Fortunately, he didn't feel sorry for Lan'er's feelings for him. In the face of the overwhelming wealth and beauty status, he didn't waver, and even said, "In my heart, she is a priceless treasure. If one day there is only one meal left in the family I would rather starve myself to death, and I would leave her the last morsel of food.”
It can be seen that he is a bloody man who values love and righteousness, if not because he is his rival in love, Chunyu Yu would almost appreciate him!
Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhang Eryong set off from Taohua Village with several young and middle-aged men from the village, and gathered at Shen Ruolan's house in the backer village.
Those in other villages will go by themselves and gather together when the time comes.
Shen Ruolan specially steamed a large pot of steamed buns early in the morning, and cooked a large piece of bacon from the vat, and asked Shouya to cook all the eggs and goose eggs in the house, and kept them for everyone to satisfy their hunger after they went to the mountains.
People from all walks of life gathered at Shen Ruolan's home one after another. This time, Zhang Eryong found eighteen people in total. They were all hunters and mountain hunters from nearby villages, and a few woodcutters. They were all strong and experienced in mountain climbing. Young people, of course, are also from poor families and want to earn some money.
After all the people gathered, Shen Ruolan's big steamed buns were steamed and the meat was boiled, so everyone was asked to sit down and have a full meal. During the meal, Shen Ruolan took out the ghost grass and ginseng flowers she had painted (both are oil paintings, with realistic images) ) for everyone to see, and told everyone the growth habits of these two Chinese herbal medicines, so that everyone can find them easily.
When Zhang Eryong saw the two small portraits, he immediately thought of the large portrait of people he saw yesterday. The painting methods of the three portraits are all the same, with rich colors, which are quite different from the common painting techniques.
Zhang Eryong was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Lan'er, did you draw this painting?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Zhang Eryong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "It's okay, I just think your paintings are pretty!"
Shen Ruolan laughed and said: "That's right, this is my exclusive painting method called oil painting. I dare say that in Chu country, no one else knows this kind of painting except me, hehehe..."
In order to let everyone get acquainted as soon as possible and create a warm and warm team atmosphere, Shen Ruolan began to make jokes.
Everyone also chatted and laughed a few words, only Zhang Eryong smiled reluctantly, and the smile lines on his face were like engraved ones.
After joking a few words, Shen Ruolan continued, "We will search separately after entering the mountain. It may take a few days or even ten days to find it. Everyone has worked hard. Remember, when you find the ghost grass, you must root it It’s better to dig out even the soil, ghost grass is easy to wither, and if it withers, it’s not as valuable as fresh ones.”
"No matter who it is, if you pick fresh ghost grass, you will be given five hundred taels of silver for every penny, and you will be given five hundred taels of silver for every penny spent on ginseng, but as long as the elderly are ginseng. In addition, if you can't find these two medicines, don't be discouraged. , I said that everyone who participated in our expedition to the mountain to collect herbs, no matter whether they picked it or not, everyone can get a subsidy of two taels of silver. Also, after you enter the mountain, you can also pick some wild fruits and sell them to others. Me, the price is definitely more than what was offered at the market!"
When everyone heard that there was such a good thing, they all said cheerfully, "Then the relationship is good. If you really haven't picked anything, it's not a waste of time..."
**
"Let's disperse here? If anyone finds them, they can play a pair of rattles to remind me, and then I will follow the sound to find you."
After entering the mountain, Shen Ruolan signaled everyone to disperse and search, and repeatedly told them to be careful, whether they found it or not, they must follow the principle of safety first!
"Lan'er, let's look for it together!"
Zhang Eryong was worried about Shen Ruolan and others, and wanted to accompany her personally and protect her.
Shen Ruolan didn't refuse either, "Okay, then let's go together, but you don't need to carry my pannier, you just carry your own things on your back."
"Give it to me. I don't have much stuff, so it's fine to memorize a little more. The mountains are full of potholes. You'll get tired after walking for a while. You won't be able to hold it!" Zhang Eryong insisted.
Shen Ruolan saw that he didn't give up until he reached his goal, so she took off the pannier and gave it to him.
There is a tent in her back basket. Yesterday morning, she asked Grandma Dong to remove and wash the two winter quilts she and Dong'er had made in winter. Those two quilts were the bedding she and her father used when she just wore them. It was later passed on to Dong'er and his grandma.
Those two sets of quilts are very torn, or are they made of coarse cloth? Patch after patch, Shen Ruolan wanted to replace them a long time ago, just now I need to make a tent when I go into the mountains, tents are not commonly used things, it is a pity and wasteful to use good fabrics, so I just wash these two sets of bedding After drying, it was used as a tent.
Shen Ruolan also gave Grandma Dong a tael of silver, and told her to go to the county or town to rebuild two new sets of quilts for their grandparents and grandchildren. There is no need to keep the cotton in the two sets of old quilts, which are black and smelly. , and they all formed into balls and have no elasticity. They are no longer suitable for heating, and it is almost the same for burning fire...
There are other things in the back basket, food and use, all are small objects, and many things have been put into the space by her, but since those things are not placed on the surface, she can't stab them I took it out, and I can only use it secretly in the tent when I go to sleep at night.
In the summer forest, a piece of lush green.
The fresh air is refreshing, filled with the smell of green grass and green leaves. The green grass is full of unknown wildflowers, like a big natural carpet, which is soft and rustling when stepped on.
"Brother Eryong, why are you looking sleepy today and not talking?" Shen Ruolan saw that Zhang Eryong had something on his mind, so she couldn't help asking with concern.
Zhang Eryong's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "I want to conserve my strength, or I won't be able to walk in a while!"
"Oh, that's it, then I won't say anything!"
Shen Ruolan also shut up, and continued walking with Zhang Eryong.
The more you go into the mountains, the better the scenery is. The rolling Wolong Mountain has beautiful scenery. In the foothills, there are green trees, overlapping mountains, fresh air, quiet and charming.
Walking to a fork in front of the road, Zhang Eryong stopped, pointed to the road on the left, and said, I used to go up the mountain to hunt, I used this road. This road is close to Longtou Peak. The terrain is dangerous and there are many wild animals. I have seen ghost grass and ginseng flowers on the peak.
When Shen Ruolan heard this, she suddenly regained her spirits, "Then let's go, how long will it take to get there?"
Zhang Eryong said casually, "Tomorrow noon should be about the same!"
Shen Ruolan clenched her fists, gave herself a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, then let's continue walking!"
"Um!"
"The road to Longtou Peak is extremely rugged and steep. There is a large elm forest on the way to the peak. There is a wild boar's territory in it. I let the wild boar attack me there last time."
Although Zhang Eryong didn't want to talk, he still had to tell her some things in advance so that she could be mentally prepared, so that he wouldn't tell her and scare her.
"Haha, that's great, my toothpick crossbow is finally useful..."
Not only is Shen Ruolan not afraid, she also feels a little joy in her heart. She has eaten wild pork, and it tastes much better than domestic pork. It would be great if she could get a few of them and put them in the space to eat slowly!
"In addition to wild boars, there are also wolves, but there are not many of them, and we may not be able to meet them..."
"..."
After walking for a while, Shen Ruolan was a little hungry. When eating this morning, she patronized Zhang Luohe to introduce the two medicines to everyone. She didn't eat well. After walking all morning, her stomach had already started protested to her.
Shen Ruolan said, "Brother Eryong, let's eat something before leaving!"
Zhang Eryong gave a soft "Yes", looked up, found a big elm tree with a huge crown, and took Shen Ruolan past.
He put his luggage and Shen Ruolan's basket under the tree root, and said, "Let's eat here, cool off!"
Then he went to untie the burden on his body, there were a few pieces of dry food in it, which he kept to satisfy his hunger in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruolan's hands were faster than his, before he took out the dry food, she took out two big white steamed buns and two red-skinned eggs from her back basket.
"Here, take it!"
Shen Ruolan stuffed a big white steamed bun and a boiled egg into his hand, then lowered her head and started eating.
