Chapter 104 Ten-year-old Angelica, found by Xiaobai


Chapter 104 Ten Years Old Angelica, found by Xiaobai

"Wangwangwang, ow~"

Some childish howls echoed in the forest, attracting everyone's attention.

"What is it calling? Did you find something?" Liang Qian asked curiously.

Liang Chao also looked over and saw that the little guy was shouting in a decent manner, which made him feel even more cute.

Zhang Hao did not answer, but looked at Xiao Bai quietly.

Logically speaking, if [Mountain Calling Dog] barks in the mountains, it means that it has discovered something, or felt something.

Generally speaking, either the approach of mountain spirits and wild monsters is discovered, or the mountain spirits are discovered.

But he was carrying the thunder calamity wooden hammer, and ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters could not get close to these people. Could it be that Xiaobai discovered the mountain spirit?

He paused, his eyes still looking at Xiao Bai, never moving.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Xiaobai opening his snow-white paws, walking step by step in the direction of the howl, staggering over.

As I walked, I kept sniffing the air and the ground.

Zhang Hao also raised his steps and followed Xiao Bai, walking very slowly.

"What did this puppy find?" Liang Chao couldn't help but joked.

"Shh." Zhang Hao made a silent gesture.

Liang Chao immediately shut his mouth, said no more, and followed behind with curiosity on his face, especially Liang Qian, with her hands behind her back and her almond-shaped eyes resting on Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai walked very slowly, and would stop from time to time, sniffing with his nose, as if to identify the direction and identify the smell of what happened to him.

The group of people also followed its footsteps and walked slowly forward.

Zhang Hao was not in a hurry and just followed, because it was the first time he brought Xiaobai to the mountain. No matter what Xiaobai discovered or any abnormal behavior Xiaobai had, as long as it did not endanger Xiaobai's life or could make Xiaobai He would not intervene even if he was seriously injured.

Because this is also a step that [Mountain Calling Dog] must go through, just like a baby that has to crawl first and then walk, adapting to the world step by step, forming three views step by step, and growing into a human being.

As a [mountain-calling dog], Xiaobai is born to accompany hikers on mountain walks. It is part of training his mountain walking ability from a young age, but it is also important for Xiaobai to adapt to everything in the mountains. This will make Xiaobai become a mountain-walker. What one must go through to become a qualified [Mountain Calling Dog], everything must be done by oneself.

In this way, the group of people followed Xiaobai, the "leading dog", and kept walking forward.

Xiaobai would also turn around from time to time and call out childishly in the direction of Zhang Hao, as if he was saying "Follow me quickly" and "Don't lose me".

From the weed field, we came to the forest path, and then from the forest path to the weed field, until Xiaobai led a group of people to the depths of a dense forest.

After reaching here, Xiaobai stopped walking, but kept howling towards the front.

"Wangwangwang, ow~"

"Wangwangwang, ow~"

Everyone had been holding back their words, and after Xiao Bai stopped, they finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Brother Zhang Hao, Xiaobai discovered something, so he brought us here?" Liang Qian's eyes were full of curiosity, and she finally understood after following him.

Liang Chao followed and said: "Yes, Brother Zhang Hao, Xiaobai brought us here specially."

Liang Jianzhong leaned on crutches with both hands and did not look at the dog or Zhang Hao. Instead, he looked around, specifically staring under the trees or among the weeds, as if he was looking for something.

Zhang Hao didn't answer, nor did he want to answer the question, but walked forward on his own.

Of course he knew what Xiaobai had discovered, and he also naturally knew why Xiaobai brought them here. He even knew what Xiaobai had discovered.

At this time, he had already pulled out the knife from his waist, his eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth were gradually turning up, and he walked towards the weeds.

Arriving in front of the weed pile, Zhang Hao set his sights on a plant with white flower buds on its head hidden among the tall weeds. It was about 2 to 30 centimeters tall. Its roots were cylindrical and branched, with many fleshy fibrous roots. It is a plant that is yellow-brown, has upright stems, is green with a hint of purple, has deep grooves, is smooth and hairless, and exudes a strong aroma.

He could tell at a glance what kind of medicinal material this plant was. It was Qin Gui from Angelica sinensis! And it’s not long before Qin returns!

The reason is very simple. Generally, the height of Angelica sinensis is 40 cm to 1 meter high. The longer the year, the higher the height. However, what ordinary people don’t know is that as the age of Angelica sinensis grows longer, the height does not get higher and higher. Instead, it gradually shrinks to 40 centimeters. Generally, when the angelica is 6 or 7 years old, it will continue to shrink from about 40 centimeters again.

And if it shrinks to a distance of 20cm-30cm, it already shows that this angelica plant is more than 8 years old!

What is the concept of Angelica that is at least 8 years old? It can be said that if it is placed on the market, it will definitely cause a lot of people to snatch it.

Because it is so rare, especially in today's era when most medicinal materials must be cultivated to ensure a balance between supply and demand, an 8-year-old wild angelica plant is simply a treasure!

The market price is estimated to be at least 50,000 yuan, and the older the vintage, the higher the value. Zhang Hao suppressed his excitement, held a knife in his hand, and carefully cleared away all the weeds around the angelica plant. Then he squatted down and used the knife to lift up the soil around the angelica little by little. He dug very deep. Be careful and cautious.

Angelica sinensis, which has rhizomes and is at least 8 years old, is hard to imagine how complex and terrifying the root system buried in the soil is.

Using a knife to dig out a rough outline, Zhang Hao carefully picked up the surrounding soil with his hands. When he saw the root connected to the stem, which is the main part of Angelica sinensis that can be used as medicine, his pupils shrank.

The root thickness was beyond his imagination. This angelica plant... was probably more than 8 years old!

Zhang Hao dug harder, his heart beating faster and faster, and he even subconsciously held his breath and dug without giving up everything.

Liang Jianzhong watched with a cane, his eyes slightly squinted, and his expression trembled slightly.

"Grandpa, is Brother Zhang Hao digging for something?" Liang Qian asked with her lips pursed.

Liang Chao put his feet up and tried to see what he was doing, but due to Zhang Hao's shadow, he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only mutter: "What kind of treasure is he digging for?"

"Yes." Liang Jianzhong nodded heavily. His intuition told him that the thing Zhang Hao discovered might be unusual. Maybe it was some kind of precious medicinal material? Or maybe it's something unusual, because Zhang Hao's state is indeed different from before.

After standing there and watching for a while, Zhang Hao seemed to reach down with his hand, and his body was drawn deeper. Then, he seemed to be gently pulling something.

Then, Zhang Hao's figure was restored, and there must be something in his hand. He just turned his back to them.

"Brother Zhang, what medicinal materials did you dig up?" Liang Jianzhong still couldn't hold back and asked.

Siblings Liang Qian and Liang Chao looked around.

Zhang Hao slowly stood up and turned around. His face was full of joy, and his hands were holding a rhizome spread out so widely that it was almost half the size of Zhang Hao's body.

"F*ck!" Liang Chao exclaimed subconsciously: "What is this? It's so big!"

Liang Qian's red lips parted slightly and her apricot eyes widened.

Liang Jianzhong squinted his eyes. After seeing the plant dug out by Zhang Hao, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his pupils retracted little by little and then enlarged. He pointed at the plant with a trembling voice and asked, "Brother Zhang, This, is this angelica? ”

Zhang Hao nodded: "Mr. Liang is right, it is indeed an angelica plant."

"This...this is really Angelica." Liang Jianzhong's face was full of surprise, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

It's not that he doesn't know the medicinal materials, on the contrary, he knows the medicinal materials relatively well. In order to be able to treat hidden diseases, he has come into contact with many medicinal materials over the years. Although he is not able to prepare medicines or be a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is important for him to identify medicinal materials. It's still a piece of cake.

However, when he saw the angelica that Zhang Hao was holding in his hands, he was still stunned, because this angelica plant was indeed very big, the kind that was rarely seen in the market!

That's why he didn't dare to confirm that it was an angelica plant just now.

Liang Jianzhong's throat was crawling, and his raised hand was trembling slightly: "Brother Zhang, according to your judgment, how old is this angelica plant?"

"Nearly ten years!" Zhang Hao thought for a moment and expressed his judgment.

"Ten years..." Liang Jianzhong muttered this time and nodded suddenly.

Liang Qian didn't know why and asked: "Grandpa, is this medicinal material rare?"

Liang Jianzhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "If it is a ten-year-old wild angelica, the market price is at least hundreds of thousands, and nearly two hundred thousand!"

Liang Qian nodded thoughtfully. She was not very sensitive to the figures of hundreds of thousands and two hundred thousand, because the money was just her pocket money for one month or two months. She couldn't even buy a bag from her mother. .

Liang Chao also had no idea and was a little confused, but looking at his grandfather's expression, he felt confused.

"Brother Zhang, can you sell me this angelica plant? In this case, 250,000... no, 300,000!" Liang Jianzhong spoke decisively without hesitation.

Money is just a number to him. What he values ​​​​is this angelica plant, and he also wants to consolidate the relationship between him and Zhang Hao through this matter.

However, Zhang Hao shook his head: "Mr. Liang, I will not sell this angelica plant."

Angelica sinensis has the functions of replenishing blood and blood, moistening dryness and smoothing the intestines, breaking scabs and regenerating new ones, relieving pain and regulating menstruation. It can be used to regulate and strengthen Li Siyu's body. Now Li Siyu is not recovering from a serious illness, but after conditioning his body through [Dipsacus], Just need Angelica to replenish it.

Now Li Siyu's health seems to be fine, he can work in the fields, and he no longer coughs. However, [Dipsipata Decoction] only treats the symptoms and cannot eradicate the root cause of the disease.

To put it simply, it seems that Li Siyu is in good health now, but what only Zhang Hao knows is that Li Siyu is still not in good health. Various diseases will appear over time. Over time, she still cannot escape the end of death.

Therefore, from now on, he needs to use various medicinal materials to help Li Siyu regulate her body until her hidden physical illness is completely cured.

Moreover, some parts of this angelica plant that cannot be used as medicine can also be used as food for Xiaobai.

Let alone 300,000, even if Liang Jianzhong offered 3 million, he would not sell it.
