Chapter 47 Into the Mountains

The day after they arrived at the village, Dr. Sun Jian took Juniper to discuss matters with the village chief, and looked at the herbs that the villagers had picked for nearly a year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Qing Yao and the others wandered around the village to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

Early in the morning of the third day.

When the sky was still dark, the village chief's house was already filled with the sound of everyone's conversation.

"Let's have breakfast first."

The village chief's wife beckoned everyone to take their seats.

Qing Yao had received Sun Jian's reminder the day before, so she had already gotten up before it was dark.

"Miss Qingyao, everything is packed up, right?"

Sun Jian slowly walked to her side and asked softly.

"Mr. Sun, I'm all ready."

Qing Yao pinched the cloth bag on her back and replied in a low voice.

"Well, when it gets light, we'll go up the mountain."

"yes, I see."

Qing Yao deliberately changed into a coarse cloth dress for today's action in the mountains, and put on a wear-resistant linen dress outside.

Sun Jian examined her clothes and nodded slightly.

"Alright, you wait here for a while, I'll go see who hasn't come."

"Okay." Qing Yao nodded in reply.

"I don't know how many days I'll have to stay in the mountains this time, but I hope everything will go well this time......"

Qing Yao thought about the difficulty of finding the fairy grass, and lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

The morning sun was revealed, and the group was ready to go.

Qing Yao silently counted the number of people in this operation while closely following behind Juniper.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, be careful."

Juniper stretched out his hand to help Qing Yao, who almost fell because the hillside was slippery.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Juniper."

"You're welcome, let's go."

When a group of eight people slowly disappeared into the dense forest, a figure appeared behind everyone.

Qi Guan Junyao looked at the back of the crowd leaving, hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed.

At this moment, Zuo Shi Ling'er came to the village chief's house.

"Sister Qingyao, where are you?"

The village chief's wife, who was tidying up the house, walked out briskly when she heard a soft call from outside the courtyard.

"Miss Zuo, Miss Qingyao has entered the mountain."

"Into the mountains?" When Zuo Shi Ling'er heard this, he frowned slightly in confusion.

"Yes, I went into the mountains early in the morning to look for fairy grass."

Under the other party's reminder, Zuo Shi Ling'er finally remembered the reason why Qing Yao entered the mountain.

"I want to go to ...... too"

She muttered, and walked slowly out with the maid in frustration.

After seeing the young sister's lost expression, Zuo Shi Ruihao asked softly: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Brother, Sister Qingyao, they have entered the mountain."

Zuo Shi Ling'er raised his eyes to look at his brother and said with some grievances.

Zuo Shi Ruihao saw what the other party was thinking at a glance. "You want to go too, right?"

"yes, but they won't take me."

"In that case, you can play around here."

Zuo Shi Ruihao stroked the top of his young sister's hair and said gently.

Regardless of what the two people here said afterwards, the group of people who entered the mountain had successfully reached the first rest point at this moment.

Because no one knew if they would be able to find the fairy grass smoothly this time, they had to prepare for tonight's rest as soon as they arrived.

"Come and smoke this place."

The leader pointed to the inside of the stone house and beckoned to the others.

The old village chief's body was no longer suitable for a long stay in the mountains, so the leader of the team this time was a relative of the other party, a man in his thirties.

The other four teammates are three men and one woman, and the woman is the wife of the leader.

The reason why the team is so arranged is also to take care of Qing Yao, who is a woman.

If the team is full of men, it will be a little inconvenient for her.

"Aunt Xiulan, are we going to rest here tonight?"

Qing Yao asked the woman beside her while helping to clean up.

Xiulan turned her head to look over and replied softly, "Yes, this time I plan to stay in the mountains for five days, and we will all spend the night here during these five days." ”

"Five Days ......"

Qing Yao listened to the other party's answer and muttered in her heart.

The number of days planned this time was not far from what she had guessed in her heart.

After smoking the stone house with burning branches, the crowd began to put their large luggage into it.

When everything was put together, it was past noon.

After everyone had lunch and rested for a while, they began to set off to look for fairy grass.

As the team slowly advanced, the surrounding trees grew more and more lush.

"Everyone, keep an eye on your step."

Naturally, the leader beckoned to those behind him, and used his axe to split the branches and shrubs that stood in front of him.

Qing Yao walked silently in the middle of the crowd, her feet on the thick leaves, always giving her the illusion that she couldn't stand steadily.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, are you okay?"

Juniper looked back at her behind him and said with concern.

"It's fine." Qing Yao replied softly.

"Here's for you." Juniper said, handing over the branch in his hand. "Although it's only early summer and we're a group of people, we still have to pay attention to any snakes hiding in the grass."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Juniper."

Qing Yao naturally understood that there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants between the mountains and forests, so after taking the branch that the other party gave her, she nodded lightly.

"Well, the mountain road is uneven, be careful not to get to your feet."

"Yes, I know."

"Let's go." Juniper saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he walked quickly to Sun Jian's side.

The group walked and stopped, their eyes carefully scanning the suspicious blades of grass on the ground.

Before the sun set, the group returned to their footing.

"Hoo ......"

After walking the mountain road for a day, Qing Yao could only sit on the stone and gasp.

"The fairy grass is getting harder and harder to find now, and tomorrow I will have to go to the old place to see."

The leader sighed and said after taking a sip of the tea he had brought.

Although no one expected to find the fairy grass on the first day, it was really frustrating to find even a seedling of the fairy grass after walking all over the mountain.

The others also understood the problem and collectively nodded in agreement: "At present, it seems that this is the only way to do it." ”

Whether or not the fairy grass can be collected is related to the livelihood, which is also a concern and thing for the villagers.

Qing Yao pressed her tired legs lightly and silently looked at the few people talking over there.

"Qingyao girl, come here."

"Mr. Sun......"

Qing Yao walked over slowly after hearing Sun Jian's shout.

"You come and recognize these herbs."

"Hmmm......"

Qing Yao smiled and nodded, slowly picked up one of the branches and leaves, and carefully distinguished them.

The villagers were frustrated that there was no trace of the meaning of the fairy grass, but Sun Jian found many other medicinal herbs in the middle of the mountain forest.

However, because it was not convenient to deal with it now, he only picked a few medicinal plants that would be used in the next few days.
