Shao Xuan followed the old man along the mountain. If he saw a plant he needed, the old man would go up and pick it up.
A low brown grass was cut by the old man, the tree that grew in a spiral shape was stripped of its skin, and there were some flowers that Shao Xuan had never seen before, and the old man also picked the flowers.
"You want to..." Shao Xuan asked when he saw the old man's movements.
"Put down those voles!" The old man's tone was chilling. For those plants that were suspected to be "thousand grains of gold", he was determined to win, and would never let those voles eat the grain ears.
"Poison them?" Shao Xuan asked. There are also a lot of wild mice. If you want to poison those wild mice, even if you use herbal medicine, the amount is very large, unless you use special medicine.
However, the old man didn't want to poison the wild rats directly.
"They are useful to stay in this barren mountain. If there are thousands of grains of gold in the future, maybe they will be found by them. You can't poison them all. I just want to poison them now." The old man's hands are full Now, although there is not much grass growing in each place on the mountain, and there is less to pick, but in order to be in a hurry, the old man has a fast pace, and he also knows by heart the places where some needed plants may grow, just for a while. , the hands are full.
"I'll take it, you can continue." Shao Xuan took the concentrated grass from the old man's hand.
The old man didn't insist either, and when he handed the thing to Shao Xuan, he warned: "Be careful, don't touch the cut, it will be bad if the grass juice gets on it. Don't get close to smell it, if you pour it first, I can't do it. Put all those wild rats down."
The pace of the two quickened, and the movements of the wild mice showed that the ears of grain on the top of the mountain were soon to be fully mature, and they had to hurry up.
Following the old man along the way, Shao Xuan also learned a lot. May be available later.
The mountains that seem to be full of shrubs and wild grasses, for people like Laoju, are actually treasures, waste or treasure, it depends on the person. Some plants may not have much ability to be separated separately, but together they are different. What the old man wants to configure is a kind of medicine that is mixed from various plants.
"Okay, that's all."
The old man put one on the spot and started to dig out things to prepare.
A small copper cauldron and a few odd-shaped knives can handle all these.
"Shao Xuan, go to the bottom of the mountain and look for it. Get some more 'one-line worries'. Look for those who have opened a small mouth, don't want to open their mouths, and don't want to have their mouths fully opened." The old man did not look up. Shao Xuan said that he was so busy that he had no time to leave, and he couldn't match Shao Xuan's speed.
"Okay." Shao Xuan didn't say much, he knew what kind of plant the old man was talking about, and the old man taught him to recognize it on the way.
Shao Xuan remembered that most of the plants like "One Line Sorrow" grow in the valley between the two mountains.
"One Line of Sorrow" is a shrub that is not taller than Shao Xuan's waist. This is the name that Old Man Ju himself gave to this shrub.
Running down the mountain, Shao Xuan looked around and saw a "One Line of Sorrow".
The so-called "one line of sorrow" is because when the fruit of this shrub is about to mature, a line will appear on the fruit with a hard shell, and then as the fruit matures, the line will crack, and the wind will blow the sun. Sun, the fruit that has already split a line will be dried until only a small core is left, and when the time is ripe, the fruit that has split a crack will be completely opened, and the core inside will be sprayed. come out.
Shao Xuan tried it once and was hit by the core of the fruit.
Generally, after the fruit of this plant is cracked, there will be no other beasts around. In the old man's words, "I am worried when I see the lines on those fruits. Don't get close, and you will be shot if you get close."
If it is picked improperly, it will also stimulate the fruit that splits a line to shoot the core ahead of time. Therefore, the old man also demonstrated twice when talking to Shao Xuan, telling him how to correctly pick the "line of sorrow".
Compared with the previous two days, there are more and more fruits with lines and cracks on the first-line sorrow tree, but I don't know which ones are needed by the old man. Some cracks are still shallow and may not meet the requirements of the old man.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan directly chopped off the branches with denser fruit and took them away. After looking for more than ten trees in a row and cutting off many branches with fruit, Shao Xuan went up the mountain.
The old man said that the wild mice on the mountain were waiting for the moment when the ear of grain was really mature, and when the ear of grain was the most perfect moment, the wild mice could get what they wanted most from it, even if it was too early. Maybe the bigger voles at the front of the voles group grew into that after eating a thousand grains of gold. Why don't you cook it yourself after you get it
While thinking about it, Shao Xuan went up the mountain with a single line of sad branches that he cut down.
When Shao Xuan arrived, the old man had already lit the fire, and the various grasses beside him had already been treated almost, and there was some pungent smell wafting out of the copper tripod.
"Stay away." The old man waved to Shao Xuan and told Shao Xuan to put things down and avoid it. After all, Shao Xuan didn't have his detoxification physique, so he was afraid that Shao Xuan would fall down if he heard too much.
Shao Xuan felt a little dizzy when he smelled the smell just now, so he moved his feet and stood ten meters away from Xiaoding in the upper wind.
The fire was burning vigorously, and the copper cauldron continued to emit water vapor. The old man squatted beside him and stared at it, his eyes never leaving the cauldron, and he kept stirring it with a knife.
"All right!"
The old man shouted excitedly, put out the fire, picked up the branch that Shao Xuan brought, and quickly picked the fruit that echoed his request, then held the fruit in one hand, and the other hand picked up two strange-looking With a knife, scrape out some powder from the small tripod, and pour the powder into the gap opened by the fruit.
Each fruit is just as big as a quail egg, and the gaps in the fruit are even narrower, but the old man can use the two strange knives to pour the powder into it with only one hand holding the knife, and the leakage of powder is very small.
No wonder there are so many strange knives, originally used for these.
After filling, the old man still covered the gap with a thin layer of almost transparent leaf skin, so as not to let the fine powder inside leak out.
With quick movements, he filled all the picked fruits with medicine and sealed the leaf skin. The old man picked up the last fruit with the least medicine and looked around.
Not far away, there was a small bird pecking at the insects on the ground, aiming at the target, the old man flicked his finger, and the fruit shot straight over there, hitting the ground with a "click" sound, the fruit was completely opened, and the fruit inside was The nucleus is ejected, along with the powder filled inside.
Shao Xuan saw that the bird fluttered its wings twice, it seemed to want to fly, but after shaking its wings twice, it fell.
"How?" The old man looked at Shao Xuan with a look of pride. Obviously, very satisfied with what he made himself.
Shao Xuan looked at the bird that fell to the ground and didn't move, and then looked at the empty shell that was completely opened, and said sincerely, "It's really an artifact!"
