Chapter 223 Entering the mountains to dig Gastrodia

The pit on the ground is quite deep, covered with dead branches and leaves.

If Zhou Tiantian hadn't been lucky enough to just step on the edge and felt something was wrong, she immediately retracted and probably fell in.

Han Zhenyuan and Chang Yanzhe both came over, "Oh, this is probably a trap dug by someone in the past. It is used to catch prey. It seems to be abandoned for a long time." Han Zhenyuan glanced and said.

"My master has almost killed the prey around the garden. These traps are not very useful. I guess those who dig the traps have forgotten them, right?

Be careful, there may be traps near the garden. Just walk and watch and don’t fall into it.”

When Zhou Tiantian heard that it was a trap to capture prey, she suddenly felt energetic.

"Brother Yanzhe, Brother Six, let's reorganize the trap. What if an animal really falls in?" the little girl said whimsically.

Han Zhenyuan thought it was impossible, but he never heard his grandfather talk about catching prey in a trap.

But the little cousin's expression of hope was really unspeakable.

Han Zhenyuan glanced at Chang Yanzhe and exchanged glances.

Okay, just coax it, isn’t it just a trap? It’s not too difficult to sort it out.

So, after sending Zhou Yanyan back to get shovels and other tools, Han Zhenyuan and Chang Yanzhe took action to clean up the dead branches and leaves on the trap.

Then Han Zhenyuan carefully slid down the edge of the trap and cleaned up the fallen leaves and soil in the trap.

"There are nail boards underneath, it will work if you clean it up a little, wait a moment."

Han Zhenyuan was busy working under the trap, afraid that the people above would worry, so he hurriedly said.

Han Zhenyuan cleaned up under the trap for a while, cleaned up the things inside, and sent them all in baskets, and then put the nail plates under them back in place.

Then he pulled the rope and came up from the trap. Then everyone carefully spread the dead branches and sprinkled fallen leaves on it.

Zhou Tiantian looked at it fun, and on a whim, she broke many tender branches and threw them on the trap.

The tender branches are covered with green leaves. Others can tell at a glance that something is wrong and will not step on it rashly.

But if an animal passes by and sees these green and tender leaves, it is impossible to be sure to come to eat them, and then it will fall into the trap.

After packing up the trap, the children sent the tools back, and then they wandered a little deeper.

The main reason is that Han Zhenyuan is not sure if there are any traps near the park, for fear that everyone will fall down accidentally.

So I was a little further away from the periphery of the garden and did not walk into the forest to ensure safety.

After wandering around for a while, Chang Yanzhe discovered a gastrointestinal vegetation.

Zhou Tiantian had never seen what Gastrodia elata looks like before, so she went over to join in the fun. "So this is Gastrodia elata? It looks so strange."

The purple-red stems and a yellow-green inflorescence at the top. The flowers are not big. The soybeans at the bottom are about the same size as mung beans on the top.

The small flower looks like a lips on it, and a small funnel under it, which looks quite interesting.

It is quite strange that the whole plant only sees stems and inflorescences, but no leaves.

"Galaxanthin has no roots and leaves, but actually relies on honey bacteria to provide nutrition and does not require photosynthesis, so it is different from the plant form we think."

Chang Yanzhe smiled slightly and explained to Zhou Tiantian patiently. "Come on, look carefully and I will tell you how to dig this thing."

As he said that, Chang Yanzhe used his hand to peel off the soil under the stems of Gastrodia elata, and spread it a little bit, gradually revealing the buried tubers in the ground.

It looks quite similar to potatoes, but there are some black silk wrapped around it.

"This black silk is the honey ringworm, which symbiotically arises from the honey ringworm and Gastrodia elata.

In the early stage, honey ringworms provide nutrients for Gastrodia elata for its growth. After Gastrodia elata blooms, the tubers will rot and honey ringworms will absorb nutrients from it."

Chang Yanzhe said as he kept his hands moving. He did not dig out the tubers of the heavenly horny, but continued to dig the soil towards the back of the tubers.

As a result, after digging a few times, I saw several slightly smaller tubers that were exposed in the soil.

"This, as we say, Gastrodia elata, there are big and small, these big ones will bloom next year.

Gastrodia elata is very interesting to reproduce. The tubers that have bloomed through flowers will rot, but as they rot, many small buds will grow, that is, Gastrodia elata cubs.

Wait for two years, when the Gastrodia elata grows up, it will bloom and then rot.”

Every creature has its own unique way of reproduction, and Gastrodia elata is reproductive and reproduced in this way.

"So when digging Gastrodia elata, don't pull out the stalks directly, as this will easily miss the Gastrodia elata cub with better medicine.

You have to look in the direction of the back end. Sometimes, you may encounter a bunch of them, just like this one.

Look, this is a layer, right? If you dig deeper, you might have it." Chang Yanzhe patiently explained to Zhou Tiantian.

While explaining, they picked up all the Gastrodia elata cubs they could see, and then continued to dig up the soil down the lower layer. As Chang Yanzhe said, there was still something underneath.

At the end, Zhou Tiantian picked up more than a dozen cubs from this Gastrodia elata tree, and even Zhou Tiantian couldn't hold it with both hands.

"I really didn't expect that there was only one seedling on it, and there were so many under it." Just like potatoes, there were many potatoes on it.

"This is just one tree. If you meet two trees that grow opposite, look in the middle of the two trees, and there is probably something in the middle.

If you are lucky and meet four or five trees that are very close, there will be more in the middle.

Some people even meet the Tianma Dragon, but they are all very long. If they meet the Tianma Dragon, they can easily dig a bag."

Chang Yanzhe said with great yearning and regret, "But Gastrodia elata is very rare. I have never seen it when I go to the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata every year."

Zhou Tiantian listened to Chang Yanzhe's words and nodded, "Brother Yanzhe, you know so much, you're amazing."

No one can surpass this person in medicine, and talent is really envious of this thing.

"Let's go and look for it again. Maybe we'll see that Gastrodia elaine today?"

Zhou Tiantian was in a good mood and pulled Chang Yanzhe forward.

"How is it that easy? It's very close to the garden, and people who work at noon are willing to go out for a walk.

I just met the fish that was missing the net. It was already good. How could I think about meeting the Gastrodia elata dragon?"

Chang Yanzhe smiled slightly and continued to walk forward with Zhou Tiantian. While walking, he lowered his head and looked in the grass, trying to find another Gastrodia elata tree.

"The fish just now was definitely not a fish that missed the net. Really, Brother Yanzhe, believe me."

Zhou Tiantian glanced into the grass in front and suddenly laughed.

"Brother Yanzhe, come and see, is this what you mentioned in Gastrodia elata?"

In the grass in front, several yellow-green inflorescences were swaying slightly in the wind, as if waving towards Zhou Tiantian.
