It is said that there is no idle grass in the Qinling Mountains, and this is indeed true.
It had only been half a day since they entered the mountain, but the medicine baskets behind Daniel and Sun Simiao were already half full.
Of course, Xiaodong also packed a lot of things in his backpack, but while the big guys packed herbs, he packed all kinds of fruits...
Holding the bamboo basket on his back hard, Xiaodong caught up with Xiao Han with a grimace and said to him: "Master Marquis, can we do a good job and stop picking fruits! If you don't say it's not delicious, you're still dead. Heavy!"
When Xiao Han heard Xiaodong complaining, he flicked the fruit with most of the pulp left and threw it far away. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Bah, I never saw that you had too much when you ate! Why are you full now?" Are you disgusted with Shen? No way!"
"Then, you can't always put it in my backpack. Look, there are marks on my shoulders..." Xiaodong gestured to his shoulders, looking at the side with resentment and snickering. Such a fool, there is only a shallow layer in his backpack...
"Oh? Really?" Xiao Han stretched his neck to look at the two people's backpacks, then scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Hey, it's not my fault! Who told me that every time I get something, he would run aside first? , I’m just going to leave you to stay behind and not put it in the basket on your back. But it doesn’t matter, suffering is a blessing, suffering a blessing is a blessing!”
"Where is the blessing? Why didn't I see it?" Xiaodong muttered in a low voice. But Xiao Han didn't hear it at all. Just now, he seemed to have discovered something strange again, and ran over yelling.
People who have never been into the mountains will not understand the joy of going into the mountains. Although the journey is a little tiring, there are always unexpected surprises of this kind in the forest, which makes people dizzy.
Sun Simiao found a plant with small light yellow flowers under a vine, and happily moved it with soil into his basket. After searching the spot, no second plant was found, so I put away the medicine hoe and continued walking forward. In front, Xiao Han was jumping around like a monkey under a tree.
"Xiao Han, what are you doing?" Sun Simiao came over and asked strangely.
Xiao Han had already circled the tree several times. When he saw Sun Simiao coming, he was overjoyed. He quickly pulled him over and pointed him towards the tree: "Daozhang Sun? Come and see, Ganoderma lucidum!"
"What? Ganoderma lucidum?" Sun Simiao was shocked when he heard Ganoderma lucidum! He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the tree, but after a moment he smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Han, this is tree tongue, not Ganoderma lucidum! Tree tongue is a very common thing, there is no need to make a fuss."
"Tree tongue? Common? Wouldn't that be useless!"
When it comes to medicinal materials, Sun Simiao will never admit mistakes. Xiao Han immediately lost interest in such a big thing on the tree. Just now he thought he could break it off and make wine to drink, which would also extend his life.
But, having said that, since we are so young now, there seems to be no need to plan for such a long-term future.
Thinking of this, his slightly disappointed heart was revived with blood. He straightened his clothes and encouraged Sun Simiao to continue walking forward.
After walking a few steps, a stunned voice suddenly shouted from the side of the team: "Bear!"
"What? Is there a bear here?" When Xiao Han and Sun Simiao heard the cry, they looked at each other first, then turned around and ran towards the fool! It is said that this is the first time I have seen large animals in the Qinling Mountains in so long.
For safety reasons, the queue has been kept very short. Xiao Han rushed to Lengzi in a few steps, looked forward, and his eyes straightened out at that moment!
"Hey, darling, there is indeed a bear, and it's a big one!"
Just twenty or thirty steps in front of them, a black bear half as tall as a man was leaning against a big tree and scratching himself.
The shiny hair and bulging belly indicate that it has been eating well recently! So even if it saw Xiao Han and the others, it didn't have any intention of attacking. Instead, it looked at these special monkeys curiously. Why don't they have tails?
Next to Xiao Han, Jia Yi was holding a crossbow and carefully aimed at the crescent-like piece of white hair on the black bear's chest, which is where the black bear's heart is!
Jiayi knew very well that this strange weapon from Xiao Han's fiefdom was powerful enough to penetrate gold and stone at a distance of fifty steps! Now as long as Xiao Han gives the order, there is no chance of this black bear surviving!
However, he waited for a long time until the black bear shook his body and left, and Jiayi did not wait for Xiao Han's order to attack.
Putting down the gun, Jiayi turned to look at Xiao Han doubtfully, only to find that Sun Simiao was covering Xiao Han's mouth tightly...
"Huh... you're choking me to death! You're going to murder me!"
Seeing the black bear walking away, Sun Simiao let go of his hand. Xiao Han jumped away quickly, held his chest and took a few breaths, looking back at Sun Simiao fiercely.
Sun Simiao turned a blind eye to Xiao Han's murderous look, wiped the hand covering his mouth on his clothes, and then said: "Murder? I think you want to murder this bear! After all, it is also a living creature, it I didn’t mess with you.”
"Eh? How did you know I wanted to kill it?" Xiao Han was shocked when he heard it. To be honest, if Sun Simiao hadn't stopped him just now, he really had the idea of getting a bearskin mattress.
"How do I know?" Sun Simiao glanced at Xiao Han disdainfully, and then said: "Have you forgotten that you have said several times: You want to eat bear paws? I looked at you wrong just now! I kept staring at the bear paws Look, can’t you stop thinking about eating it every day? It’s also good to study more about pharmacology!”
"Ahem, I've never eaten it before! Taoist Priest, don't you know that in Chang'an, Chai Shao boasted to me about the deliciousness of bear paws several times. I just wanted to try it..." Xiao Hanyue said, his voice It got smaller and smaller, and in the end, under the coercion of Sun Simiao's eyes, the sound was almost as inaudible as the sound of a mosquito!
"You just want to try it? Do you know that if you try it, someone will give you a paw? How can you bear it?!" Sun Simiao was a little angry. He was not a vegetarian. But killing such a large number of creatures just for a taste is really inconsistent with the compassion of the old Taoist.
Besides, in this era, beasts and beasts are also different. Generally speaking: intelligent and powerful beasts will be labeled as spiritual beasts.
So in mythology, all the gods ride on dragons and tigers. The pets we keep are also bears and leopards! No matter how bad they are, they are still cows and dogs that everyone likes.
If someone raises sheep or ducks, they may be embarrassed to say hello to other gods when they go out.
You want to eat such a big spiritual beast? If you can’t offend the gods, how can you practice Taoism in the future?
Seeing that Sun Simiao was angry, Xiao Han knew that he would not be able to eat the bear's paw. But it doesn't matter, he just discovered something better!
After escaping Sun Simiao's angry gaze, Xiao Han took a few steps and ran to the tree where the bear was just now. After looking around it and listening attentively, Xiao Han raised his feet and walked deeper into the dense forest, following the footprints left by the bear when it came.
As soon as Xiao Han left, the four of them quickly followed. Just as he was about to ask Xiao Han why he was going this way, Xiao Han unexpectedly stopped in front of him again.
He looked around, lowered himself, and took off his clothes. Xiao Han carefully covered his head with clothes and looked forward furtively.
A and others became more and more strange and quickly asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hou, what are you doing?"
Xiao Han pointed a finger in front of his lips: "Shh, look ahead..."
"In front?" A was stunned for a moment, then he pushed aside the branches blocking his view and took a look, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
