There are also a few jade hairpins here, but they are not treasures. There is also a wooden one, which looks like it is used by men to tie their hair. It should be hidden because it has some special meaning, otherwise it would be useless to put it outside. No one will take it away.
"I picked that one up from a crack in the bed. I probably dropped it accidentally. It wasn't valuable, so I didn't think about it. I thought it was okay, so I took it back together."
Seeing Qingyan holding the hairpin and studying it carefully, Chou Chou explained.
Qingyan: "..."
Well, she was overthinking it. No matter what, this can be considered an antique. Put it back on the table and let Chou Chou put it into the space together.
She looked out the window and saw that the wind direction had changed at some point, and the smoke from the wormwood was blowing in the direction of the horse. The horse was choked by the smoke and shook its head, and its nose was blowing out hard, as if it was coughing.
Qingyan hurriedly went out and moved the horse to the other side of the window. She tied it here not because she was afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, but because she was worried that it would be too far away when it was time to leave. What if Chou Chou couldn't take him with her?
After tying the horse again, Qingyan asked Chou Chou to bring out a straw mat and spread it on the bed. Then she took the little leopard out and put it on the bed to let it move freely.
The main reason was that the bear skin looked too dirty, and he was afraid that the little leopard would roll on it and get covered in bear fur, and she would not be able to pick it up.
After preparing some food and drink for the little leopard, Qingyan sat on the bench nearby.
In fact, this time should be when she felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap, but in this place, she couldn't sleep at all.
Although there was no danger with Chou Chou, there were no doors or windows here. Even if she knew there was no one and no wild beasts dared to come, she still subconsciously felt insecure.
At most, there are four walls and a roof, which can protect you from wind and rain, which is a little better than in the wilderness.
After sitting for a while, watching the little leopard eat and drink, and chatting with Chou Chou about the previous gains, I felt a little bored.
"Chou Chou, how about we take a stroll around here? It doesn't seem to be a problem to wait here. It's just past two o'clock, and there are still several hours until dark."
It doesn't matter if it's Chou Chou, it's the same everywhere anyway, and they didn't salute. Except for the little leopard and the horse, they were all put in the space, so they traveled lightly wherever they went.
After that, Qingyan put out the wormwood, lit it again when she came back, and wandered into the forest with the animals, the horse, and the leopard.
This is a deep mountain, and if Chou Chou hadn't released his pressure to suppress him, there would have been many ferocious beasts.
But there are also disadvantages. Although there is no danger of wild beast attacks, there is no chance to see real wild beasts.
As she walked, Qingyan said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, do you think we might encounter ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or something like this in these deep mountains and old forests?"
Chou Chou nodded to her, "It's possible that the mountains are rarely visited now. Those precious medicinal materials should be rarely excavated, and the growing environment has not been damaged. They should be able to find them."
Qingyan asked curiously: "There are many mountains and forests in later generations, but it doesn't mean that ginseng grows on every mountain. Otherwise, why would wild ginseng be so valuable? It's because it is rare and regional. Most of it grows in Over in the Northeast, I haven’t heard of anyone seeing one around here, what do you think is the reason for this?”
"What's the reason? It's human. With more and more people, many places have destroyed forests and planted food or cash crops. Even if we later realize that converting farmland into forests, many environments and species cannot be reproduced. Even if Yes, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation.
What's more, everyone knows that ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and the like are good and valuable, and they will dig them up whenever they come across them. There are even many people who specialize in this, and in the end, what is left is not only in inaccessible places.
Also, people have made myths about these things. They are not spiritual plants. They do not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life as said on TV or in the Internet. At most, they are more effective and have more nutrients, which can nourish the body. That’s all. "
"Then...then when we meet, should we dig or not?"
Qingyan blinked, a little embarrassed to do anything after being told by Chou Chou.
"If it's old, you can dig it up. It has medicinal value. If it's young, forget about it and let it grow longer. It's a pity to dig it up."
After Chou Chou finished speaking, he pointed to a place on the ground and said, "There is a Polygonum multiflorum tree there that is about hundreds of years old. Do you want to dig it out yourself or should I use my spiritual consciousness to get it out for you?"
Qingyan's eyes shone, "You do it, you do it! I don't know how to dig. If it breaks, it will be wasted."
Chou Chou glanced at her, jumped off her shoulder, and walked around nearby. After a while, there were three more Polygonum multiflorums with human shapes under Qingyan's feet, and a carrot-sized ginseng with a With green leaves.
Qingyan knelt down, stretched out her hand and touched it carefully, fearing that her hand would be too heavy and break the whiskers on the ginseng.
He said to Chou Chou: "Does this need to be concocted so that it can be played for a longer time?"
Chou Chou turned back and looked at her eagerly.
Qingyan immediately found that she was confused again and forgot that Chou Chou's space could be kept fresh.
He smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, I forgot about Chou Chou. There is no need to worry about this at all. Hurry up and put it away quickly. Otherwise, the water will be lost and it will become stale."
Chou Chou withdrew his little eyes and collected all the medicinal materials on the ground into his own space.
In fact, there are many other medicinal materials in this forest, and they are quite old, but they are relatively common and there is no need to collect them.
This ginseng and fleece-flower root can be kept for yourself to nourish the body, or you can give them as gifts, which are more valuable than those.
They didn't go too far and just wandered around in the forest near the village. If they went too far, they would waste time when they came back.
And since the cottage has chosen to be built here, it must be the most suitable place. Firstly, the location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Secondly, there are water sources around here. Where there are water sources, there are animals. You will not go hungry by hunting. There are even many wild fruit trees.
They soon discovered a very thick peach tree that seemed to be old, and some of the peaches on it were already ripe.
The peaches on this tree are not like those found before. Those peaches are darker in color and have very long hairs. They look a bit dirty.
This peach has less hair, is larger and lighter in color, with only a little pink on the top, just like the fairy peach on TV. Of course, it is not that ridiculously big, only the size of an adult man's fist.
Qingyan reached out and picked one, let Chouchou wash it with some water, and took a bite to taste it first.
Um! Crisp and sweet! And after breaking it open, the core and pulp are separated.
He quickly asked Chou Chou to take out the two baskets he had bought before, and one person and one animal began to jump up and down to pick peaches, using his spiritual sense to reach the treetops that were out of reach.
In fact, Chou Chou can be picked directly with spiritual consciousness. They don’t want to miss the fun of picking, and they still feel a sense of accomplishment by doing it themselves.
The two picked all the ripe peaches and put them in the basket. Because the peach tree was so big, it took them more than an hour to pick all the peaches.
These were picked when they were ripe, and there were still many unripe fruits hanging on the trees.
While Qingyan was eating the second peach, she regretfully said to Chou Chou: "When will your space be able to be planted like Xiangxiang? Then we can transplant this peach tree into the space. You can eat whatever you want from now on.”
There are also peach trees in Xiangxiang Space, but the smell is not as good as this one, and it is still watered with spiritual spring water.
The peach trees in Xiangxiang Space are yellow peaches that my grandfather brought from the south in the early years, so the sweetness is really not as good as this one. Even if it has been improved, they can at most make yellow peaches or dry them and eat them, rarely Eat it directly.
Chou Chou is also a little regretful. It also likes to eat delicious food. Although its space can keep freshness, this plant cannot survive when it is put in. It is like an animal. It will die immediately after being put in. I can only regret it. give up.
However, they had picked so many peaches, and they all had peach pits. The ones they had just eaten had kept the pits, and they had not put them into the space. Instead, they had put them directly in Qingyan's satchel. Planting.
I'm afraid that even the peach cores won't be able to bud if I put them in the space, so I'll take them back for nothing.
Then they discovered a very large wild grape vine. However, the grape had just blossomed and had only a few rice-sized fruits on the top. It would take a month to mature. The grapes were generally mature. All around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Later, I discovered several other fruit trees, including plums, apricots, apples and pears. The top of the apple tree may have received more sunlight, and some of the apples were already a little red.
Because neither of them could get up to the top of the tree, Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to pick it off.
One person and one beast each took one and tasted it. Although it was still a little sour, it was also somewhat sweet and could be eaten.
Qingyan handed one to the horse's mouth. The horse opened its mouth and bit it. After chewing it twice, it spit it out.
Qingyan patted its head in a funny way, "You are quite picky. You won't eat anything if it doesn't taste good."
Seeing it snoring and lowering its head to eat the tender grass on the ground, Qingyan ignored it and said to Chou Chou: "I can't blame those people for building a cottage here. The location here is really good and there is water." , and there are so many fruit trees, maybe we don’t know about medicinal materials, otherwise the Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng won’t be our turn.”
Chou Chou retorted: "Even if there are people who know about medicinal materials, they may not be able to find them. These things do not grow in conspicuous places. If I hadn't used my spiritual sense to detect them, we might not be able to find them, so it is very difficult to keep them." normal."
Qingyan was not angry after being criticized by this guy Chou Chou again. Who could let what he said make sense.
They walked all over the south, east and west sides of the stockade and walked back without going anywhere else.
They won't go to the north. Although they are not afraid, they are still a little taboo. There are so many bones piled there, and they almost have trypophobia just thinking about it.
On the way back, Qingyan picked up a few more nests of wild eggs, pheasants, and wild rabbits, but she didn't see them. They must have been driven away by Chou Chou's pressure.
The meals they pack in the restaurant all contain meat, and they don’t need to hunt and barbecue themselves, so it doesn’t matter whether they have these or not.
I saw these wild eggs and thought it would be a pity not to pick them up. It’s not that I want to eat them, I just like to keep them.
They walked to the pool and asked Chou Chou to take out the wooden basin and wash his face with a basin of water.
The water looked quite clear, and Chou Chou said there were fish in it. They were quite big at the bottom of the pool.
They weren't too interested, so they didn't catch him.
He poured out the water in the wooden basin, scooped out another basin of water, and let the horse drink some.
I was so busy letting it eat grass that I forgot to give it water.
After the horses were full, they returned to the stockade.
I entered the previous room and lit the mugwort braids again. It was already past five o'clock and almost six o'clock, so I ate dinner while it was still light.
Because I went out for a walk and was too lazy to move after eating, I spread a piece of plastic sheet on the bed, then a blanket, and lay down on the bed, ready to rest for a while.
Chou Chou and Little Leopard also lay beside her, preparing to wait quietly for the time to leave.
Maybe it was because I went out for a while and fell asleep unconsciously while lying down.
When I woke up again, I woke up from hunger. It was completely dark outside. It was a full moon today, so I was not blind.
Qingyan took out the flashlight and turned it on. The room suddenly lit up. She looked at the watch on her wrist. It's already eight o'clock in the evening. I can't blame it for being so dark and the moon has risen.
"Chou Chou, what time do we leave?"
Chou Chou also got up in confusion, rubbed his eyes and replied: "When the moon rises in the sky."
Qingyan: "..."
If you don’t understand, ask, “When the moon rises in the sky, what time is it?”
"About nine or ten o'clock."
There was one thing that Chou Chou didn't say, for fear that Qingyan would be upset. Today is the Ghost Festival on July 15th, which is also the Ghost Festival. They were originally in the mountains, and there was a corpse pit not far away, so it was gone. carry.
Qingyan nodded, "It won't be long, it's only an hour at most, so just wait."
They cleaned up, drank a glass of water and ate a peach.
Qingyan really didn't think that much. Although she knew about some solar terms and festivals, because she was young, the adults in the family would not take her to the grave during ghost festivals, so she didn't know much about it, so she didn't think about it.
The wormwood has been burned. Maybe the smell of wormwood still remains in the house, but no mosquitoes have come in.
The flashlight was on and was not turned off. There was no need to save the battery when we were going back anyway.
"When we go back, I don't know if our parents will beat us."
Qingyan put her chin on her hand and said worriedly.
"..."
Chou Chou wanted to say that she was not afraid, it was protecting her, but when she thought that Xiangxiang's guy might take care of it, it became silent.
As the light of the flashlight becomes weaker and weaker, it means that the power is about to run out, and the moon slowly rises into the sky, and the time is up.
Following Chou Chou out of the house, he stood in the yard. He didn't know what Chou Chou did. Just from the light of the flashlight, which was no longer too strong, the surrounding space seemed to be slowly distorting.
Soon a rapidly rotating black hole appeared in front of them, which could allow two adults to pass through at the same time. There was a wall there before, but now it has disappeared.
Qingyan ran to the window, led the horse over, Chou Chou jumped on her shoulders, and then walked into the black hole together...
