Chapter 45: The Sachet in the Bear's Belly
The next day, Xue Wu came to Dr. He's house with a fat rabbit.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw He Shen boxing in the courtyard, a bit like Tai Chi, with soothing movements, seemingly soft and powerless, but with a special rhythm.
She stood aside and didn't come forward to disturb her.
Wait for him to finish before he says, "Uncle He, I want to ask you for a favor." β
She wanted him to help dissect the bear she had hit yesterday.
If Father Xue is still here, there is naturally no need to ask for help for this kind of thing, but Father Xue is not here, Xue Wu is okay to skin a rabbit or something, and there is nothing to be done about a large beast like a blind bear.
To say that the most precious bear is its gall bladder, bear bile is an expensive and effective traditional Chinese medicine, the method of taking is very important, otherwise it may be broken by carelessness, and the value will be greatly reduced.
Why did Xue Wu come to invite He Shen? Because the original "Xue Wu" had seen this person take the cow treasure from the cow's belly, and the technique was called a skillful and clever one, she thought that taking bear bile and taking the cow treasure should have the same effect, so she came.
He Shen was very interested in bear bile, and immediately agreed, "Take the rabbit back, and sell the bear bile to me when the time comes." β
Xue Wu couldn't help but say that she left the rabbit and ran away.
After breakfast, the three of them went into the mountains. Xue Wu and Pei Lin led the way in front, and He Shen was in the back.
When he came to the hut, Xue Wu opened the door, and after a night, the huge body of the blind bear had stiffened, and a pool of blood had accumulated under his body, which had dried up.
He Shen stepped forward to check it out, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the blind bear was killed by a single blow, "Who caused this injury?" β
Xue Wu looked at Pei Lian, "Brother Akang." β
He Shen glanced at Pei Lin deeply and beckoned to him: "Come, help me move this big guy out." β
The cabin space is too small to be used.
Pei Lin moved the bear blind man's head, and He Shen moved its feet, but he couldn't lift it, and he tried it again, but he still couldn't lift it, which was a little embarrassing.
Xue Wu hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the other foot, and the three of them worked together to move the big guy to an open place outside.
He Shen walked around and sprinkled a medicinal powder that could override the smell of blood and repel insects and snakes.
This is also to avoid provoking beasts, insects, snakes and other things when taking bear bile later.
He Shen took out a short knife from the medicine box he brought, a bit like a scalpel, it looked thin and sharp, but such a knife was used to take bear bile, could it work?
As if seeing Xue Wu's doubts, He Shen smiled, "Don't underestimate this knife, it's made of meteoric iron, it's easy to cut iron like mud, blow hair and break hair, it's used to get guts for this blind bear, but it's overkill." β
As he spoke, he had already cut the bear skin, layer by layer, and the picture was bloody but inexplicably beautiful.
made her think of "Ku Ding Xie Niu".
The scene in front of him should be called "He Doctor Solving the Cow".
"Don't look." Xue Wu suddenly remembered, and hurriedly blindfolded Pei Lian's eyes, afraid that his young mind would be stimulated.
Pei Lin pulled her hand down, "I'm not afraid." β
The eyes stared unblinking, only curious, and indeed not a little afraid.
Well, he's not really a three-year-old, maybe he's not seen blood before, and the scene in front of him may be a pediatric for him.
"Stab", before Xue Shen could see it clearly, He Shen had already peeled off the entire bear skin intact.
That proficiency made her shudder, thinking to herself that he wouldn't have done this kind of thing often before, right? Otherwise, how could this skinning technique be more sophisticated than that of Father Xue, a hunter?
He Shen put the skin aside and started the real highlight, disemboweling the guts.
Seeing that picture, Xue Wu felt uncomfortable for a while, and simply stepped aside.
"Huh? This is...... Girl, come and see. He Shen shouted.
Xue Wu walked over and saw He Shen holding a sachet with no original color on the tip of his knife, which was stained with some viscous black-green liquid and exuded a fishy smell.
"What's wrong, Uncle He?"
"Don't you think this sachet looks familiar? I think I've seen it with your dad before. β
Xue Wu's heart tightened, and she didn't care about the dirty smell of the sachet at this time, so she reached out and was about to take it, but was avoided by He Shen, "It is stained with the stomach juice of the blind bear, and my hands are corroded." β
She wrapped the sachet in a handkerchief, washed it with water, looked carefully, and saw a clump of orchids in the lower right corner of the sachet.
Xue's mother has the word "Hui" in her name, and she likes orchids very much, so she uses Huilan as a mark and embroiders it on the embroidery, just like a painter will stamp his own seal on the corner after painting a painting.
Seeing this clump of orchids, Xue Yu was sure that this sachet was the one that Father Xue had often worn on his body before!
Inside is the insect repellent incense configured by Xue Mu.
Hunting in the mountains will inevitably encounter snakes, insects, rats and ants, these things look inconspicuous, but the lethality is not small, after wearing the sachet with insect repellent incense, Father Xue will be much easier in the mountains.
At least you won't get bitten by mosquitoes when you squat on your prey.
And now that this sachet has appeared in the belly of the blind bear, doesn't that mean thatβ
Thinking of this, Xue Wu's face changed.
He Shen obviously guessed this and comforted her: "Girl, it's just a sachet, maybe your father met this blind bear before and accidentally dropped the sachet, so it was swallowed by the blind bear." β
It's just that this statement is not very convincing, after all, the bear blind is a carnivorous animal, why does it have nothing to eat sachets? I must have swallowed the sachet while eating people.
And the following dissection seems to confirm this even more.
Because He Shen found several undigested bones in the belly of the blind bear, human bones.
In this regard, He Shen didn't know what to say.
Xue Wu was silent for a long time, "Uncle He, please don't tell my mother about this, let her think that my father is still alive." β
He Shen: "Okay. β
The bear bile was taken out, and He Shen held it up to look at the sunlight leaking from between the branches, and the originally black gallbladder revealed a golden color, as translucent as amber.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he carefully placed the bear bile into a small porcelain altar he had prepared.
"Girl, this bear bile is the best golden gall among bear bile, the year is between eight and ten years, and it is at the time of the strongest medicinal properties. Drinking a cup of golden gall tea every day, the emperor in the palace does not think about him', the golden gall tea in this poem is the best golden gall taken out of the bear's belly.
"Originally, I wanted to ask you to buy bear bile, but now I have to tell you, this golden gall is hard to find, you can take it back and keep it for your own house."
He handed over the small porcelain altar.
Xue Wu didn't answer, not to mention that she has a spiritual spring, the effect is definitely no worse than the golden gall, even if she doesn't, she won't take the golden gall back to make tea and drink, as soon as she thought that Father Xue was likely to be buried in the belly of this bear blind man, she had a diaphragm.
