Chapter 16 A Satisfactory Harvest



"I don't mind the fatigue."

As Lin Xiaofei spoke, he quickly went up to help push the cart, and the three of them left the Medicine Pavilion from the backyard.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. At this time, the whole street was bustling with people. Lin Xiaofei, Uncle Wang and Qian Er pushed a large cart and walked among the crowd.

After leaving the city, turn left and walk for several hundred meters.

"Uncle Wang, there are people in the woods and bushes over there."

Lin Xiaofei looked around, his eyes lit up, and whispered to Wang Shan beside him.

On one side of the road, in a large grove of trees in the distance, a figure leaped from the east side of the grove to the west and quickly disappeared into the woods.

"I know."

Wang Shan looked ahead and said in a low voice, "Almost all the people who appear to be lurking in the woods outside the city are mountain bandits and robbers, and they all have some skills."

If we pass by and see this, we must pretend we didn't see it, and absolutely mustn't make a sound, otherwise, they might very well kill us.

"Murder? This place isn't far from the city gate. Aren't they afraid of being arrested by the authorities?" Lin Xiaofei asked in surprise.

It should be noted that there are soldiers stationed near the city gate, not too far from here.

"Arrest people? They're all robbers and bandits, incredibly skilled. If you mess with them, you'll face endless trouble."

Some time ago, a wealthy family from the city was passing through here transporting a batch of goods when they were robbed by bandits. They haven't reported it to the authorities yet, which shows that the wealthy family is clearly afraid of the bandits; otherwise, they would have reported it to the authorities long ago.

Besides, countless people die every day in the vicinity outside the city. Some officers and soldiers are afraid of those bandits, so how can they capture them?

Although the government would investigate, it often came to nothing. Once a person was dead, they were treated like a dead dog; nobody cared.

Wang Shan shook his head coldly, pushed the cart, and quickened his pace.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei fell silent, feeling somewhat uneasy. He knew that in this world, strength was paramount; otherwise, it would be difficult to survive.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei and Qian Er followed Wang Shan to a huge medicinal herb field. Next to the field was a large herb market. Four people stood outside the gate, with knives at their waists. They were inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang.

As the autumn wind blows, a faint scent of herbs drifts on the breeze.

Lin Xiaofei knew they had arrived at the herb farm.

It was a spacious and long house, bright and well-lit inside.

There were forty or fifty low wooden shelves piled high with green herbs, which looked as if they had just been pulled from the ground and were very fresh.

Lin Xiaofei moved closer and took a gentle sniff. A faint, earthy scent filled his nostrils, which was refreshing.

I watched as a dozen or so people were arranging herbs on a wooden shelf. A small portion of the herbs were dried, but most were fresh.

Just then, Lin Xiaofei arrived at the perfect time. A burly man, holding a large broom, was gathering the remaining roots and branches of herbs from the ground into a pile and then walking out of the herb field, as if he intended to dump them.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at it and quickly followed, seeing him dump the remaining roots and branches of the herbs directly into the field near the house.

Soon, Lin Xiaofei went over and searched through the remnants of medicinal herbs.

"This is the seventh one."

Lin Xiaofei glanced at the remaining roots and branches of the herb in his hand, and was overjoyed. He quickly put it into his spatial bead.

Lin Xiaofei made a new discovery about the space bead: it can be used like a cloth bag, where you can put your hand in and easily put the things in your hand into it.

"Brother Wang, you're here. We have freshly dug ginseng, monkey tail grass, apple grass, and other fresh plants. You can choose whichever kind you want."

Also, this wooden rack is full of Polygonum multiflorum. Look, this one is quite big. If you want it, I'll ship it out right away; it'll be ready in a little while.

A burly man saw Wang Shan enter the herb market and quickly came over, smiling as he spoke.

"Give me 500 monkey tail grass plants and 400 apple grass plants."

"Give me 150 He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), and 200 of everything else."

Wang Shan smiled and spoke directly to the man.

"We'll ship it to you right away!"

The man looked delighted, turned around, walked towards a young man, whispered a few words, and then called to a few people to take the herbs from the wooden shelf.

Many hands make light work. A dozen or so people working together selected herbs quickly and then loaded them directly onto a large cart.

"All the herbs here were grown by me for my own people. Half of them are used to make pills, and the other half are sent to the county town."

Seeing that Lin Xiaofei was very curious about this place, Wang Shan smiled and said.

Lin Xiaofei smiled. He really wanted to take some herbs from here and put them directly into his spatial bead.

After thinking about it, they decided against it. There were people watching their every move, and it wouldn't be good if they were caught red-handed.

Seeing that the herbs Uncle Wang wanted would take a while to be fully loaded onto the cart, Lin Xiaofei wandered outside the house.

Half an hour later, the various kinds of herbs that were needed were loaded onto the large cart one after another. At this time, Wang Shan waved to Lin Xiaofei, preparing to leave.

"Finding the remnants of thirty-five herbs is not bad."

Lin Xiaofei had already searched through the pile of discarded herbal residue and soil three or four times, and was very satisfied with his haul.

If you come every day, you can get more than 30 herbs a day, and in ten days you can get more than 300 herbs.

The remnants of herbs planted on the black soil will be equivalent to two months of growth in five days. Once five days have passed, he can start consuming the herbs, and then he can accelerate the cultivation of the Green Peak Leg technique to perfection.

The mastery of Qingfeng Leg had greatly enhanced his leg strength. He didn't feel tired at all after walking from the city to here. The benefits of practicing martial arts were obvious, and he was looking forward to it.

However, if I want to be with Uncle Wang every day, he has to agree.

"Uncle Wang, this cart is full of herbs!"

Lin Xiaofei glanced at the herbs laid out on the cart, then quickly stepped forward and helped push the cart.

With the power generated in their legs, the cart moved even faster under a strong push.

"You're not very big, but you're surprisingly strong. I almost misjudged you."

Wang Shan was slightly surprised, and then smiled.

This dirt road was already difficult to push a cart on, and now that the cart was loaded with a lot of herbs, the weight of the cart increased, making it even more difficult to walk on.

Now, with Lin Xiaofei joining in, pushing the large cart has become much easier.

"Hehe, my mom told me that I was born with extraordinary strength, and I still am to this day."

Without blushing or panting, Lin Xiaofei made up a lie and said with a smile.

"Actually, I should have seen it coming a long time ago."

You were chopping wood in the backyard, and I watched your movements; they were clean and efficient.

If I'm not mistaken, you should have mastered the basics of the Green Peak Leg technique. Also, how did you end up as a menial disciple?

Wang Shan thought for a moment, then asked in confusion.

Disciples with greater strength will find it much easier to practice common martial arts like the Green Peak Leg, and should be the ones the gang focuses on supporting.
