Chapter 186 Entering Wumeng Mountain
"The things have been resolved!"
Before the sound of the person arrived, Huang Xiuhua had just walked out of the door of the house when he saw Li Xiaoran walking in with a smile on his face.
"How to solve it?" Huang Xiuhua's heart tightened. She naturally knew what Li Xiaoran said, but she was a little unbelievable because the expression on Li Xiaoran's face was too relaxed at this moment.
And it has only been only two hours since he left the house, so how can he say that the matter has been solved?
"Of course I negotiated with their Old Bai!" Li Xiaoran smiled and said, gently patting the sword hanging around his waist.
Seeing this, Huang Xiuhua understood everything.
She took a deep breath and asked again: "Really?"
Li Xiaoran nodded heavily and confirmed: "Really!"
When Huang Xiuhua heard Li Xiaoran say this, she breathed a sigh of relief. In the next few days, no one in their family came to harass her again.
This finally made Huang Xiuhua feel much more relieved.
A few days later, Li Xiaoran asked, "Are you all done?"
Huang Xiuhua was packing all kinds of things in the old warehouse and nodded, "Well, in addition to some ointments that can drive away the bites of poisonous insects, dry food, tools, some fragments, trauma patches, and water slapping are all ready! As for those ointments, you can buy them when you pass by the pharmacy later!"
Mr. Huang had already woken up. When he heard Huang Xiuhua explain the various causes and consequences, he didn't say much. He just told the two to be safe. If he met jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, he would run away immediately. When he encountered dangerous places, he would not take risks because of greed.
Then, Huang Xiuhua gave his neighbors some money and asked them to take care of Huang Changping for a while.
"Let's go!"
Li Xiaoran said. Even after carrying a bamboo basket containing a small hoe, shovel, hemp rope and other heavy objects for herb collection, Huang Xiuhua was responsible for leading the way and keeping various medicinal materials for special circumstances.
The scenery of Wumeng Mountain is not only not beautiful, but on the contrary, every time it gets dark, a strange black fog will inexplicably spread in the entire mountain range. Over the years, many herb collectors in Zhuti Town have been lost in the strange black fog because they were unable to go down the mountain in time before it gets dark. When the people in the town find them again, their bodies have been eaten by various jackals, tigers and leopards so that they can't look at them directly...
"This legend is true, but no one can tell why this is the case! But this does not mean that you will die if you stay in Wumeng Mountain overnight!"
Huang Xiuhua explained: "If the experienced herbal collectors are planning to stay on Wumeng Mountain for a long time, they will go to some hunters in the town to buy some tiger hair before they set off, or soil stained with tiger urine and feces. When it is dark, they will sprinkle some two or three hundred meters around them. In this way, the dangers hidden in the dark can be reduced by at least half!"
When Li Xiaoran heard this, he unconsciously shook the slightly heavy bamboo basket on his back. Inside the bamboo basket, a large bag of soil wrapped in oil paper was pressed at the bottom of various tools.
The two of them walked into the mountain, but the speed was not fast, and they walked carefully along the way.
"What is that?"
Li Xiaoran pointed to a big tree in front of him, and there were many bright and bright mushrooms growing under the tree, which looked very beautiful.
Huang Xiuhua's eyes looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately warned seriously: "It is a poisonous bacteria. The brighter the color, the stronger the toxicity! Whether it is an animal or a human, once you eat these bacteria, you will numb your mind and have hallucinations on yourself, and at worst you will be poisoned and died of poisoning! If you see these things in the wild, don't touch them!"
"Will you get poisoned if you touch it?" Li Xiaoran was stunned. If this is the case, then the toxicity of this mushroom is too strong, right?
Huang Xiuhua explained: "It is not normally possible, but it is not ruled out that you will encounter some special toxins, so it is better to be careful!"
Li Xiaoran nodded. Huang Xiuhua is much more professional than him in this regard. Since the other party said that, he just needs to obey.
“What should we do next?”
Huang Xiuhua thought for a while and said, "When Polygonum multiflorum, he usually likes to grow in the cracks of rocks on cliffs or hidden in the hillsides. We have just entered the mountain now. If we want to find this kind of treasure medicine, we have to go to a higher place..."
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, "I'll listen to you!"
The mountain roads of Wumeng Mountain are really difficult to walk, and the bumpy roads are just small problems. What I fear most is that I step on some land that looks very stable but is actually very soft. If I accidentally turn it back, it will make people stagger and fall down, and feel embarrassed.
Li Xiaoran pulled out the accessories at his waist, chose a big tree with prosperous branches, cut down two straight branches from the tree, and then eliminated all the leaves on it until it became a smooth wooden stick.
"Hold it!"
Li Xiaoran said, then threw one of the wooden sticks to Huang Xiuhua.
"It's much easier to walk on the ground with this wooden stick!"
Huang Xiuhua took the wooden stick and smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know this."
Li Xiaoran gave her a blank look and said, "Please, at least I am also an "old fried dough stick" who has been living in the world for a year and a half! It's not that I haven't walked the mountain road and slept on the grass, so I don't even know this common sense, right?"
With the support of the wooden stick, the two of them felt a little relaxed when they were on the road, but their speed still did not speed up. After all, if they rush around in the mountains and forests with various unknown dangers, that is the most dangerous behavior!
"Look at the front... there are footprints, and there are quite a few!"
When Huang Xiuhua saw the traces on the ground, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is probably the footprints left by other herb collectors or hunters. And looking at the number and freshness of the footprints on the soil, I guess there should be many people coming here nearby."
She explained: "These footprints on the ground are not panic, but instead go in a certain direction in a regular manner, so it is safe nearby!"
Although humans are afraid of beasts in the mountains, beasts are also afraid of groups of humans. As long as there are enough people interacting nearby, there will be no danger nearby.
