They picked a large bunch of goat milk fruit, cut several large branches, carried them on their backs, and then went home.
Both children, including Qiaoyun, love to eat goat milk fruit.
Last time, the sand apricots were divided among the three of them; no one else got any.
There are plenty of wild fruits now, and not only Nini and the others are eating them, but Hexiang and Qianniu are also eating them. Anyway, they'll pick more after they've finished eating.
Peppa is the most frugal and thrifty person. Even though she has already eaten a lot outside, she still patiently stands aside, waiting for everyone to throw out the fruits that are not ripe, not pretty, or have been pecked by birds or gnawed by insects. She then picks them all up and eats them all, not letting a single one go.
After catching the crabs, Jiang Zhi checked Xu Dazhu's back injury again.
More than three years have passed since Xu Dazhu started consuming various medicinal herbs after going up the mountain, and his body has regained the muscle mass of a normal man.
They can sit steadily and stand while holding onto specially trained wooden railings, but they cannot walk.
But everyone is hopeful for recovery, and even if they can't walk, it's still a satisfactory result for everyone.
Jiang Zhi crushed the crab, mixed it with herbs, and applied it to Xu Dazhu's waist. Then she turned around and instructed Chunfeng: "Today, boil ox knee root, calf rib grass, and golden bark rhizome for Dazhu to take."
Chunfeng nodded: "I've been feeding Brother Zhuzi dog spine these past few days, and he feels much better."
Fortunately, there are these mountains where we can gather medicinal herbs, and no one cares if we dig up golden bark.
Among these herbs, Calf's Rib Grass, also known as Muscle-Relaxing Grass, is used for joint stiffness and paralysis.
Golden Retriever's spine nourishes the liver and kidneys and strengthens muscles and bones, while Achyranthes bidentata is special.
Achyranthes bidentata, its root is used medicinally, both raw and processed with wine. The wine-processed method involves spraying it with white wine, letting it sit briefly, then stir-frying it over low heat until slightly dry, which enhances its blood-activating properties.
Like other blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs, Achyranthes bidentata can treat rheumatoid arthritis and sprains.
It also acts as a guiding medicine, like a navigation system that leads the way, bringing all the medicinal effects of the formula to the designated location.
In addition to the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs, traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions also include guiding herbs.
Achyranthes bidentata guides the medicine downwards, and it governs the area below the navel. In addition to treating common diseases, it is also a guiding herb for male urological medications.
Achyranthes bidentata is further divided into Sichuan Achyranthes bidentata and Huai Achyranthes bidentata, which have significant differences in their specific effects.
Achyranthes bidentata originates from Tianquan County, Sichuan Province. It has a strong blood-breaking effect and potent medicinal properties. It cannot be used by those with weak constitution or deficiency of vital energy. It is a medicinal herb.
Huai Niu Xi (賩膝) originates from Huaiqing Prefecture, Jiaozuo, Henan Province. It is primarily used to nourish the liver and kidneys and is considered a medicinal herb.
The guiding herb for brain diseases is Chuanxiong (Ligusticum striatum), which is also a specialty of Sichuan.
Now that Xu Dazhu's physical condition has recovered, he can start taking strong medicine.
Jiang Zhi stayed on the mountain, and not only did Peiqi pester her, but Nini and Caixia also clung to her: "Grandma, tell us another story about the monkey trying to catch the moon!"
As someone who frequently travels to and from the county town, Jiang Zhi no longer hides the fact that she can read. When asked, she says that she learned it herself by listening to others at the county government office.
No one doubted this; Errui, Qiaoyun, and Chunfeng didn't dare to mention it at all.
The group believed that Jiang Zhi was exceptionally gifted, and that no matter how hard they tried, they could never surpass her.
Jiang Zhi could teach the children whatever she wanted, to read, write, and tell stories. As soon as she got home, everyone, young and old, would gather around, making the two families very lively.
Only five days later, Xiaoman returned with the old mule that evening, reminding her that it was time to go down the mountain again.
"Auntie, the two kinds of medicine are ready and can be sent to the county government office."
"So fast?" Jiang Zhi was surprised, as she had expected it would take another three days.
Xiaoman said that with members of the Ma family involved in the pharmaceutical production, output has doubled in the past few days.
However, Xiaoman has also lost weight. She was fattened up by the Tian family after her injury, but now she is lean again.
Because the Ma family had just learned how to brew medicine, Tian Tao and Xiao Man dared not relax.
Xu Genqing and Wu Yang could take turns on duty, so Xiao Man and the other two stayed by their side for five days straight, keeping the fire burning day and night, shortening the expected eight days to five.

Muscle-relaxing herb, also known as calf rib grass, when stewed with red hemp and red achyranthes root (Sichuan) and beef, is used to treat hemiplegia.
Climbing ginger, also known as bone-strengthening ginger or golden-haired dog spine, is used to warm and tonify kidney yang. Its distinctive feature is a layer of yellow hair covering its roots.
