Only then did Liang Shirong pour the Chinese herbs in the basket on the ground of the courtyard, and introduced the names and medicinal effects of those mountain herbs to everyone one by one. There are Cnidium monnieri, Atractylodes, calamus, double flower, cork, Angelica dahurica, etc., as well as cicadas that can evacuate wind and heat, dispel wind and relieve itching.

Liang Yun was a little skeptical and asked, "Uncle Rong, can these mountain herbs cure my mother's skin disease?" ”

"There should be no problem!" Liang Shirong's tone is very certain, your mother's skin disease is caused by heat poison and blood stasis, which should be dealt with with mountain herbs that cool blood and dispel blood stasis, dispel wind and relieve itching. Although there are many medicines collected today, it is a pity that one of the main mountain herbs has not been collected. ”

Liang Er asked, "What major mountain herbs are still missing?" ”

Liang Shirong: "Sophora." Sophora sophora can be used to clear away heat and dampness, detoxify fever and diarrhea, and treat itchy skin. To cure your mother's illness, you can't do without this main medicine. ”

Liang Er: "The bitter ginseng you are talking about, will we have it in Stone Mountain?" ”

Liang Shirong: "When I carried your father up the mountain, I had already carefully inspected it, and there were many mountain herbs on the way, but there was no bitter ginseng. I haven't been anywhere I have been today and I don't see sophora ginseng. ”

Liang Er: "Where does the bitter meeting grow?" ”

Liang Shirong described: "It is commonly found in the protrusion of the stone crevices of the cliffs, where it has experienced a lot of wind, frost, sunshine and rain, so the best medicinal effect is picked there." ”

"Cliffs?" Liang Er said casually, "I know that there is a steep cliff in the mountain, and there are a lot of flowers and plants growing on it, I don't know if there is any bitter ginseng you want to pick." ”

Liang Shirong: "It's getting late now, you can take me to the cliff tomorrow to have a look." That's going to be hard for you. ”

Liang Er pretended to be unhappy: "Uncle Rong, you saved my father's life, and I haven't had a chance to repay it yet." You're talking to me kind words this time?! ”

Liang Shirong stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." ”

The next day, the sun rises in the east, the morning glow fills the sky, and the stone mountain is bathed in the morning sun, and the scenery is particularly charming.

On the magnolia tree in the courtyard of Liang Er's house, pairs of birds are jumping happily and singing.

Facing the morning breeze, Liang Yun took Liang Shirong to turn left and right in the mountain, and the two of them were covered in sweat, and finally came to the edge of a cliff.

Liang Shirong stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, under the cliff was an abyss, surrounded by clouds and fog; Looking to the opposite side, the purple stone walls are as steep as knives, and there are occasional small trees and unknown grasses around the protruding rocks.

Liang Shirong searched for a while, and finally found something, and shouted loudly: "Yo, there are a few stalks of Sophora ginseng on the cliff over there." ”

Liang Yun: "Where is Sophora sophora on the other side?" ”

Liang Shirong stretched out his hand and pointed to the cliff opposite: "Yo, it's there." ”

Liang Yun followed Liang Shirong's hope, and the stone wall opposite was extremely steep, and there was a goshawk circling. He opened his eyes wide and searched left and right, but he couldn't find it, and muttered, "Where is the bitter ginseng on the cliff over there?" ”

Liang Shirong saw that Liang Yun had not found Sophora ginseng, so he put his hand on his cheek and pointed forward: "There is an old pine tree above the eagle's nest over there, and about two feet away from it, there are several small trees that grow densely with clusters of yellow-white flowers. ”

After Liang Shirong's detailed prompt, Liang Yun's hand put a small shade under the corner of his forehead, blinked vigorously, looked at it fixedly, and then made a discovery, nodded and said: "Ah, I see, a small tree with a bunch of yellow and white flowers is next to the protruding rock opposite." ”

Liang Shirong nodded: "Yes." ”

The two monkeys, Ah Zuo and Ah You, were playing in the mountains, and when they heard the sound, they came here and walked around Liang Shirong and Liang Yun.

After Liang Yun's eyes scanned the cliff over there, his face was solemn: "Uncle Rong, do you have any way to pick the bitter ginseng from the cliff over there?" It must be known that this cliff once fell to the death of several people who collected medicine. ”

Liang Shirong: "Don't scare me. ”

Liang Yun: "I'm telling the truth. Last year, I fell to death a medicine picker from other places. He's about my age, and he's a well-known climber. ”

Liang Shirong stroked the monkey Ah Zuo's brain melon and said to Liang Yun: "The monkey is the most agile animal in the mountain, and he is a master at climbing trees, do you think Ah Zuo and Ah You can help?" ”

Liang Yun waved his hand: "They are also powerless. ”

Liang Shirong was skeptical: "No." ”

Liang Yun swallowed and said, "At the bottom of that cliff, someone also found that the monkey had fallen to death. ”

Liang Shirong was stunned: "Ah, even monkeys who are good at climbing across the stream will fall to death, the cliff is indeed steep!" ”

Liang Yun: "Uncle Rong, let's go find it somewhere else." ”

"No," Liang Shirong said confidently after looking around at the terrain and scenery, "There is nothing to fear in front of me, and it is inseparable from the bitter ginseng to cure your mother's illness." ”

Liang Yun: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

From Liang Shirong's loud answer, it can be seen that he has a firm determination: "Filial piety comes first in the world, and the grace of parenting is greater than the sky." Now that your mother is sick, no matter how much risk I take, I will go over there and collect this mountain herb!" ”

"This ......," Liang Yun was moved, "It's good to be determined, but you have to face up to the problems you face!" Look at the rocks on the cliff over there, if you climb it with your hands, maybe it will fall down and hurt your brain. ”

Liang Shirong laughed: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." There is a way, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. As long as you judge the situation, consider carefully, and do not act recklessly, you can avoid risks. ”

Liang Yun pointed to the cliff over there and said, "Look, there is no path to go down on that cliff, and there is no path next to it to reach it. The risk is obvious! ”

Liang Shirong: "Since there is no path on the side and no trail next to it, then, I can fly over!" ”

Liang Yun: "Fly over?" Can you grow wings right away? ”

"Why do you have to have wings?! That's it. Huineng pointed to the old kudzu vine hanging from the big tree not far away.

The diameter of this long kudzu vine is about an inch thick, and the brown-black bark is very rough, covered with large and small pimples, and it can be inferred that this is an old kudzu vine that has grown for more than 100 years.

Liang Yun looked at the vigorous old kudzu vine, comparing the distance between this side and the cliff there, he was also from the mountains, understood what Liang Shirong was referring to, and said, "You want to rely on this old kudzu vine to fly over." ”

Liang Shirong nodded: "Exactly." ”

The muscles on Liang Yun's face trembled, and he was quite worried: "It's too dangerous to fly over like this." ”

"Life is full of adventures." Liang Shirong's expression was calm, and his voice was full of certainty, "When I used to go up the mountain to collect medicine, I also climbed vines and flew over some cliffs, but I came and went freely. I have seen this cliff in front of me, and I believe that I can fly over it. You don't have to worry about me. ”

Liang Yun saw that Huineng's determination was so great and so calm, his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he advised, "Uncle Rong, you have to be extra careful. ”

"Got it," Liang Shirong said, pulled the bamboo basket for collecting medicine on his back tightened, walked to the old kudzu vine, held the old kudzu vine, pulled it back vigorously, confirmed that it was stable, took a few steps back, and then accelerated forward, when he ran to the edge of the cliff, he squatted down, bent his feet slightly, kicked suddenly, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Liang Shirong held the body of the old kudzu vine in the air and drew a beautiful arc, flying towards the opposite cliff, and when he was about to reach the cliff, his right foot stretched forward, and hooked the old pine that grew out of the gap in the cliff, and his body was fixed on that side.

Liang Yun was stunned by this thrilling shot, his heart was beating violently, like a deer crashing, and he couldn't help but shout: "Yo! After calming down, he put his hands together into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to Liang Shirong on the other side of the cliff: "Uncle Yarong, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

"Got it, don't worry!" Liang Shirong responded, hooked the old pine tree with his foot, leaned forward, put it under the rock pine, and then tied the old kudzu vine to the rock pine, and then reached over and grabbed the protruding rock, pumped his body high, climbed up more than a zhang, and stretched out his hand to pick the bitter ginseng. His body was still several feet away from the sophora, Liang Shirong leaned out, compared it several times, and finally grabbed the sophora, pulled it back, and finally pulled it back. Liang Shirong then used a sickle inserted in his belt to cut off a large section of the sophora plant, and then threw the sophora sophora to the bamboo basket he was carrying with his backhand.

Liang Yun, who was watching here, saw that Liang Shirong had finally picked the bitter ginseng after several difficulties, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The two monkeys, Ah Zuo and Ah You, watched Liang Shirong successfully pick Sophora ginseng, and jumped and jumped beside Liang Yun with excitement.

In the process of going down, his body accidentally touched a loose rock, which weighed several pounds and smashed on Liang Shirong's knee, and the sharp edges and corners scratched his knee, and the blood flowed immediately. A burst of pain pierced his heart and spleen, but Liang Shirong endured it.

The loose rock fell down for a long time before the sound of it hitting the deep pool below.

Seeing this, Liang Yun exclaimed: "It's so dangerous! ”

Indeed, if you fall from here, you will definitely be dead and broken.

Liang Shirong's face did not change, his hands alternately grasped the raised stones, returned to Yan Song, untied the old kudzu vine, and shouted: "Go!" Kicking his feet on the cliff, his whole body flew towards Liang Yun's side again, and his feet landed firmly on this side, and then he let go of the old kudzu vine.

Liang Yun saw that Liang Shirong picked the bitter ginseng unharmed, so he was shocked, patted his chest violently, let the tense heartstrings relax, and then wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "Uncle Rong, you finally returned safely!" To be honest, my heart was already in my throat just now. ”

Flying over the cliff just now, it was indeed inevitable to be nervous, and now that he had picked the bitter ginseng and returned here safely, Liang Shirong also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat beads on his face, took off the back basket, picked up the freshly picked bitter ginseng, swayed it, and said, "Chi Bin, I didn't tell you just now, don't worry about me." You see, didn't you pick Sophora ginseng? ”

"Uncle Rong, you are really good!" Liang Yun stretched out his thumb and praised.

Suddenly, Liang Yun saw two monkeys constantly pulling Liang Shirong's trousers, screaming "whoa, whoa", and then looked carefully, it turned out that there were blood stains on the trousers, and asked Liang Shirong with concern, "Uncle Rong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liang Shirong replied: "I was scratched by a falling stone over there just now. This little injury is nothing. ”

Liang Yun hurriedly went to the mountain next to him to pick up the mountain herbs to stop the bleeding and handed them to Liang Shirong.

Liang Shirong put the mountain herb in his mouth, chewed it and applied it to the wound, then ripped off the cloth strip on his clothes and bandaged the wound.
