Chapter 6 This is how the story of tasting herbs came about~
The trees are old in autumn, and the birds return with the sunset.
On autumn evenings, the sun began to gradually retract its blinding light, and only a small amount of light shone through the cracks in the trees and directly onto the ground.
As time passed, the sunset began to fall down to the west mountain, and the sunlight at this moment was neither dazzling nor scorching, and the temperature was very just right.
Some of the villagers who had been working all day had already finished all the work in the fields, and at this moment they were hurrying towards their homes with a few roosters or ducks they had raised.
The setting sun followed them, as if it was constantly driving them. And in front of them, there was a lengthened shadow.
Li Hu's mother, Zhang Fang, lifted her lumbar spine that had been bent all day because of labor, her left hand was holding a hoe, and her right hand was shaking into a fist, gently beating her spine.
I saw that she looked at the sky a little, and then she knew the approximate time of the day. Therefore, she couldn't help but say, "Little fox, it's not too early to see this day, we should go back to cooking." Today's work in the field, let's do it for the time being!"
After Li Hu heard his mother's words, he began to stop the work in his hand, and then stood up in the same way, stretching his waist a little tiredly.
I saw that the surrounding villagers had begun to stop working one after another, and the village had even begun to rise continuously, and those milky white curling smoke had stopped.
So in order to take care of his parents' health, Li Hu readily agreed to his mother Zhang Fang's suggestion. "Huh, it looks like it's getting late! Mom, Dad, or we'll do it here today, and we'll continue to do it tomorrow!"
Li Changming heard the conversation between Li Hu's mother and son, and also lifted his old waist, and said with a smile: "Okay! Anyway, the sun is going down, if it is a little later for a while, it is estimated that I will have to go back in the dark!"
Autumn evenings darken very quickly, unlike those summer days, when it doesn't get completely dark until seven or eight o'clock.
Zhang Fang also laughed, shook his head gently, and couldn't help but joke with Li Changming: "Old man, you said you, your old waist is willing to toss by yourself, but you still let Xiaohu, a person who hasn't done farm work for several years, come to toss with you, don't you have nothing to do to do? Hurry up, you two go back first, cook and wait for me!"
Li Hu thought that his mother was planning to go home together, but now it sounded like it wasn't the case, so he couldn't help but ask directly, "Mom, you let our grandfather go back first, what about you?"
Zhang Fang seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still said it honestly. "Don't you see that there are a lot of weeds in the ground today, they are almost dry after a day of sunshine, and if I burn them later, then when we plant them, there will be grass ash to fertilize the fields!"
Li Hu listened to Zhang Fang's explanation, and his heart began to become a little clear. "I see...... But why do we have to rush to burn it at this time? if we wait until tomorrow, then we can do it!"
Zhang Fang seemed to be amused by Li Hu's words, and the whole person looked like she couldn't help laughing. "Silly boy, if I don't burn these weeds later, they'll be wet with dew again tomorrow morning!
After Li Hu listened, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. As a college graduate, he would be so shallow about these agricultural knowledge!
But shame is shame, after some analysis, Li Hu planned to burn weeds directly on himself in order not to let his parents work too hard.
"Dad, Mom, you better go back first! I'll take care of the matter of burning the weeds! After all, I'm a young man, and there will be more when I run out of strength, so you can rest and go!"
Li Hu directly met his mother's eyes, looking so resolute, and Zhang Fang did not allow any chance to refuse!
Zhang Fang originally wanted to open his mouth to refuse Li Hu, but after seeing Li Hu's resolute attitude, he directly changed his words. "In that case, well, just be careful when you burn the weeds!"
Li Hu nodded heavily, and then watched his parents leave the field and walk in the direction of their home.
Then Li Hu directly got busy unceremoniously, and gathered all the weeds scattered on the ground with a hoe, forming a tall pile of weeds, which looked like a small hill.
"Huh, what is this?"
When Li Hu used his hoe again to hook a small pile of weeds together, he couldn't help but see a green shadow in the weeds full of withered yellow weeds.
Li Hu picked up the touch of green, but found that it was a particularly peculiar-looking plant, which was a strange appearance that he had never seen before!
I only saw this plant, which was a tuber in the shape of a flat spherical shape, with a flat top, roots around it, and several lateral bud eyes. The petioles are cylindrical, and the leaves are ornithine-shaped.
Although on the surface, it looks like it is similar to clover, but the clover Li Hu knows that it only has four or five leaves, and it is oval. However, the plant in front of me has more than a dozen leaves, and the leaves are still extremely long!
It's certainly not a clover tree!
Although Li Hu knew that this plant was not a clover grass, he couldn't recognize what this plant was.
Especially when he held this strange plant, he only felt that the plant in his hand had a slippery feeling, as if there was a layer of membranous substance on the surface of the plant!
"It's strange, the other weeds have become extremely yellow after a day of exposure, but why is this plant still so green? Could it be that this plant has some extraordinary ability, or something special?"
Even if Li Hu looked up and down, left and right, he still couldn't see the reason why he came.
So Li Hu, who was depressed, had no choice but to put this strange plant aside, and then set the pile of yellow weeds on fire, and the flames rose all of a sudden.
As the flames rose rapidly, when Li Hu was watching the pile of weeds burning, Li Hu, who was bored, took the strange plant again.
Looking at it, Li Hu suddenly slapped his head suddenly, and then said: "Tsk! Why am I so confused? You must know that I am now a person with the "Medicine King System"! If you want to know what this strange plant is, let me check it out!"
"Medicine King System"!
Medicinal material identification, open!
As soon as Li Hu thought of it, he acted directly without hesitation, and immediately conducted a medicinal material identification of the strange plant in his hand.
"Tick! name unknown. Looks like a medicinal herb. Medicinal properties unknown. Efficacy unknown. ...... Unknown ......"
Hearing the results of the identification of this strange plant in the "Medicine King System", a series of so many unknowns, Li Hu couldn't help but become a little dumbfounded.
Looks like a medicinal herb?
Otherwise unknown?
Although the Medicine King System can identify medicinal materials, the host now only has a certain ability to identify medicinal materials! That is to say, the knowledge base of medicinal materials that the host now has is not complete. If you need to identify this plant that looks like a medicinal herb, you need to try the herb yourself by the host, and then the "Medicine King System" will determine it, so as to fill the gap in the host's medicinal material knowledge base!"
Regarding the identification results of the medicinal materials of the "Medicine King System", Li Hu, who was still in a state of confusion, suddenly sounded the voice of the "Medicine King System" again in his mind without warning.
After Li Hu listened to the voice in his head, he was stunned for a moment at first, and then couldn't help but become a little cryless without tears, "What kind of broken system is this? Oh no, what about the pit host?! It feels like you can say unceremoniously that you don't need to explain the pit at all!"
Originally, when Li Hu was extremely nervous, he resolutely accepted this "Medicine King System", which already required a lot of courage. But now that I haven't enjoyed much of the benefits, why is it that all of a sudden it's like a different style of painting, and it's just become unrecognizable?
But things have come to this point, and it seems that there is no turning back, right?
Under the burning flames, the constantly jumping flames reflected Li Hu's face brightly and uncertainly, making it impossible to see what his face was.
"Hey, hey, Hey, Medicine King System, are you still there, if this plant is a poisonous weed, then what should I do with my little life?!"
In the end, Li Hu had to choose a compromise.
After all, who called himself inexplicably entangled by the "Medicine King System"?
"Tick! When the host is trying medicinal materials, the "Medicine King System" will give the function of [Exquisite Jade Body], so that the host can be immune to all poisons, and there is no danger to life at all!
After listening to the explanation of "Medicine King System", Li Hu really became completely dumbfounded......
If you have to experience the medicinal properties of those medicinal materials for yourself, then this little life of your own, wouldn't it be okay to die and live, at least you have to die several times?!
"Tick, please try the herbs on the host!"
In addition to Li Hu's distraction, the "Medicine King System" actually made a sound again, and it was also a prompt urging Li Hu to try medicinal materials!
"Tick, please try the herbs on the host!"
Seeing that Li Hu didn't have any reaction, the "Medicine King System" made a voice again, and the tone was exactly the same as the one in front.
"Tick, please try the herbs on the host!"
"Tick, please try the herbs on the host!"
"Tick ......"
When Li Hu reacted again, he only felt that his head was about to explode.
The prompts of "Medicine King System" said the same thing in unison, as if they were constantly playing in a loop, which made Li Hu a little dizzy.
Damn, fight!
Li Hu gritted his teeth fiercely.
Because he knew that if he didn't try medicinal materials again, he would not be poisoned by then, and I am afraid that he would have to be made into a nervous breakdown by this "Medicine King System"!
"Click!
Li Hu closed his eyes suddenly, and then without hesitation, he stuffed the strange plant in his hand directly into his mouth, and bit it twice in a row.
Before Li Hu could chew it a few times, he began to feel a spicy taste.
I thought that this was just it, but after Li Hu swallowed the juice, he felt that his throat was extremely dry and had a burning sensation.
Immediately after, Li Hu felt that his lips began to swell, and there was even a slight fever.
"it, this can't be some kind of aphrodisiac herb, right?!"
Li Hu felt the changes brought about by eating this strange plant, and couldn't help but scream unceremoniously.
But it didn't take long for Li Hu's voice to stop abruptly!
Because of Li Hu at this moment, he was about to feel that his tongue no longer belonged to him, and his tongue was so numb that he didn't have any sense.
At the same time, Li Hu had become speechless. Even if he wanted to speak, it was extremely difficult to open his mouth!
Li Hu only felt that in his heart, there were thousands of divine beasts rushing by......
This feeling of feeling uncomfortable and unable to shout seems to be like a silent pain. made Li Hu's face look particularly desolate under the light of the flames. Especially his big sausage mouth, which is even more terrifying!
"Di! Tiannanxing, there is a famous Nanxing, a medicine dog. It has a bitter taste, a warm nature, and is very toxic! It is a warm expectorant, antispasmodic, and analgesic. Contains soap, toxic when taken raw. ”
About half an hour later, the voice of "Medicine King System" suddenly sounded in Li Hu's head.
Immediately afterwards, Li Hu could clearly feel that the symptoms on his body began to slowly subside like a low tide.
"Whew~"
Li Hu, who had regained his senses, couldn't help but feel an unprecedented ease in his tongue, which made him take a deep breath of fresh air.
It's just that Li Hu's face is still so terrifyingly pale. It looks like he's so frightened, and he looks like he's having palpitations.
After burning for so long, the pile of withered yellow weeds had already turned into a pile of grass ash. There were only sporadic fires, still flickering and extinguishing.
Li Hu directly picked up the hoe on the ground, although he looked a little embarrassed, but he seemed to be unaware of it, and left here directly.
