Chapter 637: The face changed drastically

After the three of them discussed, Xiao Ai went back.

She had to quickly prepare the antidote to cure her fatigue, but she could not cook it openly, so she could only wait until midnight to slap in her room.

In fact, after Xiao Ai drank the tea from a middle-aged man, she felt that if she could get the medicine, soak it in water, and drink it for Tang Hao and Jia Wei, it might have the effect of awakening the spirit at any time and could instantly relieve fatigue.

But there is no such medicinal herb in the yard where she is now.

"Does there be medicinal fields on this island that specializes in growing medicinal materials?" Xiao Ai asked the old man here.

"Yes, do you need any medicinal materials? I can pick them back for you." The old man told Xiao Ai.

"Can you take me to pick me?" Xiao Ai asked him.

"Yes!" After saying that, the old man clapped his hands and prepared to take Xiao Ai to the medicine field.

As soon as Xiao Ai went out, the bodyguard would follow him with a gun.

Unexpectedly, the medicine field was not within the scope of this power grid, and they had to go out through the gate and leave the area of ​​this power grid.

"The road is a bit far!" After leaving the door, the old man turned his head and said to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai nodded: "It's okay."

Just when the sun was in the sky, the island was particularly hot. After walking for a while, Xiao Ai was sweating profusely after being sweated.

"The medicinal fields are divided into four parts, the island is divided into four directions, southeast, west and northeast, each with large medicinal fields. According to the properties of medicinal materials, as well as light and temperature, the medicinal materials planted in each direction are different. I will take you to see the medicinal fields in the east first!" The old man said, introducing to Xiao Ai.

To be honest, since I came here, Xiao Ai had no hatred for Ou Lidong.

In addition, when I was working on medicine in the laboratory these days, the old man in front of me took good care of him, and Xiao Ai became very calm when communicating with him.

According to the middle-aged man, the medicinal herb I drank before was growing in extremely hot places, and it should be on the east side of this island.

After walking for more than half an hour, it was not yet there. It was hot and thirsty. Xiao Ai really felt a little overwhelmed.

She asked the old man leading the way: "Uncle, how long will it take?"

"It will take an hour to get there," said the old man.

"It was so far away, if I had known that we should have brought a kettle out, I would have died of thirst." Xiao Ai complained.

"There is a water source in front, so we can go there to replenish the water." The old man said.

"good!"

Xiao Ai followed him to a fresh stream, which penetrated through the hole and meandered downwards, and the sound of water was gurgling.

"Use this leaf, roll it up and you can scoop water to drink." The old man said, picking two large leaves from the tree next to him, and handing them to Xiao Ai.

The bodyguard who followed him picked a piece of it himself, walked to the stream and squatted down to scoop water and drink it.

Xiao Ai, who imitated them, rolled the leaves, like a funnel, scooped up the stream water and drank it into his mouth.

"This water is so cool!" As soon as the water enters the stomach, I feel that the heat just now is relieved.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but drink several more sips.

"The water used on the island is not all transported back from here, right?" Xiao Ai turned to look at the old man and asked.

"No, our base has equipment that specializes in seawater treatment. The water we use in daily life is seawater that has been processed into fresh water. The drinking water is extracted and transported back from this stream." The old man said.

"Why don't you just use the water in this stream?" Xiao Ai asked.

"I am afraid that the stream will dry up if it uses too much water. If the water is transported from outside, it will consume a lot of manpower and financial resources. Moreover, it is easy to be exposed when entering and leaving the island.

"Oh!" Xiao Ai understood, because there were many people in this base, not only drinking water, but also daily water. If you all rely on this stream, you will be afraid that it will not be enough.

After drinking the water, they continued to rush forward.

It took me more than half an hour to arrive at my destination.

In front, there is a vast vast area of ​​medicinal fields that are beyond the limit, and various medicinal materials are growing lushly.

Soon he found the medicinal materials that the middle-aged man mentioned. Xiao Ai quickly bent over and picked some small backpacks he carried with him.

"This is an extremely rare medicinal material, which has long been extinct on the market." The old man said when he saw that Xiao Ai was here to pick this medicine.

"Yes, I have never heard of this medicinal material before I came here. But where are the seeds of this medicinal material?" Xiao Ai asked.

"It will bloom at the flowering period. After it blooms, it will bear small seeds like wolfberry seeds. When the small seeds mature, they will become seeds." The old man told Xiao Ai without any concealment.

Xiao Ai looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him, but they had not bloomed yet.

"So when is their flowering period?" Xiao Ai asked.

"The flowering period is the hottest time of the year, about July and August!" the old man introduced.

"Then you should have collected a lot of their seeds, right?"

"Yes, but all the seeds of medicinal materials are not included in our collection, and there are special people to take care of them."

Xiao Ai really wants to get some of this seeds, after all, this medicinal material is indeed very effective.

"This medicinal material is actually only suitable for growing on this kind of island and cannot grow anywhere else." At this time, the old man said as if he had seen through Xiao Ai's thoughts.

Xiao Ai nodded, picked some other medicinal herbs, and prepared to go back with the old man.

The medicinal field is on the outermost edge of the forest. Maybe it was also a forest here before, but in order to plant medicinal materials, I was afraid that these trees would block the sun, so I was cut down by the people here.

So the depth of the medicine field is what Tang Hao mentioned as the primeval forest, which is very large inside and occupies three-quarters of the entire island.

When Xiao Ai followed the old man back the same way, the bodyguard kindly took over the basket that Xiao Ai was carrying.

"I'll carry it!"

Xiao Ai didn't say anything. He was willing to recite it, so let him carry it!

Anyway, this road is not that easy to walk, and it will be even more difficult to walk with a basket of medicinal materials on your back.

A little tired, Xiao Ai suggested finding a place to rest for a while.

The old man nodded and agreed, pointing to the gathering place of the big stone in front of him: "Let's go there and sit down and rest."

After sitting on the big rock for a while, Xiao Ai suddenly felt his legs fluttering. He looked down and was startled, and he jumped up screaming.

"What's wrong?" Both the old man and the bodyguard looked over in a hurry.

But he found that there was a creature like an earthworm crawling on Xiao Ai's calf. Xiao Ai's jumping movement was so big that he did not shake the little creature down.

The bodyguard reacted the fastest and had quickly scraped the little creature off Xiao Ai's leg with a gun handle.

Then he stepped on it and trampled the little creature to death.

"How is it, is it okay?" the old man came over and asked with concern.

Xiao Ai looked down and said, "It's okay, it's just a little red. Maybe he's bitten by it."

Seeing that Xiao Ai's feet turned red, the old man frowned slightly, squatted down and looked at the little creature who was trampled to death by the bodyguard.

Then he took out his cell phone and took a few photos of the little creature.

"You also carry your phone with you, but there is no signal on it!" Xiao Ai asked curiously.

"I use my phone to watch the time. Sometimes it's okay, and playing games to relieve my annoyance." The old man said.

"Let's go back quickly!" After the old man said that, he took Xiao Ai and the others to continue on the way.

The coolness on Xiao Ai's calves did not disappear because the little creature was gone.

When I walked back to the secret base, it was already lunchtime.

The old man said to the bodyguard behind him: "You go and ask the kitchen people to bring the food here, I'll go out."

"Okay!" The bodyguard turned around and went to the kitchen.

Xiao Ai collected the medicine and thought about how to preserve the fresh medicinal materials and wait until three days before using it.

When she returned to her room, she went to the shower room to take a shower first.

When she got dressed, Xiao Ai wiped her hair while thinking that she would plant the picked medicinal materials with water, which might keep them fresh for a few days.

She looked down at the place where the little creature had just bitten, and it was still a red mark, the size of the little creature just now.

"What did this little creature bit me with? Why is the red mark so long?" Xiao Ai felt curious. It was not rare to see this island with creatures she had never seen or knew about.

After all, this is an island, and it is normal to grow creatures that people don’t know.

The red mark does not hurt or itch, but she still carefully applied it with some anti-inflammatory water.

As soon as she finished applying the medicine, the kitchen staff brought the food over and asked her to go out for dinner.

Xiao Ai went to the dining room to have a meal and found that the old man had not come back yet.

Only she and the bodyguard ate, but the others had already eaten it.

"Where has uncle been?" Xiao Ai asked him.

"I don't know." The bodyguard replied.

The old man went to the second-story wooden building, and there were more than a dozen bodyguards guarding the stairs.

But because the old man was his own, the bodyguards immediately let him go when they saw him coming.
