Is it pretty?

"It's beautiful." The girlish question made Yu Wanwan both laugh and cry.

The witch doctor took out the vines from the bag and then put the purple gromwell root that he had brought for Yu Wanwan inside.

He has been bringing some purple gromwell root over every day for Yu Wanwan to take, but Yu Wanwan feels that she doesn't need it for the time being, so she has been keeping it untouched.

The wicker bag had no support points, and the fragile herbs carried on his back were immediately crushed. The witch doctor had no choice but to take the herbs out, looking distressed and regretful: "It seems I can't use it to carry herbs anymore."

He had originally thought that having a rattan bag would make it easier for him to pick more herbs, but now it seems that won't work.

Yu Wanwan said, "If only we had bamboo, we could weave bamboo baskets and they wouldn't get crushed."

The shaman became interested and asked, "What are the bamboo and bamboo basket?"

"It's a green tree with segments, a hollow plant inside. The bamboo basket is made of bamboo." Yu Wanwan gestured, "When the time comes, we'll cut the bamboo into pieces and weave them into baskets. We can carry them on our backs; they're very lightweight and won't damage the herbs."

If you have bamboo, you can not only try weaving bamboo baskets, but also cook bamboo rice. In early spring, you might even be able to pick bamboo shoots to eat.

Thinking of the sweet and delicious bamboo rice and crisp bamboo shoots, filled with the fragrance of bamboo, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but swallow.

“A tree segmented into sections…” The witch doctor carefully recalled this characteristic, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, “Are you talking about hollow wood!”

"Hollow wood?" Yu Wanwan had no idea what hollow wood was, but it did sound somewhat like bamboo.

She nodded.

The witch doctor was even more delighted and grabbed Yu Wanwan's wrist, ready to lead her out: "I know, there are some on the slope behind the mountain! Let's go take a look!"
