Chapter 498 Valley
From the end of the village up the mountain, there is still a way to step out just after entering the mountain.
The mountain is steep and the road is difficult to travel. On the way, we only stop at noon to rest and fill our stomach.
The deep mountains and old forests in June are the time when all kinds of snakes, insects and animals come and go.
Ou Zhemao was very curious that he walked all the way today, it was so peaceful, not even a bigger animal appeared.
Not to mention snakes and worms, even if a snake sees them, they will avoid them far away.
Is it because there are so many of them, all of them are masters, that they dare not approach them, Ou Zhemao is puzzled.
"Yu'er, are you tired, I'll carry you!"
With a small face, Li Xiaoyu, who was just panting slightly, shook her head and refused. She is not that weak now.
Ou Feng squatted in front of Li Xiaoyu and wanted to carry people behind his back. Walking in this dense forest, the place of death always came to his mind.
I always want to protect people in front of me, so I feel at ease.
"Brother Feng, I'm fine, I can keep up, it's just a little hot, just take a break!"
Li Xiaoyu opened the kettle and poured a few gulps. With well water in hand, it was fine even if he was tired.
She is not the broken body she was more than two months ago, and it is no problem to walk this mountain road.
Qiu Daqiang walked all the way and protected Li Xiaoyu with Ou Feng one after another, afraid that she would make a mistake.
I didn't expect Xiao Si's body to recover so quickly, and it was no different from normal people. As long as this is enough, let them do the rest.
Ou Zhemao and the three never thought that Li Xiaoyu was thin and small, and his physical strength and endurance had caught up with them.
There was no cry of bitterness and tiredness along the way. Following their pace, the three big men were a little ashamed, and they were not as good as a little girl.
"Let's go! With the current distance, we can reach it in another two hours.
There is a big cave, just rest in it at night, and there are some daily utensils there. "
It only takes two hours to get there, and a few people have more energy. Walking in this dense deep mountain and old forest is really boring and unpleasant.
Two hours later, a group of people stopped at the crevice of a mountain, and the steep peak seemed to be split by someone with an axe in the middle.
The width of the gap is only one meter. When you look up, you can only see a ray of light from the sky, so it is called the "one-line sky" by the villagers.
Ou Zhemao lit the torch he brought, and gave Qiu Daqiang the torch prepared in the back basket.
was the first to enter the gap. The narrow and dark gap was twenty meters long.
When he saw the light again, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a valley with a size of 100 acres appeared in front of him.
The valley is surrounded by steep walls, two hundred meters high.
The land in the valley is clearly divided, and there are scattered crops on it.
"Well, this valley is hidden! No one knows this place except the villagers who have come here to grow crops.
There is a pool of groundwater in front of , and the soil here is fertile and the harvest is high.
If it was not too far and dangerous, the village would not give up this valley. "
Li Xiaoyu walked into the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt in his hand, and quietly sent a small portion into the space.
Test Xiaoling to see if it is suitable for growing precious medicinal materials such as ginseng.
Li Xiaoyu is very satisfied with the environment here. As long as someone doesn't leak it out on purpose, no one will come here on purpose.
Those who want to come must also have the ability to pass through the old forest. There are many snakes along the way.
If they hadn't used their own insect repellent powder, they would have killed no less than fifty snakes along the way, and they were all highly poisonous.
"Sister, it's a good place to grow medicinal herbs, whatever you want is available in the space!"
Xiaoling's voice sounded in his mind, Li Xiaoyu was overjoyed, it was done!
Overjoyed Li Xiaoyu looked along the edge and found the underground water pool that Uncle Ou said.
The water quality is crystal clear, and there is not a small fish or shrimp, which really confirms the saying: the water is so clear that there are no fish.
"Yu'er, is it suitable?"
"Brother Feng, this place is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs, safety and soil are the most suitable, and the water source is sufficient."
Ou Feng is also happy for her, the medicine grown in such a big place is enough.
"Have you figured out what to plant?"
"After thinking about it, just plant the three medicines I mentioned before. These three medicines will be our main products in the future."
The night in the mountains came early and the temperature dropped rapidly. Ou Feng was afraid that Li Xiaoyu would catch a cold, so he pulled her back.
Qiu Daqiang is cleaning the cave with Ou Zhemao, Ota, and Ou Shun.
The stone cave is ten meters above the ground, with artificially excavated stone steps up and down.
The cave is 200 square meters, and there are artificial marks on the stone walls.
The two climbed the steps, and the cave was cleaned.
Chou Daqiang set up a simple stove at the entrance of the cave, and was cooking wild vegetable porridge in the original clay pot.
"How about it, can this valley be used to grow medicine?"
Uncle Ou asked eagerly, yesterday he heard the old man say, the purpose of their return this time.
"Yes, second uncle, the medicinal materials in this valley must be managed by a special person, at least someone who understands medicinal materials, who would know this in the village."
"I will. I have studied with the old doctor in the village for a few years and know most of the medicinal materials, and I have also secretly planted them."
I didn’t expect Ota, who is tall and thick, and so careful, to be able to play with medicinal herbs, this is okay!
"Okay, it's just you, can you do it alone? You need two people in such a big area."
"Xiaoyu, I'll bring my uncle, okay?"
Li Xiaoyu looked at Uncle Ou suspiciously, what's the situation?
"Xiaoyu, let him take him. Ota was raised by his uncle Owen Bin. The two uncles and nephews depend on each other for life. They have no other relatives."
"Uncle Ou, I want to ask you something. If it's not convenient for you to answer, you can leave it alone!"
"It's okay, you ask, after staying in the village for a long time, some things will be known sooner or later."
"In the entire Ou family, how many are like Uncle and Nephew Ota?"
Uncle Ou couldn't help beating drums in his heart. Could it be that he wanted to drive these people out? This is their roots, and their ancestors lived here.
Half of the families in the village are in this situation, what should they do?
"Uncle Ou, in the future, the focus of the village will be on planting herbal medicines, and people will be required to manage the medicinal fields and be on duty."
A big stone fell in my heart. It turned out that I didn’t want to drive them out of Oujia Village. The rest was easy!
"Thank you, Xiaoyu, we will do the same for planting medicine, and we promise to do it for you."
"Except for the medicine in the valley, which is what I want, the medicines grown in other places are collected by the pharmaceutical factory. The amount of money that should be given will not be less, you just wait and count the money!"
Ou Zhemao was even happier, and he gave money tickets, which was considered to be a benefit for the villagers.
Although the current Ou family is not short of money and has a lot of good things at home, I heard Uncle Xiao talk about the outside world last night.
