Chapter 9: Surprises
"Oh, the little brother is also here to dig Chinese medicine, what are the gains?" The three thick and one thin man was still quite surprised by Ma Xiaofan's answer, after all, entering Shennongjia alone in order to live is undoubtedly the same as sending him to death.
"There is no harvest, but I found a few medicinal herbs, and it has not yet reached the year I need, so I made a mark casually, and I came out, how do you seem to have come to Shennongjia to look for something?" Ma Xiaofan glanced at it, and several of them kept a heart, and said casually, he didn't dare to tell the truth, because he was empty-handed in Shennongjia, and he only carried a canvas bag, so he couldn't explain it to them.
"Yes, isn't there an old man in the family who is sick? He Shou Wu needs to be prescribed by a doctor for more than 500 years, but where can I find medicinal herbs for such a long time in modern society? This is not a way, we can only accompany the old man's granddaughter to Shennongjia to try our luck" This three thick and one fine, but they are not lying, they are really looking for He Shou Wu.
"Then have you found it? 500-year-old He Shou Wu is still very common in Shennongjia, how did you get it? It looks so embarrassing," Ma Xiaofan saw that he was sincere, so he relaxed his vigilance and replied casually.
"Don't mention it, after we came into this flying dragon frame, all the positioning instruments have failed, and what is even more unfortunate is that we seem to have been circling around here, and even the supplies have been used up, so the little brother has seen the 500-year-old He Shou Wu in Shennongjia" As the three thick and one fine words came out, the other people were in high spirits, and the girl's eyes actually showed a trace of surprise.
"By the way, little brother, why didn't you look at the bags you brought when you came in alone? at least dry food and water or something, you have to bring some" Without waiting for Ma Xiaofan to speak, he asked his doubts. Because he was born in the military and was particularly sensitive to some details, he found that this place except for Ma Xiaofan and his strange puppy, there was only a canvas bag on Ma Xiaofan's body, and nothing else.
"You said dry food and water, I ran out, and then in order to save some effort, I threw it directly in the mountain, anyway, now it's half a day's journey out of the mountain, as for the He Shou Wu you said, I've seen it before, but I'm not sure if the year is 500 years as you said" Ma Xiaofan didn't come to make a draft when he bragged, and answered their questions like the old men who squatted at the entrance of the village and basked in the sun in the countryside.
"What you said is true, you really saw He Shouwu, is this place really only half a day's walk away from the mountain?" This time it was not three thick and one thin that spoke, but the girl who was surrounded by them in the middle, but there was a hint of urgency between the words.
"It seems ~ yes" took a closer look at the girl who spoke, Ma Xiaofan's heart was pounding, although the girl's face could not hide the tiredness, and her face was still covered with dust, she looked embarrassed, Ma Xiaofan was sure that this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, better than the stars on TV.
"Little brother, let me tell you the truth, we are all active soldiers, the sick is this lady's grandfather, and also our old chief, because he urgently needs more than 500 years of He Shou Wu to save his life, so the granddaughter of the old chief insisted on coming to Shennongjia to find medicine to save the old chief's life, a few of us didn't worry about coming together, but the medicine was not found, and lost its way, so many years of training, it can be regarded as feeding the dog" The three thick and one thin are very direct, looking at the tired beauty with a look of remorse, the expression is eager to exchange his life for the life of the old chief in his Q.
"That just now I really saw a He Shou Wu over there, it looks like it's only five or six hundred years old, I'm worried that I won't be able to sell it at the price, so I didn't dig it, take a break after eating for a while, I'll take you to see, if the year is enough, you can dig it up if you need it" added some firewood to the fire, Ma Xiaofan planned to catch a red-bellied broatin chicken to roast and eat, the previous chicken was all eaten by Xiaobai, and even the bones he ate were swallowed by him.
"This gentleman, can you take us to see He Shou Wu now? We really need it, please" The beautiful girl looked at Ma Xiaofan with her hands in her hands and a pleading face.
"Oh ~ That~ I see that you are all tired, let's eat something and drink some water here first, and then we will go over when you take a rest, you can rest assured, since I said that I will take you to dig it, I will not lie to you" Looking at the girl's eyes looking at her appearance, Ma Xiaofan's heart trembled, and his speech was a little less clear, looking at the tiredness on their faces, Ma Xiaofan still did not agree to them immediately, but wanted them to eat something and drink some water, and take a rest before going.
"Brother, we would like to eat something and drink some water to rest, but now that our supplies have run out, we can't find water or objects in this vast mountain, even if we have used all the methods we have used in the wilderness survival training, we can't get water, we can't collect food, not even a living insect has found it," said the three rough crutches.
"Ah~ This is impossible, I made a red-bellied pheasant over there just now, and cleaned it by the stream next to it, how could there be no food to drink? You wait for me here, I'll go over there to make two red-bellied pheasants, this kind of chicken is very stupid, if you roar, they will be stunned and don't move, and you can catch it directly" After speaking, Ma Xiaofan didn't wait for them to react, got up and patted his buttocks, and plunged his head into the bushes in front of him, and then Xiaobai also followed up.
"You remember to add more firewood to the fire pier, I will come back in a while, and roast a few more chickens to eat when the time comes, don't let the fire go out, it is very difficult to drill wood to make fire" Ma Xiaofan was drilling in the woods in front of him, and did not forget to turn around and admonish.
Ma Xiaofan went to catch the red-bellied golden pheasant, leaving only 5 people sitting in place with a sluggish face.
"I said that the red-bellied golden pheasant is very easy to catch, you can't find food in this woods, it's too unbelievable, I watch TV in which you soldiers don't all survive in the wild" Looking at Ma Xiaofan's innocent expression, these four soldiers were so ashamed that they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Did you really catch a pheasant?" the girl looked at Ma Xiaofan with a look of surprise.
"Yes, it's very easy to catch, they are all stupid, who are you, can you go with me over there to clean up the chickens, we can come back and roast" Ma Xiaofan was not polite, and said with his fingers that grabbed two red-bellied golden chickens.
"Is there a creek here?" asked the girl, her eyes wide and surprised.
"Yes, it's over there, can you let this big brother help me clean the chickens together?" Looking at the girl's surprised expression, Ma Xiaofan asked again with a red face.
"Of course, can I come along?" asked the girl again.
"Let's go, it's close" Ma Xiaofan quickly turned his face around, and without saying much, he led the way directly in front.
After walking for less than a minute, we came to the river, which was not big, but it was unusually clear, and at a glance, there were small fish swimming around in the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the water.
"There really has to be a river, it's still so close to us, we haven't noticed" The girl's eyes widened again.
Not only did the girl feel incredible, but even the three thick and thin next to her were speechless in amazement.
"There is no problem, the water quality is first-class drinking water quality" Seeing that the stream water did not rush forward, but first took out a small thing from his body, dipped it in the water, and only said that to the girl after taking a look.
The girl hummed softly, and then stepped forward. I washed my hands first, then took a few sips of the stream water in my hands, and took out five kettles to fill them with water, and then plunged my head into the water, and drank it in one gulp.
"That big brother will help kill the chickens and clean them" Looking at the three thick and one thin, he raised his head, Ma Xiaofan was not polite, and opened his mouth directly and said.
"Little brother, just wait next to you, I can solve this kind of trivial matter alone" is worthy of being a special forces, as soon as the voice fell, he took out a saber from his body, and divided it by two to clean up a chicken, a total of 6 chickens, and it took a total of 5 minutes.
"It's worthy of being a soldier, you can get this thing really fast, if I get these chickens, I will have to get them for a long time," Ma Xiaofan said with bared teeth.
"Hello, my surname is Wei, my name is Wei Lingyun, what do you call it?" This is the girl who washed her face next to her turned her face and asked Ma Xiaofan.
"That~I... I... I call me Ma Xiaofan" Looking at Wei Lingyun's delicate face with water droplets, a pair of bright big eyes flashed, a cherry mouth under the high bridge of the nose, although he was wearing a camouflage, but it was even more heroic, Ma Xiaofan couldn't speak.
"Thank you today, you can be regarded as saving our lives" Seeing Ma Xiaofan's nervous appearance, Wei Lingyun burst into laughter.
"This big brother in your mouth is Brother Li Da, and he is a famous soldier king in our country" Seeing Ma Xiaofan's embarrassment, Wei Lingyun changed the topic very understandingly.
"I said, why is it so fast to kill chickens, it turns out to be the king of soldiers" Stopping here, Ma Xiaofan looked suddenly enlightened.
Hearing Ma Xiaoan's words, Li Da almost didn't come up in one breath, almost suffocating himself to death, hey, Wei Lingyun's face showed a rare smile.
"Don't say it, the red-bellied golden pheasant, a first-class protected animal, tastes different," Li Da muttered over there as he ate.
When the remaining three were roasting chicken, Wei Lingyun also introduced Ma Xiaofan one by one: the previous Li Da, a first-class sergeant major, was the all-round soldier king of a certain military region in the central region; Wang Ying, the third rough crutch, was a special-grade sniper of a certain military region in the central region; the other two were two thick and one thin, one was named Hou Peng, a first-class scout of a certain military region in central China; and Liu Bing, a first-class assaulter of a certain military region in central China. Together, the four of them are worth the male soldiers of a company.
"Give you Xiaobai, can you have a little bit of fun?" Looking at the few people who were gobbling up, even Wei Lingyun was full of oil, not caring about his image at all, Ma Xiaofan threw most of the remaining chickens to Xiaobai after 4 chicken legs. Xiaobai was not polite, opened his big mouth and swallowed most of the chicken three times and divided five by two, without even spitting out the bones.
"I said Xiaofan, what kind of dog are you? It's just so indiscrete, such a big chicken, it's all eaten in just a few moments," Li Da asked Ma Xiaofan, who was looking at them happily, while stuffing chicken into his mouth.
"This is Xiaobai, my partner," Ma Xiaofan didn't explain too much.
