Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Unfortunately, this peace and quiet only lasted until 3 pm. Then, Ah Huang let out a miserable cry, which scared Lin Xia so much that her hands started shaking and she almost broke the Panax notoginseng root that she had dug out with great difficulty. Fortunately, only the skin was broken. Lin Xia kept comforting herself that it would not be too late to deal with the broken dog when she got back.

After Lin Xia put away the Panax notoginseng in his hand, the miserable dog barking not only did not disappear, but it was getting closer and closer. Lin Xia looked back and almost failed. The stupid dog's mouth was pierced by two long thorns. No wonder it barked so miserably.

Lin Xia immediately went forward and calmed Ah Huang down before pinching the two thorns with each hand and pulling them out with force. Ah Huang let out another shrill scream, leaving two blood holes that kept bleeding. It must have been quite painful.

Seeing how pitiful it looked, Lin Xia had no choice but to take out the animal medicine and spray it. The effect was immediate. Ah Huang immediately became full of energy and then bit the hem of Lin Xia's clothes, trying to pull her away. It seemed that he wanted her to take revenge!

But why didn’t Da Zhuang come back?

Today's Panax notoginseng collection seems to end here, Lin Xia immediately packed up and followed Ah Huang forward. About 5 minutes later, they came to a hillside and saw Da Zhuang guarding two thorn balls. It was smart, not using its mouth (short mouth) or claws (not long), but holding a branch with its mouth, constantly poking the two hedgehogs, making them unable to run away and could only curl up and stay where they were.

Ah Huang ran up and barked at the two hedgehogs, but this time they didn't dare to bite them. The stupid dog could still be saved after washing.

Lin Xia surrounded the two hedgehogs, wondering what to do. Kill them, she couldn't do anything with the thorns, and take them, she didn't dare to do anything either. She could only search for tools in her own space.

Finally, I took out the backpack, took out a net, and wrapped the two hedgehogs in it, and put them in the backpack. Hedgehogs should have medicinal value. It seems that hedgehog hearts can cure stomach problems, and hedgehog meat can also be eaten. These two hedgehogs are not small, and each weighs more than one pound. I will give them to Dot first and see if he wants them.

Just as she was about to tell them to leave, she saw Ah Huang run to a patch of grass on the hillside and scratch it with his claws. The hole hidden under the grass was revealed. Lin Xia immediately stepped forward and looked at Da Zhuang in confusion, asking what kind of hole was this? It must not be a snake hole. She was afraid of snakes!

Da Zhuang pecked at the backpack behind her with his mouth. Oh, it turned out to be a hedgehog hole. It seemed to be the hedgehog's nest. Lin Xia immediately took out a shovel, pushed Ah Huang away with her feet, and started digging. The hedgehog hole was not deep, only about one meter. It was dug out in a short while. Unfortunately, there was no big hedgehog in the hole, only 5 hedgehog cubs, with light-colored small thorns, curled up like unshelled chestnuts.

Lin Xia took out a small bamboo basket, put soft grass at the bottom of the basket, moved a few little hedgehogs into it, picked up the basket and went home.

Ah Huang was quite indignant about the treatment of the little hedgehog. Da Zhuang rolled his eyes at Ah Huang and cursed in his heart: Stupid dog!

Lin Xia was happily thinking: the two big hedgehogs can be sold to Dortmund if the price is right; the little hedgehog can be seen from Huo An whether he wants it or not. I heard that some people like to keep hedgehogs as pets. Unfortunately, it is not the 15th now, otherwise it might be more appropriate to sell it to the pet merchant class.

These little guys have to be taken good care of, otherwise they won’t be sold at a good price. Thanks to Ah Huang, yes, Ah Huang——

"Ah Huang, you did a great job today. I'll give you something delicious when I get home. By the way, I'll take you to the beach to play frisbee today!" Lin Xia looked down at Ah Huang with a loving face and praised him!

After hearing this, Ah Huang excitedly wagged his tail wildly, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue!

Lin Xia looked at Ah Huang's silly look, and thought of the indispensable contribution of Da Zhuang as a babysitter, so she said to Da Zhuang with a smile: "Da Zhuang, you have worked hard recently. I will give you a snack when I get home. Keep up the good work in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang visibly raised his head and chest out. The feathers that had already grown on his body became brighter, and the comb on his head trembled - because Da Zhuang was shaking his head from side to side as he walked!

These two idiots!

Lin Xia hurried back. After going down the mountain, she came to a three-way intersection. She sent Da Zhuang back to the ranch first, and then put Ah Huang into a pet bag.

Then he rushed to find Dot before the hospital closed. Looking at the two big hedgehogs, Dot was visibly happy. He bought them for 5 yuan each. However, the medicinal value of the small hedgehogs was not high, so Dot did not purchase them.

Since they were at the hospital, Lin Xia simply gave the Panax notoginseng that she had collected in the past two days to Duote, and asked him to help prepare it and make it into an easy-to-use medicine. Duote agreed, and at the same time asked Lin Xia to sell some of the Panax notoginseng to the hospital, and he would give Lin Xia a discount on the preparation fee. Lin Xia readily agreed.

There are a lot of Panax notoginseng in the mountains, and there will be Panax notoginseng flowers next year. I am really an expert at making money!

The total weight of Panax notoginseng rhizomes collected this time was more than 230 kilograms, and after processing it is estimated to be only about 100 kilograms.

Duote said that Panax notoginseng is mainly processed into Panax notoginseng powder, which can be applied externally or taken internally, and has miraculous effects in stopping bleeding, dispersing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. At the same time, it can also be taken as a health product, which can nourish the body and mind, resist fatigue, and promote blood circulation. The way to eat it is also very simple, and it can be used to make tea or porridge.

Lin Xia decided to keep 50 kilograms for her own use, and sell the rest, including those collected later, to the hospital. Dotte was overjoyed when he heard this and gave Lin Xia a very good price.

Including the two hedgehogs, Lin Xia received a total of 32G this time. The Panax notoginseng powder will take three days to prepare. Both parties are very satisfied.

Lin Xia also gave Dot the poisonous mushrooms she had picked recently, but Dot only accepted one. According to the rules of the town, only one gift can be accepted per day.

Lin Xia also discovered that Dot liked all kinds of flowers and plants, and he was particularly fond of poisonous herbs. This might be related to drug development.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Xia put the big backpack back into the space, carried the small bamboo basket and went straight to Zak's cottage on the beach to have dinner with Huo An Zak!

Arriving at Zach's cabin, it was already past 5 o'clock. Zach was out collecting the goods and was not at home. Huo An was preparing dinner. When he saw Lin Xia coming in, he immediately pulled a long face and said, "You always come at mealtime. You really don't consider yourself an outsider, do you?"

Shameless Lin Xia: "Brother Huo, you are so hurtful to me when you say that. I found something so good that I didn't even have time for dinner and came to find you. Since you look at me like this, I'll just leave."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave. Huo An then noticed the bamboo basket in Lin Xia's hand and immediately smiled and said, "Hey, sister, don't worry, I didn't mean that. I meant that you should have given me a heads up beforehand so that I could prepare food to entertain you. Otherwise, my simple meal would be too shabby, right?"

Huo An smiled and rubbed his hands as he stepped forward and continued, "Look, you are always so polite. Just come, why are you bringing anything? I feel embarrassed. Come on, give it to my brother, don't tire my sister out~"
