Chapter 456 Continual Discovery!
As everyone was ready to go into the mountain, a large crowd ran over.
Looking at this group of people, Fang Qiu asked curiously, “Who are these people?”
The young PD who was about 30 years old explained, “VJ. The show crew has assigned two people for each of you. I’m the PD and he’s the VJ. Simply put, he’s your caraman and I’m your personal director. Neither of us will appear on the cara.”
“There are so many people.” Fang Qiu nodded clearly.
There were 100 people following the 50 contestants, not to ntion the chief director who was remotely controlling the scene in the studio and the staff who ca to assist the scene.
Giving it a rough count, Fang Qiu found that there were nearly 200 people.
Central Television really lived up to its na.
It took such a large amount of manpower and material resources to record a show. No wonder the show made such a great success after it was broadcasted. All this hard work would eventually pay off.
The PD handed Fang Qiu a dicine list and said, “Here you are. This is the 18 dicinal herbs you need to find and collect in the forest.”
Fang Qiu took over the list and looked at it carefully.
It wrote, “Angelica Sinensis, White Codonopsis Pilosula, Streaky Codonopsis Pilosula, dlar, Astragalus, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Radix Hedysari, Rhubarb, Bupleurum, Glycyrrhiza, Isatis Root... ”
As expected, there were 18 dicinal herbs which were all native herbs growing in Ganzhou Province.
The PD smiled at Fang Qiu and asked, “You did well in the first two rounds. Do you find this round difficult?”
Fang Qiu smiled and replied, “Difficult? Is it?”
As Director Li Huawen ordered to start recording, Fang Qiu already knew that he was on cara, so he responded in the sa manner as before.
The PD was stunned. Getting excited, he hurriedly asked, “Oh? Do you an there is no difficulty at all? Is it because you have experience in collecting herbs in the mountains?”
Fang Qiu replied confidently, “Obviously, no one here has more mountain exploration experience than .”
The PD was ecstatic as he heard that.
He was expecting to see Fang Qiu being extrely confident.
He was aware that Fang Qiu was the main selling point of this show. Many attractive points would be generated from Fang Qiu, so he tried every ans to set Fang Qiu’s words in order to add so spice for the show.
Obviously, it seed to work.
The PD took advantage of it and imdiately asked, “If that is the case, are you positive of getting the first place?”
Fang Qiu turned his head, smiled at the cara, and said, “Ha-ha. Let tell you a secret. There is a Yaowang Mountain in our school, and there are various dicinal herbs which can also be found in most parts of the country.”
The PD froze as he heard that.
“Damn, was there such a thing?” He thought to himself.
As he was surprised, the PD looked at Fang Qiu smugly facing the cara and beca speechless.
However, in his opinion, Fang Qiu’s sense of variety was getting stronger.
Now he could just skip him and directly communicate with the audience.
After a while, all PDs and VJs had found the contestants that they needed to follow. All pre-match preparations were ready.
Director Li Huawen picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to everyone, “The competition now begins!”
As they heard the order, the contestants rushed into the forest imdiately.
However, Fang Qiu still nonchalantly stood still.
The PD asked, “Everyone rushed in. Aren’t you worry?”
Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled, carrying the package and the hoe and slowly walking towards the forest as if he was just going for a walk.
At this mont, everyone had rushed into the forest.
In this forest, the trees were not dense. And the ground was also spacious. Only a variety of grass and vine plants could be seen.
Therefore, everyone ran really fast.
However, after running about ten ters into the forest, the contestants imdiately slowed down and began to look around.
And at this ti, Fang Qiu was already left behind.
Unlike other people, Fang Qiu didn’t look around but looked into the distance.
As a guru-level martial arts practitioner, Fang Qiu who possessed the night vision could naturally see more clearly than anyone and see farther in the dayti.
The PD was puzzled when he saw Fang Qiu strolling around.
“This is a competition after all! How could he be so relaxed like that? Doesn’t he want to win?” He thought.
When the PD was about to open his mouth to ask, Fang Qiu stepped forward. Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he said to the cara, “I found a herb!”
The PD was shocked as he heard him.
Really?
While he turned around and tried to locate the herb, Fang Qiu strode into the mountains and imdiately ran to it.
The PD and VJ quickly caught up.
They took a long run.
Fang Qiu didn’t stop until he ran for almost two hundred ters.
The PD took a closer look and found that several herbs appeared in front of Fang Qiu.
The PD was surprised. “Oh my God, can you see it from such a distance?”
“This place is so spacious. Our school’s Yaowang Mountain is dozens of tis denser than this forest,” Fang Qiu replied, and imdiately found the best one, squatted down, and started collecting the herb.
While digging the herb, Fang Qiu said, “It’s the Streaky Codonopsis Pilosula, which is a kind of Codonopsis Pilosula among Chinese herbal dicineS. It’s a specialty of Ganzhou Province.
“Streaky Codonopsis Pilosula is a valuable nourishing dicinal material. According to “Explanation of dicinal Herbs”, its effect is quite similar to Ginseng. It is the top grade of Codonopsis Pilosula. It can boost the spleen without making people feel dry, nourish the stomach without being moisturizing, moisten the lung without being cold, nourish the blood, soften the skin, and boost Qi without being dry.
“Therefore, in addition to the effect of strengthening Qi, spleen, and body, it can also help to cure spleen weakness, lack of blood, tiredness, anemia, leukemia, trorrhagia and other diseases after delivery.”
After that, Fang Qiu just dug out the Codonopsis Pilosula.
Picking up the herb, Fang Qiu waved his hand directly at the cara. “La la la ...I already got one.”
Humming a song smugly, Fang Qiu put the herb into the basket behind his back.
Turning his head to look at the remaining Codonopsis Pilosula, Fang Qiu thought for a while. “Ha-ha, maybe we should dig all of them away. Then no one would be able to find this.”
After Fang Qiu said that, his eyes flashed like those of a little fox.
The PD was startled first, then gave a wry smile as he was sweating after running after Fang Qiu.
“Isn’t it too evil?” He thought.
However, he also hoped that Fang Qiu would do that.
After all, the selling point of the show would co out when Fang Qiu did so.
Just when the PD was about to ask the VJ to get the cara ready, Fang Qiu frowned and said to the cara, “Forget it, this is not good for everyone, and ... I’m a good person.”
After saying that, he gave a smile.
Turning around imdiately, he looked around while continuing to walk deep into the forest.
However, his eyes lit up again before he was about to look into it.
Seeing what he did, the PD gaped at Fang Qiu in a daze.
“No way, another one?” He thought.
He then said, “Let’s go. Keep up.”
Fang Qiu waved his hand with a bowed waist and ran quickly towards the depths of the forest.
The PD and the VJ were close behind.
This ti, after running for more than a hundred ters, Fang Qiu stopped.
Looking back at the cara, Fang Qiu pointed at a herb on the ground and said with a happy face, “This is Glycyrrhiza!”
Then he squatted down, elaborating on it as he was digging it out.
“Glycyrrhiza is a perennial herb with thick roots and rhizos. It is a Chinese herb that is good for the human body. The dicinal parts are its roots and rhizos. The dicine is cylindrical and about 25-100 cm long. The skin is different. So are tight while others are loose. Its surface is red-brown or gray-brown with bud marks. It has a slight sll and tastes sweet and special, which can clear heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and stop coughing, and cure abdominal pain.”
Fang Qiu just dug out the herb as he finished the introduction.
He raised it again in front of the cara and then put it into the basket before moving on.
The PD thought it was rather tricky now.
The purpose that the crew assigned him to follow Fang Qiu was to let him occasionally say a few words to instruct Fang Qiu to do sothing dramatic so as to add so spice to the show.
However, Fang Qiu’s performance so far was unbelievable.
Until now, others might not even find the first dicinal herb yet. But Fang Qiu had already found two of them, and they were both spotted more than a hundred ters away.
The most important thing was that looking for herbs seed quite easy for Fang Qiu. It was like he could find any herbs by randomly taking a look, which made the PD feel rather speechless.
This round seed not difficult at all for Fang Qiu.
The PD couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tell you’ve already found another one.”
Fang Qiu reached out his finger. “There is a path over there. Let’s follow that path.”
As he heard that, the PD suddenly felt relieved and then beckoned to the VJ to keep up.
As soon as he reached the side of the path, Fang Qiu stopped.
The PD asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m so lucky. I just found another herb.” Fang Qiu turned to smile at the cara and pointed at a herb on the side of the road.
He then did the sa thing again, squatting down and explaining while taking the herb.
Beside him, both the PD and the VJ were speechless.
They just started about ten minutes and Fang Qiu had already found three kinds of herbs.
How were other contestants supposed to beat him?
After taking the dicine, Fang Qiu continued to go further.
Three minutes later, Fang Qiu stopped again.
The PD subconsciously looked around the place where they were standing and didn’t find any herbs. “Why do you stop?”
Fang Qiu grinned at the cara and said, “Ha-ha. I just found another one—White Codonopsis Pilosula.”
The PD was stunned and said, “Where? There is no herb here!”
As he finished, Fang Qiu ran away and stopped in front of a thick bush. He then plucked to separate the bush.
Taking a closer look, the PD saw that there was indeed a strain of White Codonopsis Pilosula.
This ti, the PD was completely speechless.
Wasn’t Fang Qiu too lucky?
He almost found one fourth of the 18 kinds of herbs.
Fang Qiu continued to elaborate while taking the dicine.
After picking the dicine, Fang Qiu continued to move on.
After a short walk, he saw the sign prepared by the show’s crew, which ant that the area of the forest prepared by the program group stopped here and he couldn’t move forward anymore.
Although Fang Qiu wasn’t afraid of moving forward, he had to obey the rules of the show, so he stopped.
Fang Qiu said boringly, “I thought this forest was huge.”
The PD smiled wryly. “You are the one who went too fast!” This area was about three kiloters in diater. In the beginning, he was thinking that with Fang Qiu’s slow speed, it would take them a long ti to reach the end of the road even if they kept walking in the sa path. To his surprise, Fang Qiu was so fast that they could barely keep up when he accelerated.
