Having not set foot in the back mountain for several years, the map is now covered with many more colored icons.
Since there were no large ferocious beasts in the outer area for the time being, Jiang Yue, along with San Tiao and Si Tong, began to dig for medicinal herbs from the outer area.
However, in order to get the two away first, she led them to pick common but older herbs.
In about half an hour, their baskets were full.
"San Tiao, take four bamboo tubes and deliver the herbs to the foot of the mountain. Talk to the villagers and ask them to help deliver them home. Then exchange them for some empty bamboo baskets."
Jiang Yue's trick wasn't particularly clever, but it worked.
On their way there, they encountered some enthusiastic villagers who promised to meet them at the foot of the mountain. After a little thought, San Tiao and Si Tong agreed.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two were away, Jiang Yue parted the bushes and captured the real targets one by one!
As the rare medicinal herbs entered the system space, the system interface, visible only to her, flashed continuously.
The points balance rose rapidly, soon reaching four figures.
Not enough, still not enough. To redeem the most important special medicine, you must earn a seven-figure balance of points!
Further research is needed!
At the center, there are even rarer medicinal plants, whose points are unimaginable!
However, there are three red dots around it, which means it's very dangerous!
Jiang Yue hesitated. Although she possessed a weapon, she worried that if she went rashly, something bad might happen to her...
Indeed, once a person has something to worry about, they become vulnerable.
Her concern was for her descendants.
She promised Qingshan she would return safely, promised her daughter she would name her daughter's new medicine, and promised her granddaughter she would make rock sugar pear soup for her...
"Your Highness~"
"We're here to help you!"
“Third sister-in-law, how can we let you go into the mountains to find medicine alone? Every family has children who are sick, and we are all willing to do our part.”
"Folks, how could you~"
"Eldest brother, second brother, you..."
"We heard from people coming down the mountain that we encountered you leading your servants into the mountain, so..."
Wu Dalang explained, "So they gave a shout and called out all the able-bodied people in the village who could come out."
Each of them carried a carrying pole, sickle, axe, machete, basket, rope...
Even the patrol team members were contacted by the village chief, and almost all of them were called in, wielding several large machetes and leading the charge...
Looking at the dozens of people who came to her aid, it would be a lie to say Jiang Yue wasn't moved.
After the initial感动 (feeling of being moved), the more practical issues arose. With so many people coming, the safety factor was increased, but a new problem emerged: how would she store the rare medicinal herbs into her system space?
"Everyone, pay attention and follow my instructions."
Making the best of a bad situation, Jiang Yue decided to take this group of people with her and work together in a coordinated attack!
"Those with martial arts skills, those with knives, step forward and apply this anesthetic to the blades of your knives and daggers. If you have a sickle, apply it to it too."
Jiang Yue took out the anesthetic from the system space, of course, using her bamboo basket to retrieve it.
She didn't want to be able to retrieve things from afar and make people think she was a monster!
Out of an instinct of trust, everyone complied.
Most of the people brought their tools, and after applying the brown medicine, they felt completely safe.
The other small group carried mostly items such as hemp rope, bamboo baskets, and carrying poles, all of which proved useful.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Yue divided the villagers into two teams.
One of them led the way, informing her of the dangers beforehand, and telling her to leave as soon as possible if she regretted it or was afraid.
To her relief, no one fell behind; everyone carefully kept up with the group.
Since that's the case, let's loot it.
With the system acting as a cheating tool, all dangers were eliminated thanks to Jiang Yue's advance warning, allowing the team to quickly remove any threats.
The team behind them hurried to dig up the medicinal herbs that the county magistrate had ordered them to dig. Once the bamboo baskets were full, they were put into sacks!
In any case, wherever it went, "not a blade of grass grew."
Actually, this efficiency was faster than she had expected.
Although they encountered danger during the process, the presence of anesthetic on the blade, along with her reminders and foresight, allowed everyone to escape danger on several occasions.
Unconsciously, this enhanced her status and influence in the eyes of others.
Those present were deeply moved. The county magistrate, disregarding her own safety, took only two servants and ventured deep into the mountains to find medicine for their descendants...
That's wonderful!
Jiang Yue had no idea what others were thinking, but she took advantage of the chaos to collect a lot of good quality medicinal herbs.
The system points balance has increased rapidly again, breaking through five figures!
But it's still a long way off before we meet the standards for exchanging rare potions.
Suddenly, the system page started flashing wildly—rare medicinal herbs that could move?
Jiang Yue was a little dumbfounded. She then suggested taking a break, took out some dry rations, and gestured for San Tiao and Si Tong to distribute them. She then excused herself to use the restroom and temporarily left the group's sight.
No one suspected anything. It was natural for a woman to take her time to relieve herself, and it was only right for her to keep her distance. They expressed their understanding.
You may try to plant willows with good intentions, but they won't grow; you may try to plant rice seedlings without good
What was that again?
Jiang Yue quickly blocked the moving object, then tentatively untied the red rope wrapped around her wrist...
These are the tools my granddaughter said she wanted to use to learn how to braid hair, and they've been on her wrist ever since; she hasn't wanted to take them off.
Speaking of which, could it be that thing in the field that she missed out on a few years ago?
"Pfft~"
The little ginseng, its head bound by a red rope, spat out a mouthful of saliva, which landed squarely on the bewildered Jiang Yue's face...
It's true, there are fairies!
Jiang Yue wiped the drool off her face, then expressionlessly put it into her system space.
The next second—
The balance and points keep flashing, showing no sign of stopping...
We've won so much!
There really are ginseng spirits that have become sentient!
I missed out on it a few years ago, but this time, by some twist of fate, I got it without any problems!
The overwhelming surprise almost made Jiang Yue lose her mind; she wanted to spin around on the spot!
"Help!"
"Little Ginseng King has been captured by the humans in front of us!"
"Waaaah, I'm not grown up yet, don't eat me!"
"Quick, hide! Don't let this human find you!"
......
Jiang Yue's face cracked. It seemed that after being spat on by the little ginseng spirit, she could hear the thoughts of plants!
After a brief moment of surprise, she verified the truth by parting the dense grass and digging up the few unknown herbs that were chattering, or rather, trembling.
"I'm dying, please don't worry about me. A hundred years from now, I'll be a beautiful blade of grass again."
"Brother Jiangzhu, no! We promised to be together forever, we promised never to be apart, you—"
"Have you said enough? I just wanted to dig you up and invite you to my home. If you keep this up, I'll cut off your roots and kill you on the spot!"
Jiang Yue picked at her ear and impatiently tossed the few blades of grass into the bamboo basket.
Instantly, all was quiet...
