After eating and drinking, the meat was placed on the snow and buried.
In order to prevent wild animals from coming to eat the meat, Zhao Wei and Lin Qinghe also set up many secret passages around the meat.
Looking at Zhao Wei's skillful techniques, Lin Qinghe felt that as a person who grew up in the mountains, he also needed to improve himself.
He also knows how to set up these traps.
But compared with Zhao Wei's brilliant ideas, his methods seemed crude and shoddy, and were simply not worth mentioning.
Zhao Wei could naturally see what Lin Qinghe was thinking. He was very familiar with this man's every move. He could often sense what the other party was saying just by a glance or a raise of the hand.
Therefore, he taught Lin Qinghe all the wisdom he had accumulated from his descendants without reservation.
At this moment, he was no longer a disciple, but more like a master than Lin Qinghe.
After Lin Qinghe built the last chance, he stood up, patted the snow off his body, and said with some emotion.
"You...sometimes, I always feel like you're the worm in my stomach. Tsk tsk..."
"Yeah... cough cough, Master, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? If I were a roundworm, I would be your offspring. Do you want to abort me?"
That was a close call, I almost called him grandpa again, oh... I really can't call him grandpa anymore, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
Yunxiu was giggling as she listened to this. Perhaps it was the words "your baby" and "abortion" that tickled her funny bone. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.
Lin Qinghe angrily shook his hand and walked forward, not intending to engage in an argument with Zhao Wei.
Well, because he couldn't argue with his disciple.
Tsk tsk…
What kind of suffering is this in the world? My disciple’s mouth is really vicious. I feel like he has been poisoned to the point of being mute. What should I do?
…
The three of them returned to the place where they had hunted the wild boar just now. Zhao Wei was still thinking about the chicken blood vine there.
After taking a look at it, Lin Qinghe was quite pleased with it, mainly because it was needed as part of the medicine he prepared on a daily basis.
So, Zhao Wei climbed up the stone wall halfway up the mountain without saying a word, and after a lot of effort, he finally cut down some of it.
He specially selected some better branches, and when he returned, he planned to make some jewelry for his wife and mother to wear.
Lin Qinghe didn't know all this. If he knew, he would probably think he was too extravagant. After all, it was worth some money.
In addition to these plants, some animal feces and other medicinal materials also need to be collected in winter.
For example, Wulingzhi is the dried feces of a flying squirrel. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain. It is used quite frequently during daily travels.
For example, wild rabbit feces can also be used, called Wangyuesha, which has the effect of improving eyesight and killing insects.
Even wild boar dung can be useful, but it requires special means to be forged into charcoal.
There is another kind, called Yemingsha, which is the excrement of bats. It has the effects of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, dispersing stasis and eliminating accumulation, and can be used to treat symptoms such as red, swollen and painful eyes and night vision.
…
It can be said that in this vast universe, the role of feces and urine in traditional Chinese medicine alone could probably be written into a book.
After Lin Qinghe's explanation, Zhao Wei also realized how many useful medicinal herbs he had missed.
"Master, where are these things usually hidden? Now that we are here, we must find a way to get more."
Zhao Wei humbly asked Lin Qinghe for advice.
Lin Qinghe looked up and looked around, pointing in the direction of a cave and said, "Like five-spirit fat, generally flying squirrels live near rocks, they like to defecate in fixed places, as long as you can find their habitat, you can find a lot of them."
"Where is the Night-Shining Sand? Bats usually live deep in dark and damp caves, or in the cracks in the eaves of ancient buildings. We have to look carefully for it."
"besides……"
Lin Qinghe's clear and bright voice told these strange stories slowly and steadily, which relieved the hardship of the journey.
The three of them walked towards the cave on the mountainside. The closer they got, the more obvious the strange smell in the air became.
Yunxiu wrinkled her nose, covered her mouth and nose, her eyes full of disgust: "This smell is so bad, so disgusting, ugh..."
Lin Qinghe smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this smell. It might be a sign of the presence of Wulingzhi."
Entering the cave, the light suddenly dimmed.
Zhao Wei found some dead branches, made a few torches, and after lighting them, the dim light illuminated the interior of the cave.
They moved forward cautiously, their eyes searching the ground carefully.
"Ah! Really? Look over there..."
Lin Qinghe suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing to a spot of black granular feces on the ground.
Zhao Wei and Yun Xiu rushed over and saw that the feces were irregular in shape, rough in surface, and emitted a unique smell.
Lin Qinghe squatted down and took a closer look. After confirming that this was the five-spirit fat, he took out a special cloth bag and began to collect it carefully.
Zhao Wei also followed suit and helped collect.
Although Yunxiu was somewhat reluctant, she endured the discomfort and helped out, thinking that the feces could cure diseases and save lives.
After collecting the five-spirit fat, they continued to look for traces of the night-shining sand.
According to Lin Qinghe's experience, they came to an abandoned temple.
This dilapidated temple is very old, with mottled walls and several holes in the roof. The sunlight shines through the holes onto the dusty ground.
Walking inside, the dilapidated temple was covered with cobwebs, and the faces of the statues looked blurred and hideous due to the erosion of time, as if telling the vicissitudes of the past.
This place used to be a popular place, and people from all over the place would come here to burn incense and make offerings.
Later, the country was in crisis, and the old Taoist priest took the young Taoist priest down the mountain to fight. This place became a desolate land, which is really sad.
Suddenly, a series of "puffing" sounds came from the roof, disrupting Zhao Wei's thoughts.
It turned out that a group of bats were frightened and flew up from the beams, circling above them and making sharp cries.
Yunxiu was so scared that she almost screamed and quickly buried her face in Zhao Wei's back.
The main thing is that this bat is a bit scary when viewed up close, and it looks no different from a creature from the underworld.
"It's okay, these little beasts are just disturbed."
As Lin Qinghe spoke, he raised the torch, trying to illuminate every corner of the ruined temple, looking for the bat's nest.
Zhao Wei and Lin Qinghe cooperated tacitly, one kept an eye on the movements of the bats, while the other carefully checked the ground.
It is said that the night-shining sand is hidden beneath the bat habitat.
In a corner of the ruined temple, they soon found bat droppings.
Lin Qinghe walked over quickly, squatted down, carefully identified them, took out a cloth bag and began to collect them.
Zhao Wei and Yunxiu were already used to helping out, and they were busy without any complaints.
They just didn't expect that these beasts would be difficult to deal with and would attack them.
