Chapter 19: The Search for Medicine (2)

Fang Ling couldn't help but secretly say that the people in this county town were really simple, but he couldn't let the blue-clothed young man lead the way, and the silver ticket would be quietly stuffed into his clothes.

walked all the way out of the county, and during the conversation, I also learned that the young man in blue was named Xiao Jin, and together with his father, he had been collecting medicine for generations.

Qunhu Mountain is not as continuous as the Misty Mountain, and it is not as large as the Shilong Mountain Range, but in this eastern land, it can be regarded as a big mountain, and it is already early afternoon at this time, and when I went up the mountain, I met a few hunters coming down the mountain.

Seeing the sorrow on the faces of the hunters, Xiao Jin couldn't help but ask one of the bearded men, "Uncle Shang, what's going on?"

The big man surnamed Shang sighed and said, "Another Orion is missing, and we haven't found it for a day of searching in the mountain." ”

"Missing?Didn't someone go missing just a few days ago?" asked Xiao Jin with a frown.

The big man surnamed Shang smiled bitterly: "What can be done about this? There are enough beasts in the mountains, and this guy likes to run deep into the mountains on weekdays, maybe he has encountered big beasts such as tigers." ”

Saying that, the hunters went down the mountain, and Xiao Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When the hunters are much more dangerous than us medicine pickers, there are few large beasts in places where there are medicinal materials, but if the hunters want to make more silver taels, they have to catch some big things." ”

Fang Ling also nodded, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, people who fight against nature always carry dangers that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

As Xiao Jin said before, the road to Baishui Cliff is remote and rugged, Fang Ling is naturally like walking on the ground, it is rare that Song Ying'er does not have much effort to walk, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and in the past three years, Dong Canghai and others have also taught her some martial arts, don't look at her slender body, but if she really moves martial arts, I am afraid that her strength is not under ordinary guards.

I walked along the mountain road until the sun was about to set, and finally reached the White Water Cliff.

Baishui Cliff is a raised mountain cliff, the cliff is very steep, it is not easy to pick the medicinal materials growing on the cliff, but the herb picker naturally has a way to collect the herb.

Xiao Jin took out a thick rope from the back basket, and there were bamboo tubes on the outside of the rope, and many bamboo tubes still had traces of being bitten by sharp objects.

After Song Ying'er was surprised to ask, she learned that there are generally some small animal caves on the cliffs, many of these small animals have sharp teeth, if you only use a rope to tie your body, climb down to collect medicine, the alarmed small animals are likely to climb out and bite off the rope.

However, if there is a bamboo tube to protect it, it can prevent the bite of small animals, so that the herbs below can be collected smoothly.

Tie the rope to the trunk of the big tree, and when Xiao Jin was about to climb down, Fang Ling said, "Brother Xiao, let me go down." ”

Xiao Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young Master Fang, this is a dangerous job, you can't do it." ”

Song Ying'er chuckled on the side: "Brother Xiao, don't you underestimate our young master, haven't you seen him go over the mountains and mountains without even breathing? ”

Xiao Jin glanced at Fang Ling, and saw that he really looked refreshed, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this trip down the mountain road, he was also sweating.
