Chapter 28: Confucius was injured in a fall while collecting medicine

The hills of the hills are not large and belong to the hilly area.

Since the population of the Song Kingdom is small, so! The hills are overgrown with trees and shrubs.

Due to the small population, the natural way of survival of one or the other, the living space of wild beasts is also large. Among the trees of the hills, there are many wild beasts and many species.

Reputedly! There have been tigers in the past.

Presently! Leopards are active beasts here.

In the past, bears were infested for a while. Because the bear was so stupid, it was quickly wiped out by humans.

For Confucius, a city dweller, the scenery in the mountains is very good, with green trees, small streams and flowing water, birds singing and flying freely, blue sky and white clouds.

But! For those who have always lived here, there is not so much poetry.

Today's Confucius, without that Yaxing, admires the scenery in the mountains.

On the way from Lu to Song, he admired it all the way. It's true! Linger.

Today! He wants to chase and protect his aunt.

Leaving the village and entering the mountains, my aunt was like a hare, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Confucius chased desperately before he saw the figure of his aunt. After rushing for a long time, my aunt was digging herbs on the cliff before he caught up.

"You? What are you doing here? ”

Seeing Confucius running over with a sweaty head, the aunt was startled at first, and then her expression changed, and she didn't show mercy at all, and asked.

"I'll protect you!" Confucius gasped.

"Protect me?"

"You are a woman, I don't feel at ease when you run into the mountains!" Confucius said.

"Not sure?" The aunt was amused by Confucius's seriousness and said, "This is my hometown!" I've lived here since I was a kid. What's the danger here? ”

"There's no danger here, huh?" Confucius turned his head to look around and asked suspiciously.

There are trees and shrubs all around, and people are standing in them, and you can't see them unless they are facing each other.

"Nope!"

"If there were beasts or bad guys! You can't even find out! Confucius said fearfully.

"Where is the danger? Bears have long been shot by our ancestors, tigers have not been there for hundreds of years. Only leopards! I was also driven into the mountains by my father. Wild boars and other places do not dare to appear near inhabited areas! ”

"Wild boar? And wild boars? When Confucius heard this, he looked even more afraid.

"Yes! But! Wild boars will only appear in the morning and evening, and wild boars during the day hide in their nests. Their nest, on top of a hill. Or in a place with a lot of bushes, where the average person can't go. So! It is safe during the day. ”

"Oh! Then I'll help you pick the medicine! I don't worry about you! After collecting the medicine, let's go back together! Confucius replied.

"Hmm!" The aunt looked at Confucius and said, "I'm not at ease when you go back now!" You didn't go up the mountain with a knife! You? ”

Auntie thought to herself: Just your bare hands, you still go up the mountain to protect me? I'm pretty much protecting you, and I've got a hatchet with me.

Generally, people who enter the mountains, whether they are hunters or not, must carry knives or sticks in case of accidents, and Auntie is no exception. But Confucius, but he didn't bring anything.

When the aunt had a helper, she took off the basket on her back and let Confucius hold it. The firewood knife was also handed over to Confucius and asked him to hold it for self-defense. Herself! He took a shovel and dug up herbs everywhere.

Confucius wanted to help, but he didn't know herbs, and he wanted to help but couldn't.

To know! Confucius in the eyes of later generations was a person who "did not distinguish between grains and grains".

Because Confucius did not farm, he could not distinguish between grains. Outcome! He was made fun of by the hermits of Taoism, and he was made fun of by the world.

When she encountered a steep slope, she climbed up, dug up the herbs and threw them below. Confucius went forward, picked up the herbs that had been thrown down, and put them in the basket.

Men and women match, work without getting tired. In just a few moments, I picked enough herbs to need. But! In my aunt's impression, there is still a taste of herbs that I haven't picked.

This herb grows in special places and is not found anywhere else.

But! Familiar with the terrain here, she knows where to go.

This herb is called Dendrobium officinalis, and it is a must-have herb for the locals. This herb prefers a humid, warm environment and prefers half-shade and half-yang light conditions. So! It generally grows on damp mountain cliffs. Or! Grows in the shade of large trees.

When she came to the bottom of the cliff with the resurrection grass, my aunt was dumbfounded. Someone may have been here before, and wherever it was possible to dig, it was dug up. If you want to dig, you have to climb to a high place. But! It is dangerous to do so.

This cliff is not high, only two or three feet high. But! It's steep. And! The rock face is smooth. The Soul Restoration Grass grows in the crevices of the stones, and if you want to dig it, you have to climb to it.

Auntie climbed up, alas! Her arms are short, and she just can't reach the height.

Soul revival grass does not need to be digged, as long as you grasp the root and pull it out.

"Come down! Get down! Dangerous! ”

Confucius saw that it was dangerous for his aunt to climb up, so he stood below and shouted loudly to let her come down.

The aunt didn't listen to Confucius at all and continued to work hard. Outcome! I tried a few more places, but I still can't reach them. In desperation! I had to come down.

But! She still caught a piece of Soul Rejuvenation Grass.

"This is the herb! Only this place has it! Everywhere else, where it was easy to dig, was dug up. ”

The aunt handed the Soul Rejuvenation Grass to Confucius to see.

"Oh!" Confucius looked at it and nodded.

"It's called Soul Rejuvenation Grass! We have to add this herb to our herbs! Auntie explained. Unlike other herbs, it likes to grow on mountain cliffs. In some places, it still grows on trees. Above the branches of a big tree, or in the hollow of a tree......"

There was no way, so the aunt had to let Confucius go up and pick it. Confucius was tall and could have reached him. Just now! She almost picked it all, otherwise she had picked it all.

Soul Rejuvenation Herb is a must-have herb, but! The dosage is not large. As long as you add a little bit, it is enough, which is equivalent to a medicine primer.

If it is easy to pick, the herb picker will pick more and use the rest to make it into a dry finished product for later use.

Confucius said yes and climbed the cliff.

He also saw the place where my aunt picked just now. So! Familiar with the road. It's good to be tall, to reach higher and farther.

Confucius threw the rejuvenating grass he had picked towards the aunt below. Auntie hurriedly stepped forward and put it in the basket.

Soon! Just pick enough of it.

"Come down! Get down! That's enough! That's enough! The aunt shouted at Confucius.

But! That's it! The unexpected happened!

It's easy to go up, but it's hard to get down.

Just like riding a horse, it's easy to get on and hard to get off. Didn't you say: there is also a "dismount"?

Confucius accidentally fell off a cliff as high as two people.

In the blink of an eye, he broke his head and bleed little, and he fell into a coma.

"Mound! Hill! Hill! ……”

The aunt cried and stepped forward, but she still couldn't catch Confucius.

Not only did she not catch it, but Confucius rolled down and knocked her to the ground. At last! Confucius pressed on him.
