Chapter 6: Calling Daddy
Xia Mu recognized all kinds of herbs one by one, and even some of the obscure ones were word-for-word, and finally convinced the shopkeeper.
At this time, a woman came from the back door, her eyes were already swollen from crying, "Uncle, have you taken your medicine?" I can't stand the pain in the sea. β
"Wait a minute, I still have a way to save one of the arms of the sea, it's up to you to try it once."
The woman wiped away her tears, "Uncle, please say, is there any way to save the arm of the sea?" β
The old shopkeeper looked at the townspeople gathered around the medicine hall and said, "This matter is complicated, let's go into the courtyard and say, Xia Mu, you also come in with me." β
When Xia Mu entered the backyard, he smelled a pungent smell of herbs, Qin Yuan sat on the edge of the hospital bed with his head down, his eyes were red as if he had cried, and the mayor of the town also looked worried, discussing something with Qi Jiang, the patrol captain on the side. When he saw the old shopkeeper come in, he asked:
"You say there's a way to keep the arm of the sea? You didn't say that. β
Hearing the sense of reproach in the words, the old shopkeeper glared, "I didn't say it just now because there was no way, but now because of this kid, there is a way." β
"Him?" The mayor frowned, "What can this Xia family kid do?" β
Qin Yuan also raised his head and looked at Xia Mu, his eyes were extremely complicated.
"The curse in the sea is actually caused by the pollution of the yin and evil qi on the submariner's body, and only the pure yang attribute can dissipate this yin and evil qi, so I bask the sea in the sun. But the sunlight can only be suppressed but not dispelled, and if you want to eradicate me, although there is a recipe but no herbs, but the disease of the sea cannot be delayed, you can only saw this arm. β
"You say it's actually a lack of herbs? The Bird Island in the swamp has a large number of herbs. β
"Of course I know the herbs of Birdyu, but the herb I need is called Nine Ginseng Grass, this herb is extremely rare, and he himself is very similar to the other two kinds of Six Ginseng Grass and Three Ginseng Grass, if you usually can find it slowly, but now the curse in the sea can't drag on overnight, and it is impossible to find Nine Ginseng Grass in such a short time, so the old man didn't say it, so as not to increase your troubles."
"Then what do you mean, Natsuki was able to find the Nine Ginseng Grass?"
The old shopkeeper nodded, "Yes, I tried him just now, and he has studied herbs very thoroughly, so he can look for nine ginseng grass." β
"But...... Xia Mu's internal strength is shallow, and that Birdyu is dangerous......"
Xia Mu gave him a blank look, this old guy, usually gives me small shoes, but now he cares about my safety, I don't know what An's heart is.
"I can find it!"
Qin Yuan suddenly roared, "I can find the Nine Ginseng Grass, the old shopkeeper, you give me a painting of the Nine Ginseng Grass, let me find it." β
Looking at Qin Yuan, who had red circles under his eyes, the old shopkeeper shook his head, "You can't do it, that Nine Ginseng Grass is extremely rare, and it is mixed with fish and dragons, it is difficult to distinguish, unless you study the science of herbal medicine, you can't identify it at all." Then he turned to Natsuki and said:
"Natsuki, although this matter is dangerous, I have cultivated you as a disciple, so I want you to go, and of course, the patrol will follow you to protect you."
[Life-saving herbs: Shopkeeper Xu entrusted you to go to Birdyu to find nine ginseng grass, do you accept the task? ] γ
γYes!γ γ
The old shopkeeper nodded, "In that case, you should set off early, here is a book that introduces how to collect, you take it to learn it first, just as an emergency." β

Natsuki followed the three patrol members down the river in a small boat. The river flows into the mountains, and the water potential increases suddenly. From time to time, hunting horned lizards appear on the rocks on both sides, crawling lazily in the sun. Whenever the big guys appeared, the group buried their heads in the cabin, and according to the patrol, the guys were basking in the sun, but they didn't mind adding breakfast to themselves. Their tongues can pop out seven meters long, sticking to hundreds of catties of objects, even the mountain monarchs in the mountains are not willing to provoke them.
[Horned lizard: low-level demon beast. Evaluation Grade: Eγ
Even if Natsuki could now slap the horned lizard into the soil with one palm, he didn't want to be licked and drooled, so he had to pretend to be honest.
"Xiao Mu, you go and comfort Qin Yuan, look at his current appearance, I'm afraid that something will happen later." Xu Jie said to Xia Mu.
Opposite Xia Mu, Qin Yuanzheng had red eyes and an expression of looking at death as if he were at home. When Xia Mu saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. Comforted:
"Hey, your dad isn't dead yet, who are you looking like a dead dad for?"
Xu Jie almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Hurriedly went up and pulled Qin Yuan, who was desperate.
"Xiaoyuan calm down! This time, Natsuki is here to help. β
"I don't want him to help!"
"And, as if I'm willing to help, it's not my dad who is dying? We're all taking risks for your father, who are you disgusting with such a stinky face? β
"You!!"
"What's wrong? Don't pretend to be filial now? You had to come with us just now to make trouble for me, didn't you? β
"Xiaomu, no matter what you say, you are all classmates, Qin Yuan and his father were injured, you can be considerate."
"Classmates? I can't afford to climb high, I'm just a little bastard with a sick father at home. can't climb the prince of Qin. "Considerate? Hehe. Natsuki is not a saint. The two have been grudging for a long time, during the school period, Qin Yuan relied on his strong physique to bully the dogs and leftover them, Xia Mu stood up for everyone, and later Xia's father was injured, Qin Yuan didn't taunt less, and now he just collected some interest.
"The surname is Xia! My father's wounds, no need to ...... Whining. Before Qin Yuan could speak, Xu Jie was covered by his mouth. Looking at Qin Yuan's aggrieved appearance, Xia Mu felt a sense of joy that the grievances accumulated for many years had been swept away.
People must be saved, otherwise the old shopkeeper can't explain it, and Qin Dahai shouldn't refuse for the injury he suffered for the sake of the village, but the revenge with Qin Yuan is also to be avenged, and he is not a masochist, he can't learn to repay the grievances with virtue, and he has the motivation to save people by himself. And after saving Qin Dahai, Qin Yuan didn't want to raise his head in front of him for the rest of his life, it was much more comfortable than breaking his legs.
Xia Mu finally knew why those heroes like to convince people with virtue, and convince people with virtue, even if I slap you, you still have to call Dad.
"Hey, call Daddy." Natsuki accidentally said what was in his heart.
"What did you say!" The bloodshot in Qin Yuan's eyes was about to ooze blood.
"Well, I said that after your father goes back, he will teach you how to repay the life-saving benefactor."
"Silence! In front of it is Bird's Island. β
Surrounded by mountains, a lake resembles a nine-day jade lake, and in the middle of the lake is a small island, full of verdant. Bird Island is famous for inhabiting many birds, these birds like to latch on to grass seeds and other things, and the island has fertile soil, so many precious medicinal herbs are grown, and now the day of the return of migratory birds has not arrived, and the island is very calm.
"Because of the breath of the bird king, the surrounding aliens dare not approach, but the bird king has been away for three months, and its shock to the surrounding aliens is slowly fading, so everyone must be cautious, if you see birds, don't make a move, our purpose is only nine ginseng grass."
After Xu Jie finished speaking, the group stared at Xia Mu directly.
"What are you all looking at me for? Hurry up and find nine ginseng grass? β
"But...... Uncle said that the nine ginseng grass is very rare, let's listen to you. β
Well, Xia Muzhen didn't know whether the old shopkeeper trusted him or tested him, and he found the nine ginseng grass mixed with fish and eyes on a huge bird island, and he really didn't know where the old shopkeeper's confidence came from.
So here's the problem...... Why did Natsuki dare to take on the task?
Xia Mu summoned Bai Xiaosheng: "Automatic pathfinding." β
An online game without automatic pathfinding is soulless, after all, the map is so big, if you rely on memory, you won't have any game experience. But Natsuki clearly overestimated the game's discipline.
[Auto pathfinding starts, which costs one copper leaf per minute.] Bai Xiaosheng's crisp voice sounded.
Natsuki watched as the copper leaf he put in his backpack instantly lost one-fifth.
It's a heartache feeling.
