Along the way, Yao Xiaoqing collected some motherwort, Houttuynia cordata, mint, parsnip, calamus, and bupleurum. Shan Amu looked for mushrooms and wild vegetables, and also found a piece of Panax notoginseng.
These Panax notoginseng rhizomes are thick and have grown for who knows how many years. This is a good medicine for dispersing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain. She hurriedly called Shan Amu.
The two picked up the bamboo knives and dug out the Panax notoginseng. After a while, they dug out a few yellow-brown lumps that looked like spindles. They held them in their hands and pressed them. Yao Xiaoqing estimated that they weighed at least four or five taels each.
The two of them dug in silence for an hour or two, digging out thirty or forty thirty-seven.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan Amu: "Amu, these can be used for a while if you bring them back. The others will just grow here."
Shan Amu nodded and picked up the Panax notoginseng in the basket on his back, "Xiao Qing, what are these dirt lumps for?"
Yao Xiaoqing said: "It's used to stop bleeding."
Shan'am smiled and nodded, "Oh! It's a good thing to stop bleeding. They often get scratched by wild animals when they go hunting. Remember this place and come back to dig again in a few days."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and the two of them continued walking along the small ravine with their backpacks on their backs.
The water in the ditch is crystal clear, and you can even see eels drilling their heads out of the hole.
Yao Xiaoqing discovered that there were many chestnut trees growing in the valley. The trees were covered with emerald-green chestnuts wrapped in hedgehog-like shells. It looked like they were still some time away from maturity.
Going further, Yao Xiaoqing saw a patch of tall green bar trees, which were full of green bar fruits. On the green bar trees that had died and fell to the ground, there were clusters of black fungus.
Shan Amu looked at the green bar fruit on the tree and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiao Qing, the fruit produced by this tree is bitter and astringent, and it is unpalatable to eat."
She has never tasted the green stick fruit. In her previous life, there were many fruits on the mountain, and everyone would cut them back to make charcoal, but she had never seen anyone picking the fruits back.
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Let's pick more of the black fungus growing on the trees and add vegetables in winter. Let's go back and let Uncle Shui and the others cut down some small trees and burn some green charcoal to store."
"Okay." Shan Amu put down his backpack, picked off the fungus from the tree trunk, and put it on the wild vegetables.
The two picked for a while, feeling that the sky was getting darker, the air was filled with the smell of moisture, the wind rustled the leaves, and the smell of rot in the forest drifted away with the wind.
Yao Xiaoqing put the fungus into the basket and said: "Emma, it's going to rain."
Shan'am nodded, "It rains a lot during these days."
The two of them hurriedly climbed up the mountain. After going up the mountain, they saw three men from the Shenmu tribe hurried back with their prey on their shoulders.
Just as Yao Xiaoqing and Shan Amu wanted to escape, they found that it was already too late. Yan had already seen the two of them.
Yan shouted to Yao Xiaoqing: "Brothers, the two in front are women from the Yaoshan tribe."
"Catch them and bring them back to the tribe." One person shouted arrogantly.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the three of them and thought: If you can't hide, go head on! By the way, let's test it, what are the results of these months of hard training?
Yan stared at Yao Xiaoqing with poisonous eyes, wishing he could stare her to death on the spot. He threw down the goat he was carrying on his shoulders and walked towards Yao Xiaoqing.
"Let's capture them to avenge Huahu and the others." The other person dropped the prey and yelled, rushing towards the two of them.
Shan'am hurriedly stopped in front of her, shouting, "Xiaoqing, run quickly."
"Emma, hide in the woods quickly."
Yan Meng smiled and said, "Be honest and I'll give you a good time!"
Shan'am stretched out his arms to protect Yao Xiaoqing like an old hen, "Xiaoqing, let's go."
"Let's go." Yao Xiaoqing shouted sternly, pulled Shan Amu away, put down the backpack on his shoulder, pulled out a dagger with one hand, took out a stone with the other and threw it towards Yan's eyes. He did several actions in one go, as if he had been trained for thousands of times.
Like all over.
Yan noticed something flying towards him and hurriedly dodged, shouting, "Be careful, this little female wolf is very evil."
"You have a stinky mouth, I will knock out your stinky teeth."
Yao Xiaoqing threw stones one after another.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" The stone flew towards him with strong wind and the air. Yan was in a hurry, and his mouth, kneecap, and eyes were hit by the stone.
"Ah~ah~" Yan covered his eyes, screamed repeatedly, and fell to the ground.
"Brother, kill this little she-wolf..."
The other two people howled, spread out and rushed towards Yao Xiaoqing. One of them raised a stone ax to chop at her, and the other raised a stone knife to chop at her.
"Seeking death!" Yao Xiaoqing scolded, holding the dagger in his hand, sliding half a step to the left to avoid the oncoming stone ax, and stabbed a person in the waist with force, the dagger was quickly pulled out, and blood was like a fountain.
The jet spurted out, and without pausing for a moment, he took a step to the right, ducked behind the other person, and stabbed him in the waist with a knife.
In a moment, both of them fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Shan Amu looked at Yao Xiaoqing in the forest, passing between the two people like a gust of wind, but in the blink of an eye, a burst of blood mist was sprayed out, and the two people fell down.
She felt that there must be gods following Yao Xiaoqing to protect her, so she could achieve such a fast speed. She looked at Yao Xiaoqing with her hands clasped together, and murmured to herself, "Gods protect you, Qing Wu, gods protect you, Qing
witch……"
Yan heard two muffled sounds and looked up to see his two companions falling to the ground. He was so angry that his eyes were splitting. "Little she-wolf, I'll kill you..." he roared and picked up the stone knife on the ground.
He rushed towards her.
Yao Xiaoqing dodged, raised his hand and stabbed his chest with a knife, then pushed him to the ground with a palm of the knife.
She turned around and glanced at Shan'am, who was looking at her in awe, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
Shan'am hurriedly came out of the forest, picked up Yao Xiaoqing's backpack on the ground, and followed her back without even daring to look at those people.
The two of them walked dozens of steps and saw the goats and pheasants still on the ground, as well as badgers, pigs and roe deer. Yao Xiaoqing thought to himself: The three of them have hunted so much prey. It seems that there are many wild animals in the forest.
Sure enough, there are fewer and fewer.
Shan'am looked at the prey and said to Yao Xiaoqing respectfully: "Xiaoqing, do you want these things?" She looked at Yao Xiaoqing's expression, and it was no longer as casual as before.
"Yes, why not? You will be punished by God for wasting food." Yao Xiaoqing picked up the badger pig on the ground and put it on his backpack.
"I am strong, I will take the goats and roe deer."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, when we get to the back of the hill, let Gen come down and help you." He picked up a few pheasants and walked back.
Shan Amu put the goat on the basket, tied it with a rope, carried the basket with all his strength, picked up the roe deer, and followed her.
The weather was so hot that the two of them were sweating down their necks. Yao Xiaoqing wiped the sweat on his leather jacket and watched as the sky became darker and darker, and dark clouds seemed to be pressing above their heads.
