One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 9 Digging Wild Vegetables

The Jiang family's ancestral house is at the west end of the village, and there is a small road going north when you leave the door, and you can go directly up the mountain from there.

Hongxue carried the only basket in the house, took the only sickle in the house, spoke to Mrs. Zhou, and went out.

"Hongxue, where are you going?" After walking a few steps, footsteps came from behind, and a crisp voice came over.

"Juqing!" Hongxue stopped, waiting for Sun Juqing to catch up, "I'll go to the mountain to see if there are any wild vegetables to eat. The food at home won't last for a few days..."

"I'll ask my brother to send some more to your house later..."

"No need." Hongxue shook her head, "Your mother gave me some food just now, so I can't give you any more... Your family is not rich..."

Ju Qing pursed her lips and said nothing. Indeed, their family didn't have much food left. They had just plowed in spring, and there was still some time before the harvest, so they couldn't help but sigh.

"The so-called emergency is not helping the poor." Hongxue smiled, "Since my mother is willing to divide the family for us, we have to find a way to live on." After a pause, "there are many things on the mountain. As long as you work hard, I believe you won’t starve to death.”

"Yeah." Sun Juqing grinned suddenly, "My mother and I also went to dig some shepherd's purse yesterday, and it's not bad to eat with stick noodles..."

Hongxue nodded with a smile, everyone is not rich, and the farming is still busy right now, and after a few days of free time, the wild vegetables on the mountain may not be seen.

The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, they had reached the foot of the mountain.

"I'm going to go up and have a look..." Ning Yan pointed to the mountain, turned her head and asked Sun Juqing, "What about you?"

Sun Juqing raised the sickle in her hand and the basket behind her back to her, and said with a smile, "I'm also preparing to go up the mountain, just right, let's be companions."

"Have you finished all your family's farm work?" Hongxue looked at her in surprise. It's spring plowing now, and all the villagers are busy in the fields. Even the little ones are assigned to cook, deliver water, etc. None are easy.

"My brother and my mother are doing it. They have brought enough water. They don't need my help. There is Ju Hong watching at home. I am idle and I am idle. Why not come out and dig some wild vegetables." Sun Juqing grinned: "Let's go." , I know where the wild vegetables are the most, I will take you there."

After speaking, she led the way in front of Hongxue, poking the weeds on the road with the scythe in her hand. Hongxue knew that she was doing this to prevent snakes. It was spring, and these hibernating animals began to look for food everywhere.

It had just rained two days ago, and many places on the road were muddy, but in such a climate, it is easy to grow fungi.

In my memory, the villagers all know how to dig wild vegetables to eat, but they don't know how to eat mushrooms and fungus, because they have eaten people to death, so until now, no one has eaten those things.

Hongxue breathes the air free from modern pollution, enjoys the beautiful scenery, looks at the village below the mountain, everything is so beautiful, she believes that she will have a good life in this beautiful environment.

It's just that when Sun Juqing saw that a large field of wild vegetables was trampled by wild animals, her expression became not so good, "What...what's going on? It was fine that day..." The little girl was at a loss.

Instead, it was Hongxue who patted her on the shoulder in relief and said, "Don't worry, this mountain is so big, there can't be only a few wild vegetables, the ones here have been destroyed, if we look for others, we will definitely find them. "

"But there are the most wild vegetables here." Sun Juqing still said with a mournful face: "Now there are so many wild animals in the forest, no one dares to go deep. This area has the most in the vicinity."

So, Hongxue and Sun Juqing agreed to search separately, otherwise, they might not be able to find any good things in an afternoon.

Sun Juqing looked around cautiously, and felt that there should be no danger here during the day, so she told Hongxue: "Okay, I'll follow what you said, but don't go inside."

Seeing that Hongxue had listened to her own words, she walked aside.

Seeing Sun Juqing leave, Hongxue turned around and walked towards the other side. In fact, she was not particularly keen on wild vegetables, but mainly wanted to see if there were any herbs and mushrooms. These things were much more valuable and delicious than wild vegetables.

Hongxue walked into the woods and saw a lot of mushrooms. She quickly took out her bag and picked up a bag until it was full. Hongxue was still a little bit unsatisfied.But it doesn't matter, no one picks this thing anyway, so you can pick it if you have time.

The more she walked in, the more good things she found, especially herbs. In the future, she could often come to collect herbs and sell them, so that the family could buy land and improve their lives.

Of course, Hongxue also dug up a lot of wild vegetables along the way. Seeing that it was still early, she flashed into the space with a thought.

The space was still the same as when she first saw it. There was nothing, only a small piece of land and a pool, but she noticed a little change in the pool. It was originally round, but now it has a small section, like Like dragging a small tail.

Hongxue took a sip of water and drank it, only to feel that the fatigue on her body just now was swept away, and the mushroom bag didn't feel very heavy anymore.

It turns out that this water can relieve fatigue, but what's the matter with this land? It's bare, so it's a bit difficult to find seeds to plant by yourself. Now it's hard for the family to eat enough, and the two vegetable fields next to the house are completely barren. I can't plant anything...

wait!Since this water has miraculous properties, I don't know if it can be used to change the soil quality and turn the wasteland into a good land. In this way, at least the family will have food for the time being.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to go back and try.

Flashed out of space and looked in the direction where Sun Juqing was walking.

Seeing Sun Juqing squatting on the ground digging wild vegetables from a distance, Hongxue wanted to call her.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was stuck in her throat, and the sickle in her hand came out and hit a branch above Sun Juqing.

"Ho!" Sun Juqing was startled when she heard the sound, turned around and saw Hongxue standing behind her, couldn't help but flushed with anger, and asked angrily, "Jiang Hongxue, what are you doing?"

Hong Xue ignored her and walked straight to the direction where her scythe fell, Ju Qing also followed her to have a look, her face turned pale from being frightened, "This..."

"Just now I saw this thing swimming above your head, I didn't have time to tell you, it scared you." Hongxue calmly picked up the sickle, swung it, and the writhing snake on it stopped moving.

"It, is it dead?"

"Not dead, but it's about the same." Hongxue comforted, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"Well, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now!" Sun Juqing apologized softly.

"It's okay, that's your normal reaction. Anyone who finds out that someone is throwing a sickle at them will not have a good face." She squatted down, tied the snake with a dislocated joint with a grass rope, and was about to take it back to her. The family improved their meals.
