Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl
Chapter 6: Digging for Herbs and Discovering a Pool
Shen Li slowly stood up, and continued to climb the mountain with her petite and delicate body.
Her bright and focused eyes, like a lively elf, searched carefully in the mountains and forests.
Every time I discovered a new herb, it was like a stone was thrown into a calm lake, and an irrepressible ripple of joy surged in my heart.
She knew very well that these herbs were of extraordinary value. They were like treasures hidden in the mountains, quietly waiting for the right person to come and explore and discover them.
Suddenly, a Polygonum multiflorum plant came into her sight.
The vines of Polygonum multiflorum are like ancient brocade woven by time, winding and intertwining, and every twist and turn seems to be silently telling the story of the past.
Shen Li's eyes lit up instantly, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
She approached carefully and picked the Polygonum multiflorum carefully. At this moment, her heart was filled with the satisfaction of harvest, as if she had already seen the many wonderful possibilities that these herbs would bring to her. It was a vision full of expectations for the future.
And when another ginseng appeared in her sight, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit, like the beating of a small drum, each beat faster than the last.
She looked at the ginseng carefully, and quickly recalled the experience she had accumulated from reading books. Based on its various characteristics, she judged that it was about 50 years old.
Shen Li's hands were trembling slightly. Ginseng of this age is extremely rare.
In this deep mountain, where few people go, it seems like a paradise isolated from the world. It is precisely because of this that these herbs can grow so safely.
She couldn't help but feel emotional. This was such a selfless and generous gift from nature, just like a mother's love for her child, without reservation.
After carefully digging out the ginseng intactly, Shen Li continued to walk slowly towards the depths of the forest. The further he went, the more he felt that this deep mountain was like a mysterious, untapped treasure house.
The surrounding vegetation is lush and verdant, and the branches and leaves that cover the sky are like huge green umbrellas, covering the entire forest layer by layer, leaving only spots of light showing through.
In such an environment, Shen Li seemed to have become one with nature.
She could feel the gentle caress of the breeze through the leaves, hear the soft chirping of birds in the branches, and smell the fresh scent of earth and grass.
Just as she was immersed in the tranquility and mysterious atmosphere of the mountains and forests, a clear spring appeared before her eyes like a pearl hidden deep in a painting.
The spring water is crystal clear, like a huge mirror, sparkling in the sunlight, just like countless tiny diamonds jumping on the water.
Moreover, judging from the water constantly gushing out of the spring, the water storage capacity of this spring is very abundant.
Shen Li's eyes widened in surprise, like a child who had just found their favorite toy. The appearance of this spring water was like a precious gift bestowed upon her by God after giving her herbs and ginseng.
"Ding!" At this moment, the system's crisp notification sound suddenly rang in my mind, "Discovering precious herbs and ginseng, as well as a spring with abundant water reserves. Reward: 50 points, total score: 70 points."
When Shen Li heard the news, the joy in her heart was like a flood that was about to burst.
To her, these points are not just a simple number, but a high recognition of the results of her hard exploration in the deep mountains.
She thought to herself that her efforts and persistence had not been in vain. How many unknown surprises were waiting for her in these deep mountains?
With such strong anticipation, Shen Li continued to explore deeper into the mountains and forests with joy.
Just as Shen Li gently parted the grass and looked around like a vigilant deer, she suddenly felt something wrapped around her ankle.
The sudden touch made her heart tighten, and her body instinctively took a few steps back.
She quickly gripped the sickle in her hand, her eyes fixed on her ankle, wondering if she had encountered a dangerous creature like a poisonous snake.
When she took a closer look, Shen Li couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, a dead person..."
Xiao Qi's voice rang out anxiously in Shen Li's mind: "Ali, save him quickly, the system has issued a rescue mission, and the points are 500! Hahaha, great!!"
Xiao Qi rolled around excitedly in Shen Li's mind, like a little naughty boy who had won a super prize.
Shen Li frowned and said in embarrassment: "...Are you sure he can be saved? He's almost drained of blood! And looking at his appearance, he must be being hunted by someone!!"
Shen Li only thought for a moment and immediately decided to leave this place of trouble. She didn't want to be implicated innocently. After all, there were too many unknown dangers hidden in the deep mountains.
Shen Li nodded firmly: "Well, let's go now!" Just as she turned around, a very weak voice came intermittently: "Save...save me, I...have money..."
Shen Li's eyes lit up, and she said nonchalantly, "If you had money, you should have told me earlier."
After hearing this, the young man didn't know how to respond for a moment. He just opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He could only remain silent helplessly.
Shen Li didn't care about the boy's reaction. She immediately took a few quick steps and reached out to pull away the grass in front of her.
After she opened the door, she could finally see the person in front of her clearly.
The man was wearing a brocade robe. The material looked extremely luxurious, just like the legendary brocade she had read about in books.
Shen Li thought to herself: "This material must be worth a lot of money. This guy must be a rich man!"
The young man in brocade clothes was breathing weakly at this time, but he still forced himself to shout loudly: "Can you save me first? I feel like I'm about to die!!!"
Shen Li looked at the boy's eyes, which were full of eagerness and desire to survive.
Although his breath was very weak now, Shen Li could not understand why from his eyes. He really had reached a life-or-death moment.
Shen Li couldn't help but sneered: "Heh..." She didn't have time to check on the boy's other conditions. After all, the situation looked very critical.
She gestured a few times, and when her eyes fell on herself, she couldn't help but frown. Her current body was really short and small, just like a short stature.
Although she didn't want to describe herself like this, she was only eight years old.
She thought to herself, how tall can you expect an eight-year-old child to grow?
Besides, I usually don’t have enough to eat, so it’s pretty good to be like this now.
She hesitated for a long time, looking up and down at the boy. The boy looked to be at least twelve years old, and his height was estimated to be at least 1.75 meters.
Looking at herself again, she was only one meter tall at most. Shen Li narrowed her eyes slightly, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand, pinched the boy's waist, and then hugged him tightly.
Hey, I didn't expect that although Shen Daya is short, she is very strong. And this kind of strength is not ordinary strong, but a bit strange.
But she doesn't have time to think about these messy things now.
She quickly lifted the backpack on her back, took a deep breath, and carried the boy on her shoulders.
Shen Li walked laboriously and couldn't help complaining, "You can't imagine that when one person carries another, he still droops like a mop. Oh, this is really terrible!"
She tried hard to recall the route up the mountain in her mind. She remembered that there was a very hidden small cave there. It would be a good choice to place this person there first.
Shen Li walked and stopped like this, and after a lot of effort, he finally found the cave.
The entrance of the cave was completely blocked by a large patch of dense grass. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find.
Shen Li carefully reached out and parted the grass, then looked back worriedly before slowly walking into the cave.
The cave was quite dry, and there was no unpleasant odor in the air. Near the inside, there was a large stone slab.
Shen Li gently placed the boy on the stone slab, then leaned her body against the stone wall of the cave, breathing heavily.
After a short rest, she turned around and took down the bamboo basket. The boy's condition looked serious and he had fallen into a coma. He needed to be treated as soon as possible.
She suddenly remembered that she had picked a herb called "Bainiancao" before. This herb seemed to have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Now she could only try her best.
She took a stone from the side, rinsed it carefully with the water in the bamboo tube, and then began to process the herbs on the stone slab.
After processing the herbs, she gently undressed the boy, only to see that his clothes were stained black and red with blood, looking very scary.
Shen Li carefully applied the herbs to his wounds, and then carefully helped him put on his clothes. After doing all this, she turned around and prepared to leave.
But after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but sigh, hesitated for a moment, and walked back to the boy, stuffed the steamed bread in her arms into his hands, and put the bamboo tube aside.
As Shen Li walked out of the cave, he carefully cleaned up the traces he had left along the way.
After walking for a while, she reached out and touched the silver ingot and jade pendant she had just taken from the boy.
He muttered to himself, "This piece of silver is not enough to cover my saving your life. I have no choice but to use this jade pendant to pay for it. It looks like it has good water content."
