Chapter 33 Immortal Food

The pile of weeds in front of him, which looks like a lily, is Huangjing, which he only knew when he was very young when he looked at his grandfather's "Compendium of Materia Medica", otherwise even if he was a mountain man living in the mountains, he would not know this medicinal material.

Huangjing is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, because of the miraculous effect of the medicine, it is more and more mysterious, and some people also believe that it is the food of the immortals. He remembered that there was also a legend about Huangjing in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

The maidservant of a wealthy family in Linchuan fled into the mountains because she could not bear the abuse of her master, and sat by the mountain stream for a long time because she was hungry and tired.

She found a weed beside her, with tender green and lovely leaves, so she pulled it up and put it in the water to wash the soil, and then ate the grass with roots and leaves.

She thought it was beautiful, so she plucked a lot of it and feasted on it.

Later, she used this grass to satisfy her hunger in the mountains. After a while, I gradually felt that my body became lighter and stronger.

She rested under a big tree every night, and one night in her sleep she suddenly heard a wild beast walking in the grass, and she thought it was a tiger, so she was very afraid.

I wanted to go up to the tree to take refuge, but just as I was thinking, my body was leaning on the treetops.

When dawn came, I thought I should climb down from the tree, and suddenly my body fluttered to the ground.

In this way, wherever she thought, her body drifted away, and she floated like a bird from one hilltop to the other.

A few years later, a servant of the rich family went into the mountains to cut wood and found her, so he went back and reported to his master, who immediately sent someone to catch her, but he could not catch her.

One day when I met her under a cliff, I opened a net to round up from three sides, and she jumped into the air to the top of the cliff.

The master was even more frightened and determined to catch her. The master thought, "Does this slave have a fairy bone?"

Later, he thought that he might have eaten some kind of elixir, so he asked someone to prepare a delicious meal and lure her on the road where she often passed.

This slave smelled the fragrance of the world's food, and sure enough, she came and ate the good food and vegetables.

After a few days, she could no longer fly as lightly as before, and was caught by her master. After interrogation, she told the truth and pointed out to her master the wild grass she ate every day, which was yellow essence.

This story is very magical, although he exaggerates the role of Huang Jing - "wear light for a long time, prolong life without hunger".

When he grew up, Xia Li knew that Huangjing was indeed a tonic, which had been verified by long-term clinical practice, and had the effects of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys.

Of course, it is not that it has a greater effect than ginseng, but that this thing is difficult to grow artificially, so it can only be grown in the wild, and Huangjing is the same as ginseng, the longer it grows, the greater the medicinal effect.

"Good things, you have to take them." It was a surprise to meet Huang Jing this time, he didn't expect that there would be Huang Jing in this vast Wu Mountain, after all, he had never heard of it before.

After transplanting in the space, Xia Li patted the soil on his hands and left satisfied.

This was extremely satisfying for a trip to the mountains, he didn't expect that the resources in the depths of the mountains were so rich, he originally planned to stay in the mountains for two or three days to look for a long time, but he didn't expect to find it in only one day.

He knew that he might get more by staying two more days, but he wasn't greedy, and sometimes he knew that he could be happy.

However, it was getting late outside, and he was going to spend the night in the mountains with the blind bear, after all, it would be a little troublesome to explain when he came home so late.

He asked the blind bear to lead the way, and Xia Li knew that this guy must have a fixed cave.

When the bear learned that Xia Li was going to stay with him for another night, he was naturally happy, and led Xia Li to his cave.

When he came to the bear blind man's cave, he didn't expect that it was quite clean inside, and there was no mess as he imagined.

The bear's nest does not seem to be completely natural, judging from the traces next to it, it should be dug out by the bear's paws.

But the space is not small, and it is not a problem to accommodate Xia Li and the bear.

When night fell, darkness covered the land, and the mountains in March were still a little cold, so Xia Li went out and picked up some hay and branches.

Take out a match from the space and light the firewood, because it is in the cave, but it is not afraid of the fire to attract wild beasts, and this is the territory of dogs and bears, and there are usually few wild beasts who dare to come to the door.

After all, this guy is also the top part of the food chain in the mountains and forests, maybe there are beasts that can beat it, but the beasts are not stupid, and the cost performance of treating this guy as food is too low, and it is easy to be thankless.

Taking advantage of the summer fire, the bear took time to go out and came back with two hares and a few crucian carp.

He could understand the fish, but how the hare was caught, he couldn't guess even if he wanted to.

Xia Li took a dagger to dispose of the fish and hares, and then found a branch and put the processed fish and hares on the fire.

Originally, he came with food to eat this time, but there is meat to eat, who still eats those dry things, although there are no seasonings and the like, but natural ingredients with natural eating methods is also a rare enjoyment.

Originally, the blind bear came back after eating by the river, but the first time he smelled the smell of the fish cooked, the saliva at the corner of his mouth instantly flowed down uncontrollably.

All this was seen by Xia Li, and he handed over the one that had been roasted first.

"You have worked hard today, and you have helped me so much, this is to thank you."

After speaking, he took out ten bottles of monkey wine and two bottles of nutrient solution from the space and put them on the ground.

"These are also for you, save some wine and drink, as for this nutrient solution, don't drink it all at once, I don't know when I come over next time, if you fight with other beasts in the mountains, you will drink it if you are injured."

The bear had the feeling of being hit on the head by happiness, and it was the first time he had seen so much monkey wine.

As for the nutrient solution, it has a natural attraction to its genes.

Eating grilled fish that he had never eaten and drinking mellow monkey wine, Xiong Blind felt that Xiong Sheng was too happy.

After eating the grilled fish, it was still a little unsatisfied, but it caught three of them, and they were all eaten.

After Xia Li saw it, an idea couldn't help but come to his mind, and he took out the matchbox in the space.

"This is a match, you can take the gunpowder in it and wipe it lightly here." Xia Li wants to teach the blind bear how to use fire to achieve the freedom of grilling fish.

The blind bear took the matchbox and glanced at Xia Li, Xia Li gave it an encouraging look, and then the blind bear imitated Xia Li's actions just now.

With a "snap", the fire broke without a match.

"No, you're too strong." Bears also have five claws, but they are not as agile as primates such as monkeys, so it is difficult to control the force to prevent matches from breaking.

After teaching all night, it may have something to do with drinking nutrient solution regularly, and after discarding a box of matches, the blind bear finally lit the matches.

The blind bear was very happy when he saw the light, and Xia Li was also relieved, after all, there was no waste of time this night.

He had prepared a lot of matches in the space, and he took out two new boxes and threw them at it.

Teaching it to use matches is actually nothing, this can be regarded as Xia Li's bad taste, and he was a little excited at the thought of the bear catching a fish and not eating it immediately, but lighting a fire to roast and eat it.

The firewood slowly burned out, the surroundings also darkened, and from time to time there were the cries of various beasts outside, and the mountains and forests at this time were the most dangerous, and most of the beasts would choose to come out at night to hunt.

I couldn't hold it until midnight, so Xia Li took out the quilt and spread it on the ground and fell asleep.

When he woke up in the morning, he somehow locked himself in the arms of the blind bear, who had already woken up, but saw that the master had not woken up yet, and lay there motionless, for fear of waking him.

Xia Li immediately got up, then put away the quilt and looked at the rising sun outside the cave.

"I'm back, and there's a push behind me waiting for me to deal with."

The bear took Xia Li's hand pitifully, a little reluctant.

"Be obedient, when the time is ripe in the future, see if it is possible to take you down the mountain."

As if he understood, the bear waited for that day to come.
