The stone platform is actually a large rock protruding from the waist of Yinjiao Mountain. After passing the stone platform, they saw a walnut tree, but Wang Xiaohua and Li Fengjuan were not happy.
Li Fengjuan stepped on the fallen walnut, rubbed off the outer green skin in a few strokes, and then scraped it with her toes twice. She shook her head and said, "It's a stupid walnut, not delicious."
"Alas," Wang Xiaohua sighed, raised her foot and kicked a nearby walnut far away, muttering unwillingly, "Why is it a stupid walnut? What a pity."
Seeing Mu Huaixi's puzzled expression, she explained, "Stupid walnuts are walnuts that only have skin but no flesh. The flesh inside is very small and sour and astringent. Tell me, are they stupid or not?"
Mu Huaixi curled the corners of his mouth. In fact, this stupid walnut is the original walnut. This kind of walnut is not useless. The wooden partition between the two thin pieces of walnut meat is called "fenxin wood". It tastes bitter, has a neutral nature, and can strengthen the spleen and kidneys.
After hearing what she said, Wang Xiaohua hurriedly picked up the walnut that she had just kicked away and said she would take it home to soak in water.
Seeing that she had picked up the ones on the ground and was about to climb the tree to pick more, Mu Huaixi immediately stopped her and said, "Instead of picking walnuts, you might as well pick the golden berries in front. Golden berries are sweet when soaked in wine and are good for women."
Wang Xiaohua immediately dropped the walnuts and ran over to her, looking at her eagerly. "Where is it? What is a golden cherry? It sounds pretty nice. It sounds delicious!"
Mu Huaixi led her to the west of the walnut tree. After walking for a while, they finally saw the golden cherry tree full of fruits. It was only about one person tall, but its broad crown was full of fruits.
“It’s the yellow bottle!”
"Wow, it's the sugar jar!"
Li Fengjuan and Wang Xiaohua spoke at the same time, but called out two different names. Together with the golden cherry that Mu Huaixi mentioned, one tree actually had three names.
The three of them also realized this, looked at each other, and laughed together.
"Hahahahahahaha," Wang Xiaohua laughed the most happily. She reached out and picked a fruit, rubbed it on her body, and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said, "I know this candy jar. When I was a child, when I went to my grandma's house, my cousin loved to take me to pick this to eat."
"We call it the yellow bottle here. It's yellow and red. It has a lot of thorns on it, so some people also call it the thorn head. But when it's ripe, the thorns disappear, and it tastes pretty good."
"Can this stuff be used to make wine?" Wang Xiaohua stuffed several more into her mouth and asked Mu Huaixi incoherently, "What are its effects? If it works, I'll make a few more bottles and bring them back to my mom and sister-in-law for the New Year as a New Year's gift!"
"Mu... Boss, tell me how to make wine with golden berries. I also want to make some for my mother." Li Fengjuan was obviously not used to calling her Boss, and she scratched her face awkwardly.
"Wash it clean, dry it halfway, and then make wine with it. You can drink it after two or three months. Don't drink more than half a cup at a time. It nourishes the kidneys, replenishes essence, strengthens the lungs, and relieves coughs. But children and breastfeeding women should not drink it," Mu Huaixi said briefly. The two people in front of him couldn't wait to pick the fruits, and it seemed that they wanted to pluck out the whole tree.
Mu Huaixi didn't compete with them. She walked around the golden cherry tree twice and took note of the surrounding terrain. She planned to come back and take a look next spring. She planned to move two seedlings outside the window of the clinic. After all, the golden cherry flowers were also very beautiful.
Li Fengjuan and Wang Xiaohua had a very enjoyable picking activity, and they stopped only when the bamboo baskets were full.
Wang Xiaohua burped as she stood up, but she was clearly not satisfied. She stared at Mu Huaixi and said, "Boss, you have excellent eyesight. You can spot the golden cherry from such a distance. Quickly activate your abilities and see if there are any other rare treasures nearby!"
"What ability do you have?" Mu Huaixi was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He just shook his head and said, "I have been going up the mountain with my grandfather since I was a child. I have seen a lot of these. You know more mushrooms than me!"
"I understand, I understand. Hunters go up the mountain to hunt, but you herbalists go up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. As herbal hunters, you must have some unique tricks," Wang Xiaohua said excitedly. She knocked on the tree next to her, "From now on, I will follow the boss up the mountain. Feng Xiaoer can only identify mushrooms, but if I follow the boss, maybe we can even dig up ginseng, deer antlers, or cordyceps!"
"..." Li Fengjuan didn't even bother to talk to her. Listen to what this person said. Digging ginseng is fine, but deer antlers are also dug out? She rolled her eyes, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun was almost at its zenith, so she suggested going back.
Mu Huaixi also felt that it was time to return. Although today was the health center's disinfection holiday, they couldn't stay in the mountains all day. It would be troublesome if they couldn't find anyone to help them if something urgent happened.
Wang Xiaohua was somewhat reluctant, but she had no choice but to follow them down the mountain, picking at the grass and flowers along the way, and kept saying that she would show them her ability to catch pheasants next time.
But in Mu Huaixi's eyes, she had scared away countless pheasants and wild birds, and she really didn't look like a capable "hunter".
Mu Huaixi felt along the way and found that her sharp five senses gradually became blurred after leaving Yinjiao Mountain. By the time she reached the pass post where people were coming and going, her five senses had returned to their usual level - sharper than ordinary people, but not exaggerated.
"I have to go to Jinjiao Mountain some other day," Mu Huaixi was thinking about how to verify his guess about the five senses, when he heard Wang Xiaohua greeting enthusiastically towards the front.
"Hu Liang! Xiao Hu!"
"Wang Xiaohua! Comrade Mu!"
Mu Huaixi looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Hu, the medical worker who had returned with them on the military truck, waving at them. Next to him stood a girl with two long braids, looking at them timidly.
Wang Xiaohua greeted him with a smile, not forgetting to push her best friend forward. "Xiao Hu, why don't you say hello to your master? As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a teacher! You haven't shown up since you learned from him. Are you trying to be an ungrateful person?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Li Fengjuan said, her ears red with embarrassment. She quickly explained to Hu Liang, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not some kind of master. We should all make progress together, right?"
"Master Li," Xiao Hu deliberately saluted her, then laughed with Wang Xiaohua and explained to Mu Huaixi, "Comrade Mu, I learned some hygiene knowledge from Master Li before. She taught me very patiently, and I am very grateful."
"Cough cough cough cough..." A violent cough interrupted the conversation of several people. The girl with long braids covered her mouth with a red face, and tears gradually gathered in her eyes.
Li Fengjuan stepped forward to pat her back, but she dodged and hid behind Xiao Hu, timidly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."
The atmosphere became awkward. Xiao Hu coughed lightly and explained, "Doctor Mu, this is the woman you saved on your way back, Tang Xiaotang. She came to thank you, but couldn't find you, so she called me out."
Mu Huaixi took a look at Tang Xiaotang, who was obviously dressed up. Seeing that she was still hiding behind Xiao Hu, a flash of understanding flashed through her mind. She turned sideways to gesture to the bamboo basket she was carrying and said goodbye to Xiao Hu. "You're welcome. It's all my duty. We still have things to carry. We'll leave first. Xiao Hu, talk to her and tell her not to force herself to carry it. If she really can't, come to the health center."
