Chapter 283 By Luck
Ning Wuyang felt that Hua Yi was probably too impatient and had an illusion.
If Artemisia annua was so easy to find, it would have been found at the beginning. If it was not easy to find, then one would have to rely on tenacious perseverance to keep searching, and finally the divination results would be fulfilled.
"How about Master Hua, please do the math again, should we continue searching today?"
After he finished speaking half-jokingly and half-seriously, Hua Yi's five fingers on his right hand began to count.
Uh...it really doesn't matter.
"I'm not looking for you anymore."
Hua Yi didn't know whether the calculation results were not good, or he was too tired after searching for a day. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he simply asked everyone to go back and have a rest early. If you are free, come back tomorrow.
Everyone who had been searching in the weeds for a day without success breathed a sigh of relief and told each other one after another.
"I'm afraid we won't have time tomorrow. We have to go to the government to pay the grain tax tomorrow."
"If you can't find it tomorrow, we will come back the next day to help you find it, and we can call in more people by then."
"Young Master Ning, can we take the painting back to the village and let others see it? Have they encountered it when they went into the mountains to hunt or collect herbs?"
Although everyone couldn't come, during the search process, they learned that this herbal medicine is a special medicine for treating dysentery, and no one dared to be careless.
It all depends on how much power there is.
After all, in their view, Fifth Young Master Ning is a good person who helps people in need, and helping Fifth Young Master Ning is helping them to accumulate virtue.
They even came to the mountains to look for medicine. Of course they could do whatever they could with a little effort.
Hua Yi also wanted to give the drawing paper in his hand to these enthusiastic villagers.
But he only has one painting of this...
Hua Yi looked at Ning Wuyan with helpless eyes.
Ning Wuyang suddenly felt that since Hua Yi became acquainted with him, he had become dependent on him inexplicably.
What if we promised not to be involved in cause and effect? Does asking him not count as asking?
Having said that, finding Qinghao was also of great significance to him. He could only use his eyes to signal Hua Yi to stay calm, and turned his head to look behind him.
"Fifth brother, Miss Shen is a mile away. If you have any questions, I will ask them on your behalf."
A mile away?
Isn't it too far away?
Ning Wuxu remembered that there seemed to be a fork in the road there. When he raised his feet to walk, his calves cramped and he almost fell to his knees. Fortunately, Yunfei and Hua Yi gave him a hand, which prevented him from falling.
"Thank you very much. Then Brother Laosan will make this trip for me and ask Miss Shen if she can help me draw a few more pictures of Artemisia annua."
After receiving his prepared reply, Ning Wuyu nodded and left.
While Ning Wuyi went to ask questions, Hua Yi chose an untraveled mountain road and directed everyone to continue walking down the mountain in two groups.
"If we're lucky, maybe we can find Artemisia annua on our way back."
Faced with Hua Yi's hope, Ning Wushuang felt that it was somewhat unreliable.
Thinking that everyone's baskets were almost empty and they would all have to go down the mountain to gather at Zhangjiazhuang for dinner, he did not follow the two teams, but chose to rest where he was.
"I'll take a shortcut down the mountain in a moment. If you can't identify any of them, you can pull them out and put them in a basket. Either you can't find the artemisia, or it has grown into a large area. It has a strong reproductive ability, so you don't have to worry about it going bald."
The reason why he followed him everywhere before was because the mountain road was steep and difficult to travel back and forth, and it was also difficult to mark the area.
This mountainous area has a gentle slope and a wide view, but just relying on these people's casual search really depends on luck.
Ning Wuyang planned to let Shen Youchu go down the mountain to paint after his third brother came back from questioning, and then he, his third brother and Yun Fei would thoroughly search the mountain top while it was still dark.
"Ning Shixian, please be more careful and remember to call us if you are in danger."
Huayi spent a day searching today, and through trial and error, he already had a specific image of the herbal medicine Artemisia annua in his mind.
He knew that the distance Ning Wuyang walked today was several times longer than his own, so naturally he could not demand Ning Wuyang to go down the mountain with him.
"If Ning Shixian is too tired, take a shortcut down the mountain for a while. I will keep an eye on the rest."
Huayi takes responsibility very seriously.
At this time, Ning Wuyan was so tired that he no longer wanted to say another word. He nodded lightly. Seeing this, Yunfei quickly took out the kettle and handed it over, reminding: "The water in the mountains has not been boiled. Young Master, you can do whatever you want." Have a drink?"
The kettle brought in the basket was filled with cold water and had been finished long ago.
In this case, there is no way to consider whether the water is dry or not.
Ning Wuyan took the water and took a few sips. It was refreshing and pleasant, with a grass leaf in it.
A strange taste swirled on the tip of his tongue, and he opened his mouth and spit out the grass leaf into his hand.
It is said to be a root, but in fact it is just a needle-shaped residual leaf.
Yunfei saw weeds coming out of the kettle and was used to it.
It doesn't matter if there are grass and leaves in the mountain spring water. Sometimes there are animal hairs. Anyway, it is clean when the water flows through it.
"Sir, if you think this water is not clean, I will get you a new pot of water and rinse away all the weeds and debris. However, I have to wait for the third master to come before I go."
"Hmm..."
Ning Wuyan held water in his mouth, shook his head like a rattle, pointed at the blade of grass he picked out, spit out the strange-tasting water that he had not swallowed, and asked urgently: "Where did you get this water from?"
"Right over there."
Yunfei pointed in the direction that Ning Wuyu had just walked.
"I just went to a mountain spring with a stone wall with Mei Xiang. This grass must have washed down from the mountain when I wasn't paying attention. Master, isn't this grass poisonous? Why are you laughing so hard that you can't even see your eyes? .”
Silly boy!
This is not a poisonous weed!
Ning Wuyang put the blade of grass under his nose, sniffed it vigorously, and said with great certainty: "This grass is most likely the wild wormwood we have been looking for all day. Come on, take me there...I'll go!"
Just as he was about to stand up, his ankle cramped, and he sat back down again, almost stretching his injured arm.
Yun Fei was startled, and quickly stretched out his hand to help him up. He glanced at the direction where he had just received the spring water, with a troubled expression on his face.
"Sir, that area is in the direction of the deep mountains. According to our search of the mountain today, it will take at least three days to find that water source and flow it up. It is convenient for me and Mei Xiang to walk. It may be dark if you take the master with you. The source of the spring water cannot be found.”
These words made Ning Wuhuang feel like he was being looked down upon.
But I have to say that this is the truth.
Not to mention that when Ning Wuyan was not injured, his skills were not as good as Yunfei's, and he was not as capable of escaping minor injuries like Ti Yunzong's, but now that he was injured, he was completely like a dragster.
"Hurry up and help me find Miss Shen first, and then you and Mei Xiang will go for a run and look along the water source. You will definitely find it!"
This thing can fall into the water and be put into the kettle, which means it grows on the edge of the water, and there are a lot of them, otherwise it will not be impacted by the water flow and leave a lot of residual leaves.
Since his legs and feet were numb, Ning Wushan didn't dare to do anything, and let Yunfei help him walk in Ning Wuzhen's direction.
After walking less than a hundred meters, I saw Shen Youchu trotting over from a fork in the road.
She was covering her mouth and nose with her left hand, and her right hand was holding a needle-shaped green grass that was almost as tall as her in a silk handkerchief. After seeing him, she shook it excitedly.
Chapter completed!
