Ernie took a bite of the bun and said quickly, "I'll go with you. The injury on your hand is okay. My mother told me to keep an eye on you.
If there are clothes and shoes that need to be washed or things that need to be carried, let me do it. "
Su Qiao quickly stopped. "No, you walk too slowly and have little strength. You can't keep up with my footsteps, but it will delay my time.
And I won't go far, just dig some common herbs on the mountainside and come back. "
"Then be careful yourself."
Ernie could only watch as she walked out of the yard quickly.
Lowering her head and scanning the small white cloth bag in her hand, she patted her forehead in frustration. "Oh, I forgot to give this bag to her."
"Forget it, the tooth powder will have to be installed in three days anyway."

Su Qiao did not go to the mountain in the north this time, but to the mountain in the south.
Her purpose this time was not just to dig for herbs, she also wanted to find the pine tree she found in the southern forest when she was eight or nine years old.
Resin has a wide range of uses. It is one of the raw materials for making resin soap. Steaming it with alkaline plant ash can make the resin soap less likely to crack during the cleaning process.
It can also be used as papermaking glue to play a bonding role during papermaking.
The paper produced is highly water-resistant, preventing ink from soaking, and can also improve the strength and smoothness of the paper.
Resin can also be used in the ink printing industry as a color carrier to increase the adhesion of ink to paper.
In short, it has many uses.
She was lucky enough to still have the pine forest in her memory.
Probably because no one has picked it for a long time, there is still a lot of resin on the tree stem.
Su Qiao put Back Basket down and started climbing the tree.
Break off all the ready-made light yellow crystals on the tree trunk and fill a full third of Back Basket.
Then she asked 444 to monitor the surroundings, took out her sword from the space, and cut the pine poles of each pine tree.
After cutting every tree pole 'covered with bruises', she quietly left.
"It's a pity that there are no plastic bags or small buckets. Otherwise, we could just cut the bark a little and catch it directly."
[Don't be dissatisfied, you've done so much at once, just smile!
Besides, if you hang a plastic bag or a small bucket on each tree, are you sure that no one will notice?]
Su Qiao picked two palm leaves and put them in Back Basket: "That's right."
Forget it, there are a lot of pine trees here anyway, they will be there again after a while.
For the next time, Su Qiao concentrated on digging for the herbs she was looking for, until it was almost dark and Back Basket was full, then she quickly ran home.
Fortunately, she is now in good physical condition and strong enough, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion by this time.
[Why don't you find a place to quietly dehydrate it, grind it into powder and then carry it back?]
Su Qiao looked at Xiaosi as if he was a fool. "Grind it into powder and carry it back. What will you say when they ask?"
She came out secretly last time, and the number was so small that they couldn't find her at all, but this time it was different.
There are so many pairs of eyes staring at it.
Besides, she couldn't come secretly forever.
[It only takes two or three days. How do you dehydrate these herbs?]
And after dehydration, it has to be ground into powder and then prepared according to the proportion.
"Isn't there a kang at home? I put these herbs in the kang and drying them should be fine."
Even if it couldn't be dried, it would be completely feasible for her to do some tricks in the house.
Su Qiao has already thought of everything.
If not, she would have gone to those pharmacies in town to buy finished medicines.
The reason why I didn't go was that it cost a lot of money to buy the medicine, and the second reason was to prevent anyone from finding out the formula.
