In the mountains in the countryside, there are all kinds of weeds and fruits, many of which are of great use. for example, some of these grasses can be eaten as wild vegetables, some weeds can be used as herbs to cure diseases, some wild fruits taste delicious, and so on, there are so many useful that even old peasant friends in the countryside may not know them.

In the past, the living conditions in the countryside were not as good as they are now. When farmers got sick, they would dig up some weeds in the wild or in the mountains to treat their diseases. Even if they found some old traditional Chinese medicine in the village, they still used herbs to cure their diseases most of the time.

The author remembers that when I was young, about 20 years ago, I was still living in the rural mountains. When I was sick, I often went to the mountains with my mother to dig some weeds for use, or when I had nothing to eat, I would go to the mountains to dig up some wild bacteria, wild vegetables and other game. When I was in the mountains, in July and August, I often saw such a kind of wild fruit. It looked like the kind of "chocolate beans" that were very popular in the city in 1990. When I was a child, I was greedy. When the adults were not paying attention, he secretly took one and found that it was not as delicious as chocolate beans, but very bitter, and his 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.
