Volume 1 Visiting Taiwan Chapter 11 Distress in the Mountains

On this day, Xu Changsheng deliberately got up early in the morning, but he couldn't ask Li Tui to deliver tofu like yesterday, and he said that he couldn't let his sister make trouble.

It would be good for them to let Xu Changsheng deliver tofu for them, even if it didn't cost a few dollars a day, but fortunately, Xu Changsheng was allowed to live.

Otherwise, I really don't know how a person should grope to grow up.

If you go early, you will come back early. So Xu Changsheng was ready to take advantage of the sunny weather and prepare to go into the mountains to collect some medicine, although he would not starve to death by delivering tofu, but he also had to pursue a little bit of a life, right?

And it won't be long before Li Ruan's family moves out, and Xu Changsheng will be unemployed, so he has to save some food in advance.

As soon as he said go, he tied his shoes and trouser legs, put on his medicine hoe and medicine basket and left. And after bringing enough lunch, this time Xu Changsheng was going to go into the deep mountains to take a look, after all, the medicinal materials on several nearby mountains had been almost picked, and only some worthless herbs remained.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Xu Changsheng was like a different person, sensitive and fast, after all, people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the mountains also eat people.

The mountains are getting more and more barren, and there are even no roads in some places, Xu Changsheng can only rely on the advantages of his body to drill forward, in this kind of place, there are valuable herbs, but there are also many poisonous snakes and beasts.

Although the people in the town have never been into the deep mountains, they don't know very well, but Xu Changsheng has a deep experience, in the early years, Xu Changsheng was young and inexperienced, and he also went into the mountains once.

That time, Xu Changsheng watched two wild boars fight because of estrus, but he ploughed deep ditches on the ground, if he hadn't learned to climb trees since he was a child, Xu Changsheng would have felt that he would have to give them his life.

The huge fangs only need a slight pinch to penetrate their stomachs.

The coarse cloth boy carefully put the herbs he had just dug into the back basket and continued to walk deep into the mountains, after all, wealth and danger were sought.

Maybe you can dig up a century-old ginseng or something, you don't have to worry about it for a long time, you can even buy something delicious to eat with Aunt He, and you can also put some small snacks at home, and when Liang Mi comes, you can also let him have a luxury.

Walking to a mountain col, near the stream, the mountain is damp, mossy and mossy, birds chirp overhead, and fresh animal footprints can be seen on the bank. Xu Changsheng couldn't help but tremble a little, no matter how bold he was, he was just a teenager.

Xu Changsheng walked cautiously to the stream, lowered his head and wiped his face with water. As soon as I looked up, I was stunned.

On a small mound opposite, a small purple flower bloomed extremely brightly, and it seemed that the fragrance could be smelled from a distance.

Xu Changsheng swallowed his saliva, he really wanted to come to something. I came across a ginseng plant in such a place!

However, Xu Changsheng was not carried away by joy, there was a ginseng growing in this kind of place, and most of them would be guarded by fierce beasts.

After all, there is only one life, Xu Changsheng thought about it for a while, and decided to retreat.

But it was too late, and on a big tree opposite, a pair of green eyes were staring straight at him.

Xu Changsheng's right hand tightened the medicine hoe in his hand, and he ran away with the wild leopard, there was only one way to die! No matter how fast he ran.

Since you can't run, you can only go up.

Xu Changsheng slowly pulled out the useless firewood knife behind him with his left hand, the fact that he was left-handed was only known to him, his father and Liang Mi, and now only he and Liang Mi knew, which had also become a secret between the two of them.

The wild leopard let out a low roar, bent its limbs, and swooped down from the tree.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly dodged to the side, and took advantage of the situation to slash the firewood knife at the wild leopard.

But the wild leopard's fur was too smooth, and it only scratched a wound, which stimulated its ferocity.

As soon as the front paw was pulled, a big cut was made on Xu Changsheng's leg.

Xu Changsheng gasped in pain, and his movements slowed down a lot. I can only roll to the side and dig into the belly of the wild leopard with a Chinese medicine hoe.

Immediately, a large wound was dug up, and the fur fell on the stomach.

The wild leopard roared and continued to pounce on Xu Changsheng, condescendingly opened its bloody mouth and bit down.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly picked up the firewood knife and aimed it at its big mouth, and sure enough, the wild leopard bit the tip of the firewood knife, and immediately blood flowed to Xu Changsheng with saliva, emitting a fishy smell.

Xu Changsheng's body trembled in fright, he felt his hands go weak, he twisted his head to look at the stream not far away, and shouted loudly: "Le'an!"

The stream rose and condensed into a human form, turning into Le'an, dressed in white.

Le An looked at the scene in front of him, directly stretched out his right hand, aimed at the wild leopard, opened his five fingers, and a water arrow appeared in the air, shooting out at the wild leopard's forehead.

The water arrow exploded on the leopard's head, and a deep wound appeared on his forehead.

The wild leopard was in pain again, and then he knew that he was invincible, dragged his injured body, and turned his head and ran towards the mountains. After a few Tengyue, he disappeared.

Xu Changsheng struggled to get up from the ground, only to find that a wound had also been scratched on his chest by a wild leopard. The clothes also became tattered, although it was not good at first, but after this time, I really didn't dare to go out in them.

There were flowers hanging everywhere on his body, and they were all drenched in blood, but Xu Changsheng could bear it, and he suffered much more pain when he was a child than these.

Le An also came up from the stream, looked at Xu Changsheng's wound, played an immortal method, and a green light filled around the wound, and then frowned, "Xu Changsheng, why did you run into such a deep mountain, looking for death." ”

Xu Changsheng sneered: "Isn't this wanting to collect more herbs." ”

"Money is important, life is important, next time you run to such a remote place, I won't come to save you. Le An pointed to Xu Changsheng's wound and said.

Xu Changsheng shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not coming, I'm not coming." ”

This time, to be honest, Xu Changsheng was really frightened, and now he was still in a cold sweat, thinking that he was capable enough. If it weren't for Le'an, I might not really be able to go back this time.

After the dense green light dissipated, Xu Changsheng found that the wound was no longer bleeding, but it was still bright red. Le An was a little embarrassed and shrunk his neck, "That's all I can do, there's no way." After speaking, he scratched his head, "I've been thinking about it myself for a long time, but my cultivation still hasn't made any progress." ”

"No, no, that's good. ”

Then I cleaned the wound by the stream, and by the way, I took a little freshly picked herbs, chewed them, and put them on, and it hurt again.

Without the threat of wild leopards, Xu Changsheng carefully dug out the ginseng, and found that the year was quite sufficient, and it was estimated that it might be hundreds of years.

So he hurriedly asked Le'an to cast a spell, don't let the effect of the medicine lose so quickly.

Then dragged the injured body and went home with Le'an along the stream.

Back at home, Xu Changsheng didn't care about changing his clothes, just wiped his face and went to the pharmacy. After all, the 100-year-old ginseng is sold sooner, the medicinal effect will be more, and the price will be more.

I visited several pharmacies that usually sell medicines, but they didn't give him a satisfactory price.

This is also normal, a lonely man and a half-size, who will not bully you and bully you? It is considered moral to give you a little money, too little? Okay, then don't sell it to me.

In the end, Xu Changsheng went to Sun Qiao's newly opened pharmacy, which was opened in the south of the town, not new, it is said to be an old pharmacy under the plate, but it has also been renovated and brand-new. Xu Changsheng was carrying a big medicine basket on his back, and his body was still in tatters, and as soon as he entered the door, he knew that he was a small medicine farmer.

Just as the bead curtain sounded, the shopkeeper and Sun Yuexuan walked out of the back room, Xu Changsheng was slightly surprised, "Miss Sun is also here." ”

Sun Yuexuan was stunned, but she didn't expect to meet Xu Changsheng here. And looking at it like this, most of them are still here to sell medicine, and the clothes on their bodies are still dyed bright red, so it is estimated that they are injured.

Sun Yuexuan frowned, he and Xu Changsheng were not familiar with each other, they had only met a few times, but they couldn't stop Su Sheng and Xu Changsheng from having a good relationship, basically every time they went out to play together, Su Sheng would mention Xu Changsheng, so he also had a good sense of Xu Changsheng.

Seeing that Sun Yuexuan had been staring at him, Xu Changsheng smiled awkwardly. Quickly took down the medicine basket from behind him and said, "I'm here to sell medicine."

When it comes to the business of the bank, the shopkeeper is naturally familiar with it.

Xu Changsheng took out the herbs one by one, and the shopkeeper estimated the price one by one. When Xu Changsheng finally took out the hundred-year-old ginseng, the shopkeeper was stunned. After observing it carefully for a while, he asked tentatively, "One hundred taels, does the kid sell it?"

Xu Changsheng just wanted to agree, and in several other pharmacies, the highest price was only eighty-five taels, but he didn't expect it to rise by fifteen taels as soon as he arrived.

Sun Yuexuan on the side coughed, and the shopkeeper said, "One hundred and five taels, what do you think?"

Xu Changsheng is no different, Sun Yuexuan coughed again, seeing that both of them were looking at him, Sun Yuexuan shook her double ponytail and said: "This girl has a bad throat these days, so she came here to prescribe medicine." ”

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, "I see that your hundred-year-old ginseng has just been unearthed, how about I give one hundred and ten taels? ”

Xu Changsheng hurriedly agreed, in case the shopkeeper repented, he didn't cry.

Next, the apprentice in the store counted the money and gave it to Xu Changsheng, one hundred taels was given to silver tickets, and the others were given broken silver. Xu Changsheng's hand was shaking when he received the money, he had never seen so much money in his life. Hiding the money close to his body, he suddenly felt that the wounds on his body were not so painful.

Xu Changsheng picked up the medicine basket and prepared to go back. The shopkeeper suddenly stopped him, "Xu boy, the hundred-year-old ginseng you sent happens to be a medicine that we urgently need, and it has helped us a lot, so let's give you a pair of gold sore medicine." ”

Seeing that Xu Changsheng was a little unconvinced, the shopkeeper shook his hand, "It's really for you." ”

Xu Changsheng took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, shopkeeper, and thank Miss Sun for me." ”

Of course he knew that this was deliberately given to him by Sun Yuexuan, and even the ten taels of silver that rose later could be regarded as given to him by Sun Yuexuan. He and Sun Yuexuan were not familiar with each other, and the reason why she could do this must be Su Sheng.

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

The kindness given to him by the world, he silently remembered it in his heart, and then passed on this kindness.

In fact, the world is still full of flowers.

Back at home, Xu Changsheng opened his father's room, carefully turned up the quilt of the two, and then opened a mezzanine on the bed board, and put the silver ticket and thirteen taels of broken silver into it.

There are also a few taels of broken silver and a silver bracelet stored before Xu Changsheng, which is the mother's dowry, and it is also the only dowry. He couldn't sell it even if he was killed, even when Xu Changsheng was dizzy from hunger back then, and his family's property was almost sold, Xu Changsheng didn't think about selling the silver bracelet.

After putting it away, Xu Changsheng went to change and clean it and put on the gold sore medicine sent by the Sun family.

The next few days were peaceful, Xu Changsheng returned home to read after delivering tofu every day, and also recuperated from his injuries by the way. The relationship with Li Ruan has gradually warmed up, if it was a cousin and brother before, then now it is a real brother and sister.

Liang Mi still runs around every day, and occasionally sets up stalls everywhere with Tan Xiao, Tan Xiao calls himself "Seven Sons of God", while Liang Mi calls himself "Six Sons of God" with a signboard.

At that time, he talked and laughed, but he knocked Liang Mi's brain hard, and scolded: "You can't be a little promising, I'm the seventh son, you won't be the eighth son? ”
