Several burly figures walked out of the woods, their flashlights sweeping over.
A man's hesitant voice sounded: "A Shu?"
Qin Shu pulled Amuti aside and walked forward to greet him: "Uncle, it's me. I'm here to get the purple gold bead flower."
When Amuti heard that they were members of the Qin family, the murderous aura lingering around him dissipated a lot.
Qin Shu turned around and explained to Xie Lanzhi and the others: "These people are all from the Qin family. They are here to protect the medicinal materials."
Amu asked: "Do medicinal materials still need protection?"
Qin Shu smiled and said, "It takes twenty years for the purple gold bead flower to bloom and bear fruit. The Qin family is guarding here to prevent wild animals and birds from harming it."
Xie Lanzhi walked in front of Qin Shu and glanced at Amuti and others.
"Put away all your guns and don't scare anyone."
Everyone put away their weapons in a well-trained manner and returned to their original positions.
Qin Shu walked up to the tribesmen and exchanged greetings, then headed to the purple gold pearl flower breeding ground.
A small piece of purple-gold pearl flower sparkled with purple-gold light under the moonlight, swaying like gorgeous golden satin.
Xie Lanzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Very beautiful."
He had never seen such beautiful herbs with a faint sacred glow.
Qin Shu took out an exquisite wooden box from the bamboo basket, walked to the flowers and began to pick them.
“These flowers look beautiful, but they are very delicate. In bad years and rainy seasons, their roots under the soil and rocks will rot.
When my grandfather was alive, he only harvested the purple gold bead flowers twice when they were mature. This was the one he planted during his lifetime, and it was also the first time I picked the purple gold bead flowers by myself. "
At the end, there was a hint of loss and sadness in his tone.
Xie Lanzhi stood outside the enclosed herb garden and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"
Qin Shu said without even looking up: "Not for now, just hand me the medicine box later."
She squatted in front of a purple gold bead flower, carefully passed her hand around the vine, cut off the delicate golden flowers, and dropped them into the wooden box below.
This flower is poisonous and cannot be touched with your hands before it is dried.
It is also one of the important medicinal ingredients in the Qin family's secret longevity medicine.
An hour later.
Qin Shu harvested a whole field of purple gold pearl flowers and filled two wooden boxes.
"This year's harvest is neither good nor bad, but it's enough."
She handed the wooden box to Xie Lanzhi: "Take it, I have to plant the purple gold bead flowers again."
"good--"
Xie Lanzhi stood outside the herb garden, looking at Qin Shu quietly with gentle eyes.
Time passed slowly, and he was not impatient at all. His mind and eyes were filled with Qin Shu's busy figure.
"Bang--"
Suddenly, deafening gunshots rang out.
In an instant, dozens of figures came forward and protected Xie Lanzhi layer by layer.
Amuti and his guards looked coldly towards the woods at the foot of the mountain where the gunshots were heard.
Xie Lanzhi shouted to Qin Shu: "Ah Shu, come here!"
Qin Shu seemed not to have heard it and continued to plant the purple gold bead flowers leisurely.
Several members of the Qin family walked out of the cement and wooden house built nearby, and the man who had spoken to Qin Shu before stood up.
He laughed and said, "Don't worry. The people below can't come up. You can't come up without someone to lead the way. Unless you tear down this mountain, it will be useless even if a great immortal comes."
Qin Shu finished planting the herbs in her hands, stood up straight, and looked up to find Xie Lanzhi.
But she found that the person was standing two meters away, staring at her with deep black eyes.
Xie Lanzhi stretched out his hand: "Come here——"
Qin Shu sensed Xie Lanzhi's worry and nervousness, walked slowly forward, and placed her hand in the man's warm palm.
Xie Lanzhi exerted force on his hands and pulled Qin Shu into his arms.
He said, "It's not safe in the mountains, let's go back."
If you are not sure who the gunshots are directed at, it is safest to retreat at this time.
Qin Shu shook her head and refused: "Maybe someone is poaching. You don't need to be so nervous. And if there is any danger, this is the safest place. No one can come up."
Xie Lanzhi pursed his lips and said, "I'm worried about my parents and my son."
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows: "Then there is no need to worry, they are safe."
Since Xie Lan took office, every member of the Qin family has the ability to protect themselves. The most frightening thing is the invisible poison that can kill people from a hundred meters away.
Whenever the dogs in the village approached the Qin family’s gate, they would howl in disbelief and run away with their tails between their legs.
Not to mention those who came and wanted to take action against the Qin family.
“Bang! Bang——!”
The gunshots rang out again and became more frequent.
Amuti was on high alert, and raised his voice to ask, "The gunshots seem to be getting closer, Brother Lan, do you want me to go down the mountain to take a look?"
Without waiting for Xie Lanzhi to speak, Qin Shu said coldly: "Don't go, be less curious, it will save your life."
After saying this, she let go of Xie Lanzhi's hand and continued to plant medicinal herbs.
Xie Lanzhi said to Amuti: "Listen to Ah Shu."
He looked at Qin Shu inquiringly.
Qin Shu seemed to have changed.
She became rational, calm, almost cold-blooded.
I feel indifferent, as if I am detached from this world.
"Bang!"
“Bang! Bang——!”
The sound of gunfire continued from the foot of the mountain.
A few minutes later, the fireworks signal that was lit in the night sky changed everyone's expression.
Qin Shu frowned as she watched the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Amuti exclaimed, "Brother Lan! They are from the Longting Special Operations Brigade!"
Qin Shu gritted her teeth and dropped the tools in her hand: "Amuti, bring a few people with me down the mountain!"
Xie Lanzhi's face darkened: "I'll go too!"
Qin Shu put down her rolled-up sleeves and said calmly, "After we get down the mountain, Amuti and the others will definitely take care of your safety first, and they will be distracted when saving people."
Xie Lanzhi's eyebrows were knitted together, and he had the illusion that he was a mascot.
If it were anyone else, he would have been furious.
Xie Lanzhi took a deep breath and said calmly: "Ashu, have you forgotten that I have been working in the army since I was a child? I was the one who brought Amuti up, and even the Longting Special Operations Brigade was founded by me. The current highest commander of the army, Chu Lianying, is not my opponent."
Qin Shu thought about it and felt that she was being too picky.
Xie Lanzhi is a man who has experienced the smoke of war. We cannot ignore his abilities just because of his current identity.
Gunshots rang out again at the foot of the mountain. Qin Shu nodded and said, "Let's hurry up!"
In the woods that block out the sun.
A group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms evacuated quickly.
"Captain! Put me down, and retreat first!"
A wounded man was supported forward and pleaded weakly.
"Luo Jun! Shut up!"
The man leading the way in front roared in a low voice.
Luo Jun's face was pale and blood kept gushing out from the gunshot wound on his left leg.
He grabbed the sleeve of one of his comrades and said, "Please persuade the captain. I'm injured and can't leave. You have to get out alive. Our mission is not yet completed. We can't all die here!"
