13. Surprises are behind
"Brother Zheng, our luck is not ordinarily good!"
"These two beasts are fat and strong, I'm afraid there are four or five hundred catties!"
Looking at the two sturdy prey, Zhao Wu and the other three were also beaming, and they almost danced.
Most of them are low-level cultists, most of them have been forcibly taken away and plundered, and the days of meat and fish have not passed for a few days, and now they have hunted such two big wild boars, how can they not be happy?
"Well, now is not the time to celebrate."
Chen Zheng restrained his mood, looked up at the sky, and said:
"At most, there is still an hour before the sun sets, hurry up and pack these two ends and take them back, otherwise there will be no way to walk when it gets dark."
"Yes, yes!"
The three of them are now only Chen Zheng and take action without saying a word.
Under the arrangement, Wu San and He Daming tied their prey with ropes, while Chen Zheng himself and Zhao Wu went to cut down trees, planning to make two pairs of picks, otherwise there would be no way to take these two big guys out of the mountain.
"Wait a minute, Brother Zheng."
However, at this time, Zhao Wu seemed to remember something, and suddenly ran to the place where the two adult wild boars were foraging for food just now, rummaging and digging.
Then, he looked up in surprise:
"Brother Zheng, there's something good here!"
"Oh?"
Chen Zheng's heart moved, and he immediately walked over.
I saw that in the gap at the edge of a mountain rock buried deep in the soil, Zhao Wu had dug out a shallow soil pit, revealing a small piece of earthy yellow things.
Chen Zheng squatted down suddenly, his eyes lit up: "This is ...... Ginseng? ”
"Brother Zheng, this is wild ginseng, the nose of a beast is much more sensitive than that of a human, and those two big guys just now should have smelled it!"
Zhao Wu carefully dug the pit and said excitedly:
"This is a good thing, the older the year, the more valuable it is, I used to dig it a few times when I went into the mountains with my father, but it doesn't seem to be as big as this!"
"Wait, the roots of the mountain ginseng can't be hurt, I'll help you dig it out first!"
Zhao Wu is obviously more experienced than himself, although Chen Zheng is moved, he can only stand by for the time being, and Wu San and He Daming, who heard the conversation on the other side, also came over with bright eyes after tying the rope:
"Ginseng?"
Zhao Wu didn't look back and said: "This piece of soil is special, you can also look for it, maybe there will be more." Mountain ginseng likes yin, generally behind the mountain rock or between the cracks, the first grass seedlings, if there are roots in the three inches under the soil, that is! ”
Hearing this, Wu San and the others suddenly came to their senses, and immediately dispersed a few steps, squatted on the ground, and investigated carefully.
At the same time, under Zhao Wu's careful excavation, a whole thick mountain ginseng about the size of an adult's palm was unearthed, and the slender roots still exuded the fragrance of earth.
"Brother Zheng, let's have good luck today!"
Zhao Wu excitedly handed over the stout mountain ginseng that was still carrying the soil:
"This one looks at the quality, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty years, and it is the first time I have seen such an old one!"
In the midst of the surprise, Chen Zheng took it for the first time, and at the same time, the Emperor Jade sent feedback:
【Wild ginseng (36 years)】
Rank: Yellow
Description: Born and raised, the main replenishment of the five internal organs and blood, the spirit is calm, the soul is fixed, the essence is strengthened, and the body is lightened for a long time.
Can be enshrined/can be enshrined
Thirty-six years old, wild ginseng that has reached the yellow rank!
And you can also worship in exchange for heavenly merit!
Thirty years of wild ginseng is definitely a very rare medicinal material, I never expected such a harvest, Chen Zheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Although Zhao Wu was a little envious in his eyes, he said very decisively:
"Brother Zheng, you take it first, and then I'll go and see if there's anything around, it will only take two pillars of incense at most, okay?"
"Yes."
Chen Zheng nodded, and Zhao Wu immediately went to Wu San and He Daming to investigate the ground together.
This kid has the eyesight to see......
I have to say that in addition to being happy, Chen Zheng's evaluation of Zhao Wu, a half-grown boy, skyrocketed.
There is no doubt that as the leader, he has absolute control over all the loot after entering the mountain.
However, this ginseng is valuable, and it was Zhao Wu himself who first discovered it, but he was able to hand it in so simply and decisively, and his heart was far beyond his age.
Although he was curious about how much heavenly power he could get by enshrined in the wild ginseng in his hand, now was obviously not the time to try, Chen Zheng solemnly took the ginseng in his hand into his arms, and then joined the search team of the three together.
This area with fertile soil is just such a piece, and the four people are looking for it separately, and the efficiency is naturally very fast.
In a quarter of an hour or two, they actually discovered it again, and dug out a slender wild ginseng from under the root of a dead tree!
And this root was also found by Zhao Wu.
In Wu Sanyan's gaze, Zhao Wu also handed it in neatly, and under Chen Zheng's contact, he got information feedback again:
【Wild ginseng (7 years)】
Rank: Fan
Description: Born and raised, the main replenishment of the five internal organs and blood, the cultivation and growth of essence, long-term service and light body prolongation.
Can be enshrined/not enshrined
Seven years old, it becomes a mortal ...... It seems that the age is the evaluation standard of the Emperor Jade?
Such a thought flashed in Chen Zheng's heart, and he saw Zhao Wu say regretfully:
"Brother Zheng, this piece is probably gone, I suspect that it was found and chewed by those beasts."
"It's okay, our harvest today is rich enough that we can't stay any longer."
Chen Zheng looked up at the sky, the sun was already trending westward, and immediately waved his hand:
"Pack up and go back as soon as possible!"
......
More than an hour later.
Carrying two large heads of prey, Chen Zheng finally led the three of them back to the foot of the mountain where the stronghold was located after an extremely difficult trek.
By the time we arrived, it was already dark.
Except for Chen Zheng, the other three people were already soaked, their tired legs were weak, and they only cared about snoring and panting.
A wild boar has at least more than 200 catties, even if several people are strong and strong martial arts practitioners, and they are still shoulders and shoulders, carrying such heavy objects over mountains and mountains, trekking mountains and rivers, it is still like undergoing a huge test.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, Chen Zheng, who has taken Dragon and Tiger Zhuangli Pill and stepped into the level of skin training, is still good to say,
Zhao Wu, Wu San, and He Daming are still at the level of forging bones, and although their strength is not weak, their physical strength has been exhausted early when they climb up and down.
Zhao Wu, who was younger, was fortunately in a group with Chen Zheng, and was taken care of all the way to carry the burden in the high terrain, saving a lot of effort, otherwise he would not have been able to go now.
Seeing that victory was in sight, a few people at the foot of the mountain rested for a while to recover some strength, and then mustered up the last strength to carry the prey, climbed the mountain road, and returned to the stronghold.
During this period, some of the members of the patrol were surprised to see them return with a full load, and their eyeballs were shocked.
It's a pity that neither Chen Zheng nor anyone else is in the mood to show off at all, and they only care about climbing.
Then finally before his strength was completely exhausted, he sent all the prey to Chen Zheng's own small courtyard.
