Seeing the deep color and toughness of the seedling leaves, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but he was certain that this must be an old ginseng that was at least twenty years old, and probably more...

Carefully using a bamboo gun to pick out this wild ginseng from the gap, looking at this old wild ginseng, a row of information quickly and inexplicably flashed in my mind: "Judgment: One wild ginseng in the 41st year."

...The main body is intact, with a small amount of damage to the roots. It is of medium to high quality..."

"Forty years..." Jiang Yuan was extremely surprised. This old ginseng turned out to be an extremely rare forty-year-old ginseng. He was also lucky. If this old ginseng hadn't grown in the cracks of the stone, it would have been so secretive.

It was definitely not my turn to pick it; I really made a lot of money this time. The medicinal effect of this old ginseng is at least as good as three or four 20-year-old ginseng, and the medicinal effect is even more powerful and long-lasting.

This will naturally have a better effect on old Uncle Li's recovery from his illness.

At that moment, Jiang Yuan quickly and carefully picked two wild taro leaves from the mountain stream, wrapped the old ginseng, and then hurried down the mountain excitedly.

When he got home after going down the mountain, the old man was chatting with Xiao Yu in the yard. They both couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the pile of wild animals on Jiang Yuan's shoulders.

"Xiao Yuan...are you going up the mountain to collect herbs or hunt..." The old man smiled and stepped forward to help Jiang Yuan take the bunch of prey on his shoulders and put it on the well platform.

Xiao Nizi on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes when looking at this string of prey. Although she knew that there were many wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests behind the village, she could often see the hunters in the village carrying their guns and going up the mountain.

Normally, we can hunt down two or three wild animals, but Brother Xiaoyuan obviously didn’t see him with a gun. Why did he hunt down so many prey?

Jiang Yuan laughed dryly and said: "I happened to bump into him, so I called him back..."

While carrying these prey and putting them on the well platform, the old man asked: "There are a lot of prey, but have you collected the medicine? The most important thing is, have you collected the old wild ginseng? Your Uncle Li has been coughing badly these days. If not,

I can only make do with white ginseng and take two doses of medicine first!"

Following the old man's words, Xiaoyu on the side also looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly. She knew that brother Xiaoyuan went up the mountain early in the morning to collect medicine for his father. Grandpa Ming had said that as long as suitable medicine could be collected,

, prepare a few medicines and take them, and dad’s condition will be greatly improved.

Looking at the hopeful look in Xiao Nizi's eyes, Jiang Yuan took the medicine basket off his back and said with a smile: "I got it, at least enough for five or six doses."

"Ah...really, Brother Yuan, you are so amazing!" After hearing this, Xiao Nizi's worried expression immediately disappeared, and her beautiful big eyes smiled like little crescent moons.

, looks extremely cute.

"Really?" The old man was surprised when he heard Jiang Yuan's words. Jiang Yuan collected enough for five or six doses of medicine at one time? This must be great luck. You know, wild Panax notoginseng is easy to find.

But old wild ginseng is extremely difficult to find. After all, this is not the Changbai Mountain. Moreover, the price of old wild ginseng has been rising steadily in recent years, and more and more herb collectors are going up the mountain aiming at this thing.

As a result, there are less and less wild ginseng in some years.

Today's herb collectors are extremely lucky to be able to find one or two old wild ginseng in one trip to the mountain. In many cases, it is common to go up the mountain seven or eight times and not be able to find one, even if a local picks one or two.

It is also possible to hide the treasure or sell it for a good price; this is also the reason why Lao Li's old injuries in the past two years can only be slowly nursed back to health, because there are simply not so many old wild ginsengs to use as the main medicine.

"Let me see...is it old enough?" The old man believed that his grandson would not lie, but he was afraid that some old wild ginseng would be mistaken for old wild ginseng. You must know that this old wild ginseng is not that easy to touch.

obtained.

However, Xiao Nizi had no doubts about Jiang Yuan's words. Although Xiao Yuan's brother was only two or three years older than her, he was handsome and very responsible. It was really cool to see him save people that day.

Opening the bamboo basket covered with a pile of leaves in Jiangyuan, he uncovered a bunch of wild Panax notoginseng and four guys wrapped tightly with large leaves;

The old man didn't care much about Ye Sanqi. He could always find this thing if he spent some time, and Jiang Yuan would never admit his mistake. But looking at the four tightly wrapped, the old man's heart trembled again.

Is it possible that we really found four old ginseng trees?

He carefully took out one, and then opened the wrapping leaves, revealing a wild ginseng covered with white beards inside; the old man's ginseng was thin and large, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, long and thin, with lines, and full of hair.

Twenty years.

The old man suppressed the joy in his heart and carefully opened the other two leaf packages one by one. The more he looked at it, the happier he became, especially the last one wrapped in taro leaves. He estimated that it was almost forty years old.

He slapped his thigh suddenly and said excitedly: "Okay, now that we have this 40-year-old ginseng, as long as we add a few more 20-year-old ginseng, Lao Li can recuperate for two months at most, so that he can recover as before!"

"

"Ah... is it true? Grandpa Ming, can my dad really be cured this time?" Xiao Nizi, who had always been quiet on the side, almost jumped for joy when she heard what the old man said.

Looking at the excited little girl, the old man nodded and said with a smile: "Your dad is lucky, huh... With this forty-year-old ginseng as an introduction and these twenty-year-old ginseng, these

The medicine is enough for him for half a month. Let your brother Xiaoyuan go up the mountain a few more times tomorrow. As long as we can find a few more old ginseng sticks like today, drinking it for two months will be enough for your dad to fully recover!"

After saying that, the old man carefully carried Jiang Yuan's medicine basket, stood up and said: "Okay... Xiao Yuan, you just take care of these wild animals first, and then bring two back to Xiao Yu. I'll take them back first."

Treat these old ginseng branches, but don’t let them lose their medicinal properties..."

"Hey...Okay...Grandpa, go ahead and leave this wild thing to me!" Seeing the happy expressions of the old man and Xiao Nizi, Jiang Yuan deeply felt that his trip to the mountain was really worth it, and he hurriedly agreed.

Well, dealing with wild animals is much easier for him than cooking old ginseng.

Xiao Nizi on the side could not help but run back to tell her father the good news, but seeing Brother Yuan trying to pack so much game alone, she looked at Jiang Yuan again, and finally blushed and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Yuan...can I help you boil water?"

"Ah...hey...ok, remember to boil it a little, be careful not to burn it..." It's a good thing to have someone to help, and as the saying goes, men and women are not tired when they work together, with such a beautiful and cute little girl to help

Jiang Yuan also felt that it was much better to do things alone than to work alone.

Xiao Nizi went inside to boil water, and Jiang Yuan began to deal with the hares that did not need to be plucked. This time he shot a total of three hares and two pheasants, except for the two pheasants that needed to be plucked with boiling water.

, it is not necessary to deal with hares.

So, he picked up a kitchen knife from the kitchen and started to disembowel and skin the three rabbits neatly. By the time Xiao Nizi boiled a pot of water from the kitchen, Jiang Yuan had already cleaned the three rabbits.

Cleaned.

Seeing Xiao Nizi boiling a bucket of boiling water so quickly, Jiang Yuan's eyes felt a little more warmth. It seems that this Xiao Nizi has been here a lot in the past two years.

The kitchen is all so familiar;

He quickly walked over, took the bucket in her hand and said with a smile, "Come on... I'll lift it, don't burn it!"

Jiang Yuan placed the bucket on the well platform, then casually threw the two pheasants into the bucket. Then he looked at the innocent and beautiful little girl beside him, and suddenly his heart darkened, and a somewhat similar figure appeared in front of his eyes.

, this figure would appear in his dreams from time to time in the past few years, and now he still deeply remembers that beautiful face, and the look of panic on that face when he rushed out to save people.

But the sadness in his heart just flashed by, and then he looked at Xiao Nizi and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu... you are in college now, right?"

"Well...I am now a freshman at Dongyuan University!" Xiao Nizi replied shyly with her long eyelashes slightly lowered.

"Dongyuan University?" The name made Jiang Yuan slightly distracted. After letting out a breath, he smiled and said: "Dongyuan University is not bad. The Department of Clinical Medicine, Department of Civil Engineering and Department of Broadcasting Art are among the best in the country.

of..."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Xiao Nizi was slightly surprised. Then she looked up at Jiang Yuan with bright eyes and said, "Brother Yuan, do you know so much about Dongyuan University?"

"Of course I know..." Jiang Yuan deeply hid the astringent feeling in his heart, and then smiled: "Dongyuan University is the most famous university in Chunan. Of course I know, Xiaoyu, which department did you go to?

?”

"Of course it's the Department of Clinical Medicine..." Xiao Nizi slightly pouted her cute pink lips, with a glimmer of light on her face, and said in a somewhat sacred voice: "My father has not been cured since he was injured. He is often in pain. If

If I hadn’t met Grandpa Ming, I still couldn’t get out of bed, so I decided at that time to go to medical university and become a good doctor like Grandpa Ming in the future!”

Seeing the somewhat divine look on Xiao Nizi's face, Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Well... work hard, I believe you will be a good doctor in the future!"

After chatting casually for a while, Jiang Yuan saw that the two pheasants were almost blanched, then he reached out and picked one up and started to pluck it.

Xiao Nizi next to her saw that there seemed to be nothing she could do to help. She was anxious to go back and tell her father the good news, and said: "Brother Yuan... I'm going back first. My father knows that you collected it for him."

Medicine, you must be very happy..."

"Xiao Yu, wait a minute..." Jiang Yuan neatly cut open the plucked pheasant with a knife, dug out the internal organs, and then rinsed it under the faucet. Then he picked up a cleaned hare and handed it to him.

Gai Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Take it back and make some soup for Uncle Li..."
