The peasant widow is famous all over the world

"We will do whatever my siblings say about collecting herbs," said Lu Zhiqiang, who was following Tang Mian.

Zhang Yi, who was walking at the end, also spoke, "Yes, if Mrs. Lu has anything to do, just give me your instructions."

Tang Mian responded softly.

Fortunately, Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi were able to obey the command completely.This way, it will be much easier.

When we were almost reaching the mountains, the sun was already shining through the gaps in the leaves.Lu Zhian signaled the team to stop for breakfast and rest for a while.

"Where we are going now, there are relatively few wild beasts. When we go in later, we can look carefully for any valuable medicinal materials." Lu Zhian sat under a big tree and took a big bite of the meat pie.

Tang Mian took a sip of water and nodded, "Okay."

This time we went deep into the mountains to find the dogwood that Zhuangzhuang needed to treat his illness.

Dogwood likes to grow at heights of more than 100 to more than 400 feet.

Tang Mian glanced at the depths of the mountain, wondering if he could find it in the mountain.

After the group had rested, they continued moving forward.

On the way, Tang Mian also saw a lot of medicinal materials. These medicinal materials had never been encountered in the outside world, but they were not considered valuable, so Tang Mian did not stop.

However, after walking a long way into the mountains, Lu Zhi'an found a Polygonum multiflorum plant, and Tang Mian dug it up.

Unexpectedly, the Polygonum multiflorum excavated this time weighed several kilograms. Tang Mian guessed that it must be quite old.

"Great!"

"Finally something gained."

Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi said wildly with surprise.

This was the first time for the two of them to go deep into the mountains to collect herbs. After walking for almost a day and finding nothing, they felt unsatisfied.

Now that they have picked such a big Polygonum multiflorum, even if they don't find the ginseng they want, they can still communicate with the county magistrate.

Although Lu Zhi'an and the others were not as responsive as Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi, having Polygonum multiflorum meant they would get money. They were also very happy in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.

Lu Dashan, in particular, looked a little more excited than Lu Zhi'an.

Tang Mian also breathed a sigh of relief as he carefully put the Polygonum multiflorum into his backpack.

"Mrs. Lu, let me carry the basket." Zhang Yi volunteered.

Tang Mian smiled and had no objection, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhang."

"No trouble, no trouble, Mrs. Lu is polite." Zhang Yi said repeatedly.

Then he strode forward and put the basket on his back.

"Okay, let's continue on our way." Lu Zhian said.

After finishing his words, he looked around and continued: "Next, we have to take another road. There is a small high slope over there, which is relatively open. We can rest there at night."

"Okay." Everyone had no objection to Lu Zhian's arrangement.

Several people adjusted their formation and set off again.As the sun set in the west, we reached the small slope.

When they arrived at their destination, Tang Mian was asked to sit down and rest and do nothing.

The other five people, Lu Zhiqiang stayed at Xiaogaopo to guard the position to protect Tang Mian, Lu Dashan and Lu Daneng were responsible for collecting firewood and dry leaves, and Lu Zhi'an and Zhang Yi were responsible for hunting small prey for dinner.

Tang Mian leaned against a big tree and looked at the colorful sunset in the sky, his expression gradually relaxing.

After a while, several grown men quickly did everything.

"Brothers and sisters, we have to go deeper into the mountain tomorrow." Lu Zhian skewered the chicken and lit the fire.

Tang Mian withdrew his gaze from admiring the sunset and looked at Lu Zhi'an and others and said "Hello" lightly.

Speaking of the deeper parts of the mountain, everyone's relaxed mood became slightly tighter.

But for a moment, he put on a relaxed look again.

"The chicken won't be roasted for a while. Let's eat some snacks to cushion our stomachs first." Lu Daneng took out the baggage he had brought with him and opened it.When everyone heard this, they all looked towards him.

"Captain Lu, you brought some snacks?" Lu Zhian looked at him in disbelief.

Lu Daneng smiled, looked at Tang Mian and said, "Mama Liu gave me the snacks, saying that Mrs. Lu likes them."

Tang Mian was slightly startled after hearing this.

Lu Daneng glanced at her, walked over with the paper bag containing the snacks, and handed it to her.

Tang Mian reached out to take it, opened the paper bag, took a piece, put it back in Lu Daneng's hand, and said, "Let's all eat together."

Lu Daneng was not polite, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu."

Desserts don't last long.

After a few people finished their snacks and talked about their plans for tomorrow, they unknowingly smelled the rich aroma of roasted chicken.

"The chicken is roasted." Lu Zhian said, tearing off a chicken leg without fear of burning it, placed it on a clean leaf and handed it to Tang Mian.

Tang Mian was not polite and directly reached out to take it, "Thank you, cousin."

"Small things."

The group shared a meal of roast chicken, chatted for a while, and then took turns to rest.

Tang Mian didn't need to keep vigil, and he was surrounded in the middle, with people protecting him from all sides.

At dawn the next day, a few people took a rest, had breakfast, and walked deeper into the mountain.

Although Lu Zhian has never been to the deeper parts of Qingzhu Mountain, he has rich experience in the mountains and forests, so he still walks at the front with a thick wooden stick in his hand.

The rest of the people were still walking in the same order as yesterday.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the six of them were nervous and did not dare to be careless at all, for fear that something unexpected would happen to them.

I picked two 30-year-old ginseng yesterday.Therefore, Lu Dashan and others now also recognize what ginseng looks like.Along the way, I carefully observed the surroundings, hoping to find an old ginseng plant in the next moment and complete the main task.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

Along the way, I found no trace of ginseng, and I was inevitably a little discouraged.

"Zhi'an, are we going to keep going in this direction?" Lu Daneng asked as he looked around at the weeds that were taller than people.

Lu Zhian used a wooden stick to carefully push aside the weeds and saplings in front of him, and responded as he walked: "It should be possible. I don't know what is going on ahead, so I can only take one step at a time."

"Also, everyone should stay alert, there are ferocious beasts around here."

Lu Daneng paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Others also listened carefully to Lu Zhian's answer.

"According to my guess, it should be wolves and bears."

When several people heard this, they all gasped.

Wolves basically live in groups, and bears are quite difficult to deal with.

It would be better if you only meet one kind, if you meet them at the same time.
It shouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Just when several people were secretly worried, Lu Zhian spoke again, "After I found out, I deliberately avoided the location where they might appear."

call!
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.Sure enough, the experienced ones are different.

"Lu Zhian, can you finish what you want to say in one go?" Lu Daneng said, stroking his rapidly beating heart.

Lu Zhi'an chuckled, "You asked me a question as soon as I finished speaking, so I had to answer your question first."

Lu Daneng was speechless, "Do you think it's my fault?"

Lu Zhian suppressed his laughter and responded, "It's because I'm too slow."

Tang Mian and others also showed a smile, and the heavy feeling that had been weighing on their hearts for half a day dissipated a lot. (End of chapter)
