Chapter 10 March into Dragon Mountain 2
The sleeping Yi Ke dreamed again:
"Dad, I don't want to learn Chinese medicine, I want to learn Western medicine!"
"Yike, look, this mother had pain all over her body for more than ten years. She took a lot of medicine, but it was finally cured by a few doses of Chinese medicine. And your mother's rhinitis was also cured by Chinese medicine. This shows that the prescriptions left by our ancestors, although they cannot bring people back to life, can regulate the body and slowly recover from illness. We can't throw away the things of our ancestors."
…
Yike murmured after waking up from a dream: "Is it true that what you think about during the day you will dream about at night?" While picking herbs during the day, she silently thanked her parents in her previous life. If they had not sent Yike to study Chinese medicine, how could Yike know so many herbs? Without these herbs, how could she have the peaceful life she has now? I was afraid that I would have been bitten to death by snakes or insects.
Even if they were not killed by snake or insect bites, the wounds on their bodies would cause inflammation and fever and they would die if they did not know how to apply herbal medicine. So their parents would come to see them in their dreams at night.
"Mom and Dad! If you saw your precious daughter now has no place to sleep and has to flee to the mountains for her life, you must be heartbroken!"
"Yes! I wonder if you have been reincarnated. Damn time-travel god, if it weren't for you, I would have entered the underworld long ago, and maybe I could have reunited with my parents."
The Great God of Traveling: Blame me...
Yike woke up and picked off the leaves covering his head and body with his hands. He found that his clothes and hair were not wet by the dew. He untied the ropes, hugged the trunk, and slid down the tree. He took a duck egg from the basket in the backpack, knocked a hole in it, and drank from the hole. This way he could fill his stomach and quench his thirst.
"It's okay, it's okay, there's no fishy smell." Yi Ke smacked his lips.
In that era, the nature had not yet been polluted. Even if the wild eggs were not cooked, they had no fishy smell and were even a little sweet. She ate another pancake and a small piece of duck meat and was about eight-tenths full.
Yike put the backpack on his back and continued to march towards Longshan.
"I'm so tired! How many days have I been walking?" Yike muttered to himself as he walked, "Not counting the day I got beaten, it's been at least a week. My small body is really useless. I'm already tired." In fact, Yike knew that the most important thing was the mental fatigue. In a primeval forest like Longshan, there might be tigers, leopards, black bears, wolves, wild boars, poisonous snakes...all of these might exist. She had to be careful, careful and careful! With such high concentration, how could I not be tired?
The closer you get to Longshan, the more difficult the mountain road becomes. Yi Ke carried a backpack and, in addition to using a stick to knock on the weeds to scare away snakes, insects, rats and ants, he also carefully checked the footprints on the ground. Even if it was a piece of animal feces, he would observe it carefully to determine whether there were any large animals nearby. If so, you should take a detour as soon as possible. Alas, all the survival knowledge she had learned before was used here.
"Wow! Isn't that the Bull Demon King's palm-leaf fan?" As Yi Ke walked, he found a wild banana tree about ten meters high and walked over excitedly.
There are two bunches of fruits hanging on the wild banana tree. The fruits are still green and not ripe yet. Unripe banana fruits are not delicious. Even ripe wild banana fruits taste bad and are bitter. However, the banana flower can be cooked and eaten, and its pseudostem and roots can also be used for cooking.
Yi Ke put down his backpack, picked up the hatchet and started chopping at the wild bananas, muttering as he chopped: "Take a stick from me, Sun! Take another stick from me, Sun!"
After all, she was small and not very strong, so it took her about five or six minutes to chop down a banana tree whose waist was not even as thick as she could hug half of it.
"I'm so tired!" The banana tree fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a relatively open space here and the surrounding trees were short. Otherwise, if the banana tree fell and hung on a big tree, she would definitely not be able to drag it down with her small body.
First, cut off the banana fruits. Maybe the land is not fertile enough, so the banana fruits are small and there are not many of them. There are only seven or eight bananas on a bunch of pseudostems, and there are less than twenty in two bunches together. She wrapped the banana in banana leaves and put them aside; she cut the pseudostem into small sections, dug out the banana root, shook off the mud, and put it at the bottom of the backpack, and placed the pseudostem on top of the root. She even cut half of the banana head and put it in the backpack, then put some banana leaves in it, and placed the wrapped banana fruits on top.
Yi Ke also punched many holes in the trunk of the banana tree and put the juice that flowed out of the holes into empty bamboo tubes. These juices can be used to make soup and for medicinal purposes, so they should not be wasted. There was a small banana tree just sprouting up nearby, and she roughly separated the poor little banana from the big banana tree, because banana trees have thick skin and flesh, making them easy to grow. She threw the poor little thing into the backpack, and it was time to transplant it to its future residence.
In his previous life, Yi Ke once saw a breeder feeding pigs with banana leaves while traveling. He also tasted the pork that was raised on banana leaves. The fat was rich but not greasy, and the more he chewed the meat, the more fragrant it became. The deliciousness of the pork made Yi Ke unforgettable for a long time. So Yi Ke went to ask Mr. Baidu at that time: the whole body of banana is a treasure. Soak banana leaves in clean water for a while, pour them into a casserole and boil them for a while, filter them and drink them. It can clear away heat, detoxify and act as a diuretic. Dry and grind the banana leaves or tree trunks, and apply them to the affected area when there is an injury. It can quickly stop bleeding and speed up healing. The pseudostem and head of the banana tree can be eaten as vegetables, and the roots can be used as medicine.
"The Bull Demon King's palm-leaf fan, hahaha! I, Old Sun, want them all! I'm leaving now!" Yi Ke amused himself.
Yike's backpack became heavier after being filled with bananas. She walked forward cautiously, and the sound of the stick hitting the trees startled the unknown birds on the trees; the pheasants fluttered away in a hurry. The rabbit, in a panic, bumped into Yi Ke's calf, causing Yi Ke to stagger. The fat rabbit shook its dizzy head and staggered to another direction to escape again. She swept her kick over, hey! Sit back and wait for something to happen has become sit back and wait for something to happen.
There is rabbit meat to eat! happy!
Then Yike felt that Teng Kuang on his back was not so heavy anymore, his heavy breathing became lighter, and the herbs beside him were no longer an eyesore. The more mushrooms and fungus, the better. Unfortunately, they did not listen to her. Apart from fungus and some mushrooms that she picked at the beginning, she never saw them again. However, other supplies increased, such as herbs and wild fruits.
The resources in the forest are so abundant that Yi Ke's backpack is filled with so many. He wants to pick those that are edible and can be used as medicine. If he picks them, the backpack will become heavier, but he can't bear not to pick them.
Just now Yike was complaining while picking, but now thinking about having rabbit meat in the evening, his energy and spirit returned all of a sudden. Happy picking! Pick! Pick!
The most common items that can be harvested are herbal medicines, such as Panax notoginseng and Pollen Typha for removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, and Platycladus orientalis leaves and Rhizoma Cibotii for cooling blood and stopping bleeding. Houttuynia cordata and Houttuynia cordata for reducing fever and treating colds.
What made Yi Ke most happy was that he found Perilla. Perilla is very effective in treating colds. A cold in the mountains can be fatal, and Perilla can also be used to cook dishes. I like it very much.
Yike carefully dug out the perilla with roots and mud. Perilla is delicate, so she needs to treat it with care. She plans to plant it outside the cave where she lives. At that time, we can have vegetables to eat and use as medicine, killing two birds with one stone. Shiso, with its thin arms and legs, was carefully placed next to the poor little banana sapling, and the banana sapling was pushed to the side to avoid breaking Shiso's thin waist. The banana sapling stared at Perilla pitifully and did not dare to move.
Looking at him, he was grinning foolishly. If you didn't know, you would think he had picked up some treasure.
My stomach started to growl and my legs ached from walking. There were no blisters on the soles of his feet, thanks to the original owner's years of hard work, which resulted in thick calluses on the soles of his feet.
The duck meat was finished and now there was rabbit meat to eat, so Yike decided to find a place with water to rest. We have already crossed two mountains here, and the villagers will not come here. We are no longer worried about being found and taken back, so we can have a good rest.
Yike slowly marched towards Longshan in the mountains and lived a life like a savage.
