Xie Ying also recognized Wei Ruo and quickened her pace, running towards her.
“Ruoruo!”
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Wei Ruo said.
Xie Jue who came right after Xie Ying also said the same thing: "Yingying did you hear that? Miss Wei also said for you to be careful, this path is full of weeds, dead branches and debris, it would be bad if you fall!"
"I'm fine, you two, don't worry about me." Xie Ying didn't think she would fall, she was amazing!
Then Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo, "Ruoruo, why do you come here?"
"I came to collect herbs from the nearby mountains." Wei Ruo replied, not telling the Xie brothers and sisters about growing mushrooms for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ying's eyes lit up, "The one you gave me last time, Ruoruo, I gave it to my mother, who had it stewed and drunk with the method you mentioned, she said it was effective!"
"It's good if it works." Wei Ruo smiled.
“So I’m going to collect herbs this time too! When I collect them, you can tell me how to use them!” With her successful experience last time, Xie Ying was very motivated this time.
Xie Jue listened in confusion and asked: "Sister, what medicine did you bring back to Mother last time? Is Mother sick? Why does she need to take medicine?"
"This is a girls' matter, I won't tell you!" Xie Ying dragged Wei Ruo aside, deliberately not letting Xie Jue listen to their conversation.
Xie Jue had a headache for a moment, "Sister, we have the same Mother, can't I care about Mother's health?"
"No no no!" Xie Ying refused.
Xie Jue couldn't convince Xie Ying, so he asked Wei Ruo instead: "Sister Wei, tell me what's wrong with my mother's health?"
"Her Excellency has no major problem. Please rest assured, Young Master Xie." Wei Ruo replied.
Xie Ying looked proud and said: "Brother, just give up. Ruoruo and I are in the same boat."
Xie Jue sighed helplessly: "Okay then."
Xie Ying pulled Wei Ruo up the mountain while chatting with Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo asked Xie Ying: "By the way, why are you here?"
“You forgot, my family has a private courtyard nearby. My brother and I came here to visit, and then we went to see the surrounding areas.”
Xie Ying was an active person, so she was bored staying at home all the time.
Now that Xie Jue was here, she looked for an opportunity and asked Xie Jue to take her out.
After walking for a while, Wei Ruo found some ‘seven leaves, one flower’ plants.
Wei Ruo picked them like treasures.
“Ruoruo, what is this?” Xie Ying asked curiously.
"This is called the ‘Seven Leaves One Flower’ plant, also known as Chonglou, and it's a good antidote to snake venom. You can see that it's very recognizable. Generally speaking, there are seven leaves in a circle, and there are also six. This plant is quite difficult to find, but I didn't expect to be so lucky today, and I saw it when I went up the mountain." Wei Ruo explained.
Xie Ying carefully noted it down, Xie Jue on the side also listened attentively.
Xie Ying then went around and found a similar one. She quickly called Wei Ruo over to identify it.
"Yes, this is a seven leaves one flower plant."
After receiving a positive answer from Wei Ruo, Xie Ying carefully dug up.
After digging out a complete plant, she proudly showed it off to Xie Jue: "Older brother look, I dug it well."
"Well, my sister dug the most beautiful one." Jue Xie baselessly praised her.
There was no need to doubt that his sister was bound to be the best.
Even if she was simply digging up a herb, it was bound to look better than the ones dug by others.
After Xie Ying dug up the seven leaves one flower plant, she ran to see Wei Ruo picking grass from the ground.
"Ruoruo, isn't this weed? Why are you picking it?" Xie Ying asked.
“Ruoruo!”
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Wei Ruo said.
Xie Jue who came right after Xie Ying also said the same thing: "Yingying did you hear that? Miss Wei also said for you to be careful, this path is full of weeds, dead branches and debris, it would be bad if you fall!"

After walking for a while, Wei Ruo found some ‘seven leaves, one flower’ plants.
-'seven leaves, one flower' plant. As described, the plant usually has seven leaves in a single whorl. A second whorl with four or five leaves sits above it and a spider-like flower grows out of its center, sending out long, thread-like, yellowish-green petals.
Wei Ruo picked them like treasures.
“Ruoruo, what is this?” Xie Ying asked curiously.
"This is called the ‘Seven Leaves One Flower’ plant, also known as Chonglou, and it's a good antidote to snake venom. You can see that it's very recognizable.

Ah foraging is a wonderful pasttime and a helpful way to connect with nature. Always remember to be careful of your surroundings or what you pick up. And don't be greedy, you don't need to take all of it! Leave some for other foragers and the plants, and animals in the forests. They all thrive off the plants there as well!
