My village can't be like this

Chapter 679 Entering the Mountain
After lunch, Zhang An and his group prepared to go out into the mountains.

The May Day holiday has not yet ended, so Su Ying doesn't have to be busy with classes all day.

With such a rare opportunity to relax and do nothing, she naturally wanted to go for a walk in the mountains.

Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang didn't have the leisure to do so. In the first half of their lives, there was hardly a day that they didn't go to the mountains. Now that they could stay at home, they certainly didn't want to go to the mountains.

"Why don't you just stay home with us?"

It was noon now, when the sun was at its highest, and Wang Fang didn't want her good grandson to run into the mountains and suffer.

"I don't!!"

Unfortunately, little Siqi was only thinking about going out to have fun and didn’t care about his grandma’s concern at all.

I don't know where Xiao learned this from, but he said these two words clearly and unwaveringly.

"Just try not to talk to me properly."

Su Ying has always been the strictest with her son. When she saw the little guy holding his head high and talking to his grandmother, she immediately looked away.

After being disciplined by Su Ying, little Siqi no longer dared to act wild.

But the hand that was holding the fat man's pants did not loosen at all, and the idea of ​​going out to have fun did not give up at all.

"It's okay, just go. It's natural for a country kid not to go into the mountains. For example, when his father first learned to run, he often ran into the mountains. At that time, the blue wolf often came down the mountain."

Seeing her grandson being scolded by her daughter-in-law, Wang Fang hurried to speak up for her grandson.

There was one thing she didn't say, which was that although Zhang An often went to the mountains to play when he was a child, he would be beaten every time he came back.

After a while, the group went out.

They didn't bring much stuff this time, only the fat man carried a small basket.

After all, they went into the mountains this time just to pick some hemorrhoid grass for Fatty.

But in fact, it was more about taking the fat couple for a walk in the mountains, and the hemorrhoid grass was just a by-product.

After all, that thing is not a rare treasure. Instead, it is very common and can be found easily.

On the way, we met quite a few tourists who were going into the mountains. Some were walking, while others hired horses from the villagers to ride into the mountains.

Last winter, the village carried out major construction in the Guanyin Mountain area.

Not only has the road into the mountain been paved, but guardrails have also been installed on the Guanyin Bridge. It is now very easy to cross without having to climb as hard as before.

The most important thing is that some public facilities have been built in Guanyin Cave. In addition to upgrading the existing convenience store, toilets have also been arranged.

Therefore, more and more people go there to climb mountains this year. It can be said that in terms of passenger flow, it is almost on par with Lotus Pond.

On the road, in addition to tourists leisurely strolling into the mountains, there are also people carrying various goods on horses or cows to get supplies.

Only Zhang An and his group were a little different from the others. The fat man carried the small bamboo backpack that Zhang An had used to collect herbs, while Zhang An carried little Siqi on his shoulders and had a gourd filled with water around his waist.

Once you enter the mountains, in addition to the lush greenery everywhere, you will also be accompanied by the sounds of birds and insects.

Spring has just passed, and at this moment these mountains have become synonymous with vitality and vigor.

The only thing I can do is to hold the summer cicadas, which seem to be still in the soil and have not started to go off work, otherwise this forest would be even more lively.

"Zhang An, is that thing the old man was talking about easy to find?"

Along the way, the fat man walked and looked around, still worried about the hemorrhoid grass.

But it's normal. After all, this thing is related to him personally. It would be strange if he didn't care about it at all.

Unfortunately, he didn't know what it was, so it was useless even if he kept talking about it.

"Look, there are several of them. Don't worry, they are everywhere and you can find them easily. You want to go to the mountains to have a look, right? We can dig some up when we come back and bring them back. If you dig them up now, you will have to carry them all the way into the mountains."

Seeing that the fat man was absent-minded all the way, Zhang An had to find a few plants nearby and show them to him.

Otherwise, he would be worried all day.

Hemorrhoid grass is really a very common herb. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be found everywhere.

But actually, this thing does not just refer to one kind of grass, but several kinds.

Because they are effective for hemorrhoids, they are collectively called hemorrhoid grass.

However, when prescribing, you have to choose according to the differences between internal and external use.

This time, the prescription that Zhang Yixing wrote for the fat man could be found in the pharmacy for internal use, so all he needed to find was the one for external use.

If you are looking for hemorrhoid grass for internal use, you may need to spend some time looking for it.

But the difference is that those are for external use, so you don’t need to spend much time on them, you can find them everywhere after playing with them.

For example, the most common and most annoying stinking peony in the countryside is the one that Zhang An just pointed out.

This thing deserves the name to have the word "stinky" in it, it really stinks. Except for those who need it, basically no one is willing to look for it. Even if there is it in the field, it will be dug up when weeding.

But this thing is one of them. You can dig out its roots, then use them to boil water for sitz baths, which can treat hemorrhoids.

This thing can relieve the congestion and pain symptoms of hemorrhoids. External application can relieve pain. Of course, if it is only stinking peony, it will definitely not work and the effect will definitely be very poor.

However, when combined with the other herbs in Zhang Yixing's prescription and after neutralizing the medicinal properties, the effect is extraordinary.

Zhang An had no idea how serious the condition was. After all, he was the only one among nine out of ten men who suffered from hemorrhoids. He had never suffered from it himself, so he had no chance to experience it firsthand.

“So that’s what it is.”

The fat man looked in the direction Zhang An pointed and saw several large stinking peonies.

"Ugh~~~, why is this thing so smelly? Even shit can't compare to it."

The fat man ran over and pulled a few leaves, wanting to take a closer look, but found it smelled so bad that he almost vomited on the spot.

"It must be very smelly, because this thing is called a stinking peony. The stench comes from the leaves. If you don't touch it, you can hardly smell it. But you pulled it off, especially this one, which is the stinkiest red stinking peony."

There are two types of stinking peonies, white and red. The branches of the white stinking peony are all green, while the branches of the red stinking peony are brown-red.

In terms of smell, the red stinking peony is stronger than the white stinking peony. Their smell is like rotten durian, which is indescribable.

But no matter which type of stinking peony it is, the smell is on the leaves, but their flowers have no odor.

But they are like living hemp grass, if you don't touch them, then everyone is fine, but once you touch them, you will definitely get into trouble. Especially now, when the sun is at its highest point in the day, the fat man pulls them at this time, and the stench is even stronger.

When the fat man heard this, he quickly threw away the stinking peony leaves in his hand.

There happened to be a stream nearby, and after throwing the ball away, he immediately ran over to wash his hands.

"Okay, stop wasting your time. This stuff won't get clean no matter how hard you try. Just grab some mud and rub your hands together, and wait for it to slowly fall away."

Seeing the fat man running to wash his hands, Zhang An immediately shook his head. The smell of this thing is not so easy to wash off.

Fortunately, we had already eaten at this time, otherwise it would have been disgusting. Rural people can actually accept it, but city people like Fatty would absolutely not be able to accept smelling it while eating.

"Ah, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

When the fat man heard what Zhang An said, he was dumbfounded and felt very regretful. He wondered why he had done such a shameless thing.

"You ran over and reached out before I even said anything. What can I do?"

Zhang An sighed, spread his hands and said helplessly.

Afterwards, after walking a few steps, they came across a patch of stinking peonies. The fat man then believed that there were really a lot of these things, so he stopped thinking about them.

After entering the mountain, Zhang An and his friends did not head towards Guanyin Mountain like other tourists, but chose another place at the fork in the road.

After all, Guanyin Mountain is now full of people. Even if you go there, there is no feeling of climbing a mountain. Instead, it feels more like going there to see the crowds of people.

And with Zhang An, a local, there, they can appreciate the different places in the mountains without having to squeeze with a large crowd.

"Take a break. I can't walk any more."

After walking on the mountain road for a while, the fat man finally couldn't hold on any longer and kept shouting that he wanted to rest.

Hearing the fat man shouting that he couldn't walk anymore, Zhang An found a relatively clean rock nearby and took everyone there to rest.

"It just so happens that there are plenty of shade trees here, so why not take a rest here for a while? But I say, you should lose some weight, or else you'll be in trouble when you get older."

The fat man's weight is always too large, and it is too difficult for him to exercise.

I had only been walking for a short while but I was already out of breath and felt like a dying person.

You should know that Su Ying and Zhang Zilin next to them just breathed a little harder and had a little sweat on their foreheads.

"I want to lose weight, too. You see, I don't eat much at every meal, but I can't lose any weight. Hey Zhang An, I heard that Chinese medicine has a recipe for weight loss. Do you know any? If you do, give me one."

The fat guy was also annoyed with his fat body. Zhang An was not the only one who had asked him to lose weight.

But losing weight is easy to say but very difficult to do.

However, he soon remembered that he had heard from others that Chinese medicine had a prescription that could help people lose weight, and he immediately set his sights on Zhang An.

"There are such prescriptions, but it's hard to say how effective they are, because it varies from person to person. Some people may be able to lose weight after using them, but for others, it has no effect. And after using this prescription, you still need to have a regular life, otherwise the rebound will be even more terrible than before."

Zhang An knows more than one recipe for weight loss.

But it is only after knowing this that I become more aware of the side effects.

After all, anything that can overtake others and take effect quickly will not have only positive effects.

While these prescriptions will work, they will also damage the body's vitality, so it will take a longer time to get through the side effects and replenish the body's vitality.

"Is there really such a prescription? I thought it was all fake. Then Zhang An, you can prescribe one for him and tell us if there is anything he needs to pay attention to. I will supervise him then."

When Zhang Zilin heard what Zhang An said, her eyes widened immediately.

She didn't quite believe it before, but since Zhang An said so, she had no choice but to believe it.

But since there is such a thing, she would definitely want Zhang An to prescribe one for Fatty to try.

Although her man's weight hasn't caused her too much trouble, no woman wants her man to always be fat.

"Well, let's open one and give it a try. Although I can't control myself, now I have someone who can control me."

The fat guy has no confidence in his ability to control himself, otherwise he wouldn't have become his current size.

But it doesn't matter, because now there is someone who can control him.

"Then let's talk about it when we get back. Then we can see if we can find someone who can make you suffer less."

Zhang An naturally wouldn't refuse to help his friends, especially with Zhang Zilin around. He felt that the fat man would not have a chance to rebound.

"By the way, since you brought water, why didn't you think of bringing some cups?"

The fat man was a little thirsty, but there was no drinkable spring water nearby, so he could only drink the water in Zhang An's gourd.

But if there was only a gourd without a cup, it wouldn't matter if there were only a few men, but now that Su Ying and Zhang Zilin were here, they certainly couldn't drink directly from the cup.

"We've already entered the mountains, why bring a cup? Just pick a few leaves and fold them."

Seeing the fat man being so delicate, Zhang An said unhappily, but he still stood up and picked a few larger leaves nearby.

Fold these leaves slightly, then put a piece of grass leaf on them, and a purely natural cup will come out.

"I don't know what kind of treasure this water from Zhang An's family is. Every time I drink it, the fatigue in my body seems to disappear."

The fat man drank some water from the leaves and immediately felt very comfortable.

Although he didn't know that the water Zhang An brought was extremely magical space spring water, he could feel the magical effect of drinking this water.

Although they also drank this when they were at Zhang An's house, they usually just thought it tasted good and never had the same personal experience as they do now.

Didn’t you see that he was as tired as a dog just now, but now after drinking a few sips of water, he suddenly feels like nothing happened.

"It tastes good, so drink more."

Of course Zhang An wouldn't tell him why, he just replied casually.

"No, that won't work. This gourd is only this small. I've finished drinking it. What are you going to drink later?"

The fat man immediately shook his head. When he was extremely thirsty, this gourd of water would probably only be enough for him to drink for one meal.

But he didn't know that there was another world in Zhang An's gourd, and that it could hold much more water than he had imagined.
