Chapter 190: Picking Psyllium ... (1/2)
Wang Teng thanked the girl looking at the tea on the front of her face.
The other person looks about the same size as him, and may even be smaller. He is simple and modestly dressed, not as gorgeous as an urban girl, thin and small, but his face is not small, but he is rather calm when facing him.
Her home is a kind of self-built private house. Actually, I just walked over and saw that other houses in the village are also like this.
Wang Teng looked at the situation in the room without any traces. She was a little shabby, and she knew her family situation in her heart.
He took a sip of water and frosted the cup in his hand and asked, ”Look that you are about the same size as me, didn't you go to school?”
”The situation at home is special and I dropped out of school.”
Bai Xiaocao sat down opposite Wang Teng, shook his head, didn't want to say more, and asked, ”Li Zhi said you were going into the mountain?”
”Yes.” Wang Teng nodded and asked, ”I heard that your dad has gone into the mountains with other people?”
”Yes, three young people.” Bai Xiaocao said.
”Are they here to find this?” Wang Teng took out her cell phone and showed her the picture of the magic grass.
”Magic grass! Did you come here too?” Bai Xiaocao was surprised.
”You actually know it.” Wang Teng was surprised and nodded. ”Yes, I came for this purpose. It seems that the goals of those people are the same as mine. Do you know where to look?”
”I know, I know, my dad told me, but I haven't been there.” Bai Xiaocao said.
Wang Teng frowned and groaned: ”Do you have a map on the mountain?”
”No, we went into the mountain based on experience.” Bai Xiaocao shook his head.
Wang Teng suddenly had a headache. If he let himself into the mountain and searched aimlessly, the danger would not be so great, but it would definitely waste a lot of time.
At this time, Bai Xiaocao said, ”Although I haven't been there, but I know the way and can take you there.”
”Oh!” Wang Teng couldn't help but glance at the girl. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring herself into the mountain. Wang Teng had no reason to refuse, but he knew that the girl was not purely kind, so he asked calmly: ”You What are the requirements?”
”I need money, and I'm going to find my dad. They didn't come back one day and one night. It's impossible for my dad to go for so long. They must be in some accident.” Bai Xiaocao bit his lip.
It makes sense.
Wang Tengyi said, ”Yes, you can ask for a price.”
”Three ... five thousand!” Bai Xiaocao gritted his teeth, and the three thousand originally intended to be exported became five thousand, and then looked at Wang Teng a little bit shyly.
If she would n’t open a lion like this before, now the mountains are getting more and more dangerous. It ’s not a joke to enter the mountains, she also has to take some risks.
Moreover, the place where Magic Fire Grass is located is deeper. If it weren't for their family's urgent need of money, his father would not have promised those people who came to the mountains to help them find Magic Fire Grass.
Wang Teng thought that Bai Xiaocao would pay a high price, but he didn't expect that it was only five thousand, and he slightly hesitated.
Bai Xiaocao thought he felt it was too expensive, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, hesitantly: ”Otherwise three thousand can be.”
”Just five thousand. If you take me to the place before noon, I can give a little more.” Wang Teng waved his hand and said indifferently.
Bai Xiaocao's face showed a stun, and then he was pleasantly surprised: ”No problem, I know a short way, and I will definitely be there by noon.”
”Let's go now?” Wang Teng said.
”Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and get some tools.” Bai Xiaocao immediately got up and ran into the back room.
...
After a while, Wang Teng heard a faint conversation in the back room, one of which was a bit weak. If the non-military had a strong hearing, they would really not hear what they were talking about.
”Mom, I have something to go out with my friends. I asked Li Huan to bring you something for lunch.”
”Rest assured, you do n’t have to worry about me and do n’t bother you, even if you do your business, I can make something simple for myself.”
”So ... it's OK, I should be back at night.”
Bai Xiaocao was very fast. He changed into a smart costume within a few minutes, holding a hatchet in his hand, and walked out of the house carrying a basket on his back.
”Let's go.”
Wang Teng looked at her, got up and followed her out the door, and went out of the village.
In the field ridge outside the village, the previous middle-aged woman was busy. Bai Xiaocao yelled at her from a distance: ”Sister, I want to take him into the mountain, and my mother is at home. Please take care of it.”
”Well, good.” The middle-aged woman looked up and shouted, ”You must pay attention to safety when you enter the mountain.”
”OK.” Bai Xiaocao answered.
...
After crossing the road, Bai Xiaocao took Wang Teng and turned into a nearby path. Before walking, the two went up the mountain.
Chunhua Mountain still retains a relatively good wild form. After the baptism of the Force, it returns to the original, and there are more wild animals in it.
The surrounding trees are tall and lush, and there are many litter on the ground without much artificial traces.
It seems that the nearby villagers do not often enter the mountains.
However, Wang Teng has seen the virgin forests of other worlds. Compared with this, Chunhua Mountain is far worse, and there is nothing to be surprised about.
”Be careful, there are poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains.” Bai Xiaocao walked ahead, chopped down the bushes and thorns on both sides with a hatchet, and soon cleared a path for people to pass.
”Just pay attention to yourself.” Wang Teng said calmly.
Bai Xiaocao frowned, and sighed in his heart, but didn't say much, but focused on Wang Teng's side.
The two walked for more than an hour without encountering any accidents. Bai Xiaocao cleverly avoided some places that might be dangerous.
At this point, Bai Xiaocao stopped to take a rest, drank a saliva, and pointed to the left and said, ”Wait a moment after we pass here. My dad took me through before. Although it was a bit difficult, the journey was much shorter. I can definitely get there before noon. ”
”Well.” Wang Teng nodded, sat down on the stone next to him, and said, ”take a rest first.”
Bai Xiaocao sat down on another stone, took out something like dried meat, and asked, ”Would you like it?”
”I'm not hungry, you eat it.” Wang Teng shook his head.
Bai Xiaocao didn't force it, he ate it himself, and at the same time, curiously looked at Wang Teng.
Suddenly in her heart, she found that Wang Teng didn't look exhausted all the way, neither sweating nor panting, just like walking.
”Is this guy a martial artist?” Bai Xiaocai guessed secretly.
”Speaking of which, they all came to look for the magic grass, that magic grass must be very valuable, if only two can be picked.” Bai Xiaocao thought hopefully.
After ten minutes of rest, the two moved on.
”My dad, they don't seem to be here.” Bai Xiaocao said as he cleared the road.
”I felt a little strange just now when I went up the mountain. I didn't see any traces of man-made on the way.” Wang Teng said.
”They should have gone the other way.” Bai Xiaocao was a little puzzled and said, ”I haven't entered the mountain with my dad for a long time. Did he find another route?”
A flash of white light suddenly flashed in Wang Teng's mind, and Bai Xiaocao turned his head at this time, and both of them saw the same thought in the expressions of the other.
”Unless this road is dangerous !!”
”Be careful, your dad cannot give up this familiar road for no reason.” Wang Teng reminded.
Bai Xiaocao nodded, immediately raising his vigilance and being more cautious.
