"You can tell." I smiled and said casually.
Lu Xiu nodded, with a proud look in her eyes.
"It's much better to have fewer herb collection teams in the village. Ba Qing is now the most powerful. Every time he goes into the mountains, he makes a lot of money."
"Are they all collecting herbs in the scenic spot?" I asked casually.
Of course, I know that I am wrong to ask this. Whenever any scenic spot is developed, herb collectors will no longer be allowed to move in the area, and environmental protection will be carried out.
Lu Xiu immediately shook his head and said: "That's good. You have to go far into the mountains. There weren't many medicinal materials outside the scenic area in the past few years."
"The further you go into the mountains, the more valuable medicines you find, all of which are purely wild."
While talking, Lu Xiu had already taken me to the backyard.
There are four rooms on each side of the neatly cleaned courtyard, and there are also several rooms on the second floor.
It seemed that the B&B was mixed with their own home. Two of the houses even had herbs dried on the railings in front of them.
Although the yard is small, it is well-equipped with a small pool about one meter in size, a flower bed next to it, and trees planted there.
Lu Xiu gave me a bunch of keys and asked me which room I wanted to stay in? There is everything in the room. If you are missing anything, you can always ask her at the front desk.
After I took it over, I chose a room on the first floor.
When I entered the room, Lu Xiu asked me curiously, what kind of work do I do?
I smiled lightly and replied, "It's Mr. Feng Shui. After saying that, I entered the house."
Of course, from the corner of my head, I saw the surprise in Lu Xiu's eyes.
After closing the door, I turned on the light.
The decoration of the room is not new, but it is clean and has everything it needs.
At the foot of the mountain, the constant humidity gives the house a faint musty smell.
The window in the room is from the inside, facing the yard, but the curtains are closed, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside.
There was a desk by the window. I sat next to the desk, put down the copper box, took out the Buddhist scriptures, and continued to look at the Feng Shui diagrams about this section of the Dongwu Mountains.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the desk, while thinking back to what the old woman had just said to the child, that if he didn't eat well, he would be captured by the white-haired ghost.
It is very common in rural areas that children are disobedient and will use some old stories and rumors to scare them.
Through the B&B environment I could see, I found the B&B whose owner was most likely a herb collector. This would make it easier for me to understand some things about the Dongwu Mountains.
Especially the rumors and environment within the mountains can be of great help to me during this trip.
The villagers with big bellies and skinny limbs in the dream clearly didn't look like white-haired ghosts.
But that place must be close to where Yang Qingshan is going.
That white-haired ghost must be the thing that killed people in this mountain, otherwise the old man would not mention it in his mouth.
This is what I need to pay careful attention to. Small things may allow me to avoid unnecessary risks.
In addition to understanding the Dongwu Mountains, the most important thing is to enter the mountains. I need a guide.
I didn’t take the Feng family with me, and Yang Qingshan didn’t show up. I don’t know the reason yet, so I definitely couldn’t go into the mountain alone.
A herb collector who is familiar with the deep mountain environment is completely competent and has been of great help to me.
Of course, I can't just meet a herb collector and ask him to be my guide. I have to look at his face and his character.
While deducing and thinking in my mind, I also briefly organized my words.
After putting away my things and washing my face, I went to bed and took a nap, waiting for Lu Xiu to call me.
Not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up by a slight knock on the door. Lu Xiu called softly from outside the door, asking me to have a casual meal with him.
After I opened the door, Lu Xiu was all smiles and said that they had cooked a lot of home-cooked dishes! He also used old hens that had been raised at home for several years to stew nourishing medicinal food for me to try.
I smiled and said a nice word.
In fact, this is not even a calculation.
I spent a lot of money here, and the identity I revealed was like a Feng Shui master, which is extremely rare in normal times.
There are many people in mountain villages who are superstitious, so they will definitely be very curious.
In addition, I said before that her man is a herbal collector, so they must be curious about me too.
The dining area is right in front of the front desk, with a small square table, four chairs, and a large pot of soup on the table. Three or four meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes are fried. The soup still has the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
The old woman was sitting on one side and looking at me carefully.
Facing the door was a man in his thirties, with bronze skin and a very strong look.
He was currently brushing up video software.
After we came out, he quickly put away his mobile phone. After standing up, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to me and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Luo! My name is Ba Qing!" Ba Qing's voice was rough. Judging by his tone, he has a cheerful personality.
I also stretched out my hand to shake his hand, smiled and introduced myself.
My eyes naturally swept over Ba Qing's face, and I saw his features at a glance.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side: "Mother-in-law, my old man is hiding in the mountains every day. If a white-haired ghost comes out, he will definitely catch him but not me!" It was the little boy who spoke. He was holding a bamboo ball in his hand and playing with it.
