The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 21

[Chapter 21: Entering the Deep Mountains]

Hidden Guard followed the little aunt from a distance, watching in horror as a black bear twice the height of the little girl turned around not far away from her; a giant snake, thicker than his arm, slid past her feet; A group of hungry wolves moved away with their tails between their tails…

The more they looked at this hidden guard, the more they felt that something was wrong. When the little aunt approached, these beasts fled in panic as if they had encountered a natural enemy. If he changed his master, then he could understand that the fierceness of the master, even the beasts, would not be able to avoid it. But what is there in this thin and weak little girl that ferocious beasts are afraid of?

“Ginseng! Authentic wild ginseng!!” The little man in the distance let out a cheer, squatting in the grass and digging.

“It’s in good shape, it would take decades to say the least, I should be able to exchange some money!” Only the silver and the handsome man could make Gu Ye so moved. She grinned like she had found gold.

The more you go inside, the more precious herbs: rhubarb, Tianma, Schisandra, Acanthopanax senticosus, gentian grass… Gu Ye’s small basket quickly filled up. These are all silver coins! Gu Ye smiled and narrowed his eyes, walking briskly, humming an untuned song, and happily picking herbs.

“Huh? The leaf of the plant in front is very familiar, it seems to be a wild yam.” Gu Ye’s mind came up with “Yam Pork Ribs Soup”, “Fried Pork with Yam and Fungus”, “Yam and Crucian Carp Soup”… These delicacies are mouth-watering. It’s coming out soon.

She couldn’t wait to run over, waving her little chopsticks, and digging loudly. Most of these wild yams grow in the crevices of soft stones and are irregular in shape, making it difficult to dig up. However, this is not difficult for Gu Ye, a bottle of potion can do it with strength. This piece of yam is quite a lot, and it took her more than half an hour to dig it all out. At this time, her small backpack was already full.

Looking at the sky, Gu Ye was still unfinished, but had to go back the same way. Otherwise, her brother-in-law, the housekeeper, would nag her again like a Tang monk reciting scriptures. Alas, family affection is sometimes a sweet burden.

On the way back, she encountered a panic-stricken silly roe deer. Before the efficacy of the “giant potion” on her body had passed, she casually threw the thorn in her hand and knocked the unfortunate roe deer unconscious. Carrying a basket full of medicinal herbs and yam on her shoulders, and carrying more than 100 catties of prey in her hand, she still walks with ease.

Seeing this, Yinwei, who was following her, couldn’t help rolling his eyes. This little aunt is born with divine power, and even if she encounters an eye-opening beast, it will not be his turn to play. well! Master, you sent me to stay here, there is no use at all. Yin Yin, one of the four hidden guards of the dignified Hidden Soul Hall, walks around behind a little girl’s butt every day. Isn’t he too talented?

“Sister!! Where have you gone, I’ve been looking for you for a long time!!” As soon as he walked to the new house, he heard Gu Ming’s voice, Gu Ye couldn’t help but stop, ready to be talked about heart building.

“You entered the mountain again? How many times have I told you, don’t run around alone, how dangerous!” Gu Ming thought she was only moving on the mountain behind, but she couldn’t help but nag.

But when he saw the roe deer lying at his sister’s feet, slowly harvesting in the basket, his face changed immediately, he rushed over like crazy, and checked Gu Ye up and down, for fear that she would be injured.

“Did you go to the deep mountains? How dare you? There are so many wild beasts in the mountains that even Zhang Hunter can’t go too far. If you have an accident, let your brother live, right?” Gu Ming anxiously His eyes were so red that he raised his hand to teach his sister a lesson, but when he saw that pitiful little face, he couldn’t bear it, so he clenched his fist and waved it fiercely.

“Brother, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to. I found wild yam, and I dug and went far. No, no! Actually, it wasn’t that far, just a little farther than usual. Really! There! There are no wild animals, there are still a lot of medicinal herbs, I have collected a lot…” Gu Ming was angry with her for the first time in the world, Gu Ye was full of apology and panic, and hurriedly explained.

“When you meet a beast, it will be too late for anything!!” Tears in Gu Ming’s eyes kept rolling, and there was worry, panic and happiness in his heart. But it’s not always so lucky. If there is an emergency with his sister, he can’t forgive himself. No, she must put an end to the idea of entering the mountain!

“Gu Ming is right! Ye’er, it is very dangerous in the mountains. In the future, without the company of grandpa, you cannot enter the mountains without authorization, you know?” Gu Xiao followed Gu Ming. He noticed it as early as when the child was looking for his sister from head to head.

He never imagined that this timid and weak-looking little girl would dare to go into the mountains. Who borrowed her courage? Influenced by the old general’s family, he has a very high tolerance for girls, so when he talks to the little girl, he speaks softly, for fear of scaring her. If I want to try it with a boy, he has already slapped his butt and beat him to give him a long memory!

“Oh! I see.” Gu Ye nodded obediently.

Her two rows of long eyelashes flickered, and her dark eyes were full of guilt and self-blame. Gu Xiao couldn’t bear to say anything, just patted her little head lightly: “Your brother has been looking for you for a long time, go and apologize to your brother and promise not to act without authorization in the future.”

“Brother, I’m sorry…” Gu Ye moved to the little boy whose back was to her, and gently tugged at the corner of his shirt, “Don’t be mad at Ye’er!”

She roared loudly in her heart: “Nima, the old lady is so old. I also have to ask for forgiveness from a little kid who acts like a spoiled child, smash!

Gu Ming rubbed his eyes and saw her sister’s worried expression, why would she be willing to be angry with her? Holding his sister’s hand, he softened his voice and said, “Sister, brother shouldn’t yell at you just now. Brother is too worried about you. In the future, if you want to eat meat, call on brother, and brother will accompany you into the mountains to hunt. ”

What’s the use of calling you? When you meet a beast, use yourself to fill the beast’s mouth?” Gu Xiao rubbed his grandson’s head and said, “In the future, practice kung fu with grandpa and learn to hunt! You are the future of the family.” The mainstay of my sister, I have to take care of my sister, how can I do it if I don’t learn some skills?”

“Grandpa,” Gu Ming heard this, his eyes were shining, and his face showed a strange brilliance, “You want to teach me kung fu? Is it that kind of person? How many good things can people lose?”

“Hahaha… More than a few? Back then, on the battlefield, Lao Tzu and the old general had two knives, killing hundreds of enemies to the point of throwing away their armor and armor…” Gu Xiao talked about his previous great achievements. Hi! Not only did it attract Gu Ming’s friends, but even the villagers who helped build the house also listened with great interest.

Gu Ming completely regarded his grandfather as an idol, determined to work hard to practice martial arts, and aspired to become a great hero who roamed the battlefield like his grandfather!

“Ye’er, what’s the matter with this roe deer?” Gu Xiao didn’t think that the petite and weak girl in front of him could hunt a wild animal bigger than her, so he asked.

Gu Ye hurriedly made up a nonsense: “I don’t know what’s going on. This guy suddenly came out, hit the tree trunk and knocked himself unconscious. I didn’t startle in vain, I picked up a big bargain.” In Gu Xiao’s exploratory eyes, Gu Ye smiled extremely innocently.

Gu Ming didn’t suspect him, so he picked up the roe deer and said with a smile, “It’s a hundred pounds! My sister is so lucky, every time I go up the mountain, I get something!

” It really has nothing to do with her. She was also curious about which living Lei Feng did the good thing! As for the origin of this roe deer, she could only tacitly admit it.

“Yeah! My greatest luck is to have a good brother!” Gu Ye patted his brother’s ass numbly, hoping to get rid of this mess.

Sure enough, when Gu Ming heard it, he was so happy that he couldn’t find Bei. Seeing this, Gu Xiao felt sour in his heart, and deliberately cleared his throat to remind his granddaughter of his existence.

Gu Ye didn’t disappoint him, and said hurriedly: “Meeting grandpa is also Ye’er’s good luck! It must be God who pity me for the hardships I have suffered in the past few years, so I am lucky, one happy event after another.”

Gu Xiao had already inquired about the little girl’s affairs clearly, and when he heard the words, he said with pity: “My dear granddaughter, you have suffered for these years! Don’t worry, when Grandpa is here in the future, no one will want to bully you. You are willing to be in the village. It’s no problem to walk sideways!”

“Grandpa, that’s a crab walking sideways!” Gu Ye pursed his lips and smiled. Gu Xiao and Gu Ming’s grandfather and grandson also burst into laughter.

“Gu Ming, Gu Ming—” Li Hao’s voice came from a distance, “You caught two pheasants in the trap you dug. My sister and I were passing by cutting wood, and we brought you back.”

“Okay . The people who will be invited to help at Liangyan tomorrow will have another hard dish!!” Gu Xiao took the two fat pheasants, his eyes narrowed with joy. His grandson and granddaughter are really lucky, they are quite good at digging traps, and a pheasant and a hare are sure to be caught. In the past 20 days since he came back, he has eaten a dozen or so of game!

Gu Xiao, on a whim, said to his grandchildren, “Go! Grandpa will take you to a place where wild boars come and go from time to time. Let’s dig a big trap and see if we can catch a wild boar alive!”

The ninth uncle who came to help heard the words and was busy. He stopped and said, “Uncle 5, the wild boar is so violent! It can knock down an adult at once. It’s too dangerous for you to bring two children, so don’t go there. Roe deer and pheasants are already abundant. Why risk it? That risk?”

“Or…you two wait at home?” Gu Xiao also hesitated, he had no problem dealing with a big wild boar alone, but if he encountered a litter, he really couldn’t take care of the two children.
