Chapter 31: Snow Lotus Herb
Who knows how long the two of them walked, but finally they reached the foot of the Luoying mountain . Bai Zhi was so tired and hungry . The egg she had eaten this morning has already been digested . Her stomach was now feeling empty . Her mouth was dry . As if there was a fire inside her throat .
Hu Feng pointed to a gra.s.s road not far away from them: “There is a small stream over there, you can wash your face and drink water . ”
As soon as Bai Zhi heard there was a water, she immediately swallowed her saliva and ran quickly towards the direction . At the end of the gra.s.s area, a clear water stream could be seen . Bai Zhi drink a few mouthfuls of water . After drinking and washing her face, the cold stream water made her feel refreshed . Bai Zhi sat on the gra.s.s area behind her and said: “If only we could catch two fish in this stream… …” Bai Zhi just opened her mouth, but her stomach groaned .
At this time, Hu Feng also washed his face and got up, then said: “Let’s go, let’s rest again later, we can’t go up the mountain at noon . ”
Bai Zhi angrily sighed and got up, she lifted up her feet to go, but her eyes swept to the crooked plants behind her b.u.t.tocks that looked unusual . It looked the same to the little yellow flowers to the roadside, but also looked like a snow flower .
Bai Zhi lifted her foot and looked at it . She took a few stepped closers and stopped: “Wait . ” Then, she abruptly stood up and walked over to the little yellow flower that looked like a snow flower .
Hu Feng also turned back and frowned: “Don’t tell me that this wildflower is a herbal medicine . ”
Bai Zhi smelled the little yellow flower and smiled: “You guessed it right . These little yellow flowers are herbal medicines . I think I’m the only one who knows and understand the use of this . ”
Hu Feng slightly lifted his handsome eyebrow: “Are you here alone?”
Bai Zhi raised her head and smirked: “It’s wrong of me to say that, it’s us . ” In order to transfer the topic, Bai Zhi busily pointed her finger towards the little yellow flowers and said: “This little yellow flower is a herbal medicine, it’s roots are even better and taste good . ” Then, Bai Zhi quickly unloaded her bamboo bag and took out her small shovel to excavate . However, she only dug for a while, but she’s almost out of breath .
Hu Feng saw that she was very serious about digging . She doesn’t look joking at all . So, he crouched and took the shovel in her hand: “You take a break, I will dig it . ”
Bai Zhi could no longer continue, so naturally, she hurriedly sat down and take a break .
With Hu Feng’s strength, after digging three times, he soon dug out the flowers with the roots .
Hu Feng then pointed his finger to something lying in the soil and asked, “And this?”
Bai Zhi took a glanced and nodded her head quickly . Her face become bright: “Yes, yes, also this . ”
Bai Zhi stretched out her hand and picked up the dirty thing like sweet potato .
Hu Feng asked: “Is this also wild sweet potato?” Those things looked very similar to the black things he had dug from the mountains .
Bai Zhi shook her head and took one to the river to wash it: “This snow lotus herb is also called yacon . Yacon is very delicious, you try and taste it . ” Bai Zhi handed the washed Yacon to Hu Feng . Then, she took and washed another one .
Hu Feng smelled the yacon . The yacon smells bad, so he frowned . “Can you really eat this?”
Bai Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hu Feng . She was hungry . She wanted to eat first before she explains things to him .
After asking Hu Feng to hand over the dagger to her, Bai Zhi peeled off the skin of the yacon fruit and cut a piece and then eat it . Seeing this, Hu Feng swallowed his saliva .
Bai Zhi cut off the half of her yacon fruit and handed it to Hu Feng: “You eat this first . ” Then, she peeled off the skin of the other yacon fruit in his hand .
Hungry ghost and G.o.ds were really poor . Perhaps, he was so hungry and almost starving to death, so he didn’t think that the half yacon fruit in his hand, was already stained by someone else’s saliva… …
