I, Liuxian, am not a dragon, don't disturb

After all... Herb pickers depend on herbs for a living, so naturally they can't cut off their backs.

It is also because of this that she has come so far.

There are only a few herbs in the back basket, and none of them are valuable herbs.

And for such a small amount, even ten cents can't be exchanged.

After walking for more than an hour, Zhou Chuxue was also tired.

He found a tree at random and leaned against it to rest.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the herbs in the basket, and sighed slightly in her heart.

"It seems that we have to change the road in the future. There are no herbs worth collecting near this road."

Naturally, she is not the only herb picker in Long County, she is just one of them.

She was obviously not the only one who came to collect herbs on this road.

Zhou Chuxue looked up at the sun in the mid-air and thought:

"It's still early, it's better to go deeper."

Zhou Chuxue rarely went deep into the mountains.

Because the more you enter a sparsely populated place, the more likely you will encounter those beasts.

However, it is broad daylight.

As long as you don't go too deep into the mountains, the possibility of encountering wild animals is still very small.

Besides, if you don't collect more medicinal materials, I'm afraid you will be hungry in a few days.

Although it is said that you can beg the lady for help, it is not good to always beg for help...

They have no relatives and no reason, and the young lady has already helped her a lot.

After resting, Zhou Chuxue picked up the basket, picked up the sickle, and continued to head towards the deep mountain.

As a child of a herb picker, Zhou Chuxue is still at ease even if she goes deep into a place she has never been to.

Along the way, it can be regarded as not encountering any obstacles.

And after going deep into the mountains.

The medicinal materials that can be collected have indeed increased.

She even saw a few plants of very rare medicinal herbs. The only pity is that these medicinal herbs are still not old enough.

You can only make a mark first and pick it up later.

But even so, the harvest of this trip has gradually become richer.

In just over two hours, the pannier behind her was half full.

If you go back and sell it to the medical center, you won't have to worry about money for half a month.

from noon to noon.

Zhou Chuxue stopped by a stream, washed the soil on the wild fruits with the stream, and ate them directly.

This is today's lunch.

While eating, Zhou Chuxue suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a familiar herb on the opposite side of the creek.

The herb has a strange appearance, with five leaves that look like someone's hand, and a small red flower in the middle.

Although she has only seen this kind of herb in the medicine books in the medical hall.

But because the people in the medical center told her that it was a very precious herb, she kept it firmly in her heart.

Seeing it now, she naturally recognized what it was at a glance.

"Human, ginseng?! And it seems that there are still many years! Cough cough cough..."

Zhou Chuxue almost choked on her own lunch. After coughing, she said pleasantly:

"That's great, Empress Bi Ling really blessed me! As long as I take this back, I won't have to worry about it for a long time."

"Maybe even Miss's kindness can be repaid!"

Thinking of this, the fruit in Zhou Chuxue's hands immediately became stale.

She immediately threw the fruit back into the basket, then stood up and bowed in the direction of the Taoist Temple, saying, "Thank you, Empress Bi Ling, for your protection!"

After speaking, Zhou Chuxue set off again.

Walking along the stream, looking for a way to cross this stream.

As for why not swim in the past?

One reason is that the stream is relatively turbulent, and the other reason is that Zhou Chuxue can't swim and is a landlubber.

Naturally, he didn't dare to swim over.

After all, she cared more about her own life than medicinal herbs.

After walking along the creek for a short distance, Zhou Chuxue suddenly saw a fallen tree.

And the two ends of the broken log happened to be on both sides of the creek, forming a natural single-plank bridge.

"Great! God help me too."

Seeing this, she hurried to the edge of the single-plank bridge.

But she didn't go up in a hurry, but went to test whether the single-plank bridge was stable or not.

After all, be careful!

She stepped on it vigorously, and found that the single-plank bridge seemed to be quite stable, so she took off her straw sandals and stepped on it carefully.

The single-plank bridge was covered with moss, and Zhou Chuxue didn't dare to walk too fast.

Only dare to move to the other side of the river bit by bit.

Fortunately, the single-plank bridge was indeed very stable, and she walked to the middle.

The single-plank bridge is still motionless.

"Halfway, it's almost over."

Zhou Chuxue took a deep breath.

Continue to move towards the other side little by little.

Suddenly!

Zhou Chuxue stepped on the slippery moss on the single-plank bridge, slipped for a while, and stepped on the air with one foot, making a cut on the branch of the dead tree, and her body became unstable. , and even almost fell into the river like this.

Fortunately, she stabilized.

Did not fall into the water because of it.

This made Zhou Chuxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After her heartbeat gradually calmed down, she slowly got up and walked towards the opposite bank.

Soon, they reached the other side without any danger.

Zhou Chu and Xuechang exhaled, and they couldn't help but thank the God of Changbai Mountain for their protection.

She didn't stop, she didn't care about the wound on her feet, she put on the straw sandals in a hurry, and ran in front of Ginseng.

She carefully looked at the appearance of the ginseng, and after making sure that she was not mistaken, she dug it carefully.

Zhou Chuxue once heard that this kind of ginseng has spirits, and it must be dug slowly and carefully. If it is disturbed, it will turn into a ginseng doll and run away.

Fortunately, this ginseng did not turn into a ginseng doll and run away.

After a while, she dug it out completely.

"Is this ginseng? It really looks like a person!"

Looking at the appearance of ginseng, Zhou Chuxue couldn't help being excited.

But after the excitement, the tingling pain in his feet gradually came.

Only then did she remember that there was still a gash on her foot...

Now the bleeding has stopped, but the wound still hurts.

She first wrapped the ginseng and put it back in the basket, then tore off a corner of her clothes and bandaged herself briefly.

"Hmm! That's all right! You can just go back and get some medicine."

Zhou Chuxue put on her shoes again, then got up and prepared to return.

Because she has to go back before dark... Changbai Mountain at night is not as quiet as during the day, so she has to return earlier.

Moreover, her foot was injured, and the way back would certainly not be easier than when she came.

Zhou Chuxue put the basket on her back, and excitedly stepped onto the single-plank bridge again.

This time, she walked more slowly and carefully than last time, without any carelessness.

However, on the way back, she was obviously extremely careful, but she still missed the slippery wooden bridge.

To make matters worse, because of the sting on the foot, the sting hit when I stepped on the air.

It even caused her to not even be able to stabilize her body, and her whole body fell into the stream like this.

The stream is deep and swift.

She doesn't know how to swim at all, so she can only struggle hard in the water...

But it's futile...

After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Zhou Chuxue gradually lost her strength.

Although she hasn't given up yet, her physical strength is almost exhausted.

Even because of the choking on the water, her entire chest is burning hot now... making it difficult for her to breathe.

I don't know when, she just passed out in the water like this.

Washed by the stream, I don't know where it went.

In mid-air, a few sparrows were circling and playing in the forest, chattering endlessly.

I don't know how they can talk when they come here.

It seems that I never feel that there is no topic.

A few sparrows were flying around, and suddenly saw something in the distant pool.

Curious about everything, they flew over in a hurry.

When they got to their side, they realized that someone was soaking in the water.

Without thinking too much, several sparrows worked together to pull the man in the water up.

"What to do? What to do? Should we save her?"

"Didn't Sister Xiaoqing often say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? Of course we must!"

"Yes, yes, she's still alive, she's not dead yet! She's still saved!"

"But how should we save? Do you know the spell to save people?"

"I, I, I heard just get the water out!"

"Then I'll call Sister Xiaoqing!"

"Good, good."

Several fat sparrows immediately separated into action.

Some jumped on Zhou Chuxue's chest, trying to press the water out, while others flew directly to Su Qing.

Changbai Mountain Tianchi.

Su Qing was sitting fishing in the newly built pavilion by the pond that day.

And Ao Ying sat beside her, watching her fish.

Thinking in her heart, if Su Qing can't catch it, she will help her cheat.

At this moment, a little sparrow flew over suddenly.

Interrupting Su Qing's leisurely mood, and talking to Su Qing about what they found in the forest.
