Chapter 20: Going into the mountains to hunt

"Sister Qianqian, Sister Qianqian." Just as Mother An took the sweater out to knit, she heard the voices of Gou Wa and the others outside.

An Qianqian came out of the kitchen and saw Gou Wa and the other four. "Hey, it's so cold, what are you doing out here?"

The four of them were all wearing cotton-padded coats and hats, leaving only their faces exposed.

All his hands are in his pockets.

"Sister Qianqian, let's go into the mountains to hunt game." Winter is here, and many animals in the mountains have been frozen to death. It would be better to pick them up than to hunt them.

An Qianqian didn't want to go at first, but seeing the four people, she was happy to play with them.

There are few people of the same age in the village, and most of them go out to work, so it is not easy for her to find a playmate.

Humans are social animals and it is impossible for them to live their whole lives alone.

"Then you wait for me." She had to wear more clothes before going out, otherwise she would be frozen to death if the wind blew.

After changing clothes, An Qianqian wrapped herself up like a bear.

"Let's go."

This time, they planned to go deeper into the mountains. If they were lucky, they might be able to pick up some more frozen animals.

Of course, the deep mountains here refer only to places that the villagers have been to.

They don't have the courage to go to the deep mountains where no one has ever been.

An Qianqian talked to her mother, saying that she and Gou Wa and the others were going out to play. After her mother agreed, the five of them walked into the mountains.

There are treasures in the mountains, this is absolutely true.

In forests like this where there are fewer people, there are many wild medicinal herbs grown in the mountains.

She is not very talented, but she knows some of the medicinal herbs she has taken.

Because she was going to eat the herbs herself, she listened carefully to the doctor's explanation of the herbs' appearance, growth environment, etc.

With the help of some dogs, An Qianqian avoided many detours.

After entering the mountains, the four began to prepare.

They brought some rice, corn and other things, and seemed to be well prepared.

"Wow, that's good. You have prepared everything." Looking at them setting the trap, An Qianqian praised them.

The four were so happy to be praised: "Qianqian, just wait and see, we will definitely have a great harvest today." After spending some time together, Xingzi also became active.

An Qianqian gave them a thumbs up and said, "Okay, I'll wait to eat today." She said that, but she would not really eat the four children.

She put on her backpack and looked around. The forest was not very dense and there were few people around. There was no big danger for them.

Now that she's here, of course she has to reap the harvest.

"Gou Wa, you guys stay here and don't run around. I'll go over there and take a look." An Qianqian said, pointing to a deep valley not far away.

Gou Wa took a look and saw that it was a deep water bend with few animals in it and even fewer flat lands. However, it was quite safe there, so Qianqian could go if she wanted to.

"Okay, Sister Qianqian, don't go too far. If you pass the deep water bend, there will be the Yuanxing Forest." Many people in the village have been to the mountains, and everyone knows where it is safe and where it is unsafe in the mountains.

Passed down from generation to generation.

"Okay, I won't go far. I'll go look for some wild medicinal herbs." The terrain here is pretty good, and there are medicinal herbs, but they are covered with heavy snow, so it's a bit troublesome to find them.

Besides, they were catching wild animals here, so it was not convenient for her to dig through the snow.

An Qianqian looked in the direction Gou Wa's hand was and nodded: "Yes, I'll remember that."

After leaving the children, An Qianqian looked back every few steps, feeling a little worried.

Seeing that they were still concentrating on digging the trap, she smiled, shook her head and left.

After walking across the flat ground, you will enter low grass.

The grass was all covered with heavy snow. An Qianqian was holding a stick in her hand, tapping it in the snow as she moved forward.

When she came to the deep water bend of Gou Wa's mouth, she thought she would see mountain spring water, but it was mostly surrounded by rocks.

Lives up to the name.

However, this kind of place is the easiest place to grow Rehmannia root. Although it is a little difficult to pick, Rehmannia root is valuable.

Rehmannia root is mainly used to treat diseases such as blood stasis and bone marrow filling. Of course, its most famous medicinal effect is to nourish the kidneys.

This medicinal material is sold by kilogram, and generally one plant of Rehmannia glutinosa can produce a large amount of it.

The wild one is not as effective as the cultivated one, and its medicinal effect is more powerful.

After looking around and digging through the snow, An Qianqian found the Rehmannia root growing in a row.

He took out the small hoe from the backpack and started digging bit by bit.

If you dig all of this out, I'm afraid there would be about twenty pounds.

Of course, she wouldn't dig them all up. The useful parts of the Rehmannia are the roots, so she took away the big ones and left the small ones to grow there.

In a few years, maybe we can publish more.

Gou Wa and the others are waiting here, but An Qianqian is having a good harvest.

The medicinal herbs appear in pieces.

Not far from where she discovered Rehmannia, she found other medicinal herbs.

After digging the Rehmannia, move away immediately.

Unconsciously, she went deeper and deeper.

Just then, an unknown snake was startled.

It ran out from a pile of rotten leaves and raised its head slightly towards An Qianqian.

Looks like he's about to attack.

An Qianqian was shocked, mainly because a snake appeared unexpectedly and she was definitely scared.

With a cry of "ah", she stepped back and squatted on her butt, which was not good.

The man slid directly down the slope.

The woods here were small, and the rotten leaves were covered with snow. She fell down the slope in an instant.

This place is quite far from Gou Wa and the others, so even her screams could not alarm them.

An Qianqian was in a terrible state after falling down, because when she slid down, she touched something and her thick cotton pants were torn.

The blood flowed out through the cotton pants.

She wanted to get up, but found that her foot was not only injured, but also sprained.

"Oh my god, luckily the snake didn't come down." An Qianqian raised her head and looked upwards. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the snake coming down, but the pain still made her cry out.

After checking the wound, she immediately washed away the sadness with the water from the Golden Finger.

After a while, the bleeding from the wound stopped obviously.

She shivered when the cold wind blew.

The slope above was a bit shaky, and she couldn't get up for a while.

But she was afraid of the snake, so she could only move by dragging her injured leg.

Fortunately, there is no damage from the snow here, otherwise it would be a real hassle to move anywhere.

An Qianqian finally settled down under a larger tree.

She just hoped that Gou Wa and the others would notice that she was missing sooner.

After cleaning the wound, An Qianqian began to observe the surroundings.

I don’t know if it’s luck.

She found that there seemed to be a ginseng sitting under her butt.

She is familiar with this thing.

She had a good life in her previous life, so she ate a lot of food, both fresh and cooked.

I am not unfamiliar with ginseng trees.

She moved her hips again and smiled: "It seems that I am lucky."

Digging ginseng was a bit troublesome, and she had no tools at hand, so she was a little overwhelmed.

Frozen ground cannot be dug up with a stick.

Don’t stop voting. I’m going to mail the contract express today. Investors need to speed up the process. Thank you everyone.
