However, she didn't intend to find out immediately. Li Zhaodi did not pose any threat to her. She had more important things to do now.
Yes, after four or five days of eating soup and water, Li Xi said that it was urgent to make money.
I saw gastrodia elata on the mountain before and should be able to pick it now. After breakfast, Li Xi put on her backpack and went up the mountain early in the morning. Madam Liu didn't want her to go, but with Li Xi's insistence, she had no choice but to Regress.
Huzi wanted to follow him when he saw this, but today he was doing business, and Li Xi didn't intend to take him with him.
"Sister, I have something serious to do. I'll take you with me next time."
Huzi has always been obedient. Although he was a little disappointed when his sister said this, he still nodded and held the door frame to watch Li Xi go up the mountain.
After entering the mountain, fresh air hit his face. Li Xi took a deep breath, and the fresh air went straight into his lungs. The only advantage of traveling to ancient times is that there is no air pollution.
Li Xi followed his memory and came to Tianma Di, put down his backpack and took out a small planing hammer.
"Start working!"
Li Xi's skill of digging medicinal materials has been practiced since he was a child. He dug out the pile of Gastrodia elata in front of him in three strokes, five divided by two, but it was only a pile, but in fact it only filled half of the basket on his back. The basket on his back was not full, so Li Xi dug out Plan to walk further inside.
Villagers often come up to cut firewood and hunt. There is no danger in the surrounding area, but Li Duo still scans the surrounding area carefully as he walks.
Suddenly, Li Xi's body suddenly froze - a golden krait.
The krait moves slowly and does not like to attack humans. It mainly feeds on small vertebrates and is highly venomous.
If a person is bitten by a krait, he will immediately experience respiratory paralysis. If he is not rescued in time, he will suffocate and die.
However, it is also a good thing. The medicinal effect of the golden krait is very strong. According to medical records, the golden krait tastes salty and is warm in nature. It enters the liver meridian and can dispel wind and activate collaterals. It can treat rheumatic paralysis, paralysis of hands and feet, swelling and pain.
Li Xi squinted and looked at the krait in front of him. It moved very slowly. It must have just woken up from hibernation. Li Xi picked up a wooden stick and approached it lightly. He narrowed his eyes and poked it hard. Its seven inches.
Within three breaths, the originally slow-moving krait stopped moving completely. Li Xi bent down to pick up the dead krait and threw it into the basket.
As the old saying goes, hit the snake seven inches. In fact, the seven inches corresponding to the snake's heart is exactly the heart of the snake, so hitting the snake seven inches actually refers to hitting the snake's heart hard.
Li Xi glanced around. The snow in the mountains had not yet melted away. At this time, the krait should not wake up from hibernation.
She recalled that her grandfather had told her before that there were some good things in the mountains, and there were often wild beasts guarding them, especially poisonous snakes.
Because animals have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans, they also know what is good for them.
Suddenly, her pupils dilated, and sure enough!
Li Xi put down his backpack and walked to a pile of snow-covered grass. He lowered his head and carefully pulled apart the surrounding grass. The green leaves were particularly charming.
It’s actually ginseng! ! !
After Li Xi carefully cleaned up the weeds around the ginseng, she then used a small wooden stick and her hands to gently dig it. She kept holding her breath during the process, for fear of accidentally breaking a beard.
It took an hour and a half until Li Xi's hands were red and stiff from the cold before he dug out the ginseng completely.
The ginseng looks quite big. Although it is not as big as a white radish, it is still larger than a carrot. Judging from its age, it should be thirty or fifty years old.
Li Xi raised his head and glanced around. He didn't expect that such a good thing could be found in this place. After all, this place is not a deep mountain. People from Lijiatun usually come to the mountain to hunt and cut firewood. Such a big ginseng plant can actually be found in this place. It has never been discovered before, which is also magical.
Without anything suitable at hand, Li Xi could only carefully wrap the ginseng in wild grass and put it into her backpack, first the krait and then the ginseng. She had harvested enough today and did not plan to go any further.
Li Xi raised his head and glanced at the sky. Looking at the sun, it should be almost ten o'clock. Go home for dinner!
Li Xi carried a basket on his back and went down the mountain. Before he reached the door of his house, he saw a little man running towards him with short legs.
"Sister, you're back!"
"Well, you're the only one at home?" Li Xi walked into the yard and took off his backpack.
"Mom went to call the village chief's house." Huzi nodded and said.
Li Xi frowned, the village chief's house?
She rubbed Huzi's head, lowered her head and asked, "Does Huzi know why mother went to the village chief's house?"
Huzi shook his head, "Huzi doesn't know, my mother asked Huzi to wait for my sister at home."
Could it be that Mrs. Li is looking for trouble again?
Thinking of this, Li Xi felt a little uneasy. If this was really the case, her mother wouldn't be able to handle that old woman with her temperament.
With this in mind, Li Xi carried the backpack into the room and pulled Huzi out of the door, "Let's go find mother."
Following the route in his memory, Li Xi arrived at the village chief's house.
The door to the village chief's house was open, and Li Xi led Hu Zi in, "Is aunt at home?"
"Who is it! Here!" A cheerful voice came from the room, and soon a woman wearing a headscarf came out.
"Da Ya, come find your mother. Come in quickly. It's very cold outside."
Before Li Xi had time to express his intention, he was pulled into the house.
Dong Fengxia looked at Li Xi with a distressed look on her face, "Good boy, are you feeling better? Your little face looks sallow. You need to take care of yourself. Girls' bodies are the most vulnerable to the cold. This big It’s cold, so don’t come out if you have nothing to do.”
Li Xi was stunned for a moment by the intense concern, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm fine now."
While they were talking, Li Xi and Hu Zi followed Dong Fengxia into the house. There was a kang burning in the house, which was quite warm.
Mrs. Liu was sitting on the edge of the kang with her head lowered. When the village chief Li Changqing heard the noise, he put down his pipe and looked at them, "Daya and Huzi, come and sit on the kang."
Li Changqing saw that although Li Xi's face was not very good, he seemed to be in good spirits, and nodded, "Da Ya is old too. Since you are here, let's listen together."
Looking at the scene inside the house, Li Xi knew that she had just left. The village chief had come to see her mother because of something else.
Li Xi picked up Huzi and sat next to Madam Liu. Madam Liu glanced at her children sitting next to her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's appearance, Li Changqing sighed inwardly. With her temperament, it was okay before Brother Tiezhu protected her, but now that Brother Tiezhu is gone, how can she survive if she still has this temperament?
"Brothers and sisters, Brother Tiezhu is gone at such a young age, and we all feel bad, but we have to look forward while we are alive, don't you think?" Dong Fengxia has a cheerful temperament, and she usually doesn't think much of it. It's Mrs. Liu's temperament.
