Chapter 17 A hundred years of mallets and a thousand years of black body

Li Jiagang Guan wild ginseng is called mallet grass, Li Feng can dig a tree for ten years is already considered a great luck, the mallet is very evil, not all mountains have it, and there are certain rules for environmental selection. Li Feng doesn't understand, the older generation may only have the second master, the fifth master, who has been a hunter, and those who walk the mountain road know.

To put it bluntly, mallet grass is rare to see, extremely precious, as the two treasures of Lijialing, a hundred years of mallet grass, and a thousand years of He Shou Wu. It's a pity that in this year, not to mention a hundred years, thirty-year-old wild ginseng is already the best, and it is a priceless thing. He Shou Wu is quite full of mountains, but unfortunately it is only three or two years, not to mention the human body, the root knot has not come out.

However, the legend is still there, saying that there were once mountain people who found a hundred years of wild ginseng, pulled the red line, and covered it with white yarn. For fear of running away from the baby, this is the case, at night, this mountain man dreamed of wearing a white veil and a red belly pocket doll, crying in front of the house. The mountain people revere the mountain gods, put incense cases, and sacrifice ghosts and gods. Finally, under the guidance of the white-bearded old man, he sent back the ginseng, which was also a happy house, and later there were more ginseng seedlings outside his yard. The man thought that the white-bearded man must be a mountain ginseng spirit who had cultivated to fruition, and those ginseng seedlings must have been the seeds sown by the old man. Later generations pick ginseng, with red lines are mostly stories and legends, and when they see wild ginseng, they always pull the red line.

As for He Shou Wu, he has the name of Lu Xun's old man, and even when he was a child, he dug the corner of the wall in order to find the human form He Shou Wu, and it was a matter of cola. He Shou Wu is not precious, the people in the mountains have some earthwork, dig some stews, replenish qi and nourish blood, and when a woman has menstruation, stew He Shou Wu black chicken soup, or have some use. The earliest legend of He Shou Wu is a person's name, in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, a person named Li Ao wrote in the book that He Shou Wu was a native of Nanhe County, Shunzhou, his grandfather was called Nenghei, and his father was called Yanxiu. His grandfather's real name was Tian'er, and he was frail and sickly since he was a child, and by the time he was 58 years old, he had not yet married a wife and had children. Because Tian Er likes Taoism, he often follows his master to practice in the mountains. One day, he fell asleep drunk on a hillside, and when he woke up, he suddenly found two intertwined vines growing three feet away. It took him a long time to separate the seedling vines, but the two seedling vines soon intertwined again. He felt very strange, so he dug up the roots of the seedlings and brought them home. He asked a lot of people, but no one knew what kind of plant it was.

One day, an old man who was very deep in the mountains came to the mountain, and after looking at the root of the Miao vine, he smiled and said to him, "Since you have not married a wife and had children, this kind of Miao Teng is very strange, it may be a panacea given to you by the gods, why don't you eat it." Tian'er grinded the seedlings and roots into powder, took a penny and sent it down with wine on an empty stomach. After that, I insisted on drinking every day, and after seven days, I thought about men and women; After a few months, the body became very strong. He increased the dosage to two yuan, and after taking it for a while, all the old diseases for many years disappeared, his hair became darker and darker, and his appearance became younger. Later, Tian Er married a wife and gave birth to several sons within 10 years, so he changed his name to "Noh Hei", which means that he was especially capable of giving birth to offspring. His son, Yeon-so, also insisted on drinking the drug, and both lived to be 160 years old.

Yanxiu's son, Shouwu, also insisted on taking this medicine and gave birth to several sons. When Shou Wu lived to be 130 years old, his hair was still very dark. Later, a man named Li Anqi went to Shouwu's hometown to visit relatives, stole this prescription and took it, and the effect was very good. Li Anqi went around talking about the benefits of this medicine, and the name and medicinal value of He Shou Wu spread. With the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, people form fairy grass, eat it to prolong life, and even live forever. The legend is not credible, but the black hair is also rejuvenated, but in fact, the hair is black.

The legend is not true after all, but the hundred-year-old wild ginseng and the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu also have some effects. It's a pity that Li Feng is looking for a wild ginseng that has only been used for ten years, but this is already Li Feng's luck now, it seems that the gods worship a lot, and there are always one or two that are free, click on yourself. Rejoicing is inevitable, leading the puppy fat boy, squirrel hairball, more attentive search, but unfortunately, in addition to a seven or eight years old shou wu, only wildflowers, grass.

"Greedy." Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, people, always under unexpected surprises, forget their reason, and have a fluke heart. Li Feng was like this just now, forgetting his idle heart, he was more utilitarian, and unexpected surprises were not common.

Li Feng called back, the little guy who ran around, walked back on the right path, and looked at the mountains and rocks of different shapes, green, red, yellow and blue colorful, bright but not greasy, eclectic, and randomly embellished. The mountain has aura, looking at the mountain stream and flowing water from afar, under the white waterfall, the sound of gurgling water floats into the ears.

The birds in the deep mountains are singing, Li Feng has a casual heart, looking at the mountains is mountains, listening to the water like water, putting a little leisure, hiding in this quiet and lively mountain forest, forgetting everything outside, not to mention how peaceful his heart is. But in a calm state of mind, Li Feng does not say that he loves mountains and water, or that the wise man is happy with the mountain and the benevolent person is happy with the water, Li Feng thinks that he is not a wise man, not a benevolent person. An idler, an idler, strolling between the green mountains and green waters, sharing a mountain is just quiet and far-reaching.

"Let's go." Nostalgic for the landscape, but not caught between the mountains and rivers, Li Feng picks a hundred flowers, not loves the beauty of flowers, just simply eats and drinks. While picking wildflowers, I played slowly, and from time to time I took care of the fat boy, the hairball, this gadget was playing and forgetting. Always stop-and-go, make a fuss and run, dig into the grass, hunt pheasants, birds, and run into the bushes from time to time. Li Feng took care of it a little, and these two little things disappeared.

Unintentionally, Li Feng looked for a pecan, the sapling is not big, some thin, the mountain tree shelters the wind and rain for the sapling, the flowers and plants support a piece, but also block the sun and rain, no wind and rain, less experience, it is always difficult to become a big material. Digging trees, Li Feng has done a lot in the past few days, but he is extremely skilled, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour for a sapling connected with soil to be collected into the space. patted the dirt on his body, stepped on the red glow of the slanting sun, accompanied by the song of the birds, and went home.

Walking through the bamboo forest, looking at the bamboo shoots of different heights, I thought that I would dig some embroidered bamboo and plant them on the edge of the yard that day to add some greenery to the new house. Only in the space, you can decorate a few trees at will, without too much, disturbing the quiet. The bamboo is too high, regardless of the southeast and northwest winds, Li Feng likes it, but he doesn't cherish it very much.

When he returned from the distant mountains, Li Feng saw that the bricklayer had already packed up his tools and was about to go home, it was already a little late, ten miles away. This time I will ride a bicycle, it will not be dark when I get home, I will eat dinner, wash up, watch TV, and people in the village will go to bed early and get up early. Li Feng smiled and nodded, greeted, glanced at the depths of the peach forest, and did not go in to lead some dusty, leafy, grass foam, puppy fat boy, squirrel home to bathe.

After the hot water, the pot was some, and half a basin was hit, and the two little ones were caught and took a bath with difficulty. I don't know why, for bathing, these two babies don't like it, Li Feng can only come hard, the iron chain is tied to one, and the other is washed. From time to time, dogs barked and rats barked in the whole yard, and even Zhang Lan, who was picking vegetables in the backyard, was alarmed and ran over to ask.

"It's okay, it's too dirty." Li Feng said with a smile, looking at Zhang Lan still holding beans in her hand, and asked with a smile, why do you still sell vegetables if you don't install household appliances tomorrow?

"Hehe, there are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field, I'll pick some and send them to the second master, your uncle, the third uncle's family, their family can't eat yet, your father is talking about things today." It's not their own food a few days in advance, it tastes delicious, and after eating yesterday, the second master and a few people laughed and said that they talked about it with Li Shan. It is no wonder that he praised the vegetable garden for being well served, the vegetables are watery, and the taste is fresh, no, Li Shan remembered it in his heart, remembered this at noon today, and asked Zhang Lan to pick some vegetables and send them over.

"That's right, I'm going to cook, you can send these dishes." Zhang Lan picked a basket of green peppers, beans, eggplants, tomatoes, and loofahs, full of them, dozens of catties.

"Okay." Li Feng took the bag and divided it into three parts and carried it into the village. The second master was weaving a bamboo basket at the moment, watching Li Feng come and welcome him into the courtyard with a smile, and the second grandmother patted her white hand and took the fruit. Li Feng resigned again and again, but the second wife was enthusiastic, and finally grabbed a handful of pecans.

"Second master, my dad asked me to send you some green vegetables to try it." Li Feng said and put a bag on the stone table, took a sip of tea, and refused to keep the second wife to eat.

"This kid." The second master looked at the bag and smiled, not to mention, Li Feng was very careful when he loaded vegetables. The old man had a bad mouth, and he couldn't eat much green peppers and beans, so Li Feng packed more tomatoes, eggplants, and tomatoes to make soup, and burned some old batter. The eggplant oil stew is also soft and suitable for the elderly.

"Second child." Outside the courtyard of the third uncle's house, I saw the youngest son of the third uncle's family, the second child, seven or eight years old, the skin was very solid, and he looked dirty all over his body, and he didn't know that he was looking for birds' eggs, fish and shrimp in the reeds.

"What's the matter, the sun goes down and I won't go home." Seeing that the child was afraid of going home and being beaten, he wandered in front of the door and didn't dare to go in, hehe, Li Feng was deliberately funny.

"Hmph, little brother." The little guy glared at Li Feng very dissatisfied, his little eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know what crooked idea he was thinking.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you home." Li Feng patted the little baby and walked into the yard with the vegetable bag, "Third uncle, third aunt, busy." "It looks like Li Fuqing has just come back from Taolin, washing his face, and the third aunt is washing vegetables and preparing dinner.

"Xiaobao is here, come in and sit." Li Fuqing greeted him and let him enter the hall, and the second child behind him came in, and was seen by his father, glared, and looked at Li Feng, this plan was written down.

"I'm not busy, third uncle, my dad asked me to send some food, hehe from the home, eat a fresh taste." Li Feng watched Li Fuqing take the teacup, grab the tea leaves, and hurriedly waved his hand, he still has one.

"You see, as soon as I said it yesterday, the second brother remembered it in my heart, not to mention that your vegetable garden was really good this year, and yesterday it tasted authentic and fattened. Stay with your three aunts tonight, stir-fry two dishes, and let's have a few drinks. "Li Fuqing is in a good mood, I felt fresh when I ate it yesterday, and a few people mentioned it, and it was very difficult for people to remember it.

"No, there is also the uncle's family, another day, I will ask the third uncle to have a few drinks." Saying goodbye with a smile, he walked past the second child and winked at the naughty monkey.

The village secretary, Li Feng called uncle, was the oldest among his fathers, and he was a good person, and then the old father's class became the village secretary. Li Feng looked at Li Fukui from a distance, sitting under the jujube tree, drinking a little wine, watching Li Feng come over, pulling and drinking a few glasses before letting go. Li Fukui has two daughters who are married, and the youngest son in the family is in his third year of high school, and now he is renting a house outside, and his mother-in-law used to take care of his son, and he was the only one in the family.

Li Feng drank a few glasses with him, there was no way, if it wasn't for the fact that there was something at home, Li Fukui wouldn't let him go. Under the sunset, in the small village at the foot of the mountain shrouded in smoke, the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and the ensemble of birds singing in the distant mountains, but it also has a unique style of singing event.
