Chapter 279 Discovery
After the two men cleaned up the place, they prepared to move forward to the end of the medicine valley.
Suddenly, Silver Fox said to Li Lanzhen.
"Aunt, wait for me here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out, and the next thing I saw was that he had jumped onto the cliff on the east side of the Medicine Valley.
When he found the place to step firmly, he saw the silver fox stretching out his hand as if trying to grab something.
Li Lanzhen looked closely and found that there was a clump of grass growing in a crack on the mountain wall.
No, it should be herbs!
Looking from afar, the sun shines on the bush of herbs, the leaves are lush and green, and small golden flowers are blooming among the green leaves.
The silver fox picked the herbs, jumped like a nimble goat, held the layer of herbs tightly in his hand, and ran quickly to her.
"Auntie, please put these herbs in the secret place."
Li Lanzhen stretched out her hand and the herbs disappeared.
Looking at Silver Fox's excitement, Li Lanzhen asked.
"Is this also the herb for detoxifying the prince?"
"Yes, Auntie, this is the only herb I'm missing. I came here to look for it but couldn't find it. I thought I had to look for it on other mountains, but I didn't expect it to grow on the cliff."
Li Lanzhen was also happy.
"We'll go to the end of the medicine valley and take a look. If there are still some, we'll transplant them to the secret medicine fields."
"Okay, auntie, let's go."
Li Lanzhen discovered this gourd-shaped medicine valley. When she got to the bottom of the valley, she didn't recognize many of the medicinal herbs.
I only know one kind, and that is wild ginseng!
"Silver Fox, have you noticed that there are so many wild ginsengs here?
I feel like they were planted in a regular pattern."
Silver Fox also frowned, "That's true. I also discovered that not only the wild ginseng has traces of deliberate planting, but also other herbs. Moreover, these are all precious medicinal materials."
Li Lanzhen stood among the herbs, looked around, and confirmed again.
"It's really strange, look, there are still ridges here.
It's just that the time was too long and no one was taking care of it, so the seeds of the medicinal herbs fell to the ground on their own and then grew again.
That's why it has grown into such a desolate appearance.
Did anyone still live here?"
"Aunt, let's be careful and go to the back of the medicine valley to take a look."
Li Lanzhen held the axe in both hands, carried a backpack, and walked slowly in the medicinal field.
The further you go, the more obvious the traces of artificially cultivated medicinal herbs become.
When they arrived at the end of the medicine valley, they were even more certain that there had been people living here. The medicinal herbs in the valley were planted artificially, which means that there were people living in this medicine valley!
Because a whole row of stone houses appeared before their eyes!
"Aunt, follow me. Let's not separate and go in and check."
"Okay, Silver Fox, you should be more careful too."
The two men started from the stone house on the west side and checked each room one by one.
The first stone house should be a kitchen. The stone stove is still there, but there is no pot on it.
Throughout the house, the cabinet platforms built with stone and wood blocks are still there.
There is a main room in the front, which is very large. It should be a place for eating or receiving guests.
The other eight stone houses should be bedrooms.
There were no wooden beds. All of them were made of stones in the shape of a C-bed, filled with mud in the middle and covered with straw mats.
At this time, the straw mat was covered with dust and was badly damaged.
They checked more than a dozen houses and found no signs of recent life.
After coming out, they still stood in the yard.
When Silver Fox saw this, he didn’t know what was going on in his mind.
Li Lanzhen called him twice, but he didn't respond.
As a last resort, Li Lianzhen pulled his arm.
"Silver Fox, what are you thinking about? I don't think anyone lives here.
At least no one has lived in these years. "
After Li Lianzhen pulled his arm, Silver Fox seemed to come back to his senses.
"Yes, Auntie's guess is correct. No one has lived here for at least three to five years."
"Silver Fox, what were you thinking about just now?"
After taking a look at Li Lianzhen, Silver Fox turned his gaze back to the row of stone houses, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Aunt, I'm thinking that this might be a medicine valley specially built by a medical family.
If my sister were still alive, she would definitely know, but unfortunately..."
When he said this, his eyes turned red.
Li Lanzhen knew that he was thinking of his sister again.
Li Lanzhen patted his arm and comforted him.
"Okay, Silver Fox, you have avenged your sister and the others. Let go of your hatred, raise Su Chen well, and live a good life."
The silver fox raised his head, blinked, and forced back the tears in his eyes.
"Yes! Auntie, you are right, I will raise Su Chen well.
He is my sister’s only relative, and also my only relative.”
Knowing that no one lived here and there should be no danger, the two of them relaxed and walked around to take a look.
Silver Fox went to the medicine field again to look for the herbs he needed.
Li Lanzhen entered the main room in the middle and looked around. She found that the house looked plain from the outside, but from the inside, the people who built these stone houses must have been ingenious and smart, and had some knowledge of architecture.
All the stones and the gaps between them were filled with moss.
Li Lanzhen guessed that at the beginning, the middle should have been filled with thatch or sawdust.
Then moss was stuffed in, and when the moss grew, it filled the gaps between the stones.
This keeps you warm and is also beautiful.
Moreover, this medicine valley should not be very cold in winter.
In the middle of the room, there was a large stone slab covered with dust and leaves.
Six stones are used to support the slab underneath, making it a stone table.
There are stones and tree stumps all around.
Li Lanzhen took out half a bucket of water from the space, took out a piece of cloth, and wiped the stone table and stools clean.
After wiping once, the table, stone bench and wooden stool were still not very clean, and the water in the wooden barrel was already very dirty.
Li Lanzhen poured the water outside, then took out half a bucket of water and wiped them clean.
At this time, she discovered that there was a pattern, or a totem, on the upper left corner of the stone table.
She rubbed it with her hand and found it quite nice. Then she found similar marks on the stone bench.
At this time, you can be a little curious.
If there is one on the stone table, perhaps someone carved it casually for some reason.
But there is also such a mark on the stone bench, which means that this mark may represent some meaning.
Li Lanzhen became interested and decided to go and look for it.
She first entered the east bedroom and wiped every stone or wall with a wet cloth.
Later, there was a square, larger pattern like this in the middle of the back wall of the room.
Li Lanzhen can now be sure that this pattern must represent some meaning.
She wiped the pattern clean bit by bit.
Only then did I realize that this was the traditional Chinese character for "华" (Chinese)!
She always felt that she had seen this word somewhere. Her hand pressed on the strokes of the word, slowly, one stroke at a time.
When her hand put down the last stroke, there was a loud clicking sound.
The back wall was actually opened in the middle, revealing a dark hole.
Entrance of the cave!
