Chapter 18 Life and Death~

Because he had Lin Suisui with him, Lu Ze had no intention of going too deep into the dense forest.

So after walking in for almost an hour, he stopped and settled Lin Suisui in this seemingly safe forest valley.

"The terrain here is relatively open, and there is a stream next to it, which is convenient for resting. Just stay here for now, and be sure not to go too far." Lu Ze turned around and handed the backpack in his hand to Lin Suisui, while not forgetting to treat her carefully.

He explained: "I will explore the surrounding area first, and I won't leave for too long."

Lin Suisui nodded, indicating that she would obey orders and would never run around.

Lu Ze saw that she was obedient, so he didn't hesitate, and simply set out as he said, exploring the area before leaving and walking towards the deeper forest area.

After Lu Ze left, Lin Suisui first lit a bonfire on the gravel ground by the stream according to Lu Ze's instructions, and then turned to look for the herbs she needed in the nearby grass jungle.

This forest area seemed to be rarely visited by people. She looked around and found many medicinal herbs hidden in the grass. However, due to restrictions, she had to temporarily let go of those that were not easy to preserve.

Select the ones that are most useful at the moment and put them in the backpack behind you.

Lin Suisui remembered that she had said before that good ginseng could be found in the mountains and forests near the northern border. Although she did not know how far this area was from the final destination of their trip, she still subconsciously

Want to try my luck.

I have to say that Lin Suisui's luck was really good this time.

Just under an old cypress tree on the edge of the valley, she actually saw a familiar bright red color!

The tiny, flame-red fruit was swaying behind the old cypress tree. Lin Suisui recognized it at almost a glance as a very rare ginseng that was still of a certain age.

Even though there was no one else around at this time, Lin Suisui still swallowed nervously.

She quickly pulled out a red silk thread from the belt tied around her waist, and then walked over carefully, following the old custom, and tied the red thread to the branches and leaves of the ginseng plant.

After this was done, Lin Suisui breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully dig the soil with the small hoe in her hand. She did not dare to use too much force, she simply dug away the loose soil, and she used the rest directly.

I had to use my hands for fear that I might accidentally damage the roots and ruin the medicinal properties.

You know, the medicinal value of a complete ginseng and a slightly damaged ginseng are very different!

Lin Suisui's movements were extremely slow and extremely serious.

With the sunlight pouring down from the gaps between the branches and leaves above her head, she almost didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and was only concentrating on the rare ginseng in front of her.

The entire excavation process was extremely slow, taking almost more than an hour. It was not until Lin Suisui took out the entire ginseng plant intact from the soil that she fell to the ground with some exhaustion, enduring the pain in her legs that felt like needles.

Feeling numb, I laughed a little silly.

This ginseng looks to be about thirty years old. Although it doesn’t seem to be too old, the ginseng has a long and slender shape. At first glance, it is a high-quality plant!

Lin Suisui didn't dare to delay. She sat on the ground and rested for a while, then stood up and wanted to go to the river beach to pack up the ginseng. It would be a big loss if it was damaged due to improper preservation!

She stood up and took two steps towards the river beach in a good mood, when she felt something was wrong behind her.

The vague movement of something made her feel nervous all of a sudden. At first, she thought it was a refugee who entered the depths of the jungle to try their luck like them, so she subconsciously tightened her hand and hid it in her sleeve.

The silver hairpin in his hand turned around cautiously, waiting for any movement in the bushes and shouted: "Who?!"

Although this scolding was not loud, it was still very powerful.

However, Lin Suisui stood there and waited with full vigilance for a long time, but saw that there was no more movement in the bushes, and everything became calm again.

Could it be that she felt wrong?!

Lin Suisui carefully took two steps back. Although she had some self-doubt, she did not relax her vigilance.

Just as she carefully moved back step by step, the bushes that had returned to calm finally started to move again. When Lin Suisui saw the person walking out from there, her whole body was almost shocked.

Stupid on the spot.

She had always heard that there were tigers in the jungles in the north, but she didn't expect that she would be so lucky. It was her first time in the mountains and she encountered such a big treasure!

However, after the initial panic and panic, her survival instinct allowed her to calm down quickly.

Because of this calmness, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the tiger in front of her.

Its spirit looks bad!

That languorous look was like a human being getting sick. The whole tiger looked a little not well. Even when it saw Lin Suisui, a prey that could be used as a snack in front of it, it seemed that there was no trace of it.

Generally speaking, there is no desire to hunt.

The tiger slowly took two more steps forward and stopped less than five steps away from Lin Suisui. However, it did not continue to move forward, but stood there, staring at her.

Although the tiger didn't seem to be attacking, Lin Suisui didn't dare to do anything. She had heard someone say before that beasts like tigers always like to eat live animals. If you pretend to be dead, you can't.

If you move, it might not attack you!

But if you run around in panic, you might become its meal the next moment.

One person and one tiger looked at each other for a while. Although it felt a bit ridiculous, Lin Suisui felt inexplicably that maybe the tiger wanted her help with something?!

Thinking of this, Lin Suisui hesitated again and again, and finally decided to follow her intuition and try her luck.

She mustered up her courage and asked tentatively in a low voice towards the tiger in front of her: "You, the tiger king, do you need my help for anything?!"

The tiger stared at her for a while without making a sound, but still had no intention of attacking.

Seeing this, Lin Suisui felt relieved a little. She licked her lips, carefully moved a step forward, and then asked in a low voice: "Well, if you feel uncomfortable, I will

If you know some medical skills, maybe I can help you."

The tiger didn't know whether it was because he was annoyed by Lin Suisui's words or because he was alarmed by her step forward. He actually reversed his previous attitude and suddenly opened his big mouth and yelled at Lin Suisui.
