Chapter 20 Grass
Funiu Mountain. Three hundred miles west of Fangyang City. The mountain is oriented in a north-south direction. It is famous for the abundance of herbs in the mountains. Every summer solstice, the day when the herb is ripe like Hanlu. Most of the medicine pickers near Fangyang City will go to the mountains to try their luck. Naturally, the merchants under the mountain saw that it was profitable, and set up some shops to buy medicinal herbs in the village of Funiu at the foot of the mountain. Time has grown, and a small market has actually formed in Funiu Village!
It was already evening, and Zhang Sen jumped out of the carriage with a sore back and Chi Daokuan. He handed over the 32 copper plates that he had counted twice to the coachman.
"You've come to this place a lot, find a cleaner inn! Damn! This car is really bad!" Zhang Sen took the medicine collection frame handed over by Chi Daokuan. Feel free to take a look. Medicine hoes, straw ropes, snake sticks, and insect repellent drugs are messy, and there are a lot of them.
"You still use what you say, 32 copper plates have driven a distance of 300 miles, do you still want to be comfortable!?" Chi Daokuan carried the medicine frame with one hand. Verbal mockery. He walked straight to the east end of the village
In front of a somewhat old yard. Zhang Sen watched in some surprise as Chi Daokuan knocked on the door. Somewhat uncertain, he asked, "I don't see the signboard here." ”
Chi Daokuan ignored him and continued to knock on the door twice. Shaoqing, a middle-aged woman who was plainly dressed but looked extremely dignified, opened the door and looked at Chi Daokuan outside the door. smiled and said, "Count the days, you should also arrive." The room had been cleaned the other day. He glanced at Zhang Sen. "Who is this?"
Chi Daokuan patted Zhang Sen on the back: "My father's personal disciple!" The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Sen twice. Laugh and laugh. Led the two of them to the hall. "You two came just in time, Xiaocao just cooked. Let's do it together. ”
Chi Daokuan didn't shirk either, and didn't even say a polite word: "Okay! I've wanted to try Xiaocao's craftsmanship again for a long time!
"Don't say this in front of her, she'll beat you, right, you two go first. I'll bring you chopsticks. The middle-aged woman paused. Turn around and head to the kitchen.
Zhang Sen frowned. It's very familiar. Also, that little grass that can beat people, where is it sacred?
Take advantage of no one. The pond is wide and the pace is slow. Explain to Zhang Sen.
"My father and Aunt Li should have known each other for a long time, and when he first brought me to Funiu Mountain, he stayed in an inn by himself. Instead they threw me here. Later, naturally, I lived here. He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Sen, who had a strange face. The voice was low: "I know what you're thinking! No way! I think I look like Aunt Li? Oh, yes." Aunt Li is not surnamed Li, Li is her surname with her deceased husband, but she also has a daughter. It's called grass!"
in the hall. A short-haired girl who was the same age as Zhang Sen, but her breasts were obviously a little swollen, saw the two guys walking together from a distance, muttering, and didn't get up. The chopsticks tapped lightly on the plate, "One more person." "The sound is a little crunchy. It's an itch to listen to.
Looking at the familiar hairstyle, Zhang Sen was a little surprised. This world is the ethics of the parents who are exposed to the body. This girl is a little deviant! Aunt Li is also open-minded!
"Yes, yes. Isn't it just an extra penny!" Chi Daokuan didn't care about the girl's attitude. I didn't know where to move two stools. Lay down your seat next to the grass. Instead, he sat outside.
Zhang Sen reflexively glanced at Xiaocao's chest again. Only then did I begin to look at the girl who was still a little girl in my eyes. His face was flushed and slightly dizzy. Apparently inherited the mother's excellent genes. It's not spectacular. But it's always a beauty! Coupled with this kind of body that has obviously advanced its development, this Chi Dao is so relieved!? Leave yourself a seat for this beauty? I don't believe it if I kill him!
Naturally, Zhang Sen pulled out the stool next to the grass and put it back on the outside of the wide stool. Then I sat down.
Aunt Li walked into the hall and happened to see this scene. I was a little surprised. She knows the charm of her daughter very well. I couldn't help but think in my heart: I didn't expect this child to be a little old, but he is a bit of a Taoist. No wonder Chi Yuan's over-eyed guy wants to accept him as a disciple!
took the chopsticks and tapped lightly on Chi Daokuan's head: "Naughty!" Only then did he explain to Zhang Sen: "Xiaocao, she hated boys a little when she was young. That's why I don't like boys coming to her."
Chi Daokuan took the chopsticks handed by Aunt Li. Hand Zhang Sen a pair. continued with a wicked smile: "She is very good at fighting." So you know."
Zhang Sen glanced at the short-haired girl in front of him with some surprise, the words that fought hard came out of Chi Daokuan's mouth, at least it showed that Chi Daokuan couldn't beat her! Chi Daokuan couldn't beat her after practicing boxing for more than three years! What is the situation!?
Chi Daokuan gulped down the grass while eating the grass-made vegetables. "Not bad, good, it tastes great!Xiaocao, is there any news from Funiu Mountain recently?"
The beautiful girl named Xiaocao ate delicately, frowned, and ignored Chi Daokuan. Apparently did not want to talk at the dinner table.
Chi Daokuan ate a cold nail, and he was not angry, but a little sneering: "At home." Got used to it."
Zhang Sen looked at Chi Daokuan interestingly on the side. Xindao, it seems that he was beaten lightly
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Aunt Li went back to the room to rest. Xiaocao looked at the two of them who were separated from her by some distance. Nodding in satisfaction.
"A few days ago, the old Li Tou and his gang in Xiaowangzhuang picked a 'banana ginseng' on the back of the cow, and they were unlucky, and it was Jiji monkey who guarded the 'banana ginseng'. Four people died. In the end, 320 taels of silver were sold to the Li family pharmacy. I don't know the exact year of 'plantain ginseng'. ”
"Yesterday, Song Huzi and his gang in Song Lizhuang found a 'clutch grass' on the 'horns', and sold the news to the Li family pharmacy for 100 taels of silver. ”
"That's it!"
Xiaocao took out the terrain of Funiu Mountain that he had drawn with Chi Daokuan in the early years. Hand it to Ikemichi Kuan who stepped forward. Chi Daokuan used his finger to gently move over the somewhat yellowed paper. On one side, his mouth was broken: "In other words, the two points of 'cow's back' and 'ox's horn' are nothing good for the time being!" looked up at Xiaocao, who was frowning. "Did you find out where they got up the mountain and the specific path they took?"
Xiaocao lowered her head, and her white fingers pointed to the two directions on the map. "This is the point where they go up the mountain. As for the specific path to take, they are all veterans, so they naturally know how to hide their deeds. As long as they don't say it, who knows?"
"Then when they go up the mountain, and when they go down? Do you know this?" Zhang Sen walked over at some point, looked at the map and interjected.
"The mountain on the hour. When you go down to the mountain. Xiaocao glanced up at Zhang Sen. The eyes are a little shiny. Obviously, I already understood what Zhang Sen meant.
Chi Daokuan pointed to the map and slid it lightly on the paper: "Five and a half hours." From here, follow the usual travel speed of the herb picker. Arriving at this location is still somewhat affluent, that is, they should have turned a corner around here. The turning point should be here, that is, "a clear itinerary slowly appears on paper!"
"Song Huzi and his gang went up the mountain in Maoshi, and Shenshi went down the mountain for about five hours, which means that this is here!" Xiaocao's white fingers trembled slightly. Eyelashes are slightly raised. Glancing at the handsome man in a cyan robe again. This man is not useless!" Xiaocao thought to herself. At least it's better than the idiot of Chi Daokuan!
