Chapter 166 Abnormal
"You'er, what did you find?" Huo Xifei asked hurriedly.
"It's a herb!" Yuan Ziyu said to Huo Xifei with a smile, and hurried to the side of the tree trunk. After a careful look, it turned out that there was not just one Dendrobium chrysotoxum growing on the trunk, but three of them, two of which were small. However, they had just sprouted, so they were not obvious from a distance.
She has learned a lot of pharmacology from Aunt Gu during this period, and now she remembers the appearance of various medicinal herbs by heart.
Yuan Ziyu hurriedly took out a dagger and picked the three Dendrobium cyrtostegum plants. He then calmly put two of the smaller ones into the Qiongjiang Pavilion.
It just so happened that she had originally said that she would find some time to look for some herbal seeds. Now that she has come to Yuetan Mountain, she can take the opportunity to find some herbs. The most important thing is that she can directly transplant the herbs into the Qiongjiang Pavilion, which is really wonderful!
"Sister You, what kind of herb is this?" Huo Wan ran over curiously, squatted beside Yuan Ziyu, and looked at the dendrobium in her hand.
"This is Dendrobium chrysotoxum!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "It's a good thing!"
"What can it cure?" Huo Wan asked curiously again.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "If you have stomachache, poor appetite, or sore legs and feet, you can soak this dendrobium with other herbs in water and drink it. It has many benefits."
"Really!" Huo Wan's eyes lit up. "Then can I ask my grandmother to drink some Dendrobium tea, too?"
"It depends on the specific condition of Old Madam Huo. You can ask the doctor in your mansion to check it out!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile. There shouldn't be any major problem with Old Madam Huo's health. When she met Old Madam Huo a few years ago, except for a cough, she was still strong. Later, she had been making tea with the tea leaves she gave her. Even if she had some minor problems, it was probably nothing serious!
"Okay, I'll remember it!" Huo Wan nodded hurriedly.
When Huo Xifei saw Yuan Ziyou coming back with the dendrobium, he smiled and said, "Looks like from now on, if you have a headache or a fever, you won't have to go far to see a doctor."
"That's right!" Yuan Ziyu smiled. With the Qiongjiang Pavilion by her side, curing diseases and saving lives is a piece of cake for her.
After handing the Dendrobium in his hand to Qingying, Yuan Ziyu no longer focused on hunting, but instead began to concentrate on looking for herbs.
Even Huo Wan became very interested in finding herbs and started looking for them with Yuan Ziyu.
Huo Xifei followed behind, letting the two sisters search everywhere. He only asked Pingshan and the guard who stayed behind to be on guard and to give timely warnings if they found anything big. He also specifically asked Pingshan to weave a basket with rattan branches to put the collected herbs for Yuan Ziyu.
I have to say that Yuetan Mountain is indeed a treasure trove.
Not only were there many wild animals, but there were also many kinds of herbs. In just over an hour, Yuan Ziyu had collected thirty or forty kinds of herbs, and the basket was already half full!
"Sister You, we have picked so many herbs. What are you going to do with them?" After being busy for most of the day, Huo Wan finally remembered to ask this question. Looking at the half basket of herbs, she didn't know what to do with them.
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Take it back and show it to Madam Gu. If there's anything she needs, keep it. We can look at the rest later!"
Every time he collected a kind of herb, Yuan Ziyu would smuggle some seedlings into the Qiongjiang Pavilion. As for the herbs in the basket, Yuan Ziyu planned to go back and show them to Gu Ma Ma to see which ones could treat epidemics. He would then sort them out and set aside a special area to plant those herbs that could treat epidemics after Zhuangzi bought them back.
After the flood the next year, there was an epidemic that almost swept across most of the Dali Dynasty. She remembered that in her previous life, many people died because of the epidemic, and even officials in some places were not spared.
This time, she hopes to do her best to help and save as many people as possible.
After all, the spring water in her Qiongjiang Pavilion is limited. Relying solely on the Qiongjiang Pavilion, not only can she not save many people, but she may also expose her own secrets. If that happens, I'm afraid it won't be saving her family's lives, but taking their lives!
"Then let's find more!" Huo Wan nodded. She also respected Nanny Gu very much. Sometimes when she went to the Yuan Mansion, if she saw Nanny Gu teaching Yuan Ziyu, she would follow her and Nanny Gu would also teach her some things, which she liked very much.
"good!"
"Hey, is that... is that ginseng?" Walking to a cliff, Yuan Ziyu saw from a distance a bit of bright red exposed in the grass next to the cliff. He walked forward to take a closer look and was immediately surprised.
"Ah, is this ginseng?" After hearing this, Huo Wan jumped and ran to Yuan Ziyu, looking at it curiously.
"That should be it!" Yuan Ziyu nodded and said.
Huo Xifei also came over, took a closer look, and nodded, saying, "It should be correct, it's ginseng. I didn't expect there is wild ginseng in Yuetan Mountain. I just don't know how old it is!"
Huo Xifei knew a little about these herbs, but not as much as Yuan Ziyu!
Yuan Ziyou said, "Look, this ginseng has already produced seeds. I think it must be quite old. It's just very strange!"
"What's strange?" Huo Wan asked hurriedly.
"The timing of this ginseng seeding is very unusual!" Yuan Ziyou said, "Regarding the time when ginseng seeds should be around August, it's only April now, and it's already seeding. Isn't that very strange?"
"Well, according to what Sister You said, it is indeed strange!" Huo Wan didn't understand any of this and just agreed.
"Okay, never mind. We'll just pick this ginseng. Even if it's abnormal, it's okay!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
First, he took off the red seeds on the top of the ginseng, wrapped them in a brocade handkerchief, and put them into the Qiongjiang Pavilion under the cover of a purse. Yuan Ziyu then took a dagger and prepared to dig out the ginseng.
At this moment, Pingshan, who was waiting over there, suddenly shouted, "Prince!"
Huo Xifei glanced back, spoke to Yuan Ziyou, then walked back and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Prince, look!" Pingshan pointed to a spot on the cliff and said, "It seems like someone often walks around here."
Huo Xifei looked carefully and saw a few slight indentations on the cliff wall. Perhaps because people often climbed up from here, there were still traces left. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to see them.
"Maybe he is a herbalist!" If Yuan Ziyu had not come to collect herbs, Huo Xifei might have been suspicious, but now that he saw so many herbs in the mountains, he didn't think much about it.
After all, there are not only various farms nearby, but also some villages. Maybe there are people who make a living by collecting herbs.
"Brother!" Huo Wan ran over happily: "Sister You asked me to give you this ginseng..."
Before she could finish her words, Qingying Qingzhi suddenly ran towards the direction where Huo Wan had just run, crying, "Second Miss!"
Huo Xifei was startled and looked up. Where was Yuan Ziyu at the place where he had been digging ginseng?
