Chapter 54: The Two Women Meet
On the gentle slope of about 300-400 square meters, sunlight shines directly from above the canyon. The entire slope is illuminated, with no other plants on it. Uniform and consistent. All are this kind of plant with a height of about 20-30 cm, similar to the shape of pine cones.
However, unlike Songluo, most of them are parasitic on arbor trees, hanging upside down from the branches and trunks of arbor trees, looking like frost.
However, this spirit grass was growing on the ground. Upon closer inspection, Tang Zheng also noticed some changes. In fact, these spirit grasses were also parasitic on a certain unknown shrub. It's just that in the local area, the name of the spirit grass was too loud, and the mountain people were more taboo about this kind of thing. When they saw it, most of them would retreat three houses away. Who would dare to walk up and observe it closely?
If Tang Zheng hadn't inherited it and known that this thing was a medicinal material, he probably wouldn't have thought of it either.
Just as Tang Zheng was about to collect the spirit grass, a rustling sound suddenly came from beside him. This made Tang Zheng extremely vigilant. He immediately retreated several meters away. The red-tasseled spear in his hand was also gripped tightly, its tip aimed at the spirit grass.
About a minute later, on the right side of this vast expanse of wild grass, a gust of wind with an unusually pungent smell blew over. As someone who grew up in the mountains, although Tang Zheng had been studying and working in the city for many years, he still knew some basic knowledge.
When this happens, there must be something strange or even dangerous. The gun was aimed at the right side. Soon, Tang Zheng saw a big guy. At least four or five meters long, as thick as an arm, a green python with gloomy eyes, swiftly swam over and stared at Tang Zheng.
The snake's head rose, its icy gaze fixed on this side, assuming an attacking posture. Tang Zheng felt a chill run down his spine at this moment, how could such a large python appear? Looking at this stance, it was going to attack and defend its territory.
As a mountain child, Tang Zheng knew some habits of animals. At this time, he absolutely could not run, once his back was exposed, the waiting animal would definitely attack.
Whether it's a snake or a wolf, leopard and other animals, they are all the same. The red tassel spear was aimed at the seven-inch position of the giant python. Tang Zheng was also moving his footsteps carefully. Step by step, slowly retreating back.
On this side, the big python retreated after seeing Tang Zheng retreat, but also followed step by step. Tang Zheng took a step back, and it took a step forward. Until Tang Zheng left this area more than 100 meters away, only then did it give up.
Tang Zheng didn't leave at this moment, although it was dangerous. However, Tang Zheng couldn't walk away, having seen even bigger pythons than this one before, albeit in a zoo. But he wasn't particularly afraid, and more importantly, the Ming Grass hadn't been obtained yet.
Sneaking along, following the giant python from behind, slowly approaching the area where the Ling Grass grew, Tang Zheng was stunned, leaning against the cliff beside him. The giant python was eating the Ling Grass. This completely overturned Tang Zheng's understanding. After all, pythons were carnivores. How could they be interested in plants?
It can be confirmed that this giant python is also due to the strong vitality and repair ability of Mingcao, such a magical plant, and it is an ancient plant, naturally belongs to the category of Tiancai Dibao.
Fortunately, the python didn't eat much, just a small amount equivalent to one or two shrubs. After finishing eating, the big python cautiously circled around this patch of grass before slowly slithering away.
At this time, Tang Zheng was very cautious and waited for another ten or so minutes before confirming that the python would not return. Only then did he quietly walk up. This time, Tang Zheng will not pick too much Ling Grass. This time, it's purely an experiment. On the one hand, to see if the prescription has any effect, on the other hand, also want to see if there is a possibility of transplanting.
He picked a lot of wild herbs from the shrubs, and then dug up a living plant in a denser area before leaving.
After walking out of the canyon and seeing Song Yan standing in the middle of a small stream, concentrating on fishing, Tang Zheng's highly tense mood finally eased up.
The tent has been set up. However, Tang Zheng didn't dare to camp here again. That big python valued those spirit grasses so much, who knows if it would discover that some of the spirit grasses were missing, and if it did, it might give chase, which would be dangerous.
"Old Second, hurry up and pack, we're heading down the mountain immediately. We can't camp here."
Song Yan was somewhat surprised and walked up, saying in a daze: "Boss, what's going on? Didn't we agree to camp here tonight?"
Tang Zheng shook his head, looking very serious: "Just now when I went in, I found a big python. This place is probably not safe anymore. Lao Yao, there will be plenty of opportunities and time later, next time we'll make more thorough preparations and I'll take you to the other side of Tianping, listen to me today, let's pack up our things and leave immediately."
Under Tang Zheng's insistence, the two of them quickly gathered all their things and headed down the mountain. The journey downhill was much faster than uphill, on one hand because it didn't require as much effort to walk, and on the other hand because the road had already been opened up, saving them the time they would have spent opening it.
It wasn't until after 3 pm that they set off, and by dusk, Tang Zheng and Song Yan had already returned home.
As soon as he entered the house, Tang Zheng found an old ceramic basin and transplanted the living Ming grass into it. Then, he moved it to a sunny spot in the valley behind the house.
The villagers all have taboos about this. The old guard is very particular about such things. Nowadays, there's nothing to be gained by saying that the spirit grass has great value when you can't even produce any real evidence. Not to mention the villagers won't believe it, even parents wouldn't believe it. By keeping it hidden, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
At the same time, Tang Zheng locked himself in his room. According to the knowledge passed down, although the Nether Grass had strong regenerative and vital properties, it had to be processed within three hours after being picked from its host. Otherwise, its efficacy would rapidly dissipate.
All the medicinal effects will be absorbed into the plant's body. To maintain the plant's own repair and life.
The processing of this herb is relatively simple, using a mortar and pestle to thoroughly crush the plant into a fine powder. This turns the plant itself into a thick powder. In this way, the effective essence inside the Meng grass will no longer be retracted.
"Dad, I went into the mountains today and found the medicinal herbs I needed. There's a lot going on in Zhonghai, and also, I've graduated here and need to report to my work unit. So, I think I'll leave tomorrow." Tang Zheng mentioned returning to Zhonghai during dinner with his father.
"So soon? Tuzi, stay a few more days. It's been so many years since you've come back." Tang Mu Liu Feng'e said with some reluctance.
"Feng'e, do you know what? The child is now at the age of creating the universe, but still has to prioritize his career." Tang Dahai scolded, looking at Tang Zheng: "Alright, go ahead and work with peace of mind. Your mom and I are both in good health, we can move around, there's no problem. Do your own thing well, and we'll be happy."
It was past eleven at night, after his parents had gone to sleep, that Tang Zheng carefully moved the Meng Cao placed behind the house into the trunk of the car.
"Dad, take this card, there's one million inside." The next morning, Tang Zheng and Song Yan had already loaded everything onto the car. Tang Zheng took out a postal savings bank deposit card that he had applied for in town and handed it to his father, Tang Da Hai.
Seeing his father's reluctant look, Tang Zheng smiled and said: "Dad, take it, I still have money. You can rest assured. Look, we three siblings are all grown up now. Our family's house is not enough either. Take this money and renovate the house again. After I go to Zhonghai this time, I'll find someone to design it. When the time comes, I'll send the drawings back to you. You just follow the drawings for construction. By New Year's, I'll definitely let Baozi and Little Sister come back, and we'll have a real reunion dinner at home this year."
"Ah, you kid, I'll listen to you. Now that you've grown up, your skills are even better than your dad's. From now on, we can just wait for a life of ease and comfort." Tang Dahai nodded and took the bank card.
Returning from Chunan to Zhonghai City, the return journey was not as rushed as when I came, and it took two days and one night. On the third day in the afternoon, the car returned to Yujing Blue Bay.
"Yèzi, how are the medicinal materials you prepared? I'm back in Zhonghai. Bring all these medicinal materials over to Yujing Blue Bay immediately. I'm staying in Building 11, Room 1205." As soon as he got off the car, Tang Zheng took out his phone and called Ye Xiaoxin.
Pushing open the door, Tang Zheng entered and said to Song Yan behind him: "Old Xiao, come in and sit down for a while, take a rest first."
As soon as I entered the door, on the sofa, I saw Li Fei's figure. Today, Li Fei was wearing a very sexy nightgown, a purple silk sleep dress. The hem just reached the middle of her thighs. It had two layers, inside and out, with soft silk fabric inside. It wrapped around her chest to buttocks, under the transparent purple gauze, looking incredibly **.
Her jade-like slender feet were placed on the tea table. Her fair and tender thighs, exposed to the outside, gave off a strange kind of stimulation.
"Ah! Tang Zheng. Why didn't you say something before coming back?" Li Fei's face turned bright red as she covered her chest and rushed into her own room.
At this time, Ye Xiao Xin's voice came from outside the door: "Shixiong, Song Yan you're back. I've brought all the medicinal materials. What's wrong with you?"
Just then, Li Fei's door opened and she changed into a new set of cartoon pajamas. As soon as Li Fei came out, her eyes fell on Ye Xiao Xin: "Tang Zheng, who is she?"
Ye Xiangxin's face also sank, looking at Tang Zheng, then glanced at Li Fei, and said in a low voice: "Master brother, is she your girlfriend?"
PS: It's a bit unexpected, but the new book has made it to the top of the new book chart. I can only use the word "persevere" because this is after many big shots automatically dropped out. Despite this, after the 20th, when the new book chart comes out, Old Cai will add an extra chapter. Tonight, continue to rush up the charts, for the last four days of the new book chart, hopefully, it can be sustained.
