Chapter 060 Going into the Mountains to Find Plants
Yang Zengyue listed the names of several plants. Jiuxiao often collected herbs, and he knew at a glance that these plants were particularly "poisonous" and not easy to find.
Over the past twenty years, Kunshan has been closed to the outside world for forest cultivation, and the vegetation in the mountains has become extremely lush. Many plants hide on the high cliffs and are difficult to find.
"Gelsemium elegans is easy to find, but I haven't seen Tripterygium wilfordii in the mountains of Sikun Mountain for a long time." He recognized all the plants listed by Yang Zengyue and told them their locations.
"Take as many as you can find. You don't have to plant all of these." Some plants with good temperaments can actually be very lethal.
For example, tuberose.
It looks no different from ordinary plants, and its fragrance spreads in the air, and you'll be attracted to it before you know it.
However, not all tuberoses can mutate.
At that time, she would plant a few around the house and activate them with her supernatural powers. If she couldn't use her supernatural powers to make the plants mutate, she would just have to wait for the end of the world to come and see what God would do.
After breakfast, they locked the door and went into the mountains wrapped up tightly.
Yang Zengyue cast marks all around the house and also tampered with the road leading up the mountain.
I'm not afraid even if someone comes.
Pumpkin walked in front and disappeared in a moment.
The vegetation in Sikun Mountain is very lush, so they will not go to the location of Xingyun Temple this time.
But in the other direction.
The last time Chen Jiaer and Yang Zengyue went into the mountains, they didn’t pay much attention to the scenery.
Her heart was on the ancient building. After all, it was what Sister Zengyue had always been thinking about, and she wanted to see it as soon as possible.
It was very relaxing to go into the mountains to look for plants. You could hear birds singing everywhere, and the sound carried to the other side of the mountain and back again.
But it makes people feel particularly quiet.
The road into the mountains to collect herbs is not flat, and you have to cross several thousand-foot mountain streams.
There is only a single-plank bridge at both ends of the mountain stream.
Although it doesn't look like it's in disrepair, it's still very challenging to a person's psychology.
The naughty Chen Jiaer threw a few stones into the mountain stream, and it was only after several minutes that he heard a sound coming from the bottom.
You can imagine how deep the abyss under the mountain stream is. You can't see the bottom and no light can reach it.
"Sister Zengyue, have you and Master Jiuxiao been going back and forth in these places to collect herbs?" If it were me before the end of the world, I would have been stunned seeing such a mountain.
Not to mention crossing the single-plank bridge over the mountain stream to the other side.
Yang Zengyue nodded: "Not often, only once or twice a year."
Medicinal herbs have a ripening season, one wave in early summer and another in late autumn. She and her master only come here during these two seasons.
It won't come at other times.
The single-plank bridge has not been repaired for a long time.
This time when Yang Zengyue came back, he didn't plan to repair it again. In the future, there would be no need to use a bridge to cross such a mountain stream. He could just jump over it.
Chen Jiaer really admires her sister Zengyue. She has been walking on such a single-plank bridge since she was very young. No wonder there is nothing she is afraid of.
"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Jiaer was still a little curious.
Yang Zengyue recalled the first time he crossed these single-plank bridges: "I was afraid. How could I not be afraid?"
If you fall down, you will die.
She is also flesh and blood.
What's more, I was young at that time, and my scalp tingled when I saw the mountain stream.
But she knew she couldn't retreat.
He gritted his teeth and walked over.
Just like the master said, just think of it as practicing your balancing skills.
After walking a few times, I was still afraid.
But she didn't tell her master again.
This went on for more than ten years.
Now when she walks again, she is no longer afraid, and she can just jump over these mountain streams.
No need to worry about falling into the abyss.
Chen Jiaer decided not to walk on the single-plank bridge as it didn't look safe.
It’s better to rely on yourself.
Carrying the basket on her back, she easily jumped to the other side of the cliff ten meters away.
Jiuxiao was not surprised to see her action. After glimpsing that his granddaughter moved the medicine hoe in her right hand to her left hand, he was a little confused about what she was going to do.
Then, Jiuxiao found himself being held by Yang Zengyue with one hand, and in the blink of an eye they were on the other side of the mountain.
Suddenly his old face turned red...
Chen Jiaer clapped her hands and praised: "Sister Zengyue's kung fu is still so good."
Yang Zengyue put down the somewhat embarrassed Jiuxiao and said, "Master, we haven't repaired the single-plank bridge for a long time. I'm afraid it's not safe."
Jiuxiao said "hmm" and led the way forward. He was worried that Zengyue would have forgotten the place when he returned.
Some plants grew on the edge of the cliff. When he and Zengyue came here before, they could only look at them.
This time is different.
Zengyue should have a way to pick those top-quality herbs.
"It's early summer now, and it will take some time for the medicinal herbs to mature, but we can pick them and plant them for emergencies." Jiuxiao told Zengyue his thoughts.
They may not have time to come here in the future. By the end of July at the latest, they will have a lot more things to do and many more people to deal with.
"Well, leave it to me and Jiaer." Yang Zengyue said as if he was almost patting his chest.
Unless these medicinal herbs grow into the sky, there is no way they can escape from her and Chen Jiaer's hands.
Yang Zengyue decided to leave some seedlings for them and pack up the rest to take home.
She has been coveting these guys for a long time.
The herbs targeted by the boss are trembling on the cliff...
Jiuxiao knew that Chen Jiaer didn't know the medicinal herbs, so he pointed out the ones that could be picked and left the rest to the two of them.
Yang Zengyue stared at the lush green Coptis chinensis growing on the cliff. It was in bloom now.
Coptis chinensis is a perennial herb that blooms from June to July and fruits from July to September.
It can clear away dampness and heat, disperse blood stasis and reduce swelling, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. After being picked and dried, they can be used to treat external injuries.
Leaping up, Yang Zengyue stuck close to the cliff wall, hooked his feet on the protruding rocks, and hung steadily on it. He stretched out his hand and picked the most lush bunch of flowers.
He threw it into the backpack and jumped to another bush. After a few trips back and forth, he picked a lot.
Chen Jiaer did the same as her, but she picked Chuanxiong and wild Dendrobium.
The two girls jumped around on the rock wall like climbing stone monkeys, picking all the medicinal herbs they could.
Yang Zengyue also discovered a small plant, but its leaves stood upright unnaturally.
Its flowers look small but are very beautiful.
She didn't recognize the plant.
Yang Zengyue planned to pick it and show it to his master, perhaps he would recognize it.
This plant looks so strange.
Its leaves are as big as a palm, but there are only two of them, but there are nine flower stems.
What's strange is that each one has a flower, and the color of each flower is different, with no overlap.
There are even rare blue and black colors.
Yang Zengyue didn't remember that this kind of plant grew here. Maybe he just hadn't discovered it before?
After picking it, Yang Zengyue stretched out his fingers to fiddle with the flowers of the plant. The flower stems were very elastic and looked so beautiful.
