Chapter 38 Searching for Medicinal Herbs



The shocking live stream attracted 30,000 viewers.

"Is this for real? The streamer's knowledge is beyond human comprehension; he knows everything, like a supercomputer."

However, some people think that Li Sheng is just showing off. Although there are many medicinal herbs in the wild, it is difficult to find the ones that can truly match the symptoms. Even if you find them right in front of you, you may not recognize them.

Some medicinal herbs are poisonous; if used correctly, they can be life-saving medicines, but if used incorrectly, they can be deadly poisons. Different herbs have different properties and cannot be combined with each other. The prescription of Chinese medicine may seem casual, but it is actually very particular.

However, traditional Chinese medicine has long been outdated. Western medicine is fast-acting and convenient, which is more in line with the fast-paced development of this era. Therefore, Western medicine has become the mainstream of the times, and traditional Chinese medicine has no successors and has been gradually forgotten by society. Perhaps there are still a few masters in the folk, but without medical licenses, their skills will only be lost in the exhaust fumes of cars.

Li lost his parents at a young age and relied on his grandfather for survival. His grandfather knew some Chinese medicine. The family was poor, and when he was sick as a child, his grandfather would go up the mountain to find medicine and brew it for him.

He would also occasionally brew some dog skin plaster to sell to others to supplement his family's income.

It was all bought by my grandfather's generation. Later, one by one, my grandfather's friends left this world, and my grandfather's business got worse and worse. Until he was sixteen years old, when he was in school, my grandfather was buried in the collapsed mud house and left him.

That was all in the past. Since then, he has been all alone, supporting himself and studying by relying on government subsidies and part-time jobs.

What seemed difficult to others was not his own. Apart from being a little lonely, he had a good memory and comprehension, and he easily got first place in the provincial exam and was recommended for university. He also had an easy job, tutoring all subjects one-on-one during holidays and after school, and still had time to learn some hobbies. His salary was not inferior to that of adults who worked long hours.

He accepted his grandfather's death with equanimity. After all, everyone experiences birth, aging, illness, and death. His grandfather lived to be over ninety years old, surpassing 99% of the elderly. He was healthy before his death and died peacefully.

The police said that he was hit directly on the head by the beam in an instant, and there was no time to even feel pain. In his opinion, it was a blessing.

Grandpa said before he died that it was a blessing. If he had lived that long, he would have been paralyzed in bed, needing to be taken care of, and even eating would have been difficult. That would have been worse than death.

His grandfather lived a good life and died a good death. He knew his grandson was capable of making money and had no financial pressure, so he believed he would also die a good death.

Li Sheng's face was flushed red, and for some reason, he started thinking about things from so far back in time.

Not long after entering the forest, he immediately found medicine that could clear heat and reduce fever.

I walked up to a few unremarkable little plants, picked them up by the roots, and put them into my basket.

"You probably can't guess what this is, but you've all definitely taken Xiaochaihu granules. These plants are Bupleurum, which has the effect of relieving exterior symptoms and reducing fever."

Live broadcast room.

"I never would have guessed that Bupleurum would look like this."

"The streamer really knows something. No normal person would recognize this thing as Bupleurum chinense."

"The Wild King's Dad's Classroom is in session!"

"Listen carefully, and the rebellious spirit has been completely eradicated."

"Is the host going to demonstrate the live preparation of Xiaochaihu granules today?"

Li Sheng used the axe as a walking stick and continued walking forward. Ahead, he saw a tree full of flowers, which was also a good thing.

Live broadcast room.

"I recognize this. I often buy it to make tea in the summer to cool off."

"The best gift for Valentine's Day is a packet of gold and silver flowers. Roses, peonies, and lilies are not as good as this. It has both gold and silver, is practical, and most importantly, it's affordable."

"Honeysuckle can also be boiled in water to reduce fever. The anchor is really clever."

Many of the plants that can be found everywhere in the wild can reduce fever, including honeysuckle, dandelion, and chrysanthemum. Li Sheng picked some of them all.

"This should be enough. Put them all together, boil them in water, and drink the decoction. It should be quite effective. Crushing dandelion and applying it to the wound can also inhibit bacteria and reduce inflammation."

As they walked forward, they found a patch of purslane in a damp spot ahead, which was also a good find.

Before Li Sheng even picked the fruit, the viewers in the live stream started showing off their knowledge. Li Sheng has now attracted a group of outdoor enthusiasts, so they have a certain understanding of outdoor knowledge.

"I know, this is purslane, a wild vegetable that tastes very good."

"Yes, it's very juicy, and it's not hard to eat even raw."

"Is the host going to pick it and cook it in broth? It would taste really good if you cooked it in bone broth."

"It's also good to make it cold."

"Haha, finally something I recognize! When I was little, my grandma used to make this for me in the countryside, but I've long forgotten what it tasted like."

However, Li Sheng treated it as a medicinal herb. He had plenty of food now and wouldn't care about such a small amount of wild vegetable unless it had sufficient medicinal value.

This purslane has it.

"No! It can be eaten, but there is no shortage of food now. Its more important function is to be crushed together with dandelion and applied to wounds to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. It can also be applied all over the body to have a significant effect on mosquito bites."

This is something that no one has ever heard of before. It's normal for one person not to know, but it's surprising that none of the more than 30,000 people in the live stream knew about it.

This is not convincing and raises questions among the public.

Meanwhile, a fellow competitor infiltrated Li Sheng's live stream. He was also doing a survival live stream and was doing quite well, with a professional team filming him and over a million followers.

However, these days he often sees people comparing him to someone named Li Sheng in the live stream chat, and some people questioning his authenticity, which has caused him to lose a lot of viewers.

This kind of thing is scripted from the start. If he didn't fake it, would he really go to the wilderness to die? He even rented several hilltops in the countryside for filming to make his live stream more entertaining. He wasn't very enthusiastic about sending gifts, but he was number one at stirring up trouble. He's just a bunch of brainless fans.

He came here specifically to watch Li Sheng's live stream. The acting was quite realistic, and the makeup artist did a good job with the wounds. However, he wasn't there to support him; he was there to get back at Li Sheng.

Wang Yao was certain that this was just Li Sheng talking nonsense.

Mountain King (Wang Yao): "Purslane is just an ordinary wild vegetable. Are you kidding me? Even nonsense needs some basis."

Wang Yao has a certain status in this circle. It is said that he has completed a three-month wilderness challenge before, and he often shoots videos and releases wilderness survival videos and some extreme challenge videos on online platforms. He has also received funding from Red Bull. He has his own professional team to operate, and he has appeared on several variety shows, leading popular young male celebrities to complete wilderness challenges.

Everyone immediately recognized who it was: a big streamer with millions of followers and a little-known streamer with just tens of thousands of followers. The spotlight would definitely shift quickly.

Criticism followed immediately.
