Pick up the river to collect medicine

The first thing to be picked is the Yolan grass, which is known as the nemesis of deep closure wounds, this herb is small, and it is a short-season type that grows and flowers and withers when it withers, but fortunately, this grass is special, they bloom regardless of season, so you can get medicine from the filaments in it all year round.

They usually grow in damp, dark, and confined spaces, like those near the river, where there are holes that have been punched by mice, and you are sure to find one of them if you look inside.

Originally, Chen Guang wanted to ask Yi De to go to the river outside the village to find a few trees, and it was best to catch a few fish during the period, after all, with Yi De's talent for affinity with small animals, it is estimated that those fish will jump into Yi De's basket by themselves. Then I went up to the mountains and forests behind me to see if I could find some fresh tiger vines.

But as soon as this proposal was spoken, Yide refused without even thinking about it. The reason is that there may be monsters in the mountains and forests, and no one has to take care of it.

Chen Guang, who was forced to agree, had no choice but to follow Yi De down to the river to find Youlan grass first.

The river looks quite long, and if you look at it along the body of the snake, its source should be the mountain forest where the demon beasts live not far away, and the other side leads to a forest, and there may be a lake in it.

Going down the stairs next to the small bridge, there is a large stone that can be stepped on the water, judging from the traces in it, this place should have been used to wash clothes, probably because of the fact that the two brothers still live here, this side does not look so dirty, at least except for the past two days, this place has been used some time ago.

The water in this river is quite clear, and if it weren't for the fact that there is a well in the village, Yi De even suspected that the two Tiezhu brothers would have survived on the water supply of this river.

Glancing at his father, who was already looking for herbs not far away, Yide also pulled the hem of his trousers to his thigh, and then gently stepped on the dirt in the water. As soon as he stretched out his feet, Yi De felt that the river water was as cold as freshly melted ice water, but the weather at this time was obviously so hot, why did this water not mean to be scalded at all.

And the soft mud underneath, like a melt-in-your-mouth muffin, has already begun to glow with muddy water before you even step on it, let alone after stepping on it. The dirt was like the swamp he had encountered before, but the mud under the water was too shallow to swallow him up.

Originally, the water was as deep as the calf, but after stepping on it, I found that with the depth under the mud, the water surface could at least touch Yide's thighs.

So he grabbed the legs of his trousers with both hands, and pulled them up hard from time to time, while also bending down to see if there would be a few small holes on either side of the river.

As if they had agreed, one went to the source, the other to the end.

After looking for a long time, Yi De was tired from bending over, and when he looked back, if his eyesight was a little worse, Yi De couldn't even see the black spots that his father had turned into, he looked back, and he was at least two or three hundred meters away from the bridge down the river, but he didn't expect to walk for so long, not only did he not gain anything on his side, but even his father's side did not make a call to find it.

He looked up at the sun above, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with one free hand, and if the conditions allowed, he even wanted to deal with the sweat behind his back, but unfortunately, it had been sucked clean by his clothes.

Feeling such a hot weather, Yide finally knew why he didn't find a single fish after walking on the waterway for so long, let alone fish, not even shrimp fry, because it was too sunny, although the river water was very cool, there should be no fish coming out to bask in the sun.

He looked at his surroundings, the river was lined with overgrown flatlands, and there was not a single animal on it, but it was difficult to say if there would be reptiles such as snakes in it, and if he could, he really wanted to ask a few little ones to help find it, but it was a pity.

He looked again at the forest ahead, and from here he could see a huge lake, and the river was a small tributary of it. And this forest, in fact, when you look closer, you know that it is not so much a forest as a few rows of large trees growing around the lake.

It looks like it's shady, maybe there's going to be there? Thinking so, Yi De glanced back at his father, who was still struggling to find herbs in the sun, and then began to take one step at a time, looking down at each step.

After walking forward for a while, the water here was getting deeper and deeper, and when he came here, Yi De had already seen that his trouser legs were more than half wet, so he pulled them up again. Suddenly, as if he had seen a treasure, he stepped forward, completely ignoring the fact that he had stepped too hard, causing the stirred up river to splash his clothes.

It turned out that there was a cave blocked by weeds on the right bank of the river not far ahead, and if it weren't for Yi De's good eyes, maybe it would have been covered by this grass.

He hurried over, pulled the grass and vines away, looked inside through the sunlight, and sure enough, there was a finger-high Yolan grass rooted in it.

Yi De was a little excited, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and reached in, not afraid that any animal inside would bite him, that is, he pulled out the Youlan grass with roots.

But after pulling it out, I found that although a few slender branches and leaves of this yulan grass were still white, the flowers in the middle had withered and there was not a single filament.

Originally, the branches and leaves of the eulan grass were white, and if it was not in bloom, the buds would be closed and drooping like lanterns. But once the tweed blooms, it will raise its head and spread out countless filigree, as beautiful as a meteor shower falling from the sky, and this filigree is the main medicine. When the filaments fall off, the branches and leaves will turn yellow, and eventually die.

In other words, the Yulan grass that Yide found was a herb that happened to have withered and had little medicinal value. But because it's not completely dead, go back and process it, and it should have a little effect.

Thinking about it, Yi De put it in his coat pocket and continued to walk forward. Since there is one here, maybe you can meet a few more in front of you, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find the Yulan grass that has not withered.

Even if you are unlucky, all of them are withered, and those few trees add up, no matter how weak the medicinal effect is, it will not be said to be worthless. Unless you really haven't encountered a single one.

If you find one, it's not a wasted return, Yi De thought, maybe his father didn't find any of them.

Continuing on, as he expected, these caves did begin to appear one after another, but I don't know if it was because of the luck or if it was too bad, none of the several caves that appeared in this row had yulan grass.

Further on, Yi De realized that he had entered the forest.

The trees on both sides of the river are sky-high, and each one is so large that it would take two people to join hands to enclose it, but the trees are planted in strange places, and they are regularly spaced apart, just like planting seedlings, and the seedlings are the same interval from seedling to seedling.

In other words, this forest was planted by someone before, and it may have been around the lake in the middle at that time, and the reason for planting this forest is probably to prevent the lake from flooding or to protect the lake from being seen by the outside world.

In any case, it is unrealistic to think that the trees planted can grow so tall and not in a hundred years, unless the lake has some capacity to promote the rapid growth of plants.

Thinking like this, Yide became interested in the lake in front of him, and he wanted to go ashore and see his surroundings. So he pulled the vines on the bank of the river and climbed up, and when he climbed up, the huge sense of the dense forest and towering trees in the depths came to his face, and Yide even felt more shocking than looking at it in the river.

But after sighing, Yi De glanced around and ruled out the possibility that the lake water could make the plants grow quickly, because there was grass growing under the tree, and these grasses were very dwarf, and they did not appear to be born at all.

Then he stood by the lake and watched, the area of the lake was very large, at least more than a thousand square meters, the surrounding protruding land was just enough for one person to watch, and the source of the lake should be the small river behind him. Maybe it's the other side too, but Yi De really can't believe that these two small rivers can gather such a large lake, this nature is really amazing.

He stopped and looked at it for a while, feeling the smell of the forest for a long time, and Yide always had an impulse: he wanted to lie under the tree and look at the lake in front of him, and soak up the sunshine in the sky.

So in order to stop the impulse from happening, he felt turned around, walked along the river, walked back.

I don't know if my father has found the Yulan grass, if not, I can only use this one first. But when he returned to the bridge, he didn't see his father, and he looked in the direction of his father's walk, which was the source of the river, the mountain forest, and the tiger vine would grow on the mountain forest.

Thinking of this, Yi De's mind also came up with the possibility of his father going up the mountain alone, so he ran as soon as he started, running towards the village.

Panic is definitely panicked, after all, before picking medicine, I said that I would find Yulan grass together, and then gather on the bridge, and then go up the mountain to find the tiger vine together, who knew that he ran up without saying a word. Coupled with the fact that this father was unarmed and broke into the demon beast alone, Yi De didn't dare to think about what to do if he bumped into the demon beast.

So he ran to the village first as soon as possible, because in his impression, Brother Tiezhu was a woodcutter and had a knife at home, so even if he was worried, he should first find a weapon that could defend himself. Besides, maybe my father has actually gone back to apply medicine to Brother Tiezhu?

Yi De kept comforting himself in his heart, but the kung fu on his legs did not weaken, and he ran back to the village before he reached ten breaths, and pushed open the door of Brother Tiezhu's house, but saw that there was no second figure in the house except for Tiezhu who was sick in bed.

So he rummaged through the room, and at last found a somewhat blunt woodcutter in the corner of the outer room, pinned it to his waist, and ran away without even closing the door.

The mountain looked not far away, but when he ran, he knew what visual deception was, and according to the time of this run, Yi De felt that he could go to the lake again, but this was still half the distance from the bottom of the mountain.

Yi De gritted his teeth, feeling that a woodcutter pinned to his waist had somewhat affected his speed, so he pulled it out, took it in his hand and ran, that posture, saying that he was going to hack a few people to death.
