Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 23 Gastrodia elata and the long snake

"do not move!"

Aju scolded coquettishly, "Brother Xiaokang, there is Gastrodia elata in front of you."

Follow Aju's fingers to look over.

Among the wild grass not far away, there are 3 plants with lingering green leaves and a tall stem growing straight in the middle.

On the top of their stems, they are covered with dark purple, mixed with a little taupe small flowers.

Aju walked up to the Gastrodia elata plant first, and handed over the medicinal hoe in her hand, "Brother Xiaokang, you are really lucky, this is Gastrodia elata.

However, it cannot be dug yet.

Brother Xiaokang, remember the location. In two months, you can dig it out and sell it for money. Here, you can shovel the weeds next to Gastrodia elata. For the thinner weeds, you can cut them with a sand sickle. That's it. "

So this is Gastrodia elata?

After picking up the baby, Han Xiaokang was also very happy.

Neither my predecessor in this life nor myself knew wild Gastrodia elata.

Now with the help of Aju, a girl who grew up in the mountains, I might be able to collect a lot of rare medicinal materials this trip.

The purchase price of wild Gastrodia elata at the purchasing station of the district supply and marketing cooperative is not low.

Unfortunately,
It is only July now, Gastrodia elata has not entered the dormancy period, and cannot be picked yet.

Han Xiaokang looked around, looking for something with a landmark so that he could remember the location in his mind.

I plan to wait until winter, so I can come over again and dig out these 3 Gastrodia elata and sell them for money.

This place belongs to the topography of two mountains and one ditch.

Except for weeds, small trees, and thorns, there is nothing particularly conspicuous to mark in the ditch.

On the cliff on the right, there is a big crooked wild mulberry tree, which is relatively conspicuous.

and many more
Intuition told Han Xiaokang: There seems to be something on the tree, peeping over there?

Han Xiaokang put his hands on the awning and watched intently, and finally saw clearly: the thing squatting on the mulberry tree was actually a small macaque, looking in this direction non-stop.

The baby macaques are not a threat.

As long as it doesn't call its parents or its seven aunts and aunts, there is nothing to worry about.

Feeling relieved, Han Xiaokang looked away and prepared to work to eradicate the weeds around the three Gastrodia elata, so that the growth of Gastrodia elata would be better.

After all, the size of Gastrodia elata can determine its price.

There will be a lot of difference between the purchase price of the slightly larger ones and the small ones.

Putting down the basket, put Aju's medicine hoe aside.

Han Xiaokang took out his sickle and began to cut the grass.

Seeing Han Xiaokang mowing weeds, Aju and Wu Juren consciously stood a few meters behind.

The two did not get involved in this matter.

This is because there is an unwritten rule in collecting medicinal materials in the mountains: whoever discovers it first, it will belong to him.

Even if it is a companion who entered the mountain together, don't follow suit.

Otherwise, it would be due to the efforts of the companions, and the precious medicinal materials they found had to be shared equally.

Wu Juren had no credit for discovering Gastrodia elata this time, so he consciously avoided it.

As for Aju, it was obvious that she intended to hand over Gastrodia to Han Xiaokang, who didn't know the hidden rules of digging medicine.

So she stepped back a few steps like Wu Juren, and did not step forward to help.

The sand sickle has sharp serrated teeth, and it is the most suitable for cutting this kind of silk grass.

Just as Han Xiaokang was weeding Gastrodia elata with "shua, shua, shua", Zheng mow worked hard.

suddenly!

There was a soft "hissing", like the cold air of an air conditioner, suddenly blowing on the person's body.

It made people feel cold all over, and layers of goosebumps, like waves after waves, suddenly covered Han Xiaokang's whole body!

It's too late, it's too soon.

Among the thatch,

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped up and rushed towards his face!

The black shadow that rushed towards Han Xiaokang was originally green.

But due to the close distance,
Before the pupils could focus, what caught Han Xiaokang's eyelids was a growing black shadow.

The opponent is coming quickly.

Han Xiaokang's martial arts foundation and the "teleportation" skill rewarded by the system.

It exploded all at once!
The long snake came swiftly.

Han Xiaokang didn't look closely, but just teleported 10 centimeters to the side.

Then he stretched out his hand, and grabbed the striped black shadow and the phantom that was transformed out of thin air.

"Sizzling—"

The snake's letter was red, its nose was foul-smelling, and its fangs were ferocious.

"His-"

Seeing that the snake couldn't get around the vital part of Han Xiaokang's neck, the snake that rushed over quickly twisted its slender body, turned its head to bite Han Xiaokang's arm.

"Sizzling—"

How could Han Xiaokang wait for death with his hands tied up, and he didn't care about his own hands, he just grabbed the middle of the snake's body.

Anyway, he firmly grasped the snake's body, and slammed it aside!
The powerful inertia instantly straightened the snake's head.

While the opponent was still surrounded, Han Xiaokang protruded his left hand, and firmly grasped it a few inches below the neck.

Then his right hand loosened slightly.

At this time, the green snake had lost its previous inertia, its body twisted and its mouth opened wide.

The long snake tail curled upwards, trying to wrap around Han Xiaokang's neck.The long snake's tail curled up, and Han Xiaokang slid his right hand, grabbing the snake's tail tightly.

When it was rounded, it fell hard to the ground!

"puff--"

"Pfft-"

drop it
Stars began to appear in the big snake's head.

beat twice,

The long snake's torso is like fermented noodles ready to be fried in fried dough sticks.

Han Xiaokang slammed the snake's head on the ground for several rounds, and the 3-jin long snake in his hand lost all strength.

"call--"

When the long snake was limp on the ground, Han Xiaokang threw the snake on the ground.

Don't look at the dangerous fight between Han Xiaokang and the long snake just now, but in fact all of this happened in a very short period of time.

As a result, Wu Juren and Miss Aju, who were teasing Dahu and Erhu in the distance, didn't have time to react.

After they found out that the situation was not good, Han Xiaokang was already turning around the snake, and fell to the ground with all his might
Seeing that Han Xiaokang successfully threw the snake to death, Wu Juren gave a thumbs up, "Good job! Kid, have you studied martial arts?"

Aju quickly put down the tiger, ran over quickly, and bent down to pick up the sickle that Han Xiaokang had thrown away earlier.

He stabbed the tip of the knife into the big snake's head with incomparable precision.
Han Xiaokang mentioned the extremely sharp medicine hoe that Aju brought over, aimed at the snake's head, and shoveled it down with all his might.

The long snake's head took advantage of the torso not paying attention, and it was completely separated at once.

So far,

Between the heaven and the earth, it seems to have suddenly calmed down.

The wind doesn't blow anymore.

The sun doesn't seem to be so poisonous anymore.

【Ding--】

In Han Xiaokang's mind, that strange but familiar mechanical voice sounded:

[Eliminate 1 reptile today, and get 20 extra work points as encouragement]

[Total work points: 278]

I entered the mountain a few days ago and already accumulated 250 work points.

After returning home, I went to work in the sugarcane field for another day.

But that kind of farm work belongs to the light work done by women in the production team, so only 8 work points can be recorded.

Now kill a long snake by yourself and get 20 work points, so the total is 278.

Han Xiaokang thought to himself: It seems that I will have to work a lot and find something to do in the future
Otherwise, if you want to open a treasure chest, it will be indefinitely.

just don't know,
When the treasure chest is opened next time, what can be opened?

　Don't keep books, big reader, your follow-up reading is the driving force for the little ants to move forward.

　　Look at how hard it is for the little ants. You have to buy three pairs of shoes for one purchase, which is enough to wear six legs. The pressure is very stressful.
