Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 148 Rope Soaking Feet and Smelly Fruits

When he returned to the courtyard, the fruits in the wooden box had not yet been visibly stained under the qi wrapping, so he dispersed them and exposed the fruits to the sun.

The strong stench was released again, Chen Yu couldn't help holding his breath, took out a knife and carefully cut a hole, and picked out a 'stone' from it.

Put it on a plate and move it to your eyes.

The scene inside the fruit was revealed. He looked over and saw a piece of floating black and purple dust and viscous liquid.

There are a lot of 'pebbles', a total of twenty or thirty large and small.

There is still a slender line on the twisted one, like a drawing in memory.

Using a wooden stick to scrape off the mucus on the surface, it was found that there was an irregularly shaped... seed?Or fruit cores and the like.It looks a bit like a grape, but far less rounded.

The mental power was released and pierced into the fruit core.

What catches the eye is a thick shell, and after passing through the shell, there are soft white nuts.

Can you eat?
This was his first reaction when he saw the things in front of him, then he shook his head without thinking about it, cut open the shell with a blade and squeezed out the nuts.

This one doesn't smell very bad.

Chen Yu took the wooden tray to store alone, put it on a stone pier aside, and sniffed it close. The smell was still there, but it was not so strong.

From here, it can be deduced that the smell comes from the mucus in the fruit, or the black and purple dust.

Twisting out one by one, he felt that these uneven 'pebbles' might be mutated dandelion seeds. After thinking about it, he left a few uncut.

Part of the mucus was also preserved. The old method, because he couldn't figure out the effect, he wrapped it with the original fruit peel and packed it to avoid the possible loss of efficacy.

After processing the dandelion fruit, he set his sights on the other two. The first is the long and thick fresh lamb, which is very tall. It occupies a large space when lying flat on the stone table, with its head and feet sticking out. , poked a foot outside the table.

After removing the branches and leaves, the white juice seeped out of the crack, Chen Yu wrapped it with Qi and put it aside, and then continued to dismantle it.

With a slash, like a bamboo shoot, the layers of the inner coat burst open on their own with a bang, splitting into two petals.

Hearing the movement, his thoughts drifted away. He thought that it was already August, and the bamboo shoots on the mountain should be able to be dug. After a while, he could go to the back mountain bamboo forest to dig some back.

Not only to satisfy his hunger, but he planned to transplant a few thin bamboos to the side of the medicine field, which would be nourished by the spiritual liquid, so it would be easy to grow.

Thoughts in my heart turned, and my hands kept moving.

After a while, the entire rhizome was broken open, revealing the innermost handful of cotton-like gray-yellow flocs.

Spiritual touch, did not feel abnormal.

After catching earthworms and putting them in it, the earthworms were still alive and kicking after a quarter of an hour, as if they were just ordinary long flocs.

Scratching his head, Chen Yu picked up two strands and hung them in front of him to observe carefully, but he still failed to understand the specific situation.

When encountering water and fire, the changes are mediocre, and no abnormalities have been revealed.

Leaving it aside for the time being, he turned his attention back to the ten layers of coat that had been peeled off.

It can be seen that from the outside to the inside, the color becomes clear in turn. The outermost part is dark red when it is connected with the air, and the inner part becomes lighter and lighter, and finally turns into a pink and thin red color. As far as it is concerned, only the core is grayish yellow.

It looks like the color gradient is really eye-catching.

Chen Yu didn't get too entangled in the color, his eyes were tightly locked on one of the layers, it was crimson red, and it was a little sticky to the touch, and after rubbing it twice, he could find tiny strands.

After pulling it, I found that it is quite resilient.

He looked around, his face was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And took the third one.

Tobacco, the fruit swells after mutation, and at first glance it looks like a bunch of green pears hanging on the top.

But this fruit was also afraid to taste it. He rummaged for a while and tore off the skin. Although it didn't have the stench like the ground dandelion, it also had a hint of bitterness, not much better than the peach blossoms produced by the mutated peach tree.

And the peel is too thick, it looks big, but there is not much pulp when it breaks.Chen Yu gouged out everything on the roots and leaves, and only got a small bowl.

However, the core of this fruit has its own fragrance, like a mixture of Baihe and mint.

Not bad.

The three spiritual plants were preliminarily processed by him, but their usefulness was not clear, and it was impossible to tell whether they were edible or not based on the known conditions alone.

At least the other two kinds of dandelions did not show too obvious 'inedible characteristics'.

try it?
Chen Yu frowned, Brother Ji was still digesting several kinds of food that had just been cultivated.Rubbing his chin lightly, he felt that he might arrange more chicks to test the medicine in the future.

After all, the son inherits the father's business.

Brother Chicken is really too busy with one chicken, and he is reluctant to give up two hens. After thinking about it, the ten growing chicks can take on this important task.

In contrast, earthworms sometimes do not verify much information.

……

"Don't cry, after taking this bite, I will stop tomorrow."

In the chicken shed, Chen Yu is a man who does what he says and does. After making a decision, he selected two healthy young chickens to become the new chickens for testing medicine.

All were fed except ground dandelions.

After two days of continuous consumption and four days of observation, the condition of the chicken is still healthy, there is no major problem, but the one that ate the fresh lamb has some hair loss - not the wings, but near the comb, and a small circle of baldness on the top of the head.

It looks a little funny.

But Chen Yu didn't laugh. He made a serious record. After selecting two more chicks for experimentation, he found that the hair loss and baldness only happened on the first chick.

After mental caressing, it was finally confirmed that some kind of gland in the neck was stimulated, and at the same time, the nerves and scalp of the head were affected by the extremely complicated transformation, thereby softening the hair.

The magic is that fresh sheep seems to only act on the glands that the human body does not have, and has no other effects on chickens.

Of course, the final conclusion has to be judged later, and the possibility of toxin accumulation and latent symptoms cannot be ruled out.

However, Chen Yu thinks it may not be so, because he has summed up a law of catalysis a long time ago, that is, regardless of the effect and degree of alienation of catalyzing Lingzhi, it will develop in a favorable direction.

Is it good to produce highly toxic?If you think about it carefully, it seems to be okay, at least for Lingzhi himself.

Snapped!He closed the booklet and put it in his arms.The idea of ​​engraving characters on bamboo slips is still being explored, and there are many problems that need to be solved urgently. For example, bamboo is actually much more fragile than wood chips, and too high moisture will affect seal cutting, and the brittleness will be even higher after drying.

Anyway, just getting started.

So now I still use paper to record, and in the past few days I have been thinking about the internal breathing technique again and again. I want to record the previous three self-created methods, including the technique of imperial objects, and make a copy of "The Complete Practice of Yunheguan". However, the paper is limited, and it is a waste of a lot to modify it.

As a last resort, he stopped, and probably had to wait for the success of the bamboo seal in the future before he could really 'publish'.

"That's the bookshelf. It's been so long since I made it and it's been empty for months, but I haven't seen half a new book added."

Sighing, he clapped his hands, twirled the chicken feathers that fell on his shoulders, and returned to the yard.

In the past four days, part of the Changbai millet in the mountain field has begun to germinate, and all kinds of things in the medicine field are also growing in an orderly manner, even the sundries buried in the soil have really begun to change.

It's a pity that what makes Chen Yu helpless is that the half jade, which has expected a lot of alienation directions, has never shown any movement.

He picked it up, wiped it clean and put it back in the Taoist temple.

And in the past few days, the only ones who can be said to have gained anything are probably the three newly mutated spiritual plants.

The first to discover the effect is not the fresh lamb and mixed smoked grass with chickens as helpers.It's the extremely smelly ground dandelion.

Having nothing to do, he tried his best to verify the effect after cutting out the nuts, until finally he found that it seemed to have some benefits for the skin.

After finding the direction, Chen Yu fiddled a lot, and almost used up the seeds and kernels produced by the whole dandelion, and finally confirmed that it does have detoxification, activation and smoothing effects on the cortex.

That is to say, beauty in the saying.

However, after further comparison, he found that different parts of the skin reacted differently to dandelion nuts, and the most effective ones were not the face and palms, but the feet.

"Is this thing used to soak your feet?"

But if you think about it carefully, this is just right, otherwise, just the stench of the butt will make it impossible to smear on the face at all.

Gain nuts mixed with black and purple mucus have the most obvious effect after brewing with warm water to make a paste.

But the smell also seemed to be magnified and became more disgusting.

"Let's use it to soak your feet."

Not to mention that Chen Yu had been eating qi for more than a month, just the spiritual liquid and intestine-moistening grass that he had been given forward made his face as clean as gentle jade, so there was no need to spoil and disgust himself.

As for the other two, I have more or less explored some uses in a few days, such as fresh lamb, which not only makes the chickens bald, but also can be used to knead the inner side of the interlayer into threads—just like hemp, but the process is reversed. It's much simpler, just wash it with hot water, rub it a few times, twist it and let it dry.

Resilient.

He has new fishing lines to replace his fishing rods, as well as protection from peach trees and vegetable gardens and medicine fields, and he can also add some fine netting arrangements to guard against flying birds.
