Ningxia discovered that Liu Ximu was taking notes and drawing as he walked, and his diligence was comparable to Lin Yi. She was very curious, but she didn't dare to go up and spy on him.

However, Liu Ximu also knew the importance of it. Along the way, except for some precious medicinal herbs that he would stop to pick, he would cooperate with everyone else on the journey.

Seeing that Liu Ximu's luggage bag was getting bigger and bigger, Ningxia became very anxious.

"You see, you can't pick much by yourself. Why don't you teach me how to identify them, and I'll help you take back 30% of the herbs." It was the first time that Ningxia had the nerve to do this, and she felt quite embarrassed.

Liu Ximu seemed surprised that she would speak, but only for a moment. He calmed down again and asked expressionlessly, "Do you know how to prepare medicinal herbs? If not, it would be a waste to bring them back."

Ningxia was embarrassed, thinking that she hadn't learned it yet, and said, "I can dry it in the sun..." but her confidence was not very good.

Liu Ximu carefully dug a Polygonum multiflorum plant he had found in the ground, and he had to distract himself to answer her, "Many herbs lose their efficacy after being dried, so they can't be sold at a high price."

Ningxia became depressed instantly and closed her lips tightly. She decided to wait until she reached the mountains and hunt honestly. At least she was good at that.

"Fifty-fifty."

Unexpectedly, Liu Ximu spoke again. Ningxia was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. She smiled happily and said, "Deal!"

"I won't take advantage of you. When we get back, I'll collect what you picked and what I picked together and process them all, then give you a quarter."

Of course Ningxia would do it. Chinese medicinal materials are so popular in the areas controlled by Chocobos. Now that she has such a professional at hand, she will be so happy to get a bowl of rice. She has a big eater and a picky eater to support at home!

She had something to do along the way. Relying on her good relationship with Li Gang and others, she stopped without hesitation when she came across a large area of ​​medicinal herbs and pulled Liu Ximu to pick them unscrupulously.

Fortunately, Li Gang and his companions also needed to collect a lot of samples, and Liu Ximu would leave one of the more precious Chinese medicinal herbs for them to take back and report.

Unlike Liu Ximu and Ningxia, they simply dug out the roots and threw them into their luggage bags.

Li Gang and his colleagues picked the samples with soil and dripped a few drops of the "immortality water" from above on them to ensure that all kinds of samples could be brought back to the research institute for cultivation alive. Ningxia was so excited to see this.

However, seeing that Li Gang and others had to record in detail even a few drops of the "Eternal Life Water", fearing that the dosage would not match and they would not be able to report back, she knew how precious this thing was, so she gave up the idea.

Ningxia had thought she would be distracted and worried about the two puppies at home, but she didn't think about them at all and was busy and happy.

Liu Ximu had his own considerations for teaching her how to identify herbs. Firstly, the two families were neighbors and would get along for many years if nothing unexpected happened.

Secondly, he had accidentally teamed up with her when they were at the Dawn Base in Liefeng Prefecture before, and he was a decent person. Xiaoqing also had a good impression of her. It was a win-win situation for both parties, and neither of them suffered any loss. This deal wasn't a bad one.

"Here I come."

I heard Lao Liao's surprised voice.

It was already the fourth day since they entered the mountains, and they found traces of goats in an area where trees grew in a mess.

Beneath those densely hanging branches was a well-hidden stream.

Li Gang and his companions had almost collected enough samples, so they decided to stay and stake out to see if they could catch these guys.

Several people hid on the thick, short trees above the river for two whole days. Just when everyone was about to give up, they finally waited for these guys to arrive at dusk.

It was a group of wild goats, their horns were extremely thick like those of a deformed species. Ningxia had no doubt that if they rushed towards her with all their might, her thin body would probably have all her internal organs pierced through.

The eyes of the drooping roosters looked fierce, mostly brown and white, with a few pure black ones occasionally, looking very domineering. There were more than ten of them in this group of majestic guys, not counting the cubs.

Ningxia lay on the tree, the fatigue from two days of squatting disappeared, the pistol in his hand was ready to use, the guy below was almost two hundred pounds, if he could kill a few of them, he would make a fortune!

A group of goats walked to the river one after another, constantly lowering their heads to nibble on the tender fresh grass still covered with dew.

Seeing that their positions were gradually dispersing, Li Gang raised his hand and made a few gestures. Ningxia and Lao Liao were responsible for shooting one, Li Gang and Liu Ximu were responsible for shooting one, and the remaining two coalition forces were responsible for shooting one each.

Even though it was close range shooting, the hide of the wild animals was much thicker than before. Li Gang and Lao Liao, two veterans, could each bring one, so Ningxia and Liu Ximu wouldn't return empty-handed.

As Li Gang's hand gesture fell heavily, everyone opened fire, each aiming at the corresponding target on the ground.

The bow and arrow in Liu Ximu's hand was difficult to operate, so Ningxia gave him her military crossbow as tuition, and she took out the small pistol.

Old Liao was quick-witted and shot the goat assigned to them in the kneecap. The animal let out a long cry and fell to the ground, then slowly struggled to stand up.

Ningxia also pulled the trigger in an instant, and the bullet successfully hit the goat's huge forehead, just a hair's breadth away from the eye.

This time, the sheep also staggered and fell down, gasping for breath, and could no longer stand up.

Without caring about being surprised, Lao Liao changed the direction of the gun in his hand and aimed it at Liu Ximu. It turned out that Liu Ximu's arrow had brushed past the goat and startled it.

Lao Liao and Li Gang quickly fired several more shots, forcing the opponent to lie on the ground and unable to get up.

The two coalition forces on the other side only captured one.

Three sheep fell to the ground, and after the initial shock wore off, the remaining goats did not run away in panic.

Instead, it turned around and crashed into the short tree where they were standing!

These short trees had been soaked in water all year round and had lost their toughness. The goats hit them hard with all their might. It was no exaggeration to say that if they hit them a few more times, the people on the trees would fall to the ground along with the trees.

But none of them showed any fear; instead, they were all extremely excited.

Ningxia's eyes gleamed, but her hand holding the gun remained remarkably steady. Since he didn't know how to run and had foolishly bumped into her, then forget about her rudeness.

After several people worked together to shoot and kill a sheep that was charging around recklessly, the flock seemed to finally realize how powerful they were. As if someone was leading them, they all turned around and left at the same time, raising their front hooves and disappearing into the dense forest without any reluctance.

Ningxia's eyes sparkled as she looked at the four fat sheep that were still breathing on the ground. She first tried to find a way to preserve them. She didn't know how much money she could make by selling the mutton that could ward off the cold in the few days before the cold month.

It’s a pity to see so much blood on the ground, because this is all the tender and fragrant lamb blood soup!
