According to legend, there is a young bachelor named Wei Wu in Changbai Mountain District. My parents died early and rely on herding sheep for the boss to make a living. He went out early and came back late every day, driving more than 40 sheep to and from nearly a hundred miles, and he was very tired.
When he was approaching his destiny, his boss saw that he was kind and willing to do so, so he betrothed the widowed maid at home to him as his wife. Wei Wu was naturally very happy and was particularly energetic when he let go of the sheep.
Who knew that because he had been in and out of the mountains and forests all year round, sitting down on woods and lying on the grass, he accumulated unspeakable diseases. His wife was in her prime and was full of energy. When she was in bed, Wei Wu was often at a disadvantage and was always disappointed. As time goes by, the wife will inevitably criticize her: Your name is Wei Wu, but it turns out that it is just a silver-like wax gun tip. Wei Wu was scolded and ashamed by his wife, and often sighed silently.
On this day, he sat on the grass and watched the sheep eat grass. I saw the husband-headed ram in the flock constantly chasing the ewe. I couldn't help but think, this old sheep is better than me! As he looked at it, he suddenly remembered: Whenever this ram mates with the ewe many times, he always goes away to eat some grass, and after he comes back, he keeps chasing the ewe. This time he was concerned about it and decided to see what happened.
He followed the old ram and saw it go to the bushes by the forest to eat an unknown grass. This grass leaves are green and shaped like apricot leaves. There are three branches and nine leaves on one, up to one or three feet tall. After eating for a while, my husband Yang seemed to have recovered his strength and ran back like a lively person.
Wei Wu is also a sophisticated and thoughtful person. He picked a big boy and asked his wife to cook for him, soaked water, eat and drink. Gradually, he felt that this grass was very useful, and his body returned to its original vitality. His wife naturally went up the mountain alone to collect this grass for him to nourish. One day, his wife went home and told Wei Wu quietly that the boss's wife often blamed the boss for not being able to do anything. Wei Wu asked his wife to help her boss's wife eat this grass for her boss.
0days passed day by day, and Wei Wu’s wife forgot about this matter. Suddenly one day, the boss called Wei Wuqiao aside and asked, "How could you know there is such a grass when you beat me?" Only then did Wei Wu tell the matter to his boss. After that, the people of Murakami gradually realized the magical effect of this grass. Because it has no name, people call it " Three-branched and Nine-Leaf Crocodile ".
This grass is the rare medicinal plant epimedium in Changbai Mountain. Wei Wu's discovery really left a very precious and strong medicinal herb for future generations!
