Wild honey is a relatively rare and precious natural medicinal food. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that honey is mild in nature, non-toxic, nourishes qi and nourishes the middle. Taking it for a long time can strengthen your ambition and prolong your life!

Those high-ranking officials and nobles are even more eager to enjoy honey. In order to taste the sweet taste, they spend a lot of money to buy it. For example, in the market in Hejianfu, a pound of top-quality wild honey can be sold for more than one or two silver dollars!

In normal years, you can buy two stones of rice for one tael of silver, which shows that the value of wild honey is so high.

The problem is that there is a certain danger in collecting honey. It requires the cooperation of courage, skills and wisdom to successfully obtain this "liquid gold!"

Xue Yu was an explorer in his previous life. He walked among the mountains and fields all year round. Sometimes when he was greedy, he would collect some wild honey and taste it. Over time, he accumulated a lot of experience.

After leaving the ruined temple, Xue Yu took a few friends to walk among the mountains and fields, searching for beehives everywhere. If it was a normal year, it would not be difficult!

However, this year the drought is severe, and a large number of flowers, plants and trees have died. Although it is early summer, it is difficult to see a few wild flowers, and naturally it is difficult to see honey bees.

"Buzz!--Buzz!"

"Boss, there are bees!"

"Okay, follow them!"

After searching for more than an hour, I finally found a large cluster of wild flowers near a stream, and there were many wild bees flying back and forth. Xue Yu and others were overjoyed and hurriedly followed their flight trajectory to search, and soon came to the bottom of a cliff!

The cliff is thirty or forty feet high, tall and steep, with broken rocks and covered with wild grass, wild vines, wild trees, and many large cracks.

The weather is clear today and the view is excellent. You can clearly see that the wild bees are in and out of the cracks. There must be hives inside. If there is a hive, there will be honeycombs!

However, it is not easy to pick honey. This cliff is a difficult situation. If it is not done properly, people will die!

"Boss, your injuries have not yet been cured. This cliff is too steep. Let's go up!" Monkey, the pheasant is a hunter's child, and he is good at crossing mountains and ridges. He came over and volunteered.

"It's okay, I'll go up. You guys get more dry firewood and come over the mugwort!"

"Boss?"

"obedient!"

"yes!"

Xue Yu is the boss who is not only smart and righteous, but more importantly, when he encounters danger, he is always the first to rush forward to protect his friends.

Of course, the first one to rush forward does not mean that one acts recklessly. Such a person can only be a thug. If he wants to become a boss, he must be both wise and brave!

There were dead branches and dead trees in the mountains. Soon a large amount of dry firewood was piled up under the cliff. Then they were lit with a scythe and turtle velvet. When the flames were blazing, they threw the collected mugwort on it!

The mugwort is very wet, and when the fire comes, thick smoke rises, it is dozens of feet high, like a huge ogre that flips around in the air, and the wild bees instantly scattered and flee... Insects are all afraid of fireworks.

Next, Xue Yu rubbed several mugwort plants into mud and applied them back and forth on his face, neck, and arms. This plant is warm in nature and bitter in taste. It can dispel cold and relieve pain, remove dampness and itch, and it has a wonderful effect on repelling mosquitoes!

Finally, I pulled a few pieces of rags and wrapped my head and face, revealing only a pair of eyes, wrists, ankles, and waist tightly wrapped, so that the wild bees can prevent them from getting in!

"You are here, monkey, pheasant and I go to the top of the road!"

"Yes, boss, be careful!"

"Don't worry!"

After everything was ready, let the man bull, tiger head, and flower snake stay in place, continue to burn mugwort and drive away the wild bee swarm. Xue Yu took the monkey and the pheasant brothers, carrying two large rolls of ropes, climbed to Yading from the slope on the other side!

I found a wild jujube tree as thick as a bucket, tied the rope firmly, tied the other end to his waist, and then dredged sand in my hand to increase friction. Xue Yu grabbed the rope, slowly slid towards the bottom, and moved his body against the rock, and soon came to a big crack...

Pulling apart the weeds, a beehive larger than a basketball is revealed inside, which is stuck in the middle of the gap. The beehive is not a whole, but is composed of more than a dozen nests perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the intervals, and is covered with regular hexagonal nests!

There are also a small number of worker bees who are fearless and fearless, guarding their homes to the death with the rolling smoke, and launching a counterattack against the "invaders". Unfortunately, Xue Yu's whole body is tightly wrapped and a large amount of mugwort is applied. The tail stings of these worker bees are useless!

One hand buckled it into the crack of the rock, the other hand pulled out the small bag and inserted it into the honeycomb. When it was pulled out, it was covered with amber sticky liquid. I licked it with my tongue. It tasted sweet and had a special floral fragrance!

Next, Xue Yu began to cut the nest spleen, and he could not cut it all away, but only cut a small half. This is the rule that has been passed down by the honey collector for thousands of years. Everything cannot be done without doing anything. A part of it must be left for honey!

In this way, some young bees can eat, so that the bee colony can grow and continue to collect the honey from a hundred flowers. Some of the honey collectors will harvest every year, and the stupid thing of fishing out of the pond cannot be done!

"Okay, put the basket down!"

"Boss?"

"Pull it up!"

With Xue Yu roaring, another rope was hanging from Yading, and a basket woven with rattan hanging on it. He put the cut nest in, shook the rope a few times, and the monkey and pheasant lifted the basket up.

Using the same method, Xue Yu searched around the cracks of Ya and cut seven or eight beehives in succession. It felt almost the same. Then he climbed back to Ya's top along the rope, and the whole process was unscathed!

"Boss, there is so much honey, enough for us to eat, and we can still sell it at the market!"

"In the future, you can earn a lot by selling honey and you will no longer have to beg for art and save yourself from being bullied by those birds!"

...

When they returned to the cliff, the friends cheered. The honey collected this time was not only quite large in quantity, but also of very good quality!

Honey also has grades:

The first grade is the nectar of lychees, longans, linden trees, locust flowers, cypresses, and wolf teeth thorns. They are water-white, or white, with transparent shape and sweet taste!

The second level is jujube flowers, cotton nectar, yellow or amber!

The third grade is the honey of black beans, buckwheat, and eucalyptus, which is dark amber and has no odor!

The fourth grade is a lot of honey, which is dark brown, with a sweet taste and a slightly irritating smell!

Most of the honey collected this time is amber, and a small amount is water-white. It is all first-class and second-class good honey. When placed on the market, it will definitely be sold at a good price and exchanged for many daily necessities!

My friends suffer all year round, and they can’t even eat coarse grains and wild vegetables. Now they see thick and sweet honey, and they drool in their greed, but they all forced themselves to hold back. No one stolen food.

Instead, I carefully wrapped the nest and prepared to take it back to the ruined temple to enjoy it with everyone, brothers and sisters, sharing the joys and sorrows!

"Haha, let's go back, the little rabbits are still waiting!" Xue Yu was also very happy. There were many mountains around the dilapidated temple, and natural resources were very rich, including pheasants, hares, honey, fungus, mushrooms, pine nuts... and many precious medicinal materials!

As long as you work harder and feed twelve people, can you take this opportunity to collect wild medicinal materials and study your medical skills carefully!

After a few years, my friends will grow up and have a richer pocket. I will take them out of the mountains and travel around the world. However, the north is not safe, so it is better to go to the south. It is best to live in Nanjing!

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, tigers sit in the dragons, flowers and willows are prosperous, gentle and rich, and there are ten miles of Qinhuai River, and countless flower boats are floating on it. I heard that there are beautiful girls on it!

"I have a love, sing it to everyone,

My heart, calm down,

...

Qinhuai flows slowly, Pangu has been here today,

The beautiful Jiangnan, the elegant and elegant Jinling,

The hall is vast and deep,

Bailuzhou, ripples of water, a paradise!"

Thinking of the beautiful life in the future, Xue Yu sang happily and twisted his butt a few times from time to time. It seems that divination may not be effective. How could he be a beggar for the rest of his life, such a handsome guy?

Xue Yu was happy, but his friends were in trouble. They covered their ears and frowned. They walked a little crookedly, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only endure it!

The boss is good at everything, smart, brave and fearless, and very righteous. He just sings too badly, just like a croaker screaming, and it hurts people's minds!

But I didn’t know myself. I sang a few words when I was happy and sang a few words when I was depressed. I sang a few words when I had nothing to do. Everyone’s ears were really distressed, but I never heard the songs my boss sang recently before. Where did he learn them from?

…………

With wild honey as a medicine introduction, the rabbit's disease was quickly cured and became lively again. Everyone also drank sweet and thick honey water!

In the days that followed, Xue Yu led his friends to go to the mountains to collect mountain goods every day, leaving some for enjoyment, and some for sale at the market, either sold for silver or exchanged for daily necessities. Finally, the problem of food and clothing was barely solved.
