Chapter 122 Full of Expectations
"Really? When?" Wang Yuyan asked excitedly.
"Next week, the National Day holiday will be a nine-day holiday." Li Haoyu replied.
He Yuxin and Li Haoyu originally planned to visit He Dali during the National Day holiday, but she said that she was under a lot of academic pressure recently, so they had to postpone it until the winter vacation. He Yuxin said, "Is Shennongjia that far away?"
"Let's take the train and arrange a soft sleeper." Li Haoyu added, "You have to be careful when traveling long distances. If you want to go, please think carefully."
"I'll go." Wang Yuyan responded positively.
"I want to go too." Ding Qiunan and Nie Xiaoqian agreed in unison.
"Then let's arrange the tickets." Li Haoyu agreed.
"Master, do we need to make any preparations?" Ding Qiunan asked about the preparations.
"You don't need to bring too much, just a few sets of clothes for changing. I will prepare the rest of the tents, backpacks, outdoor equipment and shoes." Li Haoyu dispelled their concerns.
Hearing this, the two young people were full of anticipation, especially Wang Yuyan, who had never set foot out of the capital in her life.
After returning home, Yi Zhonghai and Cui Dake were extremely depressed, especially after Cui Dake lost the 100-year-old ginseng, he almost lost hope in life and was heavily in debt. Faced with the intimacy between the woman he loved and another man, Cui Dake was full of resentment, not only hating Li Haoyu, but also complaining about Ding Qiunan in his heart.
After learning about Yi Zhonghai's deception, the deaf grandmother severely taught him a lesson and declined the offer of gold bars. Although she failed to buy ginseng, she still tried to comfort Yi Zhonghai and rekindled a glimmer of hope: if Sha Zhu's poisoning problem could be cured, he might be able to get drug treatment from Li Haoyu.
Yi Zhonghai decided to find an opportunity to talk to Sha Zhu again and secretly convey a warning.
The National Day holiday is coming soon, and Li Haoyu will accompany He Yushui for a few days. On the big bed in No. 18, Luoguxiang, He Yushui leaned on Li Haoyu's arms, with a hint of melancholy on her face, and whispered: "Brother Li Haoyu, how long will you be away on this business trip? I miss you so much after just parting."
"It's okay, Yushui, don't be sad," Li Haoyu patted her buttocks and comforted her, "It will be about a week, I will be back soon. After I go back, I will accompany you every day."
"Okay, the schoolwork is really heavy during this period, so I will wait for your triumphant return at home." He Yushui said softly.
"Well, study hard and graduate early. Then I will go to Hong Kong to play with you." Li Haoyu made the promise with a smile.
"Well, Brother Li Haoyu, you are really nice." She was full of gratitude.
In the past few days, Li Haoyu also took time to go to John Bull. He was very satisfied with the outdoor equipment there, so he bought a lot of them.
At this time, Wang Yuyan, Ding Qiunan and Nie Xiaoqian lived together in No. 9 Zhengyangmen Courtyard of Li Haoyu's house. They were choosing clothes and backpacks. "This dress is beautiful and has so many pockets. Master, look, this is in English. Is it bought abroad?" Wang Yuyan asked curiously.
"Yes, these are the clothes commonly worn when traveling outdoors in foreign countries. These are outdoor long hiking boots with steel plates embedded under the soles to prevent being pierced by nails or something. Put on these clothes when you arrive at your destination. Each person has a backpack to hold clothes and snacks. As for medicines, I have prepared them." Li Haoyu explained.
After the three girls passed through, they looked heroic.
After packing up their belongings, the four of them gathered at the station. Li Haoyu had booked a comfortable soft sleeper room, which was just right for their number. This way they could avoid being disturbed.
Li Haoyu and Ding Qiunan slept on the upper and lower bunks, with Wang Yuyan and Nie Xiaoqian occupying the upper bunk. During the day, Li Haoyu taught the three of them to play poker, and they had hot lunch boxes for meals. To eliminate suspicion, Li Haoyu deliberately put some lime in the food, claiming that it was the property of high-temperature cooking. The four of them no longer felt bored along the way.
At night, Ding Qiunan quietly slid onto Li Haoyu's bed and snuggled up to him, her hands and feet not being honest. Li Haoyu forced a smile, while Ding Qiunan tried her best not to laugh out loud. Li Haoyu whispered a warning in his ear: "I'll make you admit your mistake and beg for mercy when we get home."
Ding Qiunan pretended to be scared, causing Li Haoyu to quickly cover her mouth, fearing that she would reveal everything. Nie Xiaoqian, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, woke up and saw the scene below, and couldn't help covering her mouth. She cursed Ding Qiunan in her heart for being restless, and wished she had chosen to sleep on the upper bunk.
They usually have a sisterly relationship, so they naturally have a lot of jokes with each other and are very familiar with each other's personalities. At around 3 a.m., Li Haoyu quietly sorted out clothes and hinted to get up. Ding Qiunan had no choice but to sort out her clothes, but she was still reluctant to go back to her upper bunk.
Li Haoyu whispered in her ear: "The dawn is about to break, the future is long, let's go back." Ding Qiunan gave him a lingering kiss on the cheek before returning to her seat.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the train finally arrived at Xiangyang Station. The four people got out of the station smoothly, transferred to a bus, and headed towards the suburbs of Shennongjia.
After talking with the villagers and spending a lot of time, the group finally arrived at the distribution center of Shennongjia medicinal materials.
"Master, there are so many medicinal herbs here. Are these picked in Shennongjia?" Ding Qiunan asked in surprise.
"You're right, little girl. We have all kinds of medicinal herbs here, and they're all the freshest." Before Li Haoyu could speak, an old man interrupted.
Li Haoyu turned his head and saw an old man who looked quite old but still full of energy.
"Grandpa, you often go into the mountains to collect herbs, right?" Li Haoyu asked.
"Yes, my home is in a village nearby. Look at my Ganoderma lucidum and fresh Snake tongue fungus, which I picked recently. Young man, do you want to try some? Snake tongue fungus is a treasure, especially beneficial to you young people." The old man said with a smile.
Li Haoyu picked up a snake tongue fungus, looked at it and smelled it, and commented: "Its medicinal properties are indeed good. Grandpa, I want all of them. How much is it?"
These fresh snake tongue fungi are rare and are also known as the King Wen's pen. They are excellent nourishing and replenishing products. It just so happens that Li Haoyu's mysterious garden, the Baicao Garden, lacks this item. This is a perfect opportunity.
“Okay, let’s calculate it as 10 yuan.” The old man responded.
Li Haoyu did not bargain, but directly took out ten yuan and handed it to the old man. He also took the opportunity to ask the old man some things about the area around Shennongjia.
This action attracted the attention of several people. They saw that Li Haoyu seemed to have a thick stack of cash in his hand, and then saw the three beauties beside him. They looked at each other and showed ambiguous smiles on their faces.
In such a remote place, such beautiful women are rare. I met three of them at a time. They seemed to be well-equipped and from a wealthy family. It seemed that they were going to explore the mountains.
"Young man, I didn't expect you were doctors. But Shennongjia is no joke. There are poisonous insects and wild beasts, and I heard that you might even encounter wild men. You young people have delicate physiques, so don't take the risk of going too deep." The old man warned.
However, Li Haoyu smiled and said: "We will pay attention. We just identify common medicinal herbs in the surrounding area and don't go too deep."
"That's good, but you must be careful." The old man continued to remind.
After strolling through the medicinal materials market, I realized that it was almost four o'clock in the evening.
"Master, shall we go in now? What if we spend the night in the woods?" Wang Yuyan asked.
"Yes, you can use the insect repellent spray I distributed earlier. It can block some snakes and insects. Let's set off immediately and find a camp to settle down first." Li Haoyu decided.
Everyone agreed, because Wang Yuyan knew that with Li Haoyu's protection, she didn't need to fear any threats. In fact, Li Haoyu entered the forest early to watch out for those hidden unfriendly eyes.
It was obvious that those people were planning to take advantage of them. Not only were they coveting their property, they were also paying attention to the three beauties around them.
"Brother, look at that pretty boy and three women going into the woods. What a great opportunity."
"I have never seen such a beautiful lady. We can have a good time tonight." The leading man had a smile on his face.
They planned to get rid of the "pretty boy" first after entering the forest, and then capture the women to enjoy slowly. It would be a shame if such a beautiful lady died after only playing with her once or twice.
The others also showed malicious smiles, and at this time, Li Haoyu and the other four had walked far away on the mountain road for a long time.
You can see many medicinal herbs along the way. In fact, most wild grasses have their own medicinal effects, but people often ignore those herbs with relatively hidden effects.
"Master, is this the 'Octagonal Lotus' that you used to treat the villagers' poisonous snakes last time?" Ding Qiunan asked, pointing to a herb beside him.
"Yes, it is the star anise lotus. It is usually used as an auxiliary medicinal material, and the treatment needs to be symptomatic depending on the type of venomous snake. For example, the one over there is called fragrant silk grass, which can be used with the star anise lotus to cure the poison of the bamboo-leaf green snake. This means that there may be a bamboo-leaf green snake nearby." Li Haoyu explained.
"Master, there's a snake!" Just as Li Haoyu finished speaking, Wang Yuyan noticed a bamboo pit viper climbing in a green bush not far away. It was difficult to detect without careful observation.
Li Haoyu smiled slightly, but did not catch the snake. He said, "Now you know, Yin Yang and the Five Elements are not superstitions. Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Where poisonous snakes appear, there are often herbs that can detoxify them."
As he spoke, Li Haoyu sensed five rude men quietly approaching them. These five men were the ones who showed greedy eyes in the medicinal materials market at the beginning.
They were all equipped with guns and ropes, and it was obvious that these people were planning to take actual action to find trouble. Realizing the danger, Li Haoyu activated a rare driving technique.
In an instant, all the snakes, insects and beasts in the spiritual field were controlled by Li Haoyu, and even two leopards and a black bear were affected two kilometers away. Li Haoyu issued an order for them to attack the five people in the rear.
"Ah... Brother, I was bitten by a snake, please save me." A gangster screamed. The bamboo green snake bit his arm mercilessly and then quickly left.
"You idiot, you have been living in the mountains for years, but you are still so scared of snakes. That was a bamboo green snake just now! I have snake medicine in my medicine bag, just bear with me." The leader of the gangsters was impatient to take out the snake medicine and apply it to his companion. This group of people lived in Shennongjia, and their familiarity with the forest made them carry a lot of defensive items with them as a normal practice.
"Ah... Boss, I found a scorpion crawling into your coat." The gangsters kept screaming.
The leader of the gang suddenly jumped up, and then all kinds of poisonous snakes and pests emerged from all around like springs. The five gangsters were confused and ran quickly, but the bleeding from their wounds could not be stopped immediately.
