Chapter 30: Witty cannon fodder
Although the three brothers of the Zhang family are Zhang Long as the boss, they have the right to speak only if they have strength in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, it is the third Zhang Biao who says it.
He glanced at Xiaokang and Su Xin indifferently, as if they were all dead people, and said: "At this time, the sky will be bright, the silver krait snake will come out of the day and night, it is estimated that it has just returned to the cave to rest, it is the time when it is tired, the vigilance should be reduced, let's set off at this time." ”
After that, he clapped his hands, flashed out a gang of people and took out some strange-shaped forks and handed them to everyone, he saw that everyone was suspicious, so he explained: "This is the snake trap I specially asked someone to build, which is made by imitating the tools in the hands of snake catchers in southern Xinjiang." ”
Zhang Biao raised the fork in his hand and said: "The outer layer of this fork is wrapped in silver water, which has the effect of anti-poison, and the tip of the fork is a small branch. This snake is very venomous, and you must not touch it directly with your hands. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Biao took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, about three inches in size, waved his hand and said: "This thing is the Shaolin Antidote Pill, even if everyone is really accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, they can save their lives." ”
Everyone should be, so an old medicine picker led the way and walked towards the cliff where Yunmeng Immortal Medicine was located.
Su Xin looked for a way, but found that the road they were walking was heading towards Yunmeng Valley, and he couldn't help frowning, the master outside Yunmeng Valley had laid out a Qimen formation, and it was impossible for ordinary people to find out.
He was puzzled in his heart, and after a short time, he arrived outside Yunmeng Valley, but the leader bypassed the road to Yunmeng Valley, but bypassed all the way to the bottom of the cliff behind Yunmeng Valley.
This cliff is at right angles to the ground, and there is nothing but a few small bushes scattered here and there, and ordinary people must not be able to climb it.
The sky was cloudy, and there was still a little coolness in the mountains, Zhang Biao's body was slightly swaying, and the dew on his body fell to the ground, and said coldly: "Xiaokang, you and the people you brought will go to investigate, and the others will go up later." ”
As he spoke, two herb pickers handed them both their pickaxes.
Xiaokang's face changed, but he immediately held back, he thought that he would be able to leave safely by successfully picking the fairy grass for the gang, but looking at the posture of the three masters, it was obvious that he and Su Xin were the cannon fodder at the head.
The chances of so many people picking fairy grass together will be much greater, and even if something happens, they can take care of each other.
But now only the two of them climbed up, and the rest of them only watched from below, I am afraid that it was more to see if they would alarm the silver krait, so that they could avoid the risk.
Xiaokang gritted his teeth, knowing that the arrow was on the string, he had to send it, surrounded by many of them, how could he escape from the battle, but fortunately, this was the last time he was in danger for them.
A herb picker pointed to the ground about thirty zhang above the ground on the cliff, where three small shrubs could be faintly seen, and said: "Yunmeng Fairy Grass is in the bushes on the left-hand side, you should be careful not to hurt the fairy grass, the silver krait snake is most likely hiding in the cave behind these three bushes, be careful!"
The boss said in a deep voice: "Xiaokang, be cautious and don't lose your life, it is also a great achievement to bring out the silver krait." ”
Xiaokang nodded, and silently took Su Xin to slowly climb up the mountain.
A dozen people at the bottom of the mountain watched the two climb indifferently and carefully, hoping to see the trail of the snake when it appeared, so that they could avoid danger as much as possible.
No one showed mercy, whether it was the Jianghu people or those medicine pickers, they all understood that only their own lives were the most important thing in this world, and it was the best thing to have someone to stand forward and explore the way.
Fortunately, the mountain wind was not strong on this day, but it slowly blew away the clouds on the edge of the cliff, and the two struggled to climb to a height of fifteen zhang, and they were surrounded by white clouds, as if they were in a fairyland.
Xiaokang glanced down, only to see that the people at the bottom of the cliff could no longer see clearly, if they fell, there would be no bones, and he couldn't help but tremble, his feet slipped, and a stone fell under the cliff, but he couldn't hear the echo.
Xiaokang quickly adjusted his body, took two deep breaths to calm down his frightened mood, and reminded Su Xin on the side: "Don't look down, the hoe is stable and goes up step by step, we will be fine." ”
Xiaokang muttered to himself, and he didn't know if he was praying for Su Xin or for himself.
Su Xin sighed secretly, although Xiaokang is smart and clever, he is just an ordinary person who knows a few kung fu, and it is still too reluctant to climb this kind of mountain.
Fortunately, the wind on this mountain wall has been blown and rained for a long time, and some places have weathered and fallen off, and it is not dangerous to find the right position with the hoe and step on it steadily and slowly.
The two of them gradually climbed higher, and the originally gentle wind became cold, as if they were dissatisfied with their violation of the majesty of the cliff, and as if to remind them of the danger ahead, it was better to retreat as soon as possible.
The more Xiaokang climbs up, the more afraid he becomes, except for his own wheezing, there is only the sound of the wind, and there is no abnormality at all, which is the biggest abnormality.
The wind was blowing very strongly, but the sweat on Xiaokang's face still didn't stop for a moment, he wiped the sweat on his face again, and scolded in a low voice, and he didn't know who he was scolding.
The two of them were so close to the bushes that they could climb in just a cup of tea.
But the cliff in front of him has become smooth and mirrored, and it is no longer possible to climb up by relying on the kung fu of the well-off.
Xiaokang's eyes flickered, and he smashed a small ten pieces with the hoe in his hand twice, and threw them towards the three bushes one by one after aiming.
I heard only three muffled sounds, and then the stones fell off the cliff.
Xiaokang was not surprised, so he simply grabbed a handful of sand beside him and threw it all over the bushes.
The bushes on the right-hand side moved slightly.
Xiaokang's face was happy, and he smiled at Su Xin: "The stone wall in front of me is smooth, and I can't climb up, but I went to find the trace of the silver krait, let's go down and make a difference!"
As he spoke, he slowly went down the mountain.
Su Xin didn't understand at first, but when he saw Xiaokang's smiling face, he suddenly realized that he was using the trick of scaring the grass and scaring the snake to avoid trouble for himself.
The mountain wall is smooth, not to mention the danger of climbing hard, and there is a possibility of being attacked by poisonous snakes, but if you don't do it, you may be blamed by the people of the Dragon and Tiger Gang.
After startling the snake, there is a suitable excuse to go down.
Su Xin looked up at the bushes that were said to be covered with Yunmeng Immortal Grass as he climbed down, and at first glance, he had a strange look on his face.
After the true qi in Su Xin's body changed, his eyes were even better, and he was far away, but he could still see clearly, the Yunmeng Fairy Grass was as clear as jade, but it was the size of a palm, one stem and three leaves, and at this time, there were crystal dewdrops condensed on the leaves, which looked very cute.
The reason why Su Xin's face was strange was because he had seen this so-called Yunmeng Immortal Grass, not only had he seen it but also eaten it, well, it tasted a little sweet, and it was quite delicious.
The Dragon and Tiger Gang worked hard to search, and the Yunmeng Immortal Grass that Xiaokang almost had to risk his life to collect, there was a large area growing in Yunmeng Valley, and it was a herb commonly used by Master Hanquanzi when he laid the foundation for their junior brothers.
Su Xin looked at the well-off who slowly climbed down with joy on his face, and had a deep understanding of the scarcity of precious medicinal herbs in the rivers and lakes!
