NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21 Identifying Herbal Functions
Lan Caidi and Jiuxiao Lingyu discussed the renovation plan of the thatched house together. He found that Ling Yu had his own opinions on house construction. If it were placed in modern times, he might be a proper architect.
Renovating the thatched house required a lot of wood, and they discussed going to the forest to cut down some big trees for use. Lan Caidi also wanted to follow them to the forest to see if there were more edible vegetables and plants. She couldn't eat barbecue every day. She was a human but omnivorous, so she had to eat vegetables to cleanse her stomach.
Jiuxiao transformed into a three- to four-meter tall and majestic red lion, with a pair of fiery red powerful wings. The body was covered with thick fiery red mane, like a burning flame. He used the tail of the blue butterfly to Roll it up and place it gently on your back.
The feeling of a little puppy transforming into a big lion is quite shocking. The blue butterfly sits on the big red lion, tightly grasps his mane, and flies to the forest with Jiuxiao.
Ling Yu also transformed into an animal form, transforming into a large and agile leopard. His animal form was almost four to five meters long, tall and agile, with sexy leopard prints all over his body, and a pair of large wings behind him that looked like feathers. It glows with colorful lights under the sunlight.
They came to a large dense forest, and through the gaps between the leaves and branches, they landed on a seemingly flat grassland. The trees here have thick, straight, solid trunks, towering into the sky, and are suitable for use as wood for renovating houses.
Jiuxiao landed and immediately transformed into a human form. The blue butterfly landed steadily in his arms. The little female was fragrant and soft, and looked very comfortable to hold. He held his little sister and looked up at the trees in front of him, then looked down at her.
"Little sister, whichever tree you like, we will chop it down for you, how about that?"
"Uh... Jiuxiao! Good brother, let me down first!"
Lan Caidi felt a little awkward being held by a younger brother, and she wanted to break free from Jiuxiao's arms.
"no problem!"
Jiuxiao agreed simply. He smiled brightly, like a sunny boy, and placed the blue butterfly on the ground.
After Ling Yu landed, he used his sharp claws to clean away the tall bushes around the big tree, leaving a large space.
"Jiuxiao, Lingyu, you guys cut down the big trees here, I'll look around."
The blue butterfly said to them, thinking about whether there were any herbs or edible plants around.
"Little female, don't go out of our sight, it's dangerous in the forest!"
Ling Yu told this brave little female to dare to run around in the dangerous forest. He found that this little female was different from other females. She had many novel ideas and had the courage to try boldly.
"Okay! I'll be near you two and won't leave your sight."
Lan Caidi saw the two of them starting to cut down the big tree, so she started digging in the surrounding grass.
[The host is large. I identified one herb, Agrimony, which tastes bitter, astringent, and has a neutral nature. It has the effects of astringent and hemostasis, cardiotonic, antibacterial, and anthelmintic. 】
When Lancai Die touched an herb with her hand, knowledge about the herb came to her brain. She carefully dug out the grass, remembering its appearance, and found many similar herbs nearby, and put them all into the space.
Styptic grass is a good thing and may be useful in the future. She only knows mugwort. When she was a child, she went to her grandparents' house and her grandfather used mugwort to boil eggs for her.
Relying on her memory, she found another large piece of mugwort. When she first came into contact with the mugwort, Xiao Qi's voice identifying the herbs appeared in her brain.
[The host is large. I identify one herb, mugwort, which tastes bitter, pungent, and warm in nature. It has the effects of relieving asthma and cough, removing dampness and cold, warming menstruation and stopping bleeding. 】
Wow, the recognition function of this space is so easy to use. Lancai Die dug out a large piece of mugwort and put it all into the space. He took it back to find a suitable time to dry the herbs for later use, or exchange them for needed things in the space. .
Thinking of the exchange function of space, she exchanged mugwort with Xiao Qi for a fruit knife and a small shovel, which made it much easier to dig up herbs. She also found several detoxifying herbs one after another and put them into the space.
[The host is large, identify the king of herbs, thousand-year-old ginseng. Its medicinal properties are sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly warm. It has the effects of greatly replenishing vitality, rejuvenating the pulse and strengthening the circulation, nourishing the spleen and lungs, promoting body fluids and nourishing blood, calming the nerves and improving intelligence. 】
Just when Lan Caidi sat down and was about to take a rest, her hand touched the plant next to her, and System Xiaoqi's voice sounded again.
When she heard about ginseng, Lancai Die's eyes immediately lit up. This was a great tonic. She didn't feel tired anymore, so she immediately lay down on the ground and dug up the ginseng carefully.
After spending a lot of time, Lan Caidi dug out a ginseng that was as thick as an arm and held it in her arms happily. She looked at this precious ginseng for a while. The price in modern times is unfathomable. It traveled thousands of miles. She also took this big treasure into the space with a thought.
Jiuxiao and Ling Yu looked at the little female digging dirt in the haystack with her butt stuck out. They just thought the little female was having fun and didn't think much about it, as long as she didn't leave their sight.
Jiuxiao and Ling Yu arranged the felled trees neatly together and tied them with thick vines.
One after another, Lancai Die found ginger, small wild onions, small wild garlic, and peppercorns, all of which were useful ingredients for cooking. She left a small part outside and the rest was included in the space.
Ling Yu took the opportunity to hunt a few pheasants and hares. They couldn't carry the prey that was too big. After all, there was still a lot of wood.
Lan Caidie finally harvested a bunch of big mushrooms next to a tree. After the system Xiaoqi tested that they were not poisonous, he safely put them away in an animal skin bag. Today was a full harvest.
Around noon, they returned to the tribe together with the felled trees and the food they had hunted.
After putting down the wood and prey, Ling Yu did not rest. Instead, he walked directly to the thatched house and began to figure out how to modify the thatched house.
Jiuxiao went to the lower reaches of the stream to deal with pheasants and hares. They called pheasants clucking beasts and hares long-eared beasts. Lan Caidi followed Jiuxiao to the stream. She wanted to find a suitable big stone that could be used as a stone pot. She would make chicken stewed with mushrooms at noon and reward Jiuxiao and Ling Yu. After all, they worked hard today.
"Miss, what are you looking for?"
Jiuxiao watched the blue butterfly looking around in the pile of stones by the stream, while dealing with the clucking beast and the long-eared beast.
"Jiuxiao, I'm looking for any big stones suitable for making stone pots. Thank you for your hard work today. I'll make something delicious for you at noon."
Lan Caidie lowered his head to search and saw a large concave stone. His eyes lit up and he knew it, but it needed to be dealt with.
"Jiuxiao, can you carve the middle of this big stone deeper?"
She looked at Jiuxiao expectantly.
"No problem, this is not easy!"
He walked towards Blue Butterfly with long legs, squatted on the edge of the big stone, exposed his sharp claws and brushed them. For a while, he was dazzled, and a large stone pot appeared in front of him.
Lan Caidi was shocked by the sharpness of the orc's fingernails, which could even dig into stones. It was really extraordinary.
"Jiuxiao, you are too powerful, your orc nails are really capable of doing anything!"
Lan Caidi admired, the stone pot in front of her was exactly what she wanted.
"Sister, these are all trivial to us orcs. The cave we live in is also dug out bit by bit in this way."
Lan Caidi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. This operation was simply beyond common sense in modern times.
Jiuxiao looked at his little sister's expression of admiration and surprise, smiled proudly, and continued to handle the prey skillfully. He must become more powerful in the future in order to better protect his lovely little sister.
