Chapter 240 (2/2)

“Tang Xiu, we have to quickly find them. My cell phone is almost out of power, the phone’s light won’t last long.” Seeing the thoughtful expression on Tang Xiu’s face, Su Ben urged in a low voice.

Tang Xiu nodded. He actually didn’t need the cell phone’s light. His eyes could see everything in the surrounding, even in this darkness. Moreover, he didn’t rely on his eyes in finding the medicinal herbs, but his spiritual sense.

He released his perception and covered the plant and trees within the radius of 200 meters. Only in this way would he be able to find the medicinal herbs in the shortest possible time.

“Found it.”

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu’s eyes turned bright. He quickly found the needed herb in a cliff crevice. It was the Silver Dragon Grass.

“Tang Xiu, what are you looking for exactly?” Su Ben’s expression was a bit strange. He stared at the herb in Tang Xiu’s hand and observed it for a while before he asked curiously.

Tang Xiu said, “This one is a Silver Dragon Grass. Aside from eliminating silt blood, it can also nourish the bones. This herb is not easy to find. The reason I came looking for it is that I remember having seen it when we hiked up this mountain when we were small.”

Su Ben touched his nose and said with a wry smile, “If I knew that you needed this herb earlier, we wouldn’t have tired ourselves running here. A few days ago when I was cutting grass to feed the sheep, I cut a lot of these… medicinal herbs. Some of them are still in the shed now!”

“What?”

Tang Xiu looked at him with disbelief. One must know that if these medicinal herbs were to be sold in the medicinal herbs market in the city, the Silver Dragon Grass could fetch a price of 1000 yuan each. But Su Ben turned out to be feeding them to the sheep?

This… was way too extravagant and wasteful, wasn’t it?

Tang Xiu secretly shook his head and said with a dry smile, “Big Brother Ben, when we go back, quickly pick out those Silver Dragon Grasses. Bear in mind, this medicinal herb is very valuable. If you can find a lot of them, I’m willing to buy them for 1000 yuan each.”

“What?”

Su Ben stared. He was almost scared to death.

1000 yuan?

The livestock he raised at home and the wage he got from the construction team, how much money would he get for the whole year? It was only a mere 20,000 yuan! This Silver Dragon Grass is worth 1,000 yuan. With those 23 strains left, it was equal to his hard-earned annual income!

“Tang Xiu, are not you kidding me?” Sun Ben asked seriously.

“No, I’m not.” Tang Xiu said. “If you can find more Silver Dragon Grasses, I will buy them for 1,000 yuan each. However, this mountain has wild animals. If you come pick them, you would likely enter their territories and court danger.”

Su Ben said, “Don’t worry. I know a good deal about it. So after I go back, I’ll search and see how many Silver Dragon Grass are left there.”

“Alright!” Tang Xiu nodded.

The two no longer stayed on the mountain. Tang Xiu was a bit regretful since he didn’t encounter any fierce beasts, but grandma’s injuries were more important, he couldn’t delay here for too long.

Back to the place where he parked the car, Tang Xiu drove back to the Su family village and dropped Su Ben in front of his house. Su Ben told him that the village chief had silver needles, so Tang Xiu didn’t need to go elsewhere to find it.

“Xiu’er, have you found what you needed?” Seeing that Tang Xiu had come back, Su Lingyun asked.

“Yes, Mom.” Tang Xiu said. “Big Brother Ben also had some with him, so I can treat Grandmother’s injuries.”

Although Chen Huiying was very sleepy, she didn’t go home to sleep. She was concerned about Zhang Shi’s injury and her son had left with Tang Xiu, so she waited. As she heard Tang Xiu’s words, she curiously asked, “Didn’t Ben go out with you? Where’s he?”

“He went to the village chief. He said that the chief has silver needles.” Said Tang Xiu.

“Ah, right.” Chen Huiying nodded, “The village chief used to be a barefoot doctor. If it wasn’t because that accident several years ago, with some people dying, our village would have a senior doctor now!”

At this moment, Zhang Shi finally awoke. She also just talked to her daughter a lot. Upon seeing Tang Xiu had come back, she waved and called him, saying, “Xiu’er, grandmother is useless. That man just gently beat me twice, but my leg broke.”

Tang Xiu shook his head, “Grandma, you’re old. But in my heart, you’re actually a capable person. When I was small, what I liked the most was eating your sweet-scented Osmanthus cake.”

Although Zhang Shi was feeling pain, she still smiled, “If grandma’s leg gets better, I’ll make Osmanthus cake for you.”

Tang Xiu said laughed, “Thanks, grandma. I know that aside from Mom, you’re also very good to me.”
