Chapter 259: Chapter 259

The big girl squatted down in confusion, and stared at the tree stump for a long time, but still couldn't see a flower, she asked weakly, "Little aunt, what's wrong with this tree?"

Man Bao had a serious face, "This is a pine tree."

Da Ya looked at it, as if yes, "Then what?"

"Chopped off."

Da Ya: "...Well, so?"

"So, are there any pine stumps that have been cut down around here?"

"Yes, before the family used almost all the firewood to bake rice and wheat. My father and third uncle went up the mountain to cut down several trees, all of which seemed to be pine trees."

This piece of land is owned by the village head's family. Anyway, it is not a good tree that can be used as a house, a bed, a box, etc. These pine trees are cut down casually.

Man Bao looked around, "Where is it?"

Daya: ...how did she know where it was, and she didn't cut the tree.

But Da Ya thought about it and remembered that she saw several tree stumps when she went up the mountain in the past two days, but she could not tell what kind of tree it was.

But don't worry, just take my aunt to see it.

Daya was still very curious, "Little aunt, how did you know it was a pine stump?"

Man Bao gave her a strange look, "You can see it, there is a pine tree next to the stump, you can see it by comparing it."

Daya: ... She can't see it, she thinks the tree stumps in the world are all the same.

Of course, Man Bao couldn't leave her bamboo basket behind, so she insisted on dragging her broken bamboo basket along. The key was that it contained not only dead leaves, but also a lot of soil, which was very heavy.

Daya dragged her along, but she couldn't move much, so she dropped the bamboo basket and ran to find the fourth uncle on the other side.

Thurs Lang came over happily, picked up the bamboo basket and was about to go down the mountain. It was better to follow Man Bao than to follow the second brother and the third brother, right?

Manbao is small and will never do heavy work.

Seeing that he was going down the mountain, Man Bao immediately grabbed his clothes and said, "Fourth brother, we still need to find something, don't go down the mountain yet."

Thursullang glanced at the bamboo basket, um, it wasn't full enough.

He didn't mind either. He carried it to the two of them and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to find it."

After turning around two tree stumps, Chuu Lang realized that they were not looking for dead leaves, but "roots".

Yes, Chuu Lang saw the dark brown things that Man Bao threw in the bamboo basket, and thought they were tree roots, but when he saw the white flowers, he thought it was wrong.

Where is the root of the tree white?

Thursday Lang was thinking about what this thing was, when a big girl screamed, "Little aunt, I found it!"

Man Bao immediately dropped the tree stump beside him and ran over to see Da Ya.

She saw it at a glance, and immediately stepped forward happily, "It's it, it's it."

She didn't break it out the first time, and she almost sat on the ground.

Shirou put down the bamboo basket, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "I'm coming!"

This tree stump is not as many as the previous one, but it is not much.

After breaking it up, Shirou still smelled it and felt a fragrance, so he glanced at Man Bao strangely, "Young sister, tell the fourth brother, is this a treasure?"

Man Bao nodded seriously, "Yes!"

Thursday's eyes were bright, and he asked brightly, "What kind of baby?"

"I'll know soon." Man Bao hugged a piece and said, "Let's go down the mountain, I'll ask Mr.

Thurou: "...So you don't know?"

"I do not know."

Unable to speak anymore, Chuu Lang picked up the small broken bamboo basket and said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain and go home. It's almost time for dinner, right? Have you finished your homework?"

Today, Thursday Lang was only working in the woods, because there are many trees in the woods, the shadows are everywhere, and it is relatively cool, so Lao Zhoutou did not give them any time to rest.

Thursday Lang felt that his waist was almost unable to straighten now.

Man Bao accurately saw the fourth brother's idea of ​​being lazy, and hummed twice: "It's done early, I'm not you."

Daya didn't want to go down the mountain. Many of her little friends were still in the woods. She wanted to stay and play with them. Seeing that the little aunt was brought by her fourth uncle, she immediately spread her feet and ran to play.

Man Bao didn't mind either, and walked down the mountain with Shirou.

Man Bao didn't go home directly, but ran to find Mr.

Mr. Zhuang was drinking tea in the yard, while revising the children's homework, when he saw Man Bao running in dirty, he smiled and looked at her, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, do you know what this is?" Man Bao showed him the pile of things in his arms.

Mr. Zhuang was slightly surprised, "Poria?"

He smiled and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Poria?" Man Bao's eyes sparkled, "I know, tuckahoe cream, tuckahoe cake."

Mr. Zhuang laughed when he heard it, and said, "This is all food, at Shanbao's house?"

Man Bao bowed his head in embarrassment, he really ate at Bai Shanbao's house.

Mr. Zhuang looked at the tuckahoe in her hand and said, "You broke it?"

Man Bao nodded, "I can't break some of them, so my fourth brother broke them."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You should dig further underground along the roots of the pine tree, and there should be more."

Man Bao was surprised, "How do you know that I found it in the roots of a pine tree, sir?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Do you know why it is called Poria?"

Man Bao shook his head.

"Because some people think that it is a magical thing transformed by the essence of pine tree, they call it Fuling (Poria), Fushen or pine. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty has a book "The Legend of Immortals", in which there is "the spirit of old pine transformed into Poria "said." Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "This Poria has three parts, and all three parts can be used as medicine."

Mr. Zhuang pointed to the dark brown skin and said, "This is the skin of Poria cocos, which helps to reduce swelling and nourishes the skin;"

He pointed at the white flesh and said, "This is the white tuckahoe. The tuckahoe cream you mentioned is made of it. It has more uses. It can help the spleen and qi, and it can also cure insomnia and dreams."

Mr. Zhuang has only read one or two medical books, and what he knows is only superficial. For more specific information, Manbao will need to find it.

Mr. Zhuang said: "This is a medicinal material. If you want to know more, you have to ask the doctor or the people in the pharmacy. However, there is a part of this Poria that is penetrated by the pine roots, which is called Fushenmu. You shouldn't have dug it out, then Fu Shenmu is also a medicine."

"What can be cured?" Man Bao asked quickly.

Mr. Zhuang smiled and shook his head, "I don't know if I'm a teacher. I'm a teacher, not a doctor."

"Then when I know, I'll tell Mr.

Mr. Zhuang responded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the time and waved: "Go back quickly, or the family should be looking for you in a hurry."

Man Bao responded, hugged Poria and ran home.

At home, the old Zhoutou was holding up the dark brown thing, but he didn't see what it was for a long time. He felt that the fourth child was playing with him, so he dropped it and asked, "Can this thing be a treasure?"

As soon as Man Bao ran back, he saw her father throwing her things on the ground, and immediately called out, "Father, this is Poria!"
