Chapter 176 Herb Valley
Where the three strong lights shine, there is lush greenery and full of medicinal herbs.
The unique aroma of herbs is strong and makes people feel instantly awake.
Han Mingjiang opened his mouth like a fool and roared happily.
"Mother! Mother! This, this, this, is this a herb valley? Who planted this? Did he raise a big snake just to watch over these herbs?"
Li Lanzhen did not answer the series of questions, as she also had doubts in her mind.
Xue Lao Hu was also very happy in his heart, but his face did not show much excitement.
A pair of sharp eyes, observing the surroundings.
Such a big medicine valley, and the fluorescent stone in the cave in front, is guarded by only one snake. This shouldn’t be possible!
However, after looking for a long time, he found no signs of any other ferocious beasts around.
Li Lanzhen walked forward for a distance with a flashlight.
He said to the two of them, “I’m afraid someone has planted these herbs specifically. Look, they are all the same type in patches.
It’s just that no one has taken care of this place for many years, and the herbs have grown wild.”
They walked forward for a distance and found that there were many kinds of herbs here, from the most common ones, such as Xanthium sibiricum, honeysuckle, daisy, etc., to the several ginseng fields they saw so far.
Li Lanzhen was puzzled. The temperature, humidity and growth environment required for the growth of herbs are all different.
Why can they grow so well here?
As they walked inside, Li Lanzhen thought about these questions.
Xue Lao Hu has always been responsible for the surrounding security issues.
But he never found any big beast.
There are quite a few pheasants and rabbits in the valley.
The meat of pheasants and rabbits that have eaten this valley full of medicinal herbs must be very unique.
When the time comes, I can catch some and take them back to supplement my body.
They walked slowly about two miles inside, but still could not see the end of the medicine valley.
Li Lanzhen stood and looked around.
There are high cliffs on three sides, and it is too dark to see clearly in the night.
She said.
“The entrance to this herbal valley is probably not here, it should be on the opposite side or on the mountain on the left.
Once we settle down, we will investigate again. If there is still an entrance here, it will be a threat to us.
Because without knowing it, some people came in from there."
Xue Lao Hu agreed with Li Lanzhen's guess.
"Indeed, we should find a time to come here and see where the entrance is. How big is this valley?
Are the whole valley planted with herbs?
Is there anyone else living here? We need to find out all this.”
The three of them walked forward for another half a cup of tea.
Looking at the dark mountain shadows that stretch as far as the eye can see in the distance.
Han Mingjiang wanted to rush inside to look, but was stopped by Xue Lao Hu.
"Second brother, let's not go there. It's dark and we can't see the road or the situation inside.
Let’s wait until daybreak to check again.”
Li Lanzhen thought about it and it made sense. She didn't know if there was still a big snake watching ahead. Anyway, the Medicine Valley was right here, so she could come over anytime.
As I walk through that field of life.
Xue Lao Hu raised his hand, put it against his mouth and coughed, then looked up at Li Lanzhen.
"My dear, I have something to tell you. Do you think this is feasible?"
Li Lanzhen knew what he wanted to remind her.
I wonder how much wealth can be gained from the medicinal herbs in this valley.
There are so many fluorescent stones in that cave, which can be exchanged for a lot of silver.
Just these two things allow Li Lanzhen and her in-laws to live a carefree life.
Money can move people’s hearts, but human hearts are unpredictable, so we better be on guard!
Sure enough, Xue Lao Hu said.
"My dear relatives, look, let's not tell everyone about the fluorescent stones we found in the valleys and caves here.
Let's live in this valley for a while and see what people are like."
After saying this, he looked at Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen smiled and said.
"You're right. Let's just let the three of us know about this today. Don't tell the fourth person."
Han Mingjiang quickly replied, "Mom, you forgot that Xue Bao and Zhang Songshu also knew about it."
Xue Lao Hu said, “They only know there is something here, but they don’t know what it is.
So I thought, we should dig up some ginseng and say that the big snake is watching these things.
As for the big snake, we injured it and it escaped into the mountains and disappeared!
This way everyone knows that the spiritual treasure guarded by the big snake is ginseng."
Li Lanzhen nodded and agreed to do so.
Han Mingjiang grinned, squatted beside the ginseng field, and looked up at them.
"Mom, how many ginsengs do you want to dig?"
Li Lanzhen lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked at Xue Lao Hu and said, "Just dig three ginsengs!
These three ginsengs belong to all of us. Whether we exchange them for silver or keep them for future emergency use, they belong to everyone. "
Xue Lao Hu said, "Second brother, pick the big ones to dig. Let's dig one each among the three of us. This way it will be quicker."
So, the three of them chose the ginseng that they thought was larger, squatted down and started digging.
In fact, Li Lanzhen could just grab the ginseng, lift it up and put it into the space.
But now she didn't want to expose her secret in front of the two of them.
Although, they knew in their hearts that they had a secret, so they let this guess remain in their hearts and not in front of their eyes.
After hesitating for a while, Li Lanzhen grabbed a wild ginseng as thick as a baby's arm and silently said "collect" in her heart. A big hole appeared on the ground, and the ginseng was in the space.
Li Lanzhen took the ginseng out of the space and said to the two of them, "I dug it out. It's intact."
At the same time, Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang also dug out two ginsengs.
It’s just that Han Mingjiang dug out three ginseng roots.
He couldn't help but blame himself, "Mom, it's too dark, I can't see clearly, what a pity, look, I dug out two ginseng roots."
Xue Lao Hu dug out a complete wild ginseng that was as good as Li Lanzhen's.
He took a look at the wild ginseng roots that Han Mingjiang had dug out.
"It's okay. If it's broken, it's broken. We can't sell it for a good price. After the ginseng is processed, it will be left in our valley. It can save lives at a critical moment.
The wild ginseng your mother and I have is intact. We can take it to the pharmacy in Youzhou City to exchange it for silver, and then return and divide it equally among everyone."
Xue Lao Hu was standing nearby. He picked four or five large leaves, then lifted up some grass from the ground, wrapped the ginseng in it, and handed it to Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen put it in the backpack, but actually put it into the space.
"Let's go, they must be waiting anxiously."
After they returned along the same route, they came out of the cave in the Herb Valley and came to the cave leading to the Grand Canyon.
Han Mingjiang looked at the hole which was more than half a person's height and said to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, we have to block this hole, otherwise anyone can get in."
Li Lanzhen said, "It doesn't matter. I can block it. You guys go out first."
The two of them walked away without saying a word.
They knew that Li Lanzhen must have another secret way to block the cave.
Indeed, Li Lanzhen took out a big stone from the space and stuck it directly into the entrance of the cave.
Without tremendous strength, no one can move this huge stone!
After the three people came out of the cave, they went straight to the small platform.
Looking down at the small platform, I heard a lot of noise and the light was as bright as day.
Han Mingjiang asked in confusion.
"Hey, they don't rest and sleep? What are they doing?"
The three men just approached the edge and wanted to lean down to see what the people below were doing.
"Hualala".
A man with a wooden stick as thick as his arm came towards their door.
