Chapter 209: Don't taste herbs with your mouth anymore
"In that case, the people in the nearby villages must have some knowledge of this forest, so let's promise them some silver and let them help us find it?"
Duan Ling thought about it for a while and came up with a solution.
"That's a good way for you, let's go out and ask!" Lin Liang was immediately overjoyed.
Just do it, fortunately, when the two of them came out this time, they still brought some silver with them.
The villagers of the nearby villages were still very kind-hearted, and when they heard that someone not far from them was suffering from the plague and needed this herb to cure the disease, some young men who were more familiar with the forest took the initiative to stand up.
"We won't let you big brothers work hard in vain, anyone who finds wisteria grass can talk to us, and we will pay according to the number of herbs found."
Lin Liang pinched the money bag in his hand, thinking in his heart that he didn't know if the money he brought this time was enough.
After thinking about it for a while, Duan Ling took the initiative to say.
"This time we are not very well prepared, if we don't have enough money, please give us some time. Perhaps, it is okay to follow us back to the county government, and we will definitely settle the bill for everyone on the same day. ”
"It doesn't have to be."
The middle-aged man standing at the front with a simple smile shook his head.
"I know that you are for the victims of the previous flood over there, you are well-wishers, and we are familiar with the forest. The herbs are of little use to us, so we can just pick them for you. ”
"Then thank you a few big brothers." Lin Liang bowed deeply to them.
"Then let's split up, and let me know if we find it."
Just now, Lin Liang also borrowed a few pieces of blank paper from the houses of several villagers, as well as brushes.
According to the shape of the wisteria grass described in the book, I traced several sheets in great detail, and handed them a few each.
Then the group divided into several roads and began to run in different directions to find them.
Seeing that the sun was setting west, because of the long trek, Lin Liang's feet in simple cloth shoes were so painful that he couldn't do it, and he still didn't get anything.
There are many similar herbs found, but they are always different from those in the book.
"Next time, you're not allowed to taste herbs with your mouth again, understand?"
Seeing the purple stained next to the corners of Lin Liang's lips, Duan Ling suddenly became angry.
"I really think that herbs are the same as eating normally, if you eat the wrong one, how can I treat you?"
"Am I not in a hurry? And these two also look too similar, I want to try to see if it's the same as described in the book, the taste is a little sour, if so, then let's find the right one? ”
Lin Liang retorted in a particularly low voice, obviously lacking confidence.
"Even if they look similar, then you have to go back and ask the doctor, what if you are so reckless to send it into your mouth, what if you faint? How can I explain to Mrs. Lin and Master Lin? ”
"I know, I won't dare next time." Lin Liang pulled Duan Ling's sleeve, knowing that this time he was too reckless, so he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Okay, don't be too anxious, aren't there still a lot of people to help us? Definitely able to find it. ”
However, the two of them had always had hope in their hearts, but it was not until they arrived at the agreed place that they met with the villagers who had helped them find the wisteria grass before.
Many of them had herbs in their hands that looked similar to wisteria, but they were not the ones described in the book.
Seeing the brilliance on Lin Liang's face change from expectation to disappointment, Duan Ling was also a little unbearable in his heart.
The middle-aged man at the front who was smiling very honestly hurriedly comforted her.
After all, it's a girl who looks about the same age as her own daughter, and it's rare to be able to be so kind and want to help others.
"Don't be in a hurry, girl. We'll come back tomorrow to help you find it, and in the evening the forest is a little dangerous. ”
"I know, thank you for your hard work today."
Lin Liang half-squatted down at them and saluted.
"May I ask if there are any restaurants or anything like this nearby, I want to invite a few uncles and brothers to dinner, it's too much trouble for you today."
"No need, no need!" Those men were very honest people.
"Speaking of which, it's the first time you've come to us, logically speaking, we should do our landlord's friendship and invite you to have a meal, if you don't mind, come with us."
"How good is that?" Lin Liang didn't expect that this stranger who met for the first time would be so kind, simple and easy to get along with them, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
"What's wrong with that, meeting is fate! As long as the two of you don't dislike the food cooked by us people in the village, it's just that. ”
"No, no, no!" Lin Liang hurriedly shook his head.
"A few are too polite, and we're not picky people."
"That's right." Duan Ling also nodded.
"Come, let's go to this uncle's house, how about a mixed meal?"
"Okay." Although he didn't find wisteria grass for the time being, after knowing these simple villagers, Lin Liang was also slightly comforted in his heart.
I'm silently doing self-construction in my heart, and I'll look for it tomorrow, maybe I'll find it.
Lin Liang followed the uncle just now to the place where they lived, and when he saw it, it was a gate made of wood, and there was a fence nailed next to it.
There are all kinds of vegetables planted in it, and there is always a natural pastoral scenery, which makes Lin Liang like it at a glance.
Quietly pulled Duan Ling's sleeve: "In the future, can we also have such a yard outside?" During the day, I raise chickens and ducks and grow vegetables, which is quite interesting to think about. ”
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to see the mountains and rivers of the world with me? Why, now that the desire has become so low, just want a farmhouse? ”
Duan Ling saw that her mood was already a little better now, took Lin Liang's hand, and quipped.
"I'm talking about when we're old. When you're young, you always have to go out and see, but it's really nice to have a yard like this. ”
As soon as the uncle entered, a woman in a coarse cloth dress came out of it.
However, although the clothes are simple, the smile on his face is very sincere.
"Master, are these the two distinguished guests you said were coming to our side for dinner tonight?"
"That's right, these are the two people who asked us to help find wisteria, and they came from the county order. Quickly kill a chicken and make up for the two distinguished guests, they have also worked hard today. ”
"No, no, no!" Lin Liang noticed that there were only a few chickens in the yard, and there was still a flock of chickens behind him, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"This uncle, to tell you the truth, we are tired of eating those greasy ones on weekdays, and we want to eat something very wild when we come here."
