Chapter 21: Into the Mountain
The next day, Silly Zhu still got up early to practice martial arts as usual, but today is the weekend and he doesn't want to make breakfast so he plans to buy breakfast. Who knew that at this time, the master also got up, "Don't make breakfast on the pillar, you will go into the mountain with me, yesterday I found some medicinal materials, I didn't continue to look for them because of the lack of time, I feel that there should be something good in that piece"
Silly Zhu woke up his sister, He Yushui heard that his brother was going into the mountain and immediately made a noise to go with him, He Yushui grew so big and had never been to the mountain, Silly Zhu was also worried about what to do if his sister ate at noon and came back late at night, so he went to ask the master, the old Taoist priest felt that it was not a big problem to take He Yushui and agreed, and immediately the three of them went out on bicycles, and now it was only 5 o'clock in the morning There was no one on the road
When the three of them arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain, it was already more than 6 o'clock, and the silly pillar and an old farmer said to leave the bicycle at his house to help take care of it, and when he came back to give him 1,000 yuan, the old farmer immediately happily said that the bicycle must be good for him, and he would pay for the missing parts
Soon the three of them walked halfway up the mountain, and the old Taoist priest said at this time:
"Walk through this hill and then go west, the mountain over there is where I went yesterday" After speaking, he didn't wait for the stupid pillar to react and took the lead to walk forward, and the stupid pillar let the rain unbearable and walked with the rain on his back, just at this time the rain was also tired. Don't worry about the rain tired, the speed of the three of them became faster, and soon an hour passed, and the three of them successfully crossed the first mountain, and saw several pheasants and hares on the way, the rain screamed happily and scared a few animals away, and the angry He Yuzhu opened his mouth to threaten He Yushui that if he yelled again, he would throw her down and let her go out of the mountain by herself
Sure enough, hearing his brother's threat, the rain became much quieter, but he still kept marveling at these things that he had never seen. Along the way, the old Taoist priest also found that he did not see some medicinal materials yesterday, such as wild angelica, astragalus, etc., the old Taoist also sighed that it is not easy to meet angelica, but the mountains near Sijiu City are also these kinds of medicinal materials, if you want to find saffron, cordyceps sinensis is impossible, ginseng is there, but it is rare, and the age is not too high, it is more than ten years
At 9 o'clock, the three of them came to the place where the old Taoist found the medicinal materials yesterday, the silly pillar and the old Taoist priest looked for it separately, and the rain came to play with the two of them, and the silly pillar told He Yushui not to run around, and if he lost himself, he would not be able to find her, and soon He Yuzhu found a prunella
"Compendium of Materia Medica" has a cloud: "Li Jushi's "Yi Jian Fang", Prunella vulgaris cures eye pain, soak it in sand sugar water overnight, take it to relieve internal heat, slow down liver fire. Lou Quan Shanyun, Prunella vulgaris cures eye pain until night, and the miraculous effect or the opposite of using bitter cold medicine is also miraculous. The cover of the eye beads is even the eye, and the liver system is also, which belongs to the meridian of syncope and yin. The night is even worse than a little bitter cold medicine, and the night and cold are also cloudy. Xia Ku is pure yang qi, replenishing the yin blood, so the cure is like a god, and the yang governs the yin. "That's what I'm talking about, it can clear away heat and extinguish fire, and clear the eyes
The old Taoist priest also found some heavy buildings and Huoshan dendrobium, He Yushui watched the two of them enter the mountain in order to find these grasses a little unhappy, she thought that her brother took her into the mountains to hunt. However, Silly Zhu didn't bother to look at his sister, because he found a few dogwoods not far from where he found Prunella, which is a good thing for men. Silly Zhu happily dug up a few dogwoods and put them away
Two hours passed quickly, and the master and apprentice also walked far away with He Yushui, seeing that it was almost noon, Silly Zhu thought about going to hunt a hare for lunch, and was about to find tools when he heard the cry of rain
"Brother, come here, I found a big mushroom, we can use him to cook soup and drink it at noon" Silly Zhu was also curious when he heard his sister's words, big mushroom? How big can the mushrooms be, and most of the mushrooms in the wild are poisonous, so I was afraid that something would happen to my sister, and I hurriedly walked over, and when my sister was squatting, I saw a big dead tree lying across the weeds
"Rain, don't mess with those mushrooms, poisonous" After speaking, he walked to his sister, she dared to come to this place as a child, and she was not afraid of snakes, and when she saw that her sister was still looking at the dead tree curiously, Silly Zhu was suddenly a little curious about what kind of mushroom could make Rain like it so much. Looking in the direction of He Yushui's finger, it doesn't matter what he looks at, He Yuzhu himself was surprised, where is this big mushroom, how can it look more and more like Ganoderma lucidum
"Master, come over and find a good thing" The old Taoist priest was also curious about what good things could make the apprentice so surprised, and when he rushed over, he was also surprised, what a big purple lingzhi
"On Heng: The First Gift" The Han King of the Middle East is full of clouds: "Zhicao is three flowers a year, and the food is eyebrow-raising and celebrated, and the food of the immortals is covered." In the book "Shennong's Materia Medica", Ganoderma lucidum is divided into six types: red, green, yellow, white, black, and purple, all of which are listed as the "top grade" in medicine; In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen gave a detailed explanation of the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum: "It is mainly used to treat deafness, benefit joints, protect the nerves, benefit essence and qi, strengthen muscles and bones, good color, wear light body for a long time, prolong life, cure fatigue, and cure hemorrhoids"
This one in front of me is the best purple Ganoderma lucidum, this thing is also the first time in his life that the old Taoist priest has seen, if it were not for the rain of the greedy master and apprentice will not come to this place, carefully take off the Ganoderma lucidum and wrap it carefully with a cloth
Yushui also said curiously: "Silly brother, are we going to take this big mushroom home to cook soup and drink?" Silly Zhu suddenly sweated when he heard his sister's words, I am afraid that this thing will not have to sleep for a few days and nights after boiling soup, but she did not explain to the rain, after all, she is still too young to understand what Ganoderma lucidum is. After talking to the master, he asked his sister to follow the old Taoist priest not to walk around, and Silly Zhu was going to find something to eat for lunch
After walking for about 20 minutes, the silly pillar found a river, and saw a few rabbits drinking water by the river, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, but the silly pillar had never hunted, if he couldn't catch the rabbit, he could only find a way to catch fish, and used a machete to cut a small tree to make a long stick about one meter long, and the silly pillar wanted to try if he could insert it into the rabbit, so he immediately put the machete aside and took the long stick and walked slowly towards the rabbit
The first time it was obvious that it failed, and the rabbit ran away. Silly Zhu sighed and walked to the side of the grass to hide to see if he could wait for another one, and soon saw a rabbit jumping towards the river, Silly Zhu was more careful after his first experience
The hard work paid off, and this time it was very smooth to let the stupid pillar insert a rabbit. After killing the rabbit by the river, he returned to the master with a machete and saw that the master had already made a fire and was waiting for him, He Yushui saw that his brother was trotting towards his brother with a rabbit, and circled around his brother twice. Soon the rabbits were put into sticks and roasted over the fire. I only brought some salt when I went out today, so the taste of the roasted rabbit meat was not very good, my sister ate a rabbit leg and didn't eat it, and the old Taoist priest didn't have much, and the rest was solved by the stupid pillar
After eating and resting for a while, the master and apprentice continued to look for medicinal herbs, and soon the sun slowly moved towards the west, and when it was almost 3 o'clock, the old Taoist priest asked the silly pillar to pack up his things and prepare to go back. In the afternoon, the old Taoist priest also found a ginseng, but it was not old enough, and it was only more than 20 years after listening to the master, but it was also a good thing. Today's harvest is good, especially the Ganoderma lucidum surprised the old Taoist priest the most, this is something that can be used to save lives
On the way back, the stupid pillar carried He Yushui on his back and followed the old Taoist priest as fast as possible in the direction where he came, and when he reached the first mountain, the stupid pillar suddenly exclaimed, and the old Taoist priest hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the apprentice pressing a snake head with the blade of the knife, "Pillar, stay alive", after speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the snake's head with his bare hands, wrapped the snake around a few times with his hands, and threw it in the black cloth bag
"This is a silver krait, highly venomous, it can be used to treat hemiplegia, gout, leprosy, stroke and other symptoms, and this thing can also be soaked in wine to make medicinal wine when you go back" Silly Zhu nodded after listening
When the master and apprentice arrived at the old farmer's house, it was almost 5 o'clock, and after handing the 1,000 yuan to the old farmer, he didn't say much nonsense, and rode to the city with the master and his sister
After returning home, I had dinner, the master and apprentice two people, the medicinal materials picked today were sorted out and prepared to be dried tomorrow, and when I saw the silver krait stupid pillar asked the master how to deal with this snake, the old Taoist priest thought about it and decided to soak in wine and leave it to the apprentice, it is impossible to keep this snake all the time, it is very troublesome to raise snakes in the city, if you accidentally run out and bite someone, you will have to eat a lawsuit
Immediately let Silly Zhu prepare a jar first, and clean up some dirty things on the snake's body, and when Silly Zhu came back, he carefully put the living snake in it and covered the lid. The old Taoist priest told the stupid pillar
"Wait for the snake to be hungry for about a month to soak in wine, this is also to just snake the feces discharge, then you prepare a large glass jar, buy a few catties of high degree liquor, put the snake in it, the poison of the silver snake is at least more than half a year, generally small poisonous snake 2 to 3 months on the line. There are 3 ways to make snake wine, I use the first one, and there are two that kill the snake, but the difference is that one is to kill the snake and wash it and soak it directly, this wine is the best for treating hemiplegia, and the other is to kill the snake and dry it to make wine, this method snake wine saves trouble but the effect is not good"
Silly Zhu heard that the master gave him the types and production methods of popular science snake wine, and felt that he understood a lot, so Silly Zhu tied the rope of the jar containing the snake and put it in the corner
Early the next morning, Silly Zhu got up early in the morning to practice martial arts and wash, and when he saw the sun coming out, he put the medicinal herbs he picked yesterday on the bamboo strips and put them on the shelf prepared by the master, and then prepared to make breakfast
The people in the courtyard were very curious when they saw the medicinal materials placed on the shelf, they were all old Taoist priests drying medicinal materials in the past, but everyone didn't dare to come forward to talk, one was that the old Taoist priest was old, and the other was not familiar with everyone, and today I saw the stupid pillar drying medicinal materials, and suddenly the curiosity in my heart couldn't be suppressed anymore. Several people stepped forward and asked
"Silly Zhu, can you give us a little bit of these medicines that your master asked you to dry?"
"A little for you? Why do you want these medicines, is there anyone in the family who is sick? Then you have to go to the hospital to see a doctor, this medicine can't be taken indiscriminately, something will happen" Silly Zhu heard this and knew that these people were starting to be greedy again, and he was a little funny in his heart, it was useless for you to take advantage of these medicines, what Silly Zhu said was not wrong, many of these medicines are indeed toxic, and many Chinese medicines cannot be eaten alone, and they need to be combined with other medicinal materials
"Huh! Isn't this thinking that I am afraid that there will be a headache and brain fever in the house?" said the person who asked for medicine before
"Brother Qian, it's not that I won't give it to you, you said that I will give you some medicine, if something goes wrong with you when you eat it, do you say that I should be responsible for you" Silly Zhu was also speechless after listening
"That's for sure, if you don't look for the medicine you give, you just go to the hospital to see a doctor, and if you have a problem with the medicine, you also go to the hospital," the man surnamed Qian replied with a face that should be
"Then forget it, if you want to prepare medicine, go to the hospital to buy some and prepare it, I can't afford this medicine" Silly Zhu finished speaking and turned around to make breakfast
"Hey, what are you talking about, everyone is a neighbor, where can you go if you give some medicine" The people around you echoed the neighbor surnamed Qian one by one, and at this time Jia Zhang also spoke
"Silly pillar, if you want to give it to you, so much nonsense, some medicine is only worth a few dollars." After that, I'm ready to get my hands on it
"Uncle Yi, aren't you going to take care of this kind of behavior?" Seeing this situation, Silly Zhu directly pulled Jia Zhang's side aside, and then looked at Yi Zhonghai
"Silly pillar, some medicinal herbs are not valuable, everyone can take a little if they want to." Yi Zhonghai also stood up after seeing Silly Zhu asking himself
"Uncle Yi, if you say this, then I will get off work tonight and I will take those things that are not very valuable, after all, this is what you said, a little thing is not valuable, and the rest of you are the same, take it as you like, wait for me in your house after work today" Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with an indifferent face
Yi Zhonghai's face turned ugly like a dead man when he heard Silly Zhu's words, "Hmph, I don't care, you can do whatever you like" After speaking, he turned his head and ran
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Silly Zhu turned his head to look at the others, "How about it, which of you want to take it" Seeing the people around him, he shook his head and said:
"I can start by saying okay, most of the medicines on this shelf are poisonous, and if you eat it, you won't die, but you will walk in bed for a few days or pull your stomach for a few days, take care of your own children, dare to come and steal food, I am not responsible" After speaking, he didn't wait for others to respond, turned around and walked into the kitchen
When everyone heard Silly Zhu's words, they hurriedly told their children not to take Silly Zhu's things, don't really eat and have an accident when the time comes. Jia Zhangshi was also startled when she heard Silly Zhu's words, she was still thinking about waiting for Silly Zhu's dog to go to work and secretly come over to get some medicine to go home to make up for herself and her unborn grandson, and when she heard Silly Zhu's words, she suddenly lost her attention
Silly Zhu also felt that today was really unlucky, fighting with this group of animals early in the morning, and was afraid that the children in the yard would really steal the medicine, and it would not be a big problem if the medicine was lost. He Yushui is also on summer vacation now, so let her watch, and immediately said to He Yushui, who was drinking porridge, that this would let her play in the yard today Don't go out, look at the medicine on the shelf, don't let the children in the yard take it, and see He Yushui nodded and got up to get ready to go to work
Today, as usual, the rolling mill is now not receiving it, and the stupid pillar is looking at the medical book in the back kitchen. After taking a break in the afternoon, I went to the greenhouse to water the vegetables, and the masters and aunts in the back kitchen and canteen chatted about the gossip of the rolling mill. Soon it was time to get off work
Silly Zhu went to the greenhouse to pick some cucumbers and beans before getting off work, and he didn't plan to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, just eat light at night.
