Chapter 23 Gastrodia and Long Snake

"do not move!"

Aju scolded, "Brother Xiaokang, there is Gastrodia elata in front of you."

Look along Aju's fingers.

I saw three plants with green leaves lingering among the grass not far away, with a tall stem growing straight from the middle.

The tops of their stems are covered with dark purple flowers mixed with some gray-brown flowers.

Ah Ju walked up to the Gastrodia elata plant first and handed over the medicinal hoe in her hand, "Brother Xiaokang, you are really lucky, this is Gastrodia elata.

However, it cannot be dug yet.

Brother Xiaokang, remember the location. In 2 months, you can dig it out and sell it for money. Here, shovel the weeds next to the Gastrodia elata. You can cut the thinner weeds with a sand sickle.

That’s it.”

So this is Gastrodia elata?

After picking up the treasure, Han Xiaokang was also very happy.

Neither my predecessor in this life nor I knew wild Gastrodia elata.

Now with the help of Aju, a girl who grew up in the mountains, she might be able to collect a lot of rare medicinal materials during this trip to the mountains.

Wild gastrodia elata can be purchased at a very high price at the district supply and marketing cooperative purchasing station.

Unfortunately,

It's only July now, so Gastrodia elata has not entered the dormant period and cannot be picked yet.

Han Xiaokang looked at his surroundings, trying to find something that was a landmark so that he could remember the location in his mind.

I plan to wait until winter so that I can come over again and dig out these three Gastrodia elata trees and sell them for money.

This is a terrain with two mountains sandwiched between a ditch.

Apart from grass, small trees, and thorns, there is nothing particularly conspicuous to mark in the ditch.

On the cliff on the right, there is a large crooked wild mulberry tree, which is relatively conspicuous.

etc.

Intuition told Han Xiaokang: There seemed to be something on the tree, peeping over here?

Han Xiaokang put his hands on the awning and looked intently, and then he finally saw clearly: the thing squatting on the mulberry tree was actually a small macaque, looking here non-stop.

Little macaques pose no threat.

As long as it doesn't call its parents or its aunts and uncles, there's nothing to worry about.

Relieved, Han Xiaokang withdrew his gaze and prepared to remove the weeds around the three Gastrodia elata trees so that the Gastrodia elata could grow better.

After all, the size of Gastrodia elata can determine its price.

The purchasing price of the slightly larger Gastrodia elata is quite different from that of the smaller Gastrodia elata.

Put down the backpack and put Ah Ju's medicine hoe aside.

Han Xiaokang took out his sickle and began to cut the grass.

Seeing Han Xiaokang start cutting weeds, Aju and Wu Juren consciously stood a few meters behind.

The two of them were not involved in this matter.

This is because there is an unwritten rule when collecting medicinal materials in the mountains: whoever discovers it first will get it.

Even if you are a companion who goes into the mountains together, don't follow him.

Otherwise, the precious medicinal materials found by the companions who have worked hard must be taken out and divided equally.

This time when he discovered Gastrodia elata, there was no merit in the martial arts examination, so he consciously avoided it.

As for Miss Aju, it was obvious that she planned to give Gastrodia elata to Han Xiaokang, who did not understand the hidden rules of digging for medicine.

So she also took a few steps back like the martial arts practitioners and did not step forward to help.

The sand sickle has sharp teeth, so it is perfect for cutting this kind of silk grass.

While Han Xiaokang was weeding the gastrodia elata, he was vigorously mowing it.

Sudden!

There was a soft "hiss" sound, like the air-conditioning air suddenly blowing on people's bodies.

It made people feel cold all over, and layers of goosebumps, like wave after wave, suddenly covered Han Xiaokang's whole body!

It's too late to say it, but it's soon.

among the thatch,

Suddenly a black shadow jumped up and rushed towards his face!

The black shadow that rushed toward Han Xiaokang was originally green.

But because the distance is too close,

Before his pupils had time to focus, what appeared on Han Xiaokang's eyelids was a growing black shadow.

The opponent came quickly.

Han Xiaokang's martial arts foundation and the "teleport" skill rewarded by the system.

It burst out all of a sudden!

The long snake came very quickly.

Han Xiaokang didn't look closely and just teleported 10 centimeters to the side.

Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the phantom that was transformed into the bar-shaped black shadow that was rushing towards him.

"Ssss-"

The snake's tail is red, its breath is fishy, ​​and its fangs are ferocious.

"Hiss——"

The snake that rushed over saw that it could not wrap around Han Xiaokang's neck, so it quickly twisted its slender body, turned its head and bit Han Xiaokang's arm.

"Ssss-"

How could Han Xiaokang sit back and wait for death? He didn't care about his own hands and just grabbed the middle part of the snake's body.

Anyway, he just grabbed the snake's body tightly and swung it to the side!

The strong inertia straightened the snake's head in an instant.

While the opponent was still trapped, Han Xiaokang stretched out his left hand and firmly grabbed a few inches below its neck.

Then his right hand relaxed slightly.

At this time, the green snake had lost its previous inertia. Its body was twisting and its mouth was wide open.

The long snake's tail rolled up, trying to wrap around Han Xiaokang's neck. The long snake's tail rolled up, and Han Xiaokang's right hand slipped forward, and he grasped the snake's tail tightly.

After rounding it up, he threw it hard on the ground!

"puff--"

"Puff-"

Drop it,

Stars began to appear in the big snake's head.

Beaten twice,

The trunk of the long snake is like fermented noodles in a catering service, ready for fried dough sticks.

Han Xiaokang severely beat the snake's head on the ground several times, and the long snake weighing more than 3 kilograms in his hand completely lost its strength.

"call--"

When the long snake collapsed to the ground, Han Xiaokang threw the snake to the ground.

Despite the dangerous fight between Han Xiaokang and the long snake, in fact all of this happened in a very short period of time.

As a result, Wu Juren and Miss Aju, who were teasing Dahu and Erhu in the distance, had no time to react.

When they realized that the situation was not good, Han Xiaokang was already spinning the snake and threw it to the ground with all his strength.

Seeing Han Xiaokang successfully smashing the snake to death, the martial arts examiner gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done! Boy, have you ever studied martial arts?"

Aju quickly put down the big tiger, ran over quickly, bent down and picked up the sickle that Han Xiaokang had thrown away earlier.

He smoothly inserted the tip of the knife into the head of the big snake with great precision.

Han Xiaokang picked up the extremely sharp medicine hoe that Aju had brought over, pointed at the snake's head, and shoveled it down with the hoe.
