??Chapter 119 Discover Gastrodia elata
In the dense forest, I saw a lot of old and precious medicinal materials. At the beginning, Yang Lan'er picked them up when she saw them, but then she gradually became numb. She only dug and threw them into the bamboo basket when she saw that she didn't have enough space. Xianggong shifted into the space without paying attention.
?? "Be careful!" Yang Lan'er drew out her dagger and swung it swiftly, cutting off a fake snake lying on the trunk of a big tree beside her.
??Tan Anjun was taken aback. He almost hit it just now, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Yang Lan'er picked the snake's head with a short sword. The triangular snake's head indicated that it was a poisonous snake. After three or two strokes, the snake's gallbladder came out, and he put it in a small bamboo tube, took out a small porcelain bottle, and pried open the snake's mouth with a sword. Get the venom out.
?? "There is too little venom." Yang Lan'er said regretfully.
?? "Lan'er, what kind of snake is this? It's attached to the trunk of the tree, almost melting into the bark." Tan Anjun asked with lingering fear.
??The depths of this mountain are full of murderous intentions every step of the way, it seems that I have to be careful.
"A banded snake that is good at camouflage. This kind of snake is highly poisonous. Being bitten by this snake will cause people's blood to coagulate. This snake also has another name-quick killer." Yang Lan'er pulled the two parts of the snake apart, frowning Said: "We should proceed more cautiously in the future."
?? Tan Anjun nodded.
?? "Master, look here is full of Gastrodia elata!" Yang Lan'er was overjoyed and pointed to the plant on the left front.
??The whole area in front of my eyes is full of yellow, gray-brown, and orange-yellow inflorescences, which are densely packed.
?? Gastrodia elata itself is a precious traditional Chinese medicine, tuber: sweet, flat, calming the liver and quenching wind, relieving convulsions, often used for headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs, convulsions in children, epileptic convulsions, and seven-day wind. In the previous life, it was basically artificially cultivated, and it was the first time she had seen such a large field of wild Gastrodia elata.
?? It is even worse in this era, and it is even rarer to rely entirely on wild animals.
?? "Oh, this plant is Gastrodia elata? Why is there no leaves?" Tan Anjun had only seen the finished tubers of Gastrodia elata, and was very surprised when he saw the plant for the first time.
?? Let her explain how Gastrodia elata does not photosynthesize, so there are no leaves.
?? "Gastrodia elata has no roots and no leaves. It likes to grow in a shady broad-leaved forest. It is best if there are many rotten leaves on the ground."
??Tan Anjun looked at a large area in front of him, at least two acres in size, two hours away from a line of sky, "Lady, do you want to dig now or come back?"
??Yang Lan'er scratched her head and felt helpless, this is the inconvenience of bringing a cheap husband. If she was alone, she would directly dig it into the space.
??Take out a small medicine **** from the bamboo basket, dig two carefully, and look at the brownish-yellow tubers with a little transparency in their hands, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.
?? "Remember this, come back and dig again." Yang Lan'er reluctantly glanced at the field of Gastrodia elata.
??Tan Anjun had no objection to this, and looked at his little wife's sore face amusedly, "Okay, there are few people here, these gastrodia elata will not run away here, and we can't carry them back after digging them now."
??Yang Lan'er took a deep look at the inflorescence, as if what she meant, she nodded, "Well, let's go."
??It was almost noon, Tan Anjun hunted some pheasants, the two found a water source, and prepared to bury a pot for cooking.
??Yang Lan'er watched Xianggong process the pheasant downstream.
??She picked up a pile of firewood nearby, took out a crock pot from the bamboo basket, washed it in the stream, filled half the pot of water and put it on the temporary stove built with three stones.
?? Then he lit a fire next to it, and when the fire was hot, he took a few and stuffed them under the crock.
?? Tan Anjun finished handling the pheasant, and the water in the crock was almost boiling.
??Took a pheasant from the hand of the cheap man, and used the cleaned dagger to 'swipe' a few times, like peeling tofu, and peeled the pheasant into the crock.
