughter.
Zheng Qiang said depressedly: "Dad, why are you laughing!"
Mr. Zheng chuckled and said: "You are much cuter like this than before! There is nothing wrong with experiencing this kind of life!"
Liu Limin was preparing to boil medicine for Mr. Zheng. Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang also followed him to the kitchen. After all, this was medicine for their father, and they also had to care about it.
Seeing Liu Limin grabbing several kinds of medicinal materials, and finally even taking out a reddish-brown thing and breaking off a small piece of something that looked like wood but not wood, Zheng Min asked curiously: "Dr. Liu, this
It looks like Ganoderma lucidum, is it real Ganoderma lucidum?"
Liu Limin nodded and said: "Of course it is true, and it is the rarest blood Ganoderma!"
Zheng Qiang said in surprise: "You actually have such precious medicinal materials? Where did it come from? I heard that this stuff is very valuable!"
Liu Limin smiled and said: "I found this on the mountain myself. These medicinal materials, including these, are all dug from the mountain. It's not surprising!"
When Zheng Qiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Really? There are still these things in this place?"
Zheng Min also looked at Liu Limin curiously.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "What's so strange about this? It's just that you don't understand. There are many medicinal materials on Qingyun Mountain in our Dingxin Commune. It is simply a treasure house of Chinese medicinal materials. There are also various wild animals, such as pheasants and wild animals."
There are so many rabbits and so on!”
Zheng Qiang said happily: "Really? Brother Liu, can you take us up the mountain to hunt? I'm interested in this. If I encounter some thousand-year-old ginseng, I'll give it to you!"
Liu Limin smiled and said, "You really want to go? That's okay, we'll go in the afternoon, and we'll just come back with some game for the tooth festival!"
Zheng Min was also moved by such an interesting thing, and hurriedly said: "I want to see it too, okay?"
Liu Limin nodded and said: "No problem, but you all have to listen to me and don't run around, because there are many venomous snakes on this mountain, especially this summer, so it is impossible to guard against it. If you are bitten by a venomous snake,
That’s life-threatening!”
Hearing what Liu Limin said, Zheng Min was startled. She couldn't help but patted her chest and said, "Oh my god, is it true? That's okay, I'll follow you and I won't move!"
Mr. Zheng did not object to Zheng Qiang and Zheng Min following Liu Limin up the mountain to hunt, so that they could gain more knowledge.
Liu Lixin also followed, plus Zhang Xiuying and driver Xiao Song, making a total of six people.
Zhang Xiuying smiled and said to Zheng Min: "Sister Zheng, there are a lot of mushrooms on this mountain. The two of us will pick mushrooms then, and leave the hunting to their gay men!"
Zheng Min smiled and said: "Okay, if there is such a good thing, I must pick more mushrooms and go back!"
Liu Limin prepared three large back-guns, and also took a medicine hoe and a homemade shotgun. It was definitely very useful to use this tool to hunt hares and pheasants.
Zheng Min and Zheng Qiang, two siblings, were still very energetic. Following Liu Limin and the others, they did not fall behind. They reached Qingyun Mountain in one breath and reached the first hilltop.
Once inside the mountain, there is actually no road. It is summer, the plants are growing very lush, and there are many leaves on the ground.
Liu Limin took the lead and used sticks and picks to clear the way. The most important thing here was to prevent poisonous snakes from jumping out and biting people.
So I don’t go very fast and I have to search carefully.
Some poisonous snakes slipped away after being beaten by Liu Limin.
Several snakes scared away along the way. Zhang Xiuying and Zheng Min who were behind them were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe when they saw those colorful snakes.
Liu Lixin said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, my eldest brother is here. He is an expert at catching snakes. There will definitely be dragon and phoenix soup to drink tonight!"
Zheng Min asked in surprise: "What is Dragon Phoenix Soup?"
Liu Lixin said with a smile: "It's made with pheasants and snakes. It's delicious!"
These snakes that frightened away were all relatively small venomous snakes with no heads. You have to catch the cauliflower snake to get heads.
Soon Zhang Xiuying and Zheng Min had something to gain. They found several enoki mushrooms, which they carefully picked and put into their back baskets.
Liu Limin also found many rare wild medicinal materials. Drivers Xiao Song and Zheng Qiang helped dig them up. They were very interested in these things and found them very interesting.
Liu Limin dug while searching for traces of wild animals.
In Qingyun Mountain, there are still a lot of hares and pheasants. Sometimes they often come down the mountain to eat the farmers in the fields. You can usually find traces of many pheasants and hares in the farmers' fields.
Liu Limin especially cherishes the hunting opportunities now, because in another twenty or thirty years, these wild animals will have become protected animals and cannot be hunted.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many villagers bought gunpowder shotguns to go hunting in the mountains. However, Liu Limin no longer has such an idea. Just use shotguns, and he doesn’t really want to hunt.
Come and sell.
Liu Limin was looking for pheasants and rabbits when he suddenly heard Zheng Min excitedly say: "Hey, there are eggs here, come and see!"
Zheng Min found a pheasant's nest in the grass under a tree. There were five eggs in it. These eggs were different from the eggs at home. They were much smaller and gray-brown in color.
Hearing Zheng Min's shout, everyone came together, and it turned out to be a nest of wild eggs.
Liu Limin smiled and said: "Yes, yes, these pheasant eggs are very nutritious. Take them back and cook them to eat! There must be pheasants around here. Please walk softly and don't talk."
Zheng Min nodded and carefully packed the wild eggs.
Liu Limin took out his shotgun, picked up the pebbles, and began to search carefully.
We didn't go far, and we actually found pheasants, not just one, but several.
Liu Limin turned around and said softly to everyone: "Don't talk!"
As he spoke, Liu Limin picked up his slingshot and pointed it at a pheasant in the bushes more than ten meters away.
After taking aim, Liu Limin decisively shot the stone bullet, and there was a pop sound. The stone accurately hit the pheasant's head. The pheasant fluttered twice, but could not fly.
Liu Limin quickly stepped forward and caught the dizzy pheasant. It was delicious alive, but it would have been killed with a shotgun.
Liu Limin estimated that the pheasant weighed a pound, and a few more would be enough to eat.
The other pheasants were all scared away. Zheng Qiang said curiously: "This thing can also hunt pheasants. Brother Liu, your skills are quite impressive!"
Xiao Song also smiled and said: "Doctor Liu, you are amazing!"
Liu Limin chuckled and said: "This is a skill I have practiced since I was a child. Not to mention hunting pheasants, I have even shot turtle doves flying in the sky."
Then everyone continued to move forward and gained a lot along the way. Soon Liu Limin shot five pheasants and a very fat hare!
