Chapter 222 Finding Herbs
Chen Qin advised her, "Fei'er, you shouldn't go. It wouldn't be good if something happened to you because of me."
"Sister Qin, don't underestimate me. With my poison skills, what poisonous herb do I have to fear? I'll be extra careful."
Besides, your leg can't be delayed any longer. I believe you will be able to stand up again, so just wait for my return." Chen Qin's leg is only missing one ingredient in the medicine. If she can't stand up again because of the lack of medicine, it will be a great pity, and her brother will definitely be very sad.
These past few days, from her brother's behavior towards her sister-in-law, she had guessed that her brother had fallen for her. That's why her brother was so dedicated to treating her sister-in-law's leg, so she had to be even more dedicated.
Last year, I heard her say something like, "Why don't you tell a few of them to come with you? It would be helpful."
"No, if I tell them, they won't let me go. They're very busy right now and don't have time to go with me. Don't worry, I'll bring plenty of antidotes and I definitely won't let myself get hurt there."
Chen Qin knew she couldn't persuade her, so she told her, "Okay, then you must be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back. This is an antidote pill that I've been developing for many years. Keep it with you."
He Fei took some antidote and left for the medicine mountain.
Although Yaoshan has a wide variety of medicinal herbs, due to the urgent market demand, herbalists often come to Yaoshan in groups to collect herbs. In addition, the growth cycle of medicinal herbs is generally quite long, so the surrounding area has long been depleted.
"The herbs Tongxuecao and Shuangguhua are yin in nature and grow best in shady places with abundant water and grass." He Fei vaguely remembered that the elder had mentioned the growth habits of herbs intentionally or unintentionally. So, she looked at the position of the sun and walked towards the back of the mountain.
The road was relatively easy to walk at first, with the only difficult parts being a stubborn rock and a steep slope. He Fei, who had grown up in the mountains, was able to handle it easily without any effort.
However, as she walked along, He Fei carefully searched the vegetation growing on the ground. There were exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, but not a single useful medicinal herb, especially the blood-clearing herb and the bone-soothing flower, which were nowhere to be found.
Suddenly she saw something that surprised her greatly. It was a wonderful thing; she had heard her elder teacher talk about it.
After finishing the three-leaf sour flower in her hand, she threw away the stems and leaves and carefully dug the creeping plum tree out of the soil. Unbeknownst to her, a black and white venomous snake was wriggling towards her from the grass.
As the venomous snake drew closer to her, it raised its head with its body, flicked its tongue, and made a hissing sound. In that instant, the snake suddenly lunged out, its open bite aimed at He Fei's calf as she squatted down.
He Fei's expression changed, and a murderous aura was released in that instant. As she quickly turned around, she grabbed the snake's head with one hand and the snake's vital spot with the other. Her fingers twisted inward forcefully, and with a "plop," the hand that was gripping the snake's vital spot forcefully squeezed into the snake's body.
"Hiss!" The venomous snake hissed, its body twitched a few times, and then went limp.
"Oh? It's a silver ringed snake?" As if her previous fierceness was just a momentary illusion, she was now back to her lazy demeanor, staring at the venomous snake in her hand and laughing: "If there are no wild rabbits or wild boars, then I'll just make do with this snake to fill my stomach." However, as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her face froze.
Because she discovered a huge problem... there was no fire.
Starting a fire by friction in this damp forest is no easy task, but unfortunately she doesn't have a tinderbox, so even if she had snake meat, she couldn't roast it and eat it!
"Never mind, I'll hold on a little longer! At least I need to find a drier place to try and start a fire," she muttered to herself. She wanted to throw away the silver-ringed snake in her hand but felt it was a waste, so she quickly began to dispose of it. At least this would fill her stomach later. If she didn't eat it, she'd give it to the little fox.
He cut off the snake's head, peeled off its skin, removed its gall bladder, and then hung the snake, whose true form was no longer visible, on a tree branch. He wiped his hands, which were covered in blood, directly on the grass, picked some other grass with a strong odor, rubbed it on his hands to remove the fishy smell, and then continued on his way.
On the hillside, a fat, big-eared wild rabbit was lying in the grass, munching on the grass with its ears perked up. It was a rudimentary herbivorous wild rabbit, and its meat was quite delicious.
Suddenly, its ears twitched, as if it had sensed danger.
With a quick bend and a spring in its forelegs, the violent rabbit slammed its powerful hind legs together, its body leaping more than two feet away like a small cannonball before turning and running away.
A nimble figure darted out from the side, and He Fei pressed down on the violent rabbit's hind legs with both hands. The rabbit was instantly pinned to the ground, thrashed a few times, and could no longer move.
A bolt of blue lightning struck the rabbit's crown, causing the violent rabbit to slump to the ground, lifeless.
"We'll have meat tonight!" He Fei looked completely different from when she first came to the mountains. Her hair was messy and her clothes were dirty, but her face was still as fair as ever.
After catching the rabbit, she smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled. She had just entered the medicinal mountain and thought that hunting a wild rabbit would be easy, but she soon discovered that hunting animals was not such a simple matter.
The Violent Rabbit is a low-level herbivorous wild animal that is not very dangerous, but its hind legs are very powerful. When it charges up and kicks, it can sometimes even shatter the sternum of a strong man.
After skinning the violent rabbit, He Fei divided the rabbit meat into two parts. One part was kept for dinner, and the remaining part, after thinking for a moment, was carefully cut into strips. Then, with a thought, she entered her own space.
Everything in the space was as before, except that there were only ordinary herbs that he had found.
These herbs were all found by He Fei when she went into the mountains.
My sister-in-law's illness can only be cured by some precious and rare herbs, but if she can take some common herbs, it will also have a slight effect on improving her condition.
After entering the space, He Fei took out the chopped rabbit meat.
They waited in the space for a full half hour, but the little fox still hadn't appeared.
"Aren't you coming out yet?" He Fei was a little disappointed. She had deliberately pulled out all the Gathering Yuan Grass these past few days, so the little fox should be very hungry since it had nothing to eat.
Suddenly, there was movement in the white mist.
The little fox cautiously crawled out. Upon seeing He Fei, she was delighted. To prevent it from ruining her medicinal herbs, she had given the little fox a stern warning, so the fox was still a little afraid of her, but it was also hungry. "I brought some rabbit meat, eat up," He Fei said, taking a step forward.
The little fox dog took a step, but its eyes were fixed on the rabbit meat in He Fei's hand.
Fresh rabbit meat, with an enticing aroma.
