Chapter 157: Name
Hearing Guo Mianmian's apology from the bottom of his heart, Dashu was not so angry, but his attitude was still very arrogant: "Okay, okay, you Uncle Shu and I have a lot of big trees, and I spare you this rude little girl." ”
"Impolite little girl" twitched the corner of her eyes, she wanted to argue that the old tree spirit was not a little girl, and when she thought that she was at a loss, if she made noise with this tree of not very good nature, she was afraid that she would have to be glued endlessly and not clear, so she closed her mouth and kept her mouth silent.
Guo Mianmian didn't speak, but the big tree couldn't hold it back. It finally waited for a two-legged beast that could be exchanged, and wondered where it was willing to let her go so easily.
Therefore, with the strength of the wind, he stretched out a branch and poked Guo Mianmian's face, and asked seriously: "I heard that you humans can make a lot of delicious and fun things, can you tell me what fun and delicious things you have?" ”
Guo Mianmian was stunned, she had seen a lot of flowers and trees, or the first time a tree asked her this question, she forgot to reply for a while, thinking about whether this big tree wanted her to bring it something delicious and fun to filial piety?
Seeing that Guo Mianmian didn't speak, Da Shu thought that she didn't hear clearly, and poked her face with a branch again: "You should say it quickly, I will reward you Uncle Shu, if you say it's not good...... Hmph, don't even think about leaving here today. ”
Guo Mianmian came back to his senses, but he wanted to know that he was not very good, and what method did it have to prevent him from leaving, so he pretended to be angry and said: "If you ask me to say it, I'll say it, then I'm not very faceless?" Don't forget, it's you who ask for help now, you don't have the attitude of asking for people, why should I tell you. ”
Ignoring the speechless tree that was blocked, Guo Mianmian threatened in turn: "You can't leave this piece of land without your feet, I can, I still have a knife, even if I can't cut you down, I can also peel off your bark to see how many days you can live." ”
No matter how long the tree has lived, without the nutrients produced by the bark leaves, it cannot be transported down to the roots, and many of it can only last for a year before it dies.
"Hiss-what a vicious little girl, Uncle Tree has lost his eyes!" Dashu scolded angrily, but he didn't dare to speak out to threaten Guo Mianmian.
As Guo Mianmian said, it can't leave this land without feet, and if people really want to skin it, it can only wait for death.
Seeing that the big tree was honest, Guo Mianmian didn't care about its swearing, and admonished earnestly: "Let me tell you that it's not impossible for human beings to have delicious and fun food, you have to come up with something as an exchange, right?" ”
When the tree heard this, it thought that the evil two-legged beast had asked for a split, and it was like it had to give the tree a favor. Thinking of this, it was afraid that Guo Mianmian would repent, and asked hastily: "What do you want?" My flowers can be made into spices, and you can pick some back if you have porridge. ”
The tree is in full bloom, and its branches are full of flowers with yellow hearts and white petals. The taste of the flowers is very fragrant, much stronger than ordinary fragrant flowers, but it can be made into spices as the tree says.
Guo Mianmian didn't have much fun with spices or anything, shook his head and said, "I don't need your flowers, just tell me, where are the price herbs in this mountain forest." ”
Herbs at a price?
The big tree thought for a moment, and remembered that one day a few small things had popped up in his land. These little things say to it that they are very capable and can heal human beings and replenish their bodies.
At that time, it also ignored the little thing blowing the conch, and after more than 30 years, a two-legged beast broke into here, grabbed all the small things, and said that they could be exchanged for geometric silver, could it be that the two-legged beast in front of him was talking about those little things?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was about, and the big tree said excitedly: "I know that I know, there is something you said not far from me, you go over and look for it." ”
"Okay, then you will show the way, and I will find it."
Guo Mianmian knew that the big tree wouldn't lie to herself, and she also knew that the herbs that had a price in the eyes of the big tree were not really worth a lot of money, so with the mentality of giving it a try, she climbed to the top of the slope under the guidance of the big tree, and carefully explored what it said.
With her ability to communicate with plants, it is not difficult to find valuable herbs. The difficulty was that the area of the mountain was too large, and she had to find it little by little. What's more, there are herbs that want to be eaten to complete this life's task, and naturally cowardly herbs don't want to be taken away, they just want to take root in the ground and live for a long time.
If these herbs that she didn't want to cause the herbs to be silent, she wouldn't be able to find them easily.
At present, it is not easy to meet a big tree that has a request for herself, or a big tree that has lived for a long time, and knows many plants that she does not know, she will naturally exercise this to achieve the purpose of entering the mountain by herself, so it is more labor-saving and time-saving, isn't it?
This is an equivalent exchange of your affection and my willingness, and when she finds the herb, whether it is worth it or not, she will fulfill her previous promise and tell the tree what she knows about delicious and fun, so that she will not owe it anything.
“…… A little further, a little further, oops, you're so stupid, you take two more steps to the sun, yes, that's over there, you look for it. The big tree that gave instructions all the way disliked Guo Mianmian disliked the impossibility, and almost got up from the ground to help her find it, but fortunately, the wise return didn't really pull herself up.
Getting closer and closer to the indicator, Guo Mianmian's eyes saw more thoroughly. Just as she was about to lift her foot and step on it, a panicked voice rang in her ears: "Don't step on our hair, don't step on our hair." ”
Guo Mianmian's feet paused in mid-air, she lowered her head clearly, and saw a clump of ginseng with small red flowers on her head hidden under the footboard.
There are a lot of ginseng in this clump, Guo Mianmian counted them according to the excitement in his heart, and found that there were as many as fifteen trees, two of which were very old, more than 300 years, and everything that spread around them for more than 100 years and decades was their children and grandchildren.
The ginseng family is very large, far bigger than now, but it was plagued by a nest of mountain rats last year, and there are so many dozen left. Now that it has been discovered by Guo Mianmian again, most of the countless ginseng is very hopeless, and they haven't lived enough!
"Don't catch me, don't catch me, I can become a thousand-year-old ginseng, and when the time comes, you will come and catch me again, will you let me go this time?" A ginseng tree less than a hundred years old trembled under Guo Mianmian's scorching gaze, and weakly said his pleading.
Guo Mianmian listened ridiculously, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Many of us humans can only live for a hundred years, and we can't wait for you to grow into a thousand years of ginseng." ”
When the little ginseng heard this, he thought that the terrifying two-legged beast was going to do something to him, and he cried out in fright: "So, is it better to come and catch me when you are a hundred years old?" At that time, I will be 200 years old, and the effect of the medicine will be better, and when you eat it, I may not be able to live a little longer. ”
Listening to the poignant cry of the little ginseng, no matter how thick-skinned Guo Mianmian was, he didn't intend to intimidate it anymore, so he quickly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you don't like to go with me, I won't dig you." ”
When the little ginseng heard it, he couldn't believe it: "Really? Are you really not going to catch me away? ”
"Really, more real than real gold!" Guo Mianmian assured with a smile and a smile, and almost raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
Seeing this, the villain finally put his mind at ease, and obediently took root in the ground and did not speak.
Guo Mianmian's eyes fell on the other ginseng, testing to communicate with the two trees that were very old. The older the ginseng, the better the medicinal effect, and the higher the cost. In this way, two 300-year-old ginseng plants can be taken out and sold at will, so she doesn't have to worry about her going bankrupt.
The two 300-year-old ginseng plants hope to make medicinal herbs and complete the ultimate task of being a herb. It's just that they are responsible for breeding their families, and they can't leave the two plants at the same time, so after the two ginseng plants were secretly discussed, the slightly older one was dug up by Guo Mianmian.
The remaining small years of ginseng, there are a few ginseng plants that fill the world inside, clamoring to go with Guo Mianmian, and they never thought that they would never come back.
Guo Mianmian didn't want to harm them, so he didn't answer any of them, but only dug out the big one carefully, wrapped it in leaves, and put it in the back basket.
Just as Guo Mianmian put away the hoe and was about to leave, a weak voice reached his ears: "Please take us away, okay?" ”
Guo Mianmian followed the voice to find it, and found that it was a clump of grass that couldn't find its roots and couldn't tell what it was. Around the grass, there are also a large number of similar people like it, and it is really half an acre when you calculate it carefully.
Looking at this alone, Guo Mianmian clearly thinks that these are ordinary weeds, and there is no big price. It's just that these weeds have made a request to her, and it doesn't seem to be good for her to refuse so much, and she is also very curious why this weed automatically asked to be taken away, isn't it good to be alive?
This large area of continuous grass is called bitter intestine grass, which is a kind of herb that is useless to the human body, but has a good healing effect on the internal and external injuries of animals.
If the animal bears the trauma, it can be crushed and applied externally to stop bleeding and pain, and accelerate wound healing; If you are responsible for internal injuries, chewing and swallowing will allow the damaged organs to heal gradually, and it is not a fatal injury, and it usually takes one or two months to get better.
It is said that this herb grows deep in the mountains and is supposed to be very popular with animal porridge. There are also fights in the animal kingdom, especially between carnivores, between carnivores and herbivores to eat and be eaten, it can be said that animals are injured every day and need these bitter herbs to heal.
Bitter intestine grass is the same as its name, the taste is very bitter, the internally injured animal needs to chew it and swallow it, the externally injured animal needs to chew it, and then lick the wound with a tongue stained with medicinal juice to achieve the result of dressing.
Even when patches of bitter intestine grass are gathered together, their softness will exude a faint bitter taste. This bitter taste is not even happy to be approached by mosquitoes and flies, so it can be said that smearing their juice on the body can also have the benefit of repelling mosquitoes and insects.
If the animals don't choose, they will endure this terrible bitterness with their eyes closed and chew it to heal themselves, regretting that there is a sweet herb that can achieve the same healing results as the bitter intestine grass, which causes the bitter intestine grass to be avoided by the animals, and no animal is willing to use it to heal the wounds.
As a member of the natural world, the ultimate task of the bitter intestine grass is to be eaten by animals. Now they are disliked by the animals, which causes them to spread rapidly through the jungle, and almost all of them are found in patches.
Because of this, just when Guo Mianmian was about to leave, the bitter intestine grass that was so nervous and dangerous by the animals that she had self-esteem would automatically make a sound and beg her to take them away.
At this time, Guo Mianmian looked at the bitter intestine grass everywhere with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a pile of glittering treasures.
Isn't it a treasure, the bitter intestine grass can treat the injuries of animals and have the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects, which the animals in the mountains know, but the people inside don't know!
She can collect these bitter herbs, make them into mosquito repellent and sell them in the medicine store, and they will definitely sell hot on a very hot day, and the truth is that this mind has not yet yielded good results in repelling mosquito bites
