"The medicine primer is in our local area. One is the hornet's nest, and the other is the old apricot tree fungus. The hornet's nest is easy to find, and the leaves have not grown yet, so you can see it clearly. There may not be any apricot tree fungus. From our Going north here for more than 30 miles, there were apricot trees over there more than ten years ago, but now I don’t know if there are any, and there is no way to do it, I guess there are no pharmacies.”

"Okay, dad, I'll look for it now. It's more than 30 miles away, and it will take more than an hour. I won't be late." Niu Bo pushed the car and left, no matter it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, another It gets dark in hours.

"What are you doing stupid? It will be dark in just one or two hours. You can still look for things when you get there! Besides, your ninth uncle is not at home, and he is still lying in the hospital. You can't give it to me if you get it." He uses it. I’ll go there early tomorrow morning, and I’ll take a look too. I thought you were in the county, so I asked you to drop by. I also have acquaintances in the county hospital, so I’ll go and see how your Uncle Ninth is doing.” Dad was still as calm as ever , Stop the impatient Niu Bo.

Niu Bo put the car back into the yard, thinking about it, now Uncle Jiu is still in the hospital, even if he finds the medicine, he won't be able to use it for a while.But Niu Bo was anxious.

Uncle Jiu is not the ninth son in the family, but the peers of the big family in the village named Niu in order of birth.Dad was ranked third.Uncle Jiu and his father are only four or five years apart in age, but they got married late and their children are young. The first two daughters are only in junior high school, one has already finished school, and the youngest boy is only in elementary school.

When Uncle Jiu was a child, he often played with Niu Bo, and would buy him a candy if he had some change.A child can't remember any big grievances. If you treat him better, take him to play, and give him snacks, he will remember your kindness.Niu Bo feels very close to Uncle Jiu even now.Seeing Uncle Jiu like this, thinking about how miserable the three younger sisters would be if Uncle Jiu was gone, I felt very sad.

Niu Bo thought about giving Uncle Jiu a try with Longquan holy water, but he didn't dare to take the risk.He really didn't know what effect this Longquan holy water had on ordinary people.I am the master of this space, and I can't guarantee the physical condition of Uncle Nine even after being in contact with such a drop.

Therefore, he still has to go the normal way. If there is no other way, he will try this again, and he is not good at explaining this to others, which is why he can't use it easily.

Early the next morning, Niu Bo took his dry food and went to the place his father said.The situation here is similar to my own. Looking at the house, I can tell that the economic situation is average. There is no need to worry about the problem of food and clothing.The place is not big, and there are not many goods inside.

Niu Bo bought two bottles of purified water and put them in his bag for drinking on the way.This area is full of mountains, and it is impossible to ride a bicycle inside, so we have to put it outside.One of Niu Bo’s reasons for buying things is that he wants the family to look after the car, and the other is to ask about the distribution of apricot trees in this area.

Hearing that Niu Bo said that he was looking for medicine for his family, the woman in charge of the store was very enthusiastic, and looked at Niu Bo with a pitiful look, and she was going to not even pay for water.Niu Bo didn't want to, but the woman took the money according to the cost price, selling it for [-] yuan outside, but she only charged Niu Bo [-] yuan, and told enthusiastically that there were still places with apricot trees.

There are really many good people in the world, and there are many in our rural areas.Niu Bo bid farewell to the eldest sister who was in charge of the store. On the way, he met an old man herding sheep, women and children cleaning up the mountain, and when he explained the situation, they were very enthusiastic to give directions.Niu Bo found a place and started wandering around the old apricot tree to see what kind of apricot tree fungus it was.

There are not many old apricot trees here, and it seems that these years have been cut down very hard, and there will really be no more a few years later.Apricot tree fungi are all on the shady side, on the trunk two or three meters above the ground, and there are also roots, but very few.In this way, every time Niu Bo found a tree, he had to climb up and pin it down with the knife he brought.

Apricot tree fungi are white on the outside and vary in size. The large ones can be as big as a chestnut fruit, and the small ones are like beans.Niu Bo only collected the big ones and left the small ones alone.Maybe someone else will use it in the future, so I can't ruin other people's hopes.

Walking all the way, searching all the way, Niu Bo walked countless miles on this mountainous land, basically filled the yellow cloth bag he was carrying, and wanted to go back the same way.But he remembered the short cut that the elder sister who was watching the store told him when he came here. He climbed to the top of a mountain, and he could vaguely see the village, so he didn't have to go back.

Wangshan ran a dead horse. In the mountains, he saw a very short road, but he really had to go a long way.Niu Bo climbed over two hills, and then looked at the small mountain village he came from, the distance still seemed to be that far away.Fortunately, it was spring, and the trees hadn't covered the mountain yet, otherwise I might have lost my way.

It was already afternoon, Niu Bo was sweating from walking, and his underwear was already wet.This road is non-stop, and you have to climb up and down. If it were someone else, it would have been too long ago.Niu Bo also felt tired, and his calves felt a little sore. After staying at Hu Yang's house for one night, he didn't have much rest, probably because of the sequelae.

I sat under an old tree, looked up casually, and found that there was a big guy on the old apricot tree.This apricot tree fungus is higher than the ground, and on a branch as thick as a person's thigh, it is as big as a goose egg.Niu Bo collected quite a lot along the way, and he felt that it should be enough, but seeing such a big one, he couldn't help it.

The bigger the head, the better the effect should be.Niu Bo climbed up, regardless of the soreness of his arms and legs, and climbed up with the branches of the tree. He was already four or five meters above the ground, and Niu Bo felt a little dizzy when he looked down.So, holding the branch with one hand, pinning it hard with a knife in the other hand, it took a few times to pin it down. Unexpectedly, it fell to the ground, and Gululu rolled away.

Let me wipe, is it easy for me to work hard once? After climbing so high, I am so tired that my arms and legs are sore.Staring at the general direction of rolling on the tree, take a breath, and climb down slowly.Climbing up a tree is easy but getting down a tree is difficult, and the difficulty lies in not being able to see clearly.With such a high distance from the ground, Niu Bo really didn't dare to take the risk. If he really fell and broke his leg, he would cry in this desolate place.

Go down, drink water, and search along the route you saw just now, and finally find the apricot tree fungus under a thick bush.Under the shade of a few old locust trees, the bushes grew luxuriantly.

Niu Bo was really exhausted, so he just sat here, took out the bread that he had brought in the morning, put some pickles in it, and stuffed it into his stomach while drinking water.Niu Bo was really hungry. After stuffing his stomach with four or five pancakes, he finally felt better.There's no way, I only have so much to bring, and I'll eat enough when I go home at night.

Niu Bo didn't want to look any further, there was absolutely enough here.So tired!

Niu Bo lay down on the hillside, stretching his body as much as possible to make himself feel more comfortable.The sun in the west is relatively warm, and with the spring breeze blowing from time to time, Niu Bo really wants to lie down and sleep here.However, I still have to go, otherwise it will be dark when I go home, and it will be the same when I lie on the mountain in my home tomorrow.

I turned over and wanted to do push-ups to get up, only to find that the place where my left hand was pressing was soft, but the place where my right hand was pressed was really hard, which was a real mountain.Press it again, and there is obviously something under the left hand. Niu Bo broke the surface soil with a blade and saw a strange thing. What is it?
