Chapter 22: Splashing Dirty Water

Before five o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen took a pot of sweet wine and several kilograms of air-dried beef, and rowed alone into the mountains.

There are only a few morning stars, the waning moon hangs slantingly in the sky, the autumn wind is blowing, making the dry grass on the stream bank rustle, and occasionally a few owl calls can be heard from the dark woods in the distance, which is heart-stopping.

Fortunately, the white fish belly was already faintly visible in the east. At the speed of rowing, it was completely bright when we arrived at the mooring bay an hour later.

Recently, the hunting battlefield has been moved further into the mountains, and beasts that can pose a threat to Ye Congwen have been attracted. After all, carnivores also make a living by hunting animals in a sense, but they are not humans!

Therefore, this section of the road is quite safe in theory. After Ye Congwen took the two-color ginseng, his strength has changed significantly, his explosive power is stronger, and his endurance is unprecedentedly long-lasting. He shakes the oars with all his strength and goes against the current.

, often four or five hours without feeling tired at all.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen had already rushed to a treasure mountain surrounded by mountains and water. It was more than a thousand meters high. The mountain was lush and lush with ancient trees. However, the mountain was relatively steep. Fortunately, there were very few mountains with such a steep slope.

Wild beasts are out and about, so you don’t have to worry about your own safety.

Ye Congwen walked up the mountain with a small basket on his back, a small hoe, an iron measuring ruler, and an iron skewer. The main purpose of his visit today was to explore the location where the treasure might be, and mark it for digging tomorrow.

Digging for treasure medicine is a laborious and time-consuming job. You must first use an iron skewer to dig a hole to check how deep the soil is underneath to see if there is enough space for the treasure medicine to grow. It is impossible to grow two feet of soil from one foot thick soil.

Here comes the medicine.

If the soil thickness reaches the standard, you have to use a measuring tape to measure the nutrient content of the soil. It is naturally difficult to grow high-quality ginseng in areas with poor soil.

Ye Congwen followed the theoretical knowledge in the burial scriptures combined with the old patriarch's years of digging holes, and closely focused on the eight-character scripture "Moist but not lustrous, cut fat and cut jade" to determine whether there is a piece of soil.

There is no need to waste time in a poor land with poor soil that is "as dry as millet and as wet as cut meat".

If these two conditions are met, Ye Congwen will use a hoe to dig a deep trench where he judges the treasure is most likely to exist. If he is lucky, he may find two-color soil, and he can dig out two-color ginseng by following the clues.

.

If you don't have this luck, then sorry, the amount of work will be huge, and the entire land will have to be dug like a plow. Sometimes Ye Congwen also wonders if he can also get a pioneer ox to plow a few fields.

Next, it will be nice to follow happily and pick up the treasure...

You have to row your boat and leave before three o'clock in the afternoon. You must reach the mooring bay before dark, otherwise your life will be in danger.

Excluding the time spent going up and down the mountain, the real time left for him to find medicine was only five hours. Ye Congwen ate several kilograms of beef jerky, drank half a bottle of sweet wine, quickly searched for nine pieces of treasure land, and made

After marking the mark, I inserted a wooden stick tied with a red rope. I trotted all the way back to the boat, cranked up the oars and ran back quickly.

After repeated attempts three or four times, it was not until the seventh day that I finally dug out a portion of two-color ginseng. It was still a two-color ginseng that was as thick as a pair of arms and weighed five kilograms.

But what is annoying is that this two-color ginseng does not have much effect on the body. At first, I thought it was too small and the effect was not obvious. The next day, I cut two kilograms and mixed it with snow chicken and stewed it into a pot of soup.

Eating it still didn't have much effect, and I couldn't realize my wish to break the stone.

"Could it be that my body

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Has your body adapted to the overbearing power of bicolor ginseng? And your physique has evolved to the limit that bicolor ginseng can improve?

It seems like I’ll focus on looking for tricolor ginseng next time!”

This girl, on the other hand, drank the cheap pigeon pea sprouts. After only eight or nine times, her whole body became radiant and her skin was crystal clear. Before, her skin was dull and yellow, and her energy was listless. Even her food intake increased greatly.

My weight has returned to its previous state.

"Could it be said that this two-color ginseng is a panacea for men to become strong and for women to be beautiful?"

Ye Congwen was puzzled. But it was not without its benefits. Since the illness of pigeon pea was cured, his food intake increased greatly and he no longer grinded his teeth even when sleeping.

He was so kind to Ye Congwen that he was in a state of admiration. He would make different soups and stir-fries every now and then, do all the laundry and sweep the floor, beat his back and rub his waist and be on call, which made Ye Congwen feel like a master.

In the next half month, Ye Congwen, apart from going to the county town with others to sell prey once, was still focused on finding tricolor ginseng.

Finally one day I found some soil of three colors on a treasure mountain 150 miles away from my home, and it was very likely that there were three colors of ginseng growing in it!

However, the Nine Pieces of Treasure Land occupies an extremely wide area. Ye Congwen was afraid that if he dug up the soil and allowed some gophers to get there first, he would regret it. In addition, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that the time would not allow him to pick at will.

After picking up some wild fruits, we rowed home.

There was no delay this time. It was not even dark when we returned to the village entrance, but the spot where we moored the boat was occupied by a colorful boat. Just as I was wondering what kind of strange guests had come to the Iron Tower Village, I heard the onlookers shouting loudly.

road:

"Old patriarch, Xiao Congwen is back!"

The sound was like a loud bell, and the people inside the boat tent came out one after another.

The tall old patriarch rushed out first, followed closely by a group of men in black attire, all of them with strong backs and strong waists, looking at the wolves as eagles, forming a herringbone to protect a woman.

That woman had slender shoulders, slim waist, and tall figure. Ye Congwen felt like he was facing a powerful enemy. He was extremely surprised and said:

"The masked monster finally came to the door, but why is he so close to Douzha, as if he has been best friends for many years?"

Before she had time to think too much, the tall woman turned to look at him. Her fair oval face was slightly pale, her hair was tied up in a bun casually, her shawl hair hung lazily around her waist, her white forehead could be broken by blows, and her simple and elegant clothes

He seems approachable, but his expression is arrogant and cold, which makes people intimidated.

Without any makeup, no makeup, no floor-length skirt, no high heels, she was in sharp contrast to the dressed-up pigeon sprouts beside her.

"What are you doing standing around stupidly when you are little Congwen? Come here and say hello!"

Ye Wudi was in a good mood. He drank a few more barrels of rice wine on the boat and had a very lively chat with the girl.

"Chief Ye, aren't you sincerely trying to embarrass me? The grace of saving my life is as good as reincarnation. If others knew about it, they would think that I, Yu Yueyue, don't have any tutoring at all."

A smile makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze. He walked up to Ye Congwen with a smile as bright as a flower and said softly:

"Brother Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Congwen was sure that this woman was hiding a knife in her smile and she must not be holding back anything good. Some time ago, she had a high fever and she still wanted to kill me. Now,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Did you change your gender after you came back to life?

Have you ever seen a big bad wolf making friends with cows and sheep?

"I heard that you are seriously ill. It's windy outside. If you're not in good health, don't go out and wander around. What if the rhinoceros elephants chase you and trample you again?"

Ye Congwen climbed onto the two- to three-meter-high boat with a little help, pretending to be very concerned and asking for help, and patted the mud on Yu Yueyue's shoulder.

The movement was so fast that even the dozen guards did not react.

Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's pair of black hands constantly wiping his new clothes. He was using my clothes as a rag. He subconsciously took a step back and heard him mention the rhino-horned elephant again, and his smile became less natural.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Yu and my first name is Yueyue. Happy Yue. Brother Ye, I heard everyone calls you Congwen. Is your full name Ye Congwen?"

"Don't be so formal. I'm a wild boy. Just call me Ye Congwen. Don't call me little brother. I'm still young. I'm only fifteen years old. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your brother. By the way.

, my sister is in her twenties this year?"

Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid! This black boy definitely did it on purpose! Yu Yueyue cursed in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, I would have asked my third uncle to deal with you!

"Brother Congwen, how could you ask such a question?"

Mudouya came in a snow-white dress, took Ye Congwen's arm and gently scolded:

"Sister Yueyue is only eighteen years old this year, not as old as you think."

"Eighteen is still young, even the children in our village can walk! Elders are respected, and the etiquette of ranking in the seniority should still be observed."

Ye Congwen made a long bow to Yu Yueyue and said politely:

"Sister Yu, welcome to Tieta Village. I wonder why you came all the way to find me?"

"Xiao Congwen, don't mess around. Xiao Yu came to Tieta Village with her third uncle to buy game!"

Ye Wudi was talking to a middle-aged man with a long beard. When he saw Ye Congwen's black hands, he was slapping the girl randomly. It was really rude and rude, so he scolded:

"I'm going to criticize you. It has always been a fine tradition of our Tieta Village to do good deeds without leaving a name. How can you pretend to be famous and leave your name behind?

He also told Xiao Yu that if I want to repay you, I will bring grain, oil and fine rice wine to Tieta Village to find you. This is a shameless act. You will be banned for a month and you will not be allowed to go anywhere except Tieta Village this month!

Go and wash your dirty hands, put away the habit of arm-in-arms between your brothers and sisters, and don’t scare the distinguished guests!”

Ye Congwen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Yu Yueyue in disbelief, thinking that this woman is indeed not a kind person, when did I say this? She probably planned it long ago when she started to throw dirty water on me to ruin my image.

"Little brother Congwen, I really didn't mean to say this. If I had known that your upbringing was so strict, it would have caused you to be punished. I wouldn't have said these words to death. You wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Ye Congwen looked at the innocent-looking girl in front of him and was about to say a few words of defense when he heard the woman complain quietly:

"You tore my skirt and threw me into the stinking ditch. I didn't care, either! Everyone says the wrong thing and does the wrong thing sometimes! Don't you think so?"
