Chapter 229 Growing on a cliff

For several days, until the carriage arrived at the foot of Fenghu Mountain, Shen Jintang and the eldest princess rode in the same carriage.

The relationship between the two has also skyrocketed after these few days of getting along.

"Your Highness, Fenghu Mountain has arrived." The coachman's voice came from outside on the carriage shaft.

Shen Jintang opened the car curtain and took a look outside. A red mountain covered with maple leaves towered into the clouds and appeared in front of him.

"Foster mother, let me help you get off the carriage." Shen Jintang stretched out his hand to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess gave her a gentle and loving look, put her hand on Shen Jintang's, and helped her get out of the carriage.

The coachman stopped the carriage in front of a quiet winding path, with a thick layer of red maple leaves scattered on the steps of the path.

It's like a specially laid carpet.

Qingdai and several of the eldest princess's maids were already standing aside waiting.

Qingdai held Shen Jintang's medicine box in her hand, while Bai Zhi held the basket and shovel and sickle that Shen Jintang wanted to collect medicine from.

There was a pavilion built on Fenghu Mountain. Shen Jintang sent the eldest princess to a pavilion to rest, while he led Qingdai and others to find the seven-leaf flower.

Fenghu Mountain is very big, and a thick layer of maple leaves has fallen on the ground.

Aesculus aesculata is a very rare medicinal material, and Shen Jintang is not yet sure whether it exists on this mountain.

Therefore, she could not accompany the eldest princess to enjoy the scenery here.

It's even worse to let the eldest princess accompany her to search for medicinal materials.

Now is the season for admiring maple leaves, and there are many people visiting Fenghu Mountain.

Many people were surprised or curious when they saw Shen Jintang.

Echinacea will definitely not grow in such a place where everyone can reach it.

Shen Jintang guessed that it should grow on the cliffs of inaccessible mountain tops.

Therefore, along the way, others were walking slowly in small groups, chatting while walking. Only Shen Jintang and his servants seemed to have come specially to climb the mountain.

In addition, the master and servants are all good-looking, attracting the attention of others.

"Girl, I can't survive anymore." Qingdai and Bai Zhi put their hands on their waists and panted heavily, sweating like rain: "This slave can't crawl anymore."

Shen Jintang turned back to look at them. Seeing that they were indeed very tired, he shifted his gaze to Bai Ji.

Although Bai Ji is a man, mountain climbing is also a test for him, and his condition at this time is not much better than Qingdai and Bai Zhi.

On the contrary, it was Poria, because she had practiced martial arts and was very strong, so she didn't show any signs of fatigue.

"There's still a long way to go before we reach the top of the mountain." Shen Jintang looked at Qingdai, Baiji and said, "Just wait here for me and Poria, don't run around."

Qingdai and Bai Zhi were too tired to move even half a step, and nodded panting.

Even if they continue to crawl like this, they are just dragging the girl down.

They all know about Fu Ling's skills, and they can rest assured that she protects the girl.

Bai Ji was a little hesitant. Although he couldn't climb anymore, he was a little worried that there was no man around the girl. What if he met a bad guy?

At this moment, Bai Ji hated his lack of physical strength, and he couldn't compare to a little girl like Fuling.

Shen Jintang saw Bai Ji's hesitation, and without giving him a chance to speak, he directly said, "That's it, Qingdai, give me the medicine box."

Then he looked at Bai Zhi: "Baizhi, please give the backpack to Poria."

The two of them responded obediently and handed them the medicine boxes and baskets in their hands.

When Shen Jintang has free time, she often practices Sanda fighting in her previous life as a physical exercise. Coupled with the fact that she takes Golden Lotus Liquid, her physical condition is very good.

Now only Fuling and she were climbing the mountain, they didn't have to wait for anyone in particular, and their speed became faster.

Fu Ling looked sideways at Shen Jintang as he climbed up the mountain easily, his heart not beating and he was out of breath, full of admiration: "Girl, I didn't expect you have such good physical strength."

Shen Jintang smiled, breathing evenly: "It's okay. Try to talk as little as possible when climbing mountains now, it's easy to get distracted."

When Poria heard this, she immediately closed her mouth.

She had experienced a gas attack before when she was practicing martial arts, and the feeling was too painful.

Even though the master and servant were very fast, it took more than two hours to climb to the top of the mountain.

Shen Jintang also felt a little sore in his legs.

She found a stone and sat down, and said to Fu Ling, "Let's rest for a while."

Fu Ling responded, and as soon as she sat down, she heard a growl from her stomach.

"There are cakes in the backpack, take it out and eat some to fill your stomach."

As soon as Shen Jintang finished speaking, a gray rabbit suddenly emerged from the grass.

Poria's eyes lit up when she saw this, she picked up the stones at her feet and threw them towards the rabbit.

Shen Jintang looked at the rabbit killed by Poria cocos and couldn't help but smile: "When I find the medicinal materials and go down the mountain, I will roast the rabbit for you."

Poria nodded happily, found a piece of grass to make a rope, and tied the rabbit around her waist.

Shen Jintang also felt that he was almost rested and stood up.

It's not a good thing to stay on the top of the mountain for too long. You don't know what you will encounter.

So it’s better to find the medicinal materials and go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Shen Jintang told Fuling about the appearance and characteristics of Aesculus aesculata, and then they started looking for it.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Jintang saw the seven-leafed flower on a cliff at the top of the mountain.

"Poria." Shen Jintang's voice was full of joy, and she said: "Bring us the rope we prepared in advance."

Fuling quickly took the rope out of the basket, ran over, looked at Shen Jintang and asked with a smile: "Girl, have you found the seven-leaf flower?"

Shen Jintang nodded and said: "I found it. It's on the cliff. I'll tie the rope around my waist. After a while, you will slowly put me down. When I have picked the seven-leafed flowers, you can put them down again. I'll just pull it up."

When Poria cocos heard this, she quickly shook her head and refused: "No, no, it's too dangerous. How can I let a girl pick it?"

"It's better to tie the rope around the slave's waist and let the slave pick it."

Fuling said, and started to untie the rabbit tied around her waist.

"Poria, there is a lot of skill in picking this seven-leafed flower. You don't know how to do it." Shen Jintang said with a smile: "And you are stronger than me. You can pull me up easily. I am very strong." Not as big as yours."

After hearing what Shen Jintang said, Fuling had no choice but to agree.

The main reason is because she is worried that she will damage the seven-leaf flower that the girl finally found, which will cause trouble.

Shen Jintang tied the rope firmly around his waist. Seeing this, Fuling quickly tied the other end of the rope to the tree, then wrapped the rope around herself, and then carefully tied Shen Jin Tang let it go.
