Chapter 27 He Shou Wu

  I hope everyone had a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day! Updates resume today, hoping for your continued support. The four chapters that were missed in the past two days will be made up for! Thank you for your understanding and also thank you to the generous supporter, Sleepy Demon King!

  In the morning, Chu Jiaqiang was exercising when a small golden figure appeared in his line of sight.

  "I thought you little guy had run away! Where have you been sneaking around for the past two days?" Chu Jiaqiang looked at Little Jin, who was drenched from head to toe, apparently having gotten wet from the dew. Seeing this little thing's figure again, Chu Jiaqiang felt a surge of joy.

  Xiao Jin ran to Chu Jiaqiang, chattering away, but Chu Jiaqiang couldn't understand animal language and had no idea what the little guy was trying to express. Seeing that Chu Jiaqiang remained unmoved, Xiao Jin quickly ran a few steps forward, then turned back to look at Chu Jiaqiang, raised a front paw, and beckoned to him.

  This time, Chu Jiaqiang understood and followed Xiao Jin's lead.

  "Where are you going?" Chu Jiaqiang asked in confusion, but Xiao Jin had already run out and he could only quickly follow. That little guy was not slow, ordinary people couldn't keep up, it's really unknown how Chu Jiawen caught him at that time.

  The dew on the road was very heavy, and Chu Jiaqiang's clothes were soon soaked.

  "You little rascal, dragging me out so early in the morning, you're trying to kill me!" Chu Jiaqiang grumbled. Seeing Xiao Jin about to enter the depths of the mountain, Chu Jiaqiang hastily called out: "Hey! It's very dangerous to run into the deep mountains now."

  The little golden boy leading the way in front didn't seem to hear him and continued running forward. Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to follow, he was also curious, why Little Golden was so anxious to bring him in.

  After crossing two big mountains, they arrived at a high peak called Tianji Peak. At this time, the sun was already shining brightly, it should be around 8 o'clock, and Chu Jiaqiang and Xiao Jin had walked for two hours.

  Tianji Peak is a well-known high peak nearby, with an elevation of over 2,000 meters. In the south, it's already very high. At Chujiazhuang, you can also see this tall mountain. In winter, people may see a white blanket on the top of the mountain. Those who don't know might think it's snow, but actually, it's just frost. In the south, especially in the southeastern coastal areas, it's very rare to see snow.

  The vegetation distribution of Tianji Peak is very obvious, which is a typical vertical distribution. The foot of the mountain is broad-leaved forest, the middle of the mountain is coniferous forest, and the top of the mountain is grassland.

  "How much further? If I had known it was that far, I should have informed Second Uncle first. This time, they might be worried." Chu Jiaqiang asked Xiao Jin, and found that this little guy could understand what he said.

  It's actually not that far, but very few people come to Tianji Peak, and there are no roads to walk on. If it weren't for Xiaojin's agility and Chu Jiaqiang's abilities, which aren't small either, they wouldn't have been able to get here in three or four hours.

  Chu Jiaqiang's guess was correct, and the second uncle and others were already anxious. In the morning, Chu Jiaqiang usually arrives at his place for breakfast around 7 o'clock. Today, when it reached 7:30, the second uncle personally went to the old house to look. Except for his own daughter who was still fast asleep, there was no sign of Chu Jiaqiang. He also saw that his phone and other things were all in the room, and it was impossible for him to go to the village elder's house to make a call.

  Xiao Jin nodded and then climbed up towards the top of Tianji Peak.

  One man and one beast climbed up to the mountain waist, passing through a forest of Chinese fir trees, and arrived at a lush cypress forest. Xiaojin stopped, and at this time, Chujiaqiang was also sweating.

  Xiao Jin raised his front paw again and pointed to a pine tree in front of him. The pine tree was very large, requiring two people to hug it together. Next to it was a large boulder covered with moss. Chu Jiaqiang found this strange and walked up to take a look. Right under the big pine tree, next to the boulder, he discovered two plants.

  "What is He Shou Wu?" Chu Jiaqiang had seen this medicinal material online before.

  As a medicine, He Shou Wu's efficacy and function are considered divine! Many people know its black hair and hair growth effects, but few know about the functions of He Shou Wu! He Shou Wu not only has the effect of nourishing hair, but also has the functions of tonifying liver and kidney, benefiting essence and blood, calming the mind and strengthening the spirit.

  In traditional Chinese medicine, He Shou Wu has obvious effects of tonifying the liver and kidney, nourishing essence and blood, strengthening tendons and bones, blackening hair, calming the mind, and stopping diarrhea. Experienced old TCM doctors can use He Shou Wu to formulate hundreds of effective prescriptions for treating various stubborn diseases.

  He Shou Wu is slightly warm in nature, bitter, sweet and astringent in taste, with the functions of tonifying liver and kidney, nourishing essence and blood, and strengthening muscles and bones. He Shou Wu can also improve the aging symptoms of the elderly, such as white hair, tooth loss, and age spots, promote the enhancement of human immunity, and inhibit the deposition of "lipofuscin" that causes aging in body organs.

  He Shou Wu can also expand the coronary arteries of the heart, lower blood lipids, and promote red blood cell production. Therefore, it has a magical effect in preventing coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, senile anemia, cerebral decline, premature aging and other diseases.

  "Haha! I didn't expect you little guy to have a talent for treasure hunting!" Chu Jiaqiang laughed and took a glance at Xiaojin. Xiaojin looked up with an expression of pride and arrogance.

  As for He Shou Wu, Chu Jiaqiang only knew that it was a precious Chinese medicinal herb, but he had no idea what the specific price was, and he would have to go back and search online. He carefully dug up two He Shou Wu plants, such a heavenly treasure, couldn't be abandoned.

  "Alright, let's head back!" Chu Jiaqiang led Xiaojin and hurriedly headed back. The speed at which they returned was noticeably faster than when they came, and it only took two hours to return to the Chu family village.

  "Where did you run off to? I couldn't find your shadow anywhere." Second Uncle scolded.

  "Huh? Brother! When did Xiaojin come back?" Chu Jia Wan didn't worry about her big brother at all, and upon seeing Xiaojin, she shifted all her attention to him.

  "Xiao Jin found two He Shou Wu plants in the mountains and insisted on bringing me along," Chu Jiaqiang explained, his tone full of apology as he pulled out the two He Shou Wu plants.

  His uncle and the others had also heard of He Shou Wu, but they only knew it was a medicinal material and didn't know whether it was precious or not. So when they heard about or even saw He Shou Wu, they didn't have much of a reaction, just took a glance and said: "Oh? So this is He Shou Wu! I've heard it's somewhat useful."

  "He Shou Wu is precious, Teacher said that wild He Shou Wu is even more priceless, its price is comparable to gold." Chu Jia Yan added.

  "What? Is it true? Won't be, will it?" Second Uncle was shocked and amazed, the price is comparable to gold? Didn't hear wrong?

  "The specific price is still unknown, need to check, but it will definitely not be cheap." Chu Jiaqiang smiled and said.

  "Looks like this little thing is quite capable!" Second Uncle looked at Little Jin with surprise, and Little Jin's tail almost wagged up.

  Chu Jiaqiang returned to his room and immediately looked up some information, only to find that there were many types of He Shou Wu, with varying prices, and some were quite cheap. Comparing the two He Shou Wu plants he had obtained, although they weren't the most valuable kind, they were still quite expensive. Moreover, he discovered that his two He Shou Wu plants were already over 80 years old.

  Such wild He Shou Wu is also rare and precious, like gold, it's calculated by gram. Those from the 80s to 90s, generally cost over 200 yuan per gram (fictitious price), although not comparable to gold, but these two He Shou Wu plants weigh several kilograms, selling them can earn tens of millions.
