Xiaoman looked at the weeds that could be seen everywhere in the ditches on the roadside, and said with some confusion: "Isn't this grass just the loach strings used to feed pigs and sheep? People can also eat some of the tender tips, and they can also cure diseases?"
He knew this grass. It would grow young leaves in two days. After blanching, it would become a seasonal side dish.
Jiang Zhi nodded: "It's called Loach Chuan, also called Tanabe chrysanthemum, and it's edible and tender and screams Malantou.
Don't think we use it as pigweed. Now pounding the root and boiling it in water is a good medicine for digestion.
If a strong person encounters sudden abdominal pain in the wild and it is inconvenient to boil water, you can pull out the loach string and scrape off the black skin on the root to eat it raw. Just remember, only a short section of the knuckle is needed, not more. eat. "
The harvest period of loach string is in summer and autumn, and the whole plant is used as medicine to regulate qi, digestion, and remove swelling. Malantou combined with Zheergen is used to treat indigestion in children.
If eaten raw, it is a powerful medicine that can be used to treat heat stroke and abdominal colic.
Jiang Zhi patiently taught his two children these survival skills.
Xiao Man was simply stunned when he heard that pigweed had so many medicinal effects.
He took the weeds that he usually stepped on with some caution, quickly took them back to the stove, and began to pound the roots of the loach skewers, boil them in water and drink them according to Jiang Zhi's instructions.
Next to him, Xu Errui also looked admiring: "Mom, this is a weed, can it really cure diseases?"
He still didn't believe it.
Jiang Zhi still needs to explain other people's doubts, but she doesn't panic at all when it comes to her son's questions: "You should learn a little bit from me. Don't understand anything. I have to worry about everything!"
Xu Errui nodded repeatedly: He must remember, otherwise his mother will say he is stupid again.
Back at home, Qiaoyun had already prepared the afternoon meal.
People in Xujia Village have been accustomed to eating only two meals a day for thousands of years, and Xu Errui was hungry for a long time.
At this time, he saw that there were stewed soup, cakes, and a little bit of dried meat. He immediately forgot about Qinggangzi.
Now my mother arranges to eat the eggs and dried meat at home every day, and no longer hides them and keeps them in exchange for money, Xu Errui feels happy.
At this time, he felt more and more that it was good to listen to his mother and go up the mountain!
Looking at the "silly son" who was happy to eat when he had a stutter, Jiang Zhi smiled and shook his head.
Xu Errui is an ordinary farm boy.
No matter how bad-tempered she was, she made the same arrangements for her children as other peasant women. She ate, clothed, and saved money so that her children could marry and have children early and take on the responsibility of the family.
Xu Errui also has no ambitions or missions. He wants to marry a wife, have children, listen to his mother, and live his life honestly.
In fact, such a temperament was good in peaceful times, and it is not bad now.
Jiang Zhi asked Xu Errui to send some freshly cleaned folded ear roots to Xiaoman's family.
She wanted to wait until the sky cleared up, and Xiao Man would be in charge of the crop fields. There was no farm work for the time being, so she would immediately start collecting herbs.
The harvesting seasons of various herbs are different. If you miss it, you have to wait until the next year to start from scratch.
Since you are going to stay here for a long time, it is inevitable that you will have some headaches, fever, and abdominal distension like today. You must prepare ordinary medicines so as not to be caught off guard.
Moreover, we should take advantage of the convenience of hiding in the mountains to collect more herbs and store them.
Once the outside society calms down, he can exchange medicinal materials for money, and he will not panic when building a home in the future.
At night, whether because he had a goal in life or because the kang was too hot, Jiang Zhi dreamed again.
In my ears, there is still the unhurried reading voice of the AI baritone:
"The people from Xujia Village finally arrived at Yuzhou Prefecture, but the city gate of the Prefecture Prefecture was hung high to keep out the growing number of refugees."
“In the cold rain, dozens of villagers hid under tarpaulins or beside their own mules and horses, barely finding shelter.
But the cold wind and rain could not block it. Some people were already suffering from cold, and coughs could be heard one after another. "
"Xu Pingmao led people from the city gate and shook his head in the expectant eyes of the villagers: The guards still wouldn't let anyone in."
"Some people couldn't stand it and started to yell: You don't kill the rebels with swords and guns, you only show your power to the people, and watch thousands of people do nothing in the rain!"
"There are also people who regret running away. Even if they are robbed or killed, it is better to stay at home than to suffer here."
"Although he was only three hundred miles away from home, Nie Fantian was already thinner than he was in the village, and his eyes were sharp and vaguely violent. It was like a bloody knife.
The villagers were very afraid of him and stayed away from him, and looked at him with even more fear. "
"In just three hundred miles, the villagers walked for more than twenty days. It was okay at the beginning. They could walk thirty or forty miles a day with their families, but it became difficult when they were robbed.
After several rounds of fighting, the refugees died, and the villagers gradually became injured, making the journey slower and slower.
Then it started to rain.
Villagers not only need to protect themselves from hungry and anxious refugees, but also take care of the steady rain.
The roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, and fatigue and wind and cold followed one after another.
Fortunately, Nie Fantian killed several refugees who tried to rob them along the way, and protected the villagers' property with murderous intent.
Because Nie Fantian contributed the most, the village chief Xu Pingmao asked each household to hand over some grain as a reward. "
"With his fierceness, Nie Fantian no longer has to worry about food. He likes this feeling of being awed and feared by others!
Sitting on the wet package, Nie Fantian tightened his belt and looked over the tall city wall not far away, landing on the armored soldiers behind the wall.
Looking at those sharp spears and dark shields, he felt more and more urgent to join the army and make a name for himself. "
"Now that the Yuzhou Prefecture has received news that insurgents are slaughtering villages in surrounding counties and towns and planning to storm the city, they immediately mobilize their troops to seal the city and no longer let people in. The refugees can only camp in the mountains and forests outside the city."
"...The clouds are thick, the ground is shining with white water, and outside the city is dark and crowded..."
Jiang Zhi gradually fell asleep as he spoke.
At this time, Xiaoman and his family were still sleeping.
Xu Dazhu ate a lot of qinggangguo, and he was supposed to get sick the next day. He was weak and had bad gastrointestinal problems, so he started to have abdominal pain in the middle of the night.
Xiaoman was wrapped in a thin quilt and put the prepared medicinal soup to Xu Dazhu's mouth: "Brother, take another sip!"
He looked anxious. In the afternoon, Aunt Jiang told her to boil loach root and started drinking it. Now it still hurts!
Xu Dazhu was sweating on his forehead. He endured the abdominal pain and slowly drank the herbal water. He didn't know whether the medicine was effective.
I always have abdominal distension and pain once or twice a month, and it takes me a few days to get over it no matter what.
He went to the doctor urgently, and now the pain is severe, so he drinks grass root soup.
Next to her, Xiaoman's grandma was not sleeping either, and was feeling very distressed at this moment.
It doesn't matter to the two of them whether the herbal medicine has any effect, as long as it can make the child feel better.
Unexpectedly, after struggling until dawn, the pain subsided and I finally got over it.
Jiang Zhi only found out about the onset of the disease in the morning, but it was already in remission. Knowing that it was the loach skewers taking effect, he was asked to continue drinking it a few more times to stabilize the effect.
Next, you need to drink some rice porridge to take care of your stomach and intestines, so that there will be no major problems.
It was just this time that Dazhu's energy and spirit, which had been restored to some point, were defeated again.
Knowing that his whole body was weak, he didn't dare to be impatient anymore, so he could only be patient and take it easy.
