Chapter 22 Pill-picking accidents

Dong Yun turned his head to take a look, only to see a cluster of yellow-green flowers blooming in the shade of the cliff, and in the spring breeze, the flowers were swaying, and the posture was extremely beautiful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Yun said in surprise: "Big brother, what are you doing in a surprise." Isn't that an orchid? It's everywhere. ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary orchid, this is called dendrobium, and it is in the same family as orchids." ”

Dong Yun didn't know what a subject meant, anyway, the language that this eldest brother sometimes spoke was godly, and he was already surprised, but looking at Liu Yong's surprised expression, this must be a very precious grass, so he asked, "Is this also medicine?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Yong nodded, "Dendrobium is a precious medicinal material, especially this kind of green skin and yellow flowers called 'Dendrobium officinalis' is particularly precious. Dong Yun listened as if she didn't understand, and listened to Liu Yong again, "Dendrobium officinale grows on the cliff all year round, receives the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and is known as the best health and life-saving fairy grass." ”

"Is it more precious than Ganoderma lucidum?" Dong Yun only knows that Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are the most miraculous medicines.

"Much more precious than Ganoderma lucidum. It can strengthen the kidneys, improve the essence, and prolong the life, which is not easy to find. Liu Yong looked at the elegant demeanor of Dendrobium and couldn't help but sigh. In his time, wild Dendrobium officinale was on the verge of extinction due to harsh growing conditions, extremely scarce yields, and long-term over-harvesting.

"Then I'll pick it up." Dong Yun said happily.

"Forget it. It's too dangerous, it's not worth it for one or two herbs. Liu Yong stared at the flowers fluttering in the wind, calmed down, and said fiercely.

Dong Yun saw the reluctance in Liu Yong's heart, and said, "Big brother, I often go to collect medicine, this danger is nothing." ”

Liu Yong shook his head again and again and said, "I won't let you go if there is a one-in-10,000 danger." Which is more important? If you can't collect medicinal herbs, it's a small matter, and your safety is a big matter, I don't agree. ”

Dong Yun heard that Liu Yong cared so much about herself, and her heart was very sweet, so she said, "It's okay." Xiaomei used to collect medicine, but it was much more difficult than this. ”

Liu Yong still shook his head, "No, no one took care of you before." It's different now, you have a big brother and me, and I won't let you do anything dangerous anymore. ”

Dong Yun was even more moved and happy when she heard this, made up her mind, and said solemnly: "Big brother, didn't you say that this medicine is hard to find and extremely difficult to encounter?" Doesn't the fact that we can meet here today show that we are related to it? ”

"Yun'er, you didn't say anything to me."

"But you've already said it. Big brother, you said that this medicine is so useful and very rare, we should take some back and find a way to cultivate more, isn't it the best? This kind of opportunity is missed, but you will regret it for life. ”

Liu Yong heard Dong Yun say that it was very reasonable, so he had to agree, and reminded, "Yun'er, you must be careful, don't be reluctant." Dong Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will." ”

The two climbed to the top of the cliff directly above the dendrobium, Dong Yun tied the rope to a big pine tree, and the other end hung down to the bottom of the cliff; took another piece of rope, tied one end to his waist, and the other end was also tied to the big tree, nodded to Liu Yong, and pulled the previous rope to go down. Liu Yong said hurriedly: "Wait, I'll take a look." Pulling the two ropes to test the firmness, and carefully checking the firmness of the knots, Fang said reassuringly: "Okay, it's okay." I'll put the rope on you, be careful. ”

Dong Yun smiled sweetly, picked up the back basket, pulled the rope tightly with both hands, crossed her feet on the rope, nodded at Liu Yong, and slowly slid down the rope. Liu Yong pulled the rope tied to Dong Yun's waist and put it carefully, this is a safety rope and a life-saving rope, and there can be no mistakes. After a while, Liu Yong saw that the rope was no longer falling, and when he knew that Dong Yun had arrived at the place, he lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, but only saw half of Dong Yun's body swinging in the air, and the clouds and mist below were dark and bottomless, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and secretly blamed himself in his heart.

I only heard Dong Yun's voice coming from below, "The branches and leaves of this flower are like bamboo knots, is this it?" ”

"Yes. That's it. ”

"There's a hole over there, I don't know how deep it is."

"Yun'er, don't care about those irrelevant ones, let's dig them up earlier. Also, you have to watch the rope and don't accidentally wear it out. ”

"Hmm." Dong Yun agreed, took out the iron pickaxe tied to his body and dug it up. After a long time, Liu Yong asked, "Yun'er, are you okay?" ”

I only heard Dong Yun say: "It's almost ready." ”

Liu Yong waited in fear, only to feel that this time passed so slowly, as if it had stopped. Suddenly, Liu Yong heard a sound from the dense forest below, and when he looked closely, he saw more than a dozen wild deer jumping out of the forest, the speed was extremely fast, and they jumped over the ridge in the blink of an eye, as if there were wild beasts chasing behind. Sure enough, a leopard the size of a calf and a menacing leopard sprang out of the forest. With a press of the front paws and a kick of the hind legs, he climbed on a boulder more than three meters high and roared in the direction of the wild deer's escape.

When Liu Yong saw it, he couldn't help but let out a low "ah", and as soon as this sound came out, Liu Yong knew that something bad was going to happen. The leopard saw that the deer had fled far away, and was bored with himself, when he suddenly heard Liu Yong's cry, his heart was happy, and he roared, so he jumped off the stone, looked at Liu Yong and was about to run over.

Dong Yun heard Liu Yong's exclamation, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Yong replied in a trembling voice: "Yun'er, there is a leopard, it has found me." ”

Dong Yun hurriedly said: "Big brother, grab the rope and come down." ”

Liu Yong suddenly realized, and he was anxious to give birth to greater strength, and he didn't care how high it was below or how scared he was, so he grabbed the rope and climbed down in a few clicks. In an instant, the rocks above his head fell, only the whirring sound of animals was heard, and the low roar was endless, Liu Yong was frightened, did not dare to raise his head, and held the rope tightly

Dong Yun saw it really down there, the leopard finally saw the food, and it seemed that it was within reach, stretching out its claws and constantly digging the rope. The leopard's claws are extremely sharp, and it will be dangerous if you accidentally cut one, Dong Yun hurriedly said: "Big brother, you hold both ropes tightly." Liu Yong agreed, and reached out to pull the other rope as well.

Dong Yun felt a little relieved, but the danger was not lifted, this leopard caught it like this, it was inevitable that the rope would be broken, Dong Yun took out the crossbow from the back basket, put on the arrow, aimed at the leopard's head, pulled the trigger, and shot out with a "whoosh". It's a pity that Dong Yun is extremely light with the crossbow today, and the arrow body is also light, and it is fired from the bottom up, and the body is constantly shaking, not to mention that there is a Liu Yong in the middle, and the arrow only hit the stone under the leopard, and there was a burst of sparks. The leopard was startled and quickly hid inside.

Liu Yong didn't dare to look up and asked, "Did you shoot?" ”

Dong Yun sighed and said stupidly: "No, it just scared it." As he spoke, his eyes were confused, his mind was spinning, and he had to think of a way, hanging in the air like this was not a way, and sooner or later he would be exhausted. Dong Yun stared at the huge pine tree on the side of the cave below, and suddenly thought of an idea.

Dong Yun untied the medicine pickaxe from herself, lifted the end of the rope she was wrapping around, tied it firmly with the medicine pickaxe, and lowered it again, her eyes visually measured the distance to the pine tree, pulled the extra rope into her hand, and swung it with her arm, and the medicine pickaxe swung higher and higher. Seeing that the medicine pickaxe reached the slope above the pine tree, Dong Yun's hand was loosened, and the iron pickaxe was thrown into the branches of the pine tree. Dong Yun slowly retracted the rope, and the iron pickaxe moved slowly, and when it got stuck in the thick branch, it couldn't pull it. At this moment, I only heard Liu Yong exclaim: "Yun'er, that leopard is biting the rope." ”

Dong Yun took a look, and sure enough, the leopard only showed half of its head, and was biting the rope with its mouth open. Dong Yun hurriedly said: "Big brother, come down quickly, you climb along this rope to that tree." ”

There was a vicious leopard on the top and a cliff below, but Liu Yong calmed down, and when he looked down, he saw a rope connected from the cliff wall to the tree over there swaying in the wind, shaking Liu Yong's eyes, and he couldn't help but beat wildly in his heart. Liu Yong froze and shouted, "Yun'er, you go first." ”

Dong Yun said: "Big brother, I'm light, you go first." ”

"Yun'er, it's better for you to go first. When I come, won't I crawl over you? ”

Dong Yun was anxious and angry, this person was about to die, and he was still talking about face, so he said angrily: "Big brother, don't talk about whether men and women are kissed or not in such a hurry!" ”

Liu Yong hurriedly said: "No. You're in the middle, how can I get by? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? ”

Dong Yun suddenly realized, it turned out that he was thinking too much, and hurriedly said, "I know, big brother." Okay, I'll go first, and you'll see how I climbed over. Don't panic, it's easy. Don't wait for me to pass before you climb, follow now. So saying, he untied the rope that was tied to his waist and tied it with another rope, and then he crossed the rope with his feet, rushed up with his head, and hung his whole body under the rope, and with both hands, he climbed towards the pine tree.

Liu Yong is no stranger to this posture, there are quite a few scenes of climbing along the rope in Jackie Chan's movies, but it is just the first time he has tried it himself. Fortunately, Liu Yong's physical fitness has always been good, and the training with the officers and soldiers during this period has also been quite effective, so it is not difficult to climb.

Liu Yong slid down first, and then followed Dong Yun's example and coiled on the rope, hanging upside down on one side of his body, and suddenly let go of his arms, only to feel that something had fallen, Liu Yong couldn't help but scream.

Dong Yun was almost at the canopy, and when she heard Liu Yong screaming, she couldn't see it, and asked eagerly, "Big brother, is something wrong?" ”

Liu Yong shouted, "The fire sickle and flint have fallen. ”

"Big brother, don't worry about things that don't matter."

Liu Yong was about to answer, but when he heard Dong Yun screaming repeatedly, he felt that his body fell down suddenly, and then stopped suddenly, and this fall almost turned Liu Yong down. Liu Yong broke out in a cold sweat, only to hear Dong Yun hurriedly urge: "Big brother, climb faster, the rope has been broken." It turned out that the leopard had already bitten the rope that was stressed just now, but fortunately, Dong Yun had entangled the two ropes before, so Liu Yong only fell down slightly and was caught by another rope.

"Big brother, it's only fifty steps, you can do it." At this time, Dong Yun had arrived, so she cheered Liu Yong up. Liu Yong calmed down, adjusted his breath, and struggled to climb over. After climbing more than ten meters, I heard Dong Yun shouting again: "Big brother, hold on to the rope, don't let go." ”

Liu Yong knew that something was wrong, so he immediately grabbed the rope with both hands, and sure enough, his body was light, and he fell straight down like an elevator with a broken rope.
