"Sir, if you come in the spring, there will be a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, but now the only ones you can eat are wild fruits, oh, and mushrooms."

Li Shuya's hands and feet are very fast, and his mouth is also very diligent, while he was busy digging up a herb and throwing it into the back basket, he did not forget to introduce Fang Shi to them.

"Wild fruit? Is it delicious? ”

Xia Yuxin asked with interest, which reminded her of her days on Qingcheng Mountain.

"It's not delicious, it's sour, how can wild fruits be delicious."

Li Shuya's words made Xia Yuxin a little speechless, in fact, who will eat wild fruits if there are fruits to eat, and children will pick sour wild fruits to eat if they have no money.

Lou Jingzhong smiled on the side, he also did this kind of thing when he was a child, looking for wild fruits to eat all over the mountains, why was he so greedy at that time? Maybe it's because of poverty.

"It's okay here, let's rest here."

Lou Jingzhong glanced at it, the place Li Shuya chose was leeward, surrounded by stones, not far from the slope is a stream, there is nothing easy to ignite, ordinary people don't know the way, the most important thing in the mountains is fire prevention, it is absolutely wrong to build a fire like in film and television works, a gust of wind blows, sparks may cause a mountain fire, Li Shuya is experienced, so he looked for a place where there is no wind and is close to the water source to rest.

Lou Jingzhong picked up some stones and piled up a stove, and went around to pick up some dry branches, while Li Shuya put down his basket and ran into the woods, and after a while he came back with a hat and a hood of mushrooms.

Xia Yuxin had already washed the marching pot, then loaded it with stream water, and threw another piece of dried meat into it. Throw in the mushrooms that have been washed from the plum buds as well. There are also some unknown wild vegetables. When the soup has boiled a few times, the aroma will come out, and the steamed buns will be served, and a delicious lunch will be solved.

After lunch, after a little rest, everyone walked forward for more than an hour before arriving at the intended destination, Lou Jingzhong took out his Beidou mobile phone. After noting down the exact latitude and longitude, today's task is completed, and the next step is to return to the stockade before dark.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, not even a large animal, but small animals and insects are also in the same danger, there are really a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains and forests, Lou Jingzhong frowned, no wonder the wizards here like to raise Gu, it is really because the climatic conditions here are too good.

The mountainous area of southern Gan is located at the intersection of subtropical and temperate zones. The species are extremely abundant, coupled with the steep mountain environment. Particularly suitable for the life of these small animals, this area has a wide variety of species and is inaccessible, providing a good environmental foundation for the inheritance of witch culture.

For Fang Shi's upcoming expedition, the biggest danger is likely to come from these poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, not to mention that the place they are going to is a wizard's secret cave, what are the precautions inside, the first thing that comes to mind may be these living treasures adapted to local conditions.

Because they attach great importance to this matter, they have to study the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes they found along the way, Lou Jingzhong also humbly asked Li Shuya for advice, asking the locals how to expel poisonous insects and treat the bite of poisonous insects, Li Shuya did not hide his selfishness, and enthusiastically told Lou Jingzhong what he knew, and he also wrote down those who did not know what he knew, and asked the old man after returning to the village.

It was almost four o'clock, and just after turning a valley, Li Shuya, who was opening the road in front, stopped, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, sniffed hard, turned his head and said, "Someone is coming." ”

Lou Jingzhong quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, walked forward, and motioned for Fang Shi and Xia Yuxin to stay behind, and after a while, he heard the sound of tree branches breaking not far away.

"Which stockade is in front of?"

Li Shuya shouted loudly according to the rules of the mountain, because the line of sight in the mountain is blocked, if you don't shout, the other party will mistake it for a beast, and maybe you will be injured by mistake.

"We are from Sanjiazhai, where are the fellows opposite?"

"We are from Lijiazhai, why did you come here?"

"Pick medicine!"

As he spoke, the person opposite had already appeared in the field of vision, and Lou Jingzhong was slightly relieved when he saw the dress and appearance of the person opposite.

However, the people on the other side seemed to be taken aback when they saw their appearance, and soon the five people on the opposite side joined Fang Shi and them.

The leader of the medicine collection team on the opposite side was an old man with gray hair, and he was very surprised to see Fang Shi and the others, with a pair of small eyes flashing with a dazzling essence.

Fang Shi looked at this old man with some curiosity, this old man did not look simple.

"How many of them seem to be from outside the mountain?" The old man said and looked at Li Shuya deliberately, feeling a little surprised that they, outsiders, had hired a child.

Lou Jingzhong saw that Fang Shi didn't mean to speak, so he replied: "Yes, we are outsiders, and we are here for tourism." ”

"Travel, come to this kind of barren mountains and mountains? I really can't understand what people outside the mountain think in their heads. ”

The old man shook his head with a smile.

Lou Jingzhong smiled: "I just want to go to the barren mountains and mountains to a place that is inaccessible!" Such a place is the most worth going, there are not many other things outside the mountain, that is, there are many people, do you have to go to a tourist attraction with a lot of people? ”

The corner of the old man's mouth showed an incomprehensible smile: "I don't understand this, but there are not only wild beasts infested in the barren mountains and mountains here, but also countless poisonous insects, you should be careful, and don't be reluctant to spend money to find a guide." ”

Saying that, the old man glanced at Li Shuya, Li Shuya was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, the hair on his body stood up, and he looked at the old man with an angry face, but he was still very sensible and endured, and now that people were talking to Lou Jingzhong, he was not good at interjecting.

"Hehe, Xie Lu, thank you, we have our own ideas about this, are you collecting medicine?"

"Yes."

"You guys, still catch poisonous insects?"

Lou Jingzhong's eyes stopped on a row of bamboo tubes around their waists, and the old man's eyes shrank slightly: "Poisonous insects are also medicinal herbs." ”

"I see, then I wonder if you have any antidote drugs, can you sell some to us?"

"I'm sorry, but we're all for ourselves. And there is nothing superfluous. If you need it, why don't you buy it at the pharmacy? ”

Lou Jingzhong smiled: "It's not well thought out." If not, forget it, then we are going back to Lijiazhai, are you going to spend the night in the mountains so late? ”

"Yes, the herb pickers are like that."

"Well, good luck to you, we're leaving."

The two sides were ready to go their separate ways, and Fang Shi threw a Qi Hope Technique in time, judging from the results of the Qi Hope Technique. This old man is indeed an expert, but his aura is very vague, and he doesn't seem to have any special reaction to his qi magic just now, which is a bit strange.

"1,0,12, Pale Silver"

The two sides naturally moved towards their own goals, and it was not until they had gone far that Lou Jingzhong came to Fang Shi's side and said, "This group of people is not simple. ”

"How?"

"I think so." Li Shuya's ears were sharp, and he heard Fang Shi's rhetorical question. He also interjected, and Fang Shi smiled slightly. Curiously, he looked at Li Shuya and said:

"How do you see that?"

"It's not that I can see it, it's smelled, that person has a very heavy bloody smell, even the sixth grandfather in the village has not had such a heavy smell after hunting all his life, this person doesn't know what Lu Dao is for?"

Xia Yuxin looked at Li Shuya in surprise, bloody? She didn't seem to notice it, she thought that her sense of smell was also very sensitive, and as a monk, her five senses were originally more powerful than ordinary people, but she was sure that she didn't smell blood, but the smell of medicinal herbs was very strong, and there was some incense.

Fang Shi nodded secretly, this old man's body is not bloody, but dead, although it is very light, but Fang Shi still accurately captured, I didn't expect Li Shuya to feel it, on the other hand, Xia Yuxin didn't seem to feel it, Lou Jingzhong felt it, but Lou Jingzhong's feeling seemed to come more from other directions.

Fang Shi turned to Lou Jingzhong: "What basis do you have?" ”

"Their equipment, you didn't see the Beidou positioning phone? A crossbow made of carbon fiber? There are also two short shotguns hidden in the back basket, in addition, if the purpose of catching poisonous insects is to use medicine, there is no need for living animals, and they are generally directly on bamboo skewers, so why use bamboo tubes? ”

Fang Shi nodded noncommittally, his heart moved, and he turned to Xia Yuxin and said, "Yuxin, what do you think?" ”

"I think this old man is very hostile to us, especially the moment he sees us, he seems to be very concerned about our appearance, and he is also very concerned about our purpose."

"Gone?"

"No, anything else?"

Fang Shi shook his head with a smile, and under the curious expectation of the three of them, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, no matter who they are, it has nothing to do with us, maybe they are poachers, let's leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to return to the village before dark." ”

Li Shuya responded in disappointment, turned around and continued to hurry, Lou Jingzhong was a little curious, but he didn't ask, Xia Yuxin glanced at Fang Shi dissatisfiedly, she knew that Fang Shi must have said something, maybe she didn't want Li Shuya to know it, but she was really curious.

I returned to Lijiazhai all the way, and when the smoke was curling, the air was filled with the aroma of food, which made everyone's stomach growl.

Fang Shi grabbed Li Shuya, who wanted to run, and dragged him to the residence together, Aunt Li had already prepared a meal, the simple meal was fragrant, and everyone who was tired for a day ate a full meal.

After eating, Lou Jingzhong taught Li Shuya to play on the computer, and asked Uncle Li for some things that Li Shuya didn't know, Xia Yuxin tugged Fang Shi's sleeve, ran to the side of the porch and sat down, staring at Fang Shi with big eyes and asking, "Now you can talk about it, what is strange about the group of people I met in the afternoon?" ”

Fang Shi glanced at Lou Jing and others not far away, and said with a slight smile: "Don't react too much for a while." ”

"What do you mean? Is there anything surprising that can't be done? ”

Fang Shi grinned: "The amazing thing is that you always say that you have great eyes, don't you?" Why didn't you see that the old man was a colleague? ”

"Huh!?"

Xia Yuxin hurriedly covered her mouth, but everyone's eyes had already looked at her, Fang Shi grinned at Xia Yuxin, Xia Yuxin hated it. (To be continued......)
