Chapter 238: You Are Noble, You Are Remarkable
After finishing their work early, when Jiang Ning returned to Building 5, she couldn’t help but walk over to the nearby lush green land.
The women and children of the Aoyuan community were all busy cultivating the uncultivated land during this half-month.
The corn had sprouted and grown into seedlings.
The vegetables were lush green, and it felt like they could be pulled and eaten in another week.
However, they were reluctant to do so. They pulled out the vegetable seedlings and planted them separately, waiting for them to grow before drying them for food or earning points.
People are very small, but when they put their efforts into something, they seem so powerful.
They not only cultivated the wasteland in the community but also did not spare the outskirts of the community.
The tasks of the patrol team increased a lot, but no one complained.
After resting at home for two days, they decided to go into the mountains to gather wood.
The surrounding mountains had all been cleared, so she had to go to the deeper mountains, which was not simple.
They could only stay overnight in the mountains and return after gathering enough wood.
This time, not only did they bring the dog but also the rabbits.
Still, Jiang Ning only brought the first and second generations, as well as the rabbits that hadn’t grown up yet.
As for those adult rabbits that had reached the weight, they were all killed and placed in the space.
They we’re not killed in front of Xiao Bai and Da Hui, they were carried to the next room.
Xiao Bai and Da Hui can’t speak; otherwise, they would have long been mad at Jiang Ning’s face.
They went through all that trouble, but she only brought the dog brother for fun and games.
Finally, she realized they needed to bring them along!
You are noble and you are remarkable
Important things at home were put into space, the rabbits were put into the trunk, and they set off in the Hummer.
There weren’t many deep mountain forests along the coast, so after much thought, they decided to go to the mountain villa at the intersection of the city area.
Along the way, any forests they saw were barren, and the mountain villas were destroyed in the earthquake.
Looking at the destroyed villas, memories floated in her mind. During the time of flooding, they had come here several times to look for supplies. The fish they had stored were still in the space and almost three years had passed unconsciously.
Things change, people change.
Carrying the rabbits, they climbed seven or eight mountains, and they are panting heavily.
Standing at the top of the mountain, they could finally see the distant mountains that were frozen or sun-dried.
The edge was not safe, so they had to continue walking deeper into the mountains.
After climbing mountains for almost a day, they finally arrived at the deep deserted mountains.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the more they could feel the miracle of life.
Many dead trees unexpectedly have sprouted green shoots under the nourishment of rainwater.
They chose a flat mountain forest and took out their tools to get to work.
Jiang Ning had a chainsaw, while Huo Yishen had a gasoline-powered saw.
The two of them couldn’t help much, but they couldn’t just stand idly by, so they were sent to patrol the high ground.
So, Doudou took the binoculars and squatted on a big rock with the dog, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
The forests they cut were dead, and those sprouting green shoots were left to live a few more days.
They were not lazy people. They only stopped when they felt like most of the mountain forests were gone. When the sun went down, they started cutting off the branches in the twilight and storing them in the space.
They didn’t let any branches go to waste. They bundled them all up and threw them in. They could be used as firewood later.
The work wasn’t finished, but the sky was already dark.
Originally, they wanted to bring the RV over, but what if someone else came to the mountain to cut wood?
Forget it, it’s better to be careful when you’re out, so they took out the two-room tent.
Doudou set up the tent, and Huo Yishen let her practice independently.
Surprisingly, although it was slow, she managed to set up the tent properly.
Under the vast sky, in the deep mountain forest, they turned on the lamp, laid out a sumptuous meal, and rewarded themselves for their hard work throughout the day.
The rabbits also had a reward, fresh grass, and a basin of crispy peanuts. Needless to say, they enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, they sat in the tent and watched TV.
The dog’s eyes were fixed on the tablet, but its ears were attentive to the sounds outside.
It wasn’t just the dog that was vigilant; Huo Yishen had set up obstacles outside the tent, tying bells to fine iron wires.
If someone sneaked in at midnight, they would step on the iron wire and trigger the bells to ring.
Late at night, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was colder in the mountains than outside. After sleeping for half a day, Jiang Ning felt a bit cold. Huo Yishen picked up the thin blanket next to him and covered Jiang Ning with it, not forgetting to send also a blanket to his sister next door.
They woke up early the next day, washed up, had breakfast, and continued the work they did yesterday.
They didn’t cut down entire mountains; any areas with green shoots were left untouched.
After finishing one area of forest, they moved to another.
When they passed through a mountain stream, Jiang Ning’s eyes were drawn to a green plant.
Seeing her squat down to dig it up, Huo Yishen asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“This is honeysuckle.”
It was only a few inches long, and the leaves hadn’t even fully grown. If she hadn’t flipped through the herbal dictionary several times, she wouldn’t have recognized it.
Western medicine was almost gone, and traditional Chinese medicine was nearly extinct. Finding honeysuckle seedlings at this time was not just luck.
She dug it up with soil attached to the roots and carefully put it in her bag.
The mountain stream was relatively humid, and green shoots were gradually emerging from the large areas of withered bushes or grass.
Jiang Ning’s interest in cutting the woods waned instantly. She squatted in the grass and carefully identified them, hoping to find more herbs to plant in the space.
The siblings didn’t recognize herbs, so they continued the wood cutting not far away.
Achyranthes bidentata, catnip, Polygonum aviculare, cynanchum atratum, Schisandra chinensis, motherwort…
None of these were precious herbs, and their medicinal effects were not extensive, but for Jiang Ning, they were already a great surprise.
After squatting for a long time, she found a dozen or so varieties.
At noon, they found a shady spot, called the siblings and the dog over for lunch.
Huo Yishen’s hands were full of mud, and he also grabbed a plant. A faint smile appeared on his usually cold face as he said, “Anning, I found it.”
“What?” This guy was usually so aloof; if you didn’t know any better, you’d think he’d found two boxes of gold.
No, gold wasn’t valuable anymore.
“It’s this plant. It can treat the liver and lung diseases caused by smog viruses.”
He found it under a tree, and it hadn’t grown much yet. It was extremely inconspicuous, and Huo Yishen had to carefully identify it several times before he dared to confirm.
Jiang Ning took it over, stared at it for a long time, and well, how should she put it… Huo Yishen couldn’t remember the name, which was understandable.
Damn, she couldn’t recognize it either!
The seedling was very ordinary, the kind that would be buried in a pile of grass.
After carrying it, she didn’t have time to rest after lunch. She took out the special edition of “Collection of Chinese Medicinal Herbs” she had borrowed from the school library.
Huo Yishen sat beside her, accompanying her in flipping through the medical book.
After flipping through it for almost an hour, he suddenly pointed to one of the pictures. “It should be this one.”
Bro, don’t say it shouldn be, you have to be 100% sure, or it could be deadly.
Jiang Ning stared at him, feeling like he used to be quite smart, but why was he so dull lately?
Huo Yishen wasn’t very sure. “It looks like it, but I’m also not quite sure.”
Polygonatum cyrtonema, clears the liver and lungs, and kills bacteria. It mainly grows in the southern mountain streams and has high requirements for the growth environment and soil.
No wonder it hadn’t been widely promoted; it was difficult to cultivate.
Jiang Ning compared the actual plant with the picture. The picture showed a mature Polygonatum cyrtonema, and there was no resemblance whatsoever.
“It should be correct. The young plant looks very different from the mature one.”
Seeing this plant, Huo Yishen’s blurry memory gradually became clear. At that time, he had asked the professor and only picked it after confirming it was correct.
However, he always felt that there was a difference between the picture and the actual plant. “Is it possible that the plant has mutated?”
