At this time, two figures jumped out like a whirlwind.
It was the two monkeys who came in. They picked some ripe wild fruits in the mountains and were reluctant to eat them. They looked everywhere for the figure of their benefactor Zhang Shaofei. They came to Liangtian Village and wandered for a long time. They saw Zhang Shaofei coming back from collecting herbs and entering the yard. . They waited outside the yard for a long time, but when Zhang Shaofei didn't come back, they couldn't help but run in.
Zhang Shaofei put down the bamboo basket, squatted down and stroked them gently: "Zuo, Ah You, how are you all?"
"Ouch, ouch!" the two monkeys shouted and nodded, each reaching out and handing a ripe purple-red wild fruit to Zhang Shaofei.
Zhang Shaofei took the wild fruit and handed it to his nose. He smelled it and felt a burst of natural aroma. He took a bite of the wild fruit and a stream of sweet juice flowed down from his mouth. The fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks. The sweetness refreshed his heart and spleen. He praised it. Said: "Oh, it smells so fragrant and sweet!"
Liang Futian pointed to the two monkeys and asked Zhang Shaofei: "Are they the monkeys you rescued by smashing my wooden box?"
"Yes." Zhang Shaofei nodded, "Kindness can resolve everything. You see, although they don't understand human language, they know how to repay kindness!"
Wang Shaoxiang: "Monkeys are very spiritual."
Liang Futian: "Hey, you also gave them names?"
Zhang Shaofei introduced seriously: "Yes! The big one is called Zuo, and the smaller one is called Ayou."
Liang Zhenlian laughed: "Brother Afei, the names you gave them are both weird and unique."
Liang Zhenhui laughed so much that he held his stomach: "There is a left and a right. This name is easy to remember. Okay, okay!"
"As long as you are friendly to them, these spiritual animals will also be friendly to you." Zhang Shaofei handed another wild fruit to Liang Futian and said jokingly, "Come on, Uncle Futian, eat this sweet wild fruit to relieve your anger. . They are compensating for your rotten wooden box."
Liang Futian took the wild fruit, took a bite, and joked: "This wild fruit is indeed sweet. This is the price of my two wooden boxes."
Liang Zhenlian smiled widely: "Dad, Brother A Fei smashed two wooden boxes at my house, but he gave us two more friends in the mountains. It's worth it! It's worth it!"
Liang Zhenhui took over the conversation and said to Liang Futian: "Brother A Fei came up to the mountain this time to not only save you, Dad, but also these monkeys. It's like the Bodhisattva of Savior came down to earth."
"How am I qualified to be the world-savior Bodhisattva?" Zhang Shaofei waved his hands, "As long as we have a kind heart, we can communicate with all the creatures in the world."
Liang Zhenlian saw the scene in front of her and said with admiration: "Brother A Fei is right."
Wang Shaoxiang struck up a conversation: "Fei'er has always been so kind-hearted."
Seeing these two monkeys being so obedient, Liang Futian blushed, rubbed his head and laughed.
The sunset on the Western Mountain gradually turned dark red, the setting sun sank over the mountain, and the surroundings were dim.
Zhang Shaofei waved his hand towards the two monkeys: "It's getting dark, you go back."
Seeing that no one had any ill intentions towards them, the two monkeys happily performed three somersaults in front of them before leaving.
Zhang Shaofei then poured the Chinese herbal medicines in the basket on the ground in the courtyard and introduced the names and medicinal effects of the mountain herbs to everyone one by one. It contains Cnidium monnieri, Atractylodes, Acorus, Double Flower, Phellodendron, Angelica dahurica, etc., as well as cicada slough that can dispel wind-heat, dispel wind and relieve itching.
Liang Zhenhui was a little skeptical and asked: "Brother Afei, can these wild herbs cure your mother's skin disease?"
"There should be no problem!" Zhang Shaofei said with certainty, "My mother's skin disease is caused by heat toxins causing qi stagnation and blood stasis. She should be treated with mountain herbs that cool blood and remove blood stasis, dispel wind and relieve itching. Although the medicine I picked today is Quite a few, but unfortunately one of the major mountain herbs has not yet been harvested.”
Liang Zhenhui asked: "Brother A Fei, what major mountain herbs are you still missing?"
Zhang Shaofei: "Sophora flavescens. Sophora flavescens can clear away heat and dampness, relieve diarrhea due to heat poisoning, and treat itchy skin. To cure my mother's disease, this main medicine is indispensable."
Liang Zhenhui: "Can the Sophora flavescens you mentioned be found in Yunwu Mountain?"
Zhang Shaofei: "When I was carrying your father up the mountain, I checked carefully. There were many mountain herbs on the way, but there was no sophora flavescens. There was no sophora flavescens in the places I visited today."
Liang Zhenhui: "Where does Sophora flavescens grow?"
Zhang Shaofei described: "It is often found in the protrusions of stone crevices on cliffs. It experiences a lot of wind, frost, sun, rain and dew, so the medicinal effects of Sophora flavescens collected there are the best."
"Cliff?" Liang Zhenhui said smoothly, "I know there is a steep cliff in the mountain with many flowers and plants growing on it. I wonder if there is the sophora flavescens you want to pick."
Zhang Shaofei: "It's getting late now. You can take me to the cliff tomorrow to have a look. It will be hard on you."
Liang Zhenhui pretended to be unhappy: "Brother A Fei, you saved my father's life, and I haven't had the chance to repay you yet. But this time you're being polite to me?!"
Zhang Shaofei stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
The next day, the sun rises in the east, the sky is filled with morning glow, and Yunwu Mountain is bathed in the morning sun, making the scenery particularly charming.
On the purple magnolia tree in Liang Futian's yard, pairs of birds were jumping happily and singing.
Facing the morning breeze, Liang Zhenhui and Zhang Shaofei walked left and right in the mountains. The two of them were covered in sweat until they finally reached the edge of a cliff.
Zhang Shaofei stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Below the cliff was an abyss of a hundred feet, surrounded by clouds and fog. Looking across the way, he saw purple-colored stone walls as steep as a knife. There were occasionally some small trees and unknown trees around the protruding rocks. grass.
Zhang Shaofei searched for a while and finally found something. He shouted loudly: "Hey, there are some sophora flavescens on the cliff over there."
Liang Zhenhui: "Where is Sophora flavescens opposite?"
Zhang Shaofei pointed to the cliff opposite: "Hey, it's right there."
Liang Zhenhui followed Zhang Shaofei's expectations. The stone wall opposite was extremely steep, and a goshawk was circling. He opened his eyes wide and searched around, but couldn't find it. He murmured: "Where is the sophora flavescens on the cliff over there?"
Zhang Shaofei saw that Liang Zhenhui still hadn't discovered Sophora flavescens, so he put his hand on his cheek and pointed forward: "There is an old pine tree above the eagle's nest over there. About two feet away from it, there are several trees growing very densely. There are bunches of yellow and white flowers blooming on the small trees.”
After Zhang Shaofei's detailed reminder, Liang Zhenhui put a small sunshade under his forehead, blinked hard, and looked intently. Only then did he realize something. He nodded and said, "Ah, I saw it. There are bunches of yellow and white flowers blooming." The small tree is next to the protruding rock on the opposite side."
Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Yes."
Two monkeys, Zuo and You, were playing in the mountains. They heard the sound and came here, wandering around Zhang Shaofei and Liang Zhenhui.
Liang Zhenhui's eyes scanned the cliff over there, and his face became solemn: "Brother Afei, how can you pick the sophora flavescens from the cliff over there? You should know that several people collecting herbs have fallen to their death on this cliff."
Zhang Shaofei: "Don't scare me."
Liang Zhenhui: "I'm telling the truth. Last year, a herb picker from out of town fell to his death. He was about the same age as me, and he was also a famous rock climbing expert."
Zhang Shaofei gently stroked the monkey Zuo's head and said to Liang Zhenhui: "Monkeys are the most agile animals in the mountains and are experts at climbing trees. Do you think Zuo and You can help?"
