Yu Yi quickly found a piece of cloth to wipe away his tears and asked Su Qiang to take a seat.
Su Qiang pointed to the door, meaning that he would leave immediately. Before leaving, he left a note to the effect: "We will meet in the yard at 9 o'clock tonight."
Mao hour is around 5 o'clock in the morning, when the sun rises in the east. It is recorded in the book that the vitality of medicinal herbs is the strongest in the early morning when the dew has not dispersed. If the medicinal herbs can be cut at this time, the vitality of the medicinal herbs can be ensured to the greatest extent and the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs can be maximized. Su Qiang's invitation was to take him to collect medicine. After realizing this meaning, Yu Yi jumped up with joy.
Thinking of the Chou and Yin hours for fishing, and the Mao hour for collecting herbs, all the part-time work time was piled up until midnight. I had to go to morning classes during the day, and only the afternoon was free. If you work around the clock for a long time, your body will definitely be unable to bear it, so Yu Yi had to give up his fishing plan that night and instead collect medicine.
Since he didn't sleep well the first day he went fishing, Yu Yi took off the sandbags and lay down on the bed to sleep after briefly exercising his leg strength.
"Dong dong dong"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and the knock was so hard that the door almost fell apart.
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"
Yu Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes and found Su Qiang standing outside the door.
This time Yuyi was completely awake. He remembered Su Qiang's promise to take him to herbal medicine. He hurriedly returned to the room, put on his clothes and followed him out.
Su Qiang has a well-proportioned figure, but his waist is a bit stooped. He has his hair tied up, wearing a tight black robe, and a mask on his face. The mask covers his entire face, only revealing a pair of eyes. He carried a large bamboo basket on his back and held a sickle-like tool in his hand.
"Okay, Uncle Su, I'm ready, let's go!"
Yu Yi raised his hand and shook his wrinkled sleeves neatly, indicating that Su Qiang could set off now.
Unexpectedly, Su Qiang had no intention of leaving. His eyes were full of seriousness. He took out a package of things from the bamboo basket behind him and threw it into Yu Yi's face.
Yu Yi was startled by the sudden package and did not catch it. After the package fell to the ground, the items inside were scattered out, including a black robe, a mask, and a small sickle. He immediately understood Su Qiang's intention, picked up the package, and armed himself in the same way Su Qiang dressed.
Seeing Yu Yi change his outfit, Su Qiang nodded slightly and then disappeared into the night.
The two came out of the hall, closed the door gently as they left, then turned to the path, passed several B&Bs, and came to the back mountain. Occasionally, some domestic wild dogs heard the footsteps of the two and barked a few times, letting the rain Yi's heartbeat quickened.
"I said, Uncle Su, if we are dressed like this and look high and dark, if we meet people, won't we be misunderstood by them?"
Yu Yi followed Su Qiang and looked around, as if he didn't notice any corner where a wild dog would appear and attack.
"Boy, why are you so cowardly? Don't worry, the dogs are tied with ropes in the yard." Seeing Yuyi shivering, Su Qiang grabbed Yuyi's hand and wrote on it.
"Don't underestimate this piece of clothing. Although it is completely dark, it is extremely tough and will not split when passing by thorny plants. It can effectively protect yourself."
Then Su Qiang pointed to the black clothes on his body and continued to write in Yu Yi's hand.
In this way, the two of them climbed another hill one after the other. Yuyi raised his head and looked at the moonlight. The mountain behind was very majestic, stretching for several miles. The mountain road was winding and full of shrubs. It looked like a giant giant plate up close. Just sit there.
"Uncle Su, we have been gone for a long time, why haven't we arrived yet?"
After climbing over a mountain, Yu Yi was a little tired and did not forget to complain.
"Come on, come on, we'll be almost there after climbing another mountain." Su Qiang comforted.
The effective living area of Daoxiang Village is not large. Starting from the lobby, we walked for 3-4 miles and finally climbed another mountain before arriving near the medicine field.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore. Uncle Su, please give me a rest."
After climbing the mountain for more than an hour, the sky gradually turned white. Yu Yi finally couldn't hold on any longer. He tripped over another stone and couldn't stand up anymore.
At this time, because Su Qiang was walking fast, he was some distance away from Yu Yi. When he heard Yu Yi's voice, he turned back, but he froze on the spot.
"Uncle Su, why are you staying there? Come here and give me a hand."
Yuyi noticed Su Qiang's little movement and shouted again.
Su Qiang's feet suddenly accelerated and he went straight towards Yu Yi. At the same time, he pulled off his mask and put his hands beside his mouth as if shouting. Unfortunately, he was mute and Yu Yi had no idea what he was talking about.
Su Qiang's sudden change made Yu Yi a little upset. His mind was racing, thinking about the reason. When he felt the slight sound on the lawn behind him, he finally realized that Su Qiang was telling him that there was danger behind him and to get away. .
Among the electric lights and flints, Yu Yi rolled on the spot. During the rolling process, he saw an object with colorful fur running past quickly. It was ten feet long, and a strong wind formed where its claws passed. . Although Yu Yi had already dodged in advance, he still didn't completely avoid the claw, leaving two blood marks on his left arm.
At this time, Yu Yi covered his wound and squatted on the ground. He saw clearly that the animal that attacked him turned out to be a tiger, but it looked different from the modern Siberian tiger. The tiger's fur was black and white, and its ears were as big as those of an adult. He was so big, with a long beard, but his eyes were extremely small and red. His tail was curled behind his back, and his forearms were much thicker than his back arms.
The tiger missed the attack, seemed a little angry, and roared toward the sky. The sound was enough to damage Yuyi's eardrums, and then it immediately turned around and prepared for the next attack. Yu Yi noticed the patch of grass where the tiger pounced. There were some small stones mixed in the grass, all of which were torn to pieces by the tiger's sharp claws.
Yu Yi sighed, thinking that this tiger in front of him was no ordinary tiger at all. No wonder Su Qiang said that Daoxiang Village had more spiritual energy. This was well-founded, otherwise this tiger wouldn't be so fierce.
Just as the tiger launched another attack on Yuyi, Su Qiang appeared in front of Yuyi. He held a sickle to protect the tiger from all directions in which it could attack. When the tiger came down with his claws, Su Qiang blocked it with the sickle and only listened to the weapon. There was a sound of contact, and then Su Qiang took several steps back, and the tiger also pounced elsewhere.
Su Qiang's hand holding the sickle was trembling a little. It must have been the stalemate just now that injured the tiger's mouth. On the other hand, the tiger didn't take much advantage. There were a few drops of blood flowing down from the flesh of the claws.
