Because all the members of the commune finished harvesting the peanuts yesterday, Su Tian slept in until late morning again today.
She wants to go up the mountain today to see if there are any medicinal herbs, or pheasants and rabbits.
Carrying a basket on her back and holding a wood-chopping knife, Su Tian, who had already reached the top of the mountain, was like a playful puppy, jumping around everywhere.
This time, she wanted to go deeper into the mountains, because there are good things in the deep mountains.
Suddenly, she noticed a cluster of graves on the mountain. "Wow, there might be something good in those graves."
She rushed over quickly, put down her basket, squatted down, and began to search carefully.
The grass in the graveyard was varying in height, some ten centimeters tall, others three inches. So, Su Tian pulled up several blades of grass in no time.
The first herb Su Tian found was called Four-Leaf Lotus.
Four-leaf clover is the whole plant of the Malus genus in the Malaceae family. It also has other names such as four-leaf clover, field grass, and four-leaf clover.
The four-leaf clover has the following main medicinal values:
It can clear heat and detoxify, and has a certain therapeutic effect on sore throat, boils and carbuncles caused by heat toxins. For example, when heat toxins accumulate in the throat and cause pain and difficulty swallowing, four-leaf clover can help reduce the inflammatory response.
It can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and can be used to treat edema, difficulty urinating, and other conditions. When edema occurs due to abnormal fluid metabolism, especially when damp-heat accumulates in the lower abdomen causing difficulty urinating, four-leaf lotus can help promote urine excretion and alleviate edema symptoms.
It also has a calming effect, which can alleviate symptoms such as restlessness and insomnia. If restlessness and difficulty falling asleep are caused by excessive heart fire, four-leaf clover can help clear heart fire and calm the mind.
Su Tian not only found many four-leaf lotuses, but also picked a lot of single-stem goldenrods.
This is also a kind of herb, which has the main effects of clearing heat and eliminating stagnation.
It is commonly used for infantile malnutrition, summer fever in children, diarrhea in children, and jaundice-type hepatitis. In the treatment of infantile malnutrition, *Ulva prostrata* helps improve the spleen and stomach function of children and eliminate symptoms of malnutrition caused by food stagnation, such as abdominal distension, emaciation, and sparse hair.
For children suffering from summer heat, it can help clear away heat evil from the body and relieve symptoms such as fever, thirst, and irritability.
These two herbs can be found on the mountains of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, especially in cemeteries.
In the summer, adults in the family would go up the mountain to pick a lot of them, dry them, and store them.
Occasionally, buy some lean pork and liver and cook them with these herbs to make soup. It's especially good for children's health.
In modern times, these two herbs sell for 100 yuan per kilogram, which is very expensive because of their scarcity.
Su Tian plucked for two hours and had a large handful. The more she plucked, the more she wanted to pluck, as if she wanted to pluck forever.
She became more and more excited as she searched, like she was on a treasure hunt. Perhaps the villagers didn't recognize this herb, otherwise there wouldn't be so many on the graves waiting for her to pick.
After working for two hours, she reluctantly left the cemetery, because she still needed to see if there was any prey to hunt.
She was craving meat, so Su Tian went to the back mountain, where pheasants often roamed. She approached cautiously, afraid of startling them.
Suddenly, a pheasant appeared in her field of vision. Su Tian immediately picked up a stone, aimed, and threw it, killing it instantly. The pheasant fell lifelessly to the ground.
Fortunately, she didn't lose the skills she learned in the apocalypse; otherwise, it would have been such a pity to watch the meat that was about to be eaten fly away.
She picked up the pheasant and threw it into her basket. Not long after, she found a wild rabbit.
This time, she was more cautious, slowly approaching the hare before picking up a stone and throwing it, killing the hare.
She happily tossed the wild rabbit into her basket, humming a song as she looked for a way down the mountain.
As Su Tian was walking, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from ahead.
She stopped and cautiously observed her surroundings. The sound grew closer, and then she saw a wild boar, which she estimated to weigh 200 pounds, charging towards her.
Su Tian's eyes lit up, hahaha...
Wild boar, you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me.
She looked around and saw a big tree. A thought struck her, and she climbed the tree with all her might.
The wild boar chased the tree to its base, circling it and trying to break the trunk.
It kept crashing into the tree dozens of times, but Su Tian remained firmly standing on it.
While panting, the wild boar kept ramming the tree, trying to break it and cause the humans above to fall.
While laughing heartily, Su Tian observed the wild boar. Then, she realized that the wild boar was hitting the tree less and less frequently.
Su Tian immediately climbed down and took out a large machete from her spatial storage. This machete was what Su Tian used to chop down zombies in the apocalypse, and she had always been reluctant to throw it away.
She used all her strength to slash down with the knife, blood splattering everywhere, and the wild boar screamed as it fell to the ground.
Su Tian looked at her masterpiece with pride, wondering what price she could get for this wild boar on the black market.
She had just put the wild boar into her spatial storage and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a roar behind her.
She turned around and saw... a much larger wild boar charging towards her, its eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.
Could this be a male wild boar? Has it come to seek revenge on me?
Hehehe...
Today is a really good day.
Su Tian immediately climbed up another big tree like a monkey, waiting for the wild boar to run into the tree on its own. Once it got tired, she would climb down and finish it off.
While watching the wild boar charge, Su Tian took a handful of sunflower seeds from her spatial storage and started munching on them.
After finishing two handfuls of sunflower seeds, she swiftly climbed down the tree, picked up a large machete, and quickly slashed the wild boar several times. The boar fell to the ground, and she immediately put it back into her spatial storage.
She calmly picked a few branches and cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.
