When the three of them walked to the mountain, the sun was already rising high.
"Yan'er, Xiaonan, follow me closely. It's still a bit dangerous outside," Mu Bai reminded from the side.
"Brother, don't worry, I can protect myself. Let's dig a few traps first, and we'll take a look when we get back."
Mu Bai nodded, found an open space, and started digging a hole with a machete. Mu Yan and Xiao Nan covered the dug hole with a layer of hay. In a short time, 7 or 8 traps were completed.
"Brother, let's walk inside. There aren't many wild vegetables left on the outside. There should be a lot inside. We might encounter some ginseng, styptic grass and other medicinal materials."
"Yan'er remembers the medicinal ingredients?"
"Of course, don't forget, my mother knows some herbal medicines, and I know some of them because of my mother's influence." The original owner's mother made a living by selling herbal medicines, and she also had some friendship with Doctor Yu.
The three of them continued walking into the mountains, talking and laughing, while Mu Yan taught Mu Bai and Xiao Nan how to recognize herbs. I have to say, this cheap brother and younger brother are so awesome, you can remember them once you say them.
"Brother, you are so good. You can remember it after saying it once. How can you fools like us live?" Mu Yan teased him uncontrollably.
"You little girl, you are teasing your brother, aren't you?" The brother pretended to flick his sister's head.
Mu Yan jumped away with a smile and exclaimed, "Wow, brother, look, this is a large cassia seed, it's great."
"Cassia seeds have the effect of clearing the liver, improving eyesight, and laxative. It can also treat headaches, high blood pressure and other diseases. Hurry, we have picked them all."
Mu Yan's face was full of excitement. Mu Bai was amused and said, "Yan'er is the real genius. He knows so many herbal medicines from his mother at such a young age. Hey, what is high blood pressure?"
Mu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped picking the medicine with her hands. She lowered her head and said, "I don't know what kind of disease high blood pressure is. I just heard my mother talk about it with others." Huh, brother, stop pursuing it. Otherwise she will be exposed.
Mu Yan hurriedly changed the subject, and then said: "Brother, if possible, would you rather continue studying, practice martial arts, or practice medicine?"
Mu Bai looked sad for a moment: "If I had a choice, I would like to practice martial arts so that I can protect Yan'er and Xiaonan."
"I chose to go into business so that I can earn a lot of money without worrying about not having enough to eat." Xiaonan also said.
Catching the momentary sadness in his brother's eyes, Mu Yan felt slightly sad and said seriously: "Brother, I will definitely find a way for you to study and practice martial arts at the same time." Although his spatial level is now very low, Mu Yan still embraces There is a glimmer of hope that I can unlock the martial arts secrets left by my predecessors in space.
Then he said to Xiaonan: "Xiaonan, you can follow the second sister from now on. The second sister will take you to do business. However, you have to go to school for a few years first."
"Okay, okay..." Xiaonan responded excitedly.
Mu Yan didn't speak and continued to collect herbs in his hands.
She thought... After making money and celebrating the New Year, she would let her brother continue studying. As for martial arts secrets, if there is no space, I would hire a master to teach my brother specifically.
Along the way, the three of them worked together to collect a basket full of herbs, such as cassia seeds, dandelions, etc. A lot of wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse and bracken were also dug up.
At noon, the two met their neighbors Aunt Wang and Haitang.
Aunt Wang is the daughter-in-law of her neighbor Chai Dazhu. She has given birth to two children. The eldest son is named Chai Haiming, who is as old as his brother. He is 15 years old. The younger daughter is named Chai Haitang, who is the best friend of the original owner.
"Yan'er, come and sit down, rest for a while before picking." Haitang happily took Mu Yan's arm, pulled Mu Yan to a big rock, and sat down.
"Girl Yan, is your head okay?" Aunt Wang said to Mu Yan.
"Thank you Aunt Wang for your concern. I'm fine now." Mu Yan smiled and nodded at Aunt Wang.
"You don't need to be so polite. We fellow villagers should help each other. Besides, when your mother was still here, she took great care of our family and sent us some wild vegetables and herbs from time to time."
Seeing Mu Yan's trace of sadness, Aunt Wang quickly stopped and changed the subject hurriedly: "No more, no more, what did you pick today? Is it enough? Haitang and I dug a lot of wild vegetables. If not, We decorate it for you.”
Haitang held Mu Yan's arm and said, "Yan'er, you don't have to be polite to us, are we still good friends?"
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course we are good friends, and we will play together in the future." Since you are the original owner's best friend, I will definitely take good care of you, Mu Yan mentally decided.
"That's right." Haitang said.
So, the five people simply found a stone to sit down, took out the pancakes they brought, and made do with filling their stomachs.
After eating the pancakes and resting for a while, Mu Yan said, "Brother, Xiao Nan, let's go inside. I want to pick some fruits to eat."
Mu Bai's face was dark and solemn, his brows slightly furrowed, "It's not safe inside."
"Yes, girl, listen to my brother, it's really not safe inside." Aunt Wang persuaded from the side.
"It's okay, I want to walk a little further in and I'll be out in a while."
Mu Bai looked at his sister's serious expression and said, "Okay, but you have to follow my arrangements."
This is really a spoiled girl.
"Okay, you guys can go for a walk again. Haitang and I should go back quickly. Your Uncle Dazhu and Brother Haiming should be back from the fields soon. Let's go back and cook for them."
"Then Aunt Wang, be careful." Mu Yan said.
Haitang reluctantly let go of Mu Yan's arm, "I'll play with you again tomorrow."
"good."
The three of them continued walking into the mountains.
"Xiaonan, why don't you wait here, my brother and I will be out in a moment." Mu Yan thought that Xiaonan must be very tired at such a young age.
"It's okay, don't forget. I'm a man. Since the second sister can keep walking, so can I."
"Okay, if you can't walk anymore, you must tell your brother and second sister."
Konan nodded in response.
After walking for a while, Mu Yan said excitedly: "Look, it's a potato."
"Potato?" Mu Bai asked doubtfully.
"Brother, do you see this kind of grass? There are big, round beans growing on the bottom of this kind of grass. So, I named it potato. Well, it means the beans growing in the soil."
Mu Bai was a little confused, how could his sister know so much, and suddenly felt that he didn't understand his sister. However, in line with the principle of pampering his sister, Mu Bai did not speak, but threw away the soil around the grass, and really saw the tender potatoes.
"How do you want to eat this?" Mu Bai asked.
"There are many ways to eat it. You can fry it or steam it. I'll make it for everyone tonight."
Mu Bai did not ask any more questions, but continued to peel potatoes.
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he would take some time to talk to his brother properly.
"Yeah, there's food tonight..." Xiao Nan said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Tudou's dynasty did not appear in this plane. Potatoes, also known as potatoes, were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the food culture of this dynasty has not yet developed.
At the very least, Mu Yan has determined one thing, that is, the food culture of the Great China Dynasty in this dimension is at least more backward than the Ming Dynasty, no, even more backward than the Yuan Dynasty.
After the three of them dug potatoes and wandered around the mountain for a while, they were ready to go down the mountain.
When I arrived at the place where the trap was set, I saw in the distance that the layer of hay covering the trap was gone.
"Wow, we must have caught prey." Xiaonan said excitedly.
