Chapter Eighty-Three: Strange Beasts
Ever since my mother-in-law's eye disease was cured. Xiaoru pays great attention to the maintenance of her eyes, after all, she has been blind, which is always not very reassuring. There must be no shortage of bat droppings in this cave that are more than 100 years old, but it is absolutely the best luminous sand.
Xiao Ru secretly thought to herself, she must come back when she waits for the day.
Lou Yi smiled, just wanted to ask something, there was a faint light in front of him, and he heard a burst of rapid and happy shouts from Duoduo who led the way in front of him, the two people temporarily stopped talking, raised their eyes, and the sight was actually a huge, unsightly stone cave, there was a cold air in the hole, and after taking two steps forward, he saw a large lake with a radius of more than 100 acres, faint blue and quiet, faintly fragrant.
The little monkey Duoduo stood on an unknown stone slab by the lake, and at its feet there was a small beast, whose fur was snow-white, and looked like a fox. It's just petite than a fox, and the ears are also very long, only slightly shorter than a rabbit's, Xiaoru was stunned when she saw it, because she has a special ability, she knows a lot about animals, and some even if they don't know their names, most of them have been seen, but this one in front of her, she really can't tell what kind of animal it is.
Xiao Ru ignored the clamor for the time being, and watched carefully, and saw that there were many cracks on the stone cave, or large pieces, or small pieces of moonlight sprinkled, with the help of the lights, the surrounding plants could still be seen, unknown tree species, all kinds of precious herbs on the ground were dense, growing like weeds, Xiao Ru swept casually, and saw a ginseng that grew to the height of her knees.
lowered his head, stretched out his hand to dial the lake water, and immediately saw that there were several oval-shaped things like meat balls growing on the edge of the lake, Xiao Ru squatted down and looked at it, frowned, touched the ball of meat with his hand, and couldn't help but gasp. It is actually meat Ganoderma lucidum, that is, Tai Sui, God, when did Tai Sui actually grow in the plural, Xiao Ru felt that her knowledge of medicinal herbs needed to be updated urgently.
According to the ancient legend, Tai Sui is the ancestor of all things, according to the "Historical Records", Qin Shi Huang heard that there is a kind of immortal medicine in the East, which can become immortal after eating, so he personally led the eastward journey to find the immortal medicine in the twenty-eighth year of Qin, he came to Langya Town, Shandong Province, and found the very famous doctor Xu Fu, ordered to find the elixir of immortality, and gave Xu Fu a lot of manpower and material resources.
Xu Fu then led five hundred boys and girls to the east and came to Penglai, Shandong Province to find the elixir. So Xu Fu repaired the ship again, and only led 3,000 boys and girls to cross to Fusang, and arrived at the ancient Yingzhou, the abbot, which is now the Japanese archipelago, to continue to look for the elixir. It is said that among the elixirs that Qin Shi Huang asked Xu Fu to find was meat reishi.
Although I don't know if there is any basis for this legend, of course, Tai Sui is not really immortal, but it is clear that the meat reishi is extremely rare and precious. It's not easy to see one on weekdays, but this place has actually grown a circle.
Xiaoru felt that there must be something special here, and couldn't help but be in her heart.
Lou Yi doesn't understand pharmacology, and rarely goes in and out of barren mountains and mountains, although he thinks that this place is so dark, but the plants are so lush and a little strange, so he didn't go to his heart, but smiled at Xiaoru: "Daughter-in-law, if you don't go over to see it again, your family is going to jump to your feet." ”
As soon as Lou Yi said, Xiao Ru turned his head to look at Duoduo with a look of grievance, walked around on the ground, glanced at it again, fell on the stone slab, seemed to be extremely painful, and the little beast whose body twitched from time to time smiled, walked over and patted Duoduo's head: "You are always not home these days, I also found a husband for your little thing, and I made trouble for a long time, and I came here to play." ”
Xiao Ru walked over and tried the body temperature of the little beast, the body temperature was slightly high, about a little low-grade fever, and when she saw the little thing curled up in a ball, she shouted that her stomach hurt, and pressed her little belly again. frowned and said, "Xianggong, hand over my medicine box." ”
Lou Yi carried the medicine box, walked to Xiao Ru's side, and squatted down curiously, watching his wife take out a small ceramic bottle from the medicine box, pour out a small pinch of powder from it, throw it into a bamboo tube, and scoop some water from the lake. ”
Xiao Ru was also a little surprised, and frowned, "It's just the medicine powder I usually prepare to induce vomiting...... "There was no such fragrance before, Xiao Ru looked at the lake thoughtfully, could it be, the reason for the lake?"
"Squeak ......"
was pulled by Duoduo's trouser legs. Xiao Ru shook her head, slapped the little monkey aside, held up the little beast's head, and coaxed it to open its mouth, not to mention, this little thing is quite obedient, and actually obediently let Xiao Ru feed the potion in.
As soon as the potion was poured in, the little beast seemed to be writhing on the stone slab in pain, and the tip of the little nose was stained with beads of sweat.
"Squeak ......"
"Don't make noise, it's normal." Xiaoru picked up Duoduo and threw it on Lou Yi's shoulder. Leaning down, he carefully stroked the little beast's fur and smiled, "Little thing, it'll be fine soon." ”
With Xiao Ru's soft words, the little beast gradually quieted down, and began to vomit, and after a while, it spit out a pile of foul-smelling booty, and after these dirty things were vomited, the little thing staggered to its feet.
Xiaoru smiled, and hurriedly poured water into a bamboo tube to rinse its mouth, "Okay, isn't this okay?" Don't eat indiscriminately in the future. ”
The little beast blinked, a pair of big eyes like a fox flashed with crystal brilliance, tilted its head sideways, didn't know what to think, actually flicked its tail, rubbed it, ran up to Xiao Ru's shoulder, and wrapped the big fluffy tail around Xiao Ru's slender neck. The little head melon rubbed against Xiao Ru's cheeks.
"Uh...... You want to come with me? Xiaoru was speechless, turned her head to look at the happy Duoduo, touched her forehead, and smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, I hope you don't be too picky." ”
Xiaoru and Lou Yi looked at each other for a long time before they smiled, "Let's go, it's best to rush home before dawn, otherwise, my mother should be worried." ”
Lou Yi shrugged his shoulders, grabbed his daughter-in-law's waist with one hand, followed Duoduo outside, left the cave, and entered the extremely beautiful big valley, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a good place." It's a pity that it's too remote, the road is not easy to find, and I don't know if there are fierce beasts, otherwise, when we are old, it is not bad to live in seclusion in such a place. ”
