Chapter 1704

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Xiaotian suddenly sat up from the ground, and uncle Hu also sat up from the ground in a hurry. But along Yang Xiaotian's line of sight, uncle Hu did not see anything. Yang Xiaotian didn't sleep well, but in the heart of Uncle Hu who saw Yang Xiaotian suffer so much, he was also sad.

This is a good boy. He really needs and values Roy. Of course, what's more important is that the child didn't bring his kindness to coerce him just because of his kindness and Hulu village. Use his kindness to the village as a bargaining chip to coerce him to hand over Roy.

Not only that, he still chose to continue to enter the mountain in the last dangerous situation. And compared with the last preparation, this preparation is obviously more abundant than the last one.

In fact, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of private soldiers coming to collect medicine for themselves, Yang Xiaotian would have thought about letting those powerful private soldiers come to collect medicine for themselves!

Of course, just think about it a little. After all, collecting herbs is more about Yang Xiaotian's own business, which has nothing to do with private soldiers.

The task of the private soldiers is to cooperate with him in some violent tasks. I'm afraid that this kind of medicine collection is not only ordered by the above authorities, but also required with a very serious attitude. Otherwise, those arrogant private soldiers will never do this kind of elegant medicine collection.

"Nothing. Maybe I was wrong." Yang Xiaotian shook his head in disappointment. Just now, a light flashed in the distance. At the moment when the light flashed, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had seen something flash by. That thing is a small animal, and according to the records, that little animal's favorite food is Luo AI!

"The bearded mouse." Yang Xiaotian said out the name of the animal, this animal, like quiet, a year's time, the vast majority are living underground. Usually, most of the time to plant roots as food.

Generally speaking, a bearded mouse can live for about ten years at most. Not because they don't live long, but because here, there are their natural enemies - snakes.

But snakes are afraid of realgar, and the smell of roe is very similar to realgar. More importantly, if the bearded mice can eat roentgenol, they will taste realgar.

The taste can last at least a year. This means that unless they happen to pass by the snake's mouth, the snake will leave first when it smells their realgar.

Because they live underground all the year round, the eyesight of bearded rats has not degenerated like that of moles. Instead, they have evolved a more sensitive night vision ability.

Even at night, they can catch the light from a match a kilometer away. And their noses, though not like moles, have evolved to replace their eyes.

But the special taste of roe has been deeply engraved in the gene of bearded mice.

So if you can find the bearded mouse, you can basically find Luo AI.

Of course, because the bearded mouse rarely appears, even in the animal encyclopedia, we can find the existence of this creature. The reason why Yang Xiaotian knows this mysterious animal is that he has read books for a long time in Houshan.

If not, because there is a very important connection between this animal and Luo AI, Yang Xiaotian would remember this animal when he saw it.

It's just a pity that since more than ten years have passed, Yang Xiaotian can't guarantee whether what he sees is a bearded rat.

"The bearded mouse? Did you see the bearded mouse just now Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotian's rambling words were heard by Uncle Hu. After hearing Yang Xiaotian's words, uncle Hu immediately expressed his excitement.

"Uncle Hu, do you know Qiu bearded rat?" Yang Xiaotian looked at Uncle Hu in amazement, his face was full of disbelief. He saw the bearded rat in the medical books. The bearded rat was listed separately as a guide animal to find Luo AI.

But Uncle Hu... Is he also a hidden medical expert?

But Yang Xiaotian soon put the idea aside. If Uncle Hu was really a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he would not be helpless about his son's disease.

"Well, your grandfather once told me about the bearded rat." Uncle Hu's words let Yang Xiaotian feel relieved, but at the same time, he felt that it was not very reliable.

When I first saw this bearded mouse, I saw it in medical books more than ten years ago.

But now uncle Hu's way to know the bearded rat is more unreliable than his own. He remembers the name of this mysterious animal through other people's stories.

In view of this method, Yang Xiaotian is not hopeful that uncle Hu can recognize Qiu bearded rat.

"The bearded rat is half an inch long, with a slender tail and a slender body. But the beards on both sides of the mouth are like the beards of a big man, so it's called the bearded rat." Then what uncle Hu said soon ignited the light of hope in Yang Xiaotian's heart.

What uncle Hu said is what he saw in the medical books. It's just that he has forgotten because of his age.

If you don't just use a herbal medicine, and the effect that this herbal medicine should have is exactly the effect of Artemisia argyi, I'm afraid Yang Xiaotian can't even remember Artemisia argyi!

As for the bearded mouse, if he had not just seen it, Yang Xiaotian would not remember it in his life. If he wanted to find Luo AI, the quickest, most convenient and most accurate way was to find the bearded mouse.

But looking for another herb growing together with Artemisia argyi, bixucao, has little effect.

Because although the distribution range of bixucao is a little wider than that of Artemisia argyi, it is only a little.

If you can find Bishu grass, it is basically within the line of sight - the growth area between the two will not exceed three meters at most.

The reason why luoai grows so close to Bishu grass is also because of qiubearded mice.

Although snakes are afraid of the smell of roei, they are not afraid of the smell of Bishu.

The bearded mice know that roe wormwood is an important means for them to avoid the pursuit of snakes. Naturally, snakes also know that if the bearded mice want to avoid their pursuit, they must come to ROE wormwood.

Bixucao snakes are not afraid of its smell, but because snakes often swim on it, bixucao basically has the smell of snakes.

Once the bearded mice smell this kind of natural enemy, they will be alert immediately.

This is the principle of mutual benefit and symbiosis - roei uses the smell of snakes on the tourmaline grass to avoid the natural enemy Qiu bearded rat. But Bishu grass can absorb the nutrients from the feces of a large number of Qiu bearded rats killed by snakes, and live better at the same time.

Artemisia argyi is the bait to attract the bearded mice, but even so, the number of snakes, after all, is not equal to the bearded mice.

What's more, the bearded rat usually lives underground and rarely appears on the ground. Moreover, the underground location where they live is about three meters underground.

The bearded mouse is a natural burrow digger. From the first week after birth, their claws can change from soft to hard.

But after all, animals know that they can't fish with all their might. The main roads they dig are all away from trees and grass.

On the one hand, in this way, the passage they dig out will not affect the growth of plants, so that they can have enough food sources that will not be exhausted.

On the other hand, if you dig too hard and the vegetation on it withers, their natural enemy, snakes, will notice their tracks.

And God is fair, it gives the bearded rat keen vision and not less than the mole's sense of smell. But its action ability is not particularly good.

On the one hand, they live underground, and the passage they build can be used for many years. That's why our predecessors planted trees and our descendants enjoyed the cool.

Therefore, the movement ability of the bearded rat has a certain regularity.

After getting Roe's wormwood, because they have the taste of roe, they don't need to hide in the ground every day to avoid the pursuit of snakes, as they did before.

After that, from the ground to the ground, their movement ability will become much stronger.

After a year, when the smell of roe disappears, they have to hide underground again. Because of the improvement of sports ability, their ability to dig holes will naturally be improved.

And the hole dug out can last at least until the next time Roy matures

In 30 years, only one year, the bearded rat will frequently appear on the surface of the earth. So it's not easy to investigate this mysterious animal.

"Can't you say..." Qiu bearded mouse's appearance is too special. Although it just passed away in a flash, Yang Xiaotian is basically sure that the little thing he saw just now looks like a mouse.

If you add that special shape beard on both sides of its mouth!

"Everybody, pack up quickly, let's go there and have a look!" Luo AI is very important to Yang Xiaotian, so Yang Xiaotian's voice is a little trembling after confirming the trace of Qiu bearded mouse.

"Good!" Although I don't know why Yang Xiaotian suddenly did this, since Yang Xiaotian had already said it, they naturally did it. After all, Yang Xiaotian is the highest in terms of strength and prestige.
