Chapter 160 157: Rehmannia glutinosa

Everyone at the station was worried about what would happen on the road.

Wang Tianxiao asked Wu Qiancai and their wives, and found out that Wu Jianye had a very bad reputation in the village. He just liked to take advantage and often engaged in deception and abduction.

It's just that Wu Wenhua spends a lot of time working outside, so he doesn't know much about the specific situation.

Hearing this, Wang Tianxiao felt bad in his heart.

I guess something happened to that mule.

Sure enough, when he went out to search on his motorcycle, he saw Wu Wenhua squatting on the roadside wiping tears on the mountainside. On the mountain road next to him, the mule was already dead.

Seeing Wang Tianxiao coming over, Wu Wenhua stood up with a face full of shame. He slapped himself hard several times in one breath, and then said depressedly:

"Boss, it's all me who's stupid. You clearly reminded me that there's something wrong with this mule. I just thought that they were all my brothers anyway, so I didn't think too much about it. Now it's better. I bought a sick mule, and I was beaten by that dog.

The Japanese Wu Jianye was deceived."

Wang Tianxiao parked his motorcycle on the side, got off the car and touched the mule's body. It was still warm, but it was no longer breathing. It was really too dead to die.

"Boss, I bought the sick mule. I will compensate you. You will deduct it from my money every month until the mule money is deducted." Wu Wenhua said nervously next to him.

Wang Tianxiao waved his hand, "Brother Wenhua, go back and call someone to come and take this mule back to the station."

"Take it back to the station. If this sick mule has any infectious disease, it won't be good if you take it back."

Wang Tianxiao nodded, "Just take it back and put it on the mountain ridge. I have other uses for it. Today's things are both your responsibility and my carelessness. We will see how to allocate responsibilities after the matter is settled."

You go back and call someone first, I'll go down the mountain to ask about something and then come back."

"Oh well."

Wu Wenhua's mind was filled with guilt now, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned around and went back up.

Wang Tianxiao observed the mule for a while, opened the mule's mouth and smelled it, and found that there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the mouth. He pinched his nose and looked at the mule's feces excreted due to pain, and found the same smell inside.

It seems that the mule must have been seriously ill to begin with, but in order to temporarily recover its energy, something was temporarily fed to the mule. Under the stimulation of the drug, the mule managed to survive for more than half a day, but it was basically killing the goose and taking out the eggs.

The mule was so desperate that it died suddenly before it even made it back to the mountain.

Wang Tianxiao was very familiar with the taste of the medicine. He must have taken similar Chinese medicine before, but he didn't know what it was, so he planned to go back to the village and ask Rui Menxuan next time. The barefoot doctor mainly sells traditional Chinese medicine, which is common.

Chinese medicine must be able to distinguish it quickly.

He carefully collected some of the mule's excrement and put it away.

After waiting for a while, Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai came with Li Guanping. Everyone looked very unhappy when they saw the mule on the ground.

Especially the brothers Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai were speechless when they thought that Wu Jianye was their cousin and actually sold a sick mule to the boss under their introduction.

Wang Tianxiao noticed the change in the expressions of the two people and comforted him with a smile: "Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom. This incident is a lesson for all of us. Not only you, I also need to learn from the experience. So.

Don’t be too ashamed, it’s not too late to make amends.”

"But boss, this is a mule. It costs several hundred yuan..."

"If that doesn't work, let's go back to the village to find his wife..." Wu Qiancai mumbled next to him.

"What's the use? You don't know that his wife is a shrew. She is more difficult to deal with than Jianye... than Wu Jianye. Besides, Wu Jianye has been doing this kind of thing outside for a long time, giving birth to a son without an asshole, and the family members are not necessarily

Know."

"Hey!" Wu Qiancai poked his brother and said angrily: "You shouldn't be more careful. Look at the trouble this has caused. If it's a little thing, it's okay, but this is a mule."

"I, alas, I'm just an idiot and a coward! I'm still too easy to get along with. I just thought that he was from the same family as us and that he was our close cousin. Who would have thought that the deceiver would actually trick us?

Wait. Wait until I meet him next time and see if I don't break his legs. Grandma, you are really shameless."

"At this point, it's useless to talk about it. You can take the mule back, and I'll find someone. Let's study it carefully at night to find out what this thing is."

Wang Tianxiao didn't criticize Wu Wenhua much.

Wu Wenhua was at fault in this matter, and he was also careless. Moreover, he clearly noticed that the mule's body was shaking, but still did not persist. He was also at great fault.

After saying goodbye to a few people, he rode his motorcycle straight to the village health center.

Rui Menhuan just finished his work and cooked some noodles and was eating it. When he saw Wang Tianxiao coming in, he asked in surprise: "Tianxiao, why are you here? Aren't you in the mountains?"

Wang Tianxiao looked at the noodles he put on the table and said with a smile: "There is something I want to show you."

"What?"

"You want to eat noodles, but I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to eat noodles after seeing this."

Rui Menhuan smiled and said, "Okay, just wait for me."

He was just eating the pickles, one bite of vegetables and one bite of noodles. Seeing Wang Tianxiao waiting here, he was too embarrassed to continue eating slowly. He picked up the rice bowl and quickly put the noodles into his mouth.

This is how northerners eat noodles.

Many times when people in the north eat noodles, it seems that the noodles are not chewed by the teeth, but simply cut off with the throat and swallowed into the stomach.

If you really want them to eat a bowl of noodles regardless of their image, it can be done in just a few seconds or twenty.

"Wait a moment while I bring the things in."

Rui Menhuan took the plate and empty bowl to the back hall. When he came out, he took two masks. He threw one to Wang Tianxiao and took the other one himself.

"Take it out."

"You know what I'm about to show you doesn't smell good?"

"It goes without saying. Otherwise, why would you let me finish my meal? It probably doesn't look good and smells bad."

"clever."

Wang Tianxiao said, handing the excrement originally wrapped in plastic film to Rui Menxuan.

"Look, let me just say it's not a good thing."

Rui Menhuan took the thing in disgust, opened it slightly, glanced at it, and immediately closed it, with a surprised expression on his face.

"What kind of dung are you talking about, a cow? A donkey, or a mule?"

"It's a mule."

"Why would anyone feed this stuff to a mule? Don't they know that the mule won't be able to hold on and will die suddenly if it takes too much?"

Wang Tianxiao looked at Rui Menxuan curiously, "Menxuan, so you know what this smells like?"

"Of course, isn't this Rehmannia glutinosa?"

"Rehmannia glutinosa?"

"Yes, this is proper Rehmannia glutinosa, and it's not the high-quality Rehmannia glutinosa. It probably grew by a stream or in a dark place. The taste of Rehmannia glutinosa is a bit off."

Wang Tianxiao nodded.

Speaking of Rehmannia glutinosa, of course he knew what it was.

In later generations, Rehmannia glutinosa was made into a series of very famous medicines. Because it has a good effect on nourishing yin and replenishing yang, it is widely used by people.

This is what people often call Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

Liuwei means that wine cornus, yam, peony bark, poria, and Alisma are added to it. These are all very good medicines for the body.

Of course, there are also the legendary twelve flavors, sixteen flavors, thirty-six flavors, sixty-four flavors, etc. These have not been made into patent medicines, but they can still be seen in some ancient books.

Rehmannia glutinosa mainly grows at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. Ziwuling just meets this growth condition, so there are many wild rehmannia glutinosa waiting for people to pick in the mountains.

Because Yangziling is close to the east and the seaside is relatively low, the quality of the rehmannia glutinosa is not very good and the quantity is relatively small.

The really good rehmannia glutinosa are all in the west.

However, in the west, there are many groundweeds and all kinds of ferocious beasts, so most people would not dare to go there.

Maybe, not a few of the medicines were picked, but the humans were picked by wild beasts.

After coming back to his senses, he pointed to the thing in Rui Menhuan's hand and asked him, "Tell me, what will happen if livestock eats Rehmannia glutinosa?"

"It's hard to say, and it's not necessarily true."

Rui Menhuan hesitated slightly and continued: "There are actually three types of Rehmannia glutinosa, and different Rehmannia glutinosa have different effects after taking them. If it is fresh Rehmannia glutinosa, it can be used to clear away heat, and it will basically not have much impact on these livestock, but now

This season, there is a high probability that there will be no fresh rehmannia glutinosa."

"After peeling off the fresh rehmannia, there are two types: dried rehmannia and cooked rehmannia. As the name suggests, dried rehmannia is just about drying the fresh rehmannia until it is 80% dry. The cooked rehmannia is similar to the dried rehmannia, but some alcohol is added for processing.

I just smelled the stuff you brought, and it didn’t smell of alcohol at all, so I most likely guessed that it was dried rehmannia glutinosa. Why, what kind of feces was it, and what happened to make you come back in such a big way?

ask me."

Wang Tianxiao told Rui Menxuan about his purchase of mules. Rui Menxuan suddenly realized after hearing this.

"Let's just say, people who raise livestock basically know these basic common sense. When they go out to herd their animals, they have to be careful that they eat rehmannia glutinosa. How come there are still people who specially give dried rehmannia glutinosa to them? It seems that they just want to

Let the mule temporarily recover its strength, wait until it deceives you, and then hasten its death."
