Chapter 1261: Discovery in the Mountains (Seeking Monthly Pass)
In the early morning, Qianshan woke up, and the morning clouds came out of Xiu. In the green sky, milky white clouds floated on the mountainside, like a fairy dancing gently.
Everywhere you see are towering peaks and precipitous cliffs. The mountains are covered with pines, firs, moso bamboos and well-known and unknown miscellaneous trees, one after another, one clump after another, lush and green, covering the ground and sky, stretching from the foothills to
Go to the top of the mountain.
"The little girl picking mushrooms carried a big bamboo basket on her back and walked through the forests and hills with her bare feet in the early morning. She picked the most mushrooms, as numerous as the stars. The mushrooms she picked were the biggest, as big as the little umbrella.
Fill the basket---!"
The cheerful singing suddenly stopped. Li Qi was seen carrying a bamboo basket and looking at the large mountain forest in the distance. He couldn't help but lamented, "Is there any mistake? This---is this a place where people go?"
There were several people standing beside him, namely Liu Yunxi, Ma Qiao, Huo Nanxi, and Hu Beiqing. Since Li Qi did not want to reveal his whereabouts, they took a carriage out before dawn.
At first they thought the ballad Li Qi sang was very funny, but as they listened to it, they found it very interesting, especially Liu Yunxi, who even started humming along. Suddenly, they heard Li Qi stop singing halfway through, and suddenly
Startled, he looked up and understood immediately, humming softly: "A man of great dignity is actually afraid of even the people in this small mountain and forest."
A hill? Dare I ask where it is smaller? At least it is bigger than the two hills on your chest. Li Qi defended: "What do you know? It's not that I'm afraid, but it's hard for me to imagine that Sister Qingzhao was alone.
How one person can pick yamabana flowers from here is really admirable."
Liu Yunxi was stunned when she heard this. She was really fooled by him. She couldn't help but nodded and said: "This is indeed very difficult for a weak woman like Mrs. Zhao."
"Isn't that right?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
When he came to the foot of the mountain, Liu Yunxi took out a medicine bottle from his arms, opened the lid, and saw that there was something in the form of ointment inside, and said: "Apply it on it?"
Li Qi warned: "What is this?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Do you like to paint or not?"
Huo Nancy explained: "Golden Knife Kitchen King, this is a plaster specially prepared by Shi Niang. Applying this medicine on shoes and socks can prevent poisonous snakes and scorpions."
Liu Yunxi said: "But there are some special things that cannot be prevented." She has never been very good at hiding her shortcomings, including her products.
So awesome? Li Qi quickly took it over and said, "Pa, of course! This is Shi Niang's wish after all!" As he spoke, he had already begun to paint, and then raised his head and asked, "Shi Niang, let's do it!"
How about starting a business?”
"Don't do it."
"You don't have to rush to reject me. It doesn't hurt to listen."
"No matter what kind of business it is, I will never cooperate with you."
"Well...."
Li Qi looked embarrassed and muttered to himself, you are really ignorant. Anyone who wants to cooperate with me in this world can circle the earth three times. He said in a very human way: "Who cares?"
With that said, he handed the medicine bottle to Ma Qiao.
"Bu Shuai, what do you mean?"
Ma Qiao glanced at it lightly, did not reach out to pick it up, and said slightly unhappy.
Hey. Are you here to bully me? Li Qidao: "I'll apply it to you."
Ma Qiao snorted and said arrogantly: "In this mountain, only animals are afraid of me. There are no animals that scare me. Just snakes, insects, rats, and ants, how can they harm me? You should keep these for yourselves."
I would also like to catch a big insect and go back to relieve my boredom."
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Li Qi's forehead and said: "You are trying to scare me, right?"
Ma Qiao asked in astonishment: "How do you say this?"
I---I'm talking about your sister! Li Qi said angrily: "If your words are true, I don't know if the big insect is finished. You must be finished. You are such a crow's mouth. I said Mr. Ma, if you want to die,
Please don’t drag me along, okay?”
Ma Qiao finally understood and said: "Who said I want to die? I haven't married my junior sister yet. Bu Shuai, if you don't believe me, I will go alone."
This has nothing to do with Meimei! Oh my god! Li Qi snorted: "Don't even think about it, just follow it later."
Liu Yunxi said calmly: "Your legs are shaking like this, can you still walk?"
"Who---who is shaking."
"It's best if you're not shaking. Let's go quickly."
After stopping for a while, the four of them headed towards the mountain forest in the distance.
Li Qi didn't feel scared at first, but when he said this after passing Ma Qiao, he felt a little guilty. If he really met a tiger, it would be such an unjust death. Although he knew that Ma Qiao was powerful, he didn't know what Ma Qiao could do.
He was still skeptical about picking a tiger, so he quickly picked a good seat, with Ma Qiao and Liu Yunxi in front, and Huo Nanxi and Hu Beiqing in the back, so that he could feel a little more at ease.
To be honest, although Li Qi has climbed many famous mountains in later generations and has also been to the mountains in search of delicious food, future generations are future generations, and the present is the present. Although they are all mountains, they are not the same. The ancient mountains
But it's very, very difficult to walk, and there are all kinds of beasts inside.
As soon as they entered the mountainous area, Li Qi almost fell down. Fortunately, Ma Qiao had quick eyesight and quick hands to help Li Qi, but there was a look of disdain on his face, as if to say, the climb hasn't even started yet, and you are like this,
Go to the back, why don't I have to carry you on my back?
Not to mention, Liu Yunxi, Ma Qiao, Huo Nanxi, and Hu Beiqing are all good at mountain climbing. The steep hillside would have become as smooth as walking on the ground under their feet. If they didn't worry about Li Qi, a mountain climber
The disabled person has long gone away.
Liu Yunxi also picked a lot of herbs along the way, because now that spring is already halfway through, the grass and trees are very lush, and many herbs have emerged. It can be regarded as a lot of harvest along the way.
Li Qi surprisingly did not stop Liu Yunxi from using public affairs for personal gain, because he was worried that if someone was really causing trouble in Zhao Mingcheng's case, then they would go straight to the mountain col, which would probably alert the snake, and Liu Yunxi's picking of herbs could serve as a good cover.
As for him and Ma Qiao, he still didn't believe that he could meet acquaintances here. If that was the case, he would admit it.
After walking for about two hours, Li Qi was already out of breath. He said: "It's not yet... we haven't arrived yet."
Ma Qiao looked around and said: "We are almost at the top of the mountain. According to the marks, we must at least cross this mountain."
"No. Isn't there a shortcut?"
Li Qi was so depressed that he almost cried.
Liu Yunxi said contemptuously: "It's really useless. It won't work if you take these two steps."
Li Qi got angry and said, "You can say it's useless, but you can't say I'm incompetent."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Who--who said I can't walk? I just want to ask if there is a shortcut. Just walk, who is afraid of whom?" Li Qi, a big man, can never bow to a woman, although he
He knew clearly that he was no match for Liu Yunxi when it came to hiking in the mountains, but this was a time when a man's dignity was endangered. Based on this alone, he had to make a fool of himself.
There was no way around it. Li Qi gritted his teeth and followed Liu Yunxi and the others over the mountain. Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning. According to the mark, they had to go down a very steep road from the east side of the mountain. This path was very hidden.
, if there is no mark, it really takes some effort to find it.
A few people walked down this path. There was a thick white mist at the bottom of the mountain, and they had to stop and go on Maqiao. It took a lot of effort to find the marks left by Nanbo Tu and the others. Otherwise, they would have to get lost.
With the help of the markers, they finally passed through the white fog area, and then passed through a long and narrow valley. Suddenly, they discovered that there was a unique cave inside, with wild flowers everywhere and charming scenery.
Li Qi breathed out heavily, looked at the mountain col in front of him, and said, "This should be the mountain col that Sister Qingzhao pointed to. It's really hard to imagine how she got here. She must have suffered a lot."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of pity.
Liu Yunxi looked around and said, "That's it."
Li Qi asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Although this mountain valley is relatively low-lying, it is quite open on both sides. The sun shines just right here. It is very possible to find mountain tomato flowers here."
Li Qidao: "Shi Niang, don't you know those flowers are tomato flowers?"
Liu Yunxi said: "Lama flowers generally bloom in summer and autumn."
Li Qi snorted and said, "I'm not very familiar with this tomato flower, so it all depends on you."
Liu Yunxi did not answer, and walked up the hillside with Huo Nanxi and Hu Beiqing. Li Qi knew that going by himself would only disturb Liu Yunxi, so he simply sat at the foot of the slope and waited for news.
After a while, Liu Yunxi suddenly frowned and said, "It's really strange."
Li Qi was startled for a moment, quickly got up, ran up and said, "What did you find?"
Liu Yunxi said: "There are indeed some seedlings of tomato flowers here."
Li Qi said puzzledly: "That's right. Sister Qingzhao said that she picked the mountain tomato flowers here, and you also said that this place is suitable for the growth of mountain tomato flowers."
Liu Yunxi shook his head and said: "It's not surprising that there are mountain tomato flowers here. What I'm saying is that someone has planted mountain tomato flowers here."
"What?"
Li Qi was shocked.
Liu Yunxi ignored him, took out a small shovel, and started digging. When she dug a small hole about a foot deep, she squatted down, pressed it with her hands, grabbed another handful of soil, nodded and said
: "That's true. Judging from the pores and smell of the soil, someone must have planted some kind of flowers, plants and trees here in the past. And from the distribution of these sedge seedlings, I'm sure there must be sedge flowers planted here. Only
However, it has been a long time, and without careful observation, it is difficult to tell that these tomato flowers have now become wild. It seems that it was at least two or three years ago."
Li Qi frowned deeply. Could this be a coincidence? Someone had planted yamabana flowers here, and the woodcutter knew about it. Sister Qingzhao, who was looking for yamabana flowers, met her. This is a bit too much.
Well. But if not, then ---. His eyes opened suddenly, and then he shook his head, this is impossible. He asked: "Shi Niang, what are the common reasons for planting yamabana flowers?"
"Of course it is used as a medicinal material, but the effect of yamabana flowers is very obvious, that is, it can make people fall asleep and relieve pain. People who grow yamabana flowers either do it to prepare painkillers or Mongolian sweat medicine."
Li Qi became thoughtful after hearing this.
After a while, Liu Yunxi stood up and said, "There's only so much I can help."
Li Qi was slightly startled and said: "You have helped me a lot. This can at least confirm my thoughts. There may be something fishy about this matter. Thank you very much."
"You don't need to thank me, I'm not here for you."
After learning the news, Li Qi felt that his trip was well worth it. He looked around again and then went back.
When we returned to the villa, it was almost evening, but before I could warm my buttocks, Ma Qiao walked in and said, "Commander Bu, Nan Bo Tu is here."
What did he come for? Did he find something? Li Qi hurriedly said: "Let him wait for me at the same place."
After a while, Li Qi came to the library.
As soon as he came in, Nan Botu came over quickly and said, "Sir, something serious has happened."
Li Qi felt a chill in his heart and said, "What happened?"
Nan Botu said: "Didn't Bu Shuai arrange for someone to monitor the relative named Jia behind the Zhao family courtyard two days ago?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Nan Botu said: "But just today, the people below suddenly came to report to me that the two people we sent have disappeared."
