Chapter 256: Up the Mountain
Xing Lao was a little surprised, "Your eyes are exquisite, just by looking at it, you can see if it meets your requirements, and the ruler I just brought seems to be useless." ”
Gu Shenwan smiled, "It's just a glance, and it's just a rough estimate, so I will take it away first to make you laugh." ”
"Wait." Before she took the knife away completely, Xing Lao suddenly stretched out his hand and held it, "You can take this knife, or I don't want to talk about good money, now your identity is different, I still have heard of this." ”
"But one thing, tell me what you're going to do."
Gu Shenwan was already waiting for her, thinking that she was going to do something, but she didn't expect to ask her what she was going to do now.
Of course, the truth cannot be said, but if no one can distinguish the truth from the false, the false is equivalent to the truth.
She had more strength in her hands, put away the knife, and pinned it tightly around her waist, "I want to go up the mountain to sample, but most of the medicinal materials I can buy are concocted, I heard that the surrounding mountains are quite rich in herbs, so I am ready to try my luck." ”
Xing Lao didn't ask, and he didn't ask whether it was true or not, "There are indispensable things for self-defense along the way, you are ready, I still have some idle inventory here......"
"That's not necessary, I naturally have my own self-defense, I don't need to bring these things, it will increase the burden." Gu Shenwan was still a little uncomfortable in the face of good intentions.
After all, I suffered a big loss here before, and I really don't have any good memories, and I don't want to stay here longer, and I don't know what kind of purpose Xing Lao has.
He saw it, quietly widened the distance between the two, and invited the person out coldly.
After Gu Shendui left, he immediately sent a message to the East Palace, after all, she had a master who worked hard for her, so she naturally had to pay attention to all the orders given by her master.
Gu Shenwan walked on the road and took out the knife again to take a look, the workmanship was impeccable, it looked extremely sharp, but he hadn't tried it exactly, but he couldn't know how sharp it was.
She thought about it and quickly left the city, and when she came to the outskirts, the first thing she did was to cut the branches with the knife in her hand.
With a click, the branch snapped, and the incision was so smooth that there were barely burrs.
"The sharpness is very high, but I don't know if these blood sugars can be as imagined, more convenient for bloodletting than ordinary weapons, and fatal with one blow."
The best weapon for bloodletting is naturally the lancet, which can maximize the magnification of the wound and expand the injury.
This knife is wide and heavy in the hand, with a heavy sense of weight, but even with her physique, it will not be too heavy, at least there will be no sense of stagnation when using it.
She made a few directions, and then headed for the mountain she had inquired about.
There are often a lot of medicinal herbs growing on that mountain, most of them are some years ago, but they are enough for ordinary people to pick some medicinal herbs and come back to improve their ordinary life.
Of course, in some deep mountains, there are often some unexpected harvests, which belong to the medicine mountains with low danger and relatively rich products.
But the purpose of his visit to this mountain was not really to collect medicine, but to hear that the nearest troops to the capital were stationed in that area, and people often encountered danger in the middle of collecting medicine, and someone helped after shouting for help.
Many people speculated that the army was stationed there, but no one had seen it with their own eyes. After all, the location of the barracks is a secret among secrets, and it is impossible for outsiders to know about it.
"Hu ......" walked all the way and only saw some people who came to collect medicine like him, because there was still a competitive relationship between them, so he did not receive any special treatment, and some people even looked down on her quite unpleasantly.
I wanted to find traces of people who often move around in this mountain, but when I arrived at the place, I realized that even if it was indeed a big mountain, it was not inaccessible, and at least a few miles of walking could meet about one person.
Most of them are collecting herbs, and there are also some woodcutters or hunter kings who don't have much communication with each other, but they are just passing by.
In order to be able to see more clearly, I can only pretend not to know and climb all the way to a higher place.
"Eucommia tree?"
No matter how suitable it is for the growth of medicinal herbs on a mountain, the variety should be very limited, and I haven't seen it elsewhere, but on this side, there are a few eucommia trees that look quite old.
Gu Shendui still collected some of them and wrote down the location.
Eucommia is a plant that is a little special, not only for medicinal purposes but also rich in gelatin, and although she knows about it, she doesn't know how to use it.
However, its high gum content is difficult for other plants to match.
The more you go inside, the more difficult it is to see people, and generally people who come to collect medicine will not go to the depths of the mountains and will compete The more you go inside, the more likely you are to encounter danger.
There weren't too many people in sight, weeds reborn here and there, and a few trails that looked dark and not obvious occasionally saw traps set by veteran hunters.
In this mountainous area, the rare path can only be a passage that animals often walk, so it is naturally easier to hunt.
Among these traces, it was not difficult to find the traces of people, and when I went to the highest place to look, I soon found traces of human activity with the astonishing purpose of today, and there were a large number of people.
"Whew!"
Gu Shendui suddenly stopped, hid himself behind a big tree, slowed his breathing, and looked at the bloody hunt not far away.
A pack of wolves, numbering about a dozen or so, attacked around a lone wild boar.
The battle was almost over, and it seemed that it had been a stalemate for some time, and both sides had already hung up their colors, just waiting for the other side to hold on to win the final victory.
In the end, it was the wolves who took down the wild boar with a spirit of regret and fearlessness.
Gu Shendui waited for the group of wolves to simply clean up the prey, ate some of the red, and quickly rushed over, sprinkling some medicinal powder on the remaining carcasses of the wild boar.
As much as possible, I sprinkled all the drugs that brought all the anesthetic effects on my body, and at this time, I didn't care whether it was uniform or not, so I could only sprinkle it indiscriminately.
In a hurry, he ran to hide behind a big tree, and covered himself with the help of a bush.
Soon after the wolves left, other animals smelled blood and rushed over, including a big tiger.
The tiger himself monopolized a large part of the first glory, and finally left satisfied, and collapsed after just two steps, unconscious.
