Chapter 10

"Okay, then in that case, if we come back early tomorrow, we will plant all these strawberry seedlings in the back field!"

His mother said to Li Xiaofan after listening to what he said.

The next morning, sure enough, his grandfather got up at five o'clock, and then woke him up, and fortunately he went to bed relatively early last night, so he didn't lose his spirits.

After informing his mother, he set out for the mountain with his grandfather.

The mountains in the south, in addition to being steep, are actually not too high in altitude, but the road is difficult to walk because the road is too steep.

At five o'clock in August, the sky had begun to brighten, and I met people who got up early on the road, greeted them, said a few words about the Longmen Formation, and staggered through.

Because the traffic in the village is not very convenient, many roads are dirt roads, and fortunately, it is a sunny day, and if it is a rainy day, you may be worried about falling.

On rainy days, no matter what kind of shoes you wear, it is easy to slip and fall, because there is very little friction in the mud soaked in the rain, so it is easy to fall if you are not careful.

Now the sun has not come out, the mountain is still very quiet, the birds returning at night are still resting, the whole mountain shows people his quiet, peaceful!

In the mountains in August, there is a faint mist, which is formed by the transpiring mist in the woods, and people walk in the depths of this mountain, feeling like they are in a dream!

Breathing in the air with plenty of oxygen and negative ions, Li Xiaofan and his grandfather walked faster and faster, and the road under their feet was constantly retreating.

The place where the two of them are going today is still far away, because the medicines in the vicinity are basically picked by the villagers and taken to the city to sell, so there are basically no wild medicinal herbs in the places close to home!

Even if there were, it was very young and did not meet their needs at all!

During this time, he drank the spring water in the space and ate the dishes produced by the space, and he felt that his whole body had been sublimated and improved, whether it was his agility or his speed, these had been improved!

He didn't dare to give the spring water in the space to his father and mother to eat now, because he hadn't completely confirmed that the spring water was not harmful to the human body!

He walked in front to lead the way, and his grandfather followed behind him, probably related to the fact that he took the space spring water and the plants in the space during this time, he felt very relaxed when he walked!

However, considering Grandpa's body, he walked very slowly, and from time to time he looked for those medicinal herbs!

After walking for about two hours, looking at the time, it was already half past seven, the two sat down to rest for a while, took out some dry food, and nibbled on a few bites!

Looking back at the road that has been walked, two and a half hours have passed, and it has been a long way, and now the village is completely out of sight!

After sitting for a while, I could faintly see the sun slowly rising, and the mountains and forests began to be lively, and all kinds of small animals and birds began to call!

Or flying around the tree, or jumping from one tree to another, it's not lively.

Li Xiaofan and his grandfather began to continue walking, and after walking for a while, they found several strains of medicine, and the year was not low, probably seven or eight years old!

And during this time they also saw many wild animals, including wild pheasants, hares, and a few wild monkeys!

There were even a few little squirrels that followed them all the time, jumping from tree to tree and following them all the way!

However, squirrels are less daring. Whenever Li Xiaofan turned his head to look at it, it was immediately so frightened that it jumped onto another tree, and on several occasions it almost fell directly from the tree, but fortunately its skills were agile enough.

There are very few people from the depths of this mountain, so there are quite a lot of wild animals. Thanks to the increasing number of laws and regulations promulgating by the state to protect wild animals in recent years, the number of wild animals in the mountains and forests has gradually increased.

Even Li Xiaofan and his grandfather found two rock sheep, which are second-class protected animals. In the past few years, this wild animal has been basically invisible here, but I didn't expect to see two when I came into the mountain today.

The size of the rock sheep is medium, generally between the wild goat and the wild sheep, their climbing ability is very strong, on the cliff, as long as they can put one foot to go up, they can climb up, and their high jump ability is also very strong, a jump can jump to 2~3 meters. They are also very resilient and they can jump from a height of 10 meters without injury.

The only downside to this animal is that they are very reproductive, they are only able to reproduce once a year, and only one at a time!

At the same time, they also have many natural predators, such as snow leopards, jackals, wolves, vultures, golden eagles and other animals.

The two rock sheep seemed to have never seen humans, and after seeing Li Xiaofan and them, they did not run away, but approached Li Xiaofan and them!

Li Xiaofan saw that the eyes of the two rock sheep were very pure, he had never seen such clean eyes, he couldn't help but be attracted by these two rock sheep!

However, after observing the two of them for a while, the two rock sheep spread their legs and ran away, watching them run into the distance, Li Xiaofan sighed slightly, because he liked these two rock sheep very much!

However, Li Xiaofan did not chase after them, but just quietly watched them leave.

These two rock sheep should have been born in the past two years, looking very small and not afraid of humans at all, it can be seen that the two of them are equivalent to people with no social experience at all

In this way, Li Xiaofan and his grandfather walked slowly in the mountains without hurry, and picked some herbs when they encountered them, but they left room for picking herbs, and they would not say that they would pick them all at once, so that these herbs would slowly become extinct.

After walking for about half an hour, he and his grandfather came to the Wild Dog Cave!

The reason why this place is called the Wild Dog Cave is because this place, the middle of it is empty, and there is a natural hole above and below the top of the mountain, which allows people to pass through.

And I used to hear that there were a lot of wolves here, so people named it the Wild Dog Cave.

The Wild Dog Cave is about seven or eight kilometers away from his village, and the wolves here were basically extinct in the 60s of the last century, because people were clearing the wasteland at that time, so the wolves here were eventually killed.

Not far from here there is a reservoir whose water used to be the source of water in their village, but when there was running water, the reservoir was abandoned.

After passing a hole, you really enter the deep mountains and old forests, and there are basically not many people in the deep forests behind.

In addition to the previous medicine pickers, they would also go into the mountains from time to time, but basically now, no one has gone into the mountains, and gradually the road in the mountains has been covered, and now every time I come in, I only have a machete to open the way.

The primeval forest in the back is intimidating because there are already some large animals inside.

Let's just say that there are bison and some pandas in the depths of the big forest, and a few years ago, some pandas even ran to these places in their village to find food, but then they all ran back.

In the end, Li Xiaofan and his grandfather stopped at the Wild Dog Cave, and they went around the Wild Dog Cave and found a lot of medicinal materials.

Li Xiaofan found a high-aged gastrodia outside the wild dog cave, this gastrodia was high enough and had a good medicinal effect, but Li Xiaofan did not pick it directly from him, but shoveled it up and put it into the space with the shovel he brought.

When he did this, he did it quietly, and he didn't want his grandfather to let him contribute!

The average gastrodia is about 300 yuan a kilogram, but the old gastrodia is not sold like this, and the old gastrodia is sold by the gram.

He took a look at this gastrodia plant, and compared it with the books that his grandfather had asked him to read, and the age of this gastrodia plant was about 10 years old.

10-year-old gastrodia is already at least four or five hundred yuan per gram. If his vintage can be a little longer, the price can continue to rise.

He estimated this gastrodia slightly, about 30 grams, but he didn't expect to go into a deep mountain and pick up a treasure.

By noon, the sun was already shining in the middle of the day, and if they looked for herbs now, it would be even hotter.

So the two of them didn't continue to look for it, but sat down and took out dry food to eat, and began to rest by the way.

In one morning, they still found dozens of herbs, all of which were about three or four years old.

This time into the mountains, it was quite rewarding, until the temperature in the woods dropped and the sun set a little, and they were ready to rush back.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they began to rush back, but he noticed something very strange, he found that all the animals were running after them.

It's as if something is attracting them.

As they were hurrying back, he heard the sound of a fight.

He asked his grandfather to stop and wait for him, and then he went to check on himself, and his grandfather was also old, and his ears were not very good, so naturally he didn't hear it, so he didn't say anything more.

He climbed the hill and found two wolves fighting a tiger below.

The two wolves were covered in wounds all over their bodies, and they looked like they were already angry, and the tiger was not having a good time, and there were scratches everywhere on their bodies.

But the tiger didn't dwell too much, and turned around, roared at the two wolves, and then disappeared into the woods like the wind.

There were only two wolves left in the same place, which were already dying, Li Xiaofan saw this scene, did not stop, but walked directly.

When the two wolves saw the humans walking in, they both looked vigilant. Li Xiaofan looked at the two wolves, then took out some spatial spring water from the space and put it in his hand.

The two wolves seemed to smell the smell of the space spring, and then struggled to lick the space spring water in his hand, he handed his hand over, and then the most injured wolf licked it first and began to recover his spirits!

Li Xiaofan didn't stay too long, and took out some space spring water and put it in front of the other wolf, letting the other wolf lick it.
