Chapter 43 Collecting Medicine

Miaojiang produces all kinds of herbs, especially in the area of Miaonan, the sunshine is abundant, the air is humid, the plant grows, and many precious and rare medicinal materials in the world are only produced here. Many Miao people mostly go into the mountains to collect medicine and catch snakes for a living, because the rarer the medicinal materials, the more dangerous the place where they grow, some grow on the steep walls of the cliffs, some grow in the thrilling swamps, and even some grow directly in the caves of monsters.

The process of picking these medicinal materials is full of danger, there are always Miao people who die because of collecting medicine, but the Miao people who have lived here for generations have a difficult life, the road in Miao Xinjiang is rugged, and there is little contact with the outside world, so the more difficult the medicine picking business, the more profitable it is, and many large tribes in Miao Jiang have also organized local villagers to form a professional medicine collection team to regularly enter the mountains to find medicine.

The cottage of the golden eagle is the largest tribe in the local area, and the medicinal material business is also their main livelihood, and they have not gone out to mine for several days, which is already a big loss for the life of the Miao people.

But the golden eagle also repeatedly told everyone that Miao Nan's demon path was cunning and insidious, and it was very likely that he was still lurking in the dark, and each team carried weapons and was assigned a certain number of masters to accompany them.

Lin Chunxi and the others came in and were still recuperating, these teenagers were very active in the past, and naturally they all wanted to participate in the collection of medicine together, but the golden eagle was worried about their safety, and it was not unified at first, but under the insistence of everyone, Mo Ji also opened his mouth, so the golden eagle reluctantly agreed to let only Luo Yifei, Tao Ye and Chen Yiyao follow the team to travel.

Among them, Luo Yifei is most interested in Miao Jiang's medicinal herbs, he has studied all the books related to medicinal materials in the world in the past, and feels that only Miao Jiang can be called the most abundant in medicinal materials, so he is willing to let go of this opportunity.

Originally, he was still very worried about the baby girl, but in recent days, Bailing often helps take care of the baby, and the baby girl seems to like Bailing very much, especially when she sees the appearance of people dressed as Miao people, her little face is always full of smiles, which is very likable, and the golden eagle has also arranged a special person to take care of it, so Luo Yifei can rest assured that she can travel with the team.

Before dawn, two teams of herb collectors had quietly set off, one into the mountain, and the other into the swamp. Chen Yiyao was a lonely and arrogant person, who loved cleanliness and didn't like the humidity of swamps, so he went into the mountains with the team, and their main task was to find the precious medicinal herbs that grew on the cliffs.

Luo Yifei and Tao Ye went to the swamp with another team, Luo Yifei knew that the more dangerous and damp the swamp, the easier it was to produce cherished strange flowers and poisonous weeds, Luo Yifei and Tao Ye were both masters of using poison, so they were naturally very interested in this line.

Before the trip, Mo Ji also repeatedly told the three of them, in addition to paying attention to their own safety, but also to pay attention to protecting the Miao people, because the golden eagle took them in in distress, according to the form and style of the devil's way must be repaid, there will be revenge, and now the magic road outside the village has retreated for unknown reasons, and it is very likely to attack the Miao people's medicine collection team halfway.

After all, the customs of Miaojiang are different from those in the Central Plains, where the climate is humid, but whether it is a deep mountain or a dense forest, the flowers and plants are extremely lush, this kind of scene is rare, which also makes the three of them addicted. Especially Luo Yifei, many flowers and plants that could only be seen in books before, this time under the explanation of the team leader Miao Min, he finally saw the real body, and was able to observe carefully at close range, fulfilling one of his wishes.

Thinking of his senior brother Hua Suhua, if he knew what he had seen and heard on this trip, he would definitely feel even more annoyed that he was not selected to participate in this trip, Luo Yifei was even more secretly happy, he didn't talk much in the past, and he gradually began to talk to Tao Ye along the way.

After Chen Yiyao and his team entered the mountain forest, they went straight to the direction of the cliff, their goal on this road is very clear, that is, the Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff, usually when the Miao people pick Ganoderma lucidum, they use a rope to hang the person who picks the medicine from the top of the cliff, and then slowly put it down, and the other people pull the other end, loosen the rope little by little, and wait for the people below to get the Ganoderma lucidum, and then pull the person who picks the medicine up.

Therefore, this way of collecting medicine is very dangerous, because people are hanging in the air, they can't borrow strength under their feet, and many actions can't be performed, and the Miao people draw lots every time to decide who will go down to collect medicine, and the people who go down to risk will get the most medicinal herbs.

The same is true today, before preparing to start picking Ganoderma lucidum, the Miao people knelt down to the mountain god as usual, after the incense, everyone began to draw lots, this time the lottery was a sixteen-year-old boy, don't look at his young age, but it is said that he has participated in several operations with the team, and he is very experienced.

Chen Yiyao sat on a big rock with great interest, eating the fruits picked in the mountains, and watching the Miao people pick medicine on the cliff. The young man who won the lottery bowed three times to the mountain, and then a few people came over, and tied one end of the rope firmly around his waist, several big men grabbed the other end of the rope, and then pulled it tight, the young man had no fear on his face, gave everyone a gesture, and then turned over, grabbed the stone on the edge of the cliff with both hands, and moved down a little bit, each time before sinking, he would use a predetermined signal to pull the rope, and after the person above got the signal, he would loosen the rope a little so that the people below could slide down the cliff。

In fact, when Chen Yiyao practiced the Light Body Dao Method in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he also practiced on the edge of the cliff, so the steep mountain that seemed very dangerous to others could be like walking on the ground in Chen Yiyao's opinion, although he did not have the ability to cultivate to the point where he could soar through the clouds and mist, but he was still very confident in the kung fu of climbing the cliff.

The operation of picking Ganoderma lucidum was very smooth at the beginning, because it had rained in the mountains recently, so the cliff was very slippery, and the resistance of the rope was very small, and the young man skillfully moved down inch by inch.

But the further down the mountain, the wetter the mountain wall became, and many places could not be stepped on hard, and the speed of action slowed down, and the strong men who were responsible for pulling the rope on the mountain soon were also sweating profusely, but no one relaxed, holding the rope firmly.

Soon, the boy picked a Ganoderma lucidum, although the Lingzhi was not big, but it was also a victory, and his heart was full of joy.

Just as he pulled the rope and was about to continue descending, Chen Yiyao noticed that there was something unusual in the air, and two Dapeng began to hover over them, and the experienced Miao people also began to get nervous, because the Dapeng in the mountains was fierce and abnormal, and they dared to fight with the wolves on the ground in the past, and they circled here, and they must have mistakenly thought that this group of people was here to sneak attack their lair.
