Chapter 101: Old Medicine
A very peculiar plant appeared in front of the fat man's eyes, more than a foot high, and the lower part was a thick cylinder, densely covered with scaly leaves, and the upper part was a spike-like inflorescence, but just about to bloom, it was slightly purple-red.
"It's pretty much the same as the boss described. The fat man's eyes lit up, and he squatted in front of this immortal grass, and finally found that its roots were parasitic on the floating roots of the water melon
The fat man didn't know how to collect it, so he straightened up and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle Sanpao, Uncle boss, I found the immortal grass!"
Soon, I heard the sound of running, and the car owner ran over panting: "Where is it, where is it?"
His gaze quickly fell on the immortal grass: "Haha, sure enough, fat man, I can be regarded as obeying you, how do your eyes grow!"
The fat man humbly heheheed twice: "Hit the luck, uncle boss, how to pick it up." ”
"It's simple, everything will be done with a knife at the root - three cannons, hurry up and give me your leg inserts. The car boss shouted at Wang Sanpao, who was running over.
"I've really found the immortal grass!" Wang Sanpao ran to the front and pulled out the leg plug from the leggings: "Fatty, give me this immortal grass, I will take you with me when I hunt in the future." ”
When the car boss saw him coming, he hurriedly opened his arms and stopped in front of Wang Sanpao: "If you don't bring this, I have already told the fat man." Fat man, don't you want to see the flying fork, and I'll take you to fish when you go back. ”
The fat man smiled and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Let the two of them make a wish, the higher the price, the happier he is. Anyway, these two people don't need money to buy it, and the land promised is what the fat man is more interested in, and the more the merrier.
After arguing for a long time, the two refused to let each other go, and suddenly laughed together: "Okay." Just soak in wine and drink this, won't we both be able to use it!" "Men pay the most attention to that when they reach adulthood, regardless of their age, the wild grass is extraordinary, and it is said that it is second only to the tiger whip. It's much stronger than a deer whip, so it's no wonder that the two of them are fighting.
"And me. "The fat man also joined in the fun.
"You're going to have to step aside. I'll wait until your kid gets married. The two and a half old men said to the fat man together. His face was still full of teasing. The fat man suddenly remembered the first time he drank Wang Sanpao's medicinal wine. It's a sin. I had to shake my head stupidly.
The car boss snatched the leg plug. You have to cut off the weed. Suddenly, I was a little embarrassed: "We have to walk around the mountains for a few days." There is no home. How to brew it. ”
Fat man look at this immortal grass. More than a foot long. There are also three or four centimeters in diameter. Want to soak it. Unless you use a jar of wine. There were two jars of wine in the fat man's wooden box. But it's such a big altar. When you take it out, it's exposed.
"Why don't you wait until you get back?" suggested the fat man.
"No, I can't. The two old men objected in unison. It's not safe to put this precious thing here. In case you call the field to pick wild medicine, get it. The brothers have to repent of their bowels.
The fat man scratched his head, and although he could easily put the immortal grass in a wooden box, he couldn't do it in person. Suddenly, the fat man heard a small sound in the distance, which was the rustle of walking through the grass.
"There's movement. The fat man whispered.
"It is estimated that it is a wild animal, maybe a wild boar or something, there are many of us, and the wild animals do not dare to take the initiative to provoke, it is estimated that they are passing by. Wang Sanpao took the shotgun in his hand, but he didn't nervously pick up the gun, an old hunter can instantly shoot his own bullets and hit the target.
The fat man also took off the shotgun behind him, which was thrown by the three young men who were fighting wild boars, and it was considered a trophy. Although his marksmanship is a bit stinky, basically hitting wherever he is, but it also has a deterrent effect, and the clever wild animals already know the power of the shotgun.
The rustling sound grew louder and louder, and then a shout came: "Friends in the mountains face each other."
It turned out to be a person, the fat man, they walked for a day and didn't see a figure, they didn't expect to meet one here, and usually, in order to prevent the other party from shooting with the wrong hand, they had to shout from afar.
"Put down your sword and gun, and see each other. Wang Sanpao also shouted at the top of his voice, which sounded a bit like a code to the fat man.
"It's also an old runner. Wang Sanpao smiled and put the shotgun behind his back. The fat man estimated that what they shouted was the old saying of meeting and greeting, so he did the same and carried the shotgun well.
"Old Yaozi, it turned out to be you, our brothers haven't seen each other for several years. The car boss greeted him, a middle-aged man in his early forties, carrying a large basket with a large flower basket behind him, which was larger than his head, and carrying a bag in his hand. He is a little smaller than the car boss and Wang Sanpao, and he is also a typical Northeast man, tall and strong, with a bold and honest appearance, what is more special is that this person's face is particularly ruddy and delicate, and his skin is a fight with a fat man.
But it's this nickname that is almost called the fat man, and it is associated with the children's favorite game: "The old harrier catches the chicken".
"Brother boss, brother Sangun, if it's really the two of you, I vaguely heard someone shouting your name, so I touched it. The person who came threw down the bag in his hand, and then grabbed the big hands of the car boss and Wang Sanpao respectively, and shook them vigorously, looking particularly hot.
"Fatty, come and see, this is our old guest on Daqing Mountain, a famous old medicine, the big name is ——。 The car boss introduced the fat man, but he couldn't remember the name of the person.
The fat man estimated that Lao Yaozi was this person's nickname, he was smaller than others, and it was difficult to scream, so he had to step forward and shake hands: "Hello, my name is Huang Liang, just call me fat." ”
"It's really fat, brother, you must have a good mouth, my name is Yue Feng, and I am a wild medicine picker. The man patted the fat man's broad shoulders boldly, and his hands were quite strong.
"By the way, it's called Yue Feng, and I've been calling it for more than ten years, and I've forgotten your name. The car boss snorted a few times, but there was no embarrassment.
The fat man also knows some of the customs here, and he is generally a well-known person who can be called by a nickname. They are all proud of their nicknames. Like Wang Sanpao and Che Boss's son are all in this category. And it is pronounced in the common people, and this Yue Feng is a medicine picker. That's why it's called the old medicine, not the "old harrier" that the fat man understood when he first started.
Yue Feng put down the back basket behind him, and the fat man saw that there were a lot of leaves and grass roots inside, which should be medicinal herbs. However, the fat man can't read the goods and can't distinguish them.
But the bag suddenly moved, and a long, sinky, thin thing bulged out of it, apparently a living thing.
"What kind of snake are you catching, old Yaozi, it's not small, let's finally meet. Have a good drink at night, and this will be a snack. "The car boss is not polite at all.
Sure enough, it was a snake, the fat man had been allergic to snakes since he was a child, so he quickly moved to the side, for fear that the guy in the bag would come out.
"Haha, this is inedible, it's a weighing star. The old medicine smiled heartily.
"It's Black Eyebrows. It's a pity to eat it, so why don't you give it to me, the rat in the town. The car boss couldn't make a plan, and immediately came up with a new way.
Raise snakes and catch rats. The first time I heard about it, what should I do when I get into the quilt at night? The fat man was a little dizzy when he heard it.
"You guy. Every time I receive a gift, I really convince you - do you have a bag on you?"
The car boss turned out a noodle bag in his bag: "Let's make do with the clothes first." Go home and spread it. ”
Yue Feng opened his big bag, and a triangular snake head poked out. The further back it goes, it gets thicker and thicker, like a child's arm, and there are yellow spots on the front half, which is probably why it is called the weighing pan star.
The fat man glanced again, there was a very conspicuous black stripe behind the snake's eyes, no wonder the car boss called it black eyebrows.
Yue Feng stretched out his hand and casually took out the black eyebrows, just like taking a fish.
Good guy, when the snake was pulled out of the bag, the fat man finally saw that this guy was more than a meter long, and his body writhed and looked at the person.
"This snake is not poisonous, is it?" the fat man couldn't help but ask, if he was bitten by a poisonous snake, it would not be a good thing.
"If the weighing pan star is poisonous, who would dare to raise it?" The car boss dispelled the fat man's concerns, and then opened the bag and asked Yue Feng to put the black eyebrows in the noodle bag: "Little guy, stay well, go home and catch mice to eat, and be full." ”
The fat man always felt a little pimple in his heart: "This snake is raised at home."
"Brother Huang used to be from the city, and he was the most docile in the city, and we called it the snake locally. These guys have a strong appetite, a good appetite, and a large appetite, and can eat three or four rats at a meal, and they can't help but catch the rats on the ground, even if they are in the ceiling. When this guy is full, he just takes a plate on the firewood pile or in the corner of the wall, and he doesn't cause trouble at all. If anyone comes to the weighing star, it will be the same as a distinguished guest. ”
Yue Feng also taught the fat man a lesson, since he entered the mountain, the fat classmate is basically a primary school student.
"So that's what happened. The fat man understood a little in his heart, but thinking that with the demand for snake skin and snake medicinal wine, it is estimated that after a few decades, this kind of human and snake family, the scene of living in harmony can only remain in his memory.
"I seem to have heard someone shouting just now that I found the Immortal Grass, where is it?" Yue Feng asked the car boss, because the fat man's huge body was in front of him, so it blocked his view.
The fat man turned to the side, and Yue Feng saw the immortal grass growing on the root of the tree: "It's really there, I came to pick the immortal grass this time." ”
Boss Che and Wang Sanpao glanced at each other, and stood in front of Yue Feng together: "Our brothers have already discussed, for wine, there is no place for you." ”
Yue Feng stomped his feet: "Oh, how much do you eat to strengthen your body, I am used to treat diseases, which one is big and which one is small?"
"Hehe, we don't care about this. "Wang Sanpao finally found an immortal grass, how could he easily say it.
The car boss rolled his eyes: "If you want it, you have to exchange it for something good, I heard that you have half a tiger whip at home, can you give us both a piece?"
The fat man was a little dumbfounded: "What disease can the immortal grass cure?"
"There is a daughter-in-law in our village who has been married for three years and has not given birth to children, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law begged me for this disease. Yue Feng explained to the fat man, and then pointed at Wang Sanpao and the car boss with his hand: "You two old guys, is it extortion, I admit it!"
The three of them are all experts in the mountains, and their friendship is extraordinary, and they were also half-truths and half-truths just now.
The fat man coughed: "This immortal grass seems to have found the land." As soon as he heard that Yue Feng was a medicine picker, the fat man decided to make friends with him.
"Brother Huang, you are-" Yue Feng was in a hurry, his eyes were wide open, staring at the fat man, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was a little anxious, it seemed that he really needed this immortal grass.
"Hehe, brother, don't worry, this grass is my place, but I have decided to give it to you now. The fat man smiled and looked honest.
Yue Feng slapped his high-five: "My good brother, you are really exquisite, don't worry, there will be a place where you can use your brother in the future, even if it squeaks, I will help even if my head arches to the ground."
