Chapter 165 165. Picked up a person

The barefoot doctor said happily: "It's true that when I'm at home, I like pickles and steamed buns."

Shen Suhong's clear voice came over: "Ruoxi, your steamed buns are baked, come over and eat them."

Shen Ruoxi walked over, took the stick in Shen Suhong's hand, sat down and ate slowly: "It's really delicious. The baked buns are even more delicious than the pastries."

Shen Yan also ate the grilled steamed buns. She originally thought that Shen Ruoxi was exaggerating, but after eating, she discovered that the grilled steamed buns were crispy and crispy, with a tangy aroma, which was a rare delicacy.

Shen Suhong was also captured in one bite: "Ruoxi, it's so delicious. It's perfect with a bite of pickles."

Shen Ruoxi walked over and poured three bowls of water to dry: "You can eat it next time you come out."

Shen Suhong nodded: "Yeah, yeah."

While eating, the barefoot doctor suddenly walked towards the opposite side. When he got closer, he was surprised and said: "It's actually a Gastrodia elata tree."

"Is there any Gastrodia elata?" Shen Yan ran over.

Brown-yellow poles emerged from the grass, swaying in the wind. There were not just one, but three.

Shen Ruoxi came over out of curiosity, dug up the grass and took a look: "It's really Gastrodia elata."

Shen Suhong ran over with a hoe: "I'll dig it."

Shen Ruoxi took the small hoe in her hand, and then put the remaining half of the steamed bun into Shen Suhong's hand: "Stand aside, I will dig it."

Shen Suhong was particularly supportive of Shen Ruoxi's words and quickly backed away: "You go ahead and dig it, I'll watch you dig it, and we'll eat together later."

Shen Ruoxi used a small hoe to remove the surrounding grass, and then carefully dug from the surrounding area along the roots of Gastrodia elata.

Shen Suhong looked at it without blinking: "Seeing that the rod of Gastrodia elata is quite thick, it should be quite big."

Shen Yan ate the steamed buns and watched Shen Ruoxi digging: "I think it's quite big. I hope it's bigger so I can sell it for some money."

These words made Shen Ruoxi's heart skip a beat: "Sell it to me and I'll give you a fair price. Or Shen Yan can collect herbs in the future and sell them to me to subsidize your family. How about that?"

Shen Yan agreed without thinking: "Okay, but can you charge me as much as I dig?"

Shen Ruoxi thought about it: "You can't do this with fresh medicinal materials, but you can promise it with other medicinal materials."

Shen Yan said excitedly: "Okay, then the matter is settled."

The barefoot doctor also wants to make some money. His grandson is getting married and the money has not been settled yet: "Ruoxi, wouldn't this be good?"

Shen Ruoxi didn't mind at all. Anyway, she was buying other people's things, and Shen Yan was also buying them. When doing business with the villagers, there was still a bit of favor: "There's nothing wrong with it. We make money based on our ability. It's fair and square, uncle." There is no need to worry about anything, just like what Shen Yan said, it is settled."

The barefoot doctor thought for a while before slowly nodding: "Thank you very much for this."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "We are mutually beneficial."

The barefoot doctor smiled and nodded: "We will dig out more medicinal materials and process them first before selling them to you, saving you some trouble."

"Okay, it's convenient for others. It's convenient for yourself." Shen Ruoxi dug up a Gastrodia elata tree, which was as big as the palm of her hand. It looked very gratifying, and she went to dig up a second one.

Shen Suhong came over and took Gastrodia elata in her hand, and said in surprise: "This is too big. It must have been growing for several years, right?"

The barefoot doctor said: "This mountain is usually used by villagers to collect firewood, and there is nothing else. I rarely come here to collect medicines. I thought there were none, but I didn't expect so many medicinal materials."

Shen Yan said: "Grandpa, we can collect herbs now and sell them. We will come back in two days."

The barefoot doctor nodded: "Okay."

Shen Ruoxi dug up three Gastrodia elata trees, and found a total of six Gastrodia elata trees. One tree had three buds, all of which were quite large.

"The protection is not small." Shen Suhong said happily.

Shen Ruoxi put the gastrodia elata into the basket on her back and said to Shen Yan: "We will divide it up when we go back. I won't take advantage of you."

Shen Yan said openly: "I believe you."

Shen Ruoxi smiled back: "Let's continue having lunch. I'll dig some herbs later. It's all here."

The four of them had eaten and drank warm water, and their stomachs were full.

Shen Ruoxi poured the remaining boiling water, extinguished the fire in the rocks, and splashed it with water to make sure there were no sparks, and then the group set off again.

"Is this motherwort?" Shen Yan asked, pointing to the purple medicinal materials nearby.

Doctor Barefoot intends to teach Shen Yan about herbal medicine, so that selling herbal medicine can become a means of survival in the future: "This is motherwort..."

Motherwort has no stem in the seedling stage, and its basal leaves are round and heart-shaped, with shallow lobes, and each lobe has blunt teeth.

In the early flowering stage, the stems are square-cylindrical, with many branches in the upper part, and are concave on all sides to form longitudinal grooves. The surface is green, the texture is fresh and tender, and the middle part of the cross section has a pith.

The leaves are alternately opposite, stalked, green, fresh and tender, juicy when rubbed, with a slight smell in the lower part and a slightly bitter taste.

Motherwort is a commonly used medicine in gynecology, promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, diuresis and reducing swelling.

"Supplementary Materials of Materia Medica": Pound the seedlings and apply them to those with severe swelling and pain of mastitis; pound the seedlings and twist the juice to take it, which is mainly for edema and drainage, and also for vicious swelling.

"Zi Mu Mi Lu": To treat postpartum blood circulation and heart qi deficiency: grind motherwort, grind it, squeeze the juice, and take one cup.

The medicine Shen Ruoxi prescribed for them to treat the girl's stomachache included motherwort. This herb could help a lot to solve the girl's problem.

Shen Yan tried hard to remember what her grandfather told her: "Grandpa, I understand."

Shen Ruoxi and Shen Suhong listened to the barefoot doctor's words, but it did not affect their picking of herbs. By the time he finished, they had almost finished picking.

They did not pluck all the herbs, but left some young seedlings that could grow up later.

Carrying backpacks on their backs, a few people walked into the mountains.

There are often people coming and going in this mountain, and there are no large beasts. Don't be afraid, otherwise the barefoot doctor will not agree to come.

Walking inside, Shen Ruoxi saw a cliff. The cliff was so high that you had to raise your head high to see it.

Under the cliff is a small river.

There is a thick layer of duckweed growing on the surface of the river, which is green, and there are clumps of green grass beside the river, which is extremely lush.

The barefoot doctor reminded: "Don't go too far. I don't know how long the river has been here, and I don't know how deep it is. The mud on the riverside is very soft and it is easy to fall into the river."

After listening to his words, the three little girls walked as far away from the river as possible.

Shen Yan looked forward, suddenly stopped, pointed forward and said, "There seems to be someone by the river ahead."

The barefoot doctor stretched his neck and looked: "It's indeed a man. Come on, go and have a look."

The group of people walked forward quickly.

There was a man lying by the river. He looked like a young man, with handsome features. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a young master from a wealthy family. His clothes were covered with duckweed, and his hair was wet, as if he had crawled to the riverside from the river.

Shen Ruoxi knelt down to check. Her pulse was weak, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. She pressed her chest and found that five ribs were broken: "She is still breathing, but she suffered serious internal injuries."
