Chapter 024: Sacrificing His Life to Collect Medicine

Khan, I forgot to upload it at noon, sorry, everyone.

Li Wenjun did not think about buying several kinds of herbs and medicinal quotations, including Mochizuki Cliff Grass, from a medicine picker like Sun Baicao, and when he copied the information of Mochizuki Cliff Grass and other medicinal herbs at Sun's house, he knocked on the side and asked Sun Baicao.

Sun Baicao told him that the several medicinal herbs he inquired about were very rare in Wufeng Mountain, and it was possible that he might not be able to encounter one in a year or two, even if he had it in the hands of other herb pickers, if he wanted it, it must be a sky-high price, and there were no dozens of taels, or even hundreds of taels of silver, so he didn't want to buy them at all.

Not to mention whether he can get these herbs from the hands of the herb picker, even if he can get them, it will definitely cost a lot of silver, and when he gathers all the herbs, there is a chance that there will be not much money left. He still has to eat, he has to live, and he has to leave some money to keep around. What's more, there is an unavoidable risk that he will be noticed by doing so, and if the thieves are summoned, he will have no place to cry.

Cracking open a few pecans with a stone, Li Wenjun laboriously peeled off the hard shell of the pecans while looking around, looking for a way forward. Today's weather is good, the sun is clear and the wind is clear, and it is approaching the fifteenth, and the evening must be a bright moon, which is a good opportunity to find the moon cliff grass. He had already planned to look for the Mochizuki Cliff Grass a few more times in the next few days, and if he couldn't find it, he would have to go down the mountain.

When it was almost dark, Li Wenjun found a cliff, he spread a piece of felt on the ground, then lay on the edge of the cliff, poked his head out of the cliff, and looked at the plants growing on the cliff.

Li Wenjun forcibly wrote down the location, size, and shape of the growth of these plants, so that in case there was a moon cliff grass on this cliff, he could use guò to compare and lock it with the fastest degree.

Lying on the edge of a cliff is not an easy task.

As soon as the stone on the edge of the cliff fell off, he had to fall off the cliff and die. The wind here is generally relatively strong, and if you are not careful, you may be blown down and still have to die. And this kind of thing, boring, easy to get sleepy, the danger of falling asleep on the edge of a cliff, that is self-evident.

Li Wenjun thought of many ways to avoid risks, he usually looked for trees, boulders and the like, and fixed himself on them with ropes to prevent him from falling off the cliff. In this way, even if he falls asleep, even if the stone falls off, he will not fall at least.

But not every cliff side will have a tree or boulder that can fix him, at this time, Li Wenjun will take a bite of a wild pepper that he unintentionally appeared on the mountain, relying on this kind of spicy energy that can make people feel like they are about to burn, he can often last for a long time without being sleepy.

It was dark, and the full moon, which was almost full, rose into the sky, and Li Wenjun's eyes widened as he looked at the plants on the cliff. He can clearly see the plants on the cliff within ten zhang, this distance has been far beyond ordinary people, but the cliffs are generally relatively high, relatively deep, and hundreds of zhang high, which are common things, hundreds of zhang, thousands of zhang cliffs, it is also not uncommon.

The length of the rope brought by Li Wenjun is limited, that is, more than 30 zhang, and he can't reach this distance. And at this distance between ten zhang and more than thirty zhang, he needs to use something like a torch to be able to see.

According to common sense, it is the easiest way to light the torch and throw it down the cliff, but Li Wenjun did not dare to do so. The most likely consequence of this is to cause wildfires. The weather is dry, the fire is merciless, and if the fire surrounds him, he will not try to please him.

What's more, if he throws the torch out, he can't control the trajectory of the torch falling, if the torch falls on the cliff, and there happens to be Mochizuki cliff grass growing there, won't he cry to death? What's more, if he chooses the method of throwing the torch, just making the torch is a very hard and time-consuming job.

Li Wenjun thought of a way to solve this problem, he found a dead branch more than two zhang long, made it into a pole, found some tree vines, and put a few rings on the pole. He put the rope through the rings, made a bracket out of branches and ropes, hung the bracket at the end of the rope, lit the torch, stuck it in the bracket, stretched the pole out of the cliff, lowered the rope little by little, and searched the cliff with the help of the light from the torch.

Of course, in doing so, Li Wenjun still can't fully control the trajectory of the torch, once the mountain wind blows, the torch may hit the cliff, and it may ignite the plants on the cliff. The possibility that the Mochizuki cliff grass was burned still exists. But he really couldn't think of any other way than this one. He had already thought that the next time he entered the mountain, he would definitely bring a few lanterns and more candles.

This time, Li Wenjun first searched the situation within the ten zhang range, and he did not have any signs of the existing Mochizuki Cliff Grass Storage. He showed his homemade tools, slowly released the rope, and lowered the torch, using the faint light of the torch to search for the Mochizuki Cliff Grass.

When the rope was released, there was still no trace of the Moon Cliff Grass. Li Wenjun was not reconciled, he tried his best to poke his upper body out of the cliff, opened his eyes wide, and tried his best to find the traces of the Mochizuki cliff grass.

Although Li Wenjun's eyesight is far from ordinary people, it also has a limit, and he can still see clearly within the range of fifteen or sixteen zhang. Once he had crossed this distance, he could only see a vague outline of what was growing there, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Suddenly, a plant with a few peach heart-shaped leaves suddenly broke into Li Wenjun's sight. Visually, this grass grows at a distance of thirty zhang away from the top of the cliff, Li Wenjun can no longer see clearly, and his vision is already very blurry when he arrives here.

During the day, Li Wenjun clearly remembered that he did not have any traces of existing plants in this location, and the leaves of the Mochizuki Cliff Grass happened to be peach-heart-shaped, so Li Wenjun was quite sure that this was the Mochizuki Cliff Grass that he had been looking for for a long time without results.

To make sure he hadn't misjudged, Li Wenjun pulled the torches up, then tied the three torches together and reattached them to the stand. When three torches are burned at the same time, the light emitted is naturally not comparable to that of a single torch. When Li Wenjun released the rope to the end again, with the help of the moonlight and firelight, he once again vaguely saw the plant with peach heart-shaped leaves.

Probably it is!

God willing, it must be!

Li Wenjun was worried that there would be an accident, so he put away the torches and poles, and then found a leeward place near the cliff, and waited for the dawn excitedly and apprehensively. It wasn't until the second half of the night that he fell asleep.

As soon as the day dawned, Li Wenjun woke up, he rushed to the edge of the cliff with an arrow step, poked his head out of the cliff, looked down, and where he saw the plant with peach heart-shaped leaves yesterday, there was basically nothing to see at this time.

It must be Mochizuki Cliff Grass!

Li Wenjun was excited, no matter what, he wanted to get his hands on this moon-gazing cliff grass. He began to prepare to climb down the cliff and pick Mochizuki cliff grass.

On this cliff, there were several trees, and Li Wenjun tried their firmness, and then tied one end of the rope to the trunk of the thickest tree in it. Then he dropped the rope off the cliff, put a few tools that might be used in the medicine basket, and then put the medicine basket on his back, and then, grasping the rope with both hands, he kicked the outer wall of the cliff with his feet, little by little, and carefully slid down.

These are a full set of medicine collection tools given to him by Sun Baicao, which are specially created based on the experience accumulated by the Sun family in their hundreds of years of medicine picking career, which can ensure safety to the greatest extent, but this does not mean that there is no danger at all.

Li Wenjun didn't dare to be careless, he carefully controlled the degree of the slide, and chose the foothold when he fell. He slid to the end of the rope, but at this time, he was still about a foot away from the Mochizuki Cliff Grass.

At this moment, Li Wenjun's position is not up to the sky, but it can't touch the ground, the top is more than 30 zhang away from the top of the cliff, and the foot is 40 or 50 zhang away from the bottom of the cliff.

If there is enough time, Li Wenjun will not choose to take risks, but what he lacks most now is time. If he returns to the county seat and takes a longer rope, he will only be able to enter the mountain again when the spring of next year comes. At that time, it was difficult to say whether or not this Mochizuki cliff grass was still growing here.

This means that once you miss it this time, whether you can meet it again next time is going to be lucky.

Li Wenjun didn't think much about it, he decided that this time, no matter what, he would also collect the Moon Cliff Grass. He pulled out the dagger, which was only half cut in size, and dug a few places to settle on the cliff. There isn't much left of this dagger, but it's still sharp, and digging the stones on the cliff is like digging tofu, which is very easy.

After digging the foothold, Li Wenjun fixed the rope again to prevent it from drifting in the wind, and then he untied the buckle that held him and the rope together, and then used his hands and feet to climb the cracks in the cliff, protruding stones, etc., like a gecko, and climbed down little by little.

This kind of thing is definitely the first time for him, he has no experience, and no one to guide him, he is completely supported by the strong desire to get the Mochizuki Cliff Grass, to complete this extremely dangerous thing.

Fortunately, the cliff he was on was the kind that went straight up and down, and there was no such dangerous area of convex and concave. Manpower is sometimes poor, if the cliff is very uneven, Li Wenjun has no more desire, and then wants to step into the road of cultivating immortals, and when he arrives here, there is only a dead end.
