Liu Chen started digging with homemade bamboo.

The deeper I dig, the more incredible it feels.

This Polygonum multiflorum is really quite big, and its shape is also very peculiar.

One person and one mouse dug like this for nearly two hours, mainly because the tools were not very useful.

Two hours later, the entire Polygonum multiflorum plant was finally dug out.

Liu Chen was so tired that he lay down on the ground, and Gungun also fell asleep on the ground. He dug the Polygonum multiflorum and was not in the mood to look at it for a while. He put it aside for now and will appreciate it later.

Lying quietly and looking at the sky, the blue sky seems to have been wiped spotless, with light clouds, as white as snow, like cotton candy, dotted in the sky, like a wonderful girl's dream.

Many clouds descended little by little, covering several of the highest mountain peaks, as if they were covered with snow-white gauze.

The autumn air is crisp and cool breeze is blowing. My body, which was still sweaty just now, feels much cooler now.

The smell of earth mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers comes to your nose, making people feel the beauty and comfort of nature.

After a long time like this, Liu Chen stood up and sat up. In the distance, the towering green mountains were connected one after another, green and green, overlapping each other. The strange mountains stood upright, and the mountains continued to rise, green and steep, just like the undulating waves of the sea, turbulent.

Surging, majestic and magnificent.

Under the sunlight, the mountains shine with golden light, looking extremely magnificent, like a beautiful ink painting.

The sun is gradually rising. It has been a few hours since I came out. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. I have just walked such a long way and dug Polygonum multiflorum for such a long time. Not to mention, I am really hungry now.

.

Liu Chen looked at the time. It was now past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock.

Only then did Liu Chen pick up the trophy - Polygonum multiflorum.

Because he was too tired just now, he kept digging the last few times, but he just lay down on the ground, and now he can fully appreciate it.

I saw a huge Polygonum multiflorum placed on the ground. This Polygonum multiflorum is "human-shaped", about 40 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, and weighs about 5 kilograms. This is the first time Liu Chen has seen such a large Polygonum multiflorum.

Passed.

It’s not just the size. The main reason is that the characteristics of Polygonum multiflorum are relatively special. The human body features are particularly obvious. The hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, hands, feet, and even the male reproductive organs are all clearly lifelike.

This "magic plant" is very popular with Liu Chen.

Let alone the shape. From Liu Chen's understanding, it must be at least several hundred years old. If it hadn't been in the deep mountains and old forests, and if it hadn't been brought by bamboo rats, he would never have come here.

Polygonum multiflorum, also known as purple multiflorum, night-flowering vine, etc.

Polygonum multiflorum is a perennial twining vine of the Polygonaceae family. Its roots are used as medicine, which can soothe the mind, nourish blood, activate collaterals, detoxify (cut out malaria), and eliminate carbuncle. Polygonum multiflorum can replenish essence and blood, blacken beard and hair, strengthen muscles and bones, and nourish the liver and kidneys.

, is a very valuable Chinese medicinal material.

Liu Chen knew in his heart that such a large Polygonum multiflorum, not to mention how much it would sell for in 2022, would be very effective if it were given to Master Kong Yunxiang to be made into traditional Chinese medicine.

Liu Chen touched the bamboo rat again and said with a smile: "You did a good job, little one."

Speaking of Polygonum multiflorum, Liu Chen knew about it. Master Kong Yunxiang told him a beautiful story when he took him to dig it last time.

It is said that Polygonum multiflorum is a good thing. It is said that taking it can prolong life.

It is said that there was a frail young man named Tian'er. Because he was often sick, he came to the temple by chance and accepted a Taoist priest as his teacher to strengthen his body. From then on, he had a drink with his friends, drank a few drinks, and became drunk.

On the roadside, I woke up and found a very strange plant on the roadside, so I dug it out. Later I asked someone for advice and said that this plant was a traditional Chinese medicine and could be eaten.

The root was dried and ground into powder, and he took it every day. After taking it for a period of time, Tian'er felt stronger and stronger, and his chronic illness healed on his own. Later, he passed it on to his grandson Polygonum multiflorum. When Polygonum multiflorum was 130 years old, his hair was still not white.

It was as black and shiny as a young man. Later, the neighbors were curious, so he showed the strange-shaped root to the villagers. An old man named the medicine He Shouwu after him.

The legends are all beautiful, so Liu Chen naturally doesn't believe them, but this also shows the great medicinal value of Polygonum multiflorum.

Liu Chen looked at Gungun and laughed again and again. Although he was soaked this time, exhausted and out of breath, and his legs and stomach were sore, the goods received were still quite big. He actually got such a big Polygonum multiflorum, which was enough.

.

Gungun screamed, and Liu Chen quickly placed the Polygonum multiflorum gently on the ground. This good thing must not be damaged.

Liu Chen took off the cocklebur seeds bit by bit from Guan Gun's body. This thing sticks to people and animals and is very difficult to remove.

Liu Chen moved it gently bit by bit, but Gungun was still grunting in pain.

When he came out, he saw that it was covered all over his body. He was going to suffer if he went to Gungun like this. Liu Chen simply took out a Damascus knife and prepared to cut off the cocklebur seeds on Gungun's body.

When Gungun saw Liu Chen take out the knife, he panicked and kept mumbling, as if to say, "Master, you can't do this. You must not cross the river and burn the bridge. It is impossible to repay kindness with hatred."

Gungun hurriedly ran forward. A few cocklebur seeds were nothing, it was still more important to save his life, so he ran forward quickly.

Liu Chen seemed to understand Gun Gun's worry, why was he such a person? He couldn't do anything like burning bridges across rivers.

Now that I've said it, how big is this bamboo rat? It can also help me find Chinese medicine. Maybe I can still find it in the future.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be sold for money. It is also good to consume it yourself. You know the value of this traditional Chinese medicine.

"Oh, why are you running? I'll remove the cocklebur seeds from your body. Don't run." Liu Chen picked up the Polygonum multiflorum on the ground and followed behind.

He was no match for the bamboo rat. After a short effort, the bamboo rat disappeared.

When Liu Chen saw the bamboo rat disappearing, he shouted quickly: "Come back here, I don't know the way. What should I do if I get lost in this deep mountain and forest?"

Liu Chen stood on tiptoe and looked at Gungun, but he didn't see the shadow. This little thing ran quite fast.

There was no other way, Liu Chen could only walk along the path he had just walked.

The weather in the mountains and forests is unpredictable.

The sky was clear just now, but now it will slowly become foggy.

Liu Chen became a little worried. It was not possible for anyone to go out on this sunny day. If it fogged up, he would definitely be trapped in the mountains.

Liu Chen muttered, "It's not fun for this little guy to abandon himself like this."

As soon as Liu Chen finished speaking, he saw Gungun squawking at Liu Chen's feet.

Liu Chen took a closer look and laughed: "If you still have a conscience, you still know how to come back to pick me up."

Gungun was in front, Liu Chen followed closely behind.

Maybe it was because he didn't know what was ahead of him when he came, but he was very happy when he went back. Liu Chen obviously felt much better this time.

Soon we left the mountain and arrived at Zhuangzikou.

"Oh, Uncle Chen, where have you been? Accountant Liu and the others are going crazy looking for you." Liu Dameng looked at Liu Chen and said.

"Uncle Chen, why are you carrying someone? What is that thing of yours?"

"Wild Polygonum multiflorum in human form."

"Polygonum multiflorum?"

Liu Dameng was shocked. Although he and his uncle Liu Jiangang had dug up Polygonum multiflorum, they had never seen this human-like Polygonum multiflorum before.

"Where did you get it?"

"Digged from the mountain."

"If I dig this for you, can you still fulfill my wish?"

I was shocked when I came out. This thing usually grows wild in the mountains. Where is the mountain? It is not a place where children can go casually.

"You asked me to bring you the little book, I brought it to you. Go get it when you have time, but you'd better go less often to the mountain. Have you forgotten the scene where your butt was swollen last time?" Liu Chen stared at it.

Liu Dameng said.

"Hehe, okay, I'd better trap the hare and leave the pheasant to you."

"That's pretty much it."

"Uncle, where are you?"

Liu Chen vaguely heard his nephew and niece calling him.

Liu Chen hurried back, not wanting to make his family anxious. He really forgot to tell his family when he came out.

I didn’t even ride a motorcycle, so everyone must know that I didn’t go to the commune health center, so it’s normal to be worried.

Hey, Liu Chen patted himself, it was all his fault, he should have said something when he left.

Although Wu Yiyi knew it, she was a three-year-old baby and could not speak clearly, so it was a bit far-fetched for her to tell her family.

I guess it would have been better if Wu Yiyi didn't say anything. He said he went into the mountains with the bamboo rats, but he was even more worried.

There are a lot of things in the mountains in this era, ranging from snakes, ants, spiders and wasps, to wild boars, black bears, and even prince-headed ones.

No matter which one of these offends him, it's not fun, and it's enough for Liu Chen to drink a pot.

When Liu Jiefang got up, he saw Liu Chen exercising at the door, so he didn't take it seriously.

Later I saw him holding a sickle, saying he was going to cut grass to feed the sika deer, but it was the same thing.

Later I saw Wu Yiyi following him, but he didn't take it seriously.

Finally, Wu Yiyi and the sika deer came back, but Liu Chen went into the mountains with the big bamboo rat.

This is not bad, Liu Jiefang only remembered that Liu Chen only held a sickle in his hand, but nothing else.

If he encounters any large animal, will Liu Chen come back alive?

The last time he encountered a black bear, he had Pili and a she-wolf to help him. Now Liu Chen only brought a small bamboo rat with him, which was quite worrying.

"Peony milk, Peony milk, your uncle Chen is back." Gou Sheng happily ran to Liu Chen's house.

Liu Chen left but didn't know that Liu Jiefang had already gone to find Captain Liu. Captain Liu was about to tell everyone to leave work and find Liu Chen.

Wang Mudan had already taken several of her daughters and son-in-law to other mountains to look for Liu Chen.
