Chapter 225 Discovering the Valley

"Uncle Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really don't have the ability." Li Wanqing said calmly.

"Madam Li, do you have any concerns? If you have any concerns, please speak up. Although our Liu family is not a wealthy family, we still have some capabilities.

We can handle most things for you." Shopkeeper Liu said.

"Uncle Liu, you're overthinking it. There's really nothing wrong. We are just ordinary people and don't want to have anything to do with the powerful." The smile on Li Wanqing's face faded.

Now Manager Liu understood what was going on.

Madam Li was angry. After all, when she bought the herbs, she had promised not to tell anyone that she bought them from her.

And now, not only did he tell everyone, he also brought the person to her house.

"Madam Li, I was wrong in this matter. I broke my promise to you. Today, I was inconsiderate and brought Qidong here.

But don't worry, I'll tell Qidong not to tell anyone when I get back." Shopkeeper Liu apologized immediately.

Li Wanqing sneered inwardly, "What's the point of saying this now? The person has already been brought here.

When she sold him the herbs, she told him not to let others know that he bought them from her.

At that time, Manager Liu also promised, but what happened? Didn't he bring people to find her?

Although she thought so in her heart, Li Wanqing did not say it: "Uncle Liu, I really didn't.

I've been keeping an eye out for it over the past few years, but never encountered it.

Tomorrow, Gu Yan and I will go to the mountains to help you look for it, but Uncle Liu, don't get your hopes up.

After all, I have been looking for it in the past few years at the place where I picked the Resurrection Grass, but I have never found it."

Shopkeeper Liu knew that Li Wanqing had developed a rift with him, and he was afraid that she would not sell him any good medicinal herbs in the future.

Now Manager Liu regrets it very much. He didn't think much about it at the time and brought Qidong here in a fit of rage.

"Alas, I didn't think this through, but I can assure you that even if Qidong knows about this, it won't be spread outside. You don't have to worry about being implicated." Shopkeeper Liu knew what Li Wanqing was worried about, so he gave her a guarantee.

Li Wanqing scoffed at Manager Liu's assurance. He would certainly not betray them unless there was something wrong.

But what if something happened? Like this time, they brought the person to her home before his life was threatened?

If anything threatens him in the future, he will definitely sell them out without hesitation.

"It's okay, Uncle Liu, this is nothing shameful, I was just lucky enough to come across a good medicinal herb.

Besides, who can say for sure about luck? Encountering even one in a lifetime is already a blessing from my ancestors, and I can't imagine encountering a second one." Li Wanqing spoke without missing a beat.

Shopkeeper Liu knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he could only go back helplessly.

"Hmph, we won't sell our good medicinal herbs to Manager Liu anymore from now on, otherwise I'm afraid something bad will happen." Li Wanqing said.

“Shopkeeper Liu probably brought the person home because he was anxious, but we should try to sell less of our precious medicinal herbs in the future.

Since I'm going to sell it, I won't sell it to anyone I know. I'll take it to another county to sell it in the future." Although Gu Yan felt that Li Wanqing was a little too worried, it was always better to be cautious.

Li Wanqing returned to the kitchen to continue making dry food, and Gu Yan also went to accompany Hengheng.

The next morning, Gu Yan and Li Wanqing got up early.

Hengheng was still sleeping, but Xuanxuan was up because he had to go to school soon.

"Xuanxuan, your mother and father will be leaving soon, so let Guangming pick you up these days.

Don't follow anyone else who picks you up, except Guangming and Uncle Wang.

Also, don’t run around when your parents are not at home. Also, you are an older brother, but you can also be a good younger brother.

"Be good and listen to me, and I'll make you some beef jerky when I get home," Li Wanqing warned worriedly.

If Li Wanqing hadn't been worried about Gu Yan, she definitely wouldn't have gone with him. After all, she still had two sons at home.

But now is the mating season for animals, and most of them are very irritable.

If she doesn't follow, what if Gu Yan encounters danger?

"I understand, Mom. I will take good care of my brother, but you have to come back soon." Xuanxuan promised seriously.

"My son is such a good boy. Don't worry, mom and dad will try to come back as soon as possible." Li Wanqing squatted down and said to Xuanxuan while looking straight at him.

Xuanxuan has actually become accustomed to his parents going into the mountains for a month every year.

It’s just that we used to go there in autumn, but this year we changed it to spring.

After giving the instructions, Gu Yan and Li Wanqing left in a hurry, fearing that Hengheng would wake up and cry.

Anyway, I had already told Aunt Qiu and the others everything I needed to say yesterday.

After entering the mountain, the two people did not go home to pack up as they did before, but went straight to their destination.

Of course, I didn’t miss any pheasants, rabbits, or medicinal herbs I encountered on the way and stored them directly in my space.

The two men collected as they walked, and did not even look for the so-called resurrection grass.

Li Wanqing has a lot of that stuff in her space, but she just can't take it out.

They came here just to deal with it.

So they played along the way, and it really felt like they were on a tour.

Until one day, they accidentally entered a valley while chasing a white fox.

"Oh my God? Gu Yan, am I seeing things?" Li Wanqing opened her mouth in surprise at the scene in front of her.

They came in chasing a white fox.

The entrance to this valley is very hidden, hidden behind a pile of rocks, and the entrance is very small, so you need to lie down to enter.

However, about two meters inside is the exit, but the exit is blocked by a vine, and if you don't pay attention you might think it's just a small hole.

If I hadn't followed the fox, I wouldn't have been able to find the exit even if I lay down and looked inside from the outside.

It was a coincidence that they discovered it. Li Wanqing wanted to make a fox scarf, and the two of them chased the fox here.

Seeing the fox crawling into the cave, Gu Yan lay down at the entrance and looked inside, just in time to see the fox passing through the vines.

Gu Yan vaguely saw the red ginseng fruit through the gap.

The two men then crawled in following the fox.

I didn't expect to see large areas of medicinal herbs, flowers and fruit trees as soon as I came out.

The valley is not small. It is estimated to be about 20 meters wide and 500 meters long.

There is a small stream running through the center of the valley, and small animals come to drink water from time to time.

There is a stone house in the middle near the foot of the mountain. There is a vegetable field in front of the stone house, but it is now overgrown with weeds, probably because no one takes care of it.

And for some unknown reason, the fruit trees in the valley are all hanging with fruits and the flowers are blooming brightly.

Logically speaking, the rice seedlings have just been planted at this time of year, so it is impossible for them to bloom and bear fruit.
