Chapter 13 A Hundred Years of He Shou Wu
Put away the meteorite, carry the basket on your back, and dig around with a small shovel in your hand to dig around for some herbs. Gu Chenggang usually goes up the mountain to dig up some herbs and sell them to the pharmacy to subsidize the family, and she also knows a lot about herbs.
It's just that the medicinal value of these herbs that can be picked at present is not high, and they can't be sold at a good price.
There are many wild chrysanthemums, four seasons greens, houttuynia cordata, and snake tongue grass on this mountain. They are both heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, and they are also widely used in modern times.
As long as it involves herbal medicine and medical knowledge, Gu Yunjie will forget everything, and unconsciously walked a long way, and when she found out, she could no longer tell which mountain her location was.
Looking up, there were mountains all around, and they were all mountains of about the same height, and she couldn't remember which mountain she had just come from.
Look at the basket on the back, it is already full of weeds. She was lucky today, and dug up two shallow-year-old ginseng, looking at the roots, about thirty years old.
That's right, she is not only good at Western medicine, but also good at Chinese medicine.
The outside world knows that she is a genius doctor, but they don't know that she is a closed disciple of the first Chinese medicine doctor in China.
There was a rumbling in my stomach.
This body usually eats a lot and digests quickly, and it has been working just now, and its attention is not on it, so it will be idle, and there is a protest in the stomach.
Fortunately, when she went out, her grandmother knew that she was hungry quickly, so she brought her a few sweet potatoes to make her hungry and pad her stomach.
Sit under a big tree, take out the sweet potatoes that have already cooled, peel them and start eating.
It's not the kind of sweet potato with a red heart and a sugar heart. The meat inside is white, and when you bite into it, it's all powder.
You have to take a bite with a mouthful of water, or you'll choke.
The good thing is that the hunger is suddenly gone, and the feeling of fullness is very strong.
I opened the kettle, took a few sips of water, thought about which path to go back later, and prayed in my heart that I didn't go too far, and if I ran into a beast or two, it would not be fun.
Carrying the basket on his back, he chose a path that looked like someone had walked and followed.
I tripped over something on my foot.
When I looked down, it was an old vine.
Gu Yunjie looked at this old vine, and a fragment flashed in her mind. It was a passage recorded in the grandfather's book, saying that there must be a Shou Wu near the old tree vine.
The geographical conditions here are superior, and there will be no Shou Wu under the old tree vines.
As soon as he said it, he took a small shovel and began to dig, and only then did he dig up a little soil, and he saw a rhizome.
Gu Yunjie looked at the small section that was exposed, and her heart was happy.
If it is really Polygonum multiflori, it seems that this wild Polygonum multiflorum should be more than 100 years old.
He Shou Wu, which is more than 100 years old, can be said to be a blood tonic holy product.
I don't know how long it took Gu Yunjie to dig out the complete He Shou Wu, which is as thick as a basin, as tall as a little doll, and has many roots and whiskers.
Gu Yunjie vacated the basket, put He Shou Wu in it, and then covered it with the herbs he had picked.
Looking up at the sky, the sky was still clear just now, and it was going to be cloudy, and it looked like there was going to be a rain before dark.
……
Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, and there is a strong wind, Xiao Jie has not come back yet, Gu Cheng is in a hurry: "Mother, why hasn't Xiao Jie come back yet, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, and the sky is going to be dark." ”
Gu Lan's eyes were also worried: "I won't remember the way home and go to the deep mountains and old forests." ”
Xiao Jie used to follow Gu Chenggang up the mountain, with Xiao Jie here, Gu Chenggang usually didn't go to the mountains, just went around the nearby mountains.
Gu Chenggang thought of Xiao Jie getting lost in the deep mountains, where to wait at home: "Mother, I'll go out to look for it, it's going to rain soon." ”
"You bring your robe." Gu Lanshi went to get it.
Gu Cheng was just about to go out, when the raindrops like beans fell, and not far away, a figure strode forward with a basket on his back, and began to shout from a distance: "Dad, milk." ”
"It's Xiaojie who is back." Gu Lan's heart was overjoyed and he took it out.
As soon as Gu Yunjie arrived home, she carefully put the basket on the ground, and her head was wet and sticky to her face because of some rain.
"Why did you go so long?" Gu Lanshi came out with a towel: "Hurry up and wipe it, there is still hot water at home, you hurry up and take a bath."
Gu Yunjie smiled: "Milk, I'll go change my clothes first, and I'll tell you something good." ”
It's wet, it's sticky, and she has to change her clothes first.
Gu Chenggang was already picking up Xiaojie's basket.
Seeing Xiao Jie come back with a basket full of herbs, his heart was excited.
It seems that it is still useful for him to teach Xiao Jie to recognize medicinal herbs, Xiao Jie did not pick the wrong plant, and there are several varieties that he usually finds difficult.
Take out the top layer, revealing the old roots of a small doll.
Gu Chenggang looked at this old tree root, was stunned for a moment, then pinched it with his hand, and sniffed it with his nose.
Then he slapped his thigh: "Good thing." ”
Gu Lanshi saw him chattering, and also leaned over: "What is this?" Isn't it just an old tree vine root. ”
"Mother, this is a hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and its medicinal value is also incredible."
"What?" Gu Lanshi didn't understand pharmacology, and he only felt that the word "100 years" was unbelievable.
In her consciousness, as long as the word hundred years is stained, it is the same existence as an immortal medicine.
Like 100-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
Such a thing, if you get one in your hand, it is no different from the elixir.
Xiao Jie had already changed her clothes and came out, and seeing that her father had already taken out the herbs, He Shou Wu naturally showed it.
"Xiaojie, your father said this thing has been around for a hundred years, but is it true?"
"Dad, it's been a hundred years, I look like He Shou Wu, so I'll dig it up and show you."
Gu Chenggang had already confirmed, and there was uncontrollable excitement on his face: "Yes, it must be more than a hundred years, Xiaojie, have you entered the mountains today?" ”
He often went to the first few small hills, but found no trace of He Shou Wu.
"I guess so, I was thinking of digging more herbs, but when I dug too seriously, I looked up and found that I was lost, and I don't know where I went. Looks like I'm lucky, if I hadn't gotten lost, I wouldn't have found it. ”
"You girl has a really big heart." When Gu Lanshi heard that there was an immortal medicine on the ground, he returned to the room with a smile and took out a big red cloth from it and tied the red cloth to the top of He Shou Wu.
"This is an immortal medicine, and getting the immortal medicine is a great joy, and it should be covered with a red cloth." Gu Lanshi didn't know what the use of He Shou Wu was, she only knew that this thing had grown for a hundred years, and it was like a mountain god.
When the mountain god enters the house, he should naturally be happy.
"That's good stuff." Gu Chenggang touched and touched He Shouwu, and couldn't put it down.
"Dad, do you have any alcohol at home? We use its roots to soak wine with you and milk to drink. ”
"Yes, there's a cure for your milk's head disease." Gu Chenggang was as happy as a child.
When Gu Lanshi heard that this immortal medicine was going to be used for himself, he hurriedly waved his hand: "What am I doing with such a good immortal medicine with an old bone." ”
