Chapter 105 Why is this tree still growing crooked? There is something wrong.

They searched for more than an hour but found nothing. Shen Youyou was very depressed.

She knew what kudzu flowers looked like. They were light purple flowers that grew in clusters, similar to the flowers of wisteria vines. The flowers of kudzu vines grew upward, while the flowers of wisteria vines hung like a bunch of grapes.

She could also roughly tell what the taro leaf looked like, because it had a typical three-leaf compound structure, which meant:

Each leaf is composed of three leaflets, which are usually oblong or ovate.

But at this time of year, not to mention the flowers, even the leaves have fallen off, okay?

Shen Youyou looked around, and all she saw were withered and yellow weeds. The leaves on the trees were also yellow, with a few green spots here and there.

Just when Shen Youyou was feeling a little discouraged, Guo Daya said, "Youyou, wait a minute, I found a piece of medicinal herbs."

Shen Youyou was puzzled. Could medicinal herbs be described as a piece?

She looked in the direction of Guo Daya's finger and saw a lot of vines growing on the opposite slope, with slightly green leaves hanging sporadically on them.

Shen Youyou was startled. Could it be Pueraria root? She jumped out excitedly and ran over there.

Seeing her running over there, Erhu followed closely behind her, and then the others followed.

Just when Shen Youyou was about to run over, she tripped and fell with a "thump".

The fall was quite painful. Shen Youyou turned over and looked at the culprit who tripped her. She felt puzzled as to why the tree was growing crookedly. What was wrong with it?

He kicked it twice with his intact right foot in anger, and Erhu quickly pulled Shen Youyou up. Shen Youyou patted the dirt and hay leaves on her body and did not run away this time.

Her feeling was correct. Her left foot was twisted. It was bad luck. She glared at the tree.

I have never seen a tree trunk growing on the ground. There are all kinds of strange things in the wild mountains and forests. If I hadn't seen that it was a real tree trunk, I would have thought it was a giant python.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where did you get hurt?" Shen Daya looked anxious. Seeing that Shen Youyou was walking strangely, she squatted down quickly and asked, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

"Yoyo, sit on the ground and let Sister Guo take a look at you."

Shen Erya always called Guo Langzhong's eldest granddaughter "Big Sister Guo" and the second granddaughter "Second Sister Guo". Coincidentally, the names of Big Sister and Second Sister were the same as those of the two granddaughters of Grandpa Guo.

Guo Daya also hurried over to help Shen Youyou check. Shen Youyou said helplessly: "It's okay, just twisted a little, it will probably be fine in a while. Sister Guo, is the herb you mentioned Pueraria root?"

Guo Daya was also confused: "What I found is yam. It is recorded in the Shennong's Herbal Classic: It tastes sweet and warm, and is used to replenish the weak and weak, and eliminate cold and heat evil spirits; it replenishes the middle, strengthens the qi, and grows muscles; taking it for a long time can make the ears and eyes sharp, lighten the body, prevent hunger, and prolong life."

The corner of Shen Youyou's mouth twitched. It turned out to be yam. But yam is good too. Stewing yam with pork ribs is good as long as there is a harvest.

In the end, Guo Daya checked Shen Youyou and found that there was nothing serious. Everyone went straight to the hillside. However, there were many vines and yam vines nearby, so no one ran away, for fear of falling like Shen Youyou.

When I got closer, I found that it looked very familiar. It was similar to the yam vine of later generations, but the leaves were much narrower.

"Sister Guo, can this be eaten? As food?" Shen Youyou asked tentatively.

Guo Daya has already started digging with a hoe: "It can be eaten. This can be used as a medicinal food. It must be edible, right? Didn't I say that? The Shennong Herbal Classic records that it can fill your stomach and replenish your energy without starving you."

Shen Youyou patted her head, she was stunned. This was an old piece, why would she try it? "Then let's dig. Congratulations, we found a kind of food."

If you talk about medicinal herbs, people may not be so excited, but if you talk about food, it is definitely different. Even though they know that medicinal herbs can be exchanged for money and are good things, they will definitely dig them if they know them. On the way, they helped Doctor Guo dig some common medicinal herbs.

But compared to the food, it's definitely a little bit worse.

Guo Daya had already dug out a small piece of wild yam head. She then dug deeper carefully, bit by bit, for fear of breaking it.

The others also started to eat, including the four guys Erhu and Erzhuang.

Shen Youyou also took a small hoe and started digging. Her feet still hurt a little, so she just sat on the ground and dug. But digging yam was really hard.

It is much worse than digging bamboo shoots. To dig bamboo shoots, you just dig it directly, but to dig yam, you have to be very careful and try not to break it. But we don’t know why we try not to break it, but we can still eat it even if it breaks.

But I saw other people posting videos of digging yam in the past, and they said that you must not break the yam. That was probably to make it look good, because they are not selling it. Besides, Erhu and the others are heavy-handed and dig fast, and I have seen them break the yam.

It was too tiring, so Shen Youyou didn't care anymore and started to peel the yam. She made the broken yam into powder and could eat it as yam paste in the future. In the cold winter, it was so comfortable to drink a bowl of steaming hot yam paste, which also nourished the stomach.

Guo Daya and Guo Erya really followed their grandfather to dig herbs in the mountains. They dug out a long, unbroken herb that was more than one step long and quite thick.

Wang Taohua looked at Shen Youyou lying on the ground, feeling a little distressed: "Youyou, stop digging, just watch, does your foot still hurt?"

Shen Youyou's head was buried in the pit, and she answered without raising her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm fine, sister, you go back to work."

In fact, it didn't hurt that much. It only hurt for a while at the beginning. It was strange, the tree root or trunk was so thick, thicker than an adult's thigh, how could she not see it!

You really have to be careful when walking in the mountains in the future, or you might get tripped by a giant python one day, or your life would be over.

Finally, Shen Youyou successfully dug out one. Haha, it was longer than the one dug by the eldest sister of the Guo family. It was probably about one and a half steps long.

She stood up, feeling very excited that she hadn't dug it through.

"Wow, that's amazing! You dug it so long!" Wang Taohua had been keeping an eye on her sister and was excited to see such a long yam.

Just after saying this, after digging out the first yam, Erhu, who had decided to mend his ways, also pulled out a yam from the pit, which was longer than the one dug by Shen Youyou.

Shen Youyou didn't feel anything, she put down the yam and continued digging, while Wang Taohua glared at Erhu, making Erhu confused.

The boy touched his head stupidly, not knowing how he had offended Taohua.

In fact, Wang Taohua didn't blame Erhu. She just felt that this man was just as his name suggested, with a tiger head and a tiger brain. As soon as she praised him, he immediately pulled out one. Didn't you see that your sister was discouraged, so you went to dig again.

In fact, she misunderstood. Shen Youyou was not discouraged at all. What was the big deal? She would eat it as usual no matter who dug it.

In fact, Taohua was just worried about her, afraid that she might sprain her ankle and be in a bad mood, so she wanted to cheer her up.

An old patch of yam vine. Although the leaves are yellow and dry, the roots and stems are basically unaffected. At least Shen Youyou and the others can't see any impact.

When Shen Youyou dug out the third root, she actually started sweating in the cold weather.

She took out the water gourd and drank the water in one gulp, and a lot of yellow soil was already on her little face.
