Chapter 219 219 Only by walking can you gain something
The fire got bigger and bigger, and the temperature in the refining room gradually rose, making me sweat while standing inside.
Yao Hu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "It's too hot here. Go back and rest for a while. My father is ready and will take it back to show you."
Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I understand. Autumn is relatively dry, so remember to drink more water in the refining room."
"Okay!" Yaohu responded loudly, picked up the hammer and started banging it.
Yao Xiaoqing came out of the refining room. Seeing that it was still early, he thought about going to the mountains to find some medicinal materials.
She went home and carried her basket on her back, walked to the entrance of the cafeteria and greeted Yun Amu, then shoveled out the tribe with the engineers and walked towards the mountain.
Yao Xiaoqing looked around and walked straight towards the ravine at the foot of the mountain. Along the way, he collected some platycodon and forsythia and put them in his backpack.
In the late autumn and early winter, the forest is a desolate scene. There are birds with green feathers on the branches, jumping around on the branches with dead grass in their mouths and busy building nests.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, we found that the water in the ditch was so shallow that even small rocks could not cover it.
She thought that she had walked upstream several times, so this time she walked downstream along the ravine.
After walking for more than half an hour, I found a golden retriever ridge on the slope above the ravine.
When I peeled away the dead grass, I found a large lump of roots covered with golden hairs. I don't know how many years they were there.
The hairs of golden retriever spine are a good medicine for stopping bleeding. Remove the golden hair fibrous roots from the roots, wash them, slice them, steam them and dry them in the sun. It is a good medicine for dispelling rheumatism, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and strengthening the waist and knees.
In later generations, it was still a Class II protected plant.
Yao Xiaoqing picked up the shovel and dug out more than a dozen golden retriever plants, shook off the soil and put it into a backpack, and continued walking down.
She found some herbs along the way and walked to a bush. She suddenly found that the bushes were covered with beans.
When I took a closer look, I realized that they were not beans, but pumpkin seeds.
Yao Xiaoqing saw nests of white melons appearing in front of her eyes. She looked at the melons and vines in the bushes and felt excited. She really couldn't stay at home and had to go out often to discover these treasures.
"The king asked me to patrol the mountain. I will walk around the mountain... There are so many treasures in this mountain..."
She hummed a tune happily, put down her backpack, plucked the soil melon seeds from the vines, picked up the shovel and started digging. When two shovels went down, a flat and round soil melon came out of the soil along the shovel.
Pick it up, pat off the soil on it, tear off the khaki skin of the melon, reveal the snow-white flesh inside, take a big bite, it's crispy, tender and juicy, very thirst quenching.
After finishing a local melon, Yao Xiaoqing burped, rubbed his stomach and sighed: "What a good thing! There is another variety in Yao Ji's recipe."
Looking at the soil melon vines all over the bush, she decided to dig a few pieces back first, and then bring people to dig up the soil melons and collect seeds early tomorrow morning.
Yao Xiaoqing picked up the shovel and started working. Soon there were more than a dozen spindle-shaped and flat spherical melons on the ground.
She shook off the soil on the sweet potatoes, put them in her backpack and walked back. She was still thinking that since the sweet potatoes had been discovered, she would just find the rice soon, and she would be able to eat fragrant white rice.
Yao Xiaoqing walked excitedly to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, dark clouds covered the sky, several bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, and rumbles of thunder came from the horizon.
‘Oops, there’s lightning and thunder, don’t let me be struck to death by lightning again. If it happens again, can I wear it back?’ She thought wildly, speeding up her pace and hurried back.
Before we reached the top of the mountain, we saw lightning and thunder, dark clouds rolling, and suddenly a heavy rain poured down, with hail and hail hitting the gray ground.
She sighed and thought to herself: It looks like he will either be struck to death by lightning or hit by hail. Either way, he will die. It is better to be struck to death by lightning. Maybe he can still wear it back!
Thinking like this, she simply ran and hid under a big tree, watching the heavy rain and hail falling through the treetops, and a lot of crystal clear hail soon accumulated on the ground.
Yaohu and Ah Chong ran towards the mountain wearing bamboo hats. The hail hit the bamboo hats and made a crackling sound. When they reached the mountain, the hail gradually stopped and the heavy rain continued to fall.
The two shouted at the top of their lungs: "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing..."
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing..." Yaohu was so anxious that he ran to the hill and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Yao Xiaoqing hid under the tree, listened to the faint shouts, and hurriedly responded loudly, "Hey! Father, I'm here."
She ran out from under the big tree and followed the direction of the sound.
Yao Hu stood on the hill, and through the rain and fog, he saw Yao Xiaoqing, who was carrying a basket on his back and covering his head with a sapper's shovel.
He rushed over in a hurry, put the bamboo hat on her head, and said angrily: "You kid, I finally found you."
Ah Chongbo was busy taking the basket off her shoulders and found that it was quite heavy. "Xiaoqing, what did you find that is so heavy?"
"Good stuff!" Yao Xiaoqing said with a proud smile, "Father, Uncle Chong, I found something good. Let's go back and try it. It's delicious. Let's go dig it tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Let's try it when we get back." Yao Hu looked at her, all wet, like a little animal that had fallen into the water. "Look at you, you are soaked all over. Remember to drink some ginger water when you get back to make yourself sweat."
Looking at Yao Hu's loving eyes, Yao Xiaoqing's heart warmed, "It's ginger tea. You should also drink a bowl to make you sweat!"
"Okay!" Yao Hu picked up the weapon shovel and protected her as she walked back.
The three of them ran down the mountain in the rain, and the rain stopped.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the sky and said, "Hey! God wants to play tricks on people too."
Yao Hu said angrily: "You kid, God doesn't know we are outside."
Yao Xiaoqing, "..."
The three of them walked to the gate. Yao Xiaoqing saw that the dark clouds above his head dispersed, and the blue sky seemed to have been washed with clear water. There was no trace of clouds, and it was deep and transparent.
When they arrived at the canteen, Yun Amu hurriedly brought over the brewed ginger tea and said, "Xiaoqing, come on, have a bowl of ginger tea, go back and change your clothes."
"Okay," Yao Xiaoqing took the tea bowl and pointed at the soil melons in the basket, "Amu, take them, wash them, and cut them open for everyone to taste."
Yao Hu looked at her with a smile and said, "This kid, it's too late for you to talk after you drink!"
"Hehe! I think it tastes delicious. Try it. It's refreshing and thirst-quenching!"
After Yao Xiaoqing finished speaking, she took a sip of ginger tea. The hot ginger tea flowed into her throat, which was slightly spicy. After drinking a bowl of ginger tea, she felt as comfortable as if her body had been soaked with hot water from head to toe.
Yun Amu came out with the local melon and said with a smile: "The skin looks earthy and yellow, but when you cut it open, the flesh inside is white."
"Everyone, try it." Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece and handed it to Yao Hu, "Father, please try it."
Yaohu and Ah Chong picked up a piece and took a bite. After chewing it a few times, they both nodded and said, "It's delicious, crispy and sweet."
"Xiaoqing, this food is delicious. Are there any more in the mountains?" Hua and Dongxue also thought it was delicious.
