Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived a young man named An Niu. From a young age, he was curious about all sorts of strange and unusual things, often searching the mountains and forests for rare flowers and plants, or observing unusual insects. One day, An Niu discovered a plant in the depths of the forest that he had never seen before. It was entirely green, its leaves like jade, emitting a faint fragrance. An Niu had never seen such a peculiar plant. He carefully picked it and brought it home. When the villagers saw the plant An Niu brought, they were all very surprised and gathered around, gossiping. Some said it was a magical herb, others said it was the incarnation of a monster, and still others said it could cure all diseases. An Niu didn’t believe these rumors. He carefully observed and studied it, and discovered that this plant did indeed have some magical effects. He used this plant to make an ointment that helped the elderly in the village treat common illnesses, and he received unanimous praise from the villagers. From then on, An Niu’s story spread throughout the village, and people praised his curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and they were also surprised by the strange and unusual plant he had discovered.
