Chapter 172

"Oh, so it is." The two children whispered.

"That's interesting. Where did you see that?" Asked the cloud.

"Since you decided to come here some time ago, I found some information about Shennongjia on the Internet. I haven't seen much. This herb is quite famous. I just saw it. " Fang zhe explained.

"Oh, is there any other interesting story?" Cloud and the two children are interested.

"Yes, there are. There are also several kinds of herbs with similar stories. I'll look for it. You wait. " Fang zhe turned to get the herbs he had collected around him.

"Here, look at this." Fang zhe came over with a kind of herb like lotus leaf. He saw a round leaf with a single stem, shaped like a small bowl with serrated edges and small white flowers. Yun knows that this herb is called "a bowl of water by the river". But I don't know the allusion cloud.

We look at Fang zhe together. With a cough, Fang tells us the legend of this herb.

"It's said that once, when Shennong was collecting medicine at the edge of the cliff, the stone under his feet loosened and fell down the deep ditch with a crash. When he came to his senses, he felt painful and thirsty. He wanted to drink some water, but he couldn't move.

After a long time, he struggled to get up and climbed to the edge of a ditch. The water in the ditch was turbid, and the rotten grass and leaves gave off a bad smell. Shennong sighed. The water can't be drunk. What should I do?

In the twinkling of an eye, but see the ditch side grow a few like lotus leaf herbs. He climbed over and looked like a lotus leaf with bright dew in it. Shennong quickly took ye'er and drank it clean. Suddenly, he felt that the pain on his body was much lighter and recovered.

Shennong was overjoyed. He carefully tasted the lotus leaf shaped herb with small white flowers, and the wound healed immediately. So Shennong picked the herb that saved his life and named it "a bowl of water by the river". At the same time, it also recorded its functions of dispersing blood stasis and activating blood circulation, stopping bleeding and relieving pain, and treating traumatic injuries. "

"Oh, it's so interesting. Anything else? Any more? " The two children listened happily and hoped that their father would tell some more stories.

"No, I haven't found any more herbs with legends. I'll tell you when I find them. Let's play." Fang zhe waved.

As soon as there was no story to listen to, the two children ran out to play. Clouds lying on the grass, smell around the faint smell of herbs, feel here is really treasure.

There are so many medicinal materials here. Yunduo and fangzhe picked almost all the old ones they saw, but they left some seedlings for each one. After all, they can't do anything too well. However, for those animals that are very precious or strange to see, the clouds never let go.

Here, Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis pilosula, angelica are the most common herbs, but the clouds have not let go, have collected a lot of space.

"Wife, come here and see what I found." Fang zhe called in the distance.

"Coming." The cloud follows the sound and finds Fang Zhe in a forest. The cloud rushes over“ What do you want me to do? I'm busy there. " Asked the cloud.

"Wife, come and see what I found." Fang zhe drags the clouds into this small forest. It's on the other side of the valley, on the outside. The clouds didn't notice.

"What, ah, this is yew?" When the clouds saw the patches of Taxus in front of them, they could not help tongue tied. This is not to say that there is something strange about seeing Taxus, but the age of these Taxus trees, which seems a little scary.

As we all know, the growth of Taxus is very slow. Generally, it takes about 100 to 150 years for a tree to grow. Here, the diameter of the thinnest Taxus is more than 50 cm. The tree has beautiful posture, strong trunk, luxuriant branches and leaves, vigorous and straight, beautiful color, lush, full of vitality. Look at the tallest tree in the whole forest. The clouds are eight or nine stories high by visual inspection. Look at the thickness of the tree. The clouds are about five to six meters in diameter.

Fang zhe was excited to see this and called cloud to come. Fang zhe couldn't get rid of such a tree, so he asked cloud to help.

"My husband, this tree has been more than 2000 years. It's enough to eat and drink for several lives just to put it outside." The clouds speak to each other.

"Well, it's true. Why are the yew trees so old here?"

"Fool, I don't understand. When no one comes to the place, it's natural to grow as long as you want. Besides, you see, the tree is so hard that other animals don't hesitate to harm it."

"Hey, hey, that's true. Otherwise, how could it be cheaper for us?"

"Husband, don't daydream. Hurry up and dig. I think we'll still destroy some roots. This tree is so old, and its roots must be very deep. If we dig them all out, it's hard."

"Well, yes, but it doesn't matter. You don't have the living water. There's no problem in the space. You must live." Fang zhe reminds a way.

"That's what I think, but this tree will suffer a bit. OK, no nonsense. Let's start." Yunduo takes out a big shovel and starts to dig with Fang Zhe.

Even if the cultivation is successful, the cloud is sweating until it reaches the forehead. Finally, after digging five meters deep, it finishes decisively. Then the cloud quickly takes this precious guy, who can be called the yew king, into space. Then two people fell to the ground, "husband, this is really not the work of people, ah, this Taxus we dig a few less on the line, ah, too tired."

"Well, I don't want to dig any more. Who thought it would be so hard. However, this tree is hard to dig. After all, its root system is too deep. The others shouldn't be so difficult. Why don't we choose smaller ones? " Fang zhe wiped the sweat on his head and suggested.

"It's OK, just dig small ones. Otherwise, it's too much to eat. Besides, I don't have to dig a lot of them. I've collected a lot of precious tree species. They don't need a lot of each. They will automatically reproduce in the space. If it wasn't for the fact that this tree is too precious, I wouldn't want to dig it. " Cloud agreed.

"OK, I'll listen to my wife. I'll do whatever my wife says." Fang zhe joked.

"Here, have some water." The cloud handed over a cup of spirit water, and Fang zhe took it. After drinking it, he felt his physical strength recovered a lot.

The cloud took out an apple again, and gnawed it "click, click". Looking around, the ground was covered with rotten leaves, and there were many mushrooms under some trees. The cloud's eyes lit up. Good thing, I haven't picked fresh wild mushrooms for a long time.

"Husband, you'll dig for yourself later. I'll pick some mushrooms here." Fang zhe said there was no problem, so they began to divide the work（ It's not finished yet.
