Chapter 377 The Story of the Gourd - The Monkey Repays the Gratitude
Xianju Baitaxiaye Village is where the Ye family lives. There is a young man in the village named Ye Dimin, who is a filial son. Herb collecting is a profession inherited by the Ye family. A cowhide rope, an iron claw, an iron ring, and a
A medicine hoe plus a back is all the property of a medicine farmer collecting medicines. His father accidentally fell off while collecting medicines on a rock climb and broke a leg. He could only lie in bed, unable to do heavy work, let alone
He said he had gone to the mountains to collect medicine. The burden of the family suddenly fell on him.
Collecting herbs was too dangerous, and his father didn’t want him to follow in his footsteps. However, if he was just farming, he couldn’t even afford the cost of self-treatment of his legs. This is just like what the snake catcher said, choosing this profession
Although it is a last resort, he can get a relatively rich reward despite the danger. Therefore, after farm work, he makes a living by collecting herbs in the mountains. Expensive medicinal materials often grow in deep mountains and old forests, so he climbs mountains, wades in rivers, climbs rocks and climbs trees.
He is familiar with all the skills, and his level is no worse than that of the old hunter. Especially in rock climbing skills, he is better than the old hunter. Since they make a living by collecting medicine, the father and son of course also know some medicine and herbal medicine.
The medicinal properties of the medicine, when the villagers have a headache or a fever, they will ask him for some home remedies. The villagers do not charge any medical fees. The villagers are polite and give them some eggs, rice, meat and other daily necessities.
The above is the barefoot doctor in the village. Although the broken leg was put back, the trouble is that the internal organs are also injured, and some precious medicinal materials are needed. Most of these medicines grow in the virgin forest, and they are difficult to obtain on weekdays. The price of the medicine is relatively high, and the leaves
The locals wanted to borrow some money from the drug store and wait until their father recovered from his illness, then go into the mountains to collect it and return it to him, but the drug store owner refused: "I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. I either take money or other medicines in exchange."
.”
Moreover, the purchase price of other medicines was 10% lower than usual because he knew that Ye Dimin was in urgent need of money for his father's injury.
"Making Medicine"
An old medicine farmer, Yibei Lou,
Go deep into the mountains and into dense forests.
Not afraid of wind and rain, busy preparing medicine,
Just for the sake of having rice and salt at home.
Suddenly he was injured and broke his leg,
There is no cure but sorrow.
Renqing Leng Pharmacy does not take credit,
The world is colder than severe winter.
It was simply taking advantage of the situation, and it was in vain that the father and son sold him so many herbs at low prices on weekdays. He was angry and his father's illness was cured. He entrusted his father to his neighbors and went into the mountains to collect herbs alone.
Precious medicinal materials often grow in extremely remote places and are not easy to find. It is early autumn, when the weather is still warm and various fruits are ripe. There is no shortage of food when looking for it in the mountains. In this way, Yedi people are in the primeval forest.
After wandering around for several days, he finally found the necessary medicines such as myrrh, angelica, clematis, and Chonglou. But there was a Chinese medicine called Panax notoginseng that he could not find. In this way, he kept going to the original place.
Walking deep into the forest. One day, when he was tired and resting by a mountain spring, a group of monkeys suddenly came, chirping and jumping around him, as if they had something urgent to ask of him. Humans don't understand animal language, so he couldn't understand this group of monkeys.
What the monkey is talking about is just anxiety.
When it came to monkeys, the guests became interested and said: "A month ago, I went to the Three Gorges for a trip, and I encountered a large group of monkeys surrounding me. I thought they were begging me for food, so I took the snacks in my bag.
I took them all out, but they didn’t even look at them. Instead, they pointed at my phone and screamed and jumped. I picked up my phone and took a short video of them. After watching it, they bared their teeth and cracked their mouths, which looked very much like mine.
My little nephew who loves stinking beauty, this means asking me to post it online, and they will become internet celebrities."
In autumn, when lotus roots were just on the market, a villager dug out a basket from the pond. Passing by the door of the B&B, a guest stopped him and asked for a piece to try. Eating lotus roots in autumn has a good effect on weight loss. The villagers dug crispy lotus roots and made cold dishes.
It was very refreshing. Jin Huabin bought a few kilograms from him and made a cold dish for him. A beautiful woman picked up a piece with chopsticks and tasted it carefully, showing her teeth. Jin Huabin wrote a poem locally and sent it to the customer.
in the crowd.
"Drunken Zhongtian·Cold Lotus Root"
Lotus root is crispy and refreshing in autumn. It is said to be the most delicious. Thinly sliced with water to remove starch and boiled for a while. Rice vinegar, salt and green onions, oyster sauce and garlic moss, open cherry mouth with fine teeth like a shell.
Everyone looked at her and laughed. The beauty was shy and covered her mouth and said: "Why are you staring at me? Listen to the story. What happened to the monkey you just talked about?"
"I just mentioned that the monkeys became anxious when they saw that he couldn't understand the monkey language, and one after another showed their white teeth to him." Jin Huabin said with a smile: "The monkeys have small mouths with small teeth, as fine as shells, but they are as fine as shells.
It's as yellow as if you haven't brushed your teeth in a lifetime."
"If you brush your teeth, they will be as white as you." The guest teased her and said, "They will also be as skinny as you."
After joking for a while, Jin Huabin continued the story: "An old monkey stood up, which seemed to be the head of the group of monkeys. He squeaked at him a few times and then walked forward. His movements seemed to be leading the way.
Upon seeing this, Ye Dimin followed him forward and walked about two miles until they came to a valley. Under a big tree, there was a monkey lying with blood flowing all over the ground. It turned out that they were asking him to save him.
of companions.
He checked and found that in addition to the wound, there were two small tooth marks on the monkey's hand, which were the fang marks of poisonous snakes. It turned out that the monkey fell from the tree after being bitten by a poisonous snake. He happened to have a heavy wound on his hand.
Louqiye Yijihua is the best medicine for treating snake bites. So, he stretched out his mouth to suck out the venom from the monkey's wound, crushed the medicine and applied it. After a while, the injured female monkey woke up, and the monkey king
The young man squeaked a few times, climbed into the cave, and came out of the cave after a while, holding a string of pearl necklaces in his mouth, as if he wanted to give him a life-saving diagnosis. Ye Dimin thought about this string of pearls.
The price of pearls is high, and I just don't have enough money to treat my father's illness. Taking it to the city can solve my urgent need, so I thanked Brother Monkey and accepted it.
"Pearl Necklace"
While making medicine, I encountered a group of monkeys,
Block the road ahead and ask for help.
There must be something strange when something goes wrong,
To follow is to be poisoned by the snake's venom.
I sucked up all the poisonous blood and hurriedly changed the dressing,
Fortunately, there is a seven-leafed flower.
Give me a necklace to repay your kindness,
Monkeys are stronger than humans in this world.
The next day, he took the pearl necklace to the pawnshop. The pawnshop owner looked at him curiously, looked at the necklace again and again, and finally gave him thirty taels of silver and asked him carefully.
Understand the origin of his necklace.
He described the monkey's repayment of kindness to the pawn shop owner. The shop owner said a few words with half-belief, and then asked for his address in detail. This was strange, as pawn shops usually don't ask about this when pawning items. However,
It was his first time entering the pawn shop, and he didn't know about the rules, and he didn't doubt him, so he answered honestly.
It was rare that he had a lot of money, so he took his money to the drugstore to buy all the medicinal materials, and also bought some meat and vegetables in the town, intending to give his father a good body. As soon as he returned home to cook the medicine, he suddenly heard the noise at the entrance of the village.
