Chapter 375: Into the Mountain
"Lao Dou, Lao Liu, you are a good man, this is roasting me on the fire! You see, the remaining two herbs, I have only heard their names but have not seen their faces! After the old man surnamed Dou said that he wanted to give his medicinal materials to Wang Rui, the old man Chen, who had not spoken on the side, said to everyone with a wry smile.
For the old man surnamed Chen's self-deprecating words, Wang Rui must express his gratitude. Today, he came to this medicinal material allocation base with Duan Zhengping, but the main reason was to fulfill his duty as the chief technical consultant, but when he came here, the technical problems did not appear, but he was able to find most of the medicinal materials of Chenmu Washing Marrow, which was obviously something that Wang Rui did not expect at first.
"Uh...... I dug up this herb at Ling Cuifeng at the beginning of the year, but because I didn't make a move at that time, I put it in the storehouse at home, and I don't know if I can still find it now! Zhao Chenghao next to him pointed to one of the remaining two medicinal herbs, and suddenly said to Wang Rui.
Zhao Erniu, who had been beside him, suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present. And after Wang Rui heard his words, he was even more overjoyed in his heart, after all, he also started to read it, and the remaining two medicinal materials were registered on the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts".
Now that Zhao Chenghao said that he had dug it, how could this not make Wang Rui happy? Therefore, Wang Rui couldn't help but ask the other party about the matters related to this medicinal material, although he didn't know what strange effect the old ancestor Wang Chong left behind was. However, just by being able to engrave it on the imperial plaque, you can see that this prescription has a lot of value. What's more, Wang Rui also felt that this prescription should have a more potential effect from the three-dimensional meridian diagram in the peeping heaven ring.
"Brother Wang, don't worry, I'll go back and find it immediately! As long as the herbs are there, I'll find them for you!" This is also to blame me, if this medicinal material is so important to Brother Wang, I will definitely collect it well. Zhao Chenghao couldn't help but blame himself when he saw Wang Rui attaching so much importance to it.
"No hurry, no hurry! Xie Lu, thank you, Brother Zhao! ”
Being able to find this rare medicinal material is already a great opportunity, how can Wang Rui still blame the other party. So Wang Rui listened to the other party's words. I couldn't help but hurriedly comforted. Just when Wang Rui and Zhao Chenghao were talking to each other. The old man surnamed Chen on the side couldn't help but speak again.
"Xiao Rui, although I don't have these medicinal materials at home, I have heard of this medicinal material, and someone has found it in the back peak of our Ling Cui Peak!" The old man surnamed Chen pointed to the list. The most deceitful herb whispered to Wang Rui.
"Hou Feng?"
"Hou Feng!"
……
The old man's voice just fell. The people present said in confusion or amazement. Surprised, amazed, puzzled and other looks. Shining on everyone's faces. Everyone is from Nanxi County, although they are not from the same Cuiyang Township as Wang Rui, but they still know about Ling Cuifeng's situation.
Lingcuifeng is a famous ecological scenic spot in Nanxi County. It also has unique scenery and characteristics. It has strange and dangerous scenery, rich medicinal materials, and is also bordered by the largest primitive ecological forest in Shu Province, which adds a heavy weight to Lingcuifeng.
Because in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a vigorous movement of land reclamation throughout the country, so that the front of Ling Cuifeng had been completely developed. However, as the country now realizes the importance of the environment and implements the policy of returning farmland to forests, this former peak has gradually restored some of its original appearance.
The middle peak, on the other hand, has not been damaged, and its trees are lush and vegetation are abundant, but it is a natural paradise for flora and fauna. It is also the favorite place for villagers to come to pan for gold in Cuiyang, Lingyang, and Zuiyang, which are close to Lingcuifeng.
After all, Nanxi is not a developed place, and after everyone is busy with farming, they will occasionally go to Zhongfeng to hunt some game, or dig some wild Chinese medicinal materials to supplement their families. Someone once excavated a century-old rare medicinal herb somewhere in Zhongfeng and sold it for a large price. However, there are also people who were attacked by wild wolves and almost died when they were "panning for gold" at the middle peak.
And the back peak in the mouth of the old man surnamed Chen is the "forbidden place" that everyone has always been unwilling to face. This is not only because the vegetation and the number of beasts on the back peak are so different from the middle and first two peaks that there are not many people there who want to go there at all. Moreover, the back peak of Lingcui Peak is also bordered by a primeval ancient forest, and no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents in the back peak.
Therefore, when everyone heard the words of the old man surnamed Chen, the expressions on their faces were even stranger, and their hearts were also up and down. And the old man surnamed Chen obviously knew what kind of reaction he would have when he said this, and he also had a helpless look on his face at this time.
"Lao Chen, you don't know that the Hou Peak of the Lu Dao has the name of the Forbidden Land of Death! Although everyone knows that there may be a lot of good things there, it is obviously not worth risking your life for the sake of such a blind medicinal herb! The old man surnamed Dou next to him also couldn't help but say out loud after listening to Old Chen's words.
Obviously, his words represented the voices of most of the people present, so as soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengping, Zhao Erniu, Lao Liu and others also nodded slightly, and their eyes were also cast on Wang Rui on the side. After all, these medicinal materials are what Wang Rui urgently needs, and I don't know what Wang Rui will do with this situation after knowing it.
"Grandpa Chen, are you really sure that this medicinal herb can be found in Houshan?" Although he felt the eyes of concern and inquiry from everyone, Wang Rui couldn't help but ask the old man surnamed Chen.
After all, the medicinal materials needed for Chenmu Washing and Powder have been almost exhausted, and now there is only such a blind medicinal material, and it would be a pity if he gave up. Although this medicinal material called "Shishang Ye" is also listed in the category of rare medicinal materials in the "Apricot Yellow Artifacts", Wang Rui does not want to give up like this.
He has also seen several rare and precious medicinal materials, but if Wang Rui's memory is not wrong, he did not find this "stone leaf" in the "treasure house" where Wuli has collected countless rare treasures. Therefore, if you give up looking for it now, this Chenmu Washing Marrow Powder may never be able to be refined.
Wang Rui is not a person who gives up easily, so after thinking about it for a while. I couldn't help but ask the old man surnamed Chen for verification. If the other party could really confirm that this medicinal material had appeared in the back peak of Ling Cui Peak, then he was willing to take a risk for it.
In fact, after the old man surnamed Chen said what he just said, a trace of regret had risen in his heart. But now when I heard Wang Rui's inquiry and looked at the other party's unusually firm look, the regret and worry in my heart had dissipated in an instant.
After thinking for a moment, the old man surnamed Chen nodded heavily and replied in a deep voice, "Hmm! I can guarantee this, after all, the person who dug up this herb in the first place. It's my grandson! ”
The words are not shocking, and the death is endless!
The old man surnamed Chen said again. It was obviously more exciting than the last time, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked after hearing it. At first, he heard the other party say that he only heard his name but did not see his face, and now he said that his grandson had dug up this medicinal material, if it weren't for Dou and Liu, they would know the personality and personality of the old man surnamed Chen. Otherwise. They're going to think they're playing on their own.
"Old Chen. Haven't you ever seen this herb? Why do you say that your grandson has dug it now, if I'm not mistaken, your eldest grandson named Chen Wei. I'm only twenty-three or four-year-old this year! That went to the back peak? The old man surnamed Liu on the side still couldn't help the question in his heart, and couldn't help asking. Everyone present also cast an unusually hot gaze at the old man surnamed Chen one by one.
"I really haven't seen this medicinal herb called 'Stone Leaves'! Ay...... In fact, you also know that three months ago, when my wife had not yet died, because the condition was too serious, the eldest grandson wanted to go to Lingcuifeng to dig a wild ginseng to fulfill filial piety, and later ......"
In the slow narration of the old man surnamed Chen, everyone gradually understood the beginning and end of the matter. As he said, he had indeed never seen the medicinal herb called "Shishang Ye". His eldest grandson, Chen Wei, may be in order to make his grandmother's deathbed safe, or he may have expectations in his heart.
Therefore, he went to Lingcui Peak to look for the old wild ginseng, because the front peak and the middle peak have already been involved in a large number of villagers, so Chen Wei did not find any trace of the ancient wild ginseng except for seeing a few young ginseng.
The countrymen around Ling Cuifeng don't do that kind of thing about killing chickens to take eggs and drinking ducks to quench their thirst, so Chen Wei didn't dig up the few young ginseng plants he found. Instead, he groped towards the back peak, but the providence did not follow, and Chen Wei also did not find any trace of ancient ginseng in the back peak.
However, by chance, he discovered the rare medicinal material "Shishang Ye", but due to the sudden rainstorm at that time and the strange and changeable environment of the back peak, Chen Wei did not dig it out, so he quickly withdrew from the back peak.
It wasn't until he later returned home and described the plant he found to his grandfather that he realized that it was the rare medicinal material "Stone Leaf"! However, because Houfeng was too dangerous, the old man surnamed Chen did not let his eldest grandson go to dig out the medicinal materials again, and repeatedly instructed Chen Wei not to go to Houfeng without authorization.
"Ahh Grandpa Chen, you ...... Are you saying that Brother Chen personally discovered this 'stone leaf' in Houfeng? Does he remember that place? After listening to the words of the old man surnamed Chen, Wang Rui hurriedly asked.
According to the old man surnamed Chen, his eldest grandson, Chen Wei, had personally found this medicinal material and had not yet excavated it. If you can ask the other person to be your guide, wouldn't it be much easier?
The old man surnamed Chen nodded towards Wang Rui again, he had lived most of his life, but he knew the potential meaning of Wang Rui's question. So without waiting for Wang Rui to continue speaking, he continued: "Xiaowei should still remember that place, but the back peak is too dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety when entering the mountain this time!" ”
Without waiting for Wang Rui to make a request, the old man surnamed Chen made his own arrangements. Knowing that the danger of the back peak was greater than that of the front peak and the middle peak, he was still willing to let his eldest grandson be Wang Rui's guide. This is the innate sincerity, kindness and simplicity of the villagers!
"Thank you, Grandpa Cheng! Thank you, Grandpa Dou and Grandpa Liu! Wang Rui couldn't help but bow to the old men in front of him and thanked him. The three old men, Dou, Liu, and Chen, all smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Rui, when do you plan to enter the mountain?" Duan Zhengping, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask Wang Rui after seeing that all the medicinal materials on the list had been implemented.
"The sooner the better! If I can, I'm going to go tomorrow morning! Wang Rui said softly. Although he was answering Duan Zhengping's question, his eyes were on the old man surnamed Chen, after all, the most critical thing in this journey to find medicine was Chen Wei.
After noticing Wang Rui's gaze, the old man surnamed Chen also nodded slightly, after all, his grandson is farming at home, so he can enter the mountain at any time. And after Wang Rui got Grandpa Chen's reply, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, it seems that the wood left by the ancestors is expected to rejuvenate in his own hands!
After agreeing on the time of entering the mountain with the old man surnamed Chen again, and meeting with Chen Wei, Wang Rui took Duan Zhengping's off-road vehicle back home with full joy and excitement! (To be continued......)
