024, return trip
At this moment, looking at He Shou Wu, who was slapping in his hand, Lu Zheng really wanted to laugh three times.
Although the quality of this He Shou Wu is average, the year is not very long, but the scarcity is precious, there are hundreds of herbs recorded in the "Baicao Lu", such as He Shou Wu, mountain ginseng and other medicinal materials have an excellent effect on the strong qi and blood of people who practice martial arts, and belong to rare precious medicinal materials.
Although Bailong Mountain is large, this kind of medicinal herb grows uncertainly, and it is very rare, even senior medicine pickers can only rely on luck and occasionally have the opportunity to encounter it.
Lu Zheng hadn't expected that he would gain much as soon as he entered the mountain, but he didn't expect that he would be possessed by the European Emperor for the first time he entered the mountain!
Rustling......
Because of this surprise from the sky, Lu Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly a rustling sound came from the dense forest in front of him, and as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Song Yuan, who had just been chasing the deer, going and returning, dragging a red deer in his hand.
Lu Zheng's heart moved, and he subconsciously put away He Shouwu in his hand.
"It's rare to encounter a herd of red deer, and I was lucky to be able to hunt two. ”
Soon, Song Yuan carried the red deer out of the forest, and his rough and cold face showed rare joy.
Red deer is full of treasures, in addition to the antlers, whips, and tendons that can be used in medicine, deer skin, venison, and deer blood all have their own value. For example, the complete red deer in his hand can be exchanged for at least a few stones of grain in the walled city, and it can be said that a month's worth of food has been settled all at once.
This is also known as not opening for three days, opening for a month.
Of course, he was able to do this because of his rich experience and extraordinary strength, and it was difficult for an ordinary hunter to have such a big gain.
Obviously not knowing what Lu Zheng had just discovered, Song Yuan put away his bow, cut off a few branches at the edge of the forest, tied the limbs of his red deer, and instructed Lu Zheng at the same time:
"Lu Ping, that deer also has half of yours, tie it up, let's go back to the walled city!"
Newcomers follow veterans into the mountains to learn and accumulate experience, normally they are not qualified to participate in the distribution of loot, hearing this, Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he walked over:
"Brother Song, when you were chasing the red deer just now, I also found this thing. ”
Saying that, when Song Yuan turned his head, he directly threw He Shou Wu in his hand.
"It's ...... He Shou Wu?"
As soon as Song Yuan stretched out his hand to borrow He Shou Wu thrown by Lu Zheng, he looked at it slightly, and his eyes changed slightly:
"Where did you find that?"
People who go to the mountains to beg for a living, hunting and collecting medicines are not separated, he naturally recognizes such a rare herb as He Shou Wu, but he didn't expect such a plant to emerge from Lu Zheng's hands!
Lu Zheng nodded, and said succinctly: "Luckily, I happened to find its stems and leaves in the cracks of the mountain rock just now, and I felt a little familiar, so I dug it out." ”
This kind of luck ......
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng made such a discovery so easily, Song Yuan looked down at He Shouwu in his hand, a little speechless.
"Although this He Shou Wu is not old, its value is much greater than that of a whole red deer. ”
Immediately after, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Zheng deeply:
"You should know more or less about its efficacy and value, right? You could have hidden it on your body and brought it back, and I can't possibly know, why did you tell me?"
Lu Zheng smiled:
"It's just a He Shou Wu, and it's not a treasure. If you hadn't brought me here and found a herd of red deer, how could I have found it? ”
took the initiative to take out the discovered He Shou Wu, of course, it was not that he was stupid or hot-headed, and the reason was not as simple and high-sounding as he said.
On the one hand, it was because he could have such a harvest on his first trip to the mountain, and Song Yuan, who brought him in, contributed a lot. And when he didn't make any effort, the other party even took the initiative to divide half of his red deer, which undoubtedly touched Lu Zheng's heart;
And on the more important side, in fact, Lu Zheng wants to seek greater trust from the other party and prepare for another plot of his own!
However, he didn't know Lu Zheng's inner Xiao Jiujiu at all, but Song Yuan was silent when he heard this.
The world is difficult and dangerous, in this walled city, he has seen too many people fighting for me, deceiving me, and even changing children and eating in the famine years, he really didn't expect Lu Zheng, a person who has only known him for a few days, to make such a choice.
Then, he was expressionless and directly threw back He Shou Wu in his hand:
"Since you dug it yourself, it belongs to you. ”
Lu Zheng caught He Shouwu with some surprise, and hesitated: "Brother Song, ...... are you?"
"There's nothing to say, that's what you found out in the first place. I said before I came, I will only take you into the mountains, and it is up to you whether you have a harvest or not. ”
Song Yuan said lightly:
"You don't have to think about it, it's rare, but I can come across it a few times a year. And this He Shou Wu is of average quality, so I don't want to compete with a novice. You're probably more in need of this than I am. ”
Song Yuan's reaction undoubtedly made Lu Zheng secretly ashamed in his heart.
Compared with his ulterior motives, the other party's performance is undoubtedly more like a cold-hearted and upright man.
However, this He Shou Wu does have a different meaning to him, Lu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, and no longer pretended to shirk, and immediately thanked him sincerely:
"Brother Song, thank you. I will remember the things of today. ”
"Well, I don't need to talk about it anymore. ”
Song Yuan waved his hand noncommittally and resisted the red deer that he had tied:
"Let's go back!"
......
Two or three hours later, each carrying the deer carcass and going through a difficult trek, Lu Zheng followed Song Yuan all the way out of the mountains and forests without danger.
A red deer is at least two or three hundred catties, carrying such a heavy object over the mountains and mountains is really a huge challenge for Lu Zheng, who only has an inner rest realm, during which his physical strength is huge, and he is exhausted several times;
This also made Lu Zheng feel deep envy.
When they walked out of the forest, it was already close to dusk outside, and the red sunlight covered the whole land, and they rested for a while, and then continued to carry the red deer in the direction of the walled city.
It took less than an hour for them to finally walk through the vast wilderness and fields, and returned to Song Yuan's small courtyard before dark.
At this time, Lu Zheng's physical strength had reached its limit, but Song Yuan had spare strength, and he even took it upon himself to disembowel, cut the strongest red deer in half, and handed it to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was naturally not polite, he thanked him again, and then took the half red deer and dragged his tired body back to his own place.
But despite being so tired, as soon as he returned to the house, he had no intention of resting at all, but couldn't wait to take out the He Shou Wu plant that he dug up during the day from his leather pocket, and his eyes were shining.
What he is going to do is naturally to directly strengthen this He Shou Wu!
