neighbors with the king

Chapter 10
"Yes, take advantage of the good weather and go to the mountain to chop some firewood." Su Qingjian replied.

"Can Qingqing's body go up the mountain?" Aunt Zhao asked dissatisfiedly after looking at Su Qingqing lovingly.

"I'm in good health. If I lie on the bed all the time, my health will be worse." Su Qingqing replied crisply.

"Then be careful." Aunt Zhao urged.

"Spring is here, and there are more wild animals on the mountain. You must not go to the deep mountains." The woman next to her said again.

"Thank you, auntie, we know." Su Qingshan agreed with a smile.

So they bid farewell to Aunt Zhao and the others, and the Su Qingqing brothers and sisters continued to move forward.

"The tall one is Mrs. Zhao, our neighbor. She usually takes good care of us. By the way, she also brought over the eggs and rice you eat. The other whiter one is the Song family's aunt. She usually takes care of us. The family walks around a lot, and he is a very nice person." Su Qingshan introduced to her as he walked.

Su Qingqing kept nodding to show that she remembered.

Whenever she met villagers along the way, Su Qingshan introduced her one by one. Su Qingqing didn't remember much, but she always smiled when she saw them.Such a friendly attitude won the favor of many people in the village, and the curiosity about her resurrection from the dead faded a bit.

"We can go up the mountain here, but if we go south, it is the tallest one. We must not pass it. Because it is the property of Lord Lin." Su Qingjian told Qingqing pointing at Daqingshan.

Su Qingqing raised her eyes and looked into the distance, wow!Such a high mountain, but it's a pity that she didn't have a chance to go up it.

And there are many trees on the mountain at their feet, even at the foot of the mountain, the high and low trees grow quite densely.

There are many wild vegetables growing on the sunny slope, and there are obvious traces of being picked by people.

But there are still some edible wild vegetables that no one picks by hand. It seems that everyone doesn't know that these things are edible.

What interests Su Qingqing most is not these, her eyes are all on the densely packed plants with wide leaves growing at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother, does anyone want these wormwood?" She pointed to the green plants and asked Su Qingshan happily.

"This kind of food tastes so good that even livestock don't eat it. Who wants it?" Su Qingfeng rushed to answer.

"Does Qingqing know it's called wormwood?" Su Qingjian asked.

"I know." Su Qingqing stared at the wormwood intently. She not only knew it, but she was very familiar with this plant. "When these grow up, shall we cut them all back home?"

Crouching down, she gently touched the leaves of the wormwood and asked.

"Why do you want this? There are too many at home, and they are all piled up in the straw shed." Su Qingfeng also imitated her and squatted down to look at the wormwood. After watching for a long time, he didn't find anything special about the wormwood.

"Really?" Su Qingqing looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are there many?"

Seeing her wolf-like gaze only looking at Su Qingfeng alone, Su Qingshan and Su Qingjian were a little bit apprehensive.

"It's too much. Last autumn, I cut a lot and went back to use it as grass for fire, but the smell was too strong, so Niang and Qingyun didn't like it, so they piled up there." Su Qingshan replied.

Hey, there is a treasure at home, but the people of the Su family don't even know about it, and Su Qingqing doesn't even know what to say.

"People in the village also go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, don't they?" she asked again.

"Not all the wild vegetables on the mountain can be eaten, some are poisonous and will eat dead people. Of course, most people will dig up the edible wild vegetables." Su Qingjian explained gently, without the violence when facing Zhu Shi.

"Don't you eat wild vegetables with yellow flowers?" Su Qingqing looked at him with a smile and asked.

"Who eats flowers? Not butterflies." Su Qingfeng said with a smile.

"But it's edible." Su Qingqing looked at him, "Today, let's dig a little and go back and taste it."

The three brothers of the Su family were dumbfounded, can flowers be eaten?

"Qingqing, how do you know these are edible?" Su Qingjian asked seriously.As long as no one has tried the things on the mountain, no one dares to try it lightly.

"Look, these have traces of being gnawed by cattle and sheep. Have you heard of any cattle and sheep that died? Besides, have you forgotten who my master is?" Su Qingqing looked at them mysteriously and asked.

The three brothers of the Su family looked at each other, yes, Qingqing's master is not an ordinary person.

"Okay, if you say it's edible, let's dig some back." Su Qingjian agreed, and Su Qingshan and Su Qingfeng didn't object either.

After the decision was made, several people began to work hard, and Su Qingqing asked them to dig some shepherd's purse while digging.

When the basket was almost filled, she couldn't be idle anymore, and walked along the trail while observing, not to mention that she really found something good.

"Brother, do you know this kind of plant?" Su Qingqing asked, pointing to a large pile of vines.

"I don't know." All three brothers shook their heads.

"Qingqing, can this be eaten too?" Su Qingfeng spoke quickly, and asked the two brothers' aspirations.

"This is called yam. You should think that it can be used as medicine when you hear the name. In fact, it is not only a medicine, but also a vegetable. People with weak health can eat it to strengthen their bodies and nourish their yin and kidneys." Su Qingqing explained with a smile.

Su Qingjian and the three of them couldn't understand a lot of terminology, but they all understood things like yam to strengthen their bodies. Both Jin Juanmei and Su Qingqing in the family needed to maintain their health for a long time, but there was no money at home to support them. people.It's all right now, pie in the sky, good medicinal materials are automatically delivered to the door, can they not be happy?

"What are you doing standing there stupidly, let's do it quickly." Su Qingshan was the first to react, he put down the backpack behind him, and then started to do it.

"But are these vines edible?" He asked Su Qingqing while pulling the vines.

"No, it's the roots under the vine. Be careful, the roots are deep and don't hurt the roots." Su Qingqing instructed.

"Leave it to us." Since they didn't bring a shovel, the brothers dug carefully with thick machetes.

When they slowly dug away the sand around the root, a thick root full of whiskers and pimples was dug out.

"It's quite long." Su Qingfeng held the big yam and looked at it again and again.

Su Qingqing also exclaimed when she saw the yam, such an authentic yam would cost 50 yuan a catty in modern times.Such a long yam was dug out from a large plant, and it made a lot of money.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

The three brothers had motivation in their hearts, so they didn't need Su Qingqing to direct them. They continued to work hard and dug out a few more.

"Oh, cousin, your hand is hurt." Su Qingqing frowned and said, looking at Su Qingjian's hand.

"It's okay, it's just a small wound. It's just that the tools are not satisfactory." Su Qingjian replied with a silly smile.
