Seeing Cang Xiuxuan change direction, Song Chen took out a few pieces of gastrodia elata from the space and threw them into the basket. The herbs she found before were all of low value. A trip to the mountain must be profitable to make it worthwhile.
I didn't think about it, but Song He gained something.
With a proud look on his face, he showed the things in his backpack to Song Chen, "Sister, what do you think this is?"
Song Chen stretched his head and looked around, only to see a few fist-sized pieces of Poria cocos lying in the basket on his back.
"Poria! Where did you find it?"
"It's not far ahead. I looked around for a while but couldn't find the firmament or nightweed, so I started looking for dead pine trees, and after picking up two of them, I found these."
Song Chen was a little surprised. Not to mention that Jiuling Mountain was really a small treasure house. It seemed that it had accumulated a lot of good things since it had not been inhabited for more than ten years.
"I found a nest of Gastrodia elata. The harvest is just right. Let's go home."
"Well, go home." Song He was not a greedy person.
The time they went up and down the mountain every day was about the same. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a lot of people standing on the road where there were usually not many people at this time. Almost everyone acted in the same way, looking at each other.
Two siblings who just came down the mountain.
Song He looked confused, not knowing what they were doing.
"Sister, what happened? Why are there so many people standing over there?"
Song Chen raised the corners of his lips knowingly, "They are waiting for us."
"Wait for us? Why wait for us?" Song He was puzzled.
"Of course, we are waiting to see if we can come back safely again. Have you forgotten that last time I said we heard tiger roars in the mountains? Our family has made money by collecting herbs in the mountains, and people in the village naturally want to make money too.
Of silver.”
Song Chen paused, "Next time we go up the mountain, it won't be just the two of us."
Song He sighed in his heart. The two brothers and sisters were the ones who took the lead. If they couldn't come back safely today, then the villagers would definitely not make this plan. After all, no one wanted to make money and lose their lives.
"Should we take them with us?"
"They will definitely follow us before we go up the mountain, but after we go up the mountain, we can't tell." Every time they go up the mountain, they can find medicinal materials. The villagers must also feel that Jiuling Mountain is full of treasures, and they must be focused on it after going up the mountain.
to go treasure hunting.
But at that time, it was impossible for the brothers and sisters to concentrate on finding herbs.
Song Chen felt that she needed to think of a way. Although she had said before that she could not guarantee her safety after going up the mountain, but after all, she was from the same village. If everyone followed her up the mountain and found nothing, then
It's a bit unreasonable.
In the whole village, the only ones who knew better medicinal materials were her and Mr. Li.
The next day, Song Chen had no intention of going up the mountain. According to the previous agreement, she was going to the Huichun Hall in the town to find Shopkeeper Cui.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as the door of their house opened, seven or eight men were already standing outside, all of them fully armed and ready to go up the mountain.
"Uncles and uncles, what are you doing?" Song Chen was a little dumbfounded.
"Sister Chen, we all came here to go up the mountain with you. You haven't eaten yet. Let's eat while walking. I brought dry food." One of the tall and thin men took out a dark pancake from his body and smiled.
Very honest.
Song Chen couldn't say anything about his rejection.
"Um, what, you guys wait a moment, I'll clean up and come out." Song Chen had no choice but to turn around and go into the house.
The plan changed and she had to go into the mountains today. She hoped that the guy wouldn't hold a grudge against her. She was forced to do so.
Back in the house, Song Chen told his family about the situation outside. Song Dashan slipped out and took a look. In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be more people.
He couldn't help but feel worried. With so many people going up the mountain together, it was really difficult to take care of them. If something happened, who could take the responsibility?
After thinking about it, he decided to find Li Zheng first.
Song Chen felt that his worry was necessary, so he didn't rush out.
It was really too early now. As soon as Li Zheng crawled out of bed, he was pulled over by Song Dashan. Seeing the dark crowd of people standing outside Song Dashan's house, he suddenly woke up completely with a startle.
"Girl Chen, what should we do? Take everyone up the mountain?"
He still clearly remembers what happened more than ten years ago. The scene was like hell, and he didn't want to experience it again in his life.
She was not worried about Song Chen, but she couldn't show it. It was really difficult to do things with many people. If there were any disputes over medicinal materials on the mountain, it would be more than worth the gain.
Song Chen frowned and thought for a while, then thought of a way.
"Uncle Li Zheng, I don't want to take all of these people up the mountain. Can you ask each family to send a representative? After we go up the mountain, I will lead everyone to collect herbs. Our family will take 20% of the herbs found, and each other family will share equally."
"Pay attention to this." Lin Maofeng felt that her method was not too perfect, so he immediately told everyone present.
No one has any objections, it’s all divided anyway, and if there are more people there, they won’t get much advantage. After all, Song Chen is the only one who knows the medicinal materials. She is willing to help everyone, and everyone will naturally appreciate it.
Soon, half of the people going up the mountain were reduced. Song Chen nodded, and there were still about ten people.
"I will take ten of you up the mountain today, but I still have to say some things again. Everyone is aware of the dangers on the mountain. If anything happens, our family will not bear any responsibility."
"After going up the mountain, everyone must follow my rules. I am responsible for finding the medicinal materials and you are responsible for collecting them. No one is allowed to hide the medicinal materials found on the mountain. After coming down the mountain, I will handle them and then sell them in the town. We
No matter the money or the medicine, if you believe me, go up the mountain with me. If you don’t believe me, you can go home now."
Among the ten people, there were indeed people who had hidden their thoughts. When they heard Song Chen say this, their faces looked a little embarrassed, but they did not leave here and go home.
Just don’t hide it.
After following Song Chen up the mountain a few times, they will be able to understand the medicinal materials themselves. When the time comes, they can go up the mountain themselves, collect the medicines and sell them themselves, and all the money they get will be their own.
Song Chen didn't know about their thoughts, and even if he knew about them, Song Chen wouldn't care.
Jiuling Mountain is so big, they can go wherever they want, and she has less worries and worries.
After receiving everyone's assurance, Song Chen, brother and sister Song He, took ten people and set off up the mountain.
The group of people marched towards Jiuling Mountain in a mighty manner, looking quite impressive from a distance.
In the eyes of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, they were gambling on their lives. If they won the bet, they would get money, but if they lost the bet, they would lose arms and legs, or even lose their lives.
About an hour later, the group arrived at the outskirts of Jiuling Mountain.
Since she was taking everyone with her to collect herbs, Song Chen not only focused on the rare herbs, she also pointed out some good-quality common herbs to everyone and asked them to dig them out.
Just like this, everyone slowly entered the depths of Jiuling Mountain. The big trees that blocked the sky and the sound of the howling wind made them all turn pale with fright.
The tragic events that occurred more than ten years ago flashed through my mind.
Song Chen felt that this kind of effect was pretty good. Otherwise, they really thought that this was how they picked up the silver. If she hadn't had a treasure like Space, she would have fed it to the tiger last time.
This time, Song Chen took them on a brand new route, hoping that their luck would be as good as before and they could find some valuable things.
Along the way, Song Chen also told them some about the characteristics of herbal medicines. It would be faster for a dozen pairs of eyes to search for them together than for her to search alone, and the chance of finding them would be higher.
"Sister Chen, come and see if this is the pig's trotter you mentioned?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Song Chen stopped and turned back. The person who called her just now was the person who brought out the black pancakes when they were at her house.
Song Chen couldn't pronounce his name, "Let me take a look."
The young branches are angular, covered with brown pubescence, gradually becoming hairless. The leaves are alternate and odd-numbered pinnately compound leaves.
This is not a precious herb, but it has a certain value. It has an effect of aphrodisiac, so no matter what era it is, the demand is still relatively large.
On the way, she told everyone about several herbs that might appear here based on the environment here. Unexpectedly, this was the first one to be found.
"That's right, it's a pig's trotter. Only its roots can be used as medicine, so they need to be dug out."
The man didn't expect that he actually found a medicinal plant. He happily took the small hoe from the basket on his back and began to dig the soil carefully.
Soon, all the roots of the pig's trotters were dug out.
Others were inspired by this scene, and started looking for it with even greater vigor.
In the next hour, Song Chen was called six or seven times in total, four of which were for the right ones.
However, they were all medicinal materials similar to pig's trotters, and their combined value was not as much as a few gastrodia elata. Song Chen still wanted to find some more valuable medicinal materials, so that they could finish work and go down the mountain as soon as possible.
She was still more or less thinking about the agreement she had made with Cang Xiuxuan. These things were very important to her, so she felt very sorry for not going to the town because of her.
It's just that today's luck seems really bad. They have been walking for so long and still haven't encountered a medicinal herb that is at least as valuable as Dingfengcao. Song Chen is even thinking about whether she should take the Dingfeng of Space.
The grass came out and was secretly buried for everyone to dig.
Of course, she just thought about it. If you can find Dingfengcao every time, is Dingfengcao still valuable? Isn't it just like Chinese cabbage?
Just when Song Chen was a little frustrated, they had climbed up a small slope, and the surrounding scenery had changed slightly. There were cliffs at their feet and cliffs on both sides, which was like they were in a mountain col.
