Chapter 78 Digging Pueraria

"It's in the Daqing Mountain. I found it when I was picking mushrooms." Liu Xinyi glanced at Mu Bai and continued, "There are a lot of kudzu roots in that area, enough for us to eat. But it's deep in the Daqing Mountain. Captain Tang, do you want to take people to dig it?"

This piece of kudzu root was mentioned by Grandpa Hao in the cowshed in the previous life. In fact, it was discovered by Mu Bai. Because the credit was attributed to Hao Dezhong, the villagers were very grateful to Hao Dezhong, and their lives in the cowshed became much better.

Shen Ruoqing raised an eyebrow. Deep mountains? Liu Xinyi dared to run into the deep mountains? She herself had only been there twice because she had space.

There is definitely something wrong with this Liu Xinyi!

"What's there to be afraid of in the deep mountains? People are starving to death, so why would anyone care whether it's deep in the mountains or not?" Captain Tang said, "Where is this patch of kudzu root? You lead the way, and everyone pack up. We'll go dig it this afternoon. The educated youth can come with us."

The crowd dispersed.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the villagers gathered, each holding a sickle and a hoe, and carrying a bamboo basket. Captain Tang required everyone to go, except the elderly and children. With more people, there was no need to worry about encountering wild animals.

Everyone followed Liu Xinyi and headed towards Daqing Mountain.

Along the way, Ji Meihua kept saying that her granddaughter was selfless and was trying various ways to ask for benefits from Captain Tang.

"If we really find that large patch of Pueraria root, Xinyi will have made a great contribution to the team, and the team will not treat her unfairly." Captain Tang said.

"What merit or no merit? Our girl Xinyi just wants to contribute to the team." Ji Meihua smiled.

Shen Ruoqing held a sickle. The Daqing Mountains were rich in resources. They had already picked a lot of wild fruits and hunted a wild boar, but the road was a bit difficult to walk on.

After walking for an hour, someone in the crowd complained, "Xinyi, are you sure you found the Kudzu field? Why are we getting further and further away? We've been walking for so long, why haven't we reached our destination yet?"

Liu Xinyi was confident: "Do you see the big willow tree in front? It's just down the slope below the big willow tree. Captain Tang, quickly get the rope."

Captain Tang was stunned and quickly asked people to tie the rope to the tree trunk.

"No wonder you asked me to take a rope when we went up the mountain. It turns out that the kudzu field is right below!" This place is so remote and downhill, no wonder it has not been discovered. I don't know how Liu Xinyi found this place.

Captain Tang looked down the steep slope and said, "Who goes down first?"

At this time, Liu Xinyi had already retreated to the side. She didn't know what was happening below, so she would not take the risk.

"I'll do it."

"I'll do it."

Several young men raised their hands in response, and finally Captain Tang selected four people to go down and check the situation first.

After a while, there was a noise from below: "Captain, there is indeed kudzu root down there! This whole area is full of it! And it's quite old!"

When these words came up, the crowd let out sounds of joy.

"It's really Kudzu field. Now we don't have to go hungry anymore."

People went down slowly one by one.

When it was Shen Ruoqing's turn, she tied her waist with a rope, revealing her slender waist. Many young men in the crowd felt their ears warm and their eyes burned. Usually, the girls wore loose and thick clothes, and their figures could not be seen, but now it was a feast for the eyes.

Facing these gazes, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangxi directly blocked Shen Ruoqing's way and glared at the crowd!

What are these bastards looking at?

Shen Ruoqing pulled the rope, looked down in the direction of the slope, and jumped lightly.

She was falling quite fast and it was obvious that she was very agile.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, which startled everyone. At this time, Liu Xinyi suddenly smiled coldly, pulled out the sickle in her hand, and cut it lightly! Then she pretended to be panicked and shouted: "The rope is broken!"

Just now, everyone was shocked by the thunder. In addition, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangxi built a wall to block the sight of others. Liu Xinyi was sure that no one noticed her little move. There were some sharp stones under the slope. This time, Shen Ruoqing would definitely fall and get a bloody head.

"Little sister!" Shen Xiangdong screamed and quickly lay down to look down. At such a high altitude, with dense branches below, even if he didn't die from the fall, he would be scratched all over.

At this time, dense raindrops were falling and the sky was getting darker.

Shen Ruoqing gritted her teeth. She didn't expect the rope to break. She could only try to control her body and fall to where there were thin branches. There were villagers waiting below to pick her up. She couldn't enter the space in public.

"Little sister!" Shen Xiangnan, who was at the bottom of the slope, noticed the person falling and hurried to catch Shen Ruoqing in the direction where she was falling, but there was someone who reacted faster than him.

Shen Ruoqing broke several thin branches when she fell, which also had a certain deceleration effect. But when she saw the sharp stones below, Shen Ruoqing's heart sank. She could only use both hands to protect her head. If she fell like this, she would definitely be injured.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Ruoqing was about to land, Mu Bai stood up and jumped over, holding her and rolling several times in the kudzu field.

Shen Xiangnan hurried over to check: "Little sister, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I'm fine." Mu Bai hugged her. Apart from some minor scratches from tree branches, Shen Ruoqing had no other wounds on her body.

Seeing that Shen Ruoqing was fine, Mu Bai quickly let her go: "This is an emergency. I'm sorry for the offense."

Shen Xiangnan helped Shen Ruoqing up and looked him up and down, "Your clothes are torn and your arms are bleeding. You still think you're okay? If our mom knew you were like this, she would definitely punish us three brothers when she got home! What happened to you? Why did you fall down from up there?"

Shen Ruoqing touched the wound on his arm and only then did he feel the pain.

"I don't know what happened. The rope suddenly broke. Thanks to Mu Zhiqing's diving, I took off a lot of the force. Otherwise, I would have been crippled if not dead after falling from such a high altitude onto those rocks." Although Shen Ruoqing felt that she would not die, she was definitely injured. If it weren't for Mu Bai, how could she have been so relaxed with only a few scratches? Mu Bai also had several scratches on his body, but he didn't care at all, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Little sister! Little sister, are you okay?" Shen Handong shouted loudly on the slope. Because of the rain, they could only hear it now.

"Brother! I'm fine!"

Hearing his younger sister's voice, Shen Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Xinyi secretly resented in her heart, how could Shen Ruoqing be so lucky? She couldn't even be killed by this fall! "All of you down there, come up first, the rain is getting heavier, Captain Tang said it's not safe to go dig kudzu roots now!"

Shen Ruoqing responded, and the people who had come down to dig Pueraria root stopped digging and ran over.

"Miss Ruoqing fell down just now. It was so scary!"

"Why did the rope break?"
