She Is Not a Witch Chapter 37: Mountain trip (thanks to Youren Moshang for the silver alliance)

After the festival is over, Lorrain Hill packed up his bags and set off to the west of Yanyazhou in the direction indicated on the map.

This time is different from the past, because there is no wide road on the route, so there is no carriage, and it can only be reached on foot.

Lorland Hill walks through the mountain trails, the sunlight passes through the yellow and red leaves and falls into the forest, forming bright spots with sparse light and dark. At this time, it was not noon, and the cool breath in the early morning had not yet dissipated, and the breeze was blowing on the body, even in midsummer, it still made people feel comfortable.

The tied white boots stepped on the grass blades on the side of the road, and the dew in them slightly wetted the upper, leaving a few crystal dew drops. Some small green round leaves are clustered together, and there are faint white spots in the middle of the leaves. This is the common money leaf grass in the mountains.

The girl walked and looked at this novel world.

When she was studying in Emenas, she had learned a lot about herbal medicine, and the works of Donglong Continent were a necessary examination item for the Walled City Academy.

Because of the different regions, although she has learned a lot of knowledge about oriental earth herbs in books, many of them have not really seen it. Until now, she has only been one-to-one with the knowledge she had memorized.

This is ‘Aesculus conker’, the girl stopped and leaned over to look at the plant hidden behind the tree.

【Eupatorium Aesculus】 (Bronze Grade, Excellent): A more common herbal medicine, it can be used to make medicine for trauma and pain.

She stretched out her hand and pinched it from the joint of the stem according to the method described in the book, and then sealed the fracture with the force of natural sequence to reduce the loss of its medicinal properties, and then tapped the remaining rhizome to supplement Its vitality allows it to continue to grow.

After plucking this herb, Lorrain Hill took it in his hand and looked at it, then took off a small piece of clean leaf, held it in his mouth, and the slight bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue.

It's not very tasty. She stuck her tongue out, then put down the vine wooden box she was carrying. After opening it, she rummaged in it. She took out a small wooden box from the box.

This small box with the big palm was put into her box by Atesi before leaving.

"Little Lacey, let's take it. If you encounter good herbs on the road, you can put them in to prevent decay and loss of medicinal properties."

"This is a must-have for traveling outside. I used to travel in Lei Ze. I saw good things several times, but I didn’t dare to pick them. The loss of medicinal properties after the picking is so distressing, so Later, I went to Wanziqianhonggu and took a few boxes containing herbs."

"This jade box contains high-temperature or violent herbs, and the other wooden box contains low-temperature or mild herbs."

....

"No need to refuse. Although it is relatively rare in the outside world, this is not rare in the big school. I have a few more." After Aithesi finished speaking, Lorrain Hill took it with him.

I don’t want to use it today. Although it’s a waste to use only bronze-grade herbs, it’s better than nothing, the girl thought.

Originally, Lorrain Hill thought that this trip would be boring, but what she saw on the road made her happy.

Because the western part of Yanyazhou Island is close to the Suiyan Mountains, there are many monsters, the mountains are rugged, and the people are inaccessible, so there are more herbs reserved, and few people collect them.

As her footsteps got deeper and deeper, the trails in the mountain roads gradually disappeared, until at last it was completely barren mountains and valleys, without any roads.

The gravel and dead leaves are scattered all over the ground in the forest. The roots of the trees are coiled and moss are scattered. The thorny shrubs covered with thorns cover the gaps under the trees. If ordinary people come in, facing this complicated terrain, even if equipped Complete, overcoming obstacles, can't walk a few kilometers in a day.

However, this light-footed girl walks in the forest, as if walking on a flat road, like a forest elf, gently jumping over various obstacles, very agile.

The pure white dress passed through the layers of woods, still keeping it clean, the wooden box in the hand floated and fell from time to time, as if nothing, following the girl through the complex area.

And what still envy many herbalists is that this girl seems to have a divine help. Even the hidden herbs can be found by her. Perhaps this is a bonus to perceptual talent.

Along the way, she harvested herbs of various sizes, including bronze grade and several silver grade plants, all of which were carefully kept in boxes by her.

When it got dark, Lorrain Hill stopped at a place in the mountain forest where a red and yellow oak tree grew, with a tall canopy, and the space under the tree was clean and flat.

I chose this place because Lorrain Hill perceives dozens of miles of the nearby area, and detects that there is a small spring near here for drinking, so he stops.

After putting down the wooden box for the time being, Lorrain Hill dipped some water first, then leapt up slightly and stood among the branches and leaves of the oak tree. Although the slender branches under her feet were bent, she still carried the weight of this young girl who was as light as cotton. She first picked some oak fruit, and then gently jumped down, landing on her toes and falling among the soft grass leaves.

The fruits of oak trees are similar to those of oak trees, because they are both of the Quercus genus under the Fagaceae family, but their names and shapes are slightly different.

Lorrain Hill put these green oak fruits on her knee skirt, sat quietly by the fire, and carefully peeled off the shell. This is her dinner today.

The sky has been completely dark, the fire in the woods is burning quietly, and the damp water in the dead branches emerges from the cross section as the temperature rises, forming tiny bubbles, which continue to burst and emit bursts of white gas. .

The orange-red flame licked the bottom of the pottery cup, heating the spring water in it, and sometimes the breeze blew in, causing the flame to sway, and also stretched the shadow of the **** the side.

The white and slender fingers peeled off the shell of the acorn, revealing a complete and smooth oval shell. As time passed, the peeled round acorns gathered in the hem of her skirt.

When she was almost able to fill a bowl, Lorrain Hill stopped. She held up the acorns, walked to the clear spring before, washed them carefully, drained the water, and then again Go back to the fire, put the acorns one by one into the boiling pottery cup, being careful not to let the water overflow.

Watching the water line slowly reach the edge of the cup, she also stopped, put the remaining acorns in the box, and waited quietly with her legs in her arms.

Acorns or oak tree fruits contain tannins, which are not good for direct consumption. They are generally suitable for consumption after being boiled in water. This is also one of the oldest foods for mankind.

After a while, seeing the clear spring water gradually change color, Lorrain Hill drained it~IndoMTL.com~ and put it in the clear spring water to continue cooking. After doing this twice, the bitterness in the acorn is removed.

After the acorns are cooked, the outer skin has softened. Pick up one of the peeled acorns and put them in your mouth, and chew them slowly. You can feel a unique soft and sweet taste.

In this way, Lorrain Hill sat by the fire, eating dinner quietly, enjoying this rare moment of silence.

Recently, I've been walking through the city crowd, and it's been a long time since I sat alone by the fire to eat. The flames burning quietly at night seemed to have a strange magical power that attracted the girl, letting her mind and mood completely relax, without having to think about the complicated things outside, and slowly enjoying this peaceful time of her own.

Even if I was a little uneasy because of amnesia, now it has calmed down completely.

Many things and wishes cannot be achieved in one day, and on the way forward, a good rest is also so important and charming, allowing her to break away from the heavy burden for the time being and enjoy the peace of her own.

Until the vast galaxies in the night sky are all over, until the insects and the evening breeze blow, until she enters a peaceful and peaceful sleep.
