Lao Lu is in a good mood today. Ever since he was lucky enough to go into the mountains with Xiao Han a few days ago, it seems that all his luck that has disappeared for a lifetime has returned!
Not to mention the armor on his body that made even the squad leader jealous, he felt very comfortable just leading his brothers to pick tea!
Pick the tea leaves every day! Packing the young shoots individually and sending them over as ordered by the Marquis is now his daily livelihood!
No one will ask him to brush horses and feed livestock anymore! There’s no need to wait for the soldiers to finish their meal before they can hunt down some leftovers! Moreover, since he was responsible for delivering tea to Xiao Han every day, not only on this mountain, but also in Xiazhou City, everyone would give him a smile when they saw him!
Of course, Lao Lu knew very well. All of this is Xiao Han's credit. If you leave him, you will become nothing in an instant! So he now wants to continue this kind of life as long as possible, wishing he could live like this for the rest of his life. .
From the bottom of the mountain, a chaotic sound came up, breaking Lao Lu's happy imagination.
"What's wrong? Who is yelling!" Lao Lu straightened up in displeasure and looked down the hillside. In the gap between the branches and leaves, he saw a figure rushing towards here!
"The thief is so bold! Wait...is this? Lord Marquis!" Seeing that someone dared to chase and fight in this place, Lao Lu's anger rose instantly. Just when I was about to teach this person a lesson, I suddenly recognized that this person was Xiao Han!
"No! Something happened to Mr. Hou!" He was shocked. Lao Lu suddenly jumped up and shouted around him: "Brothers, come out! Come out! Master Hou is in danger!"
From Lao Lu's point of view. Xiao Han is like a rabbit chased by a dog! The group of people at the back didn't know what they were doing. They wanted to catch Mr. Hou with all their teeth and claws. Is this okay?
"What? Where is the Marquis?! Who dares to touch the Marquis!"
One after another roars sounded in the tea forest! Those who picked tea with Lao Lu were all favored by Xiao Han. When they heard that Xiao Han was in danger, their eyes turned red! Throwing down the tea leaves, everyone rushed over, holding knives and going to fight for their lives!
Xiao Han was running wildly at this time! Now his heart is like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping!
Why are you so diligent? The grass that pulls out wool! If you take away my medicine! I hope I don’t plant you in the ground and use them as medicine!
"boom……"
"ah……"
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Han bumped into something unknown in front of him, causing him to scream and feel dizzy! He was about to fall on his back, but he was held tightly by a few strong hands!
"Master Hou!"
"Master Hou, we are here!"
"Master Hou, don't worry!"
Several familiar voices rang in his ears. Xiao Han used the last bit of strength to barely open his eyes and took a look. Who was in front of him if it wasn't Lao Lu?
"Damn it, I shouldn't have given them this armor. It's so hard!" This is the only thought left in Xiao Han's mind...
"Master Hou!!"
Xiaodong, who was running wildly behind, finally caught up. Seeing Xiao Han's smashed appearance, he roared, rushed up and pushed Lao Lu aside, and supported Xiao Han himself.
"What are you doing! Look how much the Marquis has been hit!" Looking down at Xiao Han, who was badly hit, Xiaodong was angry and anxious, and yelled at Lao Lu and the others!
On the other hand, Lao Lu, since Xiaodong appeared, he has been completely confused by Monk Zhang Er!
Originally, he thought that an enemy was chasing Xiao Han, but it was not good for a few wild wolves and dogs to chase him! But I have never seen a private soldier pursue his master so seriously and risk his life so much...
"Master Hou, how are you? Are you okay? My uncle is right behind me. I'll ask him to come up and show you!" After scolding Lao Lu, who was standing there like a stake, Xiaodong took a closer look at his arms. Xiao Han.
Good guy, there's another big bump on my forehead, it's purple and blue, like a unicorn!
"I'm fine. Go up there and take a look at the medicine..." Xiao Han felt that with this collision, he could see stars in broad daylight. If it weren't for the obsession in his heart, he would have fainted.
"Medicine? What kind of medicine?" Xiaodong was anxious, looking around and asking loudly.
"That's right, that's right..." Xiao Han reluctantly pointed to the top of the mountain.
"Medicine? Did the Marquis mean the medicinal herbs on the top of the mountain?" Lao Lu looked at what Xiao Han was pointing at, and only then did he react. Is it possible that Xiao Hou was so anxious not because of the danger behind him, but because he was anxious to go to the mountain to get medicine?
When Xiao Han heard this, he didn't know where the strength came from. He stood up, grabbed Lao Lu and shouted: "Yes! Those are the medicines! What happened to them! Have they been plucked out by those bastards!"
Lao Lu almost got sprayed in the face, so he quickly lowered his head and replied: "It's okay, Mr. Hou is okay! Oh no, it's those medicines that are okay!"
"Is everything okay?" Xiao Han pushed away Xiaodong's supporting hand, looked at Lao Lu dubiously, then pointed down the mountain and said, "I see they are pulling weeds down below, why haven't they reached the mountain yet?"
Lao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He came over and helped Xiao Han sit down in a cleaner place. He pointed down and said, "Master Hou! Why did I think you were so impatient? That's why you came here! There are herbs on the mountain for us. We all know, how can we let people touch them?
Besides, the following is not just pulling weeds! They are planning to build a few shacks! I specially found some grass to make the roof. "
"Ah? So you know it's medicine..."
Xiao Han's face turned red unconsciously. He didn't tell others that this was a mountain of medicine. In fact, I have some greed for this treasure mountain in my heart.
Of course, this is not because he is greedy for this. To Xiao Han, a mountain of medicine is no more valuable than two pieces of yellow and orange, and a heavy piece of gold is more practical! He wanted this place just to surprise the old man who loved medicine as much as his life.
But I never expected that Lao Lu and the others were not ignorant novices. Although I don’t say that I know all the medicines, I can still recognize a few of them without any problem.
This was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately Lao Lu and the others didn't think about it this way. They simply thought that Xiao Han was afraid that the medicinal materials would be gone and his future treatment would be delayed. The respect for Xiao Han increased a little without realizing it at noon.
I know the herbs are fine, but I always feel uneasy until I see them with my own eyes. After sitting on the ground for a while, Xiao Han ignored the big bag on his head and went to the top of the mountain to take a look first.
After passing through rows of tea trees, we went straight to the top of the mountain. I haven't been here for a few days, and the herbs here are growing more and more impressive.
This is actually due to Lao Lu. Although they cannot recognize all the herbs, they can still recognize the weeds. After picking tea, it is common to come up and pull some weeds! Without weeds competing for nutrients, these herbs naturally grow strong.
"Hey, it's a pity. Let others know the beauty of this mountain, and it will be troublesome if they want to take it for themselves..." Looking at the clumps of herbs growing happily, Xiao Han didn't like it and retaliated.
If this was just an ordinary mountain, he could always get it if he wanted it or bought it. After all, in this era, what people value is the plains where they can grow food. I don’t value mountains and forests. But a treasure mountain full of medicinal herbs is a different story.
Xiao Han was secretly worried on the side, but Uncle Lunzi pulled Lao Lu strangely and asked: "Lao Lu, why are you building a shack down there? Are you really planning to guard the mountain?"
Lao Lu cupped his hands to Uncle Fool and whispered to him: "Brother, you don't know something. These days, our people always feel like someone is peeping here, and we don't know who it is, let alone what they are going to do." ! We were afraid that they would come and cause trouble, so we decided to leave a few people to guard it at night!"
"Oh? Who is it? Peeping here? Is it the spy from the opposite side?" Upon hearing this, Uncle Lunzi's expression became serious.
"This doesn't look like it!" Lao Lu waved his hand and said, "We have seen their traces before, but found that they were retreating into the Qinling Mountains! Moreover, the road environment is very familiar, and the spies probably can't do this!"
"Then who are they?" Uncle Lunzi suddenly became confused when he heard that the other party had faded into the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and needless to say there are dangers in them! Just like the tiger last time, there are so many lone wolves. Who would be able to get in there without any trouble? Don't want to die?
After scratching his head and thinking for a while, Uncle Lunzi asked again: "Have you asked others, such as the guide! He often walks in the mountains and forests. Is it possible that he knows something?"
Lao Lu frowned and said to Uncle Fool: "Ask! The guide said he didn't know, but I think there's something wrong with his expression. He should know something!"
"Where are the others?"
"I asked the brothers to watch him! He is in Xiazhou City!"
"No! The matter is not clear. We shouldn't stay here for a long time!" Uncle Fool's expression became more and more serious, if he was alone. Then he will definitely stay here to check. But now that the Marquis is here, he can't put himself in danger!
