The old man woke up and quickly sat up.

"Let's go, go home and change your clothes, otherwise it will be troublesome if you catch a cold" Liu Fulin saw that Tao Yisheng's whole body was soaked, and opened his mouth to ask him to go to his house to change his wet clothes.

Tao Yisheng smiled and waved his hand, just holding his knees with his hands and continuing to rest: "No, it'll be fine after a while, I'll rest first."

Guo Xiangping asked curiously at this time: "How did you fall into the river?" ”

Tao Yisheng smiled and replied: "I went into the mountain to collect medicine, found a rock ginseng on the cliff, just climbed halfway and heard someone singing, I was a little fascinated by it, I didn't notice that the rock block next to me was a little loose, and when I found it, it was too late, so I fell into the river, to be honest, when I fell, I thought that this time I was more than lucky, and the water flow was so fast, even if the singing saw me fall, it was impossible to save my ......."

Belch!

Gu Siwei was a little embarrassed.

The people around looked at Gu Siwei at this time, Tao Yisheng said this, who doesn't know that this song is sung by Gu Siwei? Isn't that not enough brains?

"What song sang people off the cliff?" Guo Xiangping said with a laugh.

If there is nothing to do with people, this matter can naturally be talked about.

Gu Siwei continued to be embarrassed, and was thinking about saying something, Tao Yisheng opened his mouth and said: "It's not the young man's business, but I have a problem myself, if I would never have been like this before, now that I am older, my spirit is a little insufficient, and I have been going smoothly in the mountain for so many years, and I have a trace of slackness in my heart, so what happened happened, it can be regarded as a warning to myself."

Gu Siwei listened and said: "I really didn't expect that there would be people in that place, I thought that no one would go to the old forest so far away."

"It's none of your business, the older the forest, the better the medicinal herbs, the fewer people who go, the more dangerous the place is to produce the treasures of heaven and earth, the general place to come out, before waiting for someone to come up, it was picked by someone, where to wait for the best medicinal effect" Tao Yisheng smiled and said.

Liu Fulin asked at this time: "You said you saw a rock ginseng?" ”

Gu Siwei really hasn't heard of this thing Gu Siwei, and now when he heard Liu Fulin ask, he was naturally interested, what kind of thing with a ginseng word, it must be a bit of a beginning, not to mention that Tao Yisheng is so old, he actually deliberately climbed the cliff to find something, it would be strange if it was ordinary.

"Well, rock ginseng, it's growing well, I'll put it in my basket...... Hey, what about my basket, it may have been lost in the river, forget it, it's not a pity to lose it if I want to keep other things outside my body" Tao Yisheng looked left and right and didn't find his basket, and thought that the basket fell into the river.

Gu Siwei directly took out the basket behind Yang Chuanwu and Guo Xiangping and put it in front of Tao Yisheng.

Tao Yisheng saw the basket, the expression on his face instantly seemed to come to life, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly reached out and held the basket in the cup, and then looked left and right as if he could see the flowers.

"I said, old Taoist, what treasure is in your basket?" Guo Xiangping was quite curious, squatted down and looked at the basket.

Tao Yisheng said: "It's herbal medicine, I thought I was busy with this trip to Shanbai, but I didn't expect the medicine to be there."

After struggling, he arched his hand to Gu Siwei, and he shook it to the end, and his whole body was about to bend one hundred and eighty degrees.

Gu Siwei immediately helped the old man up, and at the same time got out of the way in front of the old man, and Liu Fulin, who was standing next to Gu Siwei, also moved his position and did not accept the old man's salute.

"No, no, what's polite," Gu Siwei said repeatedly.

"The lad is so strong".

Tao Yisheng didn't say anything here, and he boasted about Gu Siwei's strength together.

"Hehe, it's just brute force, it's not worth mentioning."

Gu Siwei was polite, but he was also surprised by the old man's strength, really, it was hard to imagine that an old man of such an age would have the strength of a strong guy.

Tao Yisheng opened his back basket, dug it in, and took out a cloth bag, which was already soaked.

It must have been soaking wet, and it was strange that they all fell into the river and were not soaked.

Gu Siwei stretched out his head curiously and watched Tao Yisheng untie the cloth bag, there were almost four layers of wrapping layer by layer, and after waiting for it to be opened, Gu Siwei was suddenly deeply disappointed.

Because the innermost part of the cloth bag was wrapped in a black thing, which looked very disgusting, a bit like something, like a lump of black poop, almost a palm long, as thick as two fingers, and the black skin was not smooth at all, and there were some brown tendon-like things on it.

Look, do you look like a piece of when you look like this? If you don't say it's like it, you must have never seen.

"What kind of rock ginseng is this?"

Gu Siwei felt that this thing was not advanced at all, and it was more appropriate to call it a.

The expression on Liu Fulin's face at the moment was very solemn, and he nodded and said: "It's really a rock ginseng, I haven't seen this thing for many years, and it can grow so big, if you put aside the previous provincial capital, you have to change to a big shop."

"One? This thing used to cost thousands of taels of silver at half the size, but at that time, a courtyard in the capital city was only a few hundred taels, and this thing was enough for an ordinary family to live a good life," Guo Xiangping said.

Gu Siwei was a little stunned when he heard it, he didn't know that this thing was valuable, you and Lao Gu said that ginseng was valuable, he could understand, really, how old ginseng is a plant, even after a few decades, the price is sky-high, and there are always millions.

But when you tell him that the in front of him is worth so much money, he doesn't believe it, because he hasn't heard anything called rock ginseng, can this thing compare to ginseng?

Tao Yisheng saw Gu Siwei's face at this time, how old the old man was, he knew at a glance what Gu Siwei was thinking.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't explain anything to others, but Gu Siwei was different, no matter how he said it, he was the one who saved his life, so Tao Yisheng opened his mouth to explain to Gu Siwei.

"This thing can cure a lot of diseases, especially for miasma, this thing originally grew in the deep mountains and old forests, the place where the miasma is heavy, the old saying is that there must be a solution within three zhang of the place where the miasma is heavy, this is the truth.

And you only need to eat it once, which is the size of your fingers, to ensure that you will not be infested by miasma in the next three or two months," Tao Yisheng said.

"Oh, that's nothing."

What does Gu Siwei think about this? Isn't it just a medicine for diarrhea, maybe these people lived a little too early, and they haven't heard of artemisinin, and we still rely on it to win awards.

"It's not just this," Guo Xiangping said: "This thing also has the effect of prolonging life, and I heard that it can build muscles and bones."

"Oh!"

Gu Siwei nodded and listened with a smile.

But I really don't think about it in my heart, what kind of muscles and bones, I might believe it when I put aside the four-dimensional fan martial arts, but now, even if it is a space regain, he doesn't believe that the black lump in front of him can have this magical effect.

Sometimes the drug seller will always exaggerate the efficacy of the drug, which is no different from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and Gu Siwei has always held a conservative attitude.

Tao Yisheng laughed here: "Muscle and bone are just rumors, in fact, the most important thing is that this thing is an excellent spice, if it is used to stew meat, it tastes unique, especially stewed pig, beef and mutton, which can fresh off the tongue."

As soon as he heard the flavor of the stew, Gu Siwei immediately came to his senses, blurted out and asked, "Really?" ”

"Seriously!" Tao Yisheng nodded and smiled: "But it's not just a matter of letting it go directly, although this thing is a curative thing, but if you don't get sick and eat it, it's poisonous, and it's quite toxic, although it doesn't necessarily mean death, but there is no problem at all for you to lie down for ten days and a half months."

Gu Siwei wanted to ask how to do it, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up, because what he heard the most when he got here was the secret recipe that was not passed on.

Tao Yisheng saw that Gu Siwei had little interest, and continued to check the other things in his basket.

There is a lot of grass in the basket, most of which Gu Siwei has never seen, and even if he does, he doesn't know what his name is.

Tao Yisheng took out all the grass and spread it out directly on the wood of the dock beside him, and dried it like this.

"Let's go, go into the house, what are you doing here" Guo Xiangping saw Tao Yisheng spread out all the herbs, so he opened his mouth and said.

Tao Yisheng didn't shirk at this time, stood up and followed everyone to the valley.

Gu Siwei was interested in following them into the valley again, so he said: "Then you go, I'll go back, I still have to catch some wild boars or something, and wait for our family to plant rice tomorrow."

"Planting rice tomorrow?"

Liu Fulin stopped, stopped and turned his head to ask Gu Siwei: "Fast enough, it's only been a few days, your family has planted rice, and the seedlings are ready?" ”

"It's all done, if you have something, you don't have to go, I'm just joking over there" Gu Siwei thought that Liu Fulin would have something to do tomorrow, so he said.

Liu Fulin waved his hand: "What can happen then, our family is almost fine, even if it's weeding or something, I don't care about this day or two, I'll be there tomorrow."

"Look at what you can, if there is no four-dimensional to pick you up, can you go upstream? Don't stop planting rice at that time, people will plant it first, and you have to be served by others," Guo Xiangping said with a laugh.

"It's a trivial matter," Liu Fulin couldn't help but be happy when he heard it.

"That's it, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin said: "It should be early, it is dawn when we get there, and everyone will work hard while it is cool."

Gu Siwei nodded, and then jumped on the raft.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Tao Yisheng say, "You want to find a wild boar?" I know that there is a place where there are more wild boars, just southwest of where I collected medicine, there is a deep forest there, there are a lot of wild boars in it, and there are many yellow goats, you go a little further, you will see two erected milk mounds, between the mountains to pass, as long as you find the mountain is easy."

The wild boar Gu Siwei didn't care, but the wild goat, Gu Siwei was extremely interested, and he thanked him happily when he heard the words.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gu Siwei slid towards the middle of the river with the raft, and when he reached the center, the squares and grass flowers responded, and the raft sailed all the way upstream.

The others were not surprised, but Tao Yisheng was surprised: "How can you make the raft run so fast in the water?!" ”

"There are two big fish under the raft, one is almost four or five hundred catties, what is it to push a raft" Yang Chuanwu said: "This Gu Siwei is a strange person."

"Strange people?" Tao Yisheng paused.

"That's right, like you, you're a strange person, and you're very capable, if you didn't have him last winter, our village would be sad!" Guo Xiangping smiled at Tao Yisheng twice and said.

Tao Yisheng listened to it and made a bitter face: "What kind of strange person am I, if the strange person can be driven out of the view, will he not be able to return home, alas!" ”

"By the way, how did you dig up the herbs?" Liu Fulin asked.

Tao Yisheng said: "I have no choice, I want to get some good things, so as to keep the things in my view, otherwise those things will be smashed."

Everyone walked to the valley together, and when they heard Tao Yisheng finish speaking, everyone was embarrassed, because in the past, this view could be quite famous in the vicinity, and some people in the provincial capital would rush over to knock on a knock and ask for a future.

Now, who would have thought that a Taoist temple that had flourished for almost two or three hundred years would just disappear.

But everyone also understands that this is a matter of twisting the arm over the thigh, there are many things you don't want to do, how can ordinary people carry the wheel of history.
