Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lost

But is that really the case? The two of them may not be sincere, but Ye Xiaoying is more vigilant.

When they insisted that she go forward with them, Ye Xiaoying vetoed again and again, "Xishan is too far away, I don't know the way, and besides, your bet is meaningless." ”

She said as she wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

Regarding what Ye Xiaoying said, Da Niu didn't refute her, but just pointed at Wang Hu and snorted, "Every time I talk about it, he says that I am bragging, there are a lot of ginseng in Xishan, and every time my mother sees a seedling, she will tie it with a rope." ”

If even ginseng can be made into essence, then there must be a lot of other medicinal materials.

Ye Xiaoying became more and more excited. Wang Hu was powerful, he reached out and ripped off the bamboo basket on Ye Xiaoying's back, and carried it on his back neatly.

"Just tell us which herbs are herbs and we'll pick them for you. Walk from this road for half an hour to the West Mountain, although the road is a little farther, but there are many medicinal materials, in fact, it takes the same time. ”

Wang Hu was referring to a remote path that stretched out to an unknown place, and Ye Xiaoying had never walked before. The trail is overgrown with weeds, and there are very few people walking around it.

Ye Xiaoying stood at the fork in the road, hesitating slightly, but Wang Hu among them had already strode forward with her bamboo basket on her back.

Isn't it just to take a glance and see if the so-called legend is true, and the two of them will go with them if they have a dispute, and there is no danger in finding some rare herbs along the way, and then returning with them.

Ye Xiaoying gritted her teeth, and then followed behind them. It's just that the more she walked, the more frightened Ye Xiaoying became, and there was a section of the road that was almost clinging to the mountain wall.

turned around and walked on the cliff, the small stone under her feet rolled down the cliff, silently, the wind blew on Ye Xiaoying's body, and her body was unaware.

At the same time, her legs were also weak, she wanted to go back, it was not cost-effective to put her life here in vain, but the two people in front of her walked like flying, and there was no impact on them Ye Xiaoying wanted to speak, but the bamboo basket was already in the distance.

Her scalp was numb, and she had to grit her teeth, secretly gasp for a cool breath, and walked over with a shudder. After passing this dangerous road, she only felt her legs go limp, and she leaned against the trunk of the tree and gasped.

She didn't want to go any further, and after catching her breath, she only heard the sound of rustling footsteps in the distance. The two of them hurried forward in silence.

In the dense jungle, only a moment later, the figures of the two gradually faded away.

Ye Xiaoying stared in their direction and shouted, "You wait for me!" But the two of them didn't seem to hear it, and their backs became fading more and more.

Looking around and looking at the road when she came, Ye Xiaoying had no choice but to catch up.

I don't know if it's because it's close to the West Mountain, so the two of them are getting more and more excited, and they are used to walking on mountain roads, and they step forward without stopping.

After only a few trotting steps, Ye Xiaoying was panting, and in the end, she was no longer able to breathe and sat down on the root of the tree. That's it, Ye Xiaoying thought about not chasing, at most she would go back the way she came.

Ye Xiaoying closed her eyes, thinking that soon, they would definitely return, but left and right, there was no figure at all.

The sun casts dappled shadows through the dense foliage. With her feet stepping on the layers of dense fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, Ye Xiaoying paced back and forth restlessly.

She suddenly became nervous, this was a place she had never been before, she had been able to run into wolves in the woods before, and this place might be even more dangerous!

Ye Xiaoying saw a thick branch not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to break the thin trunk on the side, and held the slender one in her hand, so Ye Xiaoying walked back.

thought it would be very simple, but Ye Xiaoying found that she was lost.

She walked around for a long time, and every time she looked at the scenery, it was always difficult to find the cliff she had walked before, as long as she gritted her teeth and crossed that cliff, she could find her way back. Now it's just going around in the woods.

How good is that? Before you know it, an hour has passed, and your stomach is rumbling, which is secondary, and the key is that if you haven't found your way back after dark, you have to spend the night here.

She didn't stop until she was exhausted, but she still stumbled like a headless fly.

Ye Xiaoying sat weakly on the ground. There seemed to be a sound in the grass next to her, Ye Xiaoying was worried that there were snakes and insects, and then flicked the stick in her hand, trying to expel it, but she suddenly jumped up.

There was actually a ginseng plant in the dense grass, and not far from her, it was also an umbrella-shaped Ganoderma lucidum.

Ye Xiaoying hurriedly rushed over, she carefully brushed away the surrounding weeds, carefully picked them down, and put them in her arms, the ginseng was not big, only two fingers wide, sure enough, Xishan was full of treasures, only a moment of joy, Ye Xiaoying remembered the current situation, and still sat on the ground.

Her hand was unconsciously placed on her waist, "If you can't get out, no matter how valuable the medicinal herbs are, they are just things outside the body." ”

"Help!" A faint voice came from the east, and Ye Xiaoying was startled. How can there be people nearby, and their voices are old and weak?

She couldn't help but think of the myth that the big cow had told before, that ginseng grew legs because after a certain age, they would turn into white-haired men, so they would secretly flee from their places in order not to be poached.

These are all vague impressions of her childhood, and I don't know where to hear them, as if her family told her when she first remembered.

At this time, Ye Xiaoying's childhood memories suddenly came to her heart, listening to the fainter and weaker voice of help, she became more and more sure, so she also seemed hesitant when she approached the past.

In the spirit of the benevolence of the doctor, Ye Xiaoying really couldn't help it, and still approached the past.

She noticed an old man with gray hair curled up at the bottom of the hillside not far away, the grass on the hillside flattened against the ground, and it was evident that he had rolled down from a height.

Now that she was afraid that she was injured, Ye Xiaoying couldn't take care of the others anymore, and hurriedly ran forward, standing on the hillside and shouting down: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

"Help!" It's still just these two words, the sound is subtle, and it seems that the situation is not good.

Ye Xiaoying sat on the ground and slid down the hillside, although her whole body was scraped by the branches and thorns on the side, Ye Xiaoying had no time to care.

He was a lean old man with a bow and arrows on his back. It was as if he had been hit on his forehead, and the blood had already coagulated and blackened, so it seemed that he had been lying here for a while.

His eyes were closed, his lips twitched, and he seemed to have sensed that someone was coming, so he didn't speak and shout again, conserving his strength.

Before going up the mountain, Ye Xiaoying had already prepared medicine to prevent bruises.
