"I'll go with Xiu, carry more back!" Mu Xiaocao heard that the mushrooms were still far apart, so she took off her apron and planned to go with her.

"Hey, sister, no need, the mountain is dangerous. Just take care of your mother and brother Pan at home. Let's not talk about it, Brother Chen is still waiting for me." Mu Xiucai was unwilling to take someone to stare at her. Mu Xiu grabbed the bamboo basket and ran away. Zhou Shuilian's helpless voice came from behind, "Be careful."

When Mu Xiu ran to the foot of the mountain, Chen Xuhui was already waiting there. Seeing Mu Xiu, Chen Xuhui took the lead in walking into the mountain, and Mu Xiu followed closely behind.

The back mountain is called Hulu Mountain. It is named because it looks like a gourd. Hulu Mountain is very high, but it is not a cliff. The undulating mountains make Hulu Mountain look majestic.

It is already late autumn and early winter, and the leaves on the mountain fall into a thick layer, the dead grass and branches are also lush, and some are very tough and sharp.

Mu Xiu was wearing thermal underwear inside her worn-out clothes. It was fine to have a thick dress, but her hands were accidentally cut red by the sharp grass leaves, and there was still a little blood. She pulled her sleeve down to cover her hands so that she would not get scratched again in a while.

"Hey, is it... sea buckthorn in front?" Mu Xiu glanced sharply at clusters of orange-yellow fruits not far away. Although the sea buckthorn tree is called a tree, it does not grow tall, but is as high as a bush.

"You said life-saving fruit?" Chen Xuhui looked at Mu Xiu's gaze and saw strings of fruits hanging there.

"This is called a life-saving fruit?" Mu Xiu asked curiously.

"Don't the village call it that way? A few years ago, when the famine was severe, everyone had no food and looked for food all over the mountains. This life-saving fruit could be picked more than ten pounds by picking it. After eating it, it could be fooled to the stomach and not starved to death. These wild fruits matured in early November and tasted sweet this season. Thanks to our way far away, the life-saving fruits close to the village had been picked long ago, and somehow there were still here." Chen Xuhui stepped forward and slapped it in his mouth. While eating, he wondered how Mu Xiu didn't know this.

"It's so sweet." Mu Xiu realized that she had asked the wrong thing. She chose to ignore Chen Xuhui's gaze. She also picked one and gently blew the dust on it and put it in her mouth.

It was so sweet, much sweeter than the sea buckthorn she had eaten before. Mu Xiu kept handing on her hands, then she stroked another handful, put it in her hand, and started eating.

This sea buckthorn fruit has a high nutritional value and contains a lot of vitamin C and carotene. After Mu Xiu traveled over, he basically never sold the fruits. She could eat fruits in space, but other people in the family had never eaten any fruits. Now that I found this, I just picked it back. Everyone can take some vitamins after eating them.

"Brother Chen, let's take all of these off."

"This thing is not put in place, and it has been picked too much. It will rot in a few days when you go back. After drying, only the skin is left. It tastes bad. I have tried it before." Chen Xuhui had thought about storing more food, but in the end it was broken and he had to throw it away.

"I know how to store this." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"How to do it?" Chen Xuhui asked with his eyes shining. He was paranoid and fanatical about everything he could eat.

"In fact, it is best to store it in winter. Choose a dry and ventilated place, pile up the fruits, sprinkle some water, and if the temperature is low, it will freeze the next day. Then cover it with a layer of firewood. When you want to eat, take it out and soak it in hot water and you can eat it."

"But it's still early to freeze, so I can only use another method. Put it in a pot and boil it hard, boil it into jam, put it in a dry jar, and dig it up when you are hungry. It tastes good and can fill your stomach." Mu Xiu recalled the storage method he knew.

"You know a lot about Mu Xiu, so let's pick it off first and try it." Chen Xuhui was an action-oriented person and immediately took out the cloth bag and started picking it.

Mu Xiu was the same, but she secretly put it into the space while picking it.

The two people quickly picked the tree, and the number was quite considerable. There were about 5 kilograms hidden in Muxiu Space, and there were about a dozen kilograms in the cloth bags brought by the two people.

"Come on, I'll carry it. When you go back tonight, you'll make it. Let's divide it evenly." Chen Xuhui put the life-saving fruit into the bamboo basket and continued to walk forward with Mu Xiu. Along the way, he encountered many life-saving fruits deep in the woods, and both of them would stop and pick them.

The trees were getting taller and taller, and they were getting deeper and deeper. "Brother Chen, come quickly, there is a piece of 37 here!" Mu Xiu looked at the back of the tree on his left in surprise, shouting loudly at Chen Xuhui walking forward.

Panax notoginseng powder is very effective in treating hypertension. Grandma Mu Xiu used to eat it often, and Mu Xiu was also exposed to it frequently.

Mu Xiu's voice was too high, and Chen Xuhui was so scared that he rushed to Mu Xiu in three steps and five steps. He covered Mu Xiu's mouth with his hands and whispered to her: "Don't make too loud, be careful to cause danger."

Only then did Mu Xiu realize that in the mountains, you must be cautious in everything. If the loud noise brings danger, it will be more than worth the loss.

Mu Xiu nodded quickly and said that he knew. Chen Xuhui let go of his hand. But when Mu Xiu's face left, the warm and humid touch also disappeared. The touch felt really good, just like the white flour steamed buns that my mother stuffed him during the Chinese New Year when she was a child, soft and tender.

Chen Xuhui thought of his own mother and immediately woke up. "Spang" Chen Xuhui patted his head, what was he thinking!

Mu Xiu walked over. It would take at least three years for the wild phenanthrene to grow. The environment for growth requires three parts of yang and seven parts of yin. Mu Xiu dug out a phenanthrene and wiped the soil clean. He was so secretly happy. Any one of them was 20 phenanthrene. After decades, it would be difficult to have such a big wild phenanthrene. It is worth a lot of money. Although it can be exchanged for money at present, the price will not be too high.

"What is this?" Chen Xuhui didn't know Chinese medicine.

"This is Panax notoginseng, it's a Chinese medicine." Mu Xiu lowered his head and began to dig one by one. When Chen Xuhui heard it was herbs, he was not interested immediately. "You dig first, I'll go ahead to see if there are any rabbit nests or pheasants."

"You can pick some too, you can sell Panax notoginseng for money." Mu Xiu didn't know how much these were worth.

"Just like this, it's impossible to sell something. I don't want it. You can wait for me here." Chen Xuhui seemed to have suffered a great blow before.
