Chapter 0581 - Hundred Years of Wild Mountain Ginseng
Ginseng is also a sacred herb, and there are various folklore.
Although the main production area of ginseng is in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China, I will never be mistaken, between a bunch of herbs in the back basket of Shuisheng, there is a plant with ginseng flowers, and from the flowers and seeds of ginseng, the age of this ginseng is definitely not short, at least it is above the grade of several decades!
In this year, as long as it is not artificially planted ginseng, it must have extremely strict requirements for the growth environment, ginseng is also known as goblin, where it grows, it must be the place where the spirit of the earth is condensed, the value of this wild ginseng, if you take it out for auction, at least tens of thousands of yuan!
Shui Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around suspiciously and took down the back basket to take a look, and then held the ginseng flower and asked me, "You said this is a ginseng flower?" I picked it on the other side of the mountain, my sister was sick, I went there to pick the 'azure and white', maybe I picked it together by accident, we basically don't have ginseng here in southeast Guizhou, so I don't know this is a ginseng flower! ”
Azure ground white has the effect of dispelling wind and clearing heat, dampness, detoxification, general Chinese medicine in the countryside will use this medicine to treat colds, coughs, sore throats, drenching, belt down, and snake wounds, etc., this herb for the mountain people who know a little bit of Chinese medicine, it is also a more versatile herb, Shui Sheng's back basket does have a lot of this medicine!
But what I cared about was this ginseng flower, and after hesitating for a while, I asked Shui Sheng if she could take me to the place where she collected the herb to find it.
Shui Sheng glanced at Zhang Quan hesitantly, then nodded helplessly, and led us back to slowly go up the mountain along the mountain road.
The girls in the mountains have good foot strength, so the deeper the girls in the mountains, the less obese they are, and everyone is unconsciously working and exercising, and the excess fat is consumed, and the poor places can't eat too much meat dishes, and where to get excess fat?
Shui Sheng's foot strength is good, his figure is also there, his voice is better, he couldn't help but sing the mountain song in front of us, and when he asked Zhang Quan, he knew that she sang "March 3" this time, and it was also the tune of the well-known big song of the Dong family, which was sung in her mouth, and also had a tactful and melodious charm!
Under her singing, I unconsciously have a feeling of relaxation, in fact, everything is good in the mountains, the mountains are good, the mountains and rivers are good, but the people's vision is low, it is always easy to do some unreasonable things, I unconsciously with the drift of this song thought of my own life experience and the Miao village where I have lived for many years, although I now know that it is not my hometown, I am not a person from Miao Village, but I will always think of that village in the bottom of my heart, so there are not many people in the village who are good to me, it is still unforgettable......
"That's around here, I haven't been too far away!"
Shui Sheng's voice, suddenly pulled me back to reality, I wandered around looking around, but to find a ginseng without flowers and leaves, that is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, folklore to encounter ginseng to tie a red rope, and then use a wooden shovel to pick up the ginseng, "Moon Pool Ginseng Biography" records, ginseng taboo iron, so according to the general saying, Shui Sheng with an iron sickle cut off the flowers and leaves, ginseng will run along the ley lines of the air, but this is only folklore after all......
Ginseng can't really run away, but I want to find it, but it's still hard!
The light and shadow under the shade of the trees are dappled, and a ray of sunlight shines through the gap between the leaves and falls on the ground covered with dead leaves, like gold coins falling, in order to prevent the traces on the ground from becoming messy, I asked Lan Dao and Shi Haiyang to stand and not move at will, and then look carefully!
Looking at my behavior, Shui Sheng looked stunned and suspicious!
Suddenly, Zhang Quan shouted: "Look, this is the black pink butterfly I told you, I didn't expect there to be ———— on the mountain."
"What?" I suddenly raised my head curiously, only to see a few small black moth-like butterflies fluttering their wings in the mottled light gap above my head as if jumping, judging from the appearance of the black pink butterflies, there is not much difference, and the black pink butterflies are not big, about the size of a thumb, but according to Zhang Quan, it is poisonous, I can't help frowning and staring at those black pink butterflies.
"Did you bring a plastic bag?" I suddenly turned my head and asked Shui Sheng.
Although Shui Sheng was suspicious, he still found a red plastic bag and handed it to me, I opened the plastic bag, then found a long branch, and found a few soft strips of paper to make the plastic bag into a trap that I caught, and then I saw it, a quick pocket, and suddenly a black pink butterfly was caught by me!
I quickly put away the plastic bag, and then carefully picked up the silver needle and directly tied the black powder butterfly on the plastic bag, and then I spread out the plastic bag, staring at the silver needle carefully, the black pink butterfly was pierced by the needle, and it overflowed a stream of milky white juice, I immediately frowned slightly!
The blood of ordinary moths or wild creatures is green, and the milky white juice symbolizes two extremes even in the biological world, either nutrition, or highly toxic, and some of them are starch-producing ingredients, while the black pink butterfly obviously does not produce starch!
I couldn't help but stare at this butterfly suspiciously for a while, then picked up my mobile phone and took a picture of this black pink butterfly, and then sent a picture to An Zhishu and said: "You help me ask Zhong Haishan, what is the scientific name of this black pink butterfly, and send me the information!" ”
Annoki quickly replied with an OK gesture.
I looked up at the few black pink butterflies that were still fluttering their wings in the forest, and I couldn't help frowning and sighing: "Forget it, don't look for ginseng, let's go back............"
As I spoke, I subconsciously pulled out the silver needle, and then let go of the injured black pink butterfly, I originally thought that this black pink butterfly probably wouldn't survive, but what made me strange was that this black pink butterfly flapped its wings a few times, and then suddenly flew up, and then landed on the stem of half a plant not far away, and stopped there!
My gaze froze for a moment, and I suddenly walked over there in surprise, and then picked up the ginseng flowers and leaves in my hand and compared them with the stump of the plant where the black pink butterfly fell, and suddenly a ray of surprise flashed in my eyes and I said: "Damn!" This is that ginseng! ”
"What?" Shui Sheng hurriedly ran over, looked at the ginseng stalk in surprise, and reached out to grab it!
"Don't touch ————," I hurriedly shouted to Shui Sheng.
Shui Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand, looked at me strangely and asked, "I found this ginseng, why can't I touch it?" ”
"It's a bit unusual!" I stared at the black pink butterfly that was holding out a straw and was sucking the sap from the ginseng stalk and said, "The black pink butterfly is poisonous, but it knows how to suck the juice of ginseng, this thing is so weird, if this creature is poisonous, it will be incredible!" ”
Thinking of this, I suddenly turned my head to look at Zhang Quan and asked, "You said that these black pink butterflies often run in your black bean field?" ”
Zhang Quan nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"According to the record of "Treatise on Medicine", ginseng is afraid of five spirit fats, honey locust, black beans and purple quartz, so theoretically, if the black pink butterfly likes black beans, then it should not be interested in ginseng, this is the habit of living things, such as snakes like yin but not yang, fish like water but not land...... This black pink butterfly is weird! ”
Shui Sheng stared at me with a pair of bright eyes and said in shock: "Don't scare me? We have a lot of black powder butterflies here, what black bean ginseng, what's the connection? Why don't I understand what you're saying, do you mean this ginseng is poisonous? ”
I shook my head and thought about it with a frown!
Heaven and earth have yin and yang, nature has five elements, and mutual restraint has always been an eternal and unchanging law, but this black pink butterfly as a medium, actually likes black beans and ginseng at the same time, theoretically black beans and ginseng are both great tonics, but black beans and ginseng are mutually reinforcing, there is a clear record in "Medicine Pair", since the two relative great tonic medicines are liked by a poisonous butterfly at the same time, is there any connection between this?
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that the black chrysalis I was looking for should be inseparable from this black pink butterfly!
The black pink butterfly did not stay on the stump of the ginseng for a long time before flapping its wings and flying away, it looked as if it had not been injured, so I looked down and took a closer look at the ginseng that had been removed from the flowers and leaves, except for the black powder stained with some black pink butterflies, there was nothing else unusual!
I sighed suddenly, reached out and picked off the part of the black powder stained with the black powder butterfly, and then found a wooden branch, slowly dug around the ginseng to loosen the soil, and then carefully watched the ginseng vine appear in front of me, when the whole ginseng completely appeared under the eyes, I was suddenly a little surprised, from the quality and the length of the branch of the bearded vine, this wild ginseng may be longer than I imagined the year, if my vision is correct, this may be a nearly 100-year-old wild ginseng!
Just then, my phone rang!
