No matter how Michelle described it, she still ate all the wild cherries, packed up the garbage, packed them in a black plastic bag, and put them all into Li Qingyun's backpack.

Li Qingyun didn't want to pollute this untouched mountain, so he suffered some losses and put the garbage in the "backpack". In fact, when his hand is inserted into the backpack, he takes it into a small space, does not take up weight, and waits for the return to the mountain, and then disposes of these household garbage.

When he walked to the halfway up the hill, Li Qingyun now has a few flowers and plants with oblong leaves on the side of the road, which are somewhat familiar, with a height of about twenty or thirty centimeters, the main stem of the grass is like a sugar cane, cylindrical, with branches, the overall color is emerald green, very watery, and the leaves have a thick fleshy feeling. There are yellow-green flowers on the top of the neck of the straw stem, the stamens have purple stripes, and the petals are slender, which is very delicate and spiritual.

"Huh, I seem to have seen a photo in my grandfather's pharmacy, saying that it was purchased by a foreign pharmacist, and the price was quite expensive. What is this herb called?" Li Qingyun half-squatted beside these herbs, frowning and pondering.

Michelle walked a little slowly, and when she saw Li Qingyun squatting there looking at things, she also leaned her head over, and after a glance, she exclaimed in surprise: "This is dendrobium, it is rare, the price in the international market is extremely high, comparable to gold, dozens of yuan per gram." Of course, I'm talking about the sun-dried medicine, which seems to be called what maple is called. Along with ginseng, it is one of the major medicines in China. ”

The international common name of Dendrobium officinalis is a string of medical names, derived from Latin, which is very difficult to understand. Li Qingyun listened to her a few times, but he didn't understand what she meant. However, the general meaning is heard, saying that this herb is very expensive, and it is like gold in the international market, and it needs to be processed before it can be turned into a medicine.

Saying this, Li Qingyun finally remembered that this is the first place in the nine immortal grasses of "Daozang", also known as black knotweed. After frying, the color is golden, like a layer of metal skin, and because it is twisted into a ball when frying, the finished product is called an iron maple bucket. The artificially planted iron maple bucket made of dendrobium officinalis can be sold for 30,000 to 50,000 per kilogram in the market, as for the wild iron maple bucket...... Hehe, you can't buy it with money, and the price is incredibly high, and it has long been listed as a third-class protected plant by the state, and it is illegal to harvest it privately.

The best wild Dendrobium officinale is in Yandang Mountain, and there are only a very small number of wild Dendrobium officinale in the Sichuan and Shu regions, which is even less common than wild ginseng. Its growth environment is easy to be confused with other weeds, and it is not easy to distinguish, if it were not for Li Qingyun's sharp eyes, it would not be possible to see it when passing by this gravel slope.

There are three of them growing well, each with a clump of fluffy grass stems that look to be several years old. Li Qingyun didn't care how many levels of protection it was, he excavated it directly, wrapped it in a plastic bag together with the soil from the roots of the dendrobium, and then wrapped its branches and leaves, and put the three plants together in the backpack.

Michelle's eyes straightened when she saw it, and she shouted, "You treat dendrobium like this? Just wrap it around and put it in your backpack? If you drop the leaves and break the grass stalks, can you still eat it? Can you still sell it?"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful to protect them. These three trees look not small, but in fact, after being made into an iron maple bucket, they can be sold for tens of grams at most, and they can't sell for much money. You should have heard that my grandfather is a famous doctor in Qinglong Town, and if you give these herbs to him to deal with, maybe you can grow them at home and help more people in the future. Li Qingyun made up an inexplicable reason, in fact, when he put it in the backpack, he had already transferred it to a small space.

The two bald men in the small space had already been cleaned up by him, and he didn't dare to touch anything else except eating fish. So, if there is something new to put in it, it is absolutely safe, there is nothing to destroy.

Michelle said dissatisfiedly: "Wild is wild, artificial cultivation is artificial cultivation, and the two cannot be confused." Wild Dendrobium officinale has adapted to the environment in the wild, transplanted to the home, it will definitely not survive. And we have to stay in the mountains for a few days, and when we get back to the bottom of the mountain, they will have already died, how can you still plant them? Or, when we cook in the afternoon, put them in to cook soup and drink them! I have long heard that it has the effect of nourishing yin and beautifying the face, nourishing the stomach, and if I eat it, maybe I can become more beautiful. ”

"Hehe, if you want to eat, you can say it clearly, why bother going around such a big circle? Don't worry, if you cook on the fire in the afternoon, I will add some branches and leaves of Dendrobium to the soup. ”

"No, don't get me wrong. I didn't want to eat it, I just thought it was something we co-founded, and I hadn't eaten fresh dendrobium, so I really wanted to taste it. ”

"......" Li Qingyun has no tricks for this foodie, and even wants to taste the herbs. Well, he must admit that he also wants to taste the taste of fresh dendrobium, when he was a child, he drank the water boiled by the iron maple bucket, and the taste has long been forgotten, but he remembers that the fever is very divine.

The two of them talked all the way, and walked to the foot of the mountain very easily, and there were other herbs on the way, but those herbs were very ordinary, and Li Qingyun was too lazy to make a move on them. After all, ginseng and black are the elixirs in Chinese myths and legends, and although Dendrobium officinalis is strong, there are not many legends, and people don't know much about it.

As soon as I reached the flat area below the foot of the mountain, I heard the barking of gold and copper coins, as if I smelled something. Li Qingyun and Michelle glanced at each other, they were both on guard, Li Qingyun handed the sawed seven shotguns to Michelle, he held a firewood knife, and while opening the road, he looked around for suspicious places.

"Look at the ...... ahead" Li Qingyun suddenly pointed to the thorn bushes beside the path in front of him, there were a few strips of camouflage cloth, like the clothing materials on the members of the scientific expedition team.

Michelle's eyes lit up, and she ran over to rip off the strip of cloth and exclaimed, "It's a little wet, it looks like it was hung on it before it rained." If this teammember's clothes were torn, it would be very dangerous in this dark and damp jungle, not to mention that the mountain locusts alone would be enough for him. ”

Li Qingyun shrugged, noncommittal, entering the mountain is a dangerous activity, and there is still danger on the mountain road opened up by hunters, not to mention entering this primeval mountain forest where even hunters don't come.

While it was still early, the two walked forward for a while, and now there are broken marks in the grass and vines on both sides of the road, which should be forcibly broken when the human body is clear, indicating that this person did not bring a firewood knife to open the way. There are traces of the small green kiwi fruit being broken by a stick on the side of the road, indicating that this person has a stick in his hand and is very hungry, and even the newly grown little kiwi wants to eat it. It's only the end of April, and there are still four months left before the kiwi fruit ripens.

The terrain here is low, there is often the sound of small streams on both sides of the road, and the two puppies also saw a sambar deer running in front of their eyes, and wanted to chase it, but they were stopped by Li Qingyun. The forests here are so dense that Li Qingyun feels that the surroundings are very dangerous, and in some areas he can't see the sky at all, and he can't even see the sun setting.

"No, we'll have to find a place to camp, and we're already a little confused. Li Qingyun looked up at the sky and said with some concern.

"The woods are too dense to camp, so let's go any further. Oh, I've got to get the searchlights out. Michelle took out the searchlight headlamp, and just turned it on, but she screamed and screamed, "Ah, there are snakes......!

She threw away the lamp in fright, jumped back, sat on the ground, and screamed at where she had just stood.
