Chapter 290: Save the Poor Grass
Seeing that it was a pangolin, Xu Boan was even more strange.
No, the pangolin beast wasn't placed on the other side of the valley, and it was still on the tea partition of the glass teacup.
In this case, the middle of the tea compartment where the pangolin is located, is protruding, and there is water on all sides, how did the pangolin as a landlubber escape.
And, what did it come here for?
Could it be that a treasure hunt is coming.
But there is no gold or diamonds in this place!
Xu Bo'an looked at it suspiciously, and saw the little pangolin lying on a large plain yellow-brown tree root, stretching out its four paws and hugging it tightly, opening its long and sharp mouth to bite on it one by one, squeezing out a trace of juice, and then stretching out its tongue to lick it, as if sucking the juice in it.
Otherwise, with the pangolin's diamond-piercing teeth, this root-like thing can be crushed and swallowed by it in two or three bites.
The root of this tree ...... Well? Roots!
Xu Bo'an subconsciously looked carefully, where is this tree root, this is obviously a big piece of "yellow essence"!
Huangjing is a traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Bo'an has seen it in the ancestral medical books of the old Zhang family, which is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine that has the effects of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys.
It can well treat yin deficiency and fatigue, lung dryness and cough, spleen and stomach qi deficiency, kidney deficiency and essence deficiency, waist and knee soreness, dizziness and other diseases!
And this Huang Jing, Xu Bo'an, who comprehended the content of the Zhang family's ancestral medical book, could see at a glance that it was actually four or five hundred years old!
The value of such medicinal materials is very high, compared to the He Shou Wu that Xu Bo'an got from the monkeys before, I am afraid that it will not be too much!
This...... The prestige of the treasure hunt of the pangolin beast, is it possible that it is genuine?
Was you superficial before?
People don't just look for hard things like gold and diamonds?
It's not right, didn't Chen Shishi say that the origin of the name of the Pangolin Treasure Hunting Beast is because it likes to collect all kinds of golden and shiny things.
Moreover, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jade and all kinds of gems hidden in its caves, so it is called a treasure hunter.
This kind of argument seems to have nothing to do with Chinese herbal medicines!
Why does this guy like Chinese herbal medicine again!
You can also find Chinese herbal medicines! This seems to be a bit of a cross-border treasure hunt.
Without waiting for Xu Boan to understand, he heard the little people who were watching Jin Dajian control the excavator to dig the soil, and let out one exclamation after another.
"Oh my God, that's ...... Pangolins! ”
"What the pangolin is holding in its hand...... Oh my God, save the poor grass! It's to save the poor! ”
"Is it really to save the poor? I haven't read a book, don't lie to me. ”
"Yes, I've seen this in the city's pharmacy, but this one seems to be bigger."
"Great, legend has it that if you can see the freshly dug grass to save the poor, then the person who sees it will have fortune."
"Ahh And this statement, doesn't that mean that all of us are going to become rich people? ”
"Of course, saving the poor grass is very expensive, and if you sell this thing, you will naturally become rich."
"What do you think, this is something dug up by the magic weapon tool of the mountain god's grandfather, no matter how you say it, it will not be our turn to buy and sell."
Save the Poor Grass!
Hearing someone shout this name, Xu Boan instantly knew that he was right, this thing was Huang Jing.
Yellow essence is also known as the grass that saves the poor.
This title comes from the book "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica" written by Lan Mao, a person from southern Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty.
As you can tell from the name, this is a medical book.
That's right, it is, and this is not an ordinary medical book, but also the first local monograph on materia medica, more than 140 years earlier than Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".
It's just that since this name has been handed down in the bonsai world, it naturally has a history.
Nine times out of ten, the name "saving the poor grass" also originated during that time, otherwise it would never be such a coincidence.
Seeing that there are signs that the culture here is related to the Ming Dynasty, it seems that it can also show that there were people in the Ming Dynasty who had contact with bonsai.
Xu Bo'an was thinking about these things here, the beast that had just been dug out of the pit by Jin Dajian with an excavator, but the beast lying there was still feasting on the juice secreted by the root-like grass of the tree.
Soon, the pangolin heard the noise of people chirping, and seemed to be a little frightened, and looked up from time to time to see that no one was coming this way, so it continued to enjoy it with confidence.
After a while, when people's attention came over, they approached the edge of the soil pit, only to see that the little pangolin reluctantly sucked a few times on the yellow essence medicinal herbs, and then turned around and was about to run away.
It's just that the land that was just plain in its eyes made a clear "bang" sound when it suddenly approached, and then the pangolin only felt a pain in its head, and then found that it had not been able to burrow directly into the soil at all, but as if it had crashed into a transparent wall.
Seeing the pangolin appearing here, Xu Boan naturally couldn't let it run away like this, so he immediately took a transparent plastic bottle and covered it directly, and the pangolin didn't pay attention for a while, so he hit it directly.
After Xu Boan saw the pangolin bumping into it, he quickly crooked the mouth of the bottle, and then fished it up, and fished out the pangolin in the bottle.
Xu Bo'an then went to observe the glass teacup in the valley behind the mountain temple.
On the tea partition in the glass teacup, the little pangolin that had protruded in the middle was indeed gone.
Xu Boan looked carefully and found the problem.
The small holes in the tea partition were blocked by small gold beads that were larger.
Because the little gold bead is protruding, this beast is relying on this protruding little gold bead as a stepping stone, and then crosses the water surface from the teacup, and then crawls out directly.
Well, this little guy is quite clever. actually used the combination of his own advantages and the surrounding environment to come up with a way to escape.
And what Xu Boan didn't expect was that this little guy's pure gold output was so high.
The first wave of golden beans had just been released earlier, and Xu Boan was asked to make a new gold jewelry, and it was not long ago. It made a second batch of pure gold beads.
This is more strange than the eggs laid by a rooster.
While this unique purification method may sound disgusting, it's not uncommon to think of things like cat poop coffee.
Besides, if the sheep dung eggs that come out of your sheep poop are gold, then you will not feel disgusted nine times out of ten, after all, a pure gold sheep dung egg does not seem to be unacceptable.
After all, there is still a gap between "what if" and "what if".
Just like that classic joke.
"If you have 100 million, will you support the company?" The company leader asked his little brother.
"That's no problem, I'm willing to work with the company." The employee said conclusively.
"What if you have 1 million?" The leader asked again.
The employee hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Leader, you are laughing, 100 million is no problem, this little drizzle is naturally no problem, I can even dedicate it all to the company." ”
The leader happily continued to ask, "What if you have 100,000?" ”
The employee's face changed, and he couldn't help but grab his mobile phone and said, "Leader, can you stop making this kind of joke, I only have 100,000." If the company is really in trouble, I can leave the company and save some expenses. ”
The leader is dumbfounded, and the story is over.
The story further shows that some things are easier said when they don't have them, but they are different when you have them.
Xu Boan looked at the pangolin in the bottle, and asked with some tears and laughter: "Why did you little guy want to run out." ”
The pangolin muttered in a natural tone: "What run out, I'm hungry, I'm looking for something to eat." ”
Xu Boan asked curiously: "Looking for something to eat, but what you just looked for is obviously for drinking, right?" I didn't see you go to eat either. ”
In Xu Bo'an's impression, this little guy is not allowed to eat diamonds, but gold! What's the deal with sucking the sap from the roots.
Who knew that the pangolin said with a proud face: "That's not an ordinary drink, it's definitely a good thing, we can eat that thing and our eyes can become brighter." ”
Xu Boan asked suspiciously, "Oh? How do you know this knowledge? ”
The pangolin said with some confusion: "I don't know, anyway, when we drink that thing, when we crawl in the soil, our eyes will light up a lot." ”
Xu Boan instantly understood that it seemed that this animal also had its own unique way of judging and inheriting.
"And how do you know there's something there?" Xu Boan asked curiously. Xu Bo'an remembers that the perception ability of pangolins is very limited by distance.
"The smell, my nose is very strong, especially sensitive to things that are useful to us." The pangolin muttered proudly.
Xu Boan didn't talk to the little pangolin again, but put the little pangolin in the tea cup again, and then found an embroidery needle and took out the small gold beads stuck in it.
Well, a few more golden beans have come in, which feels so cool!
"Okay, you stay here obediently, I'll bring you food."
After Xu Bo'an finished explaining to the pangolin, he turned around and went to find the gold knob of the diamond watch that had been half eaten by the little pangolin before.
Although this thing is not big, it is enough for a small pangolin to eat it for a while.
After settling down the pangolin, Xu Boan focused his attention on the few villains next to the pit.
At this time, the yellow essence in the pit had been completely dug out by the villains.
The yellow essence with a big arm really surprised Xu Boan.
Look at this, I am afraid that the five or six hundred years that I have previously determined are not enough, and it is not even thousands of years.
Millennial yellow essence, just listening to the name, Xu Bo'an felt the price of this medicinal material.
What made Xu Bo'an pay more attention was that as this thing was taken out of the soil, Xu Bo'an also smelled a dry but fragrant smell.
This smell was revealed from a piece of skin that had been torn apart by the pangolin, and the refreshing taste instantly made Xu Boan feel much more comfortable.
At the same time, through the judgment of the taste, Xu Boan is even more fortunate that this yellow essence is absolutely extraordinary.
Xu Bo'an was happily thinking that with this thousand-year-old yellow essence, he seemed to be able to make a very good pill.
Suddenly, a quarrel came from there.
"Put it down, it's not something you can touch." This was Kim Dajian's angry voice.
Opposite him was a new young man, who had a feeling that a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and countered: "Why? This thing was dug up in the field, so naturally it was the seeker who saw it, and I think some of this thing must be mine. ”
A young man beside Xiao Qing also nodded hurriedly: "That's right, we think so too, we must have our share." You can't just bully outsiders. ”
Jin Dajian gasped angrily and said: "Bastard, dare to think about anything, this place is the territory of Grandpa Mountain God, and every grass and tree here belongs to his old man."
Besides, this poor grass is something dug up from the magic weapon that Grandpa the Mountain God rewarded us, how can it be yours. ”
The young man sneered dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what you say is funny, we have already planned to dig here, even if we don't have that magic weapon, we can dig it ourselves." There are so many of us, there is a high probability that we can dig it up. ”
Jin Dajian said angrily: "You don't mess around there, if you are asked to dig, maybe you can't dig it, and you still have nothing to do with it when others get rich." ”
The man said with a dead face: "I don't care, anyway, I have to take my share, my family is almost poor and can't open the pot, if there is a three long and two short in my family, are you responsible." ”
Jin Dajian gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard, do you really think that I can't do anything about you, Grandpa Mountain God agreed to let you come here to live and work, and eating is already a great tolerance, you are so ignorant?" ”
The young man said nonsense: "I don't care, this thing has to have my share." Grandpa Mountain God hasn't said anything yet, what are you doing here. ”
Xu Boan looked down and immediately saw a young man yelling at Jin Dajian.
Xu Bo'an immediately frowned, displeased.
Some people are really difficult to treat, Shengmien, Doumien, no matter how good you are to him, he may not be able to be really grateful.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan was too lazy to let Jin Dajian reason with that person.
Immediately reached in directly, and instantly grabbed a villain, and then shook it slightly, and saw that the villain seemed to be standing unsteadily, and the root-like yellow essence in his hand also fell to the ground.
Xu Bo'an picked up the yellow essence and took it out of the bonsai in an instant, leaving only the young man with a confused and frightened face, stunned for a long time and unable to say a word.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he seems to be on the wrong side.
He was just about to stand up when he heard an empty word from the sky.
"Jin Dajian, drive these unruly people to the city wall to help Yu Daoquan and them defend the city wall. If you still don't perform well in your new position, you can just be kicked out. ”
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the happiest people belonged to the mountain bandits who were guarding the city wall.
During this time, as the number of people in the mountain village continued to increase, the number of people entering and exiting the gate gradually became more frequent.
Although the flow of people is not large, there are only a dozen of them, and it is very difficult to work in two shifts. At this time, if a new person joins, the job will be much easier.
Yu Daoquan was happy, when he heard a shout in the distance.
"Open the door, I'm Li Qingshi, I'm Li Qingshi again. Haha......"
Xu Bo'an raised his eyebrows, he hadn't seen Li Qingshi for some time. (End of chapter)
