Chapter 22: Wake up

"Mother's medicines, the effect of the medicine is the best at the beginning of spring, and after this period of time, some medicinal materials will wither, if you can find one or two herbs that make up for your father's body, it is also good to use them to supplement your father's body." Bai Jiaojiao said a little anxiously.

Bai Jiaojiao also has some concerns of her own, she wants to go to the mountain to have a look, and thank Li Jingcheng in person, and on the other hand, it is true that there is not a lot of money in the family, if you don't find some ways to make money, the whole family will wait to drink the northwest wind.

"Okay, okay, now that you've decided, so be it." Tang said helplessly.

"But, mother, you really don't want to tell Dad, if he knows that the two of us are going to Meiwu Mountain for him, then he will definitely not allow it." Qingfeng said solemnly to Tang.

"I see, don't worry. He's not in good health right now, so let's take this kind of thing one step at a time. Hide it for as long as you can. Tang said.

"Brother, then let's go to the mountain tomorrow. Taking advantage of the spring season, some herbs have sprouted, and we can also dig them up and plant them in our own yards. Bai Jiaojiao said, discussing what tools to bring.

"Okay, then I'm going to prepare." Qingfeng said.

"Actually, you don't need to prepare anything, well, it's just simple, take some realgar wine, take some mosquito repellent. The first few times I went to the mountains, I didn't see any wild beasts, so a small shovel, a knife, and a basket were enough. Bai Jiaojiao said to the breeze. Let's still follow the place we went to last time with my father, go there and take a look, this winter has passed, and I don't know if we can find any useful medicinal materials. ”

"Yes, but now we may have to go secretly, let's go a little earlier, don't be seen, if it is seen by someone, it may be uncertain and attract attention, now is an extraordinary period, and when it is stable in the future, I am taking the people in the village to do it together." Qingfeng said. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "I'll take you on a path, that path was accidentally discovered when you were a child, and it is very close from our house to the Meiwu Mountain." ”

"There is such a path, how come I have never heard of it, and I have never walked it before." Bai Jiaojiao also asked in surprise.

"It's a small road, it's very hidden, but it's a bit rough, so no one has ever walked it, so we'll have to go around it. I've never told anyone, and I haven't walked in a long time, so it's definitely overgrown with weeds. Qingfeng said with some excitement.

"That's fine, let's just walk out." Bai Jiaojiao said.

Tang watched his children work hard for this, and felt a little sad, especially his daughter, if she was in that family, she wouldn't be running for life. Tang had some tears in his eyes, endured his sour nose, and walked into the house.

On the second day, Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng got up early, and before the sun came out, some stars were shining in the sky.

"I'm ready, let's go." Qingfeng said.

Bai Jiaojiao nodded, lowered her voice and said, "You wear a little more, it's a little cold on the mountain." ”

"Don't worry, I've got two more." Qingfeng said.

Meiwu Mountain rises thousands of feet, the dangerous peaks and beautiful strange rocks are craggy, and everywhere you can see is a verdant forest and sea waves.

Standing at the foot of the mountain listening to the howling of the wolf than the ghost, and the whistling sound of the mountain wind that makes people frightened, the breeze shivered involuntarily, and the scalp was numb, not to mention that the feet were even softer and could not lift the strength. He finally understood why Mount Murwood had become a prohibitive place.

Although I have been here before, it is also around the foot of the mountain, and I am also with Dong Mingxuan.

"Yiyi, why don't we go back first." Qingfeng looked at this and retreated.

Bai Jiaojiao took a deep breath, brushed aside the thorns that were more than one person tall in front of her, raised her feet and walked in, Qingfeng also gritted her teeth and stomped her feet fiercely, and followed.

"Brother, you take a knife and make a mark all the way, don't look back, we can't find our way back." Bai Jiaojiao said because she knew that there were formations everywhere on this mountain.

Qingfeng picked up the bamboo knife in his hand, and slashed all the way along the path they had walked, all the way forward, there were trees everywhere as far as the eye could see, and of course, there would be some small surprises from time to time, such as the hare that sprang out from time to time in the dense bushes, and the elk that looked at them stupidly with wide eyes and did not know how to dodge.

It's just that whether it's a rabbit or an elk, when the breeze wants to pounce on it, they run faster than anyone else.

After trying to catch them a few times, he couldn't catch them each time, so he gave up the idea of capturing them alive

After a little further in, the low bushes were gone, replaced by towering trees the thickness of an adult's waist, and the tops of the trees could not be seen when they looked up into the sky.

"Yiyi, are we going to go inside?" Qingfeng asked with a weak heart.

It's really that the tree is too big and blocks the sun, making people feel like they are in the dark, and they are very insecure.

Bai Jiaojiao stopped, closed her eyes and listened carefully, occasionally hearing the sound of flowing water. He remembered that the first time he came to this mountain by chance, he found a water source, but then the formation changed, and he never found that water source again.

"Brother, do you hear the sound of water?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.

"The sound of water?"

Bai Jiaojiao nodded and listened with bated breath for a while, then walked in the direction of the sound of the water, followed by the breeze.

Over a hill, a cold and wet breeze came to the face, the sound of gurgling water became more and more obvious, Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng did not stop, and continued to walk forward with the sound of water.

I saw a huge rock, another piece cut across it, straight into the emerald green mountainside, like a dragon with its head raised and extraordinary.

"Yiyi, let's go further." Qingfeng said with some excitement.

Bai Jiaojiao nodded, pulled the bulge on the cliff wall and climbed up, the breeze followed, climbed halfway up the mountainside, the sound of gurgling water turned into the sound of flowing water, the more you went forward, the more you thought that the rocks under your feet also became wet, and the water droplets as thin as rain floated above your head from time to time.

"Brother, this is a waterfall." Bai Jiaojiao said in surprise.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me, I'm going to look at my feet," Qingfeng said with some concern.

Bai Jiaojiao held a bulge on her side, stood in place and took a slight breath, and by the way, she looked at the surrounding environment, as far as her eyes could see, but she saw that the rocks on both sides of the green peaks and green moons were towering, the mountains were full of green trees, and the primeval forest was nothing more than that.

Raising her head again and looking at the sky, Bai Jiaojiao didn't dare to delay any longer, and continued to walk forward with her hands on the cliff. After climbing for almost a cup of tea, a path that only allowed people to pass sideways against the wall suddenly appeared in front of me, and above the path was a slender opening, through the subtle skylight, you could see a faint flash of white light at the other end of the path.

"Brother, there's a path ahead, let's go over and have a look." Bai Jiaojiao patted the soil on her body.

Bai Jiaojiao walked up the path with the help of the cliff, and walked for about two quarters of an hour, and after a thunder roar in her ears, she finally saw the waterfall.

"Yiyi, look at the fish in the river." Qingfeng said with some surprise.

"Brother, I'll see if there are any good medicinal materials around here first." Bai Jiaojiao said calmly.

Qingfeng also hurriedly said, "I'll go with you to find it too." ”

"Brother, let's look separately, the chance of finding this is more likely to be found separately, but don't go too far, every fifty steps, be sure to shout." Bai Jiaojiao said.

The two walked separately, and before they had reached fifty steps, there was a loud cry of surprise from the breeze in their ears, "Yiyi, come over and see, is this the Dingfeng grass you said." ”

Bai Jiaojiao hurriedly walked towards Qingfeng.

"This isn't the windweed you said?" The breeze was blowing a small cluster of long, inconspicuous plants.

"Yes, yes." Bai Jiaojiao said with some surprise. There are not many people who know this plant now, it is the anesthetic in the future, which must be very useful for this world, it can relieve pain, and Dad also needs it.

"Great, Dad, with this you can relieve the pain." Qingfeng said with some excitement.

"You get it out slowly, don't break it, I'll look around again." Bai Jiaojiao said.

Qingfeng carefully pulled away the surrounding soil with a knife and slowly dug it up, as if cherishing some jazz jewelry, for fear of damaging it.

Bai Jiaojiao stepped aside, looking for it in a small way, there must be a fixed wind grass around here, find more preparations, Dong Mingxuan's injury medicine is very necessary.

Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, found the Dingfeng grass not far away, and was very surprised to dig out the very lush Dingfeng grass with a knife.

Bai Jiaojiao didn't know why she walked to the bottom of the waterfall, squatted on the rock, held the water in her hand, brushed it on her face, the water was a little cool, looking at the girl in the water from the reflection of the water, the coarse linen clothes did not cover up the beauty of this girl, the woman in the water stretched her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, the light in her almond eyes flashed, Bai Jiaojiao was a little surprised, she never paid too much attention to her appearance, but she didn't expect it to be so colorful.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the girl in the water, silently patted her face with her hand, and laughed stupidly, thinking that she really hoped that she could grow up quickly, so that she could take Li Jingcheng down, she raised her eyes and looked around, wanting to see if Li Jingcheng was around, but she didn't see any trace after looking at it for a long time.

I don't think it's a pity, I climbed high again, looked out, there was still no trace of wind and grass, I wanted to call his name, and I didn't open my mouth when I saw that the real breeze was digging away the wind grass in the gaps. It's just that the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"Brother, how many have you found in total?" Bai Jiaojiao saw that it was not early, and asked Xiang Qingfeng.

"We then split up and found two more litters." Qingfeng patted the back basket on his back, "It's full." His eyes narrowed with joy.

"Really?" Bai Jiaojiao suddenly smiled, "Great, the weather is not very good today, it's better to go back first." ”

Qingfeng also looked up at the sky, it was dark and oppressive, and the sun could not be seen, as if there would be a storm at any time, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was indeed time to go back.

Qingfeng nodded, "Hmm." It's time to go back, I'm afraid it's going to rain before I get home. ”

"Okay, then let's go to the foot of the mountain and chop a load of firewood and go back, and when we go to the town together tomorrow, we will sell this wind grass." Bai Jiaojiao said.

"Let's go, let's go down the hill and go home." Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng left along the road they came.

"Mother, we're back." Bai Jiaojiao said loudly when she entered the house.

"You have finally returned, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, you have come back safely. I've been reluctant for half a day, obedient, don't go next time, just at home, my mother will find a way to pick up some embroidery work. Tang hugged Bai Jiaojiao tightly and said.

"Mother, this harvest is very rich, I found Dingfeng grass, this medicinal material is very important to my father." Bai Jiaojiao said.

I didn't want to be listened to by Dong Mingxuan, so I couldn't sit still in the room, and I wanted to get up to take a look, but I was sweating profusely from the slightest effort, and I still got up and rubbed to the door of the house.

"Qingfeng, come here, where did you get these herbs from?" Dong Mingxuan said a little angrily.

Bai Jiaojiao saw that Dong Mingxuan looked at it just right, a little flustered, and calmed down.

"Dad, we dug it up from the mountains, and my brother and I dug up a lot, and we want to sell it in the town." Bai Jiaojiao said.
