"Alright." Xiaomeng nodded.
After breakfast, Tian Youfeng and Tian Xiaomeng carried their baskets and went out.
Five kilometers away from their home was a mountain. Due to the humid weather, there were quite a few rare plants growing there. Naturally, there were some precious herbs.
"That mountain is filled with mosquitoes. Xiaomeng, you've got them all covered up." When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Tian You gave an order.
Tian Xiaomeng's entire body was covered up so tightly that only her eyes could be seen.
"Dad, it's already tightly covered. You can relax. Oh right, dad, this mountain seems to be very humid. There shouldn't be any danger right?" Tian Xiaomeng looked at the mountain below. It wasn't very tall, only about four or five hundred meters above sea level. However, there were a lot of towering trees inside, and the air inside was very misty and humid.
"Let's not go inside. We'll just watch from the side." Tian Youfeng used to come here often to gather herbs, so he wasn't a stranger.
In terms of dangerous things, apart from sometimes encountering one or two snakes, they had never touched anything else.
The father and daughter duo carried baskets on their backs and entered the house.
The leaves that fell from the sky were piled high on top of each other, making a beeping sound as they stepped on the leaves.
Tian YouFa led the way, letting Tian Xiaomeng follow behind.
"Xiaomeng, there are quite a few Seven Fields over there. Let's go pick Seven Fields first."
Tian Xiaomeng sent a message to Tian You after hearing that.
After picking Seven Fields, he also picked some Three Leaves Lotus, Bupleurum, and Huang Cen.
"Dad, look, what's that?" Tian Xiaomeng shouted as she pointed at a flower not far away.
The flower looked fresh and unique in the humid air.
It was surrounded by seven leaves, like seven guards protecting their princess.
Tian Fa looked over.
Joy was written all over his face.
"It's Seven Blossom Leaves." Tian YouFa said in surprise.
"Is that a medicinal herb?" The original owner had no memory of this flower.
"Yes, this snake venom has a miraculous effect. I've only heard of it before, but I didn't expect to actually meet it here." As Tian Youfeng spoke, he headed towards the flower.
"Dad, that place is covered in weeds. Let me go there. Your wounds are not fully healed yet. If you get bitten by a mosquito, it will be troublesome."
"Then be careful. If you can't get it, then forget it." When Tian Youfeng saw that Tian Xiaomeng had already walked over, he looked at her nervously.
Xiaomeng pulled away the Thorn Rampart in front of her and carefully plucked the Seven Leaf Flower.
Suddenly, he felt something strange on the ground, even the leaves on the tree moved a few times.
Tian Xiaomeng subconsciously looked down to see a dying wild boar lying there. Its body tried to stand up, but it lacked the strength to do so.
Tian Xiaomeng picked up a branch from the side and patted it in all directions. After confirming that there were no other dangerous animals around, she turned around and called out to Tian YouFa, "Father, Father, come here quickly."
"Xiaomeng, what's wrong?" Tian Youzi frowned as he walked forward.
"Dad, there is a wounded wild boar here. It seems like it was bitten by some poisonous animal and is lying here on its deathbed." There were no scars on the wild boar's body, and there were no signs of a fight with humans or animals. It seemed like it had been attacked by snakes or other poisonous creatures.
Tian Youfeng looked down and saw a huge black boar lying there.
"Aiyo, so big." Tian Youzi was alarmed.
"Xiaomeng, move aside. I'll take a look for him."
Tian You took a look and confirmed that the wild boar was poisoned.
"What a pity." Tian Xiaomeng sighed. Such a big wild boar actually died just like that. If they were not poisoned, they could still move it back.
"Let's find a place to bury it." He carefully placed it at the bottom of the basket, afraid that it would be lost if he placed it on top of the basket.
"Dad, let's carry it back. I think we'll need the bones of wild boars or the bones from the pharmacy."
"What can this wild boar's bones be used for?" Tian Youfeng frowned. Why had he not heard of this before?
"Boiled pork bones with glue, that's a very nourishing thing." Wild boar cake, also known as wild boar gum, was a very nourishing medicinal ingredient.
"Xiaomeng, looks like you've been seriously reading the two medical books that father gave you recently. Not bad, you've made some progress. It's just that this wild boar is huge, so it won't be easy for us to get it back."
"Dad, it's fine. You can rest by the side for a while. Let me come." Tian Xiaomeng took out a short knife from the basket.
The reason why he went into the deep mountains with a short blade was for his own safety. It was not only for Tian Xiaomeng, but also for Tian YouFa's safety.
"Xiaomeng, you've never done this before, okay?" Tian You's face was about to scrunch up.
"It's okay, dad, it's like killing a pig. There's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, it's a wild boar that's about to die, so there's no need for me to be afraid." What's the point of killing a pig?
In the years he had spent in the underworld, he had killed many people.
Tian YouFa: "..."
He had to re-evaluate Tian Xiaomeng.
It was as if Xiaomeng had become a different person after she had been rescued from the prison.
He was well aware of Xiaomeng's character. She would never dare to take a knife, much less do something bloodthirsty with a knife.
Excitement seemed to flash in Xiaomeng's eyes.
Yes, it should be excitement.
Though he did not know why she was excited.
Xiaomeng turned around and saw Tian YouFa sizing her up. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
The knife that was about to cut him stopped and said to Tian You, "Father, it's quite easy to think of it. I didn't think that it would be so difficult to stab it. You do it." Tian Xiaomeng walked towards Tian Youzi.
She was so excited that she almost forgot that she had been by her parents' side ever since she was a child. She hadn't experienced any strong winds or heavy rains, nor had she ever seen Tian Xiaomeng who had great waves and storms before.
Some things were too out of line and people would be suspicious.
As the father of the original owner, he could not help but doubt these words.
She was in a dilemma as to whether she should tell Tian You about his rebirth.
At that moment, Tian YouFa's doubts were clear. After hearing Xiaomeng's words, he took over the knife in his hand and started to dissect the wild boar.
Tian Xiaomeng didn't move forward.
He sat by the side and enjoyed the scenery of the great mountain in a bored manner.
Tian Youfeng was a man after all, so he wasn't overly afraid. In less than two hours, he had already divided the bones of the important parts of the wild boar. He put all the herbs in his basket into Tian Xiaomeng's basket and put all the bones in his basket.
Tian Youzi's basket had some weight to it, so when Lili asked for some to be given to her, Tian Youwei refused. He didn't want to let Xiaomeng touch such a bloody thing.
By the time he returned to the Tian Village, it was already past lunch time.
Xiaomeng's stomach was already close to her back due to hunger. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and entered the kitchen immediately.
The world was big, and it was not as problematic as her eating. Right now, she just wanted to quickly finish the food and eat a full meal.
Tian YouFa put the wild boar bones in his room and picked up all the herbs at the entrance before putting them away in separate categories.
