Chapter 37 Collecting Medicine
The figure of the figure shuttled quickly through the mountains, and in a short time it reached the river at the west end. I saw an orange glow in his right hand, and then he stretched out his hand into the river and stirred it for a while.
"Who's ......?"
A loud roar came from the river, followed by a cyan figure breaking through the water.
The man was a thin man, dressed in a teal gown, with blue scales on his cheeks and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth that almost reached his chest.
At this moment, his face was full of anger, and his eyes stared at the figure on the shore.
Hu Da had said earlier that there was a fish demon living in the Xitou River in the mountains, and I thought that this cyan figure was what the fish demon looked like after its transformation.
The man on the shore looked at the majestic appearance of the fish demon, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and said, "More than four hundred years of cultivation...... What a good monster!...... I'm going to be a big step away from the fire today!"
The fish demon looked at the man's calm appearance, and for some reason he felt a little chill in his heart, and immediately said, "Since you know that I have been cultivating for more than 400 years, why do you want to trespass into my cultivation place?"
"Hehe......"
The man sneered and said, "It's only more than four hundred years of cultivation, although it's a little troublesome." It's not tricky, though!"
"Who are you? Why are you here? If you don't give an explanation, don't blame me for being polite!" The fish demon faintly felt in his heart that the person who came seemed to be a little unsimple, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and secretly used mana in his hand.
The man glanced at the small movements of the fish demon, but he didn't seem to care. I saw that the mana around him was condensed, and after a while, a few spirits and phantoms appeared.
Among those phantoms, there are tigers as large as small mountains, giant pythons that are several feet long, and birds of prey with wings spread out as if they can cover the sky and the sun......
Seeing those phantoms, the fish demon instinctively felt that something was wrong, and the mana in his body was running rapidly. Immediately, a huge column of water rose from the river below him and swept away at the man on the shore.
It's just that...... The moment the water column touched the phantom, it was torn apart in an instant, and the phantom castration not only hit the fish demon's body directly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the fish demon turned around and fled into the river.
Who knows, a few phantoms rushed out of the body of the person on the shore again, and stopped the fish demon before it entered the water.
The fish demon was trapped, and immediately trembled all around, transforming into a giant herring with a body as large as a mountain, trying to use the power of the body to break free from the shackles of those phantoms.
Those phantoms were extraordinary, but it couldn't break free at this moment.
Immediately after, an orange flame flew from the shore and landed on the fish demon's body.
"Ah...... Ah......h
The fish demon howled loudly in pain, and in desperation, he manipulated the water in the river to extinguish the strange flames on his body.
Who knows, the water falling on the flames only fuels the power of the flames. It didn't take long for the fish demon's aura to get weaker and weaker.
The man manipulated the phantom to pull the fish demon to the shore.
I saw him press his palm on the fish demon's body, and after a while, the fish demon's body became shriveled and became a real dried fish.
The orange light flashed on the man's body, and the expression on his face became somewhat satisfied.
Then, with a flick of his body, he hurried north, as if he had gone to the place where the black bear was.
After about an hour's effort, the man walked out of the old bear's cultivation place. I saw him clutching his chest in pain, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.
"This old bear! Xiu Wei is really not weak, and he almost broke it in his hand......"
......
Four or five days later.
At the foot of Meishan, two villagers, one tall and one short, went up to Meishan together.
"Erniu, is there really a hundred-year-old medicinal herb on this mountain?" the shorter villager asked his companion.
"Of course, what I saw with my own eyes, there will be a fake? As soon as the old gentleman of Renxintang said what the medicinal herbs looked like, I immediately remembered it......
The Gaozhuang villager named Erniu said categorically.
"That's good! That's good!"
The dwarf villager patted his chest and replied with a happy face.
At this time, Er Niu suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Da Chun, that medicinal herb is worth thirty taels of silver! One of us can also get fifteen taels of silver for half." This money...... Have you figured out how to spend it?"
Da Chun thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... First of all, I will tear a piece of flower cloth for my daughter-in-law, and make a new dress for her and my mother, who have not worn new clothes for many years. And also...... I bought my dad a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, and he kept talking about the shoes.
I'll let my daughter-in-law hide the rest, and the dog is nine years old, and I plan to send him to school next year......"
After a while, Da Chun completely planned the use of the fifteen taels of silver.
"What about you, why don't you buy something for yourself?" Erniu asked.
"I don't need it! These clothes are all good, and they can be worn for several years! These shoes are also made by my daughter-in-law, and they are very good...... You see......"
Da Chun raised his foot and motioned to Erniu to look at his shoes.
The upper looks good, but the sole is almost smoothed, and it won't last long. And the clothes on his body, Er Niu vaguely remembers, it was made by his mother when Da Chun first got married more than ten years ago.
It has long been worn to tatters, that is, his daughter-in-law is skillful, and she repaired it for him with the cloth she picked up, otherwise where would she wear it!
However, Erniu also knows that most people in the village are poor, and Da Chun is already good.
"What about you...... How are you going to spend it?"
Da Chun asked.
Erniu lowered his head, and he didn't know what he thought, so he was a little embarrassed. After a while, he squirmed and said, "I plan to ask Mrs. Su to tell me a daughter-in-law!"
"Which girl do you fall into?" Da Haru asked.
The expression on Erniu's face became more and more shy, and he twisted for a long time, and only slowly spoke under the urging of Da Chun: "Widow Lin in the west of the village......"
"Widow Lin?" Da Chun was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Widow Lin is not young, and she still has two children......
"With the conditions of my family, which yellow flower girl is willing to follow me?" A trace of loneliness flashed on Erniu's face, and then said: "Besides, Widow Lin is not bad. Moreover, it is good to have two sons for nothing, how good it ......"
Erniu said it easily, but the loneliness on his face couldn't be concealed.
If there is a way, who would want to marry a widow who is much older than himself?
Da Chun didn't know what to say, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, there are many people who know about the old gentleman Renxintang's request for medicine." I'm going to be late, I'm afraid I'm going to be preempted......"
As soon as he heard this, Erniu couldn't care less about his sadness. This is thirty taels of silver, and there are definitely not a few people who are greedy, and if you continue to delay, I am afraid that this money will have nothing to do with you.
When the time comes, not to mention Widow Lin, I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will not be able to marry.
Immediately, the two of them quickened their pace and continued to ascend the mountain.
Not long after Erniu and Dachun left, many villagers came to Meishan. These people all looked in a hurry, obviously coming for the medicinal herbs.
A figure emerged from the shadows, quietly looking at the villagers who were going up the mountain.
"Why are there so many people on this mountain today?"
