2. Chapter 2 Children's Fun in the Mountains

Yi Qiu pinched Qinglan's little face and praised: "Qinglan is so smart."

At the same time, we also told the friends next to us, "There are not many herbs at the foot of the mountain. We need to walk a while to the mountainside. No matter whether there are any big python, wild boar, wild wolf, etc., we still have to be careful.

For a moment, the children started talking about the topic of the big python, and they quarreled and said that you had arrived at the foot of the mountain without realizing it.

"Hehe, you'll be at the foot of the mountain soon, brother, let's go up the mountain quickly." Xiao Qinglan smiled and grimaced.

After hearing Qinglan say this, Yi Qiu suddenly stopped. Yi Qiu lifted up his pants and rolled up his sleeves. However, the exposed skin was covered with scars and blood scabs, and almost no complete skin without scars. The children were silently touched the scars on Yi Qiu's arms and tears were dripping.

Seeing everyone looking at themselves, Yi Qiu showed a calm and smile that was not the same age as me: "If you don't want to be scratched by the vines in the mountain like me, you must be careful in every step. You can see the place where you land and then step on it. Be careful to step on it when you step out of the empty place and fall down and be injured by the rocks. You can first slap with a stick in the place where the leaves are densely fallen, so that you can avoid the snakes and scorpions hiding under the dead leaves to hurt us. Although there are only not many large beasts at the foot of the mountain, and you can't be careless because of this, especially Xiao Qinglan and Hongxiu Sister. Don't you want to leave some scars on your cute faces, right?"

The children nodded and shook their heads in a hurry, while Qinglan and Hongxiu played with their tongues and their necks.

Yi Qiu used a branch to pick up a vine: "Look, like this vine, there are small spikes on the vine, which are very sharp, and the leaves of this vine also have jagged teeth. Do you want to try to cut your little hands open?"

Hutou snatched the crawler's hands and pulled it into two pieces. He threw it away and looked at Yi Qiu with contempt: "Although Mr. Peng has a strange personality, he taught us real things. You are the only one who thinks this crawler is like this. You must know that any of us can easily break branches that are several inches thick!"

Seeing this, Yi Qiu nodded and said nothing, but turned around and took the lead to walk up the mountain and crawled.

The little friends laughed and slapped the branches, leaves and vines around them with iron hooks in their hands, chasing them.

Yi Qiu looked at Tiger Head, Shi Tou and the others with agility, steady and powerful steps. Even Xiao Qinglan and Hongxiu were extremely light, chasing in the mountains was like a butterfly. The eyes couldn't help but reveal the envy that children of this age should have. However, after thinking about their own situation, they could only force their envy. In fact, God knows how much I want to learn skills with my friends at Mr. Peng?

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qinglan jumped to Yi Qiu's side.

"Oh, nothing, let's go, sister Qinglan." After saying that, he pulled Qinglan's little hand and walked slowly upwards. At the same time, the green bamboo in his hand kept fiddling with the surrounding wild grass and flowers, while Qinglan followed her brother Yi Qiu obediently.

The road from the foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain is not very steep. The real steep is from the mountain to the side of the mountain. It is really a thousand feet tall, and it is difficult for monkeys to climb.

"Hey, there is such a big plant here." Yi Qiu was surprised and squatted down carefully in front of a vine with seven or eight inches high purple-brown leaves with three petals. At the same time, he took out a small shovel from the medicine frame on his back. He carefully cleaned the weeds around the roots of the vine and other leaf vines that were entangled with it. After cleaning up the debris around him, he began to use a small shovel to dig up the stone and soil around the roots.

Xiao Qinglan looked at her brother's careful appearance and squatted down casually. "Brother, is this also a medicinal herb? I see there are so many such vines around here."

Hearing this, Yi Qiu carefully digged while explaining without looking back: "Do you see this vine the same as the ones around? First of all, its color is purple-brown, and secondly, its leaves are divided into three different from the vines around it."

Xiao Qinglan looked carefully and said in surprise: "It's really true, brother, most of the vines around here are divided into two pieces, and the color is blue and purple, which is much lighter than this color. What's the use of it?"

"You also know that my mother almost lost her childbirth because she was pregnant with my younger brother a few years ago... Well... With the fatigue of these years, the doctor in the town said that my mother was injured and was already suffering from both qi and blood. Ordinary medicines were difficult to take effect, let alone cure them. Although I am taking the medicine I picked every day, I can only maintain a normal life after all. Well, this vine is called the brown blood vine, and its main effect is to replenish blood. The normal rhizome is about one inch long. You see, this one is almost two inches long. Based on this, it has grown for at least twenty years." Yi Qiu gently dug out the rhizomes of the brown blood vine from the soil and wiped it with her sleeves. After seeing it, he put it in the medicine frame with grass leaves on her back.

"Brother, you know so much"

Yi Qiu stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his clothes and smiled. "Hongxiu was watching her brother Shi Tou. They all seem to have learned a lot from Mr. Peng in the past three years. They came to the mountain to play. It's the same with me and I, but I, I, I, and I, so let's continue to move forward."

When Qinglan heard this, he was dissatisfied with "Hmph, brother, don't look at Hongxiu's gentleness, it hurts so much in Mr. Peng's family who fights with Qinglan every time she competes with her! By the way, brother, I heard that Dr. Guo in the town wants to accept you as his disciple. Are you taught these abilities by him?"

Yi Qiu smiled and said, "Well, half of it was taught by Doctor Guo, and half of it was learned by myself. It was the book "History of Dongzhu Medicine" that you dug out from under my bed a few days ago."

"Brother, teach me"

Yi Qiu smiled bitterly, "I don't know much. Besides, I have to learn this for a long time just by learning it. What can I teach you in a short while? Well, that's roughly the case. The medicine book says that it is necessary to observe the shape of the medicine, smell the fragrance, and taste the taste, and then make it accurate."

Qinglan stared at her two big eyes to compare with Yi Qiu, "Brother, can you taste the herbs indiscriminately? What if you get poisoned?" There was a bit of anxiety on her face."

Have you tried it? I don’t know how many medicines I tried. The bitterness and astringency taste in the process of tasting the medicine will not be understood without personal experience. Of course, Yi Qiu would not say these things, but smiled bitterly: "Taste? How dare I? Doctor Guo taught me what kind of medicine I picked, and I gradually learned more medicinal materials. Besides, pharmacists who are ordinary pharmacists dare not take medicine randomly, so how dare I taste it randomly? However, I read the medicine book that there must be something incompatible with the place where poisonous medicines and poisonous substances appear within seven steps. If you follow this principle, even if you accidentally get poisoned in the wild, you can find antidote stones around it. Of course, this is what you say, no one will really verify it like this! "

After listening to it, Xiao Qinglan nodded slightly and stopped talking.

In the next two hours, Yi Qiu was picking the medicinal materials he needed while explaining to Qinglan: "Look at the white hair on the top of this grass, it is the white-headed man. Well, the back of the golden retriever can be collected. Do you see if the surface of it is dense with golden fluff? This...."

During Yi Qiu's occasional herb collection process and constant explanation, the rising sun unconsciously climbed to the top of his head.

"Little monkey, little Qinglan, there are mountain springs here, come and rest."

Yi Qiu listened to Gou Sheng's call and looked at Xiao Qinglan's already tired face beside her and felt guilty. No matter how she was just taking care of herbs, she didn't expect to ask her sister to rest. Although she was studying at Mr. Peng, she was still in a while, and it was the first time a little girl came to climb a mountain.

"Sister Qinglan, are you tired? Let's go ahead and have some mountain springs and eat some dry steamed buns I brought."

Qinglan shook her head crisply: "Qinglan is not tired, my brother is tired, my brother is carrying such a big frame."

Yi Qiu smiled and led Qinglan to a mountain spring not far ahead, with fat tiger heads, stones, dogs, big tails, and red sleeves all gathered here. Although they were talking and laughing, they could not hide the tiredness on their faces when they saw them. And among them, there were many colorful roots and stems.

Seeing the arrival of Yi Qiu and his sister, Shi Tou shouted: "Little monkey, come and see what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. I'm starving to death." He also touched his stomach with his little hand.

Yi Qiu went up and squatted down to identify the melons and fruits that had accumulated on the ground for a while, picked out several small mushroom-shaped and black fruits, etc., and threw them aside: "These mushrooms look similar to what we eat on the surface, but they are poisonous. Although they are not very toxic, they can make people dizzy after eating. If you eat too much, they can also blind people."

He raised a small black fruit as big as a thumb. "The black fruit is recorded in the medicine book called Mu Mango. It is a medicinal material. Although it is not poisonous, if you eat it, you will surely vomit and diarrhea for the whole day." Yan went to Hutou and smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"

The tiger slapped the wooden mango in Yi Qiu's hand and slapped: "I won't try it, so you can eat the rest? Hehe, we know that if you don't tell me, my father often picks these yams, green fruits, lemon vegetables, wolfberry sprouts and so on!"

After saying that, he grabbed a green fruit and rubbed it on his pants and threw it towards Tianyi. Then he raised his head and his mouth naturally fell into the tiger's open mouth that was raised to the sky.

While chewing, he shouted in a speechless manner: "You get these little monkeys that are medicinal herbs to one side, everyone else will come and eat them."

Qinglan grabbed a handful of wolfberry buds from the ground and washed them in the mountain spring and handed them to Yi Qiu halfway: "Brother, come and have something to eat."
