Chapter 68: A gentleman does not take what others like

Cheng Qiao and Li Huan went to Uncle Ye's place. Uncle Ye just took the medicine hoe and basket and was about to go up the mountain to collect herbs. When he saw Cheng Qiao coming, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Where does it hurt."

"Uncle Ye, it's not that I'm not feeling well. I want you to check on my mother-in-law. I think her body is not as strong as it seems."

"That's it. Let's go then. I'll go pick up the herbs and stop by to take a look."

Several people rushed home. When Mother Li saw Uncle Ye coming, she hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Uncle Ye was the only doctor in the village. He was always very charitable and every villager respected him.

"Stretch out your hand and I'll give you a safe pulse."

Mother Li was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Cheng Qiao's eager eyes, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. The ancestors of their Li family had shown their power, so they could marry such a good daughter-in-law as Cheng Qiao.

"Well, do you usually feel mentally exhausted, have palpitations and forgetfulness, insomnia, dizziness, and soreness in your waist and knees?"

Mother Li thought for a while and realized that these symptoms had appeared frequently. She was worried that she might have some terminal illness.

"Don't be nervous. It's just a liver and kidney deficiency caused by a deficiency of qi and blood. Just take some medicine and it will be fine. I will give you a prescription right now. However, there are some things I don't have here. You can look for it yourself."

"Uncle Ye, go ahead and let me see if I can go to the mountains."

Cheng Qiao was worried that Mother Li would refuse, so she spoke quickly. When Mother Li heard that something was missing, she really wanted to forget it, but when Cheng Qiao said this, she shut her mouth. She couldn't hurt her child's feelings.

"A bowl of Codonopsis pilosula, fried Eucommia ulmoides, roasted licorice, braised yam, wine cornus, cooked rehmannia, and wolfberry every day can treat physical discomfort caused by insufficient liver and kidney, as well as Qi and blood deficiency."

Cheng Qiao picked up the prescription and recited it silently, then looked at Uncle Ye with bright eyes: "Uncle Ye, let me go with you to collect herbs today, and I can identify these herbs by the way."

Uncle Ye frowned slightly, glanced at Cheng Qiao, who was looking at him nervously, and nodded involuntarily. Cheng Qiao was an educated youth, so it would be beneficial to learn another trade.

Li Huan was a little nervous, but seeing how energetic Cheng Qiao was, he couldn't help but soften his heart. Forget it, he didn't have anything to do recently, so he would just go with his wife.

"Young man, if it's convenient for you, get more eggs, milk, cabbage, apples, ribs soup, pears, fish, and shrimp for your mother to replenish. Your wife should also replenish her."

Li Huan's heart moved, and he took Cheng Qiao's hand and moved closer to Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, help my wife see if she is pregnant."

Uncle Ye shook his head. One look at Cheng Qiao's face showed that he was pregnant, but he couldn't look at it now, otherwise Cheng Qiao would not be pregnant at the right time. He had only been married for about a month, and the miracle doctor couldn't diagnose the slippery pulse.

It seems that Li Huan and Cheng Qiao did fall into that educated youth's scheme that night, but both of them were smarter. Cheng Qiao escaped at the critical moment and came back, crushing the educated youth's conspiracy.

Li Huan took out two carrying baskets and a hoe. He gave the small carrying basket to Cheng Qiao and carried the big carrying basket on his own. Then he asked Mother Li to close the door, take a good rest and prepare to go up the mountain.

A few people walked slowly into the mountains. The wild fruits in the mountains made Cheng Qiao's eyes warm. Physalis physalis, pallet, lantern fruit, rose fruit, especially wild kiwi fruit, with delicate flesh and sweet fruity taste.

Cheng Qiao took advantage of Li Huan and Uncle Ye not paying attention and smuggled a lot of wild fruits into the space, and there were more and more things in the basket on his back.

Li Huan saw mountain nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts and pecans, and quickly got them back. He took those things home and fried them, which would not only satisfy the cat's hunger during the winter, but also keep him hungry.

Uncle Ye suddenly stopped moving. It turned out that he saw the mature Schisandra fruit. This fruit is dried or steamed and dried in the sun to remove the fruit stems and impurities. It has the effect of strengthening the body and can be used in combination with Qiongzhen Ganoderma to treat insomnia.

Cheng Qiao and the others naturally recognized Schisandra chinensis and helped them pick it together. However, Cheng Qiao always felt a voice calling her. She slowly walked forward based on her feeling and found several red fruits under a big tree with a sunny back.

.

I went, and Cheng Qiao quickly ran over, took out a small knife from the space, and started digging eagerly. But as soon as he dug a small hole, Uncle Ye stopped him.

"Stop, put the knife away quickly, don't you know you can't use iron tools to dig ginseng?"

Cheng Qiao was shocked. She really didn't know that there was such a thing. She quickly put away the knife and made way for Uncle Ye.

Uncle Ye took out a red silk thread from his pocket and tied up the wild ginseng. Every time he went up the mountain, he was ready to dig ginseng. But after going up the mountain hundreds of times, the wild ginseng seemed to be dead.

It looked like something he had never seen before.

"You're such a lucky girl, you actually found wild ginseng."

Uncle Ye took out a set of simple tools from his backpack and started digging. After digging for an unknown amount of time, a ginseng tree with a graceful body and five shapes appeared in front of him.

"Huh, this ginseng has a strong and strong body, a solid and exquisite texture, long beards that are dancing around dragons and snakes, prominent pearl points, long reed heads, two horse teeth, round arms and round reeds, it's a good thing."

"Uncle Ye, how old is this ginseng tree?"

Cheng Qiao didn't understand anything, he only knew how to ask the year. Uncle Ye saw that the wild ginseng had horse tooth reed, pile flower reed, and garden reed. This ginseng must be at least thirty years old. At this time, he had to pay attention to every detail.

If the traces of a pile are clearly counted, these traces are the age of the pile of flower reeds.

"Preliminary estimates are that there will still be some in seventy or eighty years. Cheng Qiao, are you willing to give up your love?"

Cheng Qiao felt a little reluctant. She wanted to plant wild ginseng in space. The speed of time in the black soil of space was twice that of the outside. Wild ginseng could thrive inside.

"Forget it, a gentleman won't take away someone's favor, so you should take it back. If you don't know how to concoct it, come and find me."

Uncle Ye carefully handed the wild ginseng to Li Huan, and Li Huan quickly handed it to Cheng Qiao. Speaking from his heart, Li Huan was really worried that Cheng Qiao would be embarrassed to nod in agreement.

You must know that being able to dig wild ginseng brings great luck. How can you just give your luck away casually? Fortunately, Uncle Ye did not force the wild ginseng.

"Uncle Ye, this is the first time I dug this ginseng tree. I want to keep it in mind. If I dig it again, it will be yours."

Uncle Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly. The little girl knows how to coax people. Those are wild ginseng, not wild vegetables and weeds. They are everywhere. You can see them as long as you lower your head.

The group of people walked some distance toward the mountain. Li Huan was worried that Cheng Qiao's body was too much to bear, so he found a relatively clean place and asked Cheng Qiao to come and have a rest and eat something to replenish his strength.

Cheng Qiao's legs were indeed trembling. He walked over quickly and was about to sit down when Uncle Ye suddenly screamed in a low voice: "Don't move, it's dangerous."
