Chapter 159: Purple Vine Leaves
Bai Zhi was stunned in shock . Seriously, this guy doesn’t let his guard down, he always sensed the flaw in her speech .
Bai Zhi laughed and said: “I’m just kidding, why are you so serious?”
Kidding? She doesn’t seem just kidding around .
Hu Feng didn’t ask another question . Meng Nan didn’t bother to ask about it . His heart was beating like a drum . He constantly comforted himself: Although this forest looks gloomy, it’s definitely just an ordinary one, there’s no tiger here . There’s none .
Hu Feng led the way in front, and Jin Shiwei was in the back . Bai Zhi and Meng Nan were sandwiched by two people . In this kind of formation, even if people were walking in the deep part of the forest, they will feel a lot better . They will not be so scared .
At least, for Bai Zhi, it was the case . It was her second time entering this mountain, so obviously, she was not as scared as when she entered for the first time .
Meng Nan followed Bai Zhi while holding a dagger in his hand . The more he took a step forward, the more his face paled .
“Alright, aren’t we there yet?” The more he walked further, the more his heart beat fast . He felt like there was a big tiger waiting for him up ahead .
Bai Zhi looked around and said: “Soon, the last time I saw it, it was near this vicinity . ”
Jin Shiwei asked: “It looked almost the same everywhere . How can you tell you saw it near here?”
Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the weeds on the side of the road . In Jin Shiwei’s eyes, it was nothing but a wild grass . But in Bai Zhi’s eyes, it was a highly inflammable plant: “This plant is called silver grass . When I came here before, only this place has these plants, then I saw the purple vine leaves next . I can’t be wrong . ”
When Meng Nan heard Bai Zhi’s words, he had a peace of mind . It seems they no longer need to walk further . And it seems that they will not encounter a tiger today .
After taking a few more steps, Bai Zhi suddenly stopped from walking . Then, she excitedly pointed her finger to a big tree on the side: “Look, that is the purple vine leaves . ”
The three men looked towards the direction, where her finger was pointing at, and they a saw a huge tree wrapped with dense purple vines . The leaves on the rattan tree were triangular in shape, it has a pinkish and dark purple color, and occasionally, there were visible small flowers . These purple little flowers looked very beautiful under the sunlight .
Meng Nan looked at it for a while, but didn’t find it special: “What kind of herbal medicine is this? What disease can it cure?”
Bai Zhi took a step forward and picked up a purple vine leaf, then she sniffed the scent of it . The smell of it was so strong . The scent was much thicker than what she smelled in the modern time . It would be good if it’s effect was also twice or thrice stronger . By then, she wouldn’t need to wait for 30 days to harvest potatoes .
“This is called purple vine leaves, it is not a herb for curing disease . I will use this to grow our plants in the field . Don’t just stand there . Help me find the roots of these purple vine leaves . As long as we find it’s root and pulled it out, we can easily pull these vine leaves without hurting the plant . ”
The surrounding trees were all covered by the vines . The four of them split up and do a separate job . One person followed the line of vines and looked for its roots .
The four people held the vine and rolled it in their arm . At the end of the vine, the four of them met in front of a slope .
It seems that the main root of the purple vine leaves was under the soil behind the slope .
