Shui Bingyue walked over quickly, used a shovel to push away the soil around the bare yellow bud column, and pulled out a piece of ginger-like thing. This was Gastrodia elata.
It can cure epilepsy, convulsions, dizziness, numbness of limbs, rheumatism, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Gastrodia elata can be used to stew soup, make tea or wine. Different methods of consumption have different effects.
The three brothers gathered around to help the little girl. Xiao Qi was the first to speak: "Bingyue, how can we find it?"
"It's like the kind with only the yellow bud pillars exposed, but you have to tap the surrounding area with a stick before digging. Because there are snakes around Gastrodia elata."
Xiaoliu sighed with emotion: "I've only seen it in books, but today I saw it for real. I don't know as much as my sister."
Shui Bingyue was a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly explained: "I often go up the mountain and always pick up some strange things. I will ask Wangcun doctor and I will know more."
The four people dug together and soon dug out the small piece of gastrodia elata. The little girl's basket was half full.
Then everyone continued to move forward, taking the familiar places before. There was no intention to develop new maps, because new represents danger and unknown.
I actually hunted some small game again, and I estimated the time and felt that it was time to go back now, and I could still make it home in time for lunch.
It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, so the four brothers and sisters chose another relatively stable road to go down the mountain. Then while passing by a deep pit, a faint moaning sound was heard.
Several people walked over and took a look. There was a man lying in the pit with his face covered in blood. It was quite scary.
After Shui Bingyue went through it and observed carefully, she found that this man was young and probably not a local. He didn't know how he got to this deep mountain.
She turned to discuss with Shui Jianren: "Fifth brother, tie me with a hemp rope and let me down. I will briefly treat his wounds."
Xiaoliu spoke: "Let me go, it's not safe for a little girl like you."
The three brothers did not speak rashly before, they were just waiting for Bingyue to speak. Although saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, it still depends on whether the person is worth saving.
In this way, Shui Jianren agreed to Xiao Liu's suggestion, and he and Xiao Qi pulled the hemp rope to let him down.
Xiaoliu first used the water bag he brought with him to clean the blood off his face. When he found a wound on his forehead, he applied the hemostatic medicine he brought with him.
Then he carefully inspected other parts of his body. Except for the fracture of his right leg, there were no major problems elsewhere.
When Xiao Liu was about to get up, the injured man suddenly grabbed his hand and held it tightly, saying in a hoarse voice: "Help me."
"Don't worry, I just asked someone to help pull you up, not to leave you behind." After Xiao Liu said this, the injured person fainted with relief.
Xiao Liu tied the hemp rope to the waist of the injured person and asked Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi to pull the person up.
After Xiaoliu went up, he handed his basket to Fifth Brother, and he carried the injured down the mountain.
After several people arrived home, Liu Xuemei was shocked when she saw Xiao Liu carrying someone on her back: "What's going on?"
Shui Bingyue quickly explained: "We found him in a deep ditch on the mountain, so we rescued him together."
"Okay, let's put people in the house quickly. Eat first, and after dinner, invite your uncle Wang to come over and show him."
"Okay, I got it." Xiao Liu put the injured person in the guest room at home, helped him take off his dirty coat, and tucked him into the bed.
I went back to my room and changed into clean clothes before going out to eat.
When the old lady saw the children in place, she said curiously: "Why do you guys like to pick up people so much? Your eldest brother just picked up a girl back then. What is it this time?"
"He's a young man about the same age as us. He looks like he's someone who goes up mountains." Xiaoliu answered truthfully.
After all, the injured man had been wearing a valuable woolen coat since he was young, and his belt was also made of genuine leather. Most children in the village are not dressed like this.
After eating, Xiao Qi ran to invite Doctor Wangcun, and Xiao Liu followed him in to see how he diagnosed the pulse.
I heard Dr. Wangcun say: "After all, he is young and wears thick clothes. Apart from the obvious head trauma and a slight leg fracture, there are no other major problems.
I prescribed him several decoctions to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but he mainly relied on nourishment. "
"Then I'll go get the medicine with you." Xiao Liu took the initiative. After all, he was very interested in becoming a doctor. Just want to know more about it.
Xiao Qi was watching the man they rescued from the kang. He looked quite good-looking, but he had lost too much blood and seemed not that energetic.
Suddenly, the injured man opened his eyes and stared at the beams for a long time before he noticed a young boy beside him.
He said dryly: "You saved me, thank you."
"You're welcome. Are you hungry? Can I bring you something to eat?"
"Okay, please."
Xiao Qi turned around and went to the kitchen. There were several poached eggs in the pot. He put them into a bowl and put some malted milk in it before serving it to the injured person.
Seeing that the injured person was too weak, he helped him sit up against the wall and fed him. After eating a bowl of poached eggs, he finally gained strength.
"My name is Wang Xiaoran, I am fifteen years old. Where are you?"
"Didn't you come here by yourself?" Xiao Qi was very confused.
Wang Xiaoran shook his head: "I was going to visit my grandma's house, but the driver threw me into the mountains. I really don't know where I am."
"This is Qingshui Village, Lianhua Township, Northeast China."
"My grandma's family is in Western Province. Although there is also a Lotus Township, it is not the same place at all."
"Then do you have a phone at home? You can call them to pick you up." Xiao Qi suggested.
Wang Xiaoran shook his head: "The driver dared to treat me like this, which means that it is no longer safe at home. If I go back, I will fall into a pit of fire. Can I recover from my injuries here and go directly to my grandma's house?"
Liu Xuemei came in from outside and said happily: "You're awake, how do you feel?"
"This is my mother." Xiao Qi introduced Wang Xiaoran.
"Hello, aunt, I've caused trouble for you."
Liu Xuemei waved her hand: "We are destined to meet each other. Anxin is here to recover from his injuries. Let's wait until his injuries are healed before we talk about anything else. Are you full? If not, I'll make some for you."
"No, I'm full. Thank you very much. I've been lying in the mountains for three days. I had a fever in the middle, and I thought I was going to die."
"Then you need to rest more, and we won't disturb you anymore." Liu Xuemei pulled Xiao Qi out of the guest room.
Wang Xiaoran then lay down peacefully. The mistress of the house had said so, so he could rest peacefully and recover from his injuries.
Two days later, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu both went to the commune school to study, leaving only Xiaoqi, Bingyue and Bokang at home. Several people became familiar with Wang Xiaoran.
