Chapter Seventy-Eight: Walking Together

The deeper you go, the darker your vision becomes. Xiao Qingzhu was going to find an herb called Shanpo Sheep. Since she exhausted her mental strength half a month ago, she has not fully recovered. However, this herb has a strong calming effect, as long as you take one and sleep well, you can recover seventy or eighty. It's just that this thing grows on the shady hillside, and it's still very rare.

The stubborn donkey walked on the rugged mountain road, kept stumbling and stumbling, and after a while, he played again. Xiao Qingzhu couldn't pull it, and finally simply ignored it. When the stubborn donkey saw that his master had abandoned him, he followed her slowly.

"What a cheap donkey!"

The fragrance of elixir filled the surroundings, Xiao Qingzhu closed his eyes, sniffed carefully, and walked in one direction. Sure enough, there were a lot of good elixirs there, Xiao Qingzhu searched for a long time, but he didn't find the hillside sheep. She had to choose a few good-looking elixirs and put them in the medicine box.

was picking up medicine, and suddenly heard a voice not far away: "Hurry up, hurry up, see if there is anything here?"

Xiao Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, she opened the bushes and took a closer look: she saw a few disciples of the Mountain Breaking Sect digging something with shovels. Several large holes had been dug into the ground, and it didn't look like they were collecting medicine.

What are they doing?

Xiao Qingzhu stopped her curiosity, and she quietly retreated. At this moment, I heard a soft call from behind me: "Hey, little brother, hello!"

Xiao Qingzhu was so frightened that her hairs rose, she hurriedly turned around and covered the man's mouth.

"Shh......h Don't make a sound. ”

The man understood, and the two quietly left the land of right and wrong. Only then did Xiao Qingzhu see clearly that the person who came turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He was dressed in a white brocade robe, and he looked like a rich boy at first glance.

"You ......"

The young man saluted in a proper manner: "In Xia Liu Feng, my family lives at the foot of Lulun Mountain, and this is the first time I have entered the mountain to collect medicine." ”

Xiao Qingzhu frowned, she had never had a good impression of the surname Liu. Although the young man in front of her was well-behaved and polite, she still had a sense of rejection.

"Do the rich children have to go up the mountain to collect medicine by themselves?" Xiao Qingzhu obviously didn't believe his rhetoric, "What are you looking for me for?"

Liu Feng said sincerely: "Little brother, I want to hire you to be my guide, is it okay?"

"No, you can't. Xiao Qingzhu coldly refused, "I'm not familiar with the road myself!"

Liu Feng smiled: "I don't need you to be familiar with the road, I just need you to recognize some herbs." You're a medicine seller, so you should be very good at identifying medicinal herbs, right?"

Xiao Qingzhu felt that this person was too angry, and she just wanted to say no, Liu Feng continued: "I hired you for three days with one hundred taels of silver, do you see that the price is feasible?"

Xiao Qingzhu's tongue suddenly rolled in her mouth, and she laughed and said, "You said it earlier! I am the best at identifying medicinal materials! Let's go, what medicine do you want to pick, I'll help you!"

She is indeed short of money right now.

Liu Feng said seriously: "I want to pick a thousand-year-old ginseng. ”

"Poof......" Xiao Qingzhu almost choked to death by his own spit, thousand-year-old spirit ginseng? Are you messing with me? Is this just picking?

But she patiently explained: "Ahem, big brother, you may not know that that thing is hard to find. ”

Liu Feng hesitated for a moment: "That...... A hundred years of head office, right?"

Xiao Qingzhu scratched his nose frantically: "Big brother, why do you have to pick this spiritual ginseng?"

Liu Feng said seriously: "In order to let my family no longer look down on me!"

"That's it?" Xiao Qingzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why bother, can you pick back the spirit ginseng so that people can afford it?"

Liu Feng clenched his fists excitedly: "Of course, it is said that picking ginseng is difficult and difficult, if I can take these treasures back, my father will definitely be impressed with me!"

"Okay, I understand!" Xiao Qingzhu sighed, "But I said in advance, if you don't pick the ginseng by then, you have to pay me the money!"

Liu Feng nodded: "That's natural, contemptible people will make a promise." ”

Only then did Xiao Qingzhu continue to move forward boldly and with confidence. No matter how unreliable this nerd is, as long as you survive these three days and get the money!

At this time, Xiao Qingzhu must not have imagined how difficult it was to make this money.

The two of them walked around the forest with the donkey for a while, and the sky began to get dark. Xiao Qingzhu found the mountain spring, she let the donkey drink the spring water, then tied it to the tree, and finally sat on the ground and lit a bonfire.

Liu Feng watched Xiao Qingzhu take out a few pastries from the medicine box, and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Xiao Qingzhu looked at him in surprise: "Big brother, you won't leave anything without food, right?"

Liu Feng nodded awkwardly: "Hmm...... First time away from home, inexperienced......"

"This is really fatal!" Xiao Qingzhu handed him a dough cake, "Oh, eat it, but you have to add five taels of silver!"

Liu Feng's eyes widened: "Five taels of silver, little brother, you are a little unkind, right? You can buy two of these cakes for five copper plates!"

Xiao Qingzhu gave him a blank look: "Can the two cakes bought by five copper plates go all the way with you to the mountains and then give them to you to eat?" Tell you, the price is not expensive on this cake, but on this labor cost!"

Liu Feng was a little unconvinced: "But...... You're too expensive!"

Xiao Qingzhu pricked up his eyes: "Don't give any more words!" As he spoke, he was about to snatch Liu Feng's cake, but Liu Feng was busy and ate it obediently.

For a half-sized child, one loaf is only enough to pad the stomach. When Xiao Qingzhu gobbled up the cakes in his hand, Liu Feng covered his half-hungry stomach and drank a belly of spring water. Xiao Qingzhu pretended not to see, she moved away from the fire, and fell asleep next to her.

What a taste of starvation!

Liu Feng couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, so he simply stood up, trying to find some wild fruits in the surrounding trees to satisfy his hunger. The wild fruits on Lulun Mountain are quite abundant, Liu Feng soon found a bunch of purple-red berries, he pulled one and tasted it, well, it tasted very similar to grapes, so he picked a large pile and took it to the fire and ate it. When he finished eating, he threw it aside and fell asleep.

The sweet scent of wild fruits was smoked by the fire and immediately spread through the woods. Xiao Qingzhu heard the frightened cry of the donkey in the haze, and she opened her eyes suddenly, good guy, a fifth-order spirit bear with a little bear was walking slowly towards this side.

Xiao Qingzhu was suddenly frightened, and she reached out to push Liu Feng beside her: "Hurry up!

"Hmm...... It's so sweet......" Liu Feng said something in a dream and didn't wake up.

Xiao Qingzhu secretly cursed a dead pig, her eyes fixed on the movements of the female bear. The she-bear didn't act rashly, it instinctively sensed that Xiao Qingzhu was not easy to mess with, so it just circled around not far away. It didn't matter what it was going around, it frightened the stubborn donkey out of the reins, raised his hooves and ran.

The little donkey's unexpected run shook the she-bear for a moment. Seeing this, Xiao Qingzhu hurriedly picked up Liu Feng and ran up desperately.
