"When it comes to collecting medicine, whatever my brother and sister say, we will do." Lu Zhiqiang, who was following behind Tang Mian, said.

Zhang Yi, who was walking at the end, also spoke, "Yes, Mrs. Lu can only tell me if she has something." ”

Tang Mian replied lightly.

Fortunately, Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi were able to fully obey the command. That way, it's a lot easier.

As we approached the mountains, the sun was already shining through the gaps in the leaves. Lu Zhian motioned for the team to stop for breakfast and rest for a while.

"Where we're going now, there are relatively few beasts, and when we go in later, we can carefully look for any valuable medicinal materials." Lu Zhian sat under a big tree, took a big bite of the meatloaf and said.

Tang Mian took a sip of water and nodded, "Okay." ”

This time I went into the mountains, and I could just find the dogwood that Zhuang Zhuang needed for treatment.

Dogwoods like to grow at heights of more than 100 to 400 zhang.

Tang Mian looked at the depths of the mountain, and he didn't know if he could find it in the mountain.

After the group finished resting, they continued to move on.

On the way, Tang Mian also saw a lot of medicinal materials, which had not been encountered in the periphery, but they were not valuable, so Tang Mian did not stop.

However, after walking a long way into the mountains, Lu Zhian found a He Shou Wu plant, and Tang Mian dug it up.

Unexpectedly, the He Shou Wu excavated this time weighed several catties, and Tang Mian guessed that the year must not be short.

"Great!"

"I've finally paid off."

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi said in surprise.

It was the first time for the two of them to go into the mountains to collect medicine, and they walked for almost a day without fishing anything, and they were always unhappy.

Well, now that they have picked such a big He Shou Wu, even if they don't find the ginseng they want in the end, they can make a deal with the county magistrate.

Although Lu Zhi'an and the three of them did not react as much as Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi, having He Shouwu meant that they had money to take, and they were also very happy in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.

Especially Lu Dashan, his expression was slightly excited compared to Lu Zhian.

Carefully putting He Shouwu into the back basket, Tang Mian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mrs. Lu, I'll carry the basket." Zhang Yi volunteered.

Tang Mian smiled and did not object, "Then it will be troublesome to catch the head." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, Mrs. Lu is polite." Zhang Yi said again and again.

Then he strode forward and carried the basket on his back.

"Alright, let's move on." Lu Zhian said.

After the words fell, he looked around and continued: "Next, we are going to take another path. There was a small high slope over there, which was relatively empty, and we rested there at night. ”

"Okay." Everyone has no opinion on Lu Zhian's arrangement.

Several people adjusted their formation and got back on the road again. When the sun was sinking in the west, we walked to a small high slope.

When he arrived at his destination, Tang Mian was asked to sit and rest and not do anything.

Of the other five people, Lu Zhiqiang stayed in Xiaogaopo to defend his position to protect Tang Mian, Lu Dashan and Lu Daneng were responsible for collecting firewood and dried leaves, and Lu Zhian and Zhang Yi were responsible for hunting some small prey for dinner.

Tang Mian leaned against a big tree, looking at the colorful sunset in the sky, and his expression gradually relaxed.

After a while, a few big men did everything quickly.

"Brother and sister, we have to go deeper into the mountain tomorrow." Lu Zhian skewered the chicken, lit the fire and said.

Tang Mian retracted his gaze to appreciate the sunset, and looked at Lu Zhian and the others and said hello lightly.

Speaking of the deeper part of the mountain, everyone's relaxed mood tightened slightly.

But for a moment, he changed to a relaxed look.

"The chicken will be roasted for a while, so let's eat some snacks to cushion our stomachs." Lu Daneng took out the baggage he was carrying, opened it and said.

When they heard this, they all looked at him.

"Lu Zhutou, you still have snacks?" Lu Zhian looked at him with some incredulity.

Lu Daneng smiled, looked at Tang Mian and said, "The dim sum was given to me by Mama Liu, saying that Mrs. Lu likes to eat it." ”

Tang Mian was slightly stunned after hearing this.

Lu Daneng glanced at her, walked over with a paper bag for snacks, and handed it to her.

Tang Mian stretched out his hand to take it, opened the paper bag and took a piece and put it back in Lu Daneng's hand, saying, "Let's eat together." ”

Lu Daneng was not polite, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu." ”

Dim sum is a thing that doesn't last long.

After eating snacks and talking about tomorrow's plans, a few people smelled the rich aroma of roast chicken before they knew it.

"The chicken is roasted." Lu Zhian spoke, and he was not afraid of being hot, ripped off a chicken leg, put it on a clean village leaf and handed it to Tang Mian.

Tang Mian was not polite, and directly reached out to take it, "Thank you, Brother Lobby." ”

"Little things."

The group ate roast chicken, chatted for a while, and then took turns to rest.

Tang Mian didn't have to keep vigil, and he was surrounded in the middle, and there were people to protect him from all sides.

At dawn the next day, the group rested, had breakfast, and went deeper into the mountain.

Although Lu Zhian has not been to the deeper places of Qingzhu Mountain, he has rich experience in the mountains and forests, so he still walks in the forefront with a thick wooden stick in his hand.

The rest of the people are still walking in the order of yesterday.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the six of them were nervous and didn't dare to be careless, for fear that something would happen suddenly.

Ginseng, two plants of thirty years old were picked yesterday. Therefore, Lu Dashan and others now also know the appearance of ginseng. Along the way, carefully and carefully observe the surroundings, hoping to find an old ginseng plant in the next moment and complete the main task of this time.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

Along the way, I didn't find any trace of ginseng, and I was inevitably a little discouraged.

"Zhi'an, are we going to go all the way in this direction?" Lu Daneng looked at the weeds around him that were taller than people and asked.

Lu Zhian carefully brushed aside the weedy trees in front of him with a wooden stick, and replied as he walked: "It should be." I don't know what's going on in front of me, so I can only take it one step at a time. ”

"Moreover, everyone must be ten percent spirited, there are fierce beasts around here."

Lu Daneng paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know what it is?" ”

The others also pricked up their ears and listened to Lu Zhi'an's answer.

"I guess it's a wolf, and a bear."

When several people heard this, they all gasped.

Wolves basically live in packs, and bears are quite difficult to deal with.

It's better to have only one, but both.

It shouldn't be so unlucky, right?

Just when a few people were secretly worried, Lu Zhian spoke again, "After I found out, I deliberately avoided the possible location of them. ”

Call!

Several people breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, experienced is different.

"Lu Zhi'an, can you finish your words in one go?" Lu Daneng stroked his fast-beating heart and said.

Lu Zhian chuckled, "As soon as my voice fell, didn't you just continue to ask, I could only answer your question first." ”

Lu Daneng was speechless, "According to this meaning, or is it my fault?" ”

Lu Zhian held back a smile and responded: "It's me who is too slow." ”

Tang Mian and the others also showed a hint of a smile, and the heaviness that had been pressed in their hearts for half a day dissipated a lot. (End of chapter)
