Chapter 179 Inquiry of news

"The Polygonum multiflorum vintage of three hundred years?"
In the pharmacy, the shopkeeper was surprised at first, then shook his head and said, "This young master, I have been working in the medicine shop for a lifetime. I have never heard of Polygonum multiflorum vintage for three hundred years. Even if it is a Polygonum multiflorum vintage for one hundred years, it is relatively rare! However, our store recently has acquired Polygonum multiflorum for more than eighty years. If you want it, you can go and have a look!"
"Eighty years?"
Li Xiaoran was slightly disappointed when he heard this. They also collected a lot of precious medicines of this age in Tiangong Pavilion, but what he wanted to find now was precious medicines that were more than a hundred years old.
Just as Li Xiaoran wanted to leave, his stroll suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know the person who sells medicine?"
"I naturally know the person who sells medicine!" said the shopkeeper: "The man is named Liu Gen. He is a herb collector in our Zhuti Town. He lives nearby. If the young master wants to find him, he will walk directly along this road. You can see three alleys at the end of the road. The second family in the third alley is Liu Gen's residence."
"Thank you!"
Li Xiaoran thanked him, then set off, and according to the pharmacy shopkeeper, he kept walking along the road. At the end of the road, he really saw three alleys.
Li Xiaoran walked into the third alley, walked to the second house, stopped and then knocked on the closed wooden door.
"Here, come!"
As soon as Li Xiaoran knocked on the people, someone immediately shouted twice inside, and then there was only a slight "creaking" sound. The wooden door was opened, and a middle-aged man with dark skin but strong body came into Li Xiaoran's eyes.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
Li Xiaoran clasped his fists and said, "Let's go to visit the medicinalist Liu Gen."
"I am Liu Gen." The dark-skinned man said immediately after hearing Li Xiaoran's words.
After saying that, he asked more than half of his body to invite Li Xiaoran into the house.
Li Xiaoran asked, "I heard that Mr. Liu has recently picked a Polygonum multiflorum that is more than 70 years old?"
Liu Gen hurriedly replied: "This young master is joking. How can I afford to be a rural villager? As for Polygonum multiflorum, I do have it, but I sold it to Anmin Pharmacy on the street a few days ago. If the young master wants to buy it, you can go to Anmin Pharmacy to have a look!"
"I've already seen it..." Li Xiaoran shook his head and said, "The purpose of my trip here is to ask you where there are better medicinal sites. I want to hire you as a guide and go with me to see if there are any precious medicines such as Polygonum multiflorum, ginseng, and snow lotus that are more than a hundred years old."
"More than a hundred years!"
Liu Gen was stunned when he heard this.
He has been a herbalist for decades, and the treasured medicine he has collected for only about seventy or eighty years. However, with this alone, he is enough to surpass most of the herbalists in Zhuti Town!
But at this moment, the young man in front of him was actually saying that he wanted to find a treasure medicine that had been more than a hundred years old? And it was a rare rare medicinal herb such as ginseng, snow lotus, and Polygonum multiflorum!
Seeing the strange look on Liu Gen's face, Li Xiaoran naturally knew what the other party was thinking at the moment... but he didn't intend to explain why he wanted to find these extremely high-end treasure medicines.
Li Xiaoran took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, lit it in his palm, and said, "This is my deposit. Please ask Mr. Liu to go to the mountain with me for about a month or two. When the matter is over, there will be a reward for the reward!"
Liu Gen's eyes fell in Li Xiaoran's palm.
Although those pieces of silver are broken, they are not small in size. It is estimated that the amount is at least ten taels!
Ten taels of silver were in Zhuti Town. In a serious illness or accident, it was enough to support an ordinary family of three for several years!
Anyone who changes this kind of good thing will be moved! But at this moment, Liu Gen still shook his head, lifted his trouser legs, and said bitterly: "I respect you, but it's not that I, Old Liu, insisted on refusing, but that I was injured some time ago because of herb collection, and I was really unable to move..."
“Mobility impairment?”
Li Xiaoran looked down and saw that Liu Gen's left leg was tied with strips of cloth, all kinds of colors, and tied to his knees!
"How did this get hurt?" Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
Liu Gen explained: "There is Wumeng Mountain in the north outside the town. It is very large and produces various precious medicines. If you look deeper and carefully, you may be able to find the century-old treasure medicine that the young master wants! But there are many beasts in the mountains, especially tigers, mountain wolves, and clouded leopards! My leg was a few times ago when I returned from the journey to collect herbs in the mountains, and I was injured!"
"If the young master wants to go into the mountain to find medicine, you can go to the east of the town to find out. There is an old man Huang living there. His experience in collecting herbs is much richer than that of me, Lao Liu! But remember, before entering the mountain, you should find more experts with high martial arts skills as bodyguards, otherwise..."
Liu Gen gently stroked his left leg, self-evident.
"Okay, I understand, thank you for telling me!" Li Xiaoran thanked him, and then went to the east of the town as this person said. After some inquiries, he finally stopped in front of a slightly old house.
"Hello, is anyone?"
Li Xiaoran knocked on the door, but just knocked on the door panel with his back, and the wooden door that was originally closed was pushed open by him.
"Um?"
Li Xiaoran was stunned, no one was there?
He stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while, wondering whether to stand at the door and continue waiting, or when he came back in the afternoon, he suddenly heard a burst of angrily scolding and quarrels coming from the room, accompanied by various sounds of smashing and smashing.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiaoran immediately pushed the door open and walked into the yard.
There are five rooms in this yard, and the spacious houses are enough to prove that this family is much richer than ordinary people... But Li Xiaoran swept around and found that in addition to the house, all kinds of things in the yard are very old, and there are even two rooms where you can see the empty space and dusty floor inside through the disrepaired windows.
“On there!”
Li Xiaoran said to himself, following the messy quarrel, and the sound of smashing and smashing walked towards a room on the right.
When he walked to the door, Li Xiaoran could see a group of strong men rummaging around in the room, as if he was "not giving up until he digs three feet into the ground"!
