Chapter 31: Retaliation (1)
Not knowing that Duan Sida had taken away her salt, Duan Yixin was busy collecting medicinal herbs. As she walked deeper into the forest, she discovered more and rarer medicinal herbs.
Duan Yixin walked for more than thirty minutes and suddenly stopped in her track. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw dark green leaves sprouting from the stems with a bunch of red berries in the middle. She quickly knelt down and inspected the plants carefully.
After a while, she smiled and said, "Today is really my lucky day. I can even find wild ginseng here."
Duan Yixin took out a small hoe from the bamboo basket and carefully dug out the ginseng. Because the part that contains the medicinal properties is the root, she worked carefully to avoid damaging the roots.
More than forty minutes later, Duan Yixin finally dug up the large ginseng. Judging from the size of the ginseng, it must be at least three hundred years old.
Duan Yixin picked a few leaves, cleaned the soil on the ginseng, then carefully wrapped it with larger leaves and put it in the bamboo basket. Standing up, she massaged her sore waist and legs for a while, then picked up the bamboo basket and continued to look for more medicinal herbs.
After finding ginseng, Duan Yixin discovered another rare plant. She looked carefully at the dark purple flower with green stems and was surprised to find that it was indeed a rare medicinal plant called Bei Mu. The bulbs of Bei Mu are not only edible but can also treat coughs, phlegm, and fever.
Looking at the Bei Mu scattered on the ground, Duan Yixin smiled and collected them one after another. Although Bei Mu is a rare plant that has become extinct in her original world, no one picks it in this world, and it thrives and grows in large quantities in the forest.
When she had harvested a lot of Bei Mu, Duan Yixin decided to look around to see if she could find more medicinal herbs before going back. Having made her decision, she made a mark on a nearby large rock. If she needs to collect more Bei Mu in the future, she knows where to go.
After leaving that area, Duan Yixin continued walking deeper into the forest and found a violet-brown plant with an upright stem. Looking at the plant that was more than one meter high, Duan Yixin took a closer look and saw that there were many seeds on it. Duan Yi was overjoyed when she recognized this plant as Qing Hao.
Looking at the large area covered by Qing Hao, Duan Yixin’s smile grew. Today was a really lucky day for her. After finding Bei Mu, she also found Qing Hao. While both are used to treat fever, Qing Hao can treat malaria.
