Chapter 122: Ageratum
In the pit stood a short plant less than 10 centimeters long, with pale pink branches covered with short white hairs. On top of its head grew small purple flowers, the size of a fingernail, shaped like a chrysanthemum that had been shrunk many times.
Although this kind of grass is often seen in the fields in the north, it is not cold-resistant. Chu Qiao did not expect to see it in Tianshan Mountains.
Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Yaner. This guy had hazy eyes and looked confused.
This little guy has no idea how much help he has given.
Chu Qiao picked up Xiaoyan and kissed her.
"You are so lucky. You dug up this treasure instead of digging anywhere else."
Netizens couldn't help but laugh in the live broadcast room:
"Hahaha, Master Chu is excited."
"Although the little eyes are cute, there's no need to be like this."
"Don't spit on our little eyes."
"Now you don't mind our small eyes anymore?"
Chu Qiao dug up the plants in the pit with their roots.
"What treasure did Master Chu pick up?"
"A blade of grass?"
"What's the story?"
Chu Qiao supported himself with his hands and slowly sat down on the sand, holding the grass in front of the camera. "This grass is called Ageratum, and it usually grows in valleys, on the edges of fields, and on wasteland. Although it has no particular requirements for soil, it is not cold-resistant or heat-resistant. The temperature difference in the Tianshan Mountains is huge, and I didn't expect to see it here."
"However, the temperature here is probably also the reason why it grows so short. In fact, this plant can sometimes grow up to one meter tall."
"Master Chu, don't keep me in suspense. What's the use of it?"
"They can be eaten, of course. What other fate do the plants found by Master Chu have?"
"This little bit is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Chu Qiao looked at the grass in his hand and looked around.
The little snow leopard rolled around in her arms, trying to attract her attention. Chu Qiao responded perfunctorily while looking around.
The little snow leopard's nose twitched, and it suddenly broke free from Chu Qiao's hand and stumbled towards Chu Qiao's back.
Chu Qiao had difficulty getting up and could only yell, "Where are you going again?"
The little snow leopard was halfway through its run when it suddenly braked, jerked its little head forward, and sank into the sand.
Chu Qiao shook his head helplessly, put away the herbs, and went to rescue the useless Xiao Yaner.
Xiaoyan got up, shook his head, picked up a few pieces of grass in his mouth, and pulled them hard.
Chu Qiao walked closer and closer and found that the grass that Xiaoyan was pulling out of his mouth was actually Agastache rugosa.
She was overjoyed. She had just said that there was too little of this thing and it was not enough as a medicinal material, but now she had it.
Chu Qiao went over and touched Xiaoyan's head, and pulled up the grass that he couldn't pull out by the roots.
Netizens were instantly moved by the cute little eyes:
"Xiaoyan just came here to look for this?"
"I'll never say it's useless again."
"We, Xiaoyan, are not a burden."
Chu Qiao sat down on the spot and said with a smile: "Little Eyes, you did a good job."
As she spoke, she knocked the dirt off the ageratum on her shoes, pulled out the roots, and threw them directly into her mouth.
Chu Qiao chewed it a few times and then spit it out.
"Master Chu, this is a bit disgusting."
"What do you mean, you can't eat it?"
"Is it poisonous? Throw it away quickly."
Chu Qiao smiled and rolled up his trouser leg with one hand: "This is a medicinal herb. Taken internally, it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and treat colds. If applied externally, it can reduce swelling, relieve pain, and stop bleeding. This plant is also very common in both the north and south, so if you sprain your ankle or get a minor scrape when you're out and about, you can apply it externally."
As Chu Qiao spoke, he had already applied a layer of patchouli on his right ankle.
She took out the remaining parachute cloth strips and wrapped the applied area to prevent the herbs from falling off after drying.
On the other side, Chu Qiao also plucked all the patchouli around.
A cool feeling instantly came over my ankle, and the pain was suppressed by the cool feeling, and it immediately felt much better.
Chu Qiao slowly stood up. Although the swelling on her ankle would not disappear quickly, the stimulation brought by the cool feeling made her more flexible.
Chu Qiao grabbed Xiaoyan into his arms and walked quickly towards the destination, his speed obviously much faster.
The sun sets, about two hours later.
"drop--"
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission and received a large gift package as a mission reward. Please check it as soon as possible."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a telepathic animal."
Chu Qiao was stunned and looked at the little thing in her arms. It was such a small baby, she had no time to take care of it.
"Sorry host, due to the limited number of equipment for the current elves, I cannot become your elf for the time being."
Chu Qiao shook his head, and the system sound disappeared from his mind.
Thinking about the 400,000 gold coins he had received, which would be equivalent to 800,000 Beidou coins when converted into them, Chu Qiao suddenly felt in a good mood and smiled unconsciously.
"Oh my god, why is Mr. Chu smiling so happily?"
"I guess Mr. Chu must have completed his scheduled mission."
Plus One
Chu Qiao quickly explained, "Thank you all for your company along the way. I have reached my destination for this mission. Although I encountered many difficulties along the way, I was able to escape unscathed. See you on the next wilderness mission."
Chu Qiao turned off the live broadcast, and soon, a sound came from the distance.
“Thump, thump, thump—”
Faintly, a beach motorcycle was rushing towards Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao, who didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy, stuffed his eyes into his chest, found a big rock in the sand, squatted down and leaned against it, and became alert.
I saw a woman in a flowing red dress sitting on the driver's seat of the whizzing beach motorcycle, her curly hair fluttering in the wind, leaving a trail of flying dust behind the car.
Chu Qiao has good eyesight. When he saw the familiar figure, he slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't that Sister Ao?"
Chu Qiao raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Sister Ao, I'm here."
The sound of the motorcycle drowned out Chu Qiao's voice, and Chu Qiao kept waving his backpack.
After running a few hundred meters, Chen Ao finally saw Chu Qiao in the rearview mirror.
The beach scooter drifted in an instant, and with a "hiss" sound, it came from not far away.
When the motorcycle stopped beside Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao gave a thumbs up: "Sister Ao, you... have good skills."
Sister Ao raised her head and said, "I do have a motorcycle license."
After saying that, he frowned and looked at Chu Qiao's feet. "Can you do it? I'll come down and help you."
Chu Qiao quickly shook his head: "No, it makes me look embarrassed."
As Chu Qiao spoke, he pressed the seat with one hand, bent his legs, swung, and stepped onto the seat.
As soon as Sister Ao turned the accelerator, the car rushed out like an arrow from a bow. Chu Qiao clearly felt a push on his back.
Xiaoyan became agitated and struggled to get out of Chu Qiao's arms, looking at Chen Ao curiously.
The beach scooter suddenly flew up and passed over a small hill. Xiaoyan was frightened and bared his teeth, meowing at Chen Ao.
Chen Ao couldn't help but complain: "Through the screen, it's not that exaggerated. When you listen to it, it's no different from a cat's meow."
Chu Qiao curled her lips and said, "Sister Ao, don't underestimate me because I'm just a well-behaved kitten now. When I grow up, I can bite off one of your hands in one bite."
After saying that, she closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and enjoyed the fast speed of the car. This was what driving felt like.
