"What time is it now?" At this time, Xue Fu seemed to have thought of something, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and took a look.
Unexpectedly, after just one glance, her face turned extremely pale.
"What? It's half past three in the afternoon?"
"Junior sister, what's wrong?" Xiao Hong asked in a low voice.
"Brother, have you forgotten? The captain asked us to collect the medicines on the medicine list before 4 o'clock. Now there is only half an hour left. We haven't even collected a single Tongqing medicine root! This is definitely over.
The mission is over! If we don’t complete the mission on time and delay the Medicine Ceremony, we will be completely doomed!" Xue Fu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and almost burst into tears.
"Don't worry! Tongqing medicinal root is easy to find! It's not difficult to collect, half an hour is enough."
Xiao Hong glanced around, suddenly pushed aside the bushes in front of him, and ran forward lightly.
"Senior brother, where are you going?" Xue Fu hurriedly followed.
But I saw Xiao Hong jogging for a while and came to a low-lying swamp area.
There are many special vegetation around the swamp, and the roots of these vegetation are the Tongqing medicinal roots that the two of them need!
"Great, there should be enough for fifteen Tongqing medicinal roots here!"
I'm afraid that it will be extremely difficult to pick. Brother, we won't be able to finish picking in half an hour. This picking is too difficult and the time will definitely be overdue. We...we are finished...the superiors will definitely punish us severely. We are finished.
..”
Thinking of the torture in the village, Xue Fu was frightened and her body started to tremble.
However, Xiao Hong smiled softly.
"Junior sister, how difficult is this picking?"
"Huh?" Xue Fu looked at him in astonishment.
But Xiao Hong stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and crouched down to pick.
His techniques were very skillful and his eyes were precise. He immediately found the Tongqing medicinal roots buried deep in the mud and picked up one of them.
The movements are smooth and flowing, which is pleasing to the eye.
In just four or five minutes, five Tongqing medicinal roots were taken...
"What?"
Xue Fu was stunned.
Xiao Hong didn't stop and picked it all in one go.
A quarter of an hour later, he returned holding fifteen Tongqing medicinal roots.
"Junior sister, let's go back."
"Ah? Okay... ok..." Xue Fu came to her senses, but her eyes widened: "Brother, you are so amazing..."
"What's so great about this?"
"No...Senior brother, how come I didn't know that your picking skills are so good? Collecting herbs is also a science. Oh my god, senior brother, you are so secretive..."
Xue Fu praised.
She has known Xiao Hong for a long time. In her opinion, Xiao Hong has no merits, and his behavior sometimes gives her a dirty feeling. But at this moment, somehow, this Xiao Hong
Hong made her a little confused.
Is this really the Senior Brother Xiao that I know?
She suddenly found that she was no longer as disgusted with this senior brother as before...
"Go back."
"Okay, okay, senior brother, wait for me!"
Xue Fu shouted hurriedly.
By the time the two returned to their previous dispersion point, most of the people from Yaowang Village who had gone out to collect herbs had returned.
The two of them belong to the slowest team.
"Xiao Hong, Xue Fu, why are you so slow?"
The big man from before came over unhappily, took away the Tongqing medicinal root from Xiao Hong's hand, and examined it.
Two other men of the same age came closer, with playful and obscene smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Senior Brother Xiao, it seems that you have captured Junior Sister Xue? It's amazing! How about it! With Junior Sister Xue's figure, the taste must be very strong, right??" One of them bumped Xiao Hong with his elbow, smiling.
