Six-Year-Old Child, Baojiao, is Busy with Kingdom-Building Chapter 20

  Chapter 20 Finding Herbs in the Jungle

While Mother was going to the eldest brother's house, Jiaojiao and Erya hurriedly sneaked into the house like thieves, Jiaojiao was arranged to watch at the door, Erya went to the kang and shook the younger brother, shouting in a low voice : "Xiao Li wake up..."

  Xiao Li on the kang slept soundly, frowned and muttered, "Mom~ I want to sleep." He rolled over and continued to sleep soundly.

   "On weekdays, there is no one to see. Sleep late at critical times. Get up quickly." Erya raised her hand and grabbed the younger brother's collar, trying to wake him up quickly.

  Going into the forest, she has to carry Jiaojiao on her back. Where can I move the herbs she dug up? The younger brother can help carry them back with a lot of strength.

  But Xiao Li was unmoved, and even snored slightly.

   "Sister~ I'll come."

  Jiaojiao ran to the box where Niang hid snacks, stepped on a small wooden stool to open the cabinet, and took out two pieces of peach cakes that Aunt Liu gave.

   Denden ran towards the younger brother and sister again.

  Jiaojiao handed one of the peach cakes to her sister, took the other piece and climbed up the kang with difficulty, handed the peach blossom cakes to the younger brother's mouth, and shouted: "Little brother, wake up~ eat peach cakes."

  Xiao Li smelled the fragrance and heard that someone asked him to eat, so he opened his mouth subconsciously, and the sweet pastry was stuffed into his mouth, he took a bite quickly, and felt that it was not a dream, he suddenly got up and rubbed his eyes.

   Seeing clearly that it was the younger sister, Xiao Li's clear eyes were a little puzzled, and he scratched his head sleepily, chewing on the peach crisps in his mouth, and asked, "Sister, why is there something delicious?"

"This is the peach cake from Mrs. Liu~" As she spoke, Jiaojiao stuffed him with the leftover half of the peach cake in her hand, and said softly: "Brother, let's go outside to dig herbs with my sister today. If you earn money, you can buy a lot of snacks."

  Xiao Li was eating the peach cake in his hand, and when he heard that it was sold for money to buy snacks, his eyes lit up, he got up and slipped down from the kang, happily said: "Yeah! Sister~ Let's go dig a lot of herbs and sell them for money."

   As he spoke, he was about to run outside.

  Erya hurriedly grabbed the younger brother by the back collar, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Li, you follow me for a while, and you are not allowed to tell your mother that if you don't, I won't buy you snacks."

  Xiao Li shook his head anxiously, and said while eating with puffy cheeks, "Sister~ Xiao Li is obedient, earning money to buy snacks."

   "Okay, as long as the younger brother is obedient, I will buy snacks for you."

  The peach cake in Er Ya's hand was reluctant to eat, she squeezed it and put it in her pocket for the younger brother, coaxing in a low voice: “I'll eat the peach cake for Xiao Li, if mother asks about you, tell me we're going to catch butterflies.”

   "Yeah!" Xiao Li grinned happily and nodded vigorously, and the little black hand patted the pocket containing peach cakes, thinking of the sweet taste, he was very happy.

  After Xiao Li settled down, Erya led her siblings and walked out of the yard.

   Coming out of the eldest son's room, Liu Zhihua happened to bump into him. When she saw Xiao Li, she smiled and said, "You brat can't bear it anymore."

  Xiao Li remembered what his sister said, and immediately said loudly: "We are going to catch butterflies!"

  Liu Zhihua came over and knocked on his forehead, and said with a grumpy smile, "Say what you say, what are you doing so loudly."

  Erya was afraid that her younger brother would reveal her secrets, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm taking my younger brother and younger sister out to play."

  Liu Zhihua looked at the big sun in the sky, it was still early for the sun to set, so she persuaded: "Erya, wait for the sun to go down, go out at noon, Jiaojiao is delicate, don't get heatstroke."

  Erya shook her head hurriedly, held up the basket in her hand for Mother to see, and explained: "Mother, put a water bottle and a straw hat in the basket for Jiaojiao so she won't suffer from heat stroke, and there are many butterflies at noon, and the sun shining on them is the best way to catch them lazily."

Liu Zhihua shook her head and smiled when she heard her daughter's crooked words, squatted down and hugged Jiaojiao, but said worriedly: "Baby, don't dare to run around outside, let my sister catch butterflies for you, hide in the shade when it's hot, thirsty I asked my sister for water."

  With a smile on her face, Jiaojiao hugged her mother's little hand and patted it softly, "Mother~ Jiaojiao knows."

  Erya was carrying the basket, behind her Jiaojiao and Xiaoli walked hand in hand, and they walked towards the forest.

  The coarse cloth Erya brought was used to repel mosquitoes, but the weather was too hot and Xiao Li refused to wear it, so Erya didn't wear it in the end. When she went into the woods, she carried her little sister on her back, and Xiao Li followed behind with a basket.

  There are many flowers and plants along the way, and Jiaojiao saw a lot of herbs, but thinking of Uncle Liu saying that ordinary herbs are very cheap, she asked her sister to go further.

  As far as she knows, Ganoderma lucidum generally grows on rotten trees or their roots, and the growth environment is mostly dark and humid mountain forests.

Erya walked for a long time and didn't hear the little girl talking about medicinal materials. She looked at the dense jungle with some doubts, and while hiding from the big weeds poking out her head, she asked, "Jiaojiao, we haven't encountered it all this way." Herbs?"

  Jiaojiao shook her head and explained in a waxy voice: "Sister, there are herbs here, but the uncle said that these herbs can't be sold at a good price. I want to find more expensive herbs."

Hearing this, Erya hurriedly put her younger sister on the rock in front of her. Her dark face was hot and her round eyes were very clever. She coaxed her younger sister and said, "Jiaojiao, let's pick some common medicinal materials first, and wait until we find rare medicinal herbs." Can the medicinal materials be harvested again?"

  Dr. Li said that precious medicinal materials are rare, if you can't find and dig up ordinary medicinal materials, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble, and it's not worthwhile at all.

  Jiaojiao looked around with **** and white eyes, and pointed to the big tree in the shade with her little finger, and said in a waxy voice, "Well, sister ~ let's go there to pick."

   "Okay, Xiao Li follows, remember not to touch those unknown weeds..."

   Erya walked in front and asked, and behind Xiao Li picked a few green fruits from somewhere, but it was very bitter to bite, he waved his hand and threw it, covered his mouth and poohed several times.

   Erya turned around when she heard the news, dragged the little brother away and said, "You greedy, don't pick up those green fruits to eat, this season is not ripe yet, be careful of diarrhea."

There don't seem to be many people walking here. As the air gets more and more humid, the grass in front is as tall as half a person. While looking for the Ganoderma lucidum, Jiaojiao vigilantly emits weak spiritual power to deter the nearby snakes and insects. poison.

   Finally got under the tree, because it was the shady side and there was no sun here, so I felt a bit cold standing here.

  Erya was afraid that the younger sister would catch the cold, so she hurriedly took out the clothes she had prepared earlier from the basket, first wrapped the younger sister in one, then put another on Xiao Li, and finally put on one by herself.

   Quickly took out a sack she secretly hid from the straw hat, shook it away vigorously and saved it for a while to store herbs.

   Erya found a small sickle, looking at the lush vegetation, she couldn't help asking her younger sister excitedly: "Jiaojiao, quickly tell my sister which medicinal materials can be sold for money?"

  The weeds were too high, and Jiaojiao couldn't see the surrounding situation at all. In the end, Erya hugged and raised it high. She looked around, and just noticed the perilla stalk, and found a large field of seven leaves next to it.

  Tian Qi knows that its rhizome is a good medicine to stop bleeding, and those ginseng dealers will also dig it up and sell it for money. It must be more valuable than ordinary herbs.

  Jiaojiao happily pointed it out to her sister, "Sister, the leaf with hairy teeth is Tian Qi, let's dig it!"
