"Damn, it hurts me!"

Jiang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw away the firewood knife, and sat on the ground panting.

Killing someone is also the first time for him, and it is still a bit exciting.

However, Jiang Ming did not regret it.

"If you live, you're going to cause me a lot of trouble, so ...... I can only ask you to sacrifice for the sake of the big picture. ”

The wound on his chest slowly healed, and Jiang Ming looked at the corpse beside him, without any pity, but with a deeper understanding of his own situation.

"If your strength is low, your life will be as cheap as earth, and anyone can step on it......"

Judging from the memories of his predecessor, even if he didn't meet Huang Lao Ghost today, when he sold this Fire Cloud Grass, he would be exploited layer by layer, and even attract blood and light.

Herbs worth thirty taels of silver are fortunate to have one hundred and ten copper plates safely put into the bag.

"It's too embarrassing to keep going like this......"

Gou is also divided into methods, the turtle retracts its head into its belly, and Gou is still an old turtle that has been scribbled on the turtle shell.

Jiang Ming didn't want to be an old turtle.

"Gou Dao is not cowardly, and only by becoming stronger can we be more stable."

"So the first goal is to quietly practice martial arts, become strong, and live better."

Jiang Ming straightened out his thoughts, only felt that his thoughts were clear, and suddenly became enlightened, so he went to the bottom of the cliff to clean up the firewood knives, medicine baskets and other items he had fallen, and prepared to leave here.

As for the corpse of Huang Lao Ghost, he didn't worry too much, he had the impression that this guy had been a loner, and it was often a month to go to the mountains, and he rarely interacted with others, but he could gain a lot every time.

By the time someone thinks about it, it is estimated that they have already been gnawed into a pile of white bones by wild beasts.

"Every year, there are not seven or eight medicine pickers in the mountains, but three or four...... Those who fall off cliffs, those who encounter jackals, those who eat poisonous mushrooms...... Not much more. ”

But......

"It's not easy for you to be dead on a hot day...... I can't take a knife for nothing. ”

Jiang Ming muttered to himself, his hand had already reached the corpse of Old Ghost Huang and began to grope.

A string of copper plates, only about twenty.

Anthelmintic powder.

A few pieces of dry food to satisfy the hunger......

"Huh?" Jiang Ming's eyes widened suddenly.

He actually found two grains of silver, which were estimated to be more than one or two in total.

"So rich?" Jiang Ming was shocked.

Silver is no ordinary thing.

One or two pieces of silver are worth a thousand copper coins, and ordinary medicine pickers can't save so much in a few years, let alone carry them with them on the mountain.

"This guy has secrets." Jiang Ming's heart moved, and he touched it more carefully.

However, he didn't touch anything for a long time, and when he was about to give up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

On the old ghost Huang's ragged clothes, there was an inconspicuous gray and white patch, which did not feel like a coarse linen cloth, but like a piece of high-quality animal skin.

Tear pull~

Jiang Ming ripped off the palm-sized patch and looked left and right.

"It's ......," he stared.

On the back of the animal skin patch, it is written in dense black letters.

Thanks to the fact that his predecessor had learned to read and write with an old neighbor for a few days, Jiang Ming stumbled to read a rough idea.

"Prescription?"

Jiang Ming suddenly realized, and finally understood why Huang Lao Ghost was rich, and he always looked like he was short of energy.

This is a prescription that uses human blood as the main medicine, but it is given to animals.

After ordinary birds and beasts take this medicine, they can give birth to a trace of spirituality, and gradually obey the person who provides the blood for their drive.

In the memory of the predecessor, Huang Lao Ghost did feed animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.

"It seems that he used his own blood to refine medicine, and drove animals into the mountains to find medicine for him, and thus made a lot of money......"

However, in my memory, the animals raised by Huang Lao Ghost have changed a lot of stubble.

After all, even a seasoned herb picker would be injured if he was not careful in the mountains, not to mention the domestic animals that had just given birth to spirituality, which was simply a meal for the beasts in the mountains.

As for why Huang Lao Ghost didn't directly raise the beasts in the mountains, Jiang Ming guessed that it was because the beasts were more difficult to tame and required a greater amount of medicine.

Old Ghost Huang is just an ordinary person, feeding ordinary cats and dogs is already running out of qi and blood, where can he dare to fight the idea of beasts......

"For ordinary people, this is simply a forbidden technique, but ...... These problems do not exist for me! ”

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and he had a hunch that this prescription might be able to play a great role in his hands.

Carefully put the animal skin in his arms, and took away the silver money and dry food, he didn't touch the remaining things of the old ghost Huang again, after all, maybe he would be recognized.

Recalling the route he often took to collect medicine, Jiang Ming put on a shabby hat, carried the medicine basket, and continued to walk into the mountains.

Along the way, Jiang Ming relied on his memory to pick some herbs, but some of them looked too similar, so he could only taste them and distinguish them.

For other herb pickers, eating herbs indiscriminately is an extremely dangerous move, but for Jiang Ming, there is only a difference between good and bad.

Even if it was a highly poisonous herb, it only made Jiang Ming's stomach ache for a moment......

Later, Jiang Ming even tasted all the way along, tasted almost all the plants and trees he saw, and memorized and classified them in his heart.

"Stomach aches, poison!"

"It can refresh you, but you can have diarrhea!"

"Bitter, slightly toxic, may have unknown efficacy!"

"The taste is okay, like sweet potato leaves, more for dinner......"

"Poisonous mushroom...... Huh? ”

Time gradually passed, Jiang Ming shuttled through the deep mountains and old forests, and the tools such as the medicine shovel, small hoe and medicine sickle in his hand were used in turn, and the skills of medicine collection were slowly improving.

Since he has crossed into a medicine picker, he plans to play this role first, as the saying goes, if you have a specialization in the art industry, you have to work hard to familiarize yourself with the skills.

The dusk in the mountains came quietly, and unconsciously the green pines were solemn, the mountains and rocks were dim, and the shadows of the trees were swaying, floating and sinking in the mist.

The air was getting hot, the sky was cloudy, and it seemed like there was going to be a heavy rain.

Jiang Ming lifted the medicine basket to his shoulder, quickened his pace, and rushed to a cliff in his memory.

The night in the mountains and forests is more dangerous than the day, poisonous insects and beasts are infested, and it is easy to be unlucky if you are not careful.

Soon, dark clouds obscured the last rays of sunlight, and there was a faint roar of thunder.

In front of Jiang Ming's eyes, a rocky low cliff finally appeared, like a strange-shaped pitch-black monster, lurking in the mountains and forests.

He climbed upward, and halfway up the low cliff, he pushed aside a dry vine, and a small cave suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the cave, a broken clay pot, two rotten bowls, a few dry branches, and some dried animal droppings were thrown.

"Thankfully, I'm not mistaken." Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, put down the medicine basket and bits and pieces, and cleaned the cave a little.

Bang~

As soon as he had done all this, a thunderclap suddenly exploded, and the soybean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, and in the blink of an eye, they poured down.

Click~

The dazzling lightning illuminates the mountains and forests, in a dead silence, all souls are dormant, only the sky is magnificent, the sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, like the sound of oracles and demons, smashes into the hearts of all living beings, making people awe and intoxicated.

"It's safe tonight......" Jiang Ming smiled.

Animals are sometimes smarter than humans, and they know how to fear the heavens, and they will not run around in search of food at this time.

He carried the broken clay pot to the mouth of the cave, washed it casually with rainwater, and came back with another pot of rainwater, ready to have a big pot of stew for dinner.

After spending a long time with flint, Jiang Ming finally lit the dry firewood, Jiang Ming put the clay pot on the shelf, and began to prepare the ingredients.

The main dish was Huoyun grass, Jiang Ming casually cut it into a few sections, and threw it into the clay pot with a blade of grass like sweet potato leaves.

This Huoyun Grass is worth a lot of money, but Jiang Ming knows very well the truth of his guilt.

"This fire cloud grass can make Huang Lao Ghost want to kill, and it can also make others greedy...... Instead of taking the risk of fighting for a hundred and ten copper plates, I might as well eat it myself. ”

He looked curious: "I heard that this thing can nourish qi and replenish blood, and it is a great tonic for martial arts, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Now that Jiang Ming's body is weak, he desperately wants to practice martial arts to become stronger, and he naturally has great expectations for the medicinal effect of this Fire Cloud Grass.

Then, he took out a bunch of colorful mushrooms from the medicine basket and stuffed them into the clay pot, watching them tumble in the boiling water, and couldn't help but swallow.

In my previous life, I wanted to eat but didn't dare, but in this life, I finally seized the opportunity, and I will show off first.

"I've heard that the more poisonous it is, the more delicious it is......"

Soon, the rich aroma spread, making Jiang Ming's index finger move.

Outside the cave, the rain was pouring down, and the night was miserable.

In the cave, firewood crackles and thick soup bubble......

Jiang Ming sat quietly, all kinds of thoughts flashing through his heart.

The confusion of coming to the new world, the fear of being discovered and the gains and losses of immortality, and the impetuous excitement of wanting to become stronger and explore the unknown......

Gradually, thousands of emotions peeled off, leaving only the rain in front of them, running through the heavens and the earth:

"Now that you're in this situation, what's there to fear? It's just from heaven to earth......"
