273. Various preparations
It was a very sunny afternoon, and the two teenagers were leisurely walking on the mountain path, as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers, and they seemed to be looking for something.
It didn't take long for two people to appear on the mountain, their location was extremely hidden, and it was usually difficult for people walking on the road to detect their presence.
"Is that precious herb you are talking about really growing in such a place? We've been looking around here for days, and we're running out of dry food with us, so we should probably go back or we'll starve to death in the wilderness," said the slightly shorter boy.
"Snow, believe me, according to the book, this medicinal herb is called Black Rock Grass, and my favorite thing is to grow in this kind of place where there is not much rain, I have a hunch that I will be able to find it, and when we pick dozens of trees back, the master will definitely praise us, and then teach us more pharmaceutical skills", the taller teenager patted his chest and said confidently with his head tilted.
The shorter boy just sighed and said, "Okay, let's look for two more days, and if you can't find it within two days, you'll go back." ”
"Okay, okay, it's just two days, and if you can't find it, go back."
The woman on the mountain nodded to the man next to her, and the man immediately understood, and then walked back little by little, and soon disappeared within the perception range of Yunyang and Li Baijia.
Both of them invariably showed a shallow smile (hooked. )
……
The man hurried all the way and soon came to the entrance of a village. There is only a simple wooden sign at the entrance of the village, and the sign reads three crooked characters of Youshan Village, maybe the people in this village are not very literate, otherwise such an ugly word is really ugly as a landmark sign.
The village is not very large, with only ten houses. The houses are made of wood and topped with sun-dried weeds to provide shade from the sun.
The man walked all the way through the village entrance to the house farthest from the village entrance: "The village chief is not good, there are two people walking towards our village, and they are expected to come here in ten minutes." ”
The old village chief, who was still drinking tea, immediately stood up: "Quick, call that adult over." ”
"No, who did you see, was there anything special?"
A grand man's voice rang out from the roof.
"It's two young people, the older one should be only twenty years old, and the younger one is estimated to be only twelve or thirteen years old."
The man on the roof frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice, "Two children? ”
The village chief was also a little puzzled: "How can a young man, a child come to such a place, is it lost?" ”
The man's voice sounded again: "Did they say anything?" ”
"Oh, by the way, they said that the purpose of coming here is to find some kind of medicinal herbs, it seems to be called Black Rock Grass, and they also said that they have a pharmacist's master."
The village chief asked, "My lord, is there really such a herb here?" ”
"Black Rock Grass lives in a place where there is not much rain, and there is indeed a chance to find it in this area, but it is a four-grade medicinal material, could it be that their master is a four-grade pharmacist, don't be in a hurry to do it, observe it for a while. Otherwise, if something happens to the disciple of such a character, it will definitely cause more trouble. ”
……
Soon after, Yunyang and Li Baijia saw a small village from afar.
Yun Yang glanced at the sky, and then proposed: "Why don't we go there for the night tonight, and by the way, ask these locals if they have seen the Black Rock Grass, it is rare to see the village, I don't want to continue to sleep in the wilderness." ”
Li Baijia nodded and said, "It's indeed a good idea, and it's not bad to try your luck." ”
The two soon came to the entrance of the village, Yunyang glanced at it, and there were only about 20 people who could be seen, the old people, the women were weaving something, three or four children were chasing me on the road, some men were carrying wood, and some were chopping wood.
It immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village, and even the children stopped playing and looked at Yunyang and Li Baijia, it seemed that they hadn't seen outsiders for a long time, except for the children's curiosity, everyone else showed varying degrees of surprise.
The village chief, who had long known that the two were coming, came to the door in advance and chatted with a man, and after seeing the two young people at the entrance of the village, the village chief took the initiative to walk over with a man.
"Hehehe, welcome to Youshan Village, I am the head of this village, two young people, how could they come to such a place, I haven't seen outsiders for a long time."
Li Baijia and Yun Yang both bowed respectfully, and Li Baijia said with a smile: "The two of us are here to find a medicinal herb called Black Rock Grass, I don't know if the village chief has ever heard of it?" ”
The village chief's face was a little embarrassed: "I have lived in this place for decades, but I have never heard of such a medicinal herb. ”
Li Baijia immediately found a branch from the ground, and then drew it on the ground: "It probably looks like this, the leaves are black, and they generally grow on the cliffs."
"Ah Zhuang, you often go to the mountains to collect medicines, and you have seen such medicinal herbs." Ah Zhuang shook his head after taking a look: "No, I have seen so many medicinal herbs, and you have never painted this one." (Such a precious medicinal herb, if I had seen it, I would have picked it a long time ago, and it would be your turn.) )
Li Baijia took a deep breath: "Alas, it seems that it still doesn't work, it's troublesome, I don't know where to find it." By the way, the two of us have been walking all day, I don't know if we can spend the night here, of course I can't prostitute you for nothing, I'll give you gold, no, it's useless to give you gold coins in this kind of place, um...... What else do I have? ”
"Hahaha, it's rare for you to come to the village as a guest, it's too late for us to welcome you, why do you have to accept your things, I'm afraid you won't get used to it." , The village chief smiled and rejected Li Baijia's kindness.
"Why don't you give a healing pill, so that they can also use it," Yun Yang on the side suggested.
Li Baijia snapped his fingers: "Good idea, I really seem to have such a thing." Come to the village chief's grandfather, these are the two poppy pills I refined a few days ago, which have the effect of effectively treating physical pain, I hope you don't mind. ”
When the man heard the three words of Poppy Dan, his eyes instantly lit up, and before the village chief could refuse, the man said first: "Village chief, you can accept it, otherwise the two of them will not be able to sleep in our village with peace of mind." ”
