Chapter 197: In front of the accompanying pockmarks, dig a pit and lead the way
Wild potatoes are just very common herbs, which are these days because of wars and frequent natural disasters, resulting in refugees pouring into the mountains to dig wild potatoes to wrap their stomachs, but in fact, in more cities, wild potatoes are not even vegetables, and what can make rich children focus on only delicacies and beauties.
The Wohuashan military camp is now in short supply of ingredients, and even the food is about to run out, at this time, a few wild potatoes can be regarded as scarce, but it is still not to the extent of desperately scrambling. When Jiang Ming said his purpose, Lin Han heard some clues, what Hailuo protected and Jiang Ming needed were not the same thing.
"Don't you want a few wild potatoes for a different taste?" Lin Han tentatively approached Jiang Ming and asked.
"Huh?" Jiang Ming was full of questions, glared at Lin Han angrily, and said, "What am I going to do with some wild potatoes, I noticed that these wild potatoes don't seem to be ordinary, so I found them, let these snake girls wait for me to dig these wild potatoes, maybe I can find a high-quality medicinal herb." β
It turned out that Jiang Ming was wandering around, and saw that Hai Luo went to the Huotou camp, so he followed out of curiosity, and through Yu Ruyi, he sensed that the aura contained in these wild potatoes was very high, and after coming to the snake girl's camp to investigate, he found that these wild potatoes were like this, and one of the wild potatoes actually reached the spiritual strength of the second-class medicinal materials, which made him more sure that there were high-grade medicinal materials in the place where the wild potatoes were dug up, and he wanted to ask Lin Han for help, but was discovered by a group of snake girls, so there was this farce.
Lin Han suddenly understood, and said: "I'll just say, you don't have any requirements for food on weekdays, why did you suddenly break into the camp tents of a few girls for a few wild potatoes, it turned out that this is the reason, I was confused by this matter, if you didn't explain it reasonably, I would have arrested you back and beaten you up." β
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You think of such a character, I really want to cry without tears, as long as the food or something can fill my stomach, it won't be long enough, where is the need for such trouble?" You still quickly let these girls tell me where that place is, I can't wait to find high-grade medicinal materials." β
Lin Han looked at Hailuo helplessly, Jiang Ming's words were also heard in his ears before, and then Hailuo looked at Jiang Ming suspiciously, although he knew that his strength and status were inferior to Jiang Ming, but he still didn't have any affection, and said, "You really didn't come for these wild potatoes?"
Jiang Ming said: "You take me to that place, no matter how many wild potatoes you dig up, they are all yours, the high-grade medicinal materials I want." "Since the last time he used a falling jade sacrifice on the remnant soul of the Night Spring, Jiang Ming has kept the words of the Night Spring in his heart, and when his remnant soul is about to dissipate again, he needs to use the medicinal materials to repair the soul again, and the grade of the medicinal materials must be higher than the last time, but where are the high-quality medicinal materials so easy to find, and it is such an unpopular medicinal material used to repair the soul, so Jiang Ming made up his mind to prepare earlier, this time he saw the opportunity to find high-grade medicinal materials, so he naturally would not give up easily.
In order to calm the turmoil, Lin Han said a few words in Hailuo's ear, and Hailuo looked at Jiang Ming and thought slightly, which could be regarded as agreeing.
There are nearly 20,000 people in the military camp of Wohua Mountain, hundreds of camps, and the distance between north and south is thousands of kilometers. Passed through a camp tent and came to a forest, although there are no soldiers stationed here, but it is still within the monitoring range of Wohua Mountain, the eyes of the sentry are like keen eagle eyes, always vigilant against the enemy from the outside world, of course, Lin Han and the three of them can be regarded as not seeing when they leave the camp.
Helo pointed to a dug clearing by the grass, and said, "This is where I found wild potatoes, but my sisters and I have searched this place and dug up almost all the wild potatoes. Hailuo hugged her shoulders, showing extremely high contempt, except for being gentle with Lin Han, she didn't seem to have a good impression of anyone else.
Jiang Ming didn't care about these at all, looked at Lin Han and said with a smile: "I should be a person who is relatively good at learning, I have searched for some books on geography and metaphysics, medicinal science, exotic scenery, humanities knowledge, martial arts cultivation and other aspects from various places, and I have been observing and reading in my spare time, so I can often get some different things, I think you have to learn this from me." β
"Me?" Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and saw that Jiang Ming had already squatted on the ground and began to dig with his bare hands, and said slowly: "You don't have to deal with so much military affairs, I'm still quite busy on weekdays, and I can't read, of course, I want to be a commander in the army, not a weak scholar." β
Jiang Ming said: "What you say is a little biased, if a person wants to achieve his goal, he must have a certain reserve of knowledge, so that he can know what he wants to do and how to change it, and then he must have enough force and strength to fight for and chase." Do you remember the scholar Wen Yaliang we met in the Ageless Peak before?"
Lin Han waved his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, I remember, what to say is to condense the Tao with Wen, although it is too arrogant, but it can be regarded as ambitious, do you want to use him as an example to convince me?"
Jiang Ming said: "Naturally it's not persuasion, I'm not a debater, how can I convince you?" He dug graves and built monuments for tens of millions of dead soldiers in the Lost Age Peak, and he was alone in the mountain road where hundreds of ghosts traveled at night, carrying out his own mission, but from this point it is enough to see that he is not ordinary. We have all personally experienced the terrifying scene of the Ageless Peak, we are more powerful than him, but we can't withstand that kind of atmosphere, let alone a weak scholar. β
"That's what I'm going to say, he once told us that he wanted to bury all the dead soldiers of the Ageless Peak, so he built a thousand graves and built a cemetery forest, just to let the dead soldiers live, he said that he wanted to be the first person in the three walls and nine wilderness to condense the Tao with literature, this kind of ambition is not so much that he is ambitious, but he is arrogant, but I am willing to believe it, because in my understanding, only people like him are worthy of achieving their goals. β
"If I want to be that kind of person, what I have to learn is his spirit and his deeds, he can tell those strange things with his words, I don't know how many books I have read to reach this level, I prefer to believe that he has become such a person through his own efforts, all I have to do is to know what is valuable to me and master it. I believe this is my path, but of course it is a bit boring. β
Lin Han patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Now you are much more powerful than me, you can have this kind of awareness, and you are already stronger than many people." I often prevaricate with my busy military affairs, so that I myself believe that I am busy, and I have to study what you have taught me, and I don't know if you have the books I need?"
Jiang Ming said: "Then I'm not sure, but if you want to come and find it, I will definitely take it out." β
Lin Han smiled, he knew that Jiang Ming had pointed out a new path for him, but he was someone who didn't need him to say gratitude.
"Brother Lin Han......" Hai Luo paused and asked softly.
Lin Han coughed lightly and said, "Hailuo, if you go back first, I will help Jiang Ming find something here." β
Hailuo's face changed, his eyes moved on Lin Han and Jiang Ming, and then he seemed to realize something, and slowly walked away with a pale face.
When Hailuo walked away, Jiang Ming suddenly stopped the movements of his hand and said, "That girl seems to have thought of something, and your tall and majestic appearance in her heart is about to collapse." β
Lin Han also looked into the distance a little distractedly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Hailuo is also poor, I will leave her in the barracks for the time being, not for this." β
Jiang Ming said, "Then what are you for? When you didn't discover their special features before, maybe you didn't have any ideas, but when you saw their extraordinary cultivation ability, you probably planned to cultivate them into a killer organization, right?"
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Ming in a daze, as if he had been spied on, Lin Han felt embarrassed at first, but he was immediately relieved, and said with a smile: "Jiang Ming, I found that you have been walking in front of me, which makes me feel a sense of crisis." β
Jiang Ming said: "Sense of crisis? I didn't grab anything from you, if there is any crisis, it won't be on these things, we are similar people, if I were in your position, maybe I would do the same." β
Lin Han said: "That can only be said to be possible, although we have no lack of tacit understanding, but it is not something that can be concealed, if there is something we must fight for one day, I am afraid that you will not let it go to me, right? Looking at your progress day by day, I have these sense of crisis, not like a fish in the throat, but like a kind of self-vigilance, I don't want to stay behind you all the time." β
Jiang Ming smiled, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said: "Don't talk about these things that you don't have, if there are those that you have to fight for, I will give them to you, although this is not very sincere, hahaha!"
Lin Han also laughed.
After a while, Jiang Ming said: "Don't talk about this, I can already feel that there is a place where the aura gathers here with Yu Ruyi, almost a meter or so deep into the ground, it is really slow to dig with bare hands, you get out of the way and let me come." β
"What are you going to do?" Lin Han asked. Dream Chinese
I saw Jiang Ming split a branch from the big tree on the side, and after tearing off the branches and leaves on the side, only a slightly crooked bare branch remained, Jiang Ming came to the place where he had marked before, his eyes slowly moved to the branch in his hand, the halberd suddenly unfolded, and the branch in his hand became a halberd, he shouted, and the power of the Jianpo style was suddenly exerted, so that the branch instantly broke through the soil and stone in the land and penetrated twenty or thirty inches, and then the ten-foot halberd was deployed again, and the surrounding soil and stone were all lifted out, and it didn't take long for a pit to appear in front of Jiang Mingγ
"Can you still use it like this?"
Lin Han was dumbfounded, looking at the soil and stones that had been dug out, he couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Come here, there is really something in here." β
I saw Jiang Ming quickly shaving the soil and stone to the side, and it didn't take long to see a black spherical thing, which actually grew from the epidermis and inserted so many long whisker roots into the soil, Jiang Ming saw its extraordinary place at a glance, and couldn't help laughing.
Lin Han said, "What is this? It doesn't look like a medicinal herb?"
"Then what do you think the medicinal herbs should look like, the kind that has flowers on the head and can live forever by smelling it?" Jiang Ming smiled teasingly, sped up the movements in his hand, and said: "I have seen from the different scenery that there is a kind of medicinal herb that is one to three meters deep underground, the roots are luxuriant, shaped like a black ball, and it has the effect of treating people's mental trance. β
Jiang Ming picked up the black ball from the dirt pit, found a sharp stone and smashed it on the black ball, and the black ball suddenly split in half, revealing the appearance of the wild potato in it, but it was as warm as jade when he reached out, not as rough as a wild potato.
Lin Han held the pockmarks in his hands and said, "This thing is very comfortable, I don't know what kind of medicinal herbs the pockmarks are?"
Jiang Ming said: "How many ranks? It should be regarded as a sixth rank, but it's a pity that the soul can't be repaired, but it should be of great value, maybe it will be useful after taking it first." β
Lin Han handed over the ground and said, "It seems that you are collecting too many things, otherwise I will change to the medicinal herb business by myself." β
Jiang Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "You think a lot, this is mine, I'll invite you to have a drink when I go back, go back, there should be no good things." β
Lin Han was speechless, a meal of wine was better than nothing.
When the two returned to the camp, they suddenly saw a rickety woman fall to the ground, Lin Han helped her up, but his defensive expression did not change, and asked, "Where are you from? Why did you appear in our barracks?"
The woman looked at Lin Han and the others, ignored them, and described them as extremely uncomfortable, so that her cheeks were a little distorted, and she still staggered forward, Lin Han saw this, raised her hand and shouted: "Come on, take it for me!"
Some of the four soldiers poured out and surrounded the woman, such a swift speed of action, the soldiers of Wohua Mountain can be said to have exercised a lot, the woman was surrounded by fear, as if she knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowed to many soldiers, and said: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Lin Han didn't move, he wasn't without mercy, but now the situation was tense, a woman of unknown origin appeared in the barracks without supervision, which was extremely suspicious If the person behind him didn't come out, he should have executed this woman on the spot. The barracks are important and talk about military orders, which are not something that anyone can easily violate.
Jiang Ming said: "This woman doesn't seem to have the ability to attack, and I see that she is weak, her lips are chapped, and her gait is faltering, she should have some kind of illness, but she doesn't need to be treated like this." β
Lin Han said: "Wait a little longer." β
At this moment, I saw a figure coming out of the camp, but it was Liang Jin's deputy general Du Henghe, he came to Lin Han and Jiang Ming, bowed slightly, and said: "Sixth Commander, Ninth Commander, this woman was rescued by my order, if you violate the military order, please punish me, don't hurt this woman again." β
Lin Han scolded: "Du Henghe, do you know when it is now to bring ordinary people to the barracks without authorization, how many heads do you have, and if you have anything else, can you afford it?"
Du Heng and Chang took a breath, and said with a bow: "Tell the six commanders, this woman was found in front of the camp gate last night, and the soldiers on duty at that time saw her faint, so they notified me to deal with it, I couldn't bear to see her die outside the camp, so I taught the soldiers to take her in temporarily, and there was always someone to supervise her, just when it was convenient for the soldiers who were taking care of him, she ran out." β
Jiang Ming said: "Is she hungry and looking for something to eat? There are a lot of refugees these years, there should be a lot of such cases." β
Du Henghe said: "I had already asked when I came, saying that I had sent food in the morning, and now I don't know why I ran out, and the soldier asked her if she didn't speak, and I couldn't know her purpose." I used to suspect that she was the enemy's spy killer, but the look at her dispelled this thought, how could a killer be so weak?"
Lin Han heard these words and said, "If that's the case, there's nothing to blame you, I'll go and ask in person who she is." β
Lin Han approached the woman, and the soldiers who had surrounded the woman before retreated one by one, and the woman looked at Lin Han with a frightened face, and shouted in a low voice: "My lord, don't kill me! I don't want to die! I escaped with great difficulty, I don't want to die!"
Lin Han asked, "Who are you, and where are you from?"
The woman shook her head, but she didn't speak again, looking at Lin Han and gasping for breath.
Lin Han snatched the halberd of the armor soldier on the side, and stabbed it in front of the woman, and he said with a fierce face: "Tell me, who are you? Where did you come from? Otherwise, I will kill you, do you understand?"
The woman was suddenly startled, and retreated three or four steps in a row, and the armor soldiers behind her blocked her back path, Lin Han approached again and shouted, "Tell me who you are, where are you from?"
The woman finally couldn't dodge, knelt on the ground, and cried, "My lord spare my life, I don't want to die, don't kill me!"
Lin said coldly: "As long as you cooperate with my questioning, I will not kill you, but if you avoid answering like this, you will die quickly." β
The woman hurriedly kowtowed, and at the same time whispered, "I am from Dongsan Village in the northern mountains and forests, and all the people there are dead. I followed the group of refugees, and they ran to many places along the way to survive, I was thirsty and hungry, but I did not dare to go into the village. I'm sick and I'm afraid other people will get it, but I don't want to die. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Jiang Ming and Lin Han were shocked at the same time, escaped from Yu Ruyi's arms, approached the woman, and pulled her sleeves up, entering a large blister, as well as the skin that was about to rot, Jiang Ming immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to step back, and after exchanging glances with Lin Han, he shouted: "Isolate all those who have directly or indirectly come into contact with this woman, and wait for the doctor's examination before dealing with it." β
"The plague is here again!"
