Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 7 Strange Flowers

Since this team of people looking for medicine were all riding tall horses, even though they were walking slowly, their speed was much faster than walking, so there were many guards following them, constantly urging them to walk faster, like driving cattle and sheep.

Si He was glad that she didn't do the job of moving grain, otherwise she would be more tired than an ox or a horse.

She walked in the middle of the team, neither fast nor slow, following the crowd.

The Tianshan Mountains are vast, with continuous mountains that are steep and difficult to walk on. The deeper you go, the colder it gets. Ordinary people simply don't dare to go deep into the mountains.

In the mountains, not only is the environment harsh, but there are also many wild beasts, and it can be said that dangers are lurking on every side.

Not long after they entered the mountain, they encountered a huge wild boar. The wild boar had strong attack power. Fortunately, the guards were skilled and killed it quickly. If it were the refugees behind them, they would probably be injured.

The guards were very happy to get a big wild boar, as they could have some good meat for today.

The refugees were a little envious and hoped that the guards could catch more wild animals so that they could share some with them.

But perhaps it was because they had more people and the beasts were not stupid, so after walking for a long time, they did not see any larger beasts. They did occasionally encounter some small animals like rabbits, but the few things they caught were not enough to share among their guards, so how could they give them to the refugees?

As they walked, they would stop to rest every once in a while, but they never said what herbs they were looking for.

It was not until dusk, when they were setting up camp, that the leader of the guards said that the herbs they were looking for were deep in the Tianshan Mountains.

After hearing this, many people became a little timid and secretly cursed them for being heartless and not telling them until they entered the mountain.

Deep in the Tianshan Mountains, dangers lurk everywhere.

It is said that after many people go deep, few can come out alive!

But the guard said that those who did not want to look for medicine could leave now and return the copper coins.

The refugees had no choice but to agree to continue looking for medicine. They had already walked for a day, and it would be very risky to leave. They did not encounter those ferocious beasts today because there were many people and the guards were very aggressive.

Helplessly, they gave up the idea of ​​leaving, mainly because they were reluctant to give up the reward for finding the medicine.

Si He felt a little disgusted when she saw the style of this team. They were tricked into going into the mountains first, but now they had to continue. She felt a little regretful that they followed them into the mountains to look for medicine. Now she felt that it was not a good thing.

But it was no use regretting, no one left and she couldn't leave alone.

The next morning, when distributing cakes, the guards showed everyone the blueprints and asked them to write down the herbs they were looking for, and explained that the herbs were deep in the Tianshan Mountains.

Si He looked at the pattern carefully. There was only one kind of herb she was looking for, a beautiful flower with light blue branches, light blue leaves, and snow-white flowers. It looked very strange.

The branches and leaves of this herb are covered with dense short thorns, some of which are crystal clear, like sharp dewdrops.

The snow-white flower is as big as a fist, with thick and large petals. There is a thin golden edge on the edge of each of the seven petals, which is very special.

The guards did not tell the name of the herb, but only showed everyone the pattern.

Everyone remembers the appearance of this herb very well. In fact, this herb is very easy to remember. Such a beautiful and exotic flower is hard to forget once you see it.

After remembering the characteristics of the herb, everyone hurriedly ate their cakes, some of them excited, and all wanted to find the strange flower and receive the reward of one hundred gold.

Soon, the team set off again and headed towards the heart of the mountains.

Now that they have a goal, everyone's spirit is different. At least they are sure that they are really looking for the medicine and not just tricking them into coming in to do something else. In fact, many people were hesitant before, but they didn't dare to say it.

As they moved forward, they occasionally encountered ferocious wild beasts. Fortunately, the team was well prepared and was able to deal with them quickly.

However, after walking for three days in a row and still not reaching the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, everyone began to get impatient, and Si He was also a little uneasy. But retreating was even more impossible now. The ferocious beasts encountered in the past few days were difficult for even the guards to deal with, not to mention these refugees who had no skills.

Now they can only pray that they can reach the hinterland as soon as possible and find the herbs as soon as possible so that they can leave this dangerous place.

Helplessly, they continued walking for two more days, but because there were so many people, they had already eaten a lot of the food they brought with them. If they continued like this, they would run out of food.

Therefore, the medicine-hunting team reduced the food distribution on the grounds of food shortage, and only gave out one piece of bread every day. As for the bread they were owed, they said they would compensate them after they got out of the mountain.

Everyone suppressed their anger and could only look for edible wild fruits or vegetables on the way to fill their stomachs.

On the seventh day in the mountains, the medicine-hunting team reduced their food again, only distributing half a piece of bread a day. This caused many people to be indignant, but everyone also saw that they did not have much food left, so they asked when they would reach their destination?

But the guards only said it would be soon, and there was nothing they could do.

It’s the tenth day since I entered the mountains, and I still haven’t reached my destination. How long will it take me to reach my destination?

If we go any further, the food will be almost gone!

But the guards still said that they would be there soon and the journey would take a few days. As for the food they owed, it could be exchanged for money.

A piece of cake is worth two copper coins.

The guards immediately took out a large bag of copper coins and said that they would use the copper coins to pay off the bread owed from the previous few days. From then on, each person could get eight copper coins and half a bread every day.

Outside, one copper coin could only buy one piece of cake, so there was nothing much to say and everyone could only do as they said.

After all, we have been walking for so long, it is impossible to just quit. If we leave alone like this, we may die at any time in the heart of this deep mountain.

Everyone continued on their journey, eating sparingly and trying to find food in the mountains and forests along the way.

In this way, everyone walked for another five days, and finally on the fifteenth day after entering the mountains, they arrived at the place where they were looking for medicine. The medicine-hunting team camped in a relatively open mountain area and said that the herbs were in the nearby mountains.

After hearing this, many refugees became excited and began to look for medicine nearby.

Si He stood on a small hill not far from the camp, looking at the nearby mountains. She was not in a hurry to find the herbs like other refugees. She cared more about her life than the generous rewards.

The top of the Tianshan Mountains is covered with snow all year round and is extremely cold.

Only at the foot of the mountain and in the lower mountains are there green plants and forests, and the temperature is warmer.

However, this dense and extensive forest area is the most dangerous.

The various ferocious beasts, poisonous creatures and strange plants encountered along the way verified this point.
