Vito is actually right, if it is only this forest within the field of vision, the edge part of the current foot, almost most of the police officers are indeed more familiar, after all, this is the closest forest to the center of the village, and most of the firewood must come from this in the families of the police officers.

Following the path stepped out by people and animals, the group got into the forest, there were several police officers leading the way in front, and there were special people in charge of the flanks and back roads, Wu Qingchen walked quite easily, only needed to stop from time to time, pull out a few grass, or pick a few leaves, and explain to the police officers and cowherd helpers who hurried around him, explaining the types of herbs that need to be found and the details of the characteristics.

"Look at this, this is a medicinal herb that can be used, look here, the petals on it are relatively flat......"

"Such a stalk, look, you can pinch out the juice at once, that's what you want!"

"You're not right...... No way! …… I know their rods look alike, but you also have to take a closer look at their roots......"

"Don't pick that one, it's useless! No matter how thick the leaves are, and this is not such a tree! The leaves that are really useful, the tree is much taller! ”

In the special position of "preparing for consultation", Dai Rick honestly stayed by Wu Qingchen's side, most of his energy followed to learn to identify medicinal herbs, and a small part of his energy looked ahead from time to time.

There are not too many types of herbs to look for, and with Wu Qingchen's explanation, the cowherd's helpers and police officers' ability to identify herbs has improved rapidly.

Since Wu Qingchen had already carried out a round of picking here a few days ago, in the two baskets carried by the police officer Wu Qingchen, the speed of the herbs increased very slowly, and correspondingly, because there was not much time to stay, everyone's footsteps also went deeper and deeper into the forest.

By the time the basket of herbs was gradually filled to a quarter, the edge of the forest that was so familiar to the police officers had come to an end.

There were no solid paths trodden by wood-pickers, herders, and livestock, and only the rugged forest animal paths that twisted up and down.

The speed of the team's progress immediately slowed down, and the police officers who opened the road in front, supported them in the middle, or broke off in the rear, looked much more serious.

But so what?

Darek chuckled in his heart, if everything could go smoothly if he was just careful and slow, why should he appoint a special firewood companion when the village was running low on firewood and needed to go deep into the forest to find more dead branches and leaves?

Having learned the lesson of being named by the priest and then immediately targeted by the neighbors, this time Derick remained silent and continued along the route that Vito and the other two police officers had discussed.

After some more time, the baskets in the hands of the police officers added a few more weights, and a ramp appeared in front of everyone.

A slight smile unconsciously appeared on Derick's lips.

Darik had been waiting for this position for a long time.

As they got here, they had already passed through many similar ramps, and the one in front of them seemed unsurprising, even a little gentle.

But Daric knew quite well that there were no branches on either side of this ramp, no rattans, and not even weeds growing on the ground.

Sure enough, Vito, who was in the lead, first walked to the side of the ramp carelessly, then began to climb the slope carelessly, and then walked and climbed two steps with all his heart, and then casually ...... Slipped down.

Looking back awkwardly, Vito spat in the palm of his hand, walked to the side of the ramp again, and prepared to climb again, but he felt awkward no matter how he posed, and finally had to bend down and use the way of half-lying on the dirt to rise up, using both hands and feet, covered in mud, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb up.

The other two police officers next to him, in a similar position, also climbed ...... also shrugged up.

When it was Wu Qingchen's turn, the police officers who accompanied Wu Qingchen came over, "Rose, it's hard to go up here, let's carry you." ”

No more!

This ramp shouldn't be climbed at all! Bypassing the small bushes in front of you, you can see a flat path.

Thinking so, Darick opened his mouth, ready to show Wu Qingchen the deep understanding of the forest by the firewood companion.

"No need!"

It was also at this time that Dai Rik saw that Wu Qingchen slowly shook his head and walked in the direction of the bushes in front of him, "I forgot a little bit just now...... I remember that when I passed by here a few days ago to look for medicinal herbs, I seemed to see a path over there......"

This!

Darek choked on a breath.

How did you discover this trail?

Are you looking for herbs or are you looking for a way?

According to the identification method taught by Wu Qingchen, Dai Rik clearly saw that a little further past the ramp that Vito and the others had just climbed, there was a large cluster of green herbs growing.

It's okay, it's okay......

Following Wu Qingchen, bypassing the bushes and walking on the flat path, Darik told himself that the forest was getting denser and denser, and the road was becoming more and more difficult to walk, and there were many, many more opportunities for firewood to show his abilities.

Yes, the forests are getting denser.

It didn't take long for a few more small turns, and the path ahead suddenly became narrow, and Vito, who was the first to open the way, and the other two police officers had to raise their arms to protect their faces and block the branches and leaves that had been knocked away by the people in front of them and then bounced back.

Of course, this action did not last long, and it didn't take long for the officers to exchange arms several times.

Tired, right?

Darek turned sideways and was about to tell Wu Qingchen a more relaxed way, but he was stunned to find that at some point, Wu Qingchen had already assumed the pose he had in mind, and by the way, he picked up a handful of branches from the ground and erected them in front of him.

This!

On this day, it was the fifth time that Derick was choked.

looked at Wu Qingchen blankly, up and down, and carefully looked at Wu Qingchen, at this time, Dai Rik suddenly realized that until this moment, Wu Qingchen's body was still clean and neat.

That's not all, this person who thought he was the most familiar with this forest in the entire Aikeli village, and only then finally realized that when the other police officers covered in mud and leaves were out of breath and could only keep their breathing even, Wu Qingchen, who also climbed up and down all the way, even if he had to stop from time to time to guide the police officers and cowherd helpers to identify the herbs, until now, there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead.

Could that stupid woman be right?

Is this damn firewood companion really useless?

Dumbfounded, Derrick began to doubt himself deeply.

This poor man could never have imagined that in another world, although there is no firewood companion, there is a set of high-end textbooks that are higher than dozens of versions of firewood companions: "Fuel Collection, Livestock Grazing, and Fertilizer Recovery Comprehensive Utilization of Forest Resources Coordination Method".
