Old Zheng reacted and quickly shook his head.
"No, no, I was just kidding! Oh, sister-in-law, don't cry! It's all my fault. Why did I bring this up? Now Tingyue's life or death is still uncertain... Ouch!"
He felt a sharp pain in his back, and he almost jumped up in pain. It was obvious that Old Li had pressed his wound hard again.
Taking another look at Song Shiwei, whose tears were already falling, Lao Zheng quickly slapped himself in the face.
"Look at me, I'm really talking about something that's not relevant! Sister-in-law, let's not talk about anything else. Once I change the medicine, we'll set off quickly to find Tingyue and the others. Tingyue is a lucky man, and he will be fine!"
Old Li also nodded quickly: "Yes, it's okay, it's definitely okay!"
From the conversation, he could also hear that the man named Zhou Tingyue was the little girl's husband. If it wasn't for her husband, why would she, a little girl, put herself in danger!
Song Shiwei wiped her tears and waved her hands.
"It's okay, Brother Zheng, I don't blame you. It's all my fault for not controlling my emotions. Once you change the medicine, we really need to leave quickly. I'm afraid... after so many days, Tingyue and the others..."
Old Li quickly tied a bow behind his back and nodded, "Got it! We all get it! Okay, let's go!"
Old Zheng didn't realize that Old Li had tied a bow on his back. He quickly put on his tattered coat and stood up proudly: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!!"
As a result, when she turned around, Song Shiwei almost laughed out loud when she saw the bow sticking out from the hole in his clothes.
Old Li winked at her and smiled smugly.
Take out a Xiaoyao pill from the bag.
"Boy, take this pill quickly. Although most of the snake venom has been eliminated, there is still some residual poison left!"
Lao Zheng hurriedly and obediently took the pill. The pill was very bitter and he had to save some water, so he simply put it in his mouth and chewed it.
This chewing almost made him cry bitter tears.
"Uncle Li, why is your medicine so bitter today?"
Old Li smiled and blinked.
"Because I added some extra coptis root for you, it clears away heat and detoxifies, so it's very effective!"
Looking at him, Old Zheng couldn't believe it, but he swallowed it down despite the pain.
This made Song Shiwei's last bit of sadness disappear.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh out loud.
Old Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.
"Alright, alright, let's go! Let's get out of this stone forest as soon as possible. This forest is huge and we probably still have to walk for half a day!"
However, thanks to Song Shiwei's watch, everyone kept walking in one direction and soon got out of the stone forest.
Entering into a forest.
Old Li feels somewhat familiar with this forest.
"It's safe here. This is the farthest I've ever been, and then I turned back. There are a lot of herbs here! Some are very precious!"
He made a lot of money by selling several medicinal herbs he dug here.
At that time, I was lucky enough to find a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Song Shiwei looked at the small woods in front of him and indeed discovered a lot of things.
Maybe it was because it rained two days ago, so there were a lot of chicken leg mushrooms growing in the woods.
This chicken leg mushroom is delicious whether it is stir-fried or stewed in soup!
Unfortunately, there is no time to pick mushrooms now, and they have to hurry to find Zhou Tingyue.
Old Li had obviously thought of this as well, and looked around with some regret.
I could only pick some herbs that passed by my feet.
Just then, he noticed a cluster of red fruits.
At that time, I couldn't walk anymore.
Song Shiwei followed his gaze.
Apparently, it also discovered a few small red fruits that could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
"Uncle Li, it's ginseng!"
Old Li nodded with some heartache.
"Yes, it's ginseng!"
Unfortunately, digging ginseng takes a long time. They have important things to do now, and human lives are at stake. How can they have time to dig ginseng?
Old Zheng naturally knew how precious ginseng was.
But he was more concerned about Zhou Tingyue!
"Uncle Li, how about we go find Tingyue and the others first?"
Old Li sighed and nodded with some regret.
"I understand!! Let's go!!"
Song Shiwei carefully noted the location of the ginseng.
"Uncle Li, once we find Tingyue and the others, we'll definitely need to return the same way! I promise you, as long as we find them, we'll accompany you here to dig ginseng. No matter what, we'll help you find more medicinal herbs for you to take away! What do you think?"
"Are you serious??"
Old Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
Song Shiwei immediately smiled and nodded: "I promise!!"
“Okay!! Okay, okay!!”
Old Li was obviously happy, and he walked with a breeze.
"Let's find someone quickly!!"
It would be best if they could find it today so they can come back and dig ginseng.
As a Chinese medicine practitioner, seeing that precious medicinal herbs cannot be dug up is like a group of kittens scratching his heart desperately, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable!
Although Old Li said this forest is quite safe, you still have to be careful of snakes, insects, and poisonous ants.
They took out the herbal juice that Old Li had given them and smeared it all over their exposed skin.
The forest is not big, about twenty or thirty meters away.
After leaving the forest, the view in front of me suddenly opened up. It was a wetland-like area with water stains and continuous water plants on it.
As soon as Song Shiwei stepped down, the entire lawn sank and the water soaked the soles of her shoes.
Lao Zheng walked fast and was very strong. When he stepped down, his calf sank directly into the ground!
Song Shiwei and Old Li were so scared that they quickly pulled him out.
Old Zheng's face turned pale.
"What is this thing? Why is it still sinking? This grass is eating people!"
This was also Old Li's first time here. He had walked to the woods and then returned, so he had no idea about the situation here.
However, I have heard of legends that there is a man-eating quagmire in Death Valley, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the quagmire.
Song Shiwei also frowned.
She pressed her hand on the grass in front of her.
The lawn was easily pressed down.
There seems to be a big elastic water ball underneath.
"Uncle Li, can you lend me the shovel you brought?"
She planned to dig a little to see what was underneath. If it was all water, it would be easy. She could just move the water plants aside and swim over.
If it's a swamp, it will be really difficult to deal with!
Old Li quickly handed her the small shovel tied to his back.
Song Shiwei dug a big hole in the water grass in front of him.
There is water underneath!
Old Zheng's face lit up with joy.
"So it's water! It's easy if it's water, we just need to swim over!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Shiwei's face change: "No! There is no water below!"
