Chapter 549: Hard work pays off
Looking at Su Liben, who behaved like a child, Lin Baicao shook his head and smiled, "Didn't you give him Xiao Shuanghua and Wild Ginseng, as well as your book, that book, what is it, the medical book called "Fuxi Acupuncture Method", this is enough!"
Su Liben followed, "This is different, those things were sent before." β
He has his own principles of life, and it is absolutely impossible to let others pay for him in vain and not earn any benefits.
"Shi Chen is not such a small-bellied person, you think too much. Lin Baicao patted his old friend's arm and said comfortingly.
"Then againβ"
"Wait a minute, Lao Lin, don't move yet!" Halfway through his words, Su Liben's expression became serious, and his eyes focused on the bushes beside him.
Lin Baicao subconsciously held the shovel, it should be impossible to encounter a beast, but this reaction of an old friend was most likely to encounter a poisonous insect.
These poisonous insects living in the deep mountains and bushes are very poisonous, and even some of them, as long as they are bitten, even the world's most skilled doctors, are useless.
Worried that Su Liben would be bitten, Lin Baicao slowly handed the shovel to Su Liben, "Old Su, give you this." β
"Give me this, use a shovel, and the roots will be broken!"
Su Liben went from nervous to excited, ignoring the muddy land, and lying directly in the bushes.
"What shovels the roots?" Lin Baicao was a little puzzled, not knowing what his old friend was talking about.
But when he saw his old friend lying on the bushes, he was shocked, worried that he would be bitten by poisonous insects, so he immediately got up and grabbed the clothes on his waist.
When he tugged hard, Su Liben got up with a smile and held the handful of dirt in his hand in front of Lin Baicao.
On top of the soil, there is a small plant that you can't spot without looking closely.
The roots of the plant are silvery-white, but the flowers that grow at the top are small yellow flowers.
Seeing such a strange plant, Lin Baicao almost subconsciously blurted out, "Silverback Astragalus?"
"Lao Lin, quickly take out that piece of paper from my pocket and see if it's true?"
Su Li didn't dare to move, for fear that if he moved, he would throw the silver-backed astragalus to the ground.
"Good, good. Lin Baicao answered, threw the shovel in his hand aside, fumbled in Su Liben's burlap pocket for a long time, and took out a yellowed piece of paper.
This is what they tore out of the "Herbal Miscellaneous" before they left, and it is said that the painting on it is a rare silver-backed astragalus.
Excitedly flattening the somewhat wrinkled paper, Lin Baicao aimed at the plants on the soil and looked at them carefully.
Su Liben's hands were a little sour, "Lao Lin, that's right, right?"
"That's right, that's right, this is the silver-backed astragalus!" Lin Baicao nodded excitedly, "We haven't seen it for a day and a night, but I didn't expect you to find it so easily!"
As he spoke, Lin Baicao put the paper back in his pocket and looked at the silver-backed astragalus carefully.
"This is luck, since you have found it, then go back quickly, and give this silver-backed astragalus to Shi Chen, so that I can thank him for helping our Su family so much!"
Su Liben smiled heartily, although he was very tired, he was still very happy in his heart.
To be honest, he didn't have any certainty in his heart before he came.
Now I really found the silverback astragalus, I am so lucky!
"This kid will remember your kindness. Lin Baicao nodded at Su Liben and laughed.
The two old men carefully put the silver-backed astragalus into the burlap bag, and then walked cautiously down the mountain.
It was sad to go down the mountain, but there was no danger, and the two staggered down the mountain safely, walked to the main road in the suburbs, and took a taxi.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Su family's house, Su Cheng woke up from his sleep and found that it was ten o'clock in the morning.
He immediately sat up in shock and found that his father and Lin Baicao had not come back yet, and he was so panicked that he couldn't do it.
I haven't seen them since yesterday, which is obviously not a good thing, and even Su Cheng has a bad premonition in his heart, worried that they will encounter some problems.
Shi Chen was woken up by Su Cheng's footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, he felt that the fatigue around him was much lighter.
He came out of the house and looked at Su Cheng who looked anxious, "What's the matter?
"Well, I'll call and ask. β
Su Cheng frowned, glanced at Zhou Ke, who was still resting in the room, walked out of the living room with his mobile phone, and went to the courtyard.
He was just about to make a phone call when he heard two familiar voices coming from outside the courtyard gate.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Baicao, who was messy all over, walked in from the door with Su Liben.
"Uncle Lin, father, what are you doing, why did you get injuries all over your body?"
Su Cheng stepped forward and saw that the clothes of the two old men were in tatters, and there were blood marks on the exposed skin, so he immediately asked with concern.
"It's nothing, let's go in first. Su Liben carried the burlap bag and walked towards the room.
Compared to finding the silverback astragalus, this small injury is nothing at all.
After entering the house, Su Liben placed the burlap bag on the table.
Lin Baicao followed in, and when she saw Shi Chen resting on the sofa, she took off her coat and asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, how are you resting?"
"It's okay," Shi Chen responded, seeing Lin Baicao's arm scratched by thorns, he couldn't help frowning, "Lin Lao, where did you go?
"Yesterday, Lao Su and I went to the mountains a hundred kilometers away and found a good thing. Lin Baicao waved his hand and smiled hoarsely, then pretended to be mysterious and pointed to the burlap bag on the table.
"Huh?" Shi Chen and Su Cheng looked at the table together.
Su Liben wiped the blood stains on his body with a tissue, and laughed loudly, "Shi Chen Xiaoyou, thank you for helping our Su family so much this time, and I don't have anything to give you, so I went outside to find a herb that you once mentioned, I hope it can help you." β
"What herbs?" Shi Chen was puzzled.
He remembered that he hadn't mentioned any herbs to Su Liben, and even if there were, it should be a small shuanghua wild ginseng.
But these two strains, he has already gotten his hands on them.
Su Liben stepped forward with a smile and untied the burlap bag, revealing the silver-backed apostranaceus that was still inserted in the soil.
"Silverback Astragalus?" Shi Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, this herb he was very familiar with, it was the most important thing in this prescription.
"That's right, when I was chatting with Lao Lin the night before, I mentioned that you needed this herb. It just so happened that there was a deep mountain in South Vietnam that was suitable for its growth environment, so Lao Lin and I were ready to try our luck and see if we could meet it. Su Liben rubbed his sore leg as he spoke, "Now it seems that the hard work paid off, and we found it." β
There was no rest for nearly thirty hours, the bloodshot in the old man's eyes was clearly visible, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Lin Baicao on the side, the situation is not much better, and his back hurts.
