Xie Yushu stood in front of the stone and hesitated for a moment, then decided to dig out the hole to see what was inside.
Just do it, immediately put down the backpack, picked up the pickaxe and started digging from the entrance of the hole. The hole extended inward along the big stone, so Xie Yushu had to transport the soil out after digging for a while.
After digging about as deep as one person, the hole began to widen. After digging for a while, I finally saw something, a shriveled dead field mouse, exuding a pungent stench!
Did you guess wrong?
No, you can't! Can a mouse steal such a big hole?
Or this is not the real owner! The real owner is still inside!
Thinking of this, Xie Yushu's hair stood up! Be alert instantly! But after staring for a quarter of an hour, there was no movement!
The hole has been dug to this extent, how can we be willing to accept it if we don’t see what’s going on!
Xie Yushu used a pickaxe to hook away the dead mouse, climbed into the hole and used the pickaxe to hook it in. Sure enough, she felt something soft. A big red snake with thick arms rolled out!
Xie Yushu’s soul was so frightened that she flew away! Jumped several meters at once! Instinctively put the knife across the chest!
"Mom!"
However, the snake kept its belly facing up and did not move for a long time. Xie Yushu poked it with a knife, but it still didn't move. Then she had the courage to go over and check it out!
She had never seen this kind of snake, not even on the Internet. It was red as fire, with a sharp triangular snake head and two sharp long teeth at the corners of its mouth. It looked extremely venomous at first glance, but it was already dead.
The strange thing is that this dead snake does not stink. It seems that it died not long ago. Xie Yushu looked at the shriveled dead rat over there and guessed that the snake might have sucked the blood of the rat and survived to this point in a place without water. !
Although I dislike snakes very much, snake venom and snake bile are indeed good medicines for treating diseases.
Snake venom can be made into special anti-venom, analgesics and hemostatic agents, which are more effective than morphine and meperidine and are not addictive. Snake gallbladder can dispel wind and calm convulsions, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, cool the liver and improve eyesight, and detoxify.
Xie Yushu endured the discomfort in her heart and neatly peeled off the venom glands and gallbladder of the snake. Thinking that the snake had left behind two good medicines after death, which was considered a great merit, she pushed its body back into the hole and buried it, and then walked around it again. Search carefully near the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, I found dried ginseng leaves two or three meters away from the cave entrance!
After Xie Yushu first cleaned up the weeds and fallen leaves nearby, she found a wooden stick and gently moved the soil from far to near. She gently separated the soil from all directions to find out the direction of the main roots and determine the size of the excavation range. Dig down to the bottom of the ginseng root bit by bit until the bottom of the ginseng is hollowed out. Until the main body of the ginseng is exposed, it is as big as the palm of your hand, and there are two plants right next to each other! Two plants!
She has seen wild ginseng that is about a hundred years old. It is about the size of two fingers and has a market price of hundreds of thousands. This one is several times larger than the one that is a hundred years old. The main body of the ginseng is longer than her hand, and the ginseng whiskers are almost as long as her arms. , I'm afraid it must be a thousand years old!
Xie Yushu was ecstatic, and while thanking the time-travel god for taking such special care of her and giving her such good luck, she carefully and slowly removed the soil between the ginseng roots to ensure that the dug ginseng was intact.
By the time she dug out the two ginseng plants completely, the sun was almost setting!
Xie Yushu breathed a long sigh of relief, tore off two pieces of her inner clothes, carefully wrapped them up, and put them into her arms, then packed up her backpack and hurried back!
When she returned to the camp, Xie Tianqi and the Liu brothers had already returned. Xie Tianqi dug three large bundles of yams. Counting her bundle, there were four bundles in total. Twelve bundles of yams were collected. I don’t know how many trips these people made to transport these yams back!
Xie Tianqi said happily after seeing Xie Yushu
"Sister, you're back. Brother Liu and I were just going to find you! Did you step on the medicine my brother-in-law used?"
"Well! I stepped on it a little! I came back a little late, which made you worry!"
"Sister, look, what we gained in one afternoon!"
"good!"
Xie Yushu asked while taking off her backpack.
"Where's Liu Nan?"
"He went hunting. He won't be hungry just by eating yams!" Liu Qiang said after hearing Xie Yushu's question.
"Going by yourself?"
"Well, he's good at archery, so he won't have any problems if he doesn't provoke those big guys!"
In order to prevent wild beasts, the fire could not be extinguished at night, so Xie Tianqi and Liu Qiang went to chop wood again!
Xie Yushu found a large smooth stone slab and placed it on the fire to dry the snake's venom glands and gallbladder. The weather is so hot, if you don't take care of it quickly, it will be in vain if it breaks down!
When the slate is heated, Xie Yushu throws the venom glands and snake gall onto it, and bakes it bit by bit until the venom glands are slightly burnt, the venom inside turns into light yellow crystal particles, and all the water in the snake gall evaporates, turning into a dried snake gall the size of an egg. , then found the handkerchiefs, wrapped them separately and put them away.
After she finished dealing with this, Xie Tianqi and the Liu brothers also came back one after another. Xie Tianqi and Liu Qiang each carried back a dead tree as thick as one person, while Liu Nan carried back a half-large wild deer.
"Wow, what is this? Its horns are so beautiful!"
Xie Tianqi had never seen a wild deer in his life, so he asked curiously
"This is a wild deer. It is very clever and difficult to hunt. If it weren't for the large number of animals in the dry mountains, it would be almost difficult to encounter it! I only saw other hunters selling fur once when I went to the city to sell it!" Liu Nan explained
Xie Yushu was surprised for a moment, Xie Tianqi didn't know the deer!
But it’s not surprising when you think about it. This is not the future after all. There are children’s picture manuals, mobile phones and TVs, etc. Children in kindergarten can recognize all the animals. Unless you see them with your own eyes, you really have no chance to know them here!
"I heard that these antlers are also medicinal materials! I don't know how much money they are worth? Sister Xie, don't you know about medicinal materials? Do you know?" Liu Nan asked while he and Liu Qiang were picking up the wild deer.
"Yes! Deer antler tastes sweet, salty, warm in nature, and returns to the kidney and liver meridian. It can strengthen muscles and bones, nourish kidney yang, replenish essence and blood, regulate Chong and Ren, and treat sores. It is also used by wealthy people for health care. pill!
As for how much it is worth, it depends on the opportunity and the market! A deer antler should cost anywhere from five to twenty taels of silver! "
"Five to twenty taels! Then my couple can buy at least one acre of land! Brother! Our family can get another acre of land!" Liu Nan said happily after hearing this.
Liu Qiang also had a rare smile on his face after hearing this! Even if the lowest price is five taels per deer antler, it can still be sold for ten taels of silver! An acre of good farmland costs only 10 taels of silver. Those near water sources are more expensive, 12 taels of silver per acre.
If you buy wasteland and reclaim it yourself, it only costs 5 taels of silver per acre, and there is not much food to harvest in the first two years of the wasteland, so you don’t have to pay taxes. Anyway, their family has a lot of labor and is not afraid of hardship and hardship. When the time comes to buy two acres of wasteland and open it, the family can live for a day. Two meals of porridge are also good!
At this time, Liu Qiang had never seen the sky. If he could survive, having porridge to drink every day would make him very satisfied!
However, Xie Yushu said
"It's your brother's turn to get rich today, and luck can't stop it. Your deer is worth more than just these pair of antlers!
