Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 36

However, with the money Jiang Yipei asked his boss to buy in Beijing before leaving, he managed to gather a small batch of medicinal materials and stored them in the small pharmacy in the space.

It is enough to treat some minor illnesses caused by wind, cold, dampness and heat.

But the more herbs the better, otherwise it will be almost impossible to find them after the three-month rainy period.

There is no cure for the disease.

Smash Dr. Jiang’s signboard.

"Aunt, here is plantain." Jiang Xiubin shouted, squatted down, grasped the upper part of the root, pulled it out with a few clicks, and then threw it into Jiang Suying's backpack.

Plantain can be found everywhere in the fields. The herb and the seeds have the same function, which can clear bladder heat and benefit kidney qi.

It also has the effect of stopping bleeding. If you injure your hand while doing farm work, chew or mash it and apply it to the wound, the bleeding will stop quickly.

Because there is so much of it, the price is cheap, only one cent per pound after drying.

When the Jiang family was still poor, Jiang Suying taught Jiang Yitao and others how to recognize common herbs.

Like plantain, selfheal, nightshade, shepherd's purse, etc.

Shepherd's purse, many people have only heard of shepherd's purse and Spanish mackerel dumplings, but in fact it is also a medicinal material. The whole plant can be used as medicine. It is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It enters the three meridians of Shaoyin, Taiyin and Jueyin of the hand, harmonizes the spleen and promotes diuresis, stops bleeding and improves eyesight. It can also treat dysentery, edema, gonorrhea, bloody stools, and menorrhagia.

The mountain behind the house is quite large and rich in resources.

There are many wild vegetables and common medicinal herbs.

Bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wild vegetables, pheasants, wild birds, wild rabbits, and even wild boars.

I heard that wild boars are very smart. When they can't find anything to eat in the mountains, they often come down the mountain at night to steal vegetables and chickens to improve their food.

Therefore, except for the hunters, no one in the village dared to go deep into the mountains. They just wandered around the front mountain, picking firewood and wild vegetables. Occasionally, if they were lucky, they could come across wild rabbits and pheasants.

The saying "live by the mountain and eat by the mountain" is not empty talk. This house with its back to the mountain has provided livelihood for generations of Jiangjia Village.

Today we were suddenly harvesting, so there was no one in the mountains.

After Jiang Yipei passed the imperial examination, he no longer had to calculate every penny he spent, and Jiang Suying no longer kept her money to herself. If someone happened to come across her and asked about her salable herbs, she would tell the villagers about them as a favor.

So now the villagers will go to the front mountain to collect herbs. As there are not many herbs at the foot of the mountain now, you can occasionally find some if you walk up.

Now that the weather was clear, the mountain road was relatively easy to walk on. However, as he walked, Jiang Xiumian began to pick something off his clothes and throw it down while walking, with a frown on his face and a look of world-weariness.

"These sticky women are so annoying. They stick to me all over." Jiang Xiubin, who was next to him, was also throwing things as he walked, muttering.

Jiang Xiaomi didn't care at all. It would stick if it did. It wouldn't cost any meat.

"Hey!" Jiang Suying said, "Don't throw it away, put it away. This is Xanthium sibiricum, it can dispel wind and cold, clear the nasal passages, and eliminate rheumatism. It will be useful for colds and stuffy noses in the future."

But you must follow the doctor's advice, after all, it is slightly toxic.

Jiang Xiubin was about to throw one away when he heard: "Is this medicine?"

Jiang Suying herself didn't know this Chinese medicine, so naturally she couldn't teach others.

There is still a certain gap between the ancient Jiang Suying and the modern Jiang Suying. Not to mention the medical skills, just the knowledge reserves are not comparable to hers. After all, Jiang Suying systematically studied the essence of the treasures accumulated by China for thousands of years and has more than 30 years of clinical experience.

The villagers don’t know that Xanthium sibiricum can be used as medicine, and it’s annoying because it sticks to clothes. Even if it is cut, it will grow again quickly. There is a large patch of it in this place.

The roots, stems, flowers and seeds of Xanthium sibiricum have different medicinal values. Since there are too many of them and no one wants them, I will just leave them alone for now and ask someone to bring tools when I get back.

Keep going up.

A large piece of mugwort was found.

Also good stuff.

Warming the meridians and stopping bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain, removing dampness and relieving itching.

Like plantain, crushed and taken externally can also stop bleeding.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household hangs one at the door to ward off evil spirits, avoid plague and pray for blessings.

The clinic accepted them and the price was reasonable, but there were too many patients and the clinic couldn’t take them all, so there was a large area of ​​the mountain covered with patients.

Jiang Suying never thinks it’s too much. When the weather is freezing cold, she boils some water to soak her feet in to drive away the cold. It feels so beautiful.

But there are too many to take away, so let’s wait for someone to come.

There were some harvests of varying sizes along the way, digging up a tree here and there, and Jiang Suying's backpack was already half full.

What’s surprising is that we dug up five Panax notoginseng plants, which is the main ingredient in making wound medicine!

It's worth the trip up the mountain.

Going deeper into the mountains, you can see that there are few people around. There is a path, but it is covered with grass.

Jiang Xiaomi held a sickle and cleared a path while knocking on the grass to prevent any snakes.

"Ouch——" Jiang Xiumian didn't know what round thing he stepped on and almost said New Year's greetings in advance.

Jiang Xiubin, who was behind him, helped him up and found a small orange.

Jiang Suying came over to take a look, picked it up and smelled it, then looked up and found some green and yellow fruits peeking through the layers of green leaves not far away. Her eyes lit up.

Jiang Xiaomi led the way, and the four of them walked up a little further. Jiang Xiubin picked a fruit from the tree: "This fruit looks like an orange, but why does the tree look like this? It's full of thorns? Birds wouldn't dare to come to it to look for food, right?"

"Is it possible that this is not an orange tree?" Jiang Xiaomi held the sickle and pretended, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a trifoliate orange tree."

Then she stopped talking. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she could only look at her brother.

Jiang Xiumian: “…Oh?”

"You don't understand this, right? This is my field." Jiang Xiaomi couldn't help but feel proud.

She is also someone who has done research.

When I was looking up information for the project "Diseases and Prevention of Orange Trees", I expanded my research and happened to learn about the differences between the trifoliate orange tree and the orange tree.

Jiang Xiumian: ...This damn kid, if I had known I would not have bothered her and suffocated her to death.

As the saying goes, things don't match. She could only try to fool Xiaobin, a kid who had never seen the world.

"The trifoliate orange tree is also known as the sour orange. Xiaobin just said that birds don't come to it to look for food, so it is also called the bird-free tree. This is not an orange. Oranges are delicious. The fruit of the trifoliate orange tree is so sour that it kills dogs, but it can be used as medicine, right, mom?"

Jiang Xiaomi held her little head high, and her smug look made Jiang Suying laugh and cry, "Yes, it can be used as medicine."

"Humph!" If Jiang Xiaomi had a tail at this moment, she would definitely wag the wind - she is also a person with knowledge reserves! Who would dare to say that she went to a fake university in the future?

You don’t know how powerful botanists are!

Jiang Suying was extremely surprised to discover the trifoliate orange tree, and she was even more surprised when she saw the yellowish fruits on the tree.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the dried young fruit of the bitter orange tree is called bitter orange fruit, and the dried nearly mature fruit is called bitter orange peel. They are two different Chinese medicinal materials with both similar and different effects.

But Liu's illness required the use of Citrus aurantium, but she did not have this Chinese medicine prepared and did not know if the pharmacy had it. Now she was really served with a pillow.

This trifoliate orange tree is not tall, only about three meters, and Jiang Xiumian can reach the tallest fruit with just a few jumps.

Although she couldn't pick all of them, Jiang Suying couldn't help but pick some to take back. She poured out the Chinese medicinal herbs from the basket, sorted them, tied them up with straw ropes, and placed them on the ground.

We filled the backpacks with the tangerine peels and carried these herbs back with us. Four people each took a bundle, which wasn't much.

"Be careful of the thorns." While tying the herbs, Jiang Suying was worried about the three children who wanted to jump high to pick them.

This trifoliate orange tree is quite old, and has many thick and sharp thorns. It won't kill you if you get pricked by one, but it will hurt.

The two younger ones are fine, but Jiang Xiumian, you are almost fifty years old in your two lifetimes combined.

Why are you still like a child?

Just as Jiang Suying finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xiumian jump high up and then fall down. He was down, but his sleeves were still hanging on the tree. Just as she was about to say something to him, his sleeves were stained red with blood.

"What did I say?" Jiang Suying was furious: "I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen."

She tied up the last bundle of herbs in her hand, then picked up a bundle of plantain and walked towards Jiang Xiumian.

She made her own professional judgment as a doctor - if a person suffered a minor skin injury and bleeds a little more, it would have the same effect if she treated it later. However, if the herbs in her hand were to scatter, it would be very troublesome to clean them up.

It was this mentality that caused her to freeze on the spot before she even approached Jiang Xiumian—

Jiang Xiumian was a little dazed when he was hanging on the tree. He was jumping happily, but how come his feet... almost didn't reach the ground?

——Originally, he didn’t have the mood to play, but Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Xiubin were having so much fun, he really couldn’t help it. Who isn’t a 17-year-old boy?

Now, not only did he not pick a single citron, but he also lost his life.

The thorns on this tree are so hard, it hurts him so much!

Jiang Xiumian cried physiologically due to the pain and he almost failed to brake, but he forced himself to hold the tears back - a grown man of thirty years old should not cry!

But it really hurts!

Wuwuwu——

Jiang Xiubin immediately took off his brother carefully, rolled up his sleeves and took a look: "Hiss... the wound is so long and deep!"

It hurts like crazy, right?

Jiang Xiumian looked at the ten-centimeter-long wound that had already turned outward with a sad face - it was so deep that it needed to be disinfected, even strong liquor wouldn't work, it would require alcohol or iodine, and gauze. Ah, there was no gauze in the space, and if he had to use hemostatic patches... he would have to use eight, right?

Then, alcohol and hemostatic patches appeared out of nowhere in the palm of his injured hand, which Jiang Xiubin was holding. He subconsciously held it before he could react.

With this force, the blood flowed out! It dripped onto Jiang Xiubin's clothes, turning them red.

Jiang Xiumian reacted: "!!!"

Jiang Xiaomi, who saw the whole scene, said: "!!!!"

Oh my God, you really have eyes!

“!!!!!!!” Jiang Xiubin’s eyes almost popped out: “Big…big…big brother! You you you you…”

"Me what?" Jiang Xiumian endured the pain and pretended to be calm. He used his intact hand to flick the box of hemostatic patches into Jiang Xiaomi's arms, then picked up the alcohol: "Didn't you see what your sister Xiaomi put in my hand?"

But they were a little panicked. They had not planned to tell Jiang Xiubin originally, and they did not plan to tell him now. This child was really just a child!

Who dares to say what a child is like?

But now this sudden telekinesis caught them off guard.

What?

Jiang Xiumian looked at Jiang Xiaomi.
