There are also prey in the mountains, but they are very hard to catch. Don’t go deep into the mountains. I heard from hunters in the village that they saw wolves in the mountains.

As they talked, the two of them walked towards the mountain.

Everyone they met along the way would say hello to Fang Ping, and Gu Wan would also call people following Fang Ping's introduction.

Gu Wan was not proud of her status as a city dweller or an educated youth. Instead, she was very approachable and seemed easy to get along with, which made the villagers have a better impression of her.

"Look, this is duckweed. It can be used as medicine when dried. Pick the tender leaves in the middle before they bloom and blanch them in water to make soup. It's very delicious."

Gu Wan followed her gaze and looked at the wild grass at her feet that was as high as her calves. The leaves were semicircular, but they were a little dark purple, which made them look a little special.

Otherwise, it was really no different from the weeds she usually saw.

Seeing Fang Ping had already bent down to pick it, she hurriedly tried to pull it out.

Although this wild vegetable looks tall, its root system is not very thick, so it can be pulled up lightly, and the roots will not even bring up much soil.

Just shake it gently and the dirt on top will fall off.

There are not many duckweeds in this area. According to Fang Ping, there are many wild vegetables on the mountain, but few people understand the medicinal value of this wild vegetable. If you want to eat it, you need to blanch it in water, which is a bit troublesome.

If you don’t blanch them in water, they will have a strange smell, which is why you can see wild vegetables growing so tall at the foot of the mountain.

Otherwise, it would have been pulled apart long ago and would not have grown so tall.

Because this herb has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, it is a very practical herb for ordinary people, so Fang Ping pulled them all and put them into the backpack.

Gu Wan didn't bring anything with her. She came along this time, firstly to kill time, and secondly to learn how to identify these wild vegetables.

Now that we are here, those things in the space will definitely be consumed one day.

"This is Tianmingjing. After processing, it can be used to kill parasites for children. But you must not eat it. It is poisonous if it is used directly in cooking without processing. Although the toxicity is not very strong, it will make you writhe in stomachache."

Fang Ping's elder generation were all traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the area. As for Fang Ping's generation, since there was only one child in the family, their medical skills were passed on to Fang Ping.

But in that era, living was tiring enough, so where would one find enough time to study and research medicine?

Fortunately, Fang Ping has stayed at home for so many years and understands some basic difficult and complicated diseases, as well as the identification and preparation of medicinal herbs.

That's why he became the barefoot doctor in the village. Barefoot doctors were not very common in those days, and even if they had the medical skills, they were only half-baked.

In some places, the educated youth who went to the countryside studied nursing for two years and were able to work as doctors after going to the countryside.

Not to mention, in some villages, because the elderly are old and know some folk remedies, they have also become doctors, so compared with other places.

The Muli'ao Brigade is really lucky to have a doctor like Fang Ping.

Even several nearby villages didn't have doctors. To see a doctor, one had to either go to town or come to their brigade because of Fang Ping.

If the people from the Muli'ao Brigade go out, other brigades will give them more face.

For one afternoon, Gu Wan followed Fang Ping, walking and stopping, and got to know quite a few wild vegetables and herbs. She didn't know if she was overthinking it.

Every time there was something poisonous, Fang Ping seemed to tell her about it on purpose, and even mentioned the strength of the toxicity.

Even if the two of them walked slowly, after all they only had one backpack, and they soon filled it up and prepared to go down the mountain.

In the past two days, everyone at the educated youth site has been silent because of what happened that night, and some even dared not get up at night.

None of the girls even had the mood to cause trouble for Gu Wan, which made her feel relieved for a while.

In the past few days, no one has been cutting back on the food at the educated youth center, but secretly, Gu Wan has been taking a lot of milk and fruit from the space to eat.

Finally, I no longer feel dizzy so much, and I have recovered a little. Pinching the new flesh on my face, this body is really becoming more and more like my previous life.

Chen Cang only arranged three days for her to collect fish and grass. After all, people would have to calculate their food according to work points in the future. How could they keep getting one or two work points a day? How would they survive in the future?

After confirming that Gu Wan had recovered a little, she was arranged to work in a team again.

Today's task is to pick all the beans. After picking them in bundles, they can be sent to the commune or supply and marketing cooperative.

Not only are beans easy to grow, but each vine also produces a lot of beans.

People in the city were short of vegetables, which were in limited supply, so the village planted a lot of beans, most of which were sent to the supply and marketing cooperative to be sold.

The money will be kept and distributed to everyone according to work points at the end of the year.

Gu Wan was stunned when she saw the endless racks of beans. Although she had seen beans before, she had never seen one so spectacular.

It felt like there was no end in sight, especially after we were assigned a place and went down to the field, we suddenly couldn’t see anyone anymore.

A bamboo pole is inserted under each vine, and the bamboo pole is as tall as an adult male.

The vines of the beans climb up along the bamboo pole. Land is precious, so the beans are planted densely, in rows after rows, with leaves touching each other.

If people go in, they won't be able to see it from the outside.

Picking beans is the laziest job, so every time we arrange it, we work in groups of two, and no two people in a group are in the same group.

The purpose is to supervise each other. If anyone is lazy, work points will be deducted, and the deducted point will be counted as the person who reported it.

These days, apart from work points from farming, there is no other source of income in the village. Work points are money, but also life, in this situation.

Everyone wants to get that extra work point, and naturally no one wants to lose that extra work point.

So few people dare to be lazy.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or influenced by the plot of the original book, but Gu Wan was actually assigned to the same group with Xiao Wen.

Unlike Gu Wan's surprise, Xiao Wen seemed much more surprised. She walked to Gu Wan's side happily, came closer and put her arm around Gu Wan.

Their familiarity made many people look at them sideways, wondering when they became so close.

"Wanwan, that's great. We're actually in the same group."

Gu Wan retracted her gaze and glanced at her, saying coldly:

"If you think it's a good idea, then it's fine, as long as you don't mind being targeted by the educated youths."

After hearing this, Xiao Wen's smile froze, but her hand quietly loosened its grip on her arm and she smiled awkwardly.
