Chapter 260: First Meeting with Herbal Medicine Expert Mr. Mo
Chu Qiao endured the loss of feeling on the soles of his feet and continued to climb upwards.
Starting from halfway up the mountain, the steepness of the slope was daunting. Chu Qiao could no longer walk upright and had to use his hands and feet to climb up the slope. His fingers sank deeply into the sand, causing the skin to be broken, red and swollen!
After climbing from noon to sunset in the afternoon, Chu Qiao finally reached the top of the mountain after a whole day of conquest.
The temperature on the top of the mountain dropped suddenly, and Chu Qiao shivered, hugging his arms.
While it was still light, she looked around the high ground for a place to shelter.
Suddenly, there was movement behind her. Four men in thick cold-proof clothes grabbed the climbing ropes and quickly climbed up the hillside.
When it came to Teksen and his group, Teksen said coldly, revealing his crooked teeth: "It seems that your speed is not very fast."
Chu Qiang didn't expect that these people were even faster than she imagined.
She didn't say anything. Her purpose was to find Ephedra sinica, not to argue with Taxon.
Chu Qiao walked to the side and sat on the ground, away from Tyson.
Tykson came over and shouted loudly, "Comrades, let's set up the tent."
Tekson and his team set up two large army-green tents. Tekson hammered nails into the Gobi Desert soil to stabilize the tents.
After finishing, Tykerson walked over to Chu Qiao and looked at the backpack lying around him. "Your equipment is too simple. Why don't you come stay with me here and spend the night with me?"
Everyone in Chu Qiao's livestream room clenched their fists, indignant.
Who does this Tyxon think he is?
Is she sick?
Is he a man?
Chu Qiao dragged his backpack a little further and spread it on the ground.
If it weren't for the danger of going down the mountain at night, she definitely wouldn't want to breathe the same air with Tyson.
"Texon, come here, don't waste time talking to her, we are not the same kind of people." The photographer waved at Texon while holding a pack of instant noodles.
Texon gave up and went back to light a bonfire, eating instant noodles and drinking milk.
Chu Qiao roasted slices of dried camel meat over the fire and stuffed them into his mouth.
On Texon's side, the herbal teacher who had been silent all the time finished his instant noodles and was closing his eyes, but suddenly he finally opened his eyes.
She put her hands behind her back and walked slowly towards Chu Qiao, pointing at the camel meat: "Where did you get it? Camel meat is hard to find nowadays."
Chu Qiao said cautiously, "I picked it up on the road."
The old man saw Chu Qiao's caution and said calmly, "It is suitable for people with insufficient Qi and blood, weak muscles and bones, and those suffering from chronic numbness and numbness."
Fans have a natural aversion to him because he is on Tykson's side.
[Where did this old scholar come from? ]
【Go find your own master, okay? 】
[Don't come here to seek a sense of existence from Master Chu. ]
Chu Qiao glanced at the camera, and fans who knew her could see the restraining look in her eyes. After all, she was an old woman, and she hadn't done anything harmful. Chu Qiao felt that what everyone said was too serious.
Moreover, Chu Qiao has always been able to distinguish things clearly and generally does not categorize people casually.
Even if this old scholar follows Teksen, it doesn't mean that she is as confused about right and wrong as Teksen.
"The old man is right. What's your name?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Just call me Lao Mo. Young man, you are so brave to come to this Gobi Desert without bringing anything with you."
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?"
The old man shook his head: "No, I'm doing it for the money."
Chu Qiao was stunned. The old man did not hide his desire at all. Although he looked to be nearly 70 years old, his eyes were still clear and bright, without a trace of concealment.
Thinking of this, Chu Qiao handed the freshly roasted head to the old man.
"Mr. Mo, try it. Although there is no seasoning, it tastes good." Mr. Mo stretched out his hand like an old vine, took the meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"This is the second time I've eaten camel meat. The first time was in the Sahara Desert. The old guys were trapped in the desert for the third day and finally couldn't help but eat camels."
"I straightened my back and refused to eat, but gave up after fainting the next day." The old man looked into the distance, his expression exactly the same as Chu Qiao's when he stabbed the camel.
Chu Qiao didn't know how to comfort this elderly man. The contradictory relationship between man and nature has been a difficult mystery since ancient times.
After a while, Chu Qiao finally said, "Is the meat delicious?"
Mo Lao nodded: "Good craftsmanship."
Chu Qiao: "We come from nature and give back to nature. Not only camels, but also humans. Sooner or later, we will be buried in the earth."
Just as Mr. Mo was about to stand up, his body trembled. Obviously, he did not expect to be instructed by a young man.
"You're right. I also want to return to nature. As long as I don't maliciously kill any living creature, I'll have a clear conscience."
After saying that, Old Mo walked towards the tent. Chu Qiao saw that Old Mo's steps had become noticeably lighter.
Tykerson, who was devouring his second bucket of instant noodles, rolled his eyes at Mo Lao and shouted:
"Lao Mo, which side are you on? Don't forget, you took our money."
Mr. Mo walked over slowly and leisurely: "I just took the money, not sold myself."
[Oh my god, Lao Mo is so tough? ]
[I really misunderstood Mr. Mo just now.]
[Awesome, he killed Tykson.]
【Ungrateful guy.】
Lao Mo stood with his hands behind his back, looking disdainful of talking to Tekson.
"Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know who pays you?" Tykson stood in front of Mr. Mo in a rage, using his height advantage to suppress the elderly Mr. Mo.
Texan stretched out his hand and was about to push Mo Lao, but Chu Qiao took a step forward and kicked Texan's ankle mercilessly. That was the place where the sea snake had bitten him. Chu Qiao had been bitten before and knew that the muscles in that place would take one or two months to return to normal, and it would hurt if touched.
"pain……"
"I'm going to kill you."
Tykson took a few steps back, holding his ankle, but kept yelling.
Chu Qiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned around to support Mo Lao: "Mo Lao, are you okay?"
Mo Lao shook his head: "It's okay, they don't dare to hurt me, I'm the only one who knows the location of the grass ephedra."
"Do you know the location?"
There was a glint in Chu Qiao's eyes.
Mo Lao nodded, but said embarrassedly: "But I can't tell you, they paid me, I can't sell the information to two people."
Chu Qiao nodded. Although he felt regretful, he also understood Mo Lao's helplessness.
Mo Lao patted Chu Qiao's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. The location I know is only an approximate one, not an exact one. It was told to me by an old friend who has passed away."
Chu Qiao actually understood that there were only a handful of people in this world who knew about that place. Otherwise, with the power of the modern Internet, it would not be impossible to find any trace of it.
This is good. With the help of the system, she can at least find the area near the ephedra.
