No.57 Medicinal herbs and hot springs
Taking advantage of the moment of eating muntjac meat, Wang Mingyuan brought up the matter of wanting the rest of the militia to participate in catching locusts.
With Zhang Shouzhong's brother three testifying, the matter of making money aroused the interest of several people at once, and even Chen Jiawang agreed very much, and blamed Wang Mingyuan for not saying it earlier.
Chen Jiawang understood why Wang Mingyuan said a word and Zhang Shouyi agreed so happily, and his feelings were a lot of benefits from Wang Mingyuan.
Of course, Wang Mingyuan did not forget to explain his worries to a few people.
After hearing it one by one, they all slapped their chests loudly and made a promise that they would never leak Wang Mingyuan's purchase of grasshoppers here as medicinal materials.
It's still the same sentence, if you have money, you don't make a bastard!
Who's going to have a lot of money, isn't it?
There are all kinds of bills, and you also need to catch money to buy things. The south is undergoing earth-shaking changes every day, and I can always learn some from the newspapers and some rumors, one by one, I actually have some spectrum in my heart, but I can't let go.
And now, Wang Mingyuan is providing them with opportunities.
It's still possible to sneak around.
As for Wang Mingyuan's desire to go to the nameless sinkhole, Chen Jiawang even agreed, not to mention anything else, for the sake of this muntjac meat, he also had to give some face.
Chen Jiawang actually noticed that Wang Mingyuan gave Zhang Shouyi money, and it was very clear that Wang Mingyuan was entertaining this meat.
Wang Mingyuan's approach is much more real than his empty white teeth.
He even asked Chen Youdong to follow Zhang Shouzhong and Wang Mingyuan to help.
This border line is located in the deep mountains and old forests, although the monkeys on the opposite side are fierce, but there are really few people who have the courage and ability to pass through this forest, and there are usually no problems.
He wanted to catch a few monkeys like Wang Mingyuan, and let himself make some contributions, but he was afraid that he wouldn't have this opportunity.
After a meal of meat, they ate heartily one by one, and more than 30 catties of muntjac meat, except for one hind leg that Zhang Shouyi specially left for Wang Mingyuan and wanted to preserve with smoke, the rest were all cooked.
The next morning, a group of people had breakfast early, and Wang Mingyuan, Zhang Shouzhong and Chen Youdong went on the road early.
Considering that he was going to travel last night, for fear that he would not have enough time to prepare food, Wang Mingyuan specially found Zhang Shouli and another militiaman who caught pheasants, bought their rabbits and pheasants, and pickled them with salt, 99 fragrant pepper dipped in water and sesame oil, and were wrapped in oiled paper today.
Seeing these two things, Chen Youdong, who was originally a little reluctant to go with Wang Mingyuan, suddenly became extremely positive.
The two of them carried machetes to open the way in front, and Wang Mingyuan followed cautiously, heading towards the location of the sinkhole.
Along the way, Wang Mingyuan asked questions from east to west, and Zhang Shouzhong also explained all kinds of things, but Wang Mingyuan learned a lot of things and saw a lot of useful things, especially some very old herbs, such as yellow essence, notoginseng and other valuable medicinal materials.
In Wang Mingyuan's memory, things like yellow essence are fine, and they can occasionally be seen in the mountains and forests, but things like Sanqi seem to be wild at all in the era in which he lives. All of them on the market are artificially grown.
However, once it comes to artificial planting, especially the growth environment of Panax notoginseng, which needs three points of yin and seven points of yang, and the delicate medicinal materials that can survive in a specific environment, are indispensable for awnings and a large number of pesticides, and the quality is difficult to say.
Therefore, in the era of paying more and more attention to quality, there will be increasingly strict pesticide testing standards in the pharmacopoeia, and there will be pollution-free cultivation and organic cultivation in order to continuously improve quality.
Sanqi, this is a rare medicinal material that is known to cure all blood diseases, and in this primeval forest, it seems that there are still a lot of old ones.
Of course, yellow essence is also an excellent thing.
Before they reached the sinkhole, Wang Mingyuan and the others harvested more than 10 yellow essence and notoginseng, all of which were good things for at least six years.
Without exception, the things were handed over to Wang Mingyuan by Zhang Shouzhong, but there are relatives who specialize in the purchase of medicinal materials, although the acquisition station of Adu Commune is also buying, but if it doesn't matter, the price is not high.
Near noon, the three of them finally arrived at the edge of the sinkhole, and Zhang Shouzhong led them to find the slightly steep cliff when they chased the muntjac into the sinkhole, and the three of them carefully dragged the thick rattan hanging down the cliff wall to the sinkhole.
Wang Mingyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that the vegetation in this sinkhole grew even more luxuriant than the outside, not to mention that it was only four or five hundred acres of area, and there were quite a lot of types, and there were many small animals and poisonous insects.
Here, Wang Mingyuan met the ants, one of the three horses that Zhang Shouzhong had reminded him, the kind of red little ant army that migrated around in a line.
In addition, more than 20 centimeters long dark red centipedes can also be seen in rotting leaves and stone crevices at any time, and there are some black rainforest scorpions.
It's all dangerous stuff.
Of course, in Zhang Shouzhong's eyes, those rock bees with huge nests on the cliffs are very dangerous insects, and once provoked, they are simply deadly.
Rock bees are layered on top of each other on a single nest the size of a dustpan, which is a nightmare for people with dense phobia, and at this time, the sun is in the sky, and nearly 200 swarms of rock bees around the cliff wall continue to rise and fall, forming a slight buzzing sound, echoing in the sinkhole. This also attracts many birds to constantly fly and intersperse for predation, which looks very spectacular.
In Wang Mingyuan's view, it is actually the wealth sent to the door.
However, after all, they are just some insects, as long as they are carefully protected, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the steep rock walls around this sinkhole are destined to make it almost impossible for those fierce large beasts to descend into such a place.
In Wang Mingyuan's view, this sinkhole is actually safer than the primeval forest outside.
Wang Mingyuan, who doesn't have the strong sense of crisis outside, now just wants to hurry to the hot spring as soon as possible, and he can also experience the hot spring, which he only sees on TV, and it sounds like a high-end atmosphere.
At his urging, Zhang Shouzhong quickened his pace, walked through the dense forest, and soon came to a stony slope with five or six water holes on it, and hot water was bubbling with a rising mist.
The hot water flows down the rocky slope, forming puddles in the shape of fish scales, one after another, reflecting the sunlight, which is very beautiful. Further down, five ponds are formed, and these ponds, the large ones have a radius of five or six zhang, and the small ones are no more than a few zhang.
Wang Mingyuan looked at it and felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, this Nima is simply a natural hot spring bath, and it has been formed without even artificial repair.
In the largest pond, Wang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and tried it, the water temperature was about thirty or forty degrees, at the moment, he didn't want to think about it, he jumped in directly after picking up his clothes, swam twice in it, and then returned to the waterhole and sat down, his face was full of comfort.
This move startled Zhang Shouzhong and Chen Youdong, in their opinion, this spring water is steaming, which is completely different from the ordinary leyline water, it is strange everywhere, and the faint pungent smell emitted in it ......
"Hurry up, this water is not right!" Zhang Shouzhong shouted: "Don't make any problems with yourself. ”
Obviously, they didn't know much about hot springs and were scared.
Wang Mingyuan laughed: "Third uncle, it's okay, this water, it's called a hot spring, it contains a lot of trace elements, but it's a rare good thing, often soaked, it's good for the body, and it can even cure diseases, such as rheumatism, you should also hurry down and soak for a while." ”
"What, this water can still cure diseases......
Zhang Shouzhong squatted down on the edge of the pond with some doubts, stretched out his hand and touched it, feeling that it was not much different from the bath water boiled at home.
"Come down, believe me, this kind of hot spring is available in many places in our country, if you want to soak in it once, you have to spend money, hurry up and seize the opportunity!" Wang Mingyuan urged.
Seeing that Zhang Shouzhong was still a little hesitant, he suddenly dragged Zhang Shouzhong down.
Zhang Shouzhong, who was panicked, was startled, and kept fluttering in the water, obviously it was only less than three feet deep, and he couldn't stand firmly.
Wang Mingyuan could see that Zhang Shouzhong was a landlubber at all, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held him up.
Zhang Shouzhong, who finally calmed down and poured a lot of hot spring water, glared at Wang Mingyuan, who was laughing, fiercely: "Nonsense! ”
He was really scared by this. People who can't swim have always been very afraid of water.
It's okay now, it's all soaking wet.
He climbed onto the shore, took off his clothes, wrung them, and laid them on the grass to dry, and then turned back again, carefully grounded, and sat on the edge of the waterhole like Wang Mingyuan.
Savor it, it's really comfortable, very enjoyable, so comfortable that you want to be drowsy!
Chen Youdong saw it, and of course immediately followed.
