The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 23

The three of Chu Xu rode horses and followed the swaying mule cart, feeling extremely contemptuous in their hearts.To tell you the truth, this distance, if they hurry up, they will arrive in two days. This one is good, it has been wandering for two or three days, and they have to sleep and rest at night. How can there be such a squeamish herb-picker?

But I don't want to see you anymore, and I don't dare to urge people.

God finally heard their complaints, Shi Chuying poked her head out, and greeted Li San, "Hurry up, Master Li, rush to the village today."

Li San cracked his whip, and the mule started to run.

If he didn't run again, Li San felt that a hole was about to be stared at him.

After bumps and bumps, the group finally arrived at Wangyun Village.

Shi Chuying told Li San: "If these people live in our house, they will pay 50 Wen per person per day, and the food will be paid separately." Then they went back to the room by themselves.

As soon as the light came on the next day, Chu Xu and the others were fully dressed and wandered around the yard.

Last night, Shi Chuying ordered Li San's family to prepare more food to take up the mountain today, and these people also spontaneously asked for dry food and water.Therefore, as soon as Shi Chuying went out, she saw this scene.

Reluctantly, Shi Chuying greeted them to have breakfast together, threw the sundries in the basket to these laborers, and set off for the mountains.

In early summer, Wangyun Mountain is green and verdant, and wild flowers of various colors are blooming on the hillside. The rare wild flowers are very interesting. They seldom appear alone. They are all yellow, purple, white, or mixed. It feels like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

Although Shi Chuying didn't like to ride a horse, she couldn't greet Yundiao, so she had to ride the horse given by Chen Tianbao, and Chen Tianbao and Zhang Cang rode together.

After walking for an hour, they arrived at the mountain pass and entered the jungle. They had to leave their horses and walk. They had to leave Chen Tianbao outside to guard the horses. Chu Xu and Zhang Cang followed Shi Chuying into the jungle.

Shi Chuying drew out the machete and cut while walking. After a while, Chu Xu took the initiative to take over the job of opening the way.Shi Chuying satisfactorily pointed east and west behind her.With labor to open the way, it saves a lot of effort.

The medicinal material that Shi Chuying is looking for is not very precious, the key is that it is not easy to find, and it has only one purpose, so most people don't pick it.She had only found a few pieces in the deep mountains before.

In this deep mountain and old forest, the trees are all connected with branches and leaves, and the vines are entangled. It is very slow to walk. Chu and Xu sighed as they walked. It is really not easy to collect herbs.Otherwise, before finding the medicinal materials, people would be exhausted and collapsed.

"Be careful!" Before the emotion was over, Shi Chuying exclaimed, and Chu Xu also felt the abnormality on his head.Raised the hatchet and swung it over, a thick snake body flew out bloody.

"Crack!", and another cut fell in front of Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang jumped back.

The two raised their eyes and looked around for a while, and the whole person was not well.Seriously, what the hell are these things!You have to defend against the top of the head if you defend the front and the rear?Isn't this impossible to guard against?

Shi Chuying ignored them, went forward, found the upper half of the snake's body, took out a sharp knife, cut open the snake's head, found the poison sac under the teeth, squeezed it into a small jade bottle .He took off the fangs again and received them in a small kit.

"What do you want this thing for?" Chu Xu asked curiously like a baby.

"Snake venom is also medicine. This green-spotted python is very poisonous. If you are bitten by it, you will have to lie down within five steps." After saying that, the two glanced at each other, slowly got up, packed their things, and walked go forward.

"The poison of the snake tooth is still there, it is used as a hidden weapon or something..." Zhang Cang stretched himself, and suddenly felt a little chill all over.

This girl is so abnormal.I can't afford it!
"This way!" Shi Chuying told Chu Xu to continue to open the way, swearing in her heart, two idiots with no experience in the jungle!If she hadn't brought this with her, it would have been over long ago.

With this accident, Chu Xu was extra careful, looking ahead and not talking, even the top of his head, his whole body tensed up.It can't be faster to walk like this.Fortunately, after walking for about half an hour, Shi Chuying yelled to stop.It turned out that she found something to pick on a big tree.

It's a slimy, soggy stuff.Tan, sticking to the trunk in pieces, like fungus that just came out, it looks disgusting.Shi Chuying called this "tree snot".

This tree snot has no other use, but no other bacteria can grow in the place where it spreads, and the ones that have grown will be mushy.

This is what Shi Chuying discovered because she likes to observe. Generally, whoever gathers herbs cares about this.

Shi Chuying took out the jade box and asked Zhang Cang to hold it. She shoveled off a piece of tree snot with a small jade shovel, and asked Chu Xu to scrape it into the jade box with a jade board. Sticky enough.

Look, Chu Xu scraped it off and couldn't get it into the box, and Shi Chuying over there had already gone to shovel it again.Chu Xu took great pains to deal with this sticky thing, and finally threw it into the box, sweating almost.

There are not many on this tree, and only about one-fifth of the box is filled after shoveling.

Several people continued to walk in.Chu Xu asked without looking back, "How much of this stuff do we have to shovel?"

Shi Chuying looked up at his generous shoulders, and said in a polite voice: "How much do you think it would take to wipe your whole body once? If you change it every five days, at least three or five times, who knows how many boxes can be used?" Woolen cloth."

"Are there many things?" Chu Xu turned around.Shi Chuying dropped the wild flowers in her hand and said: "I don't know about other places, I only collect herbs in this mountain. This thing is not common in this mountain."
