Chapter 84: Believe Me Right?
Hua Wu hurriedly rushed over, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Meng patted his clothes, still a little indignant, "I'm fine, thank you just now." ”
"Who is he? What was he just going to do? Hua Wu is still worried.
"Scum!" Xiao Meng smiled and spit out two words, "You don't have to care, I'm not afraid of such a person." ”
There was no obstacle when I came to Tianyou Hall, and I only met Gu Yuqiu.
Gu Yuqiu looked confident, "Xiao Meng, I know very well how much ink you have in your stomach, I will take a day off today, and I will wait here to see you lose face!" ”
Xiao Meng was not angry, and ignored her.
Gu Mingdun attached great importance to Xiao Meng, and as soon as he saw Xiao Meng coming in, he nodded his head, causing several competitors to look at Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng nodded in gratitude and sat down on the futon in his place in Tianyou Hall.
Looking around, there were a hundred people present, but there were only three women including Xiao Meng, it seems that there are indeed very few women on the way to collect medicine.
The other two women also looked at Xiao Meng. Xu often collects medicine under the sun, and the complexion of these two women is slightly dark. They are not young, they must be in their thirties. Either because of the advantage of age, or because Xiao Meng's fair complexion doesn't look like he has experience in collecting medicine, so after looking at Xiao Meng, both of them showed contempt in their eyes.
The two no longer looked at Xiao Meng, but instead looked at each other from the other, raised their eyebrows, looked at each other contemptuously, and regarded each other as competitors.
Xiao Meng didn't miss the meaning in the eyes of the two, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Originally, Xiao Meng felt that the same woman had a partner and was cordial, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them looked down on each other and became hostile to each other, and couldn't help sighing, "Their competitors, shouldn't they be everyone present?" One hundred talents are promoted to twenty to enter the finals, why do the two only stare at each other? ’
However, Xiao Meng didn't care about them either, after all, he wasn't familiar with them.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Brother Jin who was sitting in front of him turning his head to look at Xiao Meng, and when his eyes met, Brother Jin nodded and turned back indifferently.
Xiao Mengxin smiled, "This is a strong opponent for himself to compete for the top spot!" ’
After a few simple words from the head of the family, Gu Mingdun began to announce the rules for the rematch.
“…… There were 103 participants, and only 20 were selected after the event. One hundred and three of you will receive a list of medicines, and there will be two requirements on the list: the name of the medicine and the year. The difficulty of the list is comparable, and the drugs collected are very rare in the mining area. …… Another point is that in each list, there may be two to three drugs that coincide. …… The start time is from midnight to midday, and the venue is ...... Yangguan Plantation. I also have to remind everyone that there is observation throughout the whole process, and the medicine cannot be picked indiscriminately, even if it is picked, if it is picked wrong, it will be eliminated immediately. And picking more and picking less wrong is a failure, so please think twice! ”
The rules have been explained, and everyone draws numbers.
Lin Wu stood next to the person in charge of the lottery, looking at Xiao Meng with a smile, which made Xiao Meng feel infiltrated.
A number was drawn indiscriminately, and it was twenty-three.
Then, Lin Wu naturally gave Xiao Meng a list of herbs.
This process is nothing special from any point of view, but Lin Wu smiled so insidiously that Xiao Meng didn't believe that he didn't do anything.
Pick up the list and look at it, you can see the 120-year-old caviar, the 300-year-old Taiwu root, and the 240-year-old laurel leaf orchid...... Although they are relatively rare, they are not particularly precious and difficult to find, at least, Xiao Meng is very sure.
Could it be that the hands and feet are somewhere else?
After Xiao Meng repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, he returned to his position suspiciously.
More than 100 people all drew their own list of herbs, and then they were taken to a valley on the outskirts of Yingcheng, that is, Yangguan Plantation.
This plantation must be about 1,000 acres, monitored and covered, and it is impossible to do anything. Each person carried a small medicine basket, and the medicine must be placed in it, and it can only be entered but not exited.
At the beginning of the rematch, more than 100 people immediately began to search for medicine without any delay.
Everyone knows that this competition is based on quality and speed. The same task is completed, and the one who completes it first has the advantage.
Only 20 people are selected for the competition, and if the first 20 people have completed the task, then the later ones do not need to continue.
This is a race against time, Xiao Meng didn't dare to delay at all, found a high place, scanned the plantation, and combined the growth habits of the herbs in the list with the distribution of the plantation landform, and immediately came up with a route.
Half an hour later, Xiao Meng saw a suitable year of Guiye Orchid on the small slope.
This is a large shrub plant, which is easier to find, but it is more difficult to determine the year.
When Xiao dreamed of it, there were already several people over there, arguing about the year of the laurel leaf orchid.
Coincidentally, both women were there, they were acting cautiously, they were judging carefully, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.
You know, if you misjudge, they're out.
There is another one, Xiao Meng remembers that his name is Xu Zhuang, a man with a big black mole on the side of his nose.
Xu Zhuang touched the bark of the Guiye Orchid and swore an oath, "I have dealt with Guiye Orchid since I was a child, and I took care of the plantation where I am, how many Guiye Orchids." I only have to look at the stem of the laurel leaf orchid to immediately determine its age. I can guarantee that this laurel leaf orchid, which is only one hundred and eighty years old, definitely does not meet the requirements! ”
"I don't believe it, how can you help me? We're a competitor! ”
Xu Zhuang smiled and looked at one of them with very upright facial features, and his words were very gentle, "If you are a man, I am happy to see you out, but for women, I Xu Zhuang has always been pityful." I casually offered a favor, and it would be a blessing if I had more than one woman in the herb collector's group. ”
These words made the two women very proud and complacent, and they almost believed Xu Zhuang.
At this time, Xiao Meng turned out. Xiao Meng glanced at Xu Zhuang amusedly, walked straight over, and directly cut a branch of laurel and orchid under the gaze and ridicule of the two women, and put it in the medicine basket.
"Ugh!"
Xu Zhuang opened his mouth slightly, very shocked.
The other two women thought that Xu Zhuang was pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade again, but they didn't know that Xu Zhuang said so much to make the two women who couldn't make up their minds believe his lies, thinking that this laurel leaf orchid really did not meet the requirements.
In fact, Xu Zhuang was sure that this laurel leaf orchid was indeed two hundred and forty years old, and the entire plantation, he took a look, and this one met the requirements.
In order to reduce the number of competitors, he coaxed two women. I don't want Xiao Meng to hear what he said, but he still didn't hesitate to believe his judgment and picked this laurel leaf orchid.
That's a lot of confidence and strength.
Therefore, Xu Zhuang was shocked and thought in shock, this Xiao Meng really has a few moments.
Seeing that Xiao Meng picked it down, the good-looking woman ridiculed Xiao Meng, "You don't have to be busy anymore, you will be out of the game if you take the wrong medicine!" ”
Xiao Meng replied with a smile, "I'm going to pick two hundred and forty years, this is, isn't it?" ”
"Whatever you want, hehe, I'll go look elsewhere!" Then he glanced defiantly at the other woman and gloated away.
Xiao Meng shook his head, glanced at Xu Zhuang, who no longer spoke, and left to continue looking for medicine.
The other one who was still on the side of Gui Yelan hesitated for a while and asked Xu Zhuangdao, "Should I believe you or not?" ”
Xu Zhuang recovered from the shock and said with a smile, "Believe me right, that Xiao Meng is just a layman, and he can compare with me." Don't worry, I won't hurt you! ”
"Well, I'll believe you!"
Seeing Xu Zhuang's friendly appearance, the half-believing woman finally chose to believe it.
And when she left, Xu Zhuang turned his head and picked a branch of laurel leaf orchid.
