Shen Suhong shook her head helplessly. When she heard the medicinal materials, her mind became a mess: "I don't understand these things. I'll just do what you say."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "You have done a good job."

Shen Suhong took the pannier and carried it on her own: "From now on, you will be my lady, and I will be your maid, and I will take care of all trivial matters."

Shen Ruoxi patted Shen Suhong on the shoulder: "We have always been good sisters."

Shen Suhong smiled slowly: "Ruoxi, you are so kind to me."

The two of them were talking, and when they came to Doctor Barefoot's house, Shen Ruoxi took out a bag of things from the basket and asked Shen Suhong to wait for her outside, and she walked into the yard alone: ​​"Grandpa."

"I'm here." The barefoot doctor's voice came from the medicine room.

Shen Ruoxi walked over quickly: "Grandpa, I brought you some food, you have a taste."

The barefoot doctor packed up the medicinal materials and said with a smile: "You don't get paid for nothing, Grandpa can't take your things."

Shen Ruoxi said sincerely: "Grandpa is out of touch now. As a junior, I should give you something to eat. You don't have to make such a clear distinction."

The barefoot doctor turned his head to look at Shen Ruoxi, and said with a smile, "Then I will accept it."

Shen Ruoxi handed the oil paper bag to the barefoot doctor: "Grandpa, I want to go up the mountain to collect herbs, do you want to go?"

The barefoot doctor took the things and put them in an empty dustpan beside him, and replied, "I was also going, so let's go together."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Then I'll wait for you at the gate."

The barefoot doctor nodded: "OK."

Shen Suhong saw Shen Ruoxi coming out, and went up to meet her: "Ruoxi, are you leaving?"

"Grandpa is going to collect medicine too, let's wait for him." Shen Ruoxi looked back and said to Shen Suhong.

"En." Shen Suhong said.

After waiting for a while, the barefoot doctor came out of the room, accompanied by Shen Yan.

Shen Yan glanced at Shen Ruoxi gratefully. After taking the medicine Shen Ruoxi prescribed for her before, her stomach pain stopped and she felt very comfortable.

Shen Ruoxi nodded to Shen Yan, and then walked up the mountain first.

The vegetation in the mountains is lush and weeds are overgrown, and the herbs needed grow in the weeds. Now that it is early summer, the weeds are luxuriant, and the herbs are even more difficult to find.

A group of people walked into the mountain in a single line, Shen Ruoxi walked in the front, followed by Shen Suhong, followed by Doctor Shen, and finally Shen Yan.

All four of them carried baskets on their backs, and they looked like they were picking herbs from the mountains.

The mountain I just walked into is relatively flat, with few trees, mostly waist-high weeds. These weeds are green and can be cut down for firewood. Now they look pretty good.

"Ruoxi, look ahead, there is such a big reed." Shen Suhong pointed to the front, as if she had seen it for the first time, her expression was full of excitement.

As Shen Ruoxi walked towards the reeds, she asked, "Grandpa, I'm going to dig some fresh reed roots, do you want to dig them?"

The barefoot doctor nodded: "To dig, the reed root clears away heat and promotes body fluid, relieves restlessness, relieves vomiting, and diuresis. It has an excellent effect on fever, polydipsia, stomach heat, vomiting, lung heat cough, lung abscess, pus spit, and hot stranguria pain. "

Shen Ruoxi answered: "Reed root is often mixed with mulberry leaves, chrysanthemums, bellflowers and other medicines to dispel wind and clear heat, clear the lungs and relieve cough. The prescription is like Sangju Drink in "Ticket of Warm Diseases."

The barefoot doctor secretly praised: "Fresh reed root clears the middle and clears the wind and heat, and cures wind-heat cough. It is more powerful than dried reed root, so you don't need to pick so much."

Shen Ruoxi said again: "Grandpa, the reed root combined with mint and cicadas can dispel wind and clear heat, purify toxins and penetrate rashes. It can be used for children with measles in the early stages of rash."

The barefoot doctor smiled humbly: "I don't know this, but I wrote it down, next time I meet you, you can try it."

Shen Ruoxi looked sideways at the barefoot doctor's expression, and seeing that the latter was fine, she was relieved: "Grandpa, sit down and rest, we are young and energetic, let's dig."

"Then grandpa is being lazy." The barefoot doctor smiled, and without arguing with them, he sat down on a stone and watched them dig.

The three girls put down their panniers, took out their small hoe, went to the reeds, cut off the reeds, and dug up its roots.

The place where the reeds grow is generally full of water, and the roots can be dug up easily. After a while, Shen Ruoxi dug up the roots of two reeds.

Shen Suhong said: "Ruoxi, our medical center has a lot of medicines, so we can dig more."

Shen Ruoxi agreed: "Yes, but digging four or five catties is enough, and I will dig again when it is used up."

Shen Suhong nodded: "OK."

Listening to what the two said, Shen Yan hesitated and asked, "Ruoxi, is the business of the pharmacy going well?"

Shen Ruoxi was afraid of being jealous, so she picked up the poor and said: "It's just average, but it's not good, after all, everyone doesn't recognize me very much."

Shen Suhong wanted to refute a few words, but when she opened her mouth, she understood what Shen Ruoxi meant, so she echoed: "That is, those patients see that Ruoxi is a girl, don't mention how disgusting they are, many of them sat down or left."

Shen Yan was a little disbelieving, and said: "But didn't someone come to the village to invite you last night?"

Shen Suhong waved her hand, and said helplessly, "It was introduced by an acquaintance, and most people still don't recognize it."

Shen Yan nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Suhong blinked at Shen Ruoxi, to see if I react quickly.

Shen Ruoxi smiled at her.

Reed rhizome is long cylindrical or flat cylindrical, with different lengths, yellowish-white surface, shiny, apex shaped like bamboo shoots, green or yellow-green, odorless, sweet.

Shen Suhong was digging, and suddenly asked: "Ruoxi, can this be eaten?"

While digging, Shen Ruoxi answered her: "Yes, it's still sweet, there's nothing strange about it, you can try it."

Shen Suhong really took a sip: "It is indeed sweet. If there is a famine, this reed root may bear the brunt and become everyone's ration."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Don't expect bad things to happen, it's better to use this thing as medicine."

Shen Suhong poohed twice, then quickly said: "You are right."

The three of them dug more than a dozen catties of reed roots here, wrapped them into balls, wrapped them with reed leaves, put them in the reed bushes, and picked them up later when they came back.

The four continued to go to the mountains.

The barefoot doctor looked ahead, and suddenly said: "Dig some white grass roots and go back, Ruoxi, do you want it?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, I'm going to dig too."

Imperata coronata, because its leaves are shaped like spears, so people call it "spear", and its flowers and roots are white, so it is called "Imperata coronata".

The buds, flowers, and roots of Imperata Cottage have high medicinal value, especially its root is a good medicine for treating various hemorrhagic diseases.

Imperata rhizome is a medicinal and edible product that is often used in spring and summer among the folks. It is cold in nature and sweet in taste. It enters the lung, stomach, and small intestine meridian.
