Chapter 548: Silver-backed Astragalus

"I was about to talk about it. Su Cheng patted his thigh and laughed.

He had been thinking about how to speak, Shi Chen had already helped so much, and he took the initiative to ask for a prescription, which seemed a little dissatisfied.

Now Shi Chen took the initiative to say it, which just alleviated his unspeakable embarrassment.

"It's nothing. Shi Chen took the pen and paper handed over by Su Cheng, smiled lightly and quickly wrote down the prescription on it.

"Licorice, Poria cocos, Atractylodes-" After Shi Chen finished writing, Su Cheng excitedly got the prescription, looked at the medicinal materials on it, and asked with some doubts, "Brother Shi Chen, this is an ordinary tocophyllant." ”

"What do you think?" Shi Chen explained with a smile, "It's not too much of a problem, it's just that the toxins that have accumulated over the years are blocking the meridians. Now that I've opened up the meridians, I'm naturally fine. I added a blind thread to this prescription, which protects the meridians. ”

"Haha, blame me for thinking too seriously about the problem!" Shi Chen's words made Su Cheng instantly empowered.

He laughed and carefully folded the prescription and put it in his pocket.

Shi Chen yawned and said sleepily, "One pair every morning and evening, if your physical condition gradually improves, just remove the one in the morning." ”

"Remember, if Brother Shi Chen is sleepy, go to the room to rest. Su Cheng took Shi Chen's words to heart, and when he saw that Shi Chen was a little sleepy, he hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Well, you should rest early, too. Shi Chen nodded, got up and walked out of the courtyard.

In the past two days, he slept in Su Liben's room, and the guest room in the courtyard next door was what Shi Chen should have stayed in.

"I'm waiting for my father and Uncle Lin to come back, and I'm not sleepy yet. Su Cheng turned on the lights in the courtyard and watched Shi Chen walk out of the courtyard.

When Shi Chen's figure disappeared around the corner, Su Cheng returned to the room, recited the prescription repeatedly, and pressed it under the mattress.

Lying on the bed with his hands pillowed behind his head, Shi Chen yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At this time, Lin Baicao and Su Liben were on the deep mountains a hundred kilometers away from the village.

When night fell, the whole mountain was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers, and you could even faintly hear the roar of wild beasts coming from afar.

Lin Baicao threw aside the shovel in his hand, put the flashlight in his pocket, and asked breathlessly, "Old Su, are you sure there is silver-backed astragalus here?"

"There should be, I read the book "Herbal Miscellaneous" before, and I said that the silver-backed astragalus lives in this environment, but it is not easy to find. ”

Su Liben wiped a handful of sweat, his legs and feet were not very convenient, and he walked all day in the rugged mountains, and his waist and legs were a little trembling with pain.

"Then look for it again and try to get it done before dawn. Lin Baicao took a sip of water and picked up the shovel again, and his dry hand shook the shovel rod a few times, as if he was cheering himself up.

Silverback Astragalus was heard from Li Baicao when he learned about Shi Chen's situation from Li Baicao.

Of these three herbs, one has been obtained on the Medical God Cup, and the other has been auctioned at this auction, leaving only the last silver-backed astragalus with no clues.

Yesterday, when Shi Chen was in a coma, Lin Baicao and Su Liben mentioned the matter in a casual chat.

Su Liben suddenly remembered that he had seen a record of silver-backed astragalus in a medical book, and the two old men summed it up and rushed here before dawn.

They wanted to dig out the silver-backed astragalus as a thank you gift to thank Shi Chen for taking the risk to dredge Zhou Ke's meridians.

Su Liben groped his way forward, and suddenly stopped, looking warily at the dense woods not far ahead, which were clearly different from the bushes behind him.

"You can't go any further, not far in front of you are deep mountains, where many wild beasts live. Su Liben lowered his voice and reminded Lin Baicao, "Almost every year, several people from South Vietnam come here to collect medicine and are eaten alive by wild beasts. ”

In the dark night, Su Liben's voice was very low, for fear that he would attract the beast.

With the physical fitness of the two of them, I am afraid that they will become the food for the stomach of the beast on the spot.

Lin Baicao was holding a shovel and a half-drunk water bottle in the other hand, and asked suspiciously, "Doesn't the silver-backed astragalus grow in the deep mountains?"

"It's not like you haven't read that "Herb Miscellaneous", silver-backed astragalus only grows in the bushes on the outskirts of the deep mountains. Su Liben patiently explained, "The soil moisture in the deep mountains is too much, which is not conducive to its growth, but we have explored all the way, but we haven't found it." ”

Silverback Astragalus is a scarce medicinal material that is no less than a small double flower, and it usually only exists in word of mouth.

Not to mention possession, as far as Su Liben knows, there are less than a handful of people who have seen it in the entire South Vietnam.

"Why don't we take a look to the left, and maybe we'll find out. Lin Baicao pointed to the left.

The entire mountain is a semi-circular terrain, and during the day you enter from the far right, and as long as you keep to the left, you can continue to search for bushes.

"Let's go, stop talking nonsense. Su Liben pressed his sore waist, reached out to separate the bushes, and walked to the left with his somewhat sore legs.

Behind him, Lin Baicao followed closely with a shovel, also faltering.

The silent mountain was rugged and difficult to navigate, except for the occasional rustle of leaves blown by the wind, and the low roar of wild beasts.

In addition, there was the hoarse and tired panting of the two old men, and the sound of mud stepping on the ground.

They searched for this for a whole day.

I watched as the bright sky darkened and turned from dark to fish white.

In the wee hours of the morning, Lin Baicao sat on a huge rock, panting heavily.

His arms and thighs had been cut open by weeds, and his clothes had been torn by weeds, revealing his bloodied skin.

For twenty-four hours, the two old men did not close their eyes, and their cloudy eyes were bloodshot.

Su Liben was about to get up, but suddenly his eyes were dark, and his figure shook and fell.

"Old Su!"

Fortunately, Lin Baicao held on in time, otherwise once he fell, he would definitely roll directly down the mountain.

At that time, even if you don't die, you will fall to the point of being seriously injured.

"Old Su, can you still hold on?" Lin Baicao broke one hand on the stone, and grabbed Su Liben's clothes with the other.

"I can't hold on. With this strength, Su Liben slowly sat on the ground, waved his hand and made a hoarse voice.

This day and night of aimless searching, almost killed him.

"I think it's dawn now, and the signal in the mountains is not very good, if they find out that we are missing, they will definitely be very nervous, so it is better to go back and rest first. Lin Baicao handed the remaining small half bottle of water in his hand to Su Liben, "Anyway, we are not in a hurry to go back to Huaxia, wait until we sleep at night and come back to find it, how about it?"

Su Liben didn't drink water, but beat his heart in disappointment, "Alas, you said that Shi Chen helped our Su family so much, if you don't earn any benefits, my old guy's heart is uncomfortable." ”
