Chapter 14 Ideas
All the way forward, about 20 minutes or so, the gray wolf stopped suddenly. It lowered its head, started to hesitate, and barked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao immediately signaled: "You said the thing is in front?"
Gray Wolf whimpered and nodded his head.
Perhaps because of being able to communicate with animals, Li Xiao can clearly sense whether animals are hostile to him. Apart from being close to Li Xiao, this gray wolf has no hostility towards Li Xiao.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiao trusts Gray Wolf unconditionally.
Sometimes, compared with deep-minded human beings, animals are more simple. Once it recognizes you, it will never betray you.
Li Xiao pulled out the sharp machete behind him and explored forward.
After walking for more than ten meters and cutting off a few thumb-thick tree vines in front of him, a surprised smile appeared on his face immediately.
Could this be the baby Gray Wolf told himself?
Li Xiao and his grandfather had studied Chinese medicine, so they were naturally very familiar with herbal medicine.
What appeared in front of Li Xiao's eyes was the king of herbs - ginseng.
I saw that most of the ginseng was buried in the soil, only the upper part was exposed.
"This is really a treasure, this time I really got rich!" Li Xiao murmured.
From its appearance, he could tell that this ginseng tree was at least thirty years old, and it was definitely a good product for nourishing qi and strengthening the body.
If it wasn't for the fear of provoking even more powerful beasts, Li Xiao would have yelled a few times, perhaps in this way he could release his excitement.
Although I don't know the true value of this ginseng tree, it must be worth a lot.
Li Xiao took out a small medicine shovel that looked very delicate, this is one of the equipments he must bring when he enters the mountain. In the mountains, there are all kinds of wild Chinese herbal medicines, many of which are precious. If he encounters it, Li Xiao will naturally pick it up, which is why he carries a medicine shovel with him.
Holding the medicine shovel in his hands, perhaps because of his excitement, Li Xiao felt his hands tremble a little.
Taking a deep breath, he carefully dug up the edge of the ginseng. His movements were very careful and gentle, for fear that if he accidentally dug up even a very inconspicuous ginseng tentacles, in Li Xiao's opinion , that is a huge waste.
With the quick movements of Li Xiao's hands, most of the ginseng has been exposed to the soil.
Just when he was about to continue, suddenly, behind him, there was a shrill wolf howl, and Li Xiao was startled. Almost at the same time, a voice sounded in his head: "Be careful."
At the same time, in the corner of Li Xiao's eyes, he saw a red line shooting towards him with lightning speed. The speed is extremely fast, and it has reached him in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiao dare not be careless, in this forest, being careless means death.
The muscles all over his body immediately tensed up, and he leaped forward, his figure was like electricity, he jumped several meters away, and then he turned around.
Where he was originally standing, there was a little red snake.
This snake is not big, only the thickness of a finger, but it is red all over, surrounded by purple patterns, a black core heaves back and forth, making a slight sound, and the cold snake eyes are staring at Li Xiao, revealing Vicious and cold.
Seeing this little snake, Li Xiao didn't dare to be careless.
He didn't know the specific scientific name of this little snake, but from its bright color, Li Xiao could already tell that this little snake was highly poisonous.
rub!
The little snake's body bowed again, and with a flick of its tail, it shot again in the direction of Li Xiao. If it was an arrow that left the string, the speed was extremely fast.
This time Li Xiao was prepared, so he responded calmly. He leaned to one side, avoiding the little snake's attack, then raised the saber in his hand and slashed down with the machete in his hand, cutting the little snake in two.
The little snake's vitality was very strong, even though it had become two parts, its body was still twisted on the ground, and it took a long time before it died completely.
Li Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally let out a long sigh of relief. If Gray Wolf hadn't reminded him, he might be in danger.
At this time, the gray wolf came to Li Xiao's side, without hesitation, directly bit the little snake's body, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Originally, Li Xiao was still worried about whether the gray wolf would be poisoned if he ate the little snake, but seeing how the gray wolf was alive and kicking, he ignored it.
After getting a 30-year-old wild ginseng, Li Xiao was in a good mood. He knocked on Gray Wolf's forehead and said, "You have done a great job."
Many animals are psychic, especially beasts, which are even more sensitive in this respect.
Gray Wolf also felt Li Xiao's mood, it immediately stuck out its tongue and licked Li Xiao's palm.
A gray wolf's tongue is rough and uncomfortable to lick on the palm of your hand.
Li Xiao hugged Gray Wolf's big head, and said dotingly, "Since you've followed me, I'll call you Ada from now on."
With the help of the gray wolf, Li Xiao easily returned to the place where the fungus was found, and his two sacks stood leaning against a dead tree.
This trip to the mountains and forests has yielded a lot for Li Xiao, and he is ready to leave.
Before leaving the forest, Li Xiao gave a few more instructions to Ah Da, and then quickly left the forest.
Because of the tall trees all around, it is easy to get lost when walking here. It is a terrible thing to lose your way in the mountains.
On the way back to the village, Li Xiao left a lot of marks for the convenience of coming back next time.
It was almost noon at this time. On the reclaimed fields in Ning Village, many farmers were sitting by the ridges to eat. They were all from the same village. Many villagers sat together and chatted happily.
A villager had sharp eyes, and he saw a figure appearing on the path leading to the mountain in the village.
"Isn't that person Li Xiao?"
"I heard that Li Xiao just got a goat not long ago. It's such a big guy. He probably made a lot of money."
"I don't know what Li Xiao has gained this time?"
Seeing Li Xiao's figure getting closer and clearer, everyone immediately started talking.
Li Daozheng was extremely proud when he heard them praise his son.
Along the way, countless people greeted Li Xiao.
Seeing what Li Xiao was carrying, many villagers came to him out of curiosity and surrounded him.
When he came to his parents, he put the two hemp on the ground and made a dull bang.
"Good guy, this weight is heavy enough, Li Xiao, what good things did you get?" A villager asked.
Originally, this was the source of income that Li Xiao was preparing for the villagers, so Li Xiao didn't hide it, and opened the mouth of the sack directly.
Seeing the pieces of trembling fungus in the sack, the expressions on the faces of everyone were incomparably exciting, some were shocked, some were envious, some were jealous, and the expressions were different.
"There are so many fungus, it must weigh hundreds of catties, right?"
"How much can this sell for?"
"Uncle Daozheng, Brother Xiao is so capable, you will enjoy the blessings soon."
Seeing the two sacks of fungus, Li Daozheng's expression changed. He ignored the compliments from the surrounding villagers, but directly grabbed Li Xiao's arm and said, "Go home and talk about it."
