Chapter 470: Millennial Ginseng
After feeding Qiao Yanxue, Xu Dong cut down the trees he brought back into sections, and found a way to build a bonfire.
"Why don't you go over there?" Qiao Yanxue lay in the quilt and asked Xu Dong.
Xu Dong sighed and replied: "The situation is not very good, it is some woods on the platform, if it is like us now, we may not be able to get by." β
But in Xu Dong's previous situation, it was very difficult for a person to go over, and if he brought Qiao Yanxue again, it would be impossible to go over at all, after all, Qiao Yanxue's injuries were much heavier than Xu Dong's.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Dong said again: "You should recuperate with peace of mind, there are a lot of medicines here, and you can still eat and drink for a while, when I can move, I will find a way." β
Qiao Yanxue asked with some concern: "Xu Dong, do you think the two of us will be ...... for the rest of our lives?" will all be stuck here......"
Xu Dong smiled and said: "Isn't it good, there is no intrigue, no worldly disturbances, for me this is a paradise, hehe......"
Qiao Yanxue sighed: "There is a saying that although Taoyuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, you have eaten all this food, do you want the two of us to eat stones here?" β
Xu Dong put a lot of things here, and it may be enough for two people to eat for more than ten days, half a month or a month, but what about after this month?
Xu Dong laughed for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, I'm so anxious to find a way?" β
Who knew that when Xu Dong said this, Qiao Yanxue pursed her lips again: "You can't wait to go out to find your Boss Mu immediately!" β
Xu Donghun replied indifferently: "Yes...... We are here, and I don't know how many days have passed, and I don't know how Boss Mu and them have been? β
"Dulicitous...... Qiao Yanxue snorted, closed her eyes again, and ignored Xu Dong anymore.
"Huh...... I said stay here, you said you didn't eat, I said I wanted to go out early, and you said I was duplicitous, you girls, what are you thinking in your heart? Xu Dong said while laughing.
Who knows, Qiao Yanxue closed her eyes and resolutely stopped saying half a word to Xu Dong.
Xu Dong said a lot, but Qiao Yanxue didn't react at all, Xu Dong came back to his senses, and suddenly became bored again, he laughed dryly twice, took a branch, and fiddled with the bonfire to pass the time.
After that, Qiao Yanxue was hungry, so she asked Xu Dong to get some food, and if she wanted to drown, she naturally couldn't do without Xu Dong, most of the time, Xu Dong just guarded the bonfire, and the branches burned out, so he went to cut some back, and no longer deliberately looked for a way out.
I ate and slept like this, and when I woke up and played, I went to cut down some trees and came back to add to the bonfire, and it went on for four or five days.
On this day, Xu Dong woke up, stretched comfortably, felt a little hungry, and stood up and went to get the cooking utensils and food.
It's just that when he stood up, Xu Dong was stunned, the pain in his right leg was gone, Xu Dong couldn't believe it, and reached out to pinch the place where he had fallen.
The muscles were pinched very painfully, but the bones didn't feel at all, that is to say, the injuries on Xu Dong's legs were all recovered in just a few days.
This made Xu Dong inexplicably happy, and he called "wow, wow, wow", and walked in place again.
Seeing that Xu Dong's injury was completely healed, Qiao Yanxue was also sincerely happy, after this period of cultivation, Qiao Yanxue's several fractures were also much better, and the right hand, which was slightly injured, was not able to use too much strength, but it could move gently.
It's just that Qiao Yanxue was half-leaning against the stone wall, and after watching Xu Dong walk a few steps, her face suddenly became a little unnatural, and she opened her mouth, she wanted to say something, but looking at Xu Dong happily, Qiao Yanxue finally couldn't say it.
Because, Qiao Yanxue saw that when Xu Dong was walking, every time it was his turn to land or lift his right foot, his body would involuntarily shake slightly, as if Xu Dong's right foot was shorter than his left foot, that is, Xu Dong was now a cripple.
Although Cheng dΓΉ is extremely slight, it is called "lame" after all.
Seeing Xu Dong happy, Qiao Yanxue really couldn't bear to tell Xu Dong, but for a moment, she quietly shed a line of tears.
Xu Dong was happy enough, enough trouble, so he cooked a pot of broth and added some other food, which was regarded as celebrating his recovery.
After eating, he helped Qiao Yanxue clean up again, and Xu Dong went to chop wood again with great interest.
In the past few days, Xu Dong will go to chop some firewood every day and come back, for a long time, Xu Dong has also opened a road of more than 20 meters on the steep slope, and the steep slope is also about to come to an end.
When he arrived at the place where he left yesterday, Xu Dong was even more polite, directly took out a stick, swept and slashed, and soon advanced four or five meters away.
And Xu Dong didn't mean to be tired at all, he was going to drive a little way forward, but Xu Dong was attracted by a strange plant above the steep slope.
It is strange because the stalk of this plant is only as thick as chopsticks, and there are six branches around the waist on the half-human-tall plant, and there is only one leaf on each branch, and the leaves are slightly hairy and very soft.
What attracted Xu Dong's attention the most was that in addition to the six branches and six leaves, this plant had a single moss on it, but at the top gathered a cluster of fiery red, red bean-like seeds the size of a fist.
Xu Dong didn't know what the name of this plant was, but after a closer look, the whole plant was shrouded in a hazy red aura, which was very attractive.
Plants that can emit a red breath, needless to say, must be priceless things, and of course Xu Dong will not let them go.
At that moment, Xu Dong directly used a stick to plane a small platform that could stabilize his body, and then he went to mention the plant of this plant, who knows, Xu Dong just touched it lightly, and the cluster of red bean-like seeds on the head of the plant was immediately sprinkled cleanly.
Xu Dong felt very sorry in his heart, such a beautiful little red bean, he should have collected it earlier, took it back to Qiao Yanxue to play with, and it was good to pass the time.
During this period of time, Qiao Yanxue was lying down every day, except for occasionally fighting with herself, there was really nothing else to do, with these beans, there was more or less a kind of fun.
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but put down the plant, lowered his head and slowly looked for the red beans that he had touched on the ground.
Looking around, he almost even cut a layer of soil on the ground, Xu Dong only found about 20 grains, and the rest was probably rolled down to the bottom of the cliff.
Xu Dong put away the beans, and then looked at the plant, only to feel that the red breath on the plant seemed to be broken from the ground, and there was only a small layer of breath on the plant, but looking at the roots, it seemed that even the soil here was dyed with that kind of breath.
Xu Dong felt very strange, what kind of plant is this, how can it have such a breath! What kind of thing is under this earth? At that moment, Xu Dong took a look at the range of the red breath and found that the range of the red breath was surprisingly the size of a small round table.
Since it is a good thing, Xu Dong doesn't dare to dig indiscriminately, and if it's a good thing, he may spoil it for himself.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Dong decided to start from the edge of the red aura and slowly approach it, so that he could not spoil that thing as much as possible.
After a few strokes with a stick, the roots of the trees in the ground were entangled, and the stumbling was like a pile of tattered fishing nets, and it was very difficult to plan.
Xu Dong didn't care about this, shaved a few times, then took out the machete, crackled and slashed, and after a while, it was cleaned up in a slippery piece.
Xu Dong didn't worry about hurting the plant, this was only to the edge of the red breath range, and he hadn't reached it at all, but he cut off some tree roots, cut some soil, and changed to the red breath range, and because Xu Dong dug deep, the red breath became thicker and thicker, and it was almost half of the ground.
Xu Dong couldn't wait, but he was cautious, and after a few more gougings, he suddenly saw a "hand"!
To be precise, it is a rhizome like a "human hand", with five "fingers" of different sizes, just like a human hand, but these fingers have long thin whiskers, many thin whiskers, but they are all cut off by Xu Dong when he is digging the soil.
"Ginseng!" Xu Dong exclaimed.
Some time ago, when I was with Yuan Shijin, I didn't talk about ginseng, especially Yuan Shijin talked to Xu Dong, what thousand-year-old ginseng, 10,000-year-old ginseng, that is a very standard human form, if there is such a ginseng in hand, it can almost be said that you will eat and drink for the rest of your life.
Xu Dong doesn't care about what to eat and drink, but he has also heard that ginseng is a great tonic, as for the thousand-year-old ginseng, it is a good medicine that can bring the dead back to life, and now, Qiao Yanxue's body is very weak, take it back to make up for her, wouldn't it be just right.
Knowing that this was ginseng, Xu Dong was excited, and immediately found some of the thin whiskers that he had shaved off, and shaved them more carefully.
After a while, the body of the ginseng was also exposed, and the body of the ginseng was as thick as a child's hand, so fat that it seemed to be blown out, and two roots like arms grew on both sides, which was very cute, but the complete body was not yet exposed, and I don't know how long the ginseng body is underneath.
Xu Dong was more careful to dig the soil, until it was more than a foot deep below, and the body was exposed, and below were two bifurcated roots as thick as thumbs extending down, and the body segment from the head to the leg bifurcation was almost 400 centimeters long, and the two "hands" had been exposed for most of them, and there were five fibrous roots at the tips of the hands that extended into the soil, just like the five fingers of a person.
After digging for another half an hour, Xu Dong was drenched in sweat, and then he completely dug out the ginseng, the whole ginseng was one and a half feet long, the ginseng body was as thick as a child's arm, the roots of the hands and feet were as thick as thumbs, and the tips of the hands and feet each had five roots.
This is really strange, the key is that there is a small root in the middle of the two "legs" of ginseng, Xu Dong looked funny: "This thing is really going to become a sperm, hehe, the little cocks have grown......"
