The happy little days of the Ye family

Both Sweet Potato and Snowball are wolfdogs. Although they usually look very well-behaved and sensible, and are often bullied by Xiaoqi, they still have the blood of wolves in their blood.

Seeing this big mountain, I was obviously more excited than usual. As soon as I got off the donkey cart, I ran away happily, and then I sniffed and sniffed excitedly.

Seeing that the two dogs did not run far, Ye Xilin ignored them.

When Xueqiu and Hongshu were young, they asked Tang Xiaojing to help train them, and they had no problem catching prey on their own.

In fact, Ye Xilin, who went hunting in the mountains for the first time, was more excited than the two dogs.

Looking left and right, I felt that my two eyes were not enough, and I had no time to deal with two silly dogs.

Langshan is obviously different from the two hills at home. Every tree is thicker than a bucket, and the leaves are so big and dense that they block the sunlight.

The weeds that had grown for who knows how many years were only a head shorter than him. If anyone of shorter stature came in, no one would be seen.

There are specks of sunlight shining on the ground, and the surroundings look a bit dark and gloomy.

There was wind blowing around, the leaves on the trees rustled, and the weeds on the edge also rubbed against each other, making subtle sounds.

Ye Xilin felt very excited and his heart beat very fast. He always felt that there was some treasure waiting for him on this mountain.

Walking to Li Guoer's side, Ye Xilin said enthusiastically:

"I have a hunch that we will definitely find wild ginseng this time. Guo'er, please tell me, what does the fresh ginseng look like?"

"Don't worry, take out the machete from your backpack first. When going into the mountains, be sure to carry a handy weapon. If you encounter a big guy, at least you will have something to defend yourself."

Ye Xilin also realized that he was too excited. He quickly took out two machetes from the backpack behind him and handed one of them to Ye Liguoer.

This time when we went up the mountain, in addition to the big backpack behind the machete Ye Xilin, there were also many things that Li Guoer asked him to carry.

Things like bows and arrows, machetes, small medicine hoes, sacks, ropes, salt and dry food are all necessary.

The place where the two came was the front of Langshan Mountain. The prey here is relatively abundant, and most of the hunters in the village hunt nearby.

The two saw many traps dug by hunters around them, but there were many people walking around and there were not many small animals at the foot of the mountain.

Of these traps, 10 out of 7 were empty, and most of the traps caught were rabbits.

The two of them did not stop. Based on his own experience, Li Guoer took Ye Xilin to a place with few people.

On the way, Li Guoer paid attention to the surroundings and told Ye Xilin about the appearance and characteristics of wild ginseng.

Ye Xilin listened very carefully and wished he could take a notebook to write it down.

The two walked for about half a quarter of an hour, and saw that there were fewer traps around them, and the types of trees around them had also changed.

Li Guoer saw a pheasant standing on the treetop from a distance, but before she could take out the bow and arrow, it had already flown away gracefully.

Only a piece of brightly colored chicken feathers was left in the air.

Sweet Potato and Snowball, who were closer to the pheasant, were faster and chased after them, but they returned empty-handed after a while.

There are usually too many people walking around at the foot of the mountain, and the small animals on the mountain have long been scared away.

Valuable herbs and edible wild vegetables have long been snatched away.

The two walked for a while, and saw that the surrounding weeds were growing more lush. Li Guoer was holding a machete to clear a path ahead.

Ye Xilin followed Li Guoer closely like a little daughter-in-law.

Although there were not many small animals, not everyone knew about herbal medicine, but the two of them picked up a big leak.

Not long after the two left, Li Guoer discovered several quite familiar plants.

Li Guoer excitedly pointed to one of the trees and Ye Xilin and said:

"I was lucky today. I found something good as soon as I entered the mountain. These are Panax notoginseng, also called Panax notoginseng."

"Its roots have the effect of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. It is very effective in treating injuries caused by bruises. Looking at the age, one tree can be sold for several hundred coins."

Hearing Li Guoer's words, Ye Xilin grinned and took out the small medicine hoe.

Ye Xilin had never dug these things before, and Li Guoer was afraid that he would damage the roots underneath, so she took the medicine hoe and did it herself.

There are 5 Panax notoginseng trees in total, three big ones and two small ones.

Li Guoer dug up all the three big trees, leaving the two smaller ones to continue growing.

This is the habit of hunters like Li Guoer. Whether they encounter prey or herbs, they always only want big ones.

The smaller ones are left to continue to reproduce.

Ye Xilin looked at the three ugly tree roots in the basket and couldn't believe it.

"In just this short period of time, you have earned more than one tael of silver?"

After finding these treasures, Li Guoer was also beaming.

"If you are lucky, there are many more, such as Polygonatum, Polygonum multiflorum, Gastrodia elata and Poria cocos. These are all precious medicinal materials that can be found in the mountains."

"I don't know Poria cocos, but I've seen the other three types at my brother-in-law's place."

While Ye Xilin carefully recalled what these medicinal materials looked like, he lowered his head and looked carefully at every plant on the ground.

After looking at it, Ye Xilin saw a somewhat familiar plant in a knee-deep pit.

The pit was filled with fallen leaves, and there were a few inconspicuous grasses in the corner. If you didn't pay attention, you really wouldn't be able to spot them.

"Guo'er, look quickly, is that Gastrodia elata?"

Li Guoer followed the direction pointed by Ye Xilin's finger and saw a small Gastrodia elata tree.

"It's a little small, but it's definitely Gastrodia elata."

Li Guoer took a small medicine hoe and dug it out in a few clicks.

"It's a bit low this year, but it's still pretty good. How can I sell it for 300 Wen?"

Ye Xilin held the Gastrodia elata he discovered, grinning almost to the back of his ears.

"I found something good as soon as I came here. I'm really lucky today. I think I can definitely find wild ginseng."

Ye Xilin was particularly excited, as if he had drank Shiquan Dabu Decoction, and his whole body was full of energy.

Li Guoer on the side was also infected and said cheerfully:

"Our goal today is to find a wild ginseng tree."

The two looked at each other, then laughed stupidly, and then began to continue hunting for treasure in the mountains.

Ye Xilin and Li Guoer kept walking through the mountains and fields.

There are towering trees on the mountain, and there are thick leaves and branches under the feet. Thick tree roots and stones are hidden underneath, and you will trip over them if you are not careful.

As the two of them were walking, Ye Xilin accidentally stepped on a wooden log under the leaves. His feet slipped and he fell backwards.

The place where the two of them were standing happened to be a small hillside. Ye Xilin fell down and rolled a few times before falling into a large pit.

When Li Guoer heard the sound and looked back, Ye Xilin was already rolling on the ground, and she could only watch helplessly as he fell into the pit.

Looking at the big pit as high as himself, Li Guoer looked inside anxiously:

"Xilin, Xilin, how are you? Are you injured?"
