This person named Huang Mo, a medicine refiner from the Sanhe Gang in the county town, had also practiced martial arts in his early years, and had also reached the realm of entering the inner qi for the first time.

At this level, he is already a master in Sun Heng's eyes.

As far as he knew, in Qingyang Town, it seemed that only Chen Silong, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and Tong Qianjin, the town guard, were masters of internal qi.

It's a pity that Huang Mo just cultivated his internal qi when he encountered a catastrophe, although he escaped his life, his dantian was broken, his body was seriously damaged, and he sank.

And because of this incident, he lost his wife and children, became a loner, and his temperament became extremely withdrawn.

Now that he is over eighty years old, he has long been decayed and unpopular, if it weren't for the fact that he still has a hand in alchemy, I'm afraid that no one in the gang will care about him.

According to Liu Er, the maid next to him, Huang Mo has a withdrawn personality, but he is extremely particular, and he is very difficult to serve, and once the people around him do something wrong, he is often punished heavily.

Even sometimes when I am in a bad mood, I am often beaten and scolded.

In short, under Sun Heng's deliberate closer-up relationship and softly asked, Liu Er gradually let go of her heart. She bluntly said that in the gang, this senior Huang is one of the few people who are not treated by the maids the most.

Under him, there are several lives of handmaidens and gang servants.

Liu Er and another maid named Yue'e really had no way to be arranged by his side.

Knowing this person's situation, Sun Heng said goodbye to Shen Du on the second day, and led Huang Mo into the mountain with a group of guards.

After several years of exploration, Sun Heng has long been familiar with the front mountain, but the back mountain is rugged and there are many cliffs, and he has not been there much.

The crowd walked and stopped until the second day, when they approached the back mountain.

"Senior Huang. ”

Sun Heng arranged for people to set up tents and prepare to eat, and he bowed down to Huang Mo: "Luan Qi Mountain stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and there are many nameless peaks, so there is the name Luan Qi. ”

"All three places, all in accordance with the terrain you are talking about. ”

"Oh!"

Huang Mo leaned on the recliner and nodded leisurely: "On the way, you can arrange it, you don't have to ask me." This time it's just to explore the terrain, and the herbs will be collected when they come across it, and if they can't be touched, they won't be in a hurry, and they have plenty of time. ”

"Yes!"

Sun Heng nodded when he heard this, and at the same time waved his hand, and someone behind him served the meal.

Four small plates, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, the side dishes are exquisite, the porcelain plate is only the size of the palm, two meat and two vegetables, the rice is steamed just right, the rice grains are full, crystal clear, even the soup has a fragrant fragrance.

"Hmm......"

Huang Mo sat up straight from the chair, looked at the plates of refreshing side dishes in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes! ”

For this trip, Huang Mo is not satisfied with anything at present, the kid named Sun Heng in front of him is careful and thoughtful.

Although he didn't talk much, as long as he opened his mouth, he could guess what he meant and make arrangements.

Especially for food, a cook was found for him in the group, and there were drinks specially prepared for him.

"Let's have some wine, little grandson, can you have a drink too?"

"No!"

Sun Heng shook his head lightly: "The subordinates have to go to the front to explore the way first, I'm afraid of making a mistake when drinking, thank you seniors for your kindness!"

"Huh...... , then you are busy with yours, leave me alone, and when I am full of food and drink, we will go on the road. ”

Huang Mo smiled, his face was full of wrinkles and huddled together, and with a wave of his hand, Sun Heng had already bowed down and left.

Relying on his excellent body skills and familiarity with the mountains and forests, he first explored the previous section of the road, then selected the most stable section, and then returned to the camp where he took root, beckoning everyone to go on the road.

At this time, Huang Mo was already drunk and smoky, lying on the recliner and falling asleep.

Sun Heng had already arranged for this, the recliner under Huang Mo was specially customized, and it could be carried forward by two people or one person on his back, and just when he was asleep, a group of people had already gotten up and headed towards the back mountain.

By the time Huang Mo woke up, it was already sunset, and it was time to set up camp and light the fire again, and start preparing to eat.

All this was definitely an unexpected surprise for him, an old man who was unwilling to move.

He never thought that he could go into the mountains to collect medicine, and he could get things done so comfortably and almost without his feet touching the ground.

And this also made him more and more satisfied with Sun Heng.

In this way, the line stopped, watching the scenery along the way, amusing the wild, and the group did not seem to be on a mission, but like an outing.

Five days later, as they explored the Monkey Valley, they finally came across the first scarlet flower.

"This flower grows in places where the sun has not been seen for many years, and it grows between cliffs and cliffs, accompanied by bellflowers. ”

Huang Mo was lying on the recliner with high spirits, and pointed to a certain place on the cliff above: "Look, there are a lot of bellflowers there, and the purple one among them is the blood red flower." This flower is unique, and there are very few two plants in one place, but it is seeded by a small insect, and since there is one here, there must be one nearby. ”

Now that it's confirmed that there is a blood saffron growing here, the exploration mission is over, and you can go back and prepare for the official collection.

Sun Heng looked upward, and really saw the purple color, which was extremely inconspicuous, but he didn't expect this Huang Mo's eyes to be so good.

"Senior Huang. ”

Sun Heng opened his mouth and asked, "Since this flower is purple, why is it called blood red flower?"

"It's called saffron because when it sees light, it turns blood red and then withers quickly, even when it's picked. ”

Huang Mo was in good spirits today, but he gave Sun Heng science popularization: "It's a pity that once this flower changes color after picking, the medicinal properties will be greatly lost, and only by letting it change color before picking can it meet the requirements." ”

After speaking, he staggered up from the chair and moved his muscles slightly: "You wait." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw him step on his feet, and the whole person was like a nimble long snake, climbing up the cliff, his movements were very strange, his body slid against the cliff, but did not fall down.

He looks old and decrepit, but once he gets serious, he is also very neat.

A moment later, Huang Mo had already come to the place about ten zhang high, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and dropped a few drops on the purple blood red flower.

Then I saw him take a deep breath, and instead of picking, he slid down reflexively.

When he went down the hill, he clapped his palms, showing a rare bit of majesty: "Okay, wait for two hours, this flower will turn red, and you can pick it!"

"Senior Huang is good at kung fu!"

Sun Heng opened his mouth to admire, and said with concern: "But Senior Huang has worked hard, why bother to climb the mountain himself, just leave this matter to his subordinates." ”

"Huh?"

Huang Mo lay back on the recliner and glanced at Sun Heng coldly: "Can you?"

Sun Heng chuckled: "My subordinates have grown up in the mountains and forests since childhood, and they don't have other skills, so they can still give it a try." ”

"Okay!"

Huang Mo closed his eyes: "Then you go and try it, if you can satisfy me, there will be a lot of rewards." ”

"Don't dare to ask for a reward!"

Sun Heng bowed, then walked to the bottom of the cliff, used his hands and feet together, and climbed towards the top.

He didn't have Huang Mo's means, the climb was extremely difficult, and he encountered a thrill on the way, but fortunately, he finally came to the side of the blood red flower without danger, and retreated with difficulty again.

"Good boy!"

Huang Mo glanced at Sun Heng, who was sweating profusely and smirking in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "The hands and feet are quite neat, but it's a pity that I don't know how to use them." ”

Sun Heng was happy in his heart, but his face was impassive: "I want to ask my seniors, why am I so relaxed when I look at my seniors?"

"It's a kung fu called the gecko wall. ”

Huang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly: "I won't pass on this kung fu to you, but some of the tricks in it can be told to you, and it can also save me some effort." ”

"Thank you, senior!"

Sun Heng bowed and bowed suddenly.

"No thanks, even if it's your reward for being busy these days. ”

Huang Mo held his chin and said with deep meaning: "If you can let me go back comfortably in the next time, there will be surprises waiting for you!"
