The next day, when Ye Xiaoying said that she was going out to go up the mountain to collect medicine, Li Tiezhu's eyes stared at her directly, put down the basket in his hand and stood up, he clapped his hands, and then said nervously to Ye Xiaoying: "***." ”

Seeing that he was so nervous, Ye Xiaoying smiled slightly, shook her head, and stared at the basket on the ground.

"We're going to go into town every once in a while."

Li Tiezhu was stunned at first, and then he didn't understand until later. The lady must have thought that he made too few baskets, just like the last time he only sold oyster mushrooms, and he didn't take out a single basket.

But at this time, Li Tiezhu was still standing in place, he looked at Ye Xiaoying to pack everything, picked up the small bamboo basket, and dressed neatly and prepared to go out.

He rushed over first and took Ye Xiaoying's hand, "Lady, let me go, I will continue to compile this night!" ”

Ye Xiaoying pushed his hand away with a smile, raised her chin and pointed to the stool in the middle of the courtyard, "You wait for me here, I just need to pick a few herbs and come back immediately!" ”

Before she went out, she squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head, "Obediently take care of the home at home, don't let people come in casually!" ”

When Ye Xiaoying left, she could still feel Li Tiezhu standing in the courtyard staring at her.

She didn't look back, thinking that Li Tiezhu's injury hadn't completely healed last time, and although it wasn't dangerous to collect medicine, if she was accidentally injured again, she would feel even more guilty in her heart.

Although the weather is slightly hot, once you enter the mountain, the towering trees are covered with trees, sheltering from the summer sun.

The higher I climbed, the cooler the mountain breeze blew. Standing halfway up the mountain, she could see the sparse houses of the entire village, almost all of them adobe houses covered with thatched huts.

Looking up from the top of the mountain, it looks like an ugly lump of dirt. In the meantime, the house that stands out from the crowd is the tiled house of Zhou Lan's family, and the black tiles are quite conspicuous in the village.

Ye Xiaoying thought that when she had saved enough money, she would have to build a brick house, and the earthen house was dirty and not easy to take care of at all.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw two people walking down from the mountain in front of her, passing by her. One is quite strong, the other is tall and thin.

"My mother said that people in Xishan can be afraid of becoming fine, she used to find a small plant, and wanted to wait for it to grow, so she made a mark, but when she went again in a few years, she didn't have it, don't you say it's strange?" The strong man's voice was majestic.

"Someone must have dug it up! Since your mother can go, others can go too! The tall, thin, elongated voice seemed to sound a little mocking.

Ye Xiaoying suddenly remembered the names of these two people, the tall and thin one was called Wang Hu, and the other was called Li Niu, Li Niu was a stubborn temper,

The two of them walked while talking, the mountain road was quiet, and the words of the two of them clearly reached Ye Xiaoying's ears. It is always good to pick ginseng and keep it at home for later use.

She stopped and turned to stare at the two of them. The two of them didn't go far, Wang Hu obviously didn't believe it, Li Niu was anxious, "The roots of the ginseng doll after becoming sperm are like human legs, and they will also go from one place to another!" ”

Wang Hu sneered: "But it's just a legend of the older generation, and it may not be true." ”

"You don't believe it." Da Niu turned his head, obviously displeased.

The West Mountain is rich in ginseng, and Ye Xiaoying has also heard of it, but with all kinds of strange legends, that area has almost become a forbidden place.

Li Niu was short-tempered, and when he walked, he still talked about Wang Hu to make him agree with him, and they argued, all red-faced. Apparently trying to convince the other party of what he said.

Wang Hu couldn't, he turned around and saw Ye Xiaoying looking at them curiously, and then beckoned to Ye Xiaoying, "You come to comment, Li Niu said that ginseng has long legs, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Ye Xiaoying immediately shook her head.

Wang Hu smiled proudly at Li Niu and said, "It's not that I deliberately raised the bar, I told you that no one would believe it." ”

Li Niu's eyes puffed out, and at this time he simply loosened the basket of wild vegetables picked on his back, "I didn't believe that I took you to take a look, I passed by there just now, and I saw the mark left by my mother." ”

The two of them are both from Lijia Village, because they are not good at archery, they usually go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood.

Wang Hu's face turned red when he heard this, and he put down the firewood on his back, he was not convinced, and then pointed at Ye Xiaoying, "Miss Ye, you give us a witness." Let's make a bet that if what he says is true, my firewood will be his! ”

"My food belongs to him!"

The two of them first hid the vegetables and firewood, covered with a lot of branches, pulled each other's arms, argued endlessly, and prepared to go up the mountain together, but at this time Ye Xiaoying stood still.

"Miss Ye, let's go!"

She has something to do, where can she have such leisure to care about the argument between two men.

The reason why I stayed here was only because the legend in Li Niu's mouth made Ye Xiaoying's heart a little moved. She had heard the older generation say that, but it was a little mythical at the time.

She didn't believe it, but the dense forest in Xishan was sparsely populated, and there must be a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and she was repeatedly told not to set foot in it, but the curiosity in her heart reminded her from time to time.

Maybe it's a treasure that has never been explored. If she develops it, won't the current predicament be solved? , Thinking of the prosperous days in the future, Ye Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The shouting voices of the two people came, interrupting Ye Xiaoying's daydream.

Ye Xiaoying pulled the corners of her mouth: "I'm not a referee, I still have work to do!" But Li Niu looked excited, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"I hate others for saying I'm a liar the most in my life, Miss Ye, you must go and testify to us, don't you just want to collect medicine? There are countless medicinal herbs on the West Mountain, we won't delay your business, and we can even help you! ”

Ye Xiaoying still shook her head, just stood and listened to a few gossip, but she heard right and wrong. Ye Xiaoying hurriedly brushed it off, "No need, I just need to pick a few herbs, and there are quite a few nearby!" ”

She walked forward as she spoke, but Li Niu followed closely behind Ye Xiaoying, and even began to move her hands, stretching out for the bamboo basket on Ye Xiaoying's back.

"Miss Ye, you are beautiful and have the best heart, you can help me this time, Xishan is not far away, besides, even if something happens, there are two of us big men. Living in the same village, we are also good friends with Tiezhu, don't you worry about us? ”

Ye Xiaoying looked puzzled by his words, but there was no way to refute them. Because Li Tiezhu is smiling and grinning at everyone, he seems to be very friendly.
