According to the Zhao family medical classics, the cultivation conditions for psychedelic grass are very demanding, requiring a clear, moonlit environment for survival. Simply put, this grass is quite delicate, requiring a well-ventilated location and frequent exposure to moonlight. That's right, moonlight, not sunlight. Moonlight is Yin, while sunlight is Yang. Psychedelic grass is also Yin. Exposing it to direct sunlight for even two hours will absolutely kill it.
Psychedelic grass grows very slowly, only growing half an inch in a year. The psychedelic grass in Zhao Qingshan's hand was clearly over 15 centimeters tall.
What does fifteen centimeters mean? Zhao Qingshan did some calculations in his mind and concluded that the psychedelic grass in the valley was over ten years old.
If these psychedelic herbs weren't wild, then this meant someone had planted them in that small valley ten years ago. And what did this mean? Without Zhao Qingshan's explanation, Ren Dahai and the regiment's political commissar, Xiao Jianguo, immediately changed their expressions.
The small valley is not far from Kyoto City, only more than 100 kilometers away. If Zhou Zhixin's camp training had not included the task of collecting wild plant specimens, the secret of this valley would not have been discovered so quickly.
The people who entered the small valley that day were all trained and determined warriors. After being drugged, the sound of gunfire and the smell of blood stimulated their senses, weakening the hallucinogenic effects of the hallucinogenic grass and making them sober up.
According to Zhao Heizi, he saw himself on a battlefield, surrounded by enemy troops, and so he picked up his weapon and began firing. The accounts of the other team members were similar to Zhao Heizi's: they either encountered wild beasts or were on the battlefield, which led to the internecine slaughter.
The matter finally came to an end. Zhao Qingshan suggested that he wanted to go to the valley to see if there really was a large area of psychedelic grass. After all, psychedelic grass was a rare medicinal herb.
Everything in the world has its pros and cons, and the same is true for psychedelic herb. Unprocessed psychedelic herb, its sap evaporating into a hallucinogen, is a potent remedy for neurological disorders. As for what specific ailments it can treat? Ren Dahai and Xiao Jianguo, lacking medical expertise, naturally didn't ask.
Ren Dahai asked Xiao Gao to drive the jeep and prepared to go with Zhao Qingshan himself.
Zhou Yuanyuan clung tightly to the corner of Zhao Qingshan's shirt, winking at him. Whatever Xiaoyu wanted, Zhou Yuanyuan naturally had to help her get it. Seeing that Zhao Qingshan was going to the valley for an on-site inspection, Zhou Yuanyuan had to shamelessly follow him. Otherwise, running hundreds of kilometers on her small body would be a bit tiring.
After Zhou Yuanyuan successfully got on the jeep, Ren Dahai looked at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Ren Dahai knew Zhao Qingshan wasn't a lunatic, but bringing a child with him to the valley to investigate seemed a bit strange. However, Zhao Qingshan still had to solve the problem of the hallucinogenic grass, so Ren Dahai decided to turn a blind eye and ignore Zhou Yuanyuan, who seemed a bit out of place sitting between them.
Zhou Zhixin also went along, this time acting as a guide. The small valley was discovered by one of Zhou Zhixin's soldiers, and Zhou Zhixin had personally entered the valley to rescue the injured Zhao Heizi and his men. Having someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way was much better than just wandering around blindly.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew two pairs of eyes were constantly scanning her, but she didn't pay much attention. Frankly, if Xiaoyu hadn't insisted on seeing the hallucinogenic weed today, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't have wanted to go with Ren Dahai. Ren Dahai was too cunning, and Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want him to discover her "abnormality."
Zhou Yuanyuan closed her eyes, letting the "qi" in her body flow slowly, and began to practice. The journey was over a hundred kilometers, and even if Xiao Gao drove at his fastest, it would take over an hour to reach the destination. Zhou Yuanyuan decided not to waste this time.
Looking at Zhou Yuanyuan's "sleeping" face, Zhou Zhixin felt a little conflicted. He felt that his father-in-law often indulged Zhou Yuanyuan too much. They went out to work, not to have fun. Zhou Zhixin didn't understand why Zhao Qingshan brought Yuanyuan with him?
However, Zhou Zhixin wasn't stupid. He was still within Zhao Yunxiang's "probation period"! He wouldn't be so foolish as to upset his father-in-law, lest "Queen Yunxiang" take her anger out on him when she got home. If it weren't for this little grass, Zhao Yunxiang might have run away from home for Li Hongmei.
In fact, the most important thing was Zhou Zhixin's guilt towards Zhao Yunxiang and her son. Ever since he learned about the humiliation and suffering Zhao Yunxiang and her son had endured in the Zhou family, Zhou Zhixin had always felt an indescribable sense of guilt towards his wife and children. This guilt would inexplicably surface when Zhou Zhixin was disciplining the children, making him reluctant to be too harsh with them.
However, Yuanyuan had changed dramatically in the past six months. If Zhou Zhixin hadn't spent half that time watching his little girl grow up, he might not have recognized the beautiful girl in front of him as the timid little girl from a year ago. Zhou Jiasheng was the same. Every morning after running 50 kilometers, he would practice a set of boxing before resting. His ferocity was so fierce that even Zhou Zhixin was shocked.
Thinking of his two well-behaved children, who were unlike their age, Zhou Zhixin sighed deeply. It was all his fault as a father, that he hadn't been a good enough father. He hadn't been able to protect them when they needed him, which was why the children had to learn to work hard at such a young age.
Ren Dahai sat in the front seat, silent, yet a surge of excitement surged. This was his first encounter with Zhao Qingshan, and he couldn't help but be captivated by his charm. Seeing Zhao Qingshan chatting eloquently with the psychedelic herb, Ren Dahai sensed a certain generosity in him. Family-inherited medical skills, family-inherited medical canon—it seemed like this Uncle Zhao was something special!
By the way, I heard from Zhixin that his father-in-law is a doctor at Renhe Hospital. Can Zhao Qingshan help him with his mother's illness? Ren Dahai thought secretly.
Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhou Yuanyuan practicing, a gratified smile flashing across his face. No wonder Mu Xiazi chose Xiaojiu as his successor. Xiaojiu was so calm and composed at such a young age, truly unlike any other child.
Along the way, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and no one spoke a word. The jeep was speeding along, and after more than an hour, it arrived at the small valley.
When Zhou Zhixin led the battalion back to the base, he left two platoons of soldiers stationed outside the valley.
Seeing the jeep, a young soldier guarding the valley came up and saluted, shouting, "Hello, Commander!"
Ren Dahai was the head of the Guards Regiment, and his jeep was a familiar sight to all the soldiers. Seeing their leader arrive in person, the soldiers were thrilled.
