107, Min Min tastes herbs

Min Min ate horse meat and felt like she had spirits. She is a caring person and wants to do something for the bearded company. Because of the lesson of poisoning from eating wild mushrooms last time, there was also a bearded company that ate poisonous plants and killed two people. In addition to insisting on drawing her march route map, Min Min wanted to imitate Li Shizhen to taste the herbs and find a way. According to her feelings, the troops could not get out of the vast primeval forest in a short time.

"Xiaochun, you used to read Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", can you accompany me to taste the herbs and find out some poisonous plants for the soldiers in the army, so as to avoid some accidental ingestion and poisoning", Min Min found Zhao Xiaochun, she wanted to taste the herbs with Xiaochun, so that she could take care of it. Unexpectedly, Xiaochun agreed: "Okay, Minmin, I'll go with you." These two girls have a personal heroism in their bones, not to mention that this is still for their beloved, doing something. Besides, as nurses, they have no work to do, lack medical treatment, and soldiers can only hold on when they are sick or infected with wounds.

As soon as he arrived in the valley, Minmin's hand was scratched by a plant with jagged leaves. The plant had small white flowers with five petals and stamens like cotton swabs plucking ears. "Oops, Xiaochun, my hand is cut, you come and see what kind of grass this is." Xiaochun ran over in three steps, and when she saw it, she shook her head and said, "Minmin, does it hurt?" I don't know this kind of grass either, and I don't seem to have seen it in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". How do you feel? Min Min smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I feel a little dizzy and want to vomit." In fact, they don't know what to do, this kind of grass has never even been seen by Li Shizhen back then, and her scientific name is "Bad Woman". If a person or animal is accidentally cut by its leaves, it will cause numbness, dizziness and nausea, and shock for a short time, but it will not kill anyone.

Fortunately, Min Min only scratched a little, and there was nothing wrong for a while, and the two walked cautiously, paying attention to the surrounding plants as they walked. "Hey, what is this? Xiaochun, look, it doesn't look like a bamboo basket", Min Min shouted in surprise. Xiaochun walked over and took a look, and said poorly: "I know this, its scientific name is giant pitcher plant." Before Xiaochun's words fell, a big spider slowly landed on the "basket" of the giant pitcher plant, and the surface of the "basket" quickly secreted a yellow liquid like honey, the spider's slender feet were stuck with yellow mucus, and they couldn't move, and slowly the body parts were also stuck with the mucus, and the spider's big belly was firmly glued. "This giant pitcher plant relies on mucus to get food, it's very scary", Xiaochun looked at the spider's painful appearance, and said with palpitations, Min Min wanted to retreat, she said: "Xiaochun, let's go back, even the plants in the primeval forest are so terrifying."

"Okay, then let's go back now", Xiaochun has read a lot of books related to plants, and knows that there are many unknown risks hidden in plants. She looked at Minmin, but Minmin didn't move, she thought of the bearded man and the hungry soldiers in the bearded company. After a while, she was attracted to a few lilac plants, which were beautiful and fresh. Like celery, it has tender leaves and tender stems, and small pink and white flowers bloom on it. I guess it tastes good. Min Min didn't think about it, she didn't ask Xiaochun, she picked the lilac stem and a few small pink flowers, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her tongue and mouth became numb after a while, and she quickly spit out the residue in her mouth. It's late, and a small portion has already been swallowed.

Xiaochun saw Minmin's body shaking, and immediately ran over, and immediately understood when he saw the plant in front of Minmin. Min Min ate a plant called water poison hemlock, which tastes crisp and tender. But it is poisonous, which can anesthetize the central nervous system, induce epilepsy, etc. If you eat too much, you can lose your will, atrophy the muscles of your whole body, and even lead to death. Thankfully, Min Min only ate a little bit and vomited it right away. But it was already a little poisoned, Minmin's eyes were very blurry, and Xiaochun in front of her swayed left and right in front of her.

"Minmin, are you okay? This is water poison hemlock, and the toxin is quite strong" Xiaochun paused, she found a new situation, and was speechless for a moment in surprise. I saw that there was a plant growing next to the water poison hemlock, the scientific name of this plant is poison hemlock, which is more like the celery we often eat, and often grows in damp places. Unlike water poison hemlock, it is more poisonous and is notorious in the West for poisoning the sage Socrates.

Poison hemlock contains poison hemphylline, a toxin that can paralyze the respiratory system of a poisoned person and eventually kill a person. What poison hemlock has in common with water poison hemlock is that they are both members of the carrot family. "Minmin, fortunately you ate water poison hemlock, if you eat this poison hemlock, I'm afraid you will ......" Xiaochun didn't want to continue, for fear of scaring Min Min. Min Min had already come to her senses, she took a few deep breaths, and said to Xiaochun while panting: "It seems that there are really a lot of famous plants in the plant, I want to tell Company Commander Qiu to ask his company to try to eat those plants that know the temperament of the Tao, and try not to eat indiscriminately."

Later circumstances proved that Min Min sacrificed himself to taste a hundred herbs, and from then on, no one in the company of the bearded Qiu Company Commander died because of eating poisonous plants by mistake. But death still followed them like a shadow.
