Chapter 828 Not Found (Thanks to the book friend "Bei Ye Xingchen" for the reward)
After wandering through the mountains and forests for more than half an hour, even Zhou Silang, who was previously quite sure of his way, got lost, but Zhou Hu managed to lead them to the destination.
Zhou Silang looked around, then stared at a piece of mountain wall for a long time, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's here. It's on the shady side. I used to pick wild mushrooms here when I was a child."
He carefully glanced at Manbao, then walked to a spot a little way off the cliff and said, "My uncle and aunt were lying here at the time."
Manbao walked over and looked at her in silence for a while. Baishan walked over to her and held her hand.
Bai Er rushed over from behind, looked at the two people, then looked at the silent crowd around them, and asked, "Who are you talking about? Who's lying here?"
Bai Shan glared at him and said, "No one. This place is shady, maybe there is Ganoderma lucidum. Let's look around."
Liu Gui and others responded and left, because they had never looked for this place before.
Manbao had already learned the result from Keke, "There is nothing here, not even any plants that can be included."
Manbao didn't leave, but stood there looking around, then turned and asked Bai Shan, "Where do you think they came from?"
Bai Shan tried hard to figure out the direction. After thinking about the location of the path, he pointed uncertainly in one direction and said, "From that side? I wonder which road he came up the mountain from. It could also be this way."
When people are running for their lives, they always run around and lose their way, especially in the deep forest, where it is even more difficult to determine the direction. What if they start wandering around in the mountains?
There were no traces, and they had no way of determining the direction they had come from.
Manbao said, "Since we can't tell, let's search in one direction at a time."
Manbao picked up a branch and said, "Come, let's choose a direction."
After saying that, he threw the branch into the air. One end of the branch pointed in one direction. Manbao pointed and said, "Let's go and look this way first."
Everyone: ...So careless?
Bai Erlang, who was happily searching, looked up in disbelief and asked, "You've changed the location again? Didn't you say this piece of land is in the shade? Why don't you look carefully?"
"No, the Ganoderma lucidum must not be here." Manbao said affirmatively.
Bai Jilang: "How do you know?"
Manbao glanced at him and said, "Because I'm a doctor. I'm more familiar with medicinal herbs than you are. If I say I'm not here, then I'm not here."
After saying that, she led everyone in the direction she had just chosen. Bai Shan hurriedly followed. As soon as the two of them left, the others naturally followed.
At this moment, not only Bai Erlang, but also Zhou Hu noticed it.
They didn't seem to be here to commemorate Zhou Yin, but rather to look for something.
He pondered for a moment, didn't ask anything, and followed silently. After thinking carefully along the way, he said: "It's deeper further ahead. We occasionally go in there to hunt."
Manbao asked, "Go further, where has he been?"
Zhou Hu said, "I'll take you there."
Bai Erlang was a little angry. He snorted, walked aside, and walked forward sullenly.
He also heard that they were not coming in to look for Ganoderma lucidum.
The group continued to move forward. The roads inside were sometimes difficult to walk on, and some were impassable, so they needed to use sickles to clear the way. Manbao would occasionally squat down to dig up some flowers and plants, and then Liu Gui and the others would take this opportunity to search around.
Often when Manbao has finished digging and they haven't found what they want, Manbao will walk around and then continue forward.
Liu Gui thought it was nonsense to look for things in this way, but Bai Shan and Daji didn't object, and the Zhou family had a very strange attitude.
I hope they can find the things, but I don't want Manbao to get too deeply involved in this matter, so I adopt a laissez-faire attitude after hesitating between the two.
Whenever they stopped, they would search hard, hoping to find something; but as soon as Manbao left, they would immediately follow him and would never stay for a moment.
Zhou Hu naturally favors the two Zhou Erlang brothers.
Liu Gui followed behind with his three men, and in the end he could only become as depressed as Bai Erlang.
They had lunch in the woods and rested for a short while before continuing until the sun was about to set. Except for Manbao who had a good harvest, no one found anything.
Bai Jilang looked at them coldly.
Zhou Hu said, "We have to go out. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if we can't get out after dark. There are wolves in this mountain."
Zhou Erlang made a decision and nodded, "Let's go out."
Manbao and Baishan were quite unwilling, but they had to follow him out.
Bai Erlang walked in front in a depressed mood. Seeing that the two people didn't come to comfort him, he stopped deliberately and snorted beside them when they came up.
Bai Shan said, "Don't hum, I didn't tell you this for your own good. If you don't believe me, go back and ask your uncle, and see if he will beat you up."
Bai Erlang glared, "My father knows everything?"
Bai Shan snorted, "He knew it earlier than me, and in more detail than me. The adults kept it a secret from us before."
"And you're hiding this from me again?" Bai Erlang pointed at them and said, "You're supposed to be studying the sages' books, but don't you know not to do to others what you don't want done to yourself?"
Man Bao said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so naturally I can't tell you. Otherwise, what if I tell you and you are in danger?"
"I don't care, I just want to know."
Bai Shan and Man Bao felt that they still had the love between senior and junior sisters, so they decided not to tell him.
Bai Erlang's curiosity was aroused. He circled around them and said, "How about this, I'll tell you a secret, and you tell me this secret too."
Manbao asked curiously, "What secrets can you have?"
Bai Erlang: "You must promise me first."
Bai Shan said: "We know everything about you. There is no secret. Stop lying to us."
"Who said there isn't one? I just found it yesterday," Bai Erlang said. "We went to the Taoist temple yesterday, and guess what happened?"
Manbao and Baishan were stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"County Magistrate Tang isn't at the temple. His replacement is his attendant, the one called Mingli." Bai Erlang said, "A squire from the neighboring county came to burn incense and wanted to see County Magistrate Tang. But County Magistrate Tang said he was tired and didn't want to see anyone. I don't think that's right. Could County Magistrate Tang ever get tired?"
Bai Shan had a bad feeling and asked with a tingling scalp, "Then what?"
"Then I took my men to tear open Magistrate Tang's window and discovered Mingli inside. He was wearing Magistrate Tang's home clothes, sitting on the wooden couch only Magistrate Tang could sit on, and drinking Magistrate Tang's tea, pretending to be Magistrate Tang." Bai Erlang said, "Why did I come back so late last night? I was just squatting there, waiting to see when Magistrate Tang would return, but when he didn't, Daoxu chased me down the mountain."
Manbao and Baishan: ...
Good night
