[039] Returning with a reward
After setting off again, Xiao Feng and others did not go deep into the rare old forests of Qingling Mountain, but just wandered around, picking wild fruits and digging some medicinal materials.
Qingling Mountain is ready to enter autumn at the end of August. Although most of the deciduous forests have not yet begun to turn yellow, the wild fruits all over the mountains are gradually ripe, which is simply a wild fruit expo.
There are extremely rare wild fruits in the market such as jujubes, raspberries, prickly pears, etc., and nuts such as chestnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. are also everywhere, which allows Xiao Feng and others to relive their childhood happiness.
When I was a child, the children in rural areas had no entertainment, and they were not sent to various cram school all day like the children in the city today. They spent most of their time playing in the forest at the foot of Qingling Mountain. For them, this forest was their paradise.
In the forest, there are all kinds of delicious and fun, and Xiao Feng’s best memories of childhood are left here.
If it were the past, Xiao Feng, who was under work pressure, would not be able to enjoy the pleasure of his life as he is now. Now he is truly enjoying the touching nature brings to him.
After a while, Xiao Feng's backpack was occupied by various fresh wild fruits, and some supplies had to be transferred to Xiao Qiang's backpack. Fortunately, they were all strong young people, so it was not too difficult.
Although she was carrying the heaviest basket on her back, Xiao Feng was extremely relaxed and did not feel tired at all.
If it were Xiao Feng a month ago, although he had good physical fitness, he would not be able to compare with a strong man like Xiao Dazhi who has been doing physical labor all year round. However, now both sides have lost each other.
Nothing else, after discovering the Qi-Induction Method in Zizhu Space, Xiao Feng spent a lot of effort to translate the difficult classical Chinese texts, and carefully identified various meridians, acupoints and true qi running lines on the Qi-Induction Method with the help of the Chinese medical classics collected by the family.
Half a month ago, Xiao Feng began to try to practice the Qi-Induction Art, wanting to see what the effect of this technique, known as the basic scripture of cultivation, has?
Perhaps because Xiao Feng has good qualifications, it is more likely because of the existence of the purple bamboo space. Xiao Feng only spent a lot of days to find the sense of qi, and he was able to complete the Great Circle once in a week. In half a month, the true qi in Xiao Feng's body has developed from the thickness of the silk thread to the size of a toothpick now, and has progressed rapidly.
The biggest effect of urging qi into the body is reflected in Xiao Feng's physical strength, physical fitness and reaction speed. According to Xiao Feng's estimate, his various physical data will be at least 50% higher than before.
For anyone, having a healthy body that is superior to others is an irresistible temptation.
The effect of the Qi-Induction Technique is so obvious that it has stimulated Xiao Feng's enthusiasm. Now he basically goes into the Zizhu space every night to practice for two hours, and finally returns to the bedroom to sleep happily.
With the help of the Qi-Induction Technique, Xiao Feng's physical fitness is now comparable to that of the country and athletes. It is no problem to deal with a basket of wild fruits.
In addition to picking wild fruits, Xiao Feng also carefully observed his feet, looked for traces of medicinal materials such as Shunzhe, and prepared to dig some back and give medicine to the old man.
The Xiao family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and naturally has some ancient recipes and folk remedies in their hands. In the years of practice, it has played a very significant therapeutic effect and has also made the Xiao family famous in the townships. Among the many folk remedies and secret recipes of the Xiao family, the "Xiao Family Secret Pharmaceutical Wine" that can be taken internally and applied externally is the most famous. Basically, anyone nearby who is injured or irritated will come to the Xiao family to ask for medicine.
The Xiao family has never refused the villagers who come to ask for medicine. No matter what kind of thank you gift the other party gives, it doesn't matter. Even a dried pheasant or a fish is not a problem. If the other party's family is in trouble, the Xiao family will even pay some money, food, etc.
A few years ago, someone offered a high price of 500,000 soft girls to the old man, hoping to buy the formula and production method of secret pharmaceutical wine, but the old man flatly refused it, and continued to provide medicinal wine to nearby mountain villagers almost for free.
Before, Xiao Feng didn't understand the old man's decision, but after coming back this time and understanding the family's development history, Xiao Feng finally understood the necessity of some traditional existence.
The Xiao family fled to western Yunnan under the pursuit of Qing soldiers, leaving only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and the entire family was already in danger. It was precisely because of the support and assistance of the ethnic minority mountain people near Ginkgo Village that the Xiao family was able to successfully settle down in Ginkgo Village and eventually reproduce.
In the process of integrating into the western Yunnan region, the Xiao family also used various secret recipes and medical books he owned to provide medical services to mountain people who were short of medical treatment and medicine. For hundreds of years, the Ginkgo Village headed by the Xiao family has formed an extremely strict symbiotic relationship with dozens of villages around, but all this cannot be seen in the government's administrative functions.
Even though the grassroots medical system is gradually being established, the Xiao family is still the first choice in the minds of many mountain people.
It was only after Xiao Feng obtained the qualification to be a successor to the patriarch that he learned about such content from the old man, which made him involuntarily sigh at the survival wisdom of his ancestors.
As the future patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng now needs to take over various secret recipes and folk remedies from the old man, and constantly use the secret medicines in his hands to maintain the prestige of the Xiao family in the Qingling Mountains and even the Biluo Snow Mountain areas.
Therefore, this time entering the mountain was Xiao Feng's test trip. Hunting and camping in the morning were just a pastime. His more important task was to learn to identify and collect various Chinese medicinal materials. This was also the only way for the patriarchs of the Xiao family to pass through.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng would learn various herbal knowledge at the request of the old man when he came back. He often wandered around the forest and also had some understanding of some common herbs. Therefore, today's task was not outrageous and did not give Xiao Feng too much headache.
After wandering around the forest for more than a day, Xiao Feng and the other two carried a basket of wild fruits, two baskets of medicinal materials, and seven or eight pheasants and hares in their hands, carrying them all over the load!
Compared with the past, hunting became an extremely easy thing due to the existence of the target crossbow and the rapid improvement of the physical fitness of the big flower. However, Xiao Feng and others felt a little regretful that they did not encounter any large prey along the way. They could only carry pheasants and hares home, which was better than nothing.
After several years, he went into the forest to hunt and pick wild fruits and medicinal materials again, which allowed Xiao Feng to relive his beautiful memories of the mountains and forests, and also made him think of exploring the depths of the Biluo Snow Mountain.
For everyone, adventure and curiosity are two indelible natures, but most people choose to temporarily forget under the pressure of reality.
After obtaining the Purple Bamboo Space and the Introduction to Qi Zhi, some of Xiao Feng's natures are gradually breaking through the shackles in his heart and beginning to influence Xiao Feng's thoughts.
However, it is not easy to enter the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain. The changing weather, dangerous terrain, ferocious beasts and legendary mysterious power are not a joke. Even if Xiao Feng wants to go into the mountain to explore, he has to wait until the Qi-Spirit Art transforms his body into a stronger and prepares a large amount of adventure supplies in the Zizhu space before he considers the journey.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi didn’t know that this trip to the outside of Qingling Mountain actually made Xiao Feng have the idea of exploring deep in the Biluo Snow Mountain!
