Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 292 Fire Girl

How can I put it, if Military Advisor Xiao Zhi hadn't accidentally fallen down, he, Wang Chengzhou, might not have discovered such a hidden herb!
However, she would not say these words, but rushed forward to help excitedly.

The stream in autumn was very cold, and Wang Chengzhou was afraid that the ice would hit her, but Xu Xiaozhi got playful and refused to listen to him at all. She stretched out her white hands and carefully uprooted a calamus while playing with the water.

"Wang Xiucai, give it!"

A few drops of clear water splashed on her little face, she arched her eyebrows and smiled, so sweet and dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at her, "Hey, this is the beginning of our sincere cooperation."

"Remember, I have done my best, and I am not just following you shamelessly for fun."

"Otherwise, if I really do nothing and run around with you for a day, Si Ya will be very angry when I get back."

Okay, now we’re starting to show off…

Wang Chengzhou really couldn't do anything to her. After taking it, he cleaned off the leaves, leaving only the rhizomes, and put them in the basket.

When Acorus is used as medicine, the rhizome is used. After returning, you only need to scrape off the skin, slice it, and dry it in the sun.However, the processing methods used are slightly different for patients with different conditions.

such as:

The purpose of making rice swill or stir-frying with bran is to enhance the effect of awakening the spleen, appetizing and stopping dysentery, and "to achieve neutralization through grain qi".

Made with wine, it can enhance the circulation of qi, reduce swelling and relieve pain.Prefer to open the blood vessels and nourish the body.Highlight its role in treating rheumatic arthralgia.

Made from ginger, it can enhance the effect of dispersing dampness, promoting qi, and appetizing.

Mixing steamed mulberry branches can soften the medicinal properties and is used for patients who are tired and worried.

Therefore, the use of Chinese medicinal materials is very particular. A slight difference may lead to a huge difference in the therapeutic effect.

Others say that sometimes Chinese medicinal materials do not use the active ingredients considered by modern science, but the Qi in the medicine, which means rise, fall, and float.

A typical example is floating wheat.

Floating wheat is actually shriveled wheat, the kind that can float when sprinkled in water, but it can be used as medicine.

……

The two of them searched all the way along the stream, and within a short time they had gained a lot.

Wang Chengzhou looked at the backpack behind him and was really in trouble.

In this year and age, the mountains and forests were unexplored, and there were too many herbs. If he hadn't been determined enough to ask for nothing but calamus along the way, his backpack would have been filled with other herbs.

But even so, the two of them had to give up some particularly good-looking calamus for the time being, and had to leave some remaining energy to collect the White Poria God.

This is when Xu Xiaozhi freed up her backpack and filled it with medicinal materials.

To be honest, this girl was out of breath just walking with nothing. Wang Chengzhou really couldn't bear to ask her to help carry things.But in order to prove that he was not here for fun, Comrade Xu Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and held on, becoming very willful.

Wang Chengzhou had no choice but to hold her little hand and pull her forward step by step, fearing that she would run out of energy and fall down while walking on the mountain path.

Xiao Nizi let him hold her palm and stared at his back with a cunning expression as if her plot had succeeded.

The mountains and fields are gorgeous in autumn. When the sun rises in the sky, the entire mountain road becomes brighter.The two young men were holding hands and carrying large and small bags. For those who didn't know, they really thought they were a young couple returning home.

"Wang Xiucai, I'm hungry."

Near noon, the two finally left the stream, and Wang Chengzhou took her deeper into the forest.Halfway through, Xu Xiaozhi finally couldn't hold on any longer, pinched her waist, her pink oval face was covered with sweat, bit her lip, and stared at him pitifully.

It's definitely time for lunch.

Seeing that she was so tired, Wang Chengzhou felt a little distressed, so he took her to a clearing in the forest and gave her water and dry food.

"I don't want to eat steamed buns!"

Xu Xiaozhi pouted her little mouth and started to speak, staring at him unblinkingly with her big eyes.

"But we just brought steamed buns. If you don't want steamed buns, what do you want to eat?"

"Ahem, I want to eat those red fruits and the wild fruits that smile."

Xu Xiaozhi pursed her lips and almost laughed.

Wang Chengzhou burst out laughing. He couldn't help but poked her smooth forehead and said angrily: "Is it Yu Hua who told you again? If you want to eat dogwood and August fried rice, just say so. You can't give it to me." Act cute!"

"Isn't that cute?"

Xu Xiaozhi just bullied him for being an upright person, not daring to do anything to him, and even started acting like a baby.

Wang Chengzhou rolled his eyes at her, not wanting to continue this ambiguous topic with her, but looked around and warned:
"Then stay here and don't move. Don't leave my sight."

"I see there are wild fruits on the hillside over there. Let me pick some for you."

"Remember, don't walk away. I'll give you this Luoyang shovel. If anything happens, scream immediately."

"Screaming, right? I'm good at it!"

Xu Xiaozhi bit her red lips and finally couldn't hold back her laughter. She raised her head and her small shoulders twitched.Wang Chengzhou blushed and glared at her angrily.This damn girl, I don’t know where she learned the dirty words, and she started teasing herself.

Apparently he didn't take his warning seriously.

However, facts have also proved that the wild beasts in the mountains are not as rampant as imagined at noon.

Not long after, Wang Chengzhou came back with a pile of wild fruits.

In addition to dogwood and August fried fruits, I also brought back a bunch of small red fruits, which grow in clusters and look crystal clear, a bit like small hawthorns growing upward.

"Wow!"

Xu Xiaozhi forgot about her fatigue in an instant, jumped with excitement, and quickly took it from his arms.Moreover, she started eating it by herself without Wang Chengzhou’s introduction.

His little mouth was full, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't forget to mutter: "Humph, dogwood can nourish the kidneys, and fried in August can improve breasts. Isn't it so rare? You can eat it, and so can I. I can eat it. Wang Xiucai even fed me with his own hands!"

puff!
Wang Chengzhou took the kettle and took a sip when he heard her murmur and almost spit it out. He blinked and was speechless.

This girl... what does she remember?

Besides, when had I ever fed her with my own hands?
"Wang Xiucai, what are those clusters of red fruits? I can't spare any, please feed me a taste."

Immediately, he knew when he had fed her.Xu Xiaozhi rolled up her eyes and stared at him playfully, her pupils glowing with danger.

This girl is threatening herself...

A chill ran down Wang Chengzhou's spine, so he could only walk up to her, pick off a few, and stuff them into her open mouth with his own hands.

Xu Xiaozhi is a sinister girl!

Back then, she dared to drug Wang Zhiguo in front of all the young and old men in the village. If she went against her will, I don't know how crazy she would be to punish herself.

After a moment of distraction, his fingers accidentally touched her red lips, and a soft feeling ran through his heart like electricity, scaring him so much that he quickly retracted his hand.

Xu Xiaozhi's smile became even brighter. The cuteness and sweetness on her little face could melt people's hearts. She said nonchalantly: "Wang Xiucai, what is this called? Tell me, I will be with them when we get back." Show off in front of you.”

Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained:

"The scientific name of this fruit that grows into a ball is Pyracanthus, but people prefer to call it life-saving food, water fork or fire girl."

"Because it is an evergreen shrub that grows all year round. When it bears fruit, it hangs all over the tree. The fruit is sour and sweet, and is extremely nutritious, especially containing two essential amino acids for infants and young children."

"Due to the hard life in the early years, many hungry people went into the mountains to eat this wild fruit to satisfy their hunger. It was often able to extend their lives, so everyone called it life-saving food. As for the water fork, it is because It has a lot of juice, which not only satisfies hunger but also quenches thirst. Maybe the name Fire Girl is because she is so kind, so everyone gave it a pet name."

Xu Xiaozhi's big eyes sparkled when she heard this, but she sighed: "This fruit is really good! It's a pity that I can't be a fire girl..."

Wang Chengzhou was stunned when he heard the incomprehensible words, but the next sentence almost made him spit out, "Well, Wang Xiucai, does Miss Fire aphrodisiac?"

Wang Chengzhou opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to react, and said with a dark face:

"Although it is rumored that Pyracantha fruit can nourish the kidneys, in fact, its medicinal properties are only to eliminate accumulation and stop dysentery, promote blood circulation and stop bleeding, and even have anti-aging effects, but it cannot aphrodisiac..."

"Xiao Zhi, I have to criticize you. You are a lesbian, why are you asking this?"

"hey-hey."

Xu Xiaozhi raised her little face, smiled sweetly, and snorted: "It's not because of you!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Chengzhou's eyes widened with fright, but he didn't dare to make such a joke with her.

The two of them did have a crush on each other, and they were very similar in temperament. However, he already had Luan Hongying in his heart, so he could only regard this initial affection as a misunderstanding.

Absolutely no unreasonable thoughts.

"It's because of you!"

Xu Xiaozhi pouted, feeling very aggrieved, "Last time, those people followed you and brought back a lot of dogwood from the mountains. They said it was tonic for the liver and kidneys, yin and yang, etc., but they couldn't show off enough."

"You know, for the business of Tofu Factory, I have been helping Uncle Changsheng, and I can't get away from it at all. I am the only educated youth in the entire Wang family production team who did not join the autumn protection team. I feel unbalanced."

"You can't lie to me, saying that the fire girl can not only strengthen the penis, but also open breasts, and more importantly, it can delay aging, so that I can show off too."

Wang Chengzhou scratched his head and turned around a few times before he realized that this girl was just 17 years old...after all, she was still a little kid!
This inexplicable desire to compare is really annoying.

"Alright alright."

Wang Chengzhou sighed and could only help the rumors continue to spread, "I promise you."

"Oh, that's true of you. Our village is right next to the mountains, and there will be many opportunities to go into the mountains in the future. If you want to go, I can call you next time."

"What's the big deal? Don't worry about it."

Xu Xiaozhi's eyes immediately lit up, she nodded her head, and responded obediently, "Yeah!"
