Chapter 104: Hot Springs
Now that they have all entered the white mist, although Pei Yao probably knows what is inside in her heart, she can't help but imagine, could it be that there is an enchantment hidden in it? There are immortals? Will you encounter monsters that protect the treasure?
It's a pity that she thought about it in vain, there was nothing in the white mist except the woods and green grass, and then in the middle of the woods, and before she got closer, she smelled a foul smell, which was the smell of sulfur.
Now Pei Yao was excited, and she didn't try to go inside, there was a sulfur smell in it, and there was a fog, which meant that there was a hot spring!
Ignoring Wu Shu's shout, he let himself wait for him, and rushed into the depths of the fog excitedly, and sure enough, a pool of hot spring pools full of sulfur around him appeared in front of him.
Because the white mist floats upward, but a lock of hot air rises on the water surface near the hot spring, but it can't block the view, and you can see the hot spring pool clearly by squatting down.
Wu Shu, who then ran over, exclaimed: "How can there be hot water here, and it stinks here." ”
Pei Yao stretched out her hand and touched the temperature of the water, the water near the shore was not too hot, looked at the splash rising in the middle of the pool, and said to him: "This is a sulfur hot spring, and many bubbles can cure diseases, and it is good for rheumatism." If you had this hot spring water, you wouldn't have to cut your sister's hair, just wash it twice. ”
"Wow, Sister Yao, how do you know everything, it's really that good, I want to wash it too!" Wu Shu knew that this was a good thing, and he was excited, "But this smell is too bad, it won't be washed off if it hits the body." ”
Pei Yao said with a smile: "This water has no taste, what smells is the sulfur condensed next to it, this thing can repel insects, can also repel snakes, and can also prevent poisonous insects." However, it is not good if people have more contact, and if the amount is less, it is fine. We will go to the yard to bring some to prevent snakes, insects and rats from going down the mountain in spring, and we can also grind some powder and sprinkle it on the road, so that we are not afraid of those snakes and insects when we enter this deep mountain in spring and autumn. ”
Pei Yao stood up, went to the side to find a stick, and tested the depth of the water from place to place, it was probably an arm's length of live hot spring water, it was a good place to take a bath, if you found it earlier, you wouldn't have to take a good bath in winter.
For the past two months, I have been scrubbed with a basin of warm water, and when I think about it like this, I feel itchy all over my body.
But looking at the circle of sulfur stones, she thinks that it is better to bring everyone over next time. By the way, pack up all this sulfur and take a bath, or you will be dizzy in the water.
After squatting for a while, my head became a little uncomfortable, and the smell was too great.
got up and greeted Wu Shu and said, "Let's go, the sulfur here has not been cleared, and it is uncomfortable to stay for a long time, we will come here next time to take a bath and collect sulfur." ”
Walking out of the white mist, the two of them picked up the back basket that was still lying outside and carried it on their backs, Pei Yao looked in a circle, trying to find a way out so that she could climb up.
Before she finished looking around, suddenly her eyes were fixed in one direction, and then in the place where they rolled down, on the slope of about sixty meters horizontally, there was a green leaf, focusing on the red fruits in the middle of the green leaves, Pei Yao wiped her eyes, afraid that she was dizzy and didn't see clearly, but the red fruit was still there and didn't move.
Seeing Sister Yao staring at a position with an unbelievable expression on her face, Wu Shu was also nervous, there were too many emergencies in Beishan today, and he was already frightened.
Pei Yao turned back to Wu Shu and said, "Wu Shu, see if there are a few red fruits there, let's take a closer look." ’”
Approaching the slope, several old thick rattans hung down from the slope, and those few red fruits loomed and hid in it, the slope was too steep to go up, "Wu Shu, do you see that leaf is five leaves and one leaf?" ”
Wu Shu stared at it with wide eyes, "That's right, it's a five-clawed leaf like a finger, what kind of medicinal herb is it or a wild vegetable?" ”
"Ahh That's ginseng! Pei Yao's excited scream scared Wu Shu into trembling, his poor little heart...
"There are so many leaves, it means that the ginseng is not small, it seems that it has been some years, and our family can also have heirlooms!" Pei Yao didn't think about selling them for money, these life-saving things in this ancient period of backward medicine, it is better to save some family funds, don't use them in case of emergency, but you can't buy them blindly!
But if it's more, it can still sell some, and it's useless to have more of this thing.
Pei Yao excitedly chopped off a wrist-thick branch, the branch was cut into the length of her forearm, and one side was cut into a wooden shovel, she was afraid that she would use the machete to pick the ginseng and cut off all the beards.
Sitting down and preparing, Pei Yao pulled the vines hanging down from it, feeling that it was quite firm, just in case, she grabbed the three vines and was about to climb up, "Sister Yao, Sister Yao, what about me, what should I do?" I want to help too. Wu Shu anxiously grabbed the back of her shirt and didn't let her get on.
Pei Yao's black line, is this the legendary dragging, okay, looking at his little face that was about to cry, he pointed above and said, "Can you go up so steeply?" ”
Wu Shu didn't admit defeat and grabbed Pei Yao's wooden shovel, pinned it on the back belt, followed her example and dragged the vines, grabbed two, and climbed up, climbed to the vicinity of the ginseng, gestured that his arm was long enough, and then dragged two vines around his waist, and said proudly: "Sister Yao, come up, it's easy to get!" ”
Pei Yao Waterfall Khan, look down on people. A boy in the countryside climbs a vine, it's a little meaning, just with Wu Shu's previous life, even a big tree that is not easy to climb may not be difficult for him, otherwise if he doesn't look for food everywhere, he can still wait to starve to death?
There was no way, the tools were all snatched, so I could only use that branch to make a wooden shovel, climb the vine, and tie myself to the vine like Wu Shu and fix it.
The two of them first collected the few seeds left on the ginseng, carefully stuffed them into their belts, and then pushed away the dead leaves and rotten branches around them, and began to dig holes in circles about a meter around, just like digging saplings, making the ginseng gradually turn into a big ball of soil.
There are also some too fine hair roots Pei Yao and Wu Shu can't dig clean, after all, they are not professional tools, and it is really not good to focus on hanging on this steep slope, if it weren't for the high temperature of this col and the lack of freezing, Pei Yao felt that they might not be able to dig it out by relying on them.
Looking at the several leaves on the ginseng, she was a little excited, and her strength grew for no reason.
In the end, when there was only a circle of dirt left to connect, Pei Yao used a slightly thinner vine to trap the ginseng's large mud ball, allowing Wu Shu to continue digging.
The last trace of connection was dug up, Pei Yao slowly put down the vine in her hand, and the mud ball slowly fell to the ground, and then the two exhaled and untied the rattan buckle on their body and slid down.
After carefully cleaning up the soil wrapped around the ginseng, and waiting for the ginseng with the thick arm of the child to show its shape, the two of them exclaimed: It's so big!
