Chapter 115: Searching for Medicinal Herbs
Lin Tian used a firewood knife to turn over the things under the vines, and from time to time turned out small insects, and a small centipede, which slipped away quickly with its tail.
Under his careful inspection, he saw a few purple and white flowers, proudly blooming.
Lin Tian's eyes were immediately attracted, and he gently flicked the leaves under the flowers to look at them, the leaves were green oblong, and the rhizomes were round and thick.
"This is a wild dendrobium, and it is still blooming!"
Lin Tian was pleasantly surprised, there were a lot of wild dendrobiums on the trees, and its rhizomes could be used for medicine.
The first thing he did was to take out his mobile phone, open the photo album, and pull out the color album of precious medicinal materials he had downloaded.
"That's right, it's dendrobium.
Dendrobium is also known as immortal grass, soul grass, the first of the nine immortal grasses in China, Dendrobium likes to grow in a warm, humid, half-shade and half-yang environment, it is better to grow in the subtropical deep mountain forest, and the wild mostly grows on the loose and thick bark or trunk.
Dendrobium has the effect of nourishing the stomach and rejuvenating the body, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and is often used for fever and injury, dry mouth and thirst, lack of stomach yin, less food and retching, deficiency and heat after illness, yin deficiency and fire, bone steaming and fever, dark eyes, and weak muscles and bones. ”
The more Lin Tian looked at it, the happier he became, and gave Xiaobao a thumbs up.
"Xiaobao has a good eye! Such a secret place can be found by you good things!"
Xiaobao "meowed", his tone was full of tsundere, and he dragged "you know".
This piece of wild dendrobium is a bit tall in the long position, and Lin Tian needs to stand on tiptoe to get it.
He took out a slender knife, stood on tiptoe, and first cleaned the dirt and debris next to the roots to ensure the integrity of the dendrobium.
After cleaning it out, Lin Tian did not put it directly into the back basket, but put the wild dendrobium into the bead space while Xiaobao was not paying attention.
The best place to put fresh herbs is not the back basket, but the bead space. To maintain the vitality of dendrobium, it is most suitable to put it in the bead space.
Lin Tian took out a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead and back, and looked at the time, it had only been less than half an hour since they went up the mountain.
He said to Xiaobao: "Let's continue to search, there must be more than these good things in the mountains." ”
In recent years, because of the fierce beasts on the mountain, not many people in the village have gone to look for medicinal materials. Even if they look for medicinal herbs, they will not go out of the way to deviate from the safety of the roadside, resulting in fish that slip through the net in remote places.
Xiaobao took Lin Tian and continued to shuttle through the mountains and forests to find medicinal herbs.
It seems to be walking in a disorderly manner, and the route is very casual, but Lin Tian can see that Xiaobao occasionally looks around, sniffing here and there, as if he mainly relies on his sense of smell to find medicinal materials.
Lin Tian attributed Xiaobao's ability to eating a lot of fish that had been improved by spiritual energy, and his physical fitness had greatly improved in all aspects, and finding medicinal herbs had become one of his abilities.
Sure enough, it's right to feed it more fish, what is it to invest in that little fish, there is a return on precious medicinal materials, and it makes a lot of money.
Xiaobao took Lin Tian to the mountain, and the higher he went, the more Lin Tian could feel the temperature drop. He had already prepared himself, brought a coat and draped it over his shoulders to keep warm.
While walking, he enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and occasionally took out a tomato to eat, drink water or something, which was quite pleasant.
In the mountains, they were not in danger, and they did not know if the beasts had not come out to move, or if they had not passed by the place where the beasts were.
There is also a possibility that Xiao Baote took him around the danger zone.
After a while, Lin Tian saw Xiaobao stop again, staring at its feet, and "meowed".
Lin Tian looked at the ground with great interest and saw a patch of weeds on the ground, all kinds of varieties.
Lin Tian couldn't tell what precious medicinal materials were for a while, and after he looked at it for a while, the second monk was confused.
He had no choice but to turn to Xiaobao for help.
"Xiaobao, you can point me out the location specifically, there are too many weeds here. ”
Xiaobao glanced at him, walked closer into the grass, and stretched out his paw to point to a plant in front of him.
Lin Tian looked at this plant a little familiar, it only had a single stem, and it grew a circle of dark green thin leaves, and there were countless small green fruits growing on the top of the pole, which were in a radioactive shape.
"How does it feel like ginseng? Except for the green color of the fruit, everything else really looks like it. ”
Xiaobao "meowed" at him and shook his head slightly, breaking his delusion.
"It's not ginseng, what is it?
Lin Tian couldn't tell what it was, so in the end he could only take out the chart and compare it.
No wonder I mistook ginseng, which belongs to the same genus as ginseng.
Panax notoginseng, also known as Tian Qi, Ming Qi, and Seven Leaves, is a ginseng plant of the family Pentaceae. Its rhizome is used as medicine, which has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain, expelling phlegm and relieving cough, replenishing weakness and strengthening, and has a therapeutic effect on tuberculosis and hemoptysis, fall injury, cough and phlegm, and weakness after illness. ”
Lin Tian took out a knife and a small brush, and carefully dug Sanqi out of the soil.
There are seven or eight notoginseng trees here, and Lin Tian dug up five trees, leaving the smaller three trees for it to continue to reproduce.
This is the rule for them to go up the mountain to find medicinal herbs, leave the seeds, and not kill them all.
"The heads of these notoginseng are big, there are more than 20 sanqi in a catty, not far from the 'Seven Kings', and the quality is good!"
After digging Panax notoginseng, Lin Tian was in a good mood, and he still put Panax notoginseng into the bead space.
Lin Tian looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock, and he said to Xiaobao: "It's almost like this today, I'm going back to eat at noon." ”
If he didn't go back sooner, his family would be suspicious.
Lin Tian found a vacant space, sat down on the wood, and took out a small bowl for Xiaobao to drink.
The clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, he took out a clean dress from the back basket and changed it, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw something that made his eyes light up.
"Isn't that a mountain?"
With that, he walked over.
I saw that in the low jungle, there were many mountain trees, which were full of purple fruits, one by one hanging on the branches, which was very attractive.
The moment he saw the mountain, Lin Tian thought of Bai Ling, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
It's funny to think about, when he was a child, he knew Bai Ling, because Bai Ling ran into the mountains to pick mountain food and ran into a wolf.
At that time, Lin Tian rescued Bai Ling, and Bai Ling had palpitations, but he still remembered her mountain tree, and blamed herself for scattering all the mountain trees when she was running.
"A surprise for you. ”
Since then, they have rarely eaten the mountain tree, and most of the mountain trees grow deep in the mountains, and they do not go out of their way to pick and eat in the mountains.
Lin Tian shuttled through the mountain forest, picked all the ripe mountain trees on the branches, and put them in the back basket.
Xiaobao watched Lin Tian run around and felt bored, it lay on the wood, yawning lazily.
Lin Tian put most of the basket on his back before stopping.
When he was picking, he tried a few, and for a while, the memories of picking wild fruits and eating them in his childhood returned, which was the taste of childhood.
"If you can plant a few trees, you don't have to go to the mountains, you can eat them often. ”
