The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

"Last night, I heard Zao Ge'er say that Xing Ge'er wanted to go up the mountain alone today? Did you agree?"

Ye Fanxing had just come out of the kitchen after washing the dishes when she saw Ye Yushan looking at Song Haoming with dissatisfaction and questioning him.

Ye Fanxing hurriedly went to meet him, fearing that once Song Haoming said that, there would be no chance of her going up the mountain today.

"That...Brother Yushan..."

Ye Yushan glanced at Ye Fanxing, who was standing there with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He knew very well that this was his own idea.

Although Zao Ge'er said that Xing Ge'er might know some herbs, not everyone can pick them, otherwise the mountain would have been completely plucked bare.

Besides, he often hunts in the mountains. Doesn’t he know that although the mountains seem peaceful, they are full of dangers?

So he had to persuade him patiently: "Xing'er, this mountain is not a place to play. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."

Song Haoming had known that Ye Fanxing would go up the mountain, but he didn't expect that he would go up the mountain alone, so he stared at him with some disapproval.

What does he want to do? Does he want to die?

“I’m not going there to play.”

"Besides, if I'm lucky enough, I can dig up some wild ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and..."

Having said that, Ye Fanxing paused, and sure enough, he saw Song Haoming and Ye Yushan looking at him as if he were a fool.

Their eyes seemed to be saying, keep making up stories and see who is stupid, you or us.

"Ahem." Seeing this, Ye Fanxing could only clear his throat and tell the truth: "Well... I ordered a lot of things from Uncle Li yesterday, and I also have to buy rapeseed in advance. How can this be free?"

When Song Haoming heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. The situation at home was just as Ye Fanxing had described. He was thinking again whether he should pawn the jade pendant with a pattern of a dragon and auspicious clouds in his hand?

Thinking of my grandfather's repeated instructions before his death, I gave up the idea. I also thought that I could make money by copying books, but the ink, paper and inkstone...

Thinking of this, Song Haoming sighed helplessly and said to Ye Yushan: "Since he wants to go, then let him go. However, I will have to trouble Brother Yushan to help me look after him on the mountain."

Unexpectedly, Song Haoming was the first to agree. Ye Fanxing didn't care whether Brother Yushan was willing or not, and quickly patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely follow Brother Yushan obediently and will never run around."

Ye Yushan had originally planned to help Zao Ge'er at the Song family today. Now that Song Haoming had relented and Ye Fanxing looked like she had to go up the mountain, he could only nod in agreement.

Just when Ye Yushan was about to go and say hello to Zao Ge'er, Ye Fanxing ran up to Song Haoming with a smile, said "thank you", then picked up the backpack and ran out the door following Ye Yushan.

If Song Haoming hadn't been paying attention to Ye Fanxing's every move, I'm afraid this "thank you" would have been gone with the wind.

He knew why Ye Fanxing wanted to thank him, and he also wanted to say thank you to him!

Ye Yushan heard the footsteps coming from behind him and could only helplessly say: "Follow."

The two men first found Zao Ge'er. The three of them exchanged a few brief words, and then Ye Yushan took the hunting tools and ran to the foot of the mountain behind the mountain with Ye Fanxing without looking back.

The road ahead was relatively flat and easier to walk on because more people walked on it. However, the road behind was different from the one that Zao Ge'er had taken him on before. It was full of thorns. If Ye Yushan had not led the way in front, his clothes would have been torn.

He stumbled along the way, and the pain on the soles of his feet made him particularly disgusted with the pair of traditional cloth shoes that he had loved so much before.

What he was thinking about at this moment were all kinds of hiking shoes and various outdoor supplies!

The more he thought about it, the more exhausted he felt, and his steps gradually slowed down due to the pain. However, seeing that Ye Yushan was still leading the way in front, he could only grit his teeth and follow closely behind!

I am a grown man, and I asked to go up the mountain. There is no reason for me to give up halfway!

In fact, Ye Yushan had already slowed down his pace at some point, which was why Ye Fanxing was able to keep up with him.

"We've arrived!"

As soon as Ye Yushan finished speaking, he saw Ye Fanxing sitting down under a big tree in a very ungraceful manner!

He used to collect herbs in the mountains, sometimes he would walk for a whole day. Although he had mountain climbing equipment at that time and was still very tired after a trip, it was not like it is now. After walking for more than an hour, his legs were shaking so much that they were almost out of control!

It seems that I have overestimated the original owner's physical fitness!

A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and a few disobedient hairs were scattered by the wind and stuck to Ye Fanxing's cheeks, making him feel very uncomfortable.

He reached out and took out a clean cloth from the backpack, wiped his face twice, and then reached into his clothes to wipe it...

"Hey, Xing Ge'er you..."

Ye Yushan looked at Ye Fanxing hesitantly, wanting to remind him that he was still here.

"what happened?"

"..."

Seeing Ye Yushan turning around, he only then remembered that he was a brother!

"Ahem, um...Brother Yushan, you can go hunting. Don't worry, I'm here and I won't run around."

As Ye Fanxing spoke, he stood up and pointed to the place they passed when they came here. There was a low bush with a few small red fruits on it.

Ye Yushan gave a few more careful instructions, and after receiving Ye Fanxing's repeated assurances that this was not a deep mountain or old forest, he felt a little relieved and went hunting.

However, he decided to come back and check after a while. Based on his understanding of Ye Fanxing, his promises could not be trusted.

Ye Fanxing came to the bushes and took a closer look. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He realized that he had picked up a treasure!

According to the records in "Compendium of Materia Medica": The wolfberry tree, the wolfberry leaves are picked in spring, named Tianjingcao; the flowers are picked in summer, named Changshengcao; the fruits are picked in autumn, named wolfberry fruits; the roots are picked in winter, named Digupi.

Wolfberry: It tastes bitter and cold, and can cure evil spirits in the five internal organs, polydipsia caused by heat, and rheumatism. Long-term consumption can strengthen muscles and bones, make the body light and prevent aging, and help resist cold and heat.

It is early autumn now, and the wolfberries are gradually ripening. However, if you want to pick them in large quantities, you still have to wait for some time.

He will then find a way to come again.

Ye Fanxing first picked all the red wolfberries on the tree and put them in a small backpack. Then he broke off a few wolfberry branches and prepared to take them back and plant them against the wall.

In this way, he can pick the fruits at home in the future. Moreover, the thorns on the tree will prevent people from climbing over the wall easily, which can be regarded as an added layer of protection for his home's safety.

After finishing his work, Ye Fanxing walked around the area again. He didn't pay attention to the situation under his feet, stumbled, and rolled down the slope.
