This is Chu Yuezi's sixth day in the village.

At noon, deep in the mountains.

Under the guidance of Zhao Dahu, Chu Yue walked into the mountains she had never entered before and saw scenery and trees she had never seen before. At the same time, she gained a lot. Many of the medicinal herbs recorded by Doctor Zhou were growing in the deep mountains in the southwest.

Chu Yue picked them one by one, put some in a bamboo backpack, and put some with the soil into the spiritual treasure space.

The environment in Lingbao Space is special. With the blessing of spiritual fields and spiritual springs, any animal or plant can grow and survive freely.

From one herb to a patch of herbs, as long as Chu Yue reproduces slowly, she will have a whole medicine garden in the future and will never be short of herbs.

It’s a pity that they walked too far and never saw the gentian they longed for the most.

"Doctor Xiao Chu, can you continue walking?" Zhao Dahu was leading the way. He was not alone, but Zhao Xiaohua was placed in the bamboo backpack on his back.

He was worried about leaving Zhao Xiaohua alone at home, so he kept her with him. He was also afraid that Zhao Xiaohua would get tired from climbing the mountain, so he let her sit in the backpack.

Zhao Dahu is very strong and he doesn't feel tired even when climbing the mountain with a baby on his back.

The brother and sister turned around together and looked at Chu Yue worriedly.

After all, Chu Yue looked delicate and weak, and as pretty as a city girl, not someone who had the strength to climb a mountain.

They walked for the whole morning, and even Chu Yue was a little exhausted, and it was time for lunch.

Chu Yue said, "Da Hu, find a place to rest and we'll sit down to eat."

"good."

Zhao Dahu walked up the mountain for a while and found a flat place with a big rock. He put Zhao Xiaohua down, cleaned the rock, and asked Chu Yue to sit over.

Chu Yue took out the eggs, steamed buns and bacon that the villagers had given her a few days ago, and then Zhao Dahu built a bonfire and they roasted them and ate them.

While Zhao Dahu was busy heating up the meal, Zhao Xiaohua left for a while. When she woke up again, she was holding a bunch of red fruits in her hand and a bunch of red fruits hidden in her pocket.

She ran over happily, "Sister Xiao Chu, this is for you."

The beautiful red fruit is lei, also known as March bubble, or wild strawberry. It grows all over the mountains in the spring in the wet areas near water sources, like small hills.

The small fruits are bright red and look particularly tempting.

The fruit of the puff tree is hollow inside. Zhao Xiaohua used green, thin weeds to poke through the middle and strung the red fruits together, one by one, into a necklace, which made it more convenient to hold in the hand.

The color of raspberries is lighter than that of pomelo, the fruit is firm, and the taste is a little sourer than that of pomelo, but the sour-sweet combination is more refreshing.

Zhao Xiaohua grew up in the mountains, so she picked a lot of them in a short period of time. She held them in both hands and handed them to Chu Yue like treasures.

Chu Yue said gently, "Thank you, Xiaohua."

She ate several of them in a row. The wild fruits tasted sour and sweet, with the fragrance of spring forests, which could sweep away the fatigue in her body.

Chu Yue also fed Zhao Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, you eat too."

Zhao Xiaohua smiled happily, looking so innocent at that moment, just like the romantic nature of a five or six-year-old child.

The two of them sat together, eating wild fruits, one by one.

Chu Yue discovered that Zhao Xiaohua brought back not only wild fruits, but also several herbs.

Zhao Xiaohua said, "This is also for Sister Xiaochu."

"Xiaohua, do you know these herbs?" Chu Yue asked.

Zhao Xiaohua nodded. "This is Solanum nigrum, this is Cassia seed, and this is Zanthoxylum bungeanum. I used to come to the mountain with my eldest brother and Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa Zhou taught me that these are herbs. This one... I don't know."

She pointed to the last herb and shook her head.

That was what Chu Yue picked today. Zhao Xiaohua saw it, remembered it silently, and picked it back with them.

Chu Yue picked up the herb, "Xiaohua, this herb is called Polygonum multiflorum. Polygonum multiflorum can make our hair black and shiny, but the useful part of Polygonum multiflorum is the root. It's useless to pick the leaves. You have to dig underneath it. Remember?"

Zhao Xiaohua said loudly, "Sister Xiaochu, I remember it."

Chu Yue touched her head and said, "Just remember it. When you dig herbs, dry them, and sell them to me, I will give you money."

Zhao Xiaohua asked, "Is this a business? Can I make money too?"

"That's right, Xiaohua can also make money."

When Zhao Xiaohua heard that she could also make money with her own hands, she smiled especially happily and kept saying to Chu Yue, "Little Sister Chu, eat this. This one is big and red, it must be delicious. I looked carefully when I picked it, and there were no bugs, you can eat it without worry."

She wants to give Chu Yue all the best.

On the other side, Zhao Dahu heated up the steamed buns and gave each person one steamed bun and an egg. He put a piece of bacon in the middle of the steamed bun. It was so delicious. There was also fruit to eat after the meal.

Chu Yue was still thinking about Doctor Zhou, so she said to Zhao Dahu, "Dahu, do you know where there is a spring nearby?"

"There seems to be one on the mountain next door." Zhao Dahu remembered vaguely.

Chu Yue said, "After dinner, we will go to the next mountain and then go up along the mountain spring."

Gentian likes to grow near clean water sources, so Chu Yue has to look for it according to the habits of the plant.

After quickly finishing their lunch, the three of them quickly got back on the road.

It took them half an hour to walk to the next mountain, and they found a small stream in the valley between the two mountains, and then continued upward along the stream.

The road beside the stream was winding and slippery, and not easy to walk on. Zhao Dahu walked carefully with Zhao Xiaohua on his back. Chu Yue took a piece of wood as a crutch and went up step by step.

As she walked, she looked for small blue flowers.

The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the lower the temperature became. They were not well prepared and were only wearing thin clothes. Moreover, it was almost three o'clock and it would be dark in a few hours. It would be very dangerous to go down the mountain after dark.

Zhao Dahu reminded, "Doctor Xiaochu, there is no time. We must go down the mountain now."

Chu Yue stood beside the stream, frowning unwillingly with a serious look on her face. Was she going to return empty-handed? Was she just going to have to watch Doctor Zhou walk to the end of his life?

She is not willing to give in!

There must be gentian here, there must be!

Chu Yue's inner obsession burst out strongly, perhaps affecting the connected spiritual treasure space, and suddenly a colorful white light flashed before her eyes.

This brilliant white light would only appear when Chu Yue entered the Lingbao space, and it would flash. However, she had not entered the Lingbao space at this time, and the flashing white light was just a point of light passing by.

Chu Yue walked towards the place where the white light was shining, pushed aside a layer of weeds, and then saw a bunch of blue trumpet-like flowers.

Found it!

That was the gentian she had been looking for. (Picture)
