This wild fruit looks like chocolate beans. I ate the mouth numb and specialize in treating snake wounds. Now it costs 15 yuan per jin.

After the arrival of spring every year, all kinds of weeds grow in various places in the countryside, and at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, these weeds begin to bear fruit one after another. Farmers love these wild plants and fruits very much. in particular, there are many weeds that can be eaten as wild vegetables and can be used as herbs to cure diseases, but there are too many weeds in the countryside that not everyone knows them. Below, the author introduces a relatively strange weed, its fruit is even more peculiar.

The author remembers that when I was young, about 20 years ago, I still lived in the rural mountains, and the living conditions were not as good as they are now. When I was sick, I often went to the mountains with my mother to dig some weeds for use, or there was nothing to eat. I would go to the mountains to dig up some wild bacteria, wild vegetables and other wild game. When I was in the mountains, I would often see such a wild fruit in the mountains in July and August. It looks very much like the kind of "chocolate bean" that was very popular in the city in the 1990s. When I was a child, I secretly ate one when the adults were not paying attention. I found that it was not as delicious as the "chocolate bean", but very bitter. And my mouth went numb after eating it.

Later, when the adult saw it, he was almost beaten, saying that this thing could not be eaten and was poisonous. Later, it was only after an adult explanation that it turned out that this kind of wild fruit was called "Huangyaozi" and was regarded as a good medicinal material in many rural areas.

At that time, the countryside was not as good as it is now, and the wild was basically overgrown with weeds, especially after the arrival of summer, there were many poisonous snakes and insects in the grass in the countryside, and it was very uncomfortable for them to take a bite carelessly. Even if they encountered poisonous snakes, their lives would be in danger, but at that time, they did not have such good medical conditions as they do now, so many farmers would grind and apply yellow yam seeds to their wounds. It's used to treat snake bites.

Later, when I grew up, I learned that Huangyaozi, a wild fruit, is indeed poisonous, but it is only a small poison. Accidentally eating it will cause burning pain in the mouth, tongue, throat, numbness, salivation, nausea, vomiting and other toxic reactions. However, although it has a small poison, it is indeed a good traditional Chinese medicine. According to Chinese Materia Medica, Huangyaozi can be used as medicine, with bitter cold and small poison, and it has the effects of dispelling galls, clearing heat and detoxification, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. It can be used to treat sore throat, carbuncle, snake bite, goiter, hematemesis, hemoptysis, pertussis and other symptoms.

It is also because of these effects that Huangyaozi was often used by farmers to treat snake bites. A few days ago, I saw an old farmer friend in the village selling yellow medicine. According to the old farmer friend, this thing used to be worthless, but now there are fewer and fewer wild yellow medicine, which also causes its price to rise year after year. Now it is worth 15 yuan per jin, which is also a rare commodity.

Dear friends, did you ever see this "Huangyaozi" when you were young? Welcome to leave a message and exchange!

The author's note: because Huangyaozi has a small poison, please do not eat this kind of wild fruit by mistake. What if you accidentally eat Huangyaozi? The author knows two methods here. 1. Gastric lavage, catharsis, oral administration of egg white or kudzu paste and activated carbon. 2. Drink sugar water or intravenous drip of glucose saline, or take it internally with mung bean soup.
