Chapter 42: The Pit of Herbs (1)
Holding a round wooden stick and carrying a small radish, one step at a time.
The mountain loves to rain, and the fog is very heavy in the morning, and every time I run back in the morning, my pants and shoes are full of soft mud.
When she was kicked out of the twilight mansion, her clothes were covered in guffs, dirty, and there was coagulated black blood on them. Fortunately, on the second day, I found a few old clothes at the bottom of the box, which looked like they were worn by a maid, without beautiful accessories or complicated long skirts, but a bit like wide sportswear, which she wore just right.
The family gradually has a look, but the clothes are a little troublesome, she can't weave and can't be popular, so she can only settle for a while.
At this time, when I went to Luye Mountain, I had to pass through a large area of Posa Mountain, stepping into the mud puddle with both feet, splashing mud all over my trouser legs, but Du Jiu Ge was not distressed at all! At this moment, she was walking and paying attention to the nearby plants, how could she have time to care about clothes?
After passing the Posa Mountain, as soon as he entered the boundary of Luye Mountain, Twilight Jiuge couldn't help but laugh. In an area where two mountains are connected, you often have to rely on things like a road map to tell which mountain is which? Not at all!
The mountain is wet and cold, the Luye Mountain is warm, there are still footprints left when you come over, after arriving at the Luye Mountain, the loess tamping road is divided into two halves by an inexplicable line, one side is the wet soil, the other side is the dry road, as if God only rains in the Buddha Mountain, but does not give it here, it is clear!
I found a path to go up the mountain, and the wooden stick rummaged through the bushes from time to time, and it was strange, and I walked for a long time, why didn't I find a single medicinal herb?
"No, I'm not going to be that bad, am I?" Twilight muttered in a low voice...... But thinking about it carefully, it seems that after she came to the Heavenly Netherworld Continent, her luck has always been very bad. But no matter how bad it is, Mt. Luye is a mountain range famous for its many herbs, so how can it not even be seen even a little now?
The little radish turned over in the back basket, and in the basket was a plant called fluffy grass, which was very soft when dried. Soft, this thing is long in patches by the creek near the backyard, and Twilight Jiu Ge cut a lot of it back and spread it on the bed board, and put more of it in the basket to act as a protective film for valuable medicinal materials. Now the little radish seems to use the fluffy grass as comfortable cotton, and it is very comfortable to lie down.
"What's wrong with you?" It asked lazily.
She said dejectedly: "I've been walking for so long, and I haven't even found a single herb." ”
"Maybe it's because Jiang Guancheng is about to hold a medicine refining conference, right?"
Twilight Jiu Ge paused: "Alchemy Conference? ”
"I heard from a beautiful woman that Jiang Guancheng will hold a three-day alchemy conference on August 12 every year, with the intention of absorbing fresh pharmacists. At this time, there are so many people from Kyoto, Eseki Castle, and youfang medicine disciples from all over the world! ”
"What does this have to do with the fact that you can't find medicinal herbs on the mountain?"
Xiao Huang rolled his eyes: "Stupid, there are a lot of medicinal materials needed for the Medicine Refining Conference!" In addition to refining the prescribed medicines, there are also some additional stages of self-selected alchemy, and those medicinal materials need to be prepared by the pharmacist himself! So at this time, there are more people digging medicine, and the price of medicinal materials is gradually becoming much more expensive! It's almost August, and the mountains near Jiangguan City should have been dug up by the herb pickers! ”
Twilight Jiuge's heart froze, "You mean...... Am I late? ”
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
Alas...... The passing year is unfavorable, it is really unfavorable! She shook her head: "Why didn't you say it earlier, didn't I come again for nothing?" ”
