Chapter 149 Wild Ginseng

"Sister Song, can we really use this to hunt pheasants?"

Song Wei: "You can't do it, you need to practice."

"Then Sister Song, can you teach me?"

"Sure. Or you can ask your brother to teach you at home. He should be able to do it."

Two footprints, one big and one small, were left on the snow as the two chatted and walked deeper into the mountains.

Song Wei was observing the surroundings, hoping to find footprints of pheasants or rabbits.

"Sister Song, there are little red fruits over there."

The small red fruits appearing against the white snow are very eye-catching.

Song Wei was originally observing the surroundings to see if there were any footprints of wild animals, and looked in the direction that Heidan pointed.

“It seems to be Schisandra chinensis.”

The red fruit looks like a bunch of small grapes, and it is also a Chinese herbal medicine that the hospital requires.

She took the black eggs over and picked them and put them in a smaller bag.

There were less than three taels in total, and this was not dried yet. Although it was a little less, she did not waste it.

After picking the Schisandra chinensis, continue walking in this direction.

About ten minutes later, she heard the sound of flapping wings.

Song Wei's eyes lit up, and he made a gesture to Heidan to keep quiet, then quietly led him towards the direction where the sound came from.

Her movements were very gentle, and the fact that she was holding Heidan did not affect her actions.

Finally, he came under a tree and put the black egg down.

One big and one small, both poked their heads out from behind the tree and looked ahead.

The cackling of pheasants was unusually clear at this moment.

Fortunately, she met him.

And there are two of them.

I don't know why the noobs are fighting with each other.

The pheasant's feathers are very beautiful, especially the two roosters, which have long tail feathers trailing behind their buttocks.

They flapped their wings, briefly flew into the air, and pecked and scratched at each other.

Song Wei would not miss this opportunity and immediately took out the stones and slingshot he had prepared.

She aimed at one of the pheasants, and at this moment she looked serious and earnest, as if she was holding a gun in her hand.

With a whoosh, the stone flew out and hit one of the pheasants at an extremely fast speed.

With a click, the pheasant that was hit by the stone twisted its neck and fell limply into the snow.

The other pheasant was frightened and spread its wings and tried to fly away.

But another stone followed, and the pheasant, which flew less than two meters away, fell straight to the ground.

"Hit it, two pheasants!"

Heidan was so happy that he had been holding his breath for fear of scaring the two pheasants away, but now he was so excited that he was shouting and jumping.

"Go pick it up."

Heidan rushed out immediately, walking in the snow with his short legs, grunting. He came back with two pheasants on his red face.

It's still early now, and Song Wei plans to look around to see if there is anything else.

She didn't worry too much. With two pheasants, she was not in a hurry. At least she had the meat to treat her brother.

"Sister Song also has red fruits, but they seem different from the ones we picked before."

After finding a few more Schisandra chinensis plants, Song Wei now had one kilogram of Schisandra chinensis in his bag.

Looking up at the place where Heidan said, Song Wei's eyes widened the next second.

“That’s not Schisandra.”

She trotted over with Heidan, staring at the herb with red fruits and identifying it.

The leaves are in the shape of five fingers spread out, and there are quite a few leaves on this plant.

The small red oval fruits growing from the middle of the leaves clearly indicate the identity of this plant.

Wild ginseng.

She smiled, her eyes sparkling, "Heidan, we are so lucky today."

She has always known that there is wild ginseng in the mountains here, but wild ginseng has had a special status in traditional Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present, and its price has remained high.

The older the wild ginseng is, the more expensive it is.

Even ordinary uneducated villagers know about the famous wild ginseng.

Therefore, it is impossible to find wild ginseng in places where people frequently go in and out of the mountains.

Some of them have already been discovered and dug up.

There must be wild ginseng in deeper places, but she had never encountered it before in her several visits to the mountain, although she had come across quite a few other herbs.

I didn't expect to be so lucky today and actually encountered one.

Her eyes lit up, and she squatted on the ground and began to use a knife to dig away the snow and dirt around her.

Later, I used branches to dig it up little by little.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She only knew that this thing was wild ginseng, but she couldn't identify the year of it.

But since I have come across it, of course I have to take it away.

"It's going to take me a little long to dig, so you can play around on your own but don't stray too far."

Even a tiny ginseng root can nourish the body. When digging, you must be careful not to break any of the roots. The better the quality, the more expensive it is.

She was also patient and controlled her strength to dig the soil bit by bit with the branch.

Fortunately, the soil is relatively soft, so as long as you are careful, you won’t break the ginseng roots.

Heidan originally wanted to help, but seeing how cautious Sister Song was, he was afraid that he might not be able to do it well, so he squatted beside her and watched helplessly.

Song Wei stopped what he was doing, patted the dirt off his hands, washed them with snow, and then grabbed a few handfuls of roasted nuts from his pocket.

Take out some pine nut candy.

She also ate some herself. The pine nut candy was sweet and had the unique aroma of pine nuts. It was crunchy and delicious.

"If you don't want to play, just eat something to kill time."

Heidan nodded obediently. Seeing that Sister Song was busy again, he sat on the backpack and peeled nuts.

After peeling them, eat one and keep two.

The ones left behind are for Sister Song.

He also spread out a handkerchief in a clean place before putting the peeled nuts on it.

The big and the small were both busy with their own things and didn't notice a nimble squirrel running towards them.

If Song Wei saw it, he would definitely find it familiar.

That’s right, this squirrel was the one whose food nest she had robbed before.

As luck would have it, there was also a food nest here that it remembered. It ran over with its mouth full of nuts and unexpectedly smelled a familiar fragrance.

It was the delicious nuts that the big two-legged beast had given him that day! The squirrel followed the smell and ran over. He climbed up the tree, stood up, and twitched his nose, and found the two two-legged beasts.

There is one that it is familiar with, and another small one.

And the fragrance came from the little two-legged beast.

The squirrel's tail was twitching, and it was lying close to the black egg, twitching its big fluffy tail.

Heidan, who was carefully shelling nuts, was suddenly hit by something.

It's a snowball.

He looked up but saw nothing. He thought it was just snow falling from the trees and didn't take it seriously.

continue.

A few seconds later it was hit again.

Heidan looked up: "Strange, why did it fall on me?"

When he was hit for the fifth time, he got angry.

He moved to another place with the nuts and the backpack in his arms.

The peeled nuts were still there, and he planned to get them after moving the others.
