Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 187, White Crane

This white crane was a bit dirty, and it was no longer as elegant as before, and a hemp rope was tied to its calf.

Song Dalin also tugged the hemp rope in his hand as if showing off, the white crane was thrown staggeringly, but it didn't fly away, just walked quietly on the ground, and at the same time trimmed its feathers with pecks.

"Xie Man, this is my old Song's adventure. I caught and domesticated the white crane when I was a little white crane. Now this white crane has been trained by Lao Tzu to point and hold it. What is it? Brother Song said that everything is not a problem, there is no medicine that I can't get, and I am safe and pain-free throughout the whole process."

"Why do you feel that this white crane is a little dull?" The middle-aged woman Xie Man also went to poke Bai He's face, and found that this proud creature didn't seem to respond at all, but instead seemed to be dull for a while without any reaction.

"This requires training. It will only respond at certain times. Not only white cranes can be used, but some raptors can also be used, but they must be raised from small birds before they will listen to you." Song Dalin looked proud. Said: "This is a stunt that I secretly learned in the circus when I was young."

Xie Man also had an expression of admiration. She knew that Song Dalin used to work in a circus. He often had to feed animals and get in touch with animal trainers. Over time, he learned something, and this thing became his favorite. The medicine man's unique skill.

"Then why don't you continue to work in the circus?" Sherman asked again, with this stunt, you can find more food in the circus.

"Breaking the law, these things that are suspected of cruelty to animals protected by the state have been banned a long time ago, and the circus is still there. I thought it was the past, and there were a lot of rules. The circus of the old club had been disbanded long ago. The boss Not to mention, I have changed jobs, those who engage in difficult gymnastics have gone to teach yoga, the animal trainers are even worse, they have all gone to raise pigs, and now I am the only one who makes a fortune in silence, like I am doing now Selling herbal medicines, the money is so much higher than those people, I don’t know where it went, and the money I get every day is much higher than those big beast trainers in the past.” Song Dalin said with a smile, looking at the people who were neither high nor low in the distance. Pointing at the small mountain wall, he said, "Look, there is a bunch of dendrobium on it."

Sherman recognized the bunch of flowers.

Dendrobium, also known as Immortal Dendrobium Orchid Rhyme, Immortal Grass, and Resurrection Grass, but because it is difficult to collect and grows scarcely, the wild price is very expensive, costing hundreds of dollars a catty.

"Dog, go!"

Song Dalin pulled the hemp rope, and the white crane raised its head, and flew towards the herbs, uprooted the herbs on the cliff, and took them down with extremely high efficiency. It didn't take a moment, and it usually took half a day for herb pickers to get the medicine It was picked up.

"Haha, the dog is so good." Song Dalin caressed his cash cow, took out a piece of meat that couldn't be smaller from his pocket, and put it in front of Bai He. After Bai He ate the small meat, he continued It's a sluggish look arranging his feathers.

"Look, my dog ​​is amazing." Song Dalin said proudly.

"It's amazing, but this white crane digs herbs uprooted and doesn't even leave the roots. Is there something wrong." Seeing the uprooted medicine in front of him, Xieman hesitated. It will stay rooted, if Baihe goes, it will be uprooted.
"You let Baihe understand what keeping roots is? You must have thought too much. Besides, whether or not to keep the roots is none of my business. Anyway, I dig out one mountain and go to another. There are outstanding people in China, and there are not many things. There are so many mountains and mountains, I can't finish digging in my whole life, so it's no big deal to leave any roots." Song Dalin said with disapproval, and didn't take the matter of hollowing out the mountains at all.

Xie Man next to him couldn't help but said: "But I heard that the residents at the foot of this mountain rely on this mountain to eat. Usually, people with headaches would come here to collect some mountain herbs. You've finished collecting them."

"I've said it, it's none of my business, I don't know them before, and it's not my father, right?" Song Dalin said impatiently: "Xie Man, you are only my girlfriend now, not my mother-in-law. , do you need to worry about me so much? Didn’t you join me because you wanted to learn my medicine-picking skills?

After being stunned by Song Dalin, Xie Man was completely speechless, and could only sigh in the end, acquiescing to this statement.

"That's right, don't talk, don't beep, anyway, I'm popular, you drink spicy food, understand?" Song Dalin snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with Xie Man's accusation, but he was also helpless, he Although the income of this profession is good, but the social status is the same, plus the age, the person is not good-looking, the mouth is not sweet, and the temper is quite hot. It is not easy to find someone who is willing to help you live. It should be done and cherished.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say much, they just continued to grab the herb. Every time Baihe caught a herb, Song Dalin would give a little minced meat, and the amount was getting less and less.

At the end, the white cranes began to chirp.
"Can't Old Song feed her a little more? It seems that this little bit of minced meat is not enough to eat." Xie Man couldn't help but said, she knew that Baihe's main food was fish and some rhizome plants, Song Dalin The minced meat given last time is not enough for a small fish.

"You don't understand this. If you want to be hungry, it's almost enough to be fed for three minutes. It's best to be able to hold the medicine and fly away without the strength. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to struggle." Song Dalin Hehe smiled, and continued to let Baihe pick up the medicinal herbs.

The white crane moved mechanically, this time it didn't pick up the herb, but picked up a weed next to it. ..
"Grass, a useless thing, I picked it up wrong." Song Dalin slapped it down, causing Baihe to stagger, and then pointed to the herb and said, "Go, there, it's not this."

The white crane continued to fly, but this time it made a mistake again.
Song Dalin didn't speak, but picked up a branch very skillfully, and simply dealt with the barbs on it.
Xie Man didn't dare to say more, he knew what Song Dalin wanted to do, so he turned his head away a little bit reluctantly.

The white crane was still sluggish, it didn't know what it was going to face next, or in other words, it became numb after knowing it.

"Let you have a long memory. Next time, dare to pick up weeds for me!"

Song Dalin waved the branch, and when it was about to fall, a voice came.

"Heavenly Rescue Immeasurable Suffering."
