Chapter 204 Leafy Grass



Shen Yanming's statement that it is useful for the HZ virus does not mean that it can cure the HZ virus, but rather that it can effectively control the HZ virus.

This plant emits a fragrance that can kill mosquitoes.

Of course, this fragrance will only kill harmful insects.

Bi Qiaoan was amazed after hearing this. If this plant were grown globally, the spread of the HZ virus would be greatly limited, right?

After Shen Yanming finished eating and drinking, he took several jade boxes and a few wide-mouthed plastic bottles from the storage area, put them into his hiking backpack, and then filled the two of their hiking backpacks with food and water.

Because he had a mission to complete on this trip up the mountain, Shen Yanming also brought a small tent with him.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan followed the same winding path they had taken before and climbed the mountain. Upon reaching the summit once again, they both felt refreshed and invigorated, as if they had inhaled a breath of celestial air.

The two followed the path they had taken earlier, picking many fruits along the way and putting them into the jade box. It is said that these special fruits can be stored in the jade box for a long time.

As Shen Yanming picked the fruit, he said, "Qiao An, this fruit is good for whitening and beautifying the skin. Eating it can make your skin better."

Look over there, that black fruit can restore energy in a short time, and can be eaten to quickly replenish physical strength when you are tired and weak.

The blue one can improve memory, and the red one can improve eyesight.

And that one, look, doesn't it look a lot like a walnut?

Bi Qiaoan nodded, and Shen Yanming smiled and ruffled Bi Qiaoan's bun. "Yeah, that's called a 'smart fruit,' it's for improving intelligence. I think you can eat more of it!"

Bi Qiaoan bristled upon hearing this, glaring at Shen Yanming with a fierce yet childish expression, "You dare to call me stupid! Just wait till I get my hands on you!"

Shen Yanming laughed and hugged Bi Qiaoan, "Oh my little aunt, I was just worried you might be pregnant. Eat more so our son will be smart in the future!"

Bi Qiaoan looked up to observe Shen Yanming's expression, but after a long time she couldn't find any trace of him lying, so she nodded, "Okay, I believe you!"

Then he turned around and went to pick the "smart fruit" from the tree.

Shen Yanming covered his mouth and laughed the moment Bi Qiaoan turned around. He thought, "My wife is fine this way. It doesn't matter if she's smart or not. As for our son, he should take after him."

After the jade box was filled, the two headed in a direction they had never been before.

Shen Yanming then began to introduce to Bi Qiaoan, "This is Linghua Xue. You can see that it is pure white. It can be used to make cosmetics, you know, it's an ancient skin care product."

And this one, it's called Jin Yu Ling, it looks like a small bell, you can use it to make tea, it's good for your health.

And these too, smell them, don't they smell wonderful? These can all be used to make perfume.

After seeing Shen Yanming pick a whole jade box full of the flowers he recognized and put it into his bag, Bi Qiaoan said to Bi Qiaoan, "You can keep all of these to play with when we get back!"

Bi Qiaoan was stunned. "I thought you were going to use it for experiments!"

“I don’t use those, I use these.”

Shen Yanming showed Bi Qiaoan the various leaves and roots he had put into the jade box while picking fruits and flowers. "I didn't tell you about these medicinal ones. You wouldn't remember them anyway, and it would be troublesome if you mixed them up."

As for the flowers and fruits, it doesn't matter if you don't remember them. The fruits are all good for your health, so you can eat them freely. As for the flowers, just play with them as you like; even if you eat them, it won't do you any harm.

Bi Qiaoan's lips twitched. "Knowing I can't remember, why did you still stuff this box of flowers into my hands?"

"Don't you girls all like to make your own perfumes and cosmetics? So I found some raw materials for you to research. Otherwise, you'll be lonely and bored by yourself while I'm making those prescriptions."

Of course, if you don't want to use your brain, you can leave it to me, and I'll make it for you.

Shen Yanming looked into Bi Qiaoan's eyes and said seriously, "Wife, trust your initial judgment. Your husband is a genius!"

Bi Qiaoan quickly clasped her hands to her heart and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, my husband is the most handsome man in the world! My husband is the most amazing man in the world! I am so lucky to have married him!"

Shen Yanming was amused by Bi Qiaoan's fawning manner and laughed as he pulled her forward.

Bi Qiaoan followed Shen Yanming, thinking to herself, "When I praised you as a miracle doctor before, you said I read too many novels. It hasn't been that long, and you're already showing off."

In reality, Shen Yanming is still an ordinary person who knows nothing about medicine. His so-called "all-rounder" is just an exaggeration. At most, he can only make finished products by following the production methods in the book. As for seeing a doctor, well, he has to go to Zhang Heping.

The two walked for a long time without stopping. Bi Qiaoan was getting tired and asked, "Honey, what are you looking for?"

"The centipede is the one with a silver line down the middle of its leaves, and it has small yellow flowers."

"Oh, then why are you walking in this direction? You've never been here before, how can you be sure there's Hundred-Leaf Grass in this direction?"

"I'm not sure. I saw two clover plants at the intersection just now, so I thought I'd try my luck up there."

"Okay, hopefully we can find this plant soon, or I won't be able to walk any further."

"Then I'll carry you on my back?"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "No way, you're carrying so much stuff, it must be tiring!"

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have the strength to carry my wife."

"Then save your energy. If you still can't find it in an hour, then you can carry me on your back!"

"Okay, no problem."

The two walked and talked, and finally, after forty minutes, they saw a large patch of centella asiatica, which they estimated to be more than ten acres.

Bi Qiaoan excitedly pointed at the clover and said to Shen Yanming, "You're so lucky!"

Shen Yanming was also very happy, but he still shook his head with feigned regret, "I'm not happy because I didn't get to carry my wife on my back!"

Bi Qiaoan chuckled and patted Shen Yanming's two large backpacks, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

After putting down his and Bi Qiaoan's hiking backpacks, Shen Yanming was not in a hurry at all. He first set up the tent he had brought, and then took out two wide-mouth plastic bottles from the backpacks, handing one of them to Bi Qiaoan.

"The centella asiatica with silver lines on its leaves has a seed pod after the flowers fall. The green ones are not yet mature. Look for the withered yellow ones that are slightly cracked. Collect the seeds from the seed pods into a bottle."

"These clover plants have leaves with golden lines. After they bloom, they'll produce tiny golden berries, about the size of a fingernail. You can pick some to eat!"

Bi Qiaoan was stunned after hearing this. "There are two kinds? Why?"

Shen Yanming explained, "The two types of centella asiatica grow together, but the silver-hearted centella asiatica is what we're looking for this time."
