Chapter 396: Beast-Repelling Incense
When Jiang Hong saw his wife coming over, he immediately ordered the soldiers around him to leave and then walked towards her.
"Why are you here? Is everything okay?" He checked her body with concern.
Li Yiyi patted his arm and said, "I'm fine. I came here to tell you that I found some footprints of large beasts nearby. You guys need to strengthen your position and be careful."
At this point, she remembered the important reason why she came here. "Here, have your soldiers take these and light them around us. They are animal repellent incense that I made myself. If those large beasts smell this, they will automatically stay away from us."
The animal-repellent incense she made was similar to the mosquito coils used in later generations, except that it contained a lot of traditional Chinese medicine flavors that wild animals hated.
Seeing the animal-repelling incense that his wife stuffed into his hands, Jiang Hong looked up at his wife in front of him deeply. His wife is really a treasure.
"Okay, I got it. You should hurry over there and stay with them. Don't wander around. Although our people have checked the surroundings, we are still worried that there might be some missed places." He reminded with concern.
The couple was talking when they suddenly saw Hong Shuo walking towards them with a serious expression on his face.
As soon as Jiang Hong saw his good friend's face, he knew something was wrong. He quickly turned around and said to his wife, "Go back and tell them not to leave. It's for everyone's safety."
Li Yiyi looked at Hong Shuo who stopped halfway through his walk. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about the matter in front of her.
She nodded, then turned and left.
Hong Shuo, who was standing anxiously not far away, saw that there was no one else on his good brother's side, so he continued to walk towards him. His face was a little anxious, but he lowered his voice and said, "Something happened."
Jiang Hong glanced at the people in front, pulled his arm and said in a low voice, "Let's go over there and talk."
The two of them walked quietly to a big tree not far away and started talking.
"Our people just went to patrol nearby and found some human tissue. They must have been eaten by a large beast. As for who it was, we can't tell because there are too few fragments to examine." Hong Shuo spoke in a low voice.
Jiang Hong pursed his lips and immediately handed out the few beast-repelling incense sticks in his hand. "This is the beast-repelling incense. Take it and distribute it to the brothers. Tell them to light it and place it around."
When Hong Shuo saw the thing in his hand, his eyes lit up, "Great, Lao Jiang, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing in your hand. Why didn't you take it out before? I was scared to death just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his good brother looking at him with a speechless expression. The next second, Hong Shuo immediately figured it out, "Could it be that this thing was taken out by my sister-in-law?"
"Except for my wife, who else can come up with such a good thing?" Jiang Hong rolled his eyes at him.
"You are really lucky to have married such an amazing wife." After saying that, Hong Shuo looked at his girlfriend who was sitting not far away and said smugly, "But my girlfriend is not bad either. She is also a researcher and very capable."
Jiang Hong couldn't bear to see his stupid self-praising look, so he shook his head and quickly walked towards the team in front that had discovered the incident.
On the other side, Li Yiyi sat back in the team. At this time, the people in the team had not yet realized the danger around them. They were still immersed in what they had discovered on the mountain.
"It's really worth coming here. I just found a good drought-fighting thing on the way in. If we dig it up and study it carefully, we won't have to worry too much even if our country encounters a severe drought in the future."
"A good thing happened to me. Did you see what's in this bottle? It's a rare insect that has never appeared in books. If I take it back and study it carefully, my name can be realized in the book. I gave it a name, named after me, called the Origin Insect. Do you think it sounds good?"
When Li Yiyi walked over, she saw these people enthusiastically discussing the good things they had found.
"Everyone, these things in your hands are not the most precious in this Wushan Mountain. We have another most powerful thing in Wushan Mountain. Do you know what it is?" At this moment, Ye Fan, who had been listening to them in the crowd, suddenly raised his hand and said happily.
When everyone heard his words, their curiosity was aroused.
"Comrade Ye, please tell us what is the most precious thing in your Wushan Mountain?" After hearing his words, the crowd couldn't help but ask loudly.
Ye Fan smiled and told them mysteriously, "It is said that our Wushan is a sacred mountain. There lives an immortal in it. The immortal planted a magical herb here. This magical herb can bring the dead back to life, prolong life, and keep people young forever."
After hearing his explanation, everyone showed a look of doubt on their faces.
"How is it possible that there is such a herb? I think it is a myth, it is impossible." Someone said calmly.
"That's not necessarily true. There are all kinds of strange things in this world. Look at what we found here. We used to think that these things would not exist in this world, but now they are all in our hands." Someone else expressed his belief.
Ye Fan, who was listening to the quarrel of these people, smiled and interrupted them, "Actually, this is really a true story. I heard that a long time ago, there was a filial son. His mother was seriously ill and even the doctor said that she would live for two days. However, the son was a filial son and didn't want to watch his mother die. So he secretly came to Wushan Mountain and searched for a day and a night. In the end, he really found this magic herb and finally saved his mother. This kind of thing has been circulating in several villages near us. I didn't lie to you."
"Comrade Ye, can you tell us what this magical herb looks like? Maybe it is right next to us, but we don't know what it looks like and we can't recognize it." Someone looked at him greedily and asked.
Ye Fan smiled and replied, "As for it, I only heard that it looks very special. It glows at night, and its leaves look like they are covered with water droplets."
