Chapter 278: 30 Miles
While having breakfast the next day, Li Lanzhen told her parents and Han Minghai about her plan to go to Dongshan Mountain.
After saying hello to Han Shunde, he took Silver Fox to Dongshan.
Although everyone knew that Silver Fox was a martial arts expert, they still reminded Li Lanzhen to be careful and come back early.
Li Lanzhen brought Silver Fox to Dongshan Medicine Valley.
The moment you step into Dongshan Medicine Valley.
The silver fox smelled a strong medicinal fragrance!
He took a deep breath.
"Aunt, you are such a lucky person!"
Li Lanzhen also took a deep breath and said with a laugh.
"Don't flatter me, come and see if there is the medicine you need in this medicine valley.
Now that we have found the necessary herbs, let’s quickly detoxify the prince.
The prince is young and has been poisoned for a long time, so I am afraid it will harm his health."
Li Lanzhen said this while thinking in her heart, if something happens to the prince with her, either the poison cannot be removed or he may die.
I guess the emperor won't forgive me, even if he knows that the prince's poisoning has nothing to do with me.
However, he had to vent the anger in his heart caused by the pain of losing his child.
"I see, Auntie. I think this Medicine Valley is so big, there should be some!"
While walking, Silver Fox saw many rare medicinal herbs on the market.
Even the medicinal materials that can be found on the market are of very high age and excellent quality here.
As the two walked forward, Silver Fox found the medicinal herbs they needed, picked them quickly, and then gave them to Li Lanzhen to put into the space.
This ensures freshness without losing efficacy.
"Silver Fox, if you see any medicinal herbs that are not in the secret medicinal field, pick a few and plant them in the medicinal field."
Silver Fox straightened up and nodded.
"Aunt, among the herbs I just gave you, there are many that are not available in the secret medicinal fields. I thought so too."
As the two of them observed and picked the fruits, Li Lanzhen discovered that the further north they went in the medicinal valley, the wider it became.
When they came in just now, the span of the medicine valley was relatively narrow. Now it looks like a gourd.
"Silver Fox, have you noticed that this medicinal herb looks like a big-bellied gourd? When we came in from the cave, it was a gourd mouth, which was quite narrow.
You see, the distance from here to there in Medicine Valley has increased several times.”
Silver Fox also noticed it and gave a reply.
"Yes, auntie, I have found it. It looks like a gourd. Let's go further north. We can't see the end yet."
The two men walked and watched, and the silver fox bent down from time to time to pick medicinal herbs.
Li Lanzhen was also collecting medicinal herbs.
She only collected precious medicinal herbs that she knew about, as well as some that she didn't know about but looked precious.
So far, the terrain of this medicine valley has been relatively flat, and the temperature here is similar to that in the Peach Blossom Spring.
There are also many herbs whose branches and leaves have turned yellow, missing the best time for harvesting and processing.
The silver fox clicked his tongue, expressing his regret.
“Auntie, you can bring people in here to pick the fruits.
Taking the herbs out of Taohuayuan and selling them to pharmacies can also bring in a considerable income.”
Li Lanzhen nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with everyone before making a decision.
"Yes, auntie, we do need to discuss it. For such a large medicine valley, if all the herbs are exchanged for silver, the amount will be considerable.
here……"
Having said that, Silver Fox looked at Li Lanzhen.
"Aunt, I suggest you buy a group of servants to take care of this medicine valley. The servants you buy must sign a life and death contract with them."
Li Lanzhen looked at his solemn expression and understood what he was saying.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts!
Now it seems that these people in Taohuayuan are all good people, but people’s hearts are hidden. Faced with such a large amount of wealth, if anyone has bad intentions, it will be hard to guard against.
What's more, it is now implicated with the imperial court.
If someone with ulterior motives discovered this place, they would inevitably use some dirty means to bribe the people in Peach Blossom Spring and do some unscrupulous things!
"I know, I'll think about it."
Li Lanzhen couldn't say what she felt in her mind about buying servants. She didn't resist, but she couldn't accept it happily either.
At this time, it was obvious that the terrain of the Medicine Valley began to narrow.
"Aunt, did you notice? This place has become narrow again, but it's much wider than when we first entered."
Li Lanzhen urged Silver Fox.
"Let's go quickly and take a look ahead.
If things go as expected, the road should be wider after this narrow area.
This is the complete gourd shape.”
Li Lanzhen smiled and took the lead to walk to the front. She wanted to confirm her guess as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after they passed through this narrow medicinal field, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
It still seems endless, but its width has increased a lot.
Li Lanzhen laughed loudly, "Silver Fox, this is indeed in the shape of a gourd.
Let's just call this medicine valley "Hulu".
This way, even if others hear it, they won’t think that this is a medicinal valley full of various herbs.”
"Yes, Auntie, it is a good idea indeed. 'Hulu Valley' is a good name."
It was after noon when they finally reached the end.
Opposite here is a cliff that rises into the clouds, and the Medicine Valley forms a large mountain bay here.
"Silver Fox, look!"
Li Lanzhen put one hand on her waist and pointed to the bend in front of her with the other.
“Isn’t it like the round base of a gourd?
This is truly a gourd valley."
“Yes, the entire Medicine Valley is a huge gourd.
Auntie, let’s eat something here. You must be hungry.
I just saw some pheasants and rabbits in this valley. I'll go catch two and we'll roast them."
Li Lanzhen raised her hand and said, "Okay, go ahead. The pheasants and rabbits here are all raised on herbs and should taste good. I'm looking forward to it."
When the silver fox came back with two pheasants and a rabbit.
Li Lanzhen has already lit a bonfire.
There were branches with wild vegetable cakes strung on them next to the fire.
Li Lanzhen saw the pheasants and rabbits that Silver Fox had already packed up.
"Silver Fox, is there any water around here? I see you've washed yourself clean?"
"Yes, over there, near the mountain wall, there is a small stream. The water is not strong, but very clear."
Li Lanzhen took out barbecue ingredients and salt from the space and handed them to Silver Fox.
She filled a clay pot with spiritual spring water from the space and placed it on the fire to slowly boil it.
Looking at the burning red ashes, Li Lanzhen took out three goose eggs, wrapped them in mud, and threw them into the ashes to burn.
In two quarters of an hour, the roasted chicken and rabbit with the aroma of medicine were cooked.
Li Lanzhen sniffed hard, "As expected of a girl who grew up eating medicinal herbs, it smells like wild ginseng. Really fragrant!"
After eating a pheasant, a rabbit leg and a wild vegetable pancake, Li Lanzhen was full.
The rest went into the silver fox's stomach.
Li Lanzhen took out a wooden barrel filled with river water from the space and put out the fire.
Silver Fox shoveled dirt to cover the ashes.
Li Lanzhen glanced at the Medicine Valley and said, "Silver Fox, this Medicine Valley is about 30 miles long, right?"
"Yes, auntie, this medicine valley is more than thirty miles long."
