The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 9 009 Give you the leaves

Zuo Shicao picked up the vegetable dumplings, Qu Jingming held the pot, Old Man Qu carried the basket, Wen held Zuo Jiang, Zuo Ge followed behind Zuo Hua Zuo Shi, and the group ran forward quickly.

"What, why is it so fragrant? You can still smell it, and the person is gone?" The man in Tsing Yi, who was in the lead, squinted his nose, only to feel a scent piercing his nostrils.

"People must not run far, chase!" The humane who followed behind said.

There are about ten men in this group, all of them are strong men of Kong and Wu. There are no old, weak, sick or disabled, not even a woman or child.

"What are you chasing! Don't forget what we are here for." The man in green clothes said angrily.

"Boss, why don't you chase it? There are still such delicious things these days. Maybe it's a big family with a lot of money. When we get it, we will be able to eat and drink spicy food! Maybe we can even become a landlord. Dangdang."

The younger brother in the back said the more he thought that was the case, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Boss, chase it!"

"Fart, you know when you think about these beautiful things, do you think this smell is like meat?" The man in blue asked angrily, "What is in your mind, don't think about it, if there are such beautiful things, it's your turn ?"

The subordinate: "...Boss, I can't take your words, I said they have money, you said no, none of us have seen them, no one can do what they say, you just want to say you are right Yes, I can only succumb to your arrogance, but I can reserve my opinion."

The man in Tsing Yi laughed angrily: "Stinky boy, you are still reasonable, and you have plausible words in your mouth. If you have the ability, you can find the ginseng. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you find the ginseng, He Daguan will definitely pay a high price. Don't talk about chasing it. The Master’s three melons and two dates are not impossible even if I give you 1000 taels of silver!"

"If you want me to say that He Daguan people are whimsical. These days, the sky is open, the trees that grow well, it is good to be alive. If you can't even survive the food, you can still have wild ginseng on your body? I'm not saying it, anyway, I No report, too much hope."

The subordinates cursed in their mouths. Seeing the unpleasant expression of the man in blue, he changed his tone and said flatteringly: "Boss, you are right, anyway, it is just to go around the mountain and try your luck. What if you find it?"

Anyway, if he can't find him, they will arrange meals for them when they go to He Daguan's house.

These days, it is a rare thing to be able to eat enough, to have delicious meals, and to have a bite of meat every day. Needless to say, there are wages and silver rewards.

As long as He Daguan people are willing to pay them, even if they can't find it, they are willing to run around in the mountains.

It's a pity that He Daguanren said that there is only one month, and everyone will disband within a month whether they can find ginseng or not.

Because of He Daguanren's old mother, she could not survive without ginseng within a month.

The man in Tsing Yi snorted coldly: "Just do it, when you say something good, why is it so wrong? If you have the strength to speak, you may have good news when you go to the market. Don't get into the small nose. Small eyes, staring at something bigger than sesame and mung beans. Promising!"

The subordinates nodded and bowed.

The man in green looked at the people scattered around, and turned his attention to the well in the valley: "I didn't expect there to be a well in this place, but they are lucky. It seems that there is no certainty around here, there are really precious medicinal materials."

After all, the wells can be seen, indicating that the groundwater resources here are relatively rich, and the trees here are better than other places.

If you want to find ginseng, it's hard to say, you have to start from here, after all, it is much more difficult for people to grow than weeds.

There is always a group of people in front, running fast.

For fear of the people behind chasing after.

"Will they come to snatch our vegetable dumplings?" Zuo Hua said.

"I think they will come to snatch our cassava." Zuo Ge said.

"No, I think he will come to snatch our medicinal materials." Qu Jingming said.

"Then let's run!" Zuo Jiang said.

Zuo Shi, Wen Shi, and Master Qu: "..."

The more they talked, the more worried they became, and the movements under their feet became faster and faster.

But after a while, no one came after them.

A few people really couldn't move, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Old Man Qu gasped heavily, pulled the medicine box, and sat on the ground.

He quickly got up again, opened his medicine box, looked up and down, and found that the bottles and jars inside were not damaged, so he climbed up with confidence.

"Let's walk slowly. I don't know who is coming behind. It's quite loud."

"As long as we don't rob us, it's fine."

"Hey, as far as the formation of our team is concerned, people with a little bit of strength will stare at us, okay? So we must hide the cassava and sprinkle more leaves on the cassava. No one cares about the leaves, maybe They thought we were crazy hungry, and laughed at us as fools, and at most looked at us twice."

"You're right, on the road, you really need to be careful."

Several people stopped talking and talking.

Mr. Qu stumbled, stumbled by a stone under his feet, and fell down a hurdle with a tug of war. He rolled down a gentle slope for two laps before stopping.

Old Man Qu grinned and rubbed his arm with his backhand, and it took a while to ease the pain.

Then he got up, his eyes suddenly, just a few meters in front, there was a layer of green things.

"Astragalus!"

What did he see?It's actually Astragalus.

Astragalus is a good medicinal material, rare!
Mr. Qu got up, ran forward, and carefully took out a small hoe to dig.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Qu Jingming shouted from above, with a cry in his voice: "What's wrong with you? Promise me, are you alright?"

But I didn't hear the voice of Mr. Qu.

Qu Jingming cried anxiously: "Grandpa, you can't be in trouble. What if you have anything to do and leave me alone?"

Mr. Qu finally reacted and frightened his grandson: "Jingming, I'm fine, I saw Astragalus below and I'm digging."

Only then did Qu Jingming feel relieved: "Grandpa, you really are. Promise me, it makes people worry."

Mr. Qu laughed twice and turned his head to dig for the medicinal materials.

Dig up the astragalus and climb up from the bottom of the slope.

Everyone surrounded Mr. Qu and asked a few questions. Seeing that he was not injured, they went on the road as usual.

"Stop, what are you doing? I will drive this road, and I will plant this tree. If you want to pass from here on, leave it to buy road money."

A few big men with disheveled faces came out of the corner and shouted at them.

Zuo Shi was stunned, why is this line so familiar, why did he encounter a robbery again?
"Little brother, we have no money and no food, we are already waiting to die when we walk on the road, and we can't even find a root of wild vegetables. Look at our building here are full of leaves, how about we give the leaves to you?"
