Chapter 168: Exploring Nature
On the flat official road, two ox carts moved slowly.
One with people, one with goods.
Gao Xianqing and Grandma Gao sat side by side, and the daughter-in-law and several children were crowded together, all of them were honest, after all, no one was afraid of grandpa.
The cart in the back was pulling luggage, and the general boxes contained Gao Xianqing's books.
Looking at the city gate from afar, the three big characters of "Feng'an County" appeared in front of him.
found an inn to settle down temporarily, and Gao Yi went to rent a house non-stop.
Gao Xianqing loves books like his life, so he opened the box as soon as possible to check if there were any damaged books.
After confirming that there was none, he sighed and sat down in his chair, his old face full of fatigue.
For more than two months, he traveled from place to place, refusing to give up the slightest hope, but all he could get was rejection.
Finally, someone appreciated him, and he was able to become a petty official from the ninth grade, thinking that it was the beginning of his career, but he didn't expect it to be the end.
Officialdom is dark, it is common for him to be high and low, he has a "stigma", has no backstage, and even offends people, and he will not flatter, he will only point out the mistakes of the peak with a straight face all day long, and it is certain that he will be excluded.
So in January, Gao Xianqing resigned, realizing that he might not be suitable for this path.
There's nothing bad about it, Gao Xianqing thought bitterly, some people can't quit if they want to.
"Third brother, we are going to play in the mountains, do you want to go?"
Lingbao flew in like a little butterfly, tilting his head to look at Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin was holding a toy in his hand, Lingbao looked down and was stunned.
It was still a bunch of broken parts just now, but Cheng Jinmian did not change its color, and it was restored quickly.
Ling Bao exclaimed: "Third brother, do you know immortal arts?" ”
Cheng Jin said: "This is not immortal art, it is a simple restoration. ”
"Wow, the third brother is so powerful!" The worship in Lingbao's eyes was about to come out.
Cheng Jin was a little embarrassed and said, "Aren't you going to play in the mountains?" Let's go. ”
"Let's go, let's go."
"Big brother, let's go." Ling Bao shouted at Cheng Yun, who was overseeing the work.
Cheng Yun responded, asking them not to be greedy for fun, and to come back early, and specially told Cheng Yi to be optimistic about a few small ones.
Cheng Yi's ears were calloused, and he said forgivingly: "I know, big brother, don't read it, let's go, let's go." ”
Lingbao is not only here to play, she is carrying a copy of "Materia Medica" in her arms, which is here to learn.
"This seems to be ......" Ling Bao bit his finger and thought hard, "Atractylodes!" ”
"Hide? What's that? Why do you suddenly have an accent? Cheng Yi pinched her mouth in confusion.
Ling Bao slapped the second brother's hand away, and said unhappily: "It's not an accent, it's its name, it's called Cangshu!" ”
She picked up a branch and wrote these two words on the ground.
Cheng Yi poked her forehead: "Little fool, this word is pronounced 'technique', the technique of magic." ”
Ling Bao said disgustedly, "The second brother is a stupid person, this is pronounced "zhu" when he is a medicinal herb, and he reads the same method as bamboo. ”
Cheng Yi was skeptical: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true!"
Cheng Yi refuses to admit it, doesn't admitting it mean that he is stupid?
He had a flash of inspiration and asked Cheng Jin and Xie Wuxian: "Do you know?" ”
The two replied in unison, "Yes." ”
I don't really know.
But it's enough for a fool to be alone, and this is not a lot of fun.
Cheng Yi was incredulous, and put his last hope on Huaifu: "Huaifu, you know? ”
"I don't know." Waifo said honestly.
Cheng Yi was moved: "Good brother." ”
Huaifu: "......"
Ling Bao ignored the stupid brother and carefully identified: "This should be Northern Cangshu." ”
Xie Wuxian asked curiously: "North? Is there still a south? ”
"yes, you're so smart!"
Xie Wuxian smiled and narrowed his eyes, and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"Atractylodes atractylodes are usually sessile, the leaves are broad, ovate or narrowly ovate, and the total bracts have five or six layers." Lingbao seriously popularized science, "There are six, seven or eight layers of total bracts of Atractylodes atractylodes. ”
Xie Wuxian and Cheng Jin took a closer look, and what Lingbao said was really there.
"Shall we pick it then?"
Lingbao thought about it and nodded firmly, since it was fate, of course he had to take it away.
Finish digging up this piece of atractylodes and continue to move forward.
After walking some distance, Ling Bao stared ahead.
Everyone followed her gaze, and they didn't know what kind of tree was entwined with thin vines on its branches, and there were many branches, and the stems were very long and long, estimated to be more than a zhang, and something similar to a fruit fell on it.
"I'm going to eat loofah egg soup." Ling Bao said suddenly.
The brothers looked at each other, wondering how she had come up with this.
"You can eat it if you want." Cheng Yi said, "Second brother will do it for you." ”
Ling Bao glanced at him and said with disgust: "Second brother stupid, the loofah is an autumn dish, and there is no one now." ”
Cheng Yi: "......"
It can be seen that a quick mouth does not lead to good results.
Cheng Jin and Xie Wuxuan glanced at Cheng Yi sympathetically, Cheng Yi hugged his good brother Huaifu sadly and angrily, wanting to cry without tears.
"Is this a medicinal herb?" Cheng Jin asked.
Ling Bao shook his head uncertainly: "I don't know." I've only learned a little bit. ”
"Shall we pick it then?"
Ling Bao thought about it and shook his head: "It's better not to, let's come back when I'm sure." ”
"Okay." Cheng Jin asked, "Then which way do we go next?" ”
Ling Bao said with great interest: "You come and choose, third brother, we listen to you." ”
Cheng Jin thought for a moment and pointed in a direction.
Lingbao's hand holding the shovel was held high: "Let's go!" ”
"Meow meow!" The king suddenly called at a place.
Listening to Lingbao's ears, it was: "Lingbao come quickly, there are good things here!" ”
"Lingbao is coming, coming!" Ling Bao stepped over a large bush and saw the king squatting on the rotten trunk of a tree, next to which a large black mass grew.
Ling Bao's face changed: "Come down, big king, this thing is poisonous!" ”
She rushed over and picked up the king, but the king had gained a lot of weight, and she tried so hard that her face turned red, and she couldn't help but say, "The king, you are so heavy." ”
The king fried his hair: "This is not called heavy, this is called strong!" ”
"Oh."
"King, that's not a good thing, that thing is poisonous." Lingbao asked worriedly, "You didn't eat it, did you?" ”
The king said: "Don't be afraid, this is called fungus, fresh poison, dried is not poisonous, it is an edible medicinal material." ”
Lingbao is still a little afraid, they will never pick this to eat.
She reached out and touched it, soft and bouncing, and her brothers shoveled the fungus into the basket with a shovel, and Lingbao found a big leaf to cover it.
Lingbao still wants to continue exploring nature, but Cheng Yi says that it is not too early and he has to go home because he does not want to be beaten.
"Okay."
Back at home, Lingbao put the collected medicinal herbs in the original yard, found a piece of cloth to spread on the ground, and put the fungus on it.
Will it be free of poison if you bask in the sun?
