Jiang Li was able to get some information through Chi Chongrui, but if he used this to deal with him, it would be a vicious method.
Chi Chongrui is different from Jiang Li, the hornet's nest. Not only that, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chi Chongrui is a solid brick.
Thinking of this, the discomfort in Chu Liangyu's heart completely dissipated.
If she didn't want Chi Chongrui to see what she did, she could just send him away. Besides, the most prominent advantage of this guy was that he was easy to deceive.
"Chief, what brings you here?"
When Chu Liangyu went over, they were taking care of the herbs in the shed. Of course, these sheds were not made of plastic, but of herbs they had grown themselves.
During the day, the shed is open to allow the herbs inside to bask in the sun, while at night they are heavily wrapped with vines to prevent them from freezing to death.
Only one elder was rescued at the time, and the remaining three were just ordinary members of the Wood Spirit tribe, but the role they played in the tribe was also indispensable.
Cheng Miao was the first to notice her. After he asked, the others also saw her and Chi Chongrui behind her.
"Yes, there is something. I would like to ask the elder and Cheng Miao to come with me into the house and talk slowly."
When the other three people heard that there was nothing for them to do, they withdrew their gaze and continued with their work of watering.
Finally, Chu Liangyu turned to Chi Chongrui and said, "They can't handle it without two people. Please help them."
The gloomy expression on Chi Chongrui's face had long disappeared. He nodded without hesitation after hearing her order: "Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
In order to make it easier to take care of the herbs, they built their houses not far from the medicinal fields.
The layout here is similar to Chu Liangyu's place. It is a three-story building. The first floor is used for receiving guests. On both sides of the building are guest rooms, as well as bathrooms and kitchens. It can be said that although it is small, it has everything.
"Chief, this is the fruit we created ourselves. Try it and see how it tastes."
The elder had a friendly smile on his face and pushed the fruit prepared by Cheng Miao in front of Chu Liangyu.
Fresh fruits are rare in winter, and Chu Liangyu was lucky enough to have them. She didn't hesitate and tasted them openly.
After a moment, she took out something from her storage bracelet and praised it, "This fruit tastes good." Pointing at the items on the table, she added, "I came here for these two things. Elders, please take a look."
The elder said "oh" and picked up the herb before Chu Liangyu introduced it: "This thing is hard to find."
Chu Liangyu nodded: "Yes, I thought it would be even better if you could cultivate it."
"That's easy." Cheng Miao said this with confidence in his eyes. He glanced at the tattered purse and said doubtfully, "But we're not good at mending torn purses. Chief, take it out, okay?"
"Jiaojiao said you have a keen nose. I want you to smell the ingredients inside and find a way to make the same one."
Cheng Miao always felt that the words "sharp nose" sounded like an insult to him, but seeing the other party's relaxed expression, he ignored the previous thought, took out the thing and smelled it for a moment, then said: "I can smell everything in here, but it smells like blood."
His brows knitted together, and his tone was a little depressed: "I can't tell what kind of blood this is."
Chu Liangyu laughed: "If you can smell this, then it really is..."
With a cough, Chu Liangyu swallowed the nonsense.
This guy really left a deep initial impression on her. Even though he was already a member of her tribe, she still couldn't help but want to confront him.
"There seems to be some kind of energy in this blood that makes people feel very close."
Hearing him say this, Chu Liangyu had an idea in his mind.
She took out a dagger and made a small cut between her fingers. Blood flowed out from it: "Smell it and see if it's like this."
Cheng Miao leaned over and sniffed it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes."
"No, it seems a little light, not that thick." Cheng Miao said as his relaxed eyebrows wrinkled again.
After wiping the blood off her hands, Chu Liangyu lowered her eyes and began to think. Seeing her like this, the other two did not disturb her.
Instead, he checked the other herbs on the table and found that these were the herbs needed by females to temper their bodies. Apart from these, there was no other herb of the same quality as the one just mentioned.
Perhaps the person who picked it accidentally picked it and mixed it with other herbs by mistake, but this also shows from another perspective that this person was lucky.
"I think I know."
Soon Chu Liangyu's eyes became clear and he was not troubled by the previous question for long.
She thought of many possibilities, and finally guessed that the blood might be from the old man, the Beast God, otherwise she wouldn't have the feeling that Cheng Miao described.
"You guys go find other materials first, I'll take care of the blood."
Both of them were puzzled, but it was the elder who spoke up and asked her, "Chief, do you know what kind of blood is in there?"
Chu Liangyu nodded, but did not explain too much. He just said, "Either of these two things is very important. Thank you for your hard work."
The elder still had a cheerful smile on his face: "Don't worry, Chief. Since you have become a member of the tribe, we will do our best to solve any problems you may have."
Chu Liangyu did not stay here for long. After discussing things, she left the yard. The elder wanted Cheng Miao to see her off, but she decisively refused.
"Time is short and the task is heavy, so don't worry about this little etiquette."
Cheng Miao raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. Instead, he watched her leave and returned to the house after a while.
Beside the medicinal field, Chi Chongrui was squatting there in a white robe, fiddling with a herb with his bony hands, as if he was thinking about something.
Chu Liangyu was curious and walked over lightly. He also looked at the herb along with his gaze, but found nothing unusual.
"Why are you staring at it?" She didn't make it difficult for herself and turned to ask the person in charge.
Chi Chongrui let go of the herb and said carefully: "This herb seems to be poisonous."
Chu Liangyu's first reaction was to think it was impossible, but she did not refute it. Instead, she continued to ask: "Is it just this one?"
"No, all of them look like this."
Chu Liangyu's expression turned serious. He waved over and asked, "What's the name of this herb? Who planted it? When did it grow?"
The man gave her a strange look and explained, "This is Guyuan Grass. It's the initial sample you gave us, Chief."
"Have you ever eaten it once? Did you feel uncomfortable?"
The man shook his head and said, "No, and it's very effective in restoring vitality."
Chu Liangyu fell silent and waved him away.
She didn't think Chi Chongrui was joking, but asked him seriously, "Are you sure?"
"Sure." Chi Chongrui's eyes were blank for a moment, and then he said firmly.
"I've taken this herb in front of you before. How come you didn't realize it was poisonous then?" Chu Liangyu stared at his face and continued, "That time in the dilapidated house in Wanshou City."
