Chapter 475 Riding the Tiger South
Chapter 475 Riding the Tiger South
After having a good meal and drinking, the four of them decided to visit the Chinese medicine farm.
Sister Xiang stood at the door, put her hand on her mouth and whistled four times.
Then four "Awoo" and "Awoo" sounds were heard, and four tigers appeared in the open space in front of the door.
Tongqian found Xiaobai and Xiaohua at a glance and said, "Let's ride on the tiger for a ride. Now is not the harvest season, and many medicinal herbs have not sprouted yet." Sister Xiang said and let Xiaobai carry Tongqian.
Tongqian tentatively climbed onto Xiaobai, Gu Keai climbed onto Xiaohua, and they both climbed onto the other two tigers.
The four tigers started to move. Tongqian stood stiffly, looking at Gu Keai who was ready to jump at any time, and then at Sister Xiang who was natural and casual. She gestured to Gu Keai and asked him to learn from Sister Xiang.
Gu Keai couldn't help but smile, feeling amused at her own alertness.
With Sister Xiang around, these tigers are just sheep.
The four of them rode on tigers and headed south toward the Chinese medicine field.
Now is the time when the earth is reviving, and many plants are beginning to sprout. "It would be beautiful if we came in autumn, and we could also harvest fruits." Sister Xiang added.
"Let's take a quick look. I'm not used to riding this mount." Tongqian felt that he could not enjoy this mount.
"Just relax, Xiaobai is the most stable one." Sister Xiang comforted Tongqian.
As they were talking, they had already walked several hundred meters. "Are these all Chinese medicinal herbs? They look like they are about to sprout." Tongqian asked, looking at the uneven dead branches of Chinese medicinal herbs in front of him.
"There are alfalfa, mugwort, and Artemisia capillaris all around. There are angelica, ginseng, adenophora, astragalus, as well as Cistanche deserticola, Polygonatum sibiricum, and so on." Sister Xiang is talking about the treasures in her Chinese medicine farm.
"So many!" exclaimed Copper Coin.
"Look at the peonies over here, the peonies are starting to sprout." Sister Xiang said, pointing to a patch of tender buds not far away.
"I can really see the red buds." The copper coin also felt the breath of spring.
"In the autumn, you can eat raspberries, schisandra chinensis, and various wild fruits here." Sister Xiang is looking forward to this land.
They were halfway around the Chinese medicine field at this time. "This is the master's grave. He chose the location himself and only allowed me to visit it on Qingming Festival." Tongqian saw the master's tomb at this time. It was still made of stone and was located on a flat ground near the top of the mountain in the east.
They stopped in front of their master's tombstone, and Little Bai and Little Hua let out two "woops".
"Little Bai and Little Hua know how to guard their master's tombstone. They will continue to guard it when I'm not around." Sister Xiang said after hearing Little Bai and Little Hua's howling.
"Let's go east and see the mountain spring. There is a spring flowing now." Sister Xiang was directing the march of the large army again.
"Okay, let's go check the water." Copper Coin agreed immediately.
Xiaobai's body tensed, and Tongqian grabbed the fur on its neck and bent down. Xiaobai jumped a few times and came to the spring. "I want to come down." Tongqian shouted.
Xiaobai seemed to understand her words. He lay down all of a sudden, put his legs on the ground, and jumped down all of a sudden.
The three of them also jumped down and watched the spring water in the mountain stream flowing, forming many different streams along the sometimes steep and sometimes flat mountain.
Looking at the clear spring water gives people a refreshing feeling.
They continued to walk down along the spring. Green grass had already sprouted on the banks of the stream. Sister Xiang had a shovel and a bag in her hands, and she kept bending down to dig wild vegetables.
"This is shepherd's purse. At this time, you can eat even the roots. This is Allium macrostemon, also known as wild garlic. Does it look like garlic? The whole plant is delicious at this time." Sister Xiang explained patiently while watching Tongqian staring at her while she was digging vegetables.
"Did you grow up eating these wild vegetables?" Tongqian couldn't help but ask.
"These wild vegetables are delicious. We will stay here tonight. I will make shepherd's purse dumplings for you. They are delicious with wild garlic." Sister Xiang said excitedly.
Tongqian listened to Sister Xiang's words and couldn't help wondering what it felt like to live in the mountains at night. Without Sister Xiang's ability to tame beasts, how could ordinary people sleep well in this mountain where wild beasts were rampant?
Anyway, they had a place to stay tonight, so they slowly admired the stream. Liu Jinhai was using a long branch to spear fish in the stream.
Gu Keai went to break off another one, took two forks, looked at a big fish, threw it quickly, then flew to the stream to pick up the harpoon, "We have fish to eat tonight."
He used a harpoon to pick up a big fish weighing two or three pounds.
