Chapter 3 Family (Ask for Collection)
"Ah Heng..."
Su Ping seemed to have just cried, and his eyes were slightly red.
However, it seemed that he didn't want Su Heng to feel worried, Su Ping still barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "You're back, you didn't encounter danger on the mountain today." β
"Nope."
Su Heng shook his head and put the back basket on his body on the ground.
Close the door and step inside. Su Heng smelled a faint aroma of rice.
"The food is still hot, I've been waiting for you."
The whole room is only about 50 square meters, and there are three beds, separated from each other by a shabby curtain, and there is a small table for eating in the middle.
The light is like a bean.
On the table was a pot of wheat bran paste and a ball of wild vegetables boiled in salt water.
Su Ping brought bowls and chopsticks again and served rice to Su Heng. Fill it for Su Heng first, and then only keep a little bit for yourself.
Su Heng was not polite.
After taking the dishes and chopsticks, he began to eat in large gulps.
The taste of the wheat bran is not good, and when you swallow it, you can clearly feel it scratching your throat. And most of them are plant fibers that are difficult to digest and absorb by the human body, and they don't have much nutrition.
But even so.
In the city, this kind of food is already considered to be of the upper middle level.
As the Yellow River burst its banks, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues followed. Grain production in the entire Ningzhou region has been reduced by more than 40 percent.
Su Heng could even see that the peasants outside the city had begun to feed on tree bark and grass roots.
"Eat slowly..."
Su Ping looked at Su Heng's dry rice, with a smile on his face, and whispered reproach:
"You have to be safe outside, I've heard during this time that someone has been robbed during the day in the city. Half of the wages that had just been paid were snatched away, and a finger was cut off after the slightest resistance. β
"If you encounter these bandits, don't be stingy with your money, and ensuring your safety is the most important thing."
"No matter how bad it is, I'm your sister, and I won't let you go hungry..."
Su Ping chattered and said, all the things he heard and saw.
Recently, the city has become more and more chaotic, except for going outside to pick up some sewing and laundry work, Su Ping has rarely gone out, and it is rare to deal with other people on weekdays.
Only when Su Heng came back could someone talk to her.
Su Heng is fourteen years old this year.
Su Ping is two years older than Su Hengda, and he is only sixteen years old this year.
Listening to his sister's nagging, Su Heng was thinking about another thing in his heart.
There are a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
Xu Biao, this guy will be a hidden danger sooner or later, do you want to find a chance to kill him.
If it was usual, Su Heng might not have such an idea, but today, after killing Huang Mazi, it seemed that a new door had opened in front of him.
It's a hassle to solve the problem.
It can solve the problem of the person, but it is not necessarily a hassle.
Xu Biao is indeed strong and strong, and he also knows some superficial fist and foot kung fu.
But so what.
As long as he is human, he will be tired, he will be hurt, he will rest... As long as you can find an opportunity, there may not be no way to solve Xu Biao.
And, no matter how bad it is...
A translucent attribute panel appeared in front of Su Heng.
γSu Hengγ
[Height: 167 (cm)]
[Potential: 2]
[Talent: None (When the height is increased to 170 cm, the next talent will be unlocked)]
This rudimentary properties panel in front of you.
It is the second role of the Immortal Eater talent.
As Su Heng's size grew, the Immortal Eater talent could bring Su Heng all kinds of talents and powers beyond ordinary people.
Su Heng clearly remembered that this morning, his height was still 165 cm.
But as the medicinal power of the hundred-year-old ginseng was absorbed and digested by the body, his height was also growing rapidly at an unreasonable rate.
After dinner, Su Heng lay on the bed to rest.
There was occasionally a faint sound in my ears when the second sister Su Ping bit off the line, and this sound lasted until the second half of the night, when it disappeared with the sound of blowing out the oil lamp.
β¦β¦
The next day.
Su Heng got up early in the morning and went out with the oil cakes prepared for him by his second sister.
Again to Wukui Mountain.
Su Heng hesitated and returned to the valley where he fell off the cliff yesterday.
He stood on a raised stone in the distance, and looked down, and Huang Mazi's body was gone, leaving only a pool of dark red blood and a few strips of cloth in place.
"I guess I was taken away by a wild beast in the mountains..."
A hanging heart, finally let go.
Su Heng took out the booklet of Huangmazi to record the "treasure land", and compared them with each other according to the approximate geographical location of Wukui Mountain in his memory.
Half an hour later.
Su Heng found a hidden pool.
Near the waterhole are lush pine trees, with wide leaves overlapping and only a thin ray of sunlight falling on the ground.
The surrounding humidity was heavy, and the smell of rotting plants was permeated, which was not unpleasant.
"Sure enough, there's something good!"
Su Heng rummaged on the ground for a while, and sure enough, he saw a dark red Ganoderma lucidum.
Ganoderma lucidum can be roughly divided into six kinds according to different colors: purple, red, green, yellow, white, and black.
However, after all, it is a genuine reishi.
The price will not be cheap.
"Jute seeds should be wanted to wait for Ganoderma lucidum to reach a certain year before picking, but unfortunately it is cheaper for me now." Su Heng thought thoughtfully.
Naturally, he would not make the same mistakes that Jute had made.
Dig out the Ganoderma lucidum directly with a shovel and put it in your back basket.
"I remember blindly strengthening the body and nourishing the blood, and this Ganoderma lucidum is the main medicine in it..."Su Heng did not intend to swallow the Lingzhi directly like yesterday.
That's too wasteful.
The medicinal power in the reishi cannot be completely released.
Next, Su Heng spent half a day searching for the other two places recorded on the map.
There are also some gains, but they are all ordinary Chinese herbs such as black hair tea, yellow essence, and gastrodia grass, which are of limited value and are not very rare.
"The materials for nourishing blood powder are almost ready."
Su Heng came to a hidden cave.
Inside the cave there are pots and pans, and even thatch to keep out the cold.
Herb pickers are quite a hard profession, and in order to earn the money needed for life, it is very common to go into the mountains for ten days and half a month to stay for a while.
This cave is the secret base where Su Heng's father once lived.
Sadly, his father is no longer there.
"Goo-goo-goo!"
Su Heng began to process the medicinal herbs with his hands and feet, and after half an hour, the soup pot began to boil, and a strong bitter taste of Chinese medicine permeated the cave.
"It should be almost time." Su Heng blinked.
When the lid of the pot was lifted, there was a black viscous liquid inside the soup pot, and some of the rhizomes of the red lingzhi could be faintly seen.
