Chapter 196 Mining Coptis chinensis
Song Dahai looked happy, and I hurriedly asked Song Dahai, "Brother Song, where are the Coptis chinensis you are talking about?" ”
Song Dahai pointed to a big tree on the cliff and said, "Look, you can see that Coptis chinensis is next to the root of that big tree. ”
I looked in the direction pointed by Song Dahai, and saw that on a cliff like a knife, there was a big tree, the big tree was dozens of zhang high from the ground, and the trunk of the big tree was very lush, and the trunk was deeply rooted in the cracks in the stone. The terrain where the trees are located is very steep, and there are few places to borrow your feet. I looked at it for a while, but I didn't find what Song Dahai said, so I asked Song Dahai, where is that Coptis chinensis?
Song Dahai said: "Take a look, it's right next to the root of that tree." ”
As soon as I heard this, I looked closely, and sure enough, I could faintly see that at the root of the big tree, I could faintly see many small flowers, which were yellow. Song Dahai said: "Bold, have you seen Xiaohua?" Those small flowers are Coptis chinensis, and all Coptis chinensis is picked on such a cliff. ”
As he spoke, he took out a rope for rock climbing, which was made of hair braided with hair, and on the head of the rope, there was a grappling hook with three claws. Such a grappling hook is specially used to grasp things and fix, climbing mountains and rocks, this is the only safety guarantee.
Song Dahai took the grappling hook and said to me: "Bold, you watch from below, I will go up to pick Coptis chinensis." ”
I said, "Brother Song, I'll go up with this, and you watch from below." ”
Song Dahai said: "Are you bold enough to climb this cliff?" ”
I said, "It's okay, Master taught us how to climb the cliff, and I will definitely be able to climb it." ”
As he spoke, he took the rope in Song Dahai's hand, and Song Dahai said: "If you are bold, you can try, if it really doesn't work, just come down from above, and I will go up again." I've climbed this before, and it should be okay. ”
I nodded, just hold the climbing rope with my hand, and then pick up the circle, look at a protruding stone, and then let go, the rope flew out, and hung on the stone at once, I saw the rope hanging on the stone, pulled it down, and grabbed the stone with the hook, Song Dahai saw this and said: "Be bold and do it, just look at your exposed hand, which is a family." ”
I said, "It's okay, Brother Song, I'll go up." ”
As he spoke, he took down the things on his body and the rifle, the ghost head knife could not be taken down, this was kept to prevent danger, after putting down the things, he tied his waist vigorously, and cleaned up the rope all over his body, and then spit two mouthfuls of spit into the palm of his hand, grabbed the rope and climbed up. It was easy to climb up at first, and it didn't take a few clicks to climb to where the grappling hook had caught. I was in that place, and after a short break, Song Dahai asked me below, "Bold, are you okay?" ”
I said above: "Brother Dahai, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
After saying that, I took off the grappling hook of the climbing rope, then picked it up with my arm again, and after a few rounds, I saw a protruding rock, hooked directly on it, and pulled it tightly and continued to climb up. Halfway up the climb like this, I had a hard time. Above me was a very smooth cliff, this cliff was seven or eight feet high, and the cliff was very smooth, and there was no place to borrow strength.
I stood on a protruding rock, and then looked for a place to borrow strength, and then I found that more than a foot away from me, there was a place where I could borrow strength, and there were cliffs, and there were many protrusions and cracks, and it was much better to climb than I had here.
But how to pass, I am a little worried, although only more than a zhang distance, if on the ground, a few steps can pass, this is already from the ground more than ten zhang high cliff, converted, there must be thirty or forty meters high, I can only use this climbing rope to swing horizontally, this horizontal swing, but very dangerous, because can make strength, only a few grappling hooks of the climbing rope, in case you can't bear it, then fall, you have to break your bones.
I looked there, looking for a place where I could borrow strength, and then suddenly I found that there was a small tree more than three feet high, rooted in the stone crevice of the cliff, this tree may be the most tenacious tree, ordinary trees, need to take root in the deep soil, but the trees on the cliff can't, their roots can only be rooted in the barren stone crevice, and then diagonally try to grow up.
I saw that this tree was the thickness of a rolling pin, and I thought to myself, this is it, I can use the power of this tree and swing my body to another tree. So I picked up the rope, aimed at the small tree, flew the grappling hook directly, after the grappling hook touched the small tree, and then turned around a few times, and hung firmly on the tree, I dragged and found that the small tree was a little shaky, the tree on the cliff, but not a tree on the flat ground, there was no huge root system, it was easy to pull out of the stone cracks in the cliff.
I looked up at the current Coptis chinensis, it was getting closer and closer to me, the flowers on it were seen clearly, and now I had to pick Coptis chinensis immediately, so I gritted my teeth, and then my hind legs were forced, and I swung my body directly, just when my body was about to pass, suddenly the roots of the small tree were pulled out of the cracks in the stone, and my body fell down at once, this situation is very dangerous, as long as I can't grasp things for a while, I will fall directly.
With the instinctive reaction of my body, I grabbed a stone next to me at once, and then my body slid down, and the tree in my hand fell down, and my belly came into contact with the stone, and then a piercing pain came, and I felt that my belly must be broken.
I didn't dare to throw the rope with my hands, but fortunately the tumbling tree broke away from the rope, and I hung in the air, grasping the stone with my hands, and then my feet looked for a place to borrow strength, and I slowly climbed up with both arms. When I climbed up, I saw that my clothes were torn and covered in blood, but it was fine, just a little flesh wound.
At this time, Song Dahai was frightened, and shouted loudly below, I took a breath of pain from above, and then said loudly below: "Brother Dahai, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
After I finished speaking, I rested for a while, the wound on my stomach didn't need to be treated now, I just wiped it with my clothes casually, and then continued to climb up. When I got to the top, it was easier to climb, but the main thing was that there were more trees, and my grappling hook could easily grab small trees.
At the last moment, my heart was pounding, and I felt that my strength was almost exhausted, but happily, the big tree was not high, and now I could clearly see Coptis chinensis. Coptis chinensis is the kind of crushed leaf. In the middle of the clumps of Coptis chinensis, there is a kind of yellow flower, those yellow flowers are very good-looking, exuding a strong medicinal smell, I look at Coptis chinensis, I feel my strength, as if it has recovered.
So while he was recovering his strength, he directly hooked the big tree with a climbing rope and climbed up with a few strokes. Finally arrived at the big tree, this big tree has gone through many years of vicissitudes, the bark has been mottled, there are a lot of vines on the tree, those vines have the thickness of fingers, I dragged the vines, very strong, I dragged the vines, climbed to the top of the tree, and then lay there all at once, panting hard, feeling that I was tired and couldn't do it, I needed to rest.
I rested for a while, got up from the tree, and looked behind the tree, and there was a cave next to the big tree, and the cave was so dark that I couldn't see anything, and the hole was not very big, and one could barely get into it. There are holes in the mountain, this is normal, I turned around from the tree, when I looked down, suddenly I felt a little bit at a glance of the mountains, the big trees in the wolf ditch were all under my feet, green and green, Song Dahai was under my feet, and it became very small.
After watching for a while, I smelled the smell of medicine and remembered what I was doing here, so I lay on the trunk of the tree, and then used my hands to pick the coptis with yellow flowers. These Caucass grow in the most fertile place at the root of the tree, the whole grass is useful, the grass leaves are fat, the flower color is beautiful, when I was lying on my stomach, I suddenly felt a little wrong, something was staring at me, I was hairy all over, I was shocked, quickly reached out and pulled out the ghost head knife, and looked behind me.
