Although he didn't think drying it would be of any use, he made it because the child wanted it.
By the time the children got up, I had already done two more.
Gu Xia first spread the honeysuckle spread on the ground onto a winnowing basket, and then moved it to the shelf so that it could fully bask in the sun.
After breakfast, Uncle Gu took the children to their neighbor Gu Dazhi's house.
The people in Gujia Village basically have the same surname, and Gu Dazhi and Gu Dabo are childhood friends.
He has two children, both boys.
The older one is 14 years old and the younger one is 5 years old.
Uncle Gu, an adult, didn’t know what children played with nowadays, so he wanted to let the two children from the neighborhood take the four children to play.
Gu Xia met Gu Dazhi's eldest son, Gu Qingyun. He didn't want to play with his brother and asked Gu Xia where she wanted to go.
Gu Xia wanted to go to the mountain again.
Xiao Zhuzi had two younger sisters to take care of him, so he was not worried and followed Gu Qingyun.
Gu Qingyun took him to the foot of the mountain, where there was still a large field of honeysuckle.
He just skipped it and walked all the way up.
"Brother Gu Xia, let me take you to pick wild fruits." Gu Qingyun didn't know what to say to this brother from the city, so he just picked the ones he knew how to do first.
Gu Xia smiled: "Okay."
He was very familiar with the mountain, and after taking Gu Xia along a small path, they saw a mulberry.
The purple-red fruits on it are mouth-watering.
Gu Qingyun picked a bunch and shared it with Gu Xia, but was a little worried that he would dislike it.
Gu Xia took it, said thank you and put it in his mouth.
It was very juicy and sweet, and Gu Xia's eyes lit up.
Gu Qingyun found that it was not difficult to get along with people from this city.
"Brother Gu Xia, let's pick more and take them back. Otherwise, they won't be available next time and others will come to pick them."
Gu Xia nodded and started picking together.
I picked enough to fill half a backpack.
There is an unwritten rule here that you cannot pick all the wild fruits, otherwise it would be bad for the people who come later to have nothing to eat.
Later, he took Gu Xia to a deeper level and was not allowed to enter anymore.
"It's deep into the mountains, so let's not go in."
Gu Xia looked around and found some Coptis chinensis and Isatis root.
He took a hoe and dug them all out.
"Brother Gu Xia, why are you digging this grass?"
"This is a herb. I can dig it up and dry it for use."
"You also know herbs?"
Gu Xia smiled and nodded: "A little bit."
“You’re amazing.”
Gu Xia said softly, "Everyone has their own strengths. My knowledge of Chinese medicine is nothing. Speaking of which, you are better than me in the mountains. You have a good sense of direction."
Gu Qingyun blushed at his praise and waved his hands: "No, no, I've just been used to it since I was a child. By the way, Brother Gu Xia, I'll take you to see the trap I made. If there's any prey, I'll share it with you."
His father, Gu Dazhi, learned some tricks from an old hunter in the village, and he has been digging traps with his father recently.
When they arrived at the trap set by Gu Qingyun, there was really prey inside.
It's a rabbit with an injured leg.
Gu Xia picked it up and bandaged it.
Gu Qingyun originally wanted to suggest roasting the rabbit, but seeing him like that, he felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Qingyun, can you please not eat this rabbit? I need it. I'll give you one dollar to buy it when we get back."
Gu Qingyun hurriedly shook his head: "No need, Brother Gu Xia, I'll give it to you, I don't want any money."
Gu Xia didn't argue with him, thinking about getting something to compensate him when she returned to her uncle's house.
