After Liu Qingshan helped Viburnum clean up the shrubs and vines around him, he squatted down again, carefully helped Viburnum remove some dead branches and rotten leaves at the roots, and pulled out some thin vines wrapped around the branches by the way.

Don't look at the small amount of work, but it took Liu Qingshan half an hour to finish these jobs.

He took two steps back, looked at the viburnum that had been rejuvenated, and couldn't help but smile.

The previous viburnum grew in the middle of a deserted bush struggling to survive. Now the viburnum, after all sides have been cleaned, it looks like it grows in a large round flower bed.

Well, sure enough, people rely on clothes, and trees rely on soil. After this viburnum monopolizes a piece of land, it actually looks quite good.

The upright branches, the red fruits, and the taste of bonsai really have a bit.

It's a little messy of shapes, if there is only one of these branches, it can become a bonsai upstart.

Well, sure enough, my Liu Qingshan's vision is still very unique, even if I look at such a messy plant, I can see a different beauty from it.

Nodding, proud of his unique aesthetic.

However, at the moment when he nodded, his gaze touched ahead, and another bright red appeared.

Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly picked up a hoe and a woodcutter and walked along the mountain road.

Ha, could it be that there is a viburnum in front of you?

Thinking like this, Liu Qingshan was a little excited.

It seems that the viburnum in the mountains has not yet reached the endangered state, no, it has just been repaired, and another one has been encountered.

He walked briskly forward, frowning the closer he got to the bright red.

Because he found that the bright red in front of him was less and less like viburnum.

Although they are all red, the red color of the viburnum is darker, while the bright red in front is a very bright red.

But if it's not viburnum, what is it?

Liu Qingshan quickened his pace and walked forward, and only smiled helplessly when he reached the bright red.

What kind of viburnum is this, this is just the most common cinnabar root in the mountains.

This cinnabar root also grows on the steep slope on the outside of the mountain road, and like the viburnum, the fruit is red, but the viburnum fruit is darker in color, while the cinnabar root is fresher.

If the size of the two fruits is compared, viburnum fruits are like soybeans, and cinnabar root fruits are like peanuts.

However, unlike viburnum, cinnabar root is an evergreen plant in all seasons, and generally has only one main stem, and sometimes, there will be three or four main rods.

However, whether it is one main rod or three or four main rods, the branches of cinnabar roots are relatively straight and single, and will not give birth to countless side branches like viburnums.

Therefore, the shape of cinnabar root is also quite simple, generally wearing a green hat, wearing a ruby around the waist, and playing barefoot on the feet.

In addition, the cinnabar root fruit can also be eaten, but the taste is far less delicious than that of viburnum. Its skin is bright red, the flesh is white, and there is a yellow pit inside, the pit is about the size of a soybean, therefore, the white flesh is less, and there is no juice at all, and the taste is average, far from being comparable with the sweet and sour juicy viburnum.

However, don't look at cinnabar root as if it has no advantages, but in fact, people are also blindly medicinal herbs.

Its roots and leaves have the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, dispersing stasis and relieving pain, and activating meridians, and is used for symptoms such as bruises, rheumatism, indigestion, pharyngitis and menstrual irregularities.

Cinnabar root is a Chinese scientific name, and in some regions, they are also known as Daluo umbrella, red copper plate, octagonal golden dragon, golden jade mantang, gold manliang and other very meaningful names.

Locally, however, they are known by their native name 'Three Forks'.

As for why it is called such a name, Liu Qingshan does not know.

He only knew that, locally, there were three wild native varieties of cinnabar root.

One is the most common 'green umbrella cover pearl' in front of you.

As the name suggests, the leaves of this cinnabar root are emerald green and grow at the top of the branches, like a green umbrella. The red, pearl-like fruit grows in the middle of the branch, the lower end of the green leaf. Therefore, the mountain people call this most common cinnabar root 'green umbrella cover pearl'.

The second type of cinnabar root is relatively rare, and it is the 'red umbrella cover pearl' that was often used by grandfathers to make medicine in the past.

The red umbrella cover pearl, that is, the leaves of the cinnabar root are red, the same color as the red-backed cabbage, the surface of the leaves is a little red, but the back is all red. This red color is not the same as the red color of the cinnabar root fruit, it is a bit like purple. It can be called fuchsia.

The purple-red leaves grow at the top of the branches, while the bright red fruits still grow in the middle of the branches, and this rare cinnabar root is called the 'red umbrella cover pearl'.

According to Grandpa, the medicinal effect of this cinnabar root is more peculiar than that of green umbrella cover pearls, and the medicinal power is also stronger, so in the past, Grandpa used to dig them up to make medicine.

The third type of cinnabar root is a scarce commodity, called 'pearl cover umbrella'.

This cinnabar root is different from the previous two in that its fruit no longer grows in the middle of the branches, but instead jumps directly to the top of the branches.

Clusters of fiery red fruits are clustered at the top of the branches and leaves, and the green leaves are below the fruits, and at a glance, the leaves of the cinnabar root are like a pair of big hands, holding a large handful of fiery red pearls and gems upward, which looks extremely beautiful.

This cinnabar root is known as the pearl cover umbrella, and it is the most scarce of the wild cinnabar root species.

Liu Qingshan has lived for more than 20 years, and so far, he has seen a pearl-covered umbrella.

That year, I went into the mountains with my grandfather to dig cinnabar roots, and by chance found a pearl-covered umbrella on the top of the mountain.

At that time, Liu Qingshan was still young, but he recognized the baby, and when he saw the pearl cover umbrella, he jumped up excitedly: "Grandpa, look, is that the pearl cover umbrella you used to say?"

Grandpa is old, his eyes are not very good, and he squinted his eyes for a long time before he said leisurely: "It seems to be?"

"What seems to be, it's a pearl-covered umbrella. Liu Qingshan ran as soon as he pulled out his legs, running towards the bright red not far away at a very fast speed.

The cinnabar root was not very large, and it grew tremblingly beside a large rock, surrounded by thicker and stronger shrubs, and some arm-thick vines.

The small cinnabar roots swaying in the sun and the fruits of the branches look beautiful and pitiful, just like Lin Daiyu on TV.

The little Liu Qingshan squatted down, looked at the cinnabar root, hugged his knee with one hand, clenched his fist with the other, stretched out an index finger, and carefully pointed at the bright red fruit growing on the top of the branch, counting them one by two.
