The four of them followed Lao Li Tou all the way along the Zizhu River, and Long Zijing wanted to learn more information about the valley from Lao Li Tou's mouth, so he asked: "Uncle, what is the seventy-two seven?" ”
"Seventy-two seven are also Chinese herbal medicines in the valley: white notoginseng, lily seven, baggage seven, bud valley seven, cup seven, whip rod seven, ice tray seven, vegetable seed seven, mountain piercing seven, shallots seven, bean leaves seven, pair of leaves seven, wind seven, moth seven, tuberculosis seven, phoenix tail seven, toad seven, sea dragon seven, black wind seven, red hair seven, red notoginseng, monkey seven, magnolia bark seven, tiger palm seven, golden seven, yellow trick seven, chicken bone seven, chicken heart seven, chicken blood seven, chicken feet seven, scissors seven, elderbone seven, golden retriever seven, leek seven, chrysanthemum notoginseng, bracken seven, button seven, pepper seven, leper belly seven, Lei Gong Seven, Cold Water Seven, Dragon Head Seven, Radish Seven, Linen Cloth Seven, Horse Stick Seven, Wheat Hanging Seven, Hair Rapeseed Seven, Horn Seven, Archway Seven, Crab Seven, Broken Blood Seven, Buckwheat Seven, Broom Seven, Paulownia Seven, Snake Valley Seven, Stone Silkworm Seven, Paddy Field Seven, Abacus Seven, Iron Wire Seven, Copper Bone Seven, Gong Seven, Tuhuang Seven, Turtle Seven, Wujin Seven, Centipede Seven, Little Cabbage Seven, Small Leaf Button Seven, Scorpion Seven, Blood Seven, Duck Foot Seven, Rock Sanqi, Rock Sheep Horn Seven, Sheep Horn Seven, Wool Tendon, An Arrow, Mandarin Duck Seven, Cloud Fog Seven, Sesame Seven, cinnabar seven, pig hair seven, bamboo knot seven, bamboo leaf seven......"
The old man almost didn't come over in one breath, took a big breath and continued: "About this "seven", seven is a coincidence, there are seven stars in the sky, people have seven emotions, there are seven orders of sound, and there are seven colors in color. Therefore, herbalists and medicine farmers often call rare and valuable herbs "seven". Such as blood notoginseng, sackcloth seven, crab seven, abacus seven...... And so on, most of them are named after the shape of the drug, and the number of them is too numerous to mention. But the most precious ones are the white three seven and the button seven. ”
The white notoginseng is also quite similar to the northeast three-person show, the field of guangxi notoginseng, the stem and leaves, the herb medicine farmer described its image as: "three branches and seven leaves and five trees, a leek flower in the middle." "Its underground rhizome is like a bamboo knot, grow a section every year, after the stem and leaves die in late autumn, leave a lamp-shaped nest in the root, and then stretch forward in the next year, I have dug a plant in the valley to grow a hundred years of white notoginseng, can be described as a rare treasure, white notoginseng is not like ginseng is better than ginseng, the herbalist said that it has the effect of curing "five tuberculosis and seven wounds inside", it is a holy medicine for nourishing and strengthening. The shape of button seven is similar to that of white notoginseng, but the underground root is slender, and the knots are like clothing buttons, and its leaves are also called ginseng leaves, and the function is the same as that of white notoginseng, but the medicinal power is weak, because of ruthless digging. Treasures that have been around for decades are hard to find. ”
Longgang asked: "Is that hundred-year-old Bai Sanqi still kept?" ”
"It has been sold a long time ago, and the money is used for the children to buy a house in the city and marry a daughter-in-law."
"Why are you left alone in this mountain village if you have children? How nice it was to live in the city with kids. ”
Lao Li Tou looked around and said: "I won't go anywhere, this is my home, the place where I was born and raised for a lifetime, introducing my hometown to you people is the proudest thing for me, even if I die, I will die in this mountain." ”
The sorrow has been broken and there is no reason to get drunk, and before the wine arrives, it will become tears first. Lao Li Tou's words also touched Longgang's heart, with the pace of the three of Purple Kite, it turned out that no matter where they were, missing someone, even a relative, really has nothing to do with time,
Homesickness is an eternal sore spot in Longgang's heart, people don't think about it, but it hurts, and the pain is also thinking, and the bitter taste is always entangled in whether leaving the hometown is a mistake that is destined to be made.
After walking along the river for a few hours, before entering the depths of Shennongjia, Lao Li Tou said: "There is a single wooden bridge in front, and I will invite everyone to eat grilled fish on that bridge in the past." ”
As soon as he heard the grilled fish, the greedy Brother Kan immediately felt ahead and said, "What kind of bridge are you crossing!" The water was no more than the calves, so I quickly flowed over and ate the grilled fish. ”
The old man hurriedly stopped Brother Kan, who was braiding his trouser legs, "This can't be helped, the water level is much deeper than just now, and the water flow is much faster, don't take the risk, let's cross the bridge." ”
The four people who were fascinated walked to the Zizhu River to watch, only to find that the river water could not be compared with the situation when they first went down the valley, the river became wider, the water was deep and rapid, and the small stream that was unknown just now was already unfathomable. ”
Helpless Brother Kan can only choose a single wooden bridge, the single wooden bridge is built by Lao Li Tou with his friends when he was young, and now he is the only one left, this single wooden bridge is a pile of stones in the middle of the river with a small bowl of thick wood to the river bank, the wood is swaying and too close to the water surface to appear wet and slippery, and the wood is not even, people walking on it if there is an imbalance will fall into the river.
Brother Kan first tried his hands and feet on a single wood not far from the shore, but he didn't even take five steps before he fell, "It's so difficult to walk, I knew that I would have crossed the river and walked to the opposite side at the beginning." ”
Long Ziyan heard it and said, "Yes, old man, why can't we go to the other side first at the beginning, isn't it safer and less labor-saving?" ”
"No, absolutely not!" Lao Li Tou had a very tough attitude, "You must not enter the water, and when you want to cross the bridge, you must be careful not to fall into the water, otherwise you won't even know how to die." ”
"It's going to die, what's so special about this water?"
"There are poisonous substances hidden in the Zizhu River, and once it is targeted, there is only one way to die."
Longgang pulled the purple kite by the river back and asked, "What poison?" ”
Lao Li Tou didn't seem to want to answer, but said: "You won't believe this, in short, if you want to go forward, you must first cross this single-wood bridge, which is the only way to get to the other side." ”
The four of them decided to listen to Lao Li Tou's arrangement, in order to be able to walk steadily, Long Ziyan waved a jade handle bronze sword and cut five tree poles for support, holding one to give Lao Li Tou, the tree pole has not yet arrived but only saw Lao Li Tou majestically on the single wooden bridge, as if walking on the ground without shaking so directly to the opposite bank, and beckoned the four people to pass.
The stunned four people also admired this scene, propping up the tree pole and walking onto the single-wood bridge, the purple kite walked in the front, Longgang assisted behind him, and Long Ziyan also supported Brother Kan who was shaking three steps at the back.
The four of them rubbed forward on the single wood in small steps, and slowly moved to the opposite bank, and when they were about to reach the shore, Long Ziyan found that there was a slender and slender thing like a water snake in the river, due to the increase in the depth of the water level, the clarity was also greatly reduced, and when he was looking at that thing, it cracked several sections in an instant, and they were scattered in the river.
When the four of them arrived on the other side, Lao Li Tou told them to pay more attention to safety from now on, and then go a little further to reach the mysterious Guanfeng Fish Cave, and they must arrive before twelve o'clock, otherwise there will be no fresh grilled fish to eat.
