Farmer’s Little Girl

Chapter 259: Two hundred and fifty-ninth Zhang Fuling

  Chapter 259 Zhang Fuling

Da Ya squatted down, confused, and stared at the stump for a long time. She still couldn't see a flower. She asked weakly, "Sister, what's wrong with this tree?"

  Man Bao has a serious face, "This is a pine tree."

  Da Ya looked at it, as if yes, "What about then?"

   "It was chopped off."

  Daya: "...Hmm, so?"

   "So, are there any pine stumps that have been cut down near here?"

   “Yes, I didn’t use firewood for baking rice and wheat. My father and my third uncle went up the mountain and chopped down several trees. They all seem to be pine trees.”

  This area is the village head’s house. Anyway, it’s not a good tree that can be used to make houses, beds, boxes, and so on. These pine trees are all cut casually.

  Man Bao looked around, "Where is it?"

  Daya: ...how does she know where it is? She didn't cut down the tree.

  But Da Ya thought for a while, remembering that she saw several tree stumps when she went up the mountain these past two days, but she couldn't tell which tree it was.

  Just leave him alone, just take my sister-in-law to see it.

  Da Ya is still very curious, "Sister, how did you know that it was a pine tree stump?"

  Man Bao glanced at her strangely, "I can see it, there are pine trees next to the stump, and you can see it by comparing it."

  Daya: ...she can't see it, she thinks that the stumps in the world are all the same.

  Of course, Manbao can't leave her bamboo basket, so she insists on dragging her broken bamboo basket. The key is that there are not only dead leaves, but also a lot of soil, which is very heavy.

  Daya dragged along, but she couldn't move much, so she dropped the bamboo basket and ran to find the fourth uncle on the other side.

  Thursday Lang came over happily. He picked up the bamboo basket and went down the mountain. It’s better to follow Man Bao than to follow the second and third brothers?

  Man Bao is a young man, and he never does heavy work.

  Man Bao saw that he was going down the mountain, and immediately grabbed his clothes and said: "Four brother, we are still looking for something, don't go down the mountain first."

  Thu Lang glanced at the bamboo basket. Well, it was not full enough.

  He didn't mind, he picked it up for the two of them, and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to find it."

  After turning two tree stumps, Chu Lang realized that they were not looking for dead leaves, but "roots".

  Yes, Chu Lang has seen the dark brown objects Man Bao threw in the bamboo basket. They also thought it was tree roots, but when he saw the white flower root flesh, he felt wrong.

  Where is the white inside the root of the tree?

  Thursday Lang was thinking about what it was, and Da Ya's exclamation came from over there, "Sister, I found it!"

  Man Bao immediately dropped the stump beside him and ran over to look at Da Ya.

  She saw it at a glance, and immediately stepped forward happily, "That's it, that's it."

  She didn't break out for the first time, and she almost sat on the ground.

  Thu Lang put down the bamboo basket, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "I'm coming!"

  This tree stump is not as many as the previous one, but there are not many.

  After the break, Chu Lang still smelled it and felt a fresh fragrance, so he glanced at Man Bao weirdly, "Yaomei, tell the fourth brother, is this a baby?"

  Man Bao nodded seriously, "Yes!"

   On Thursday, the boy's eyes shined brightly, and he asked brightly: "What baby is it?"

   "I'll know soon." Man Bao hugged a piece and said: "Let's go down the mountain, I'll ask Mr."

  Thursday Lang: "...So you don't know?"

"I do not know."

  Thursday Lang was unable to speak anymore, he picked up the small broken bamboo basket and said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain and go home. It's almost time for dinner, right? Have you finished your homework?"

  Thursday Lang was working in the woods today, because there were many trees in the woods, shadows were everywhere, and it was cooler, so Lao Zhoutou didn't give them time to rest at all.

   Chu Lang felt that his waist was almost unable to straighten up now.

  Man Bao accurately saw the fourth brother's idea of ​​being lazy, and hummed twice: "It's done early, I'm not you."

  Daya didn't want to go down the mountain. Many of her little friends were still in the woods. She wanted to stay and play with them. Seeing my sister-in-law had her fourth uncle with her, she immediately ran away to play.

  Man Bao didn't mind, and Chu Lang walked down the mountain.

  Man Bao did not go home directly, but ran to find her husband with the thing in his arms.

  Mr. Zhuang was drinking tea in the yard, modifying the children’s homework by the way, and seeing Man Bao running in with all his body dirty, he smiled and looked at her, "What's the matter?"

   "Sir, do you know what this is?" Man Bao showed him the pile of things in his arms.

Mr. Zhuang was slightly surprised, "Fu Ling?"

  He smiled and asked, "Where did you come from?"

  "Fu Ling?" Man Bao's eyes were sparkling, "I know, Fu Ling cream, Fu Ling cake."

  Mr. Zhuang laughed after hearing this, and said: "This is all for food, eaten at Shanbao's house?"

  Man Bao bowed his head embarrassedly, and he really ate it at Bai Shanbao's house.

  Mr. Zhuang looked at Fu Ling in her hand, and said, "Did you break this?"

  Man Bao nodded, "Some I can't move, so my fourth brother broke it."

  Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You dig along the roots of the pine tree and then dig into the ground. There should be more."

  Man Bao was surprised, "How did sir know that I found it at the root of a pine tree?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Do you know why it is called Fuling?"

  Man Bao shook his head.

"Because some people think that it is a magical thing transformed by the essence of pine trees, they call it Fuling (Fu Ling), Fu Shen or pine. There was a book by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty, "The Legend of the Immortals", which contains "Old Song Jing Qi transformed into Poria "theory." Mr. Zhuang smiled: "This Poria has three parts, and these three parts can be used as medicine."

  Mr. Zhuang pointed to the dark brown skin and said: "This is Poria skin. It helps to reduce swelling and helps the skin."

   pointed to the white flesh again: "This is Bai Fuling. The Fuling cream you mentioned is made of it. It has more uses. It can help the spleen and nourish the qi, and it can also cure insomnia and dreams."

  Mr. Zhuang has only skimmed one or two medical books, and what he knows is only superficial, and more specific, you have to look it up.

Mr. Zhuang said: "This is a medicinal material. If you want to know more, you have to ask the doctor or the people in the drugstore. However, there is still a part of the Fuling that is penetrated by the pine root, called Fu Shenmu. You probably didn't dig it out. Fushenmu is also a kind of medicine."

  "What can be cured?" Man Bao asked quickly.

  Mr. Zhuang smiled and shook his head, “I don’t know how to be a teacher, I’m a teacher, not a doctor.”

   "Then wait until I know, I will tell sir."

  Mr. Zhuang responded with a smile, "Okay, waiting for you to tell me as a teacher."

  Mr. Zhuang took a look at the time and waved his hand: "Go back, or the family should be looking for you in a hurry."

  Man Bao responded, hugged Fu Ling and ran home.

  At home, Lao Zhou was holding the dark-brown thing and looking at it. He didn't see what it was for a long time. He felt that the fourth child was playing him, so he dropped it and asked, "Can this thing be a treasure?"

  As soon as Man Bao ran back, he saw her father throw her things on the ground, and immediately shouted: "Father, this is Fuling!"
