Chapter 161 - 161: A Herd of Wild Boars
Su Li smiled and rejected politely, “There’s no need to treat me now. If you really want to treat us to a meal, then treat us to a meal when you earn money in the future. It’s not easy for everyone now.”
Chen Xiang was a little disappointed, but she also knew that with her family’s conditions, she could not bring out any good food to entertain Su Li and her family.
Chen Xiang asked, “Is there anything else at home that you need my help with?”
Su Li shook her head. “I don’t have anything that requires your help. Go ahead with your own work!”
Chen Xiang was just being polite. When Su Li said that, she added, “Then I’ll go to the field to plant the chili first.”
She was a person with an anxious personality. She would finish whatever she was working on immediately!
After Chen Xiang left, Su Li went to He Yufeng to take a look. She realized that He Yufeng was still pondering, but he was already halfway done. It seemed that the Rubik’s Cube would be completed soon.
She had nothing to do now, so she planned to walk around the mountain. Recently, she had been too busy to care about anything else, so her small shop had not been upgraded.
Su Li carried the basket on her back and left.
Just as she reached the top of the mountain, Su Li realized that Riceball was following behind her.
“Riceball, why are you here?”
Riceball barked twice as if it was saying, “I’ll protect you!”
Su Li waved her hand and said, “Go back quickly. It’s too dangerous on the mountain. I won’t be able to take care of you later.”
If Riceball was a little bigger, she could bring it up, but Riceball was still too small. If such a little puppy went up the mountain, wouldn’t it be equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger’s den?
Riceball didn’t seem to have heard Su Li’s words and continued to stand rooted to the ground, looking stubborn.
Su Li was a little helpless. She didn’t know who this dog took after. Not only was it smart, but it also had a bad temper!
Su Li raised her hand to scare it. “If you don’t leave, I’ll beat you up!”
Riceball whimpered aggrievedly, its expression full of grievance, as if Su Li had done something heinous.
It was the same thing again!
The last time she did not bring it home, it had looked at her with this gaze.
Seeing it like this, Su Li sighed. She really didn’t know what to do with this puppy. “Then you can’t run around later. Follow me obediently. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”
Riceball barked, “Woof woof woof.’
Got it!
It was very powerful!
Su Li smiled. “I really don’t know what to do with you!”
Just like that, the woman and the dog wandered up the mountain.
The mountain was overgrown with weeds, and there were still no roads in some places. Su Li waved her sickle and began to carve a road out from the weeds. Riceball would be pricked one moment and cut by the plants on the mountain the next. However, it did not make a sound and continued to follow Su Li’s footsteps.
Su Li turned around and realized that Riceball was bleeding a lot. Her heart ached as she picked it up.
“I told you it was dangerous on the mountain. Do you understand now?”
“Does it hurt? Why didn’t you say anything?”
Riceball stuck out its tongue and licked Su Li’s hand, as if telling her not to worry and it didn’t hurt.
Su Li took out the disinfectant from her space and sprinkled the hemostatic powder on Riceball.
Riceball was already used to Su Li being able to take things out of thin air.
Su Li had never hidden it in front of Riceball. No matter how smart Riceball was, it couldn’t speak, right?
After applying the medicine, Riceball felt that his wound didn’t hurt so much anymore. It even felt a little comfortable.
Su Li poured out some spirit spring water. She touched Riceball’s head and said, “Come and drink some water.”
Riceball drank obediently.
Su Li also picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After taking a sip of the spiritual spring water, she felt that her energy was full again.
After Riceball drank the water, it rubbed against Su Li’s shoe.
Su Li looked at the wounds on its body and wondered if it was more appropriate to throw Riceball into the interspace.
However, at the thought of Riceball’s destructive power and the crops that were about to ripen in the space, who could she reason with if Riceball spoiled all her things?
Su Li glanced at the empty basket on her back. There was nothing in the basket now, so she might as well put Riceball in it first and throw what she found into the space later.
Su Li looked at Riceball and said with a smile, “Riceball, I found you a good place to go.”
Riceball looked up in confusion. Where to?
Was there a good place to go on this mountain?
Su Li reached out and picked up Riceball, then carefully placed it in the basket.
Riceball, who suddenly had no freedom, barked.
It still wanted to have fun on the mountain. It was not easy to have the chance to go up the mountain!
Riceball looked up at Su Li and acted cute. The expression in his eyes was self-evident.
Su Li gently patted Riceball and said, “Alright, just stay inside!” Riceball was speechless. It wanted to go down.
Su Li ignored it and continued forward with the basket on her back.
Since his protest was ineffective, Riceball could only accept his fate and lie in the basket.
This time, the thing she was looking for was “Small Pulmonary Cord Grass.”
The small pulmonary cord grass is a perennial plant with short rhizomes and fibrous roots. Most of the leaves are linear, soft, and light green.
“It can clear the lungs, dissolve phlegm, treat long-term pain, strain, asthma, asthma, abdominal pain of roundworms, poor urination, blood loss from defecation, cold, cough, etc.”
This time, the shop asked for this herb.
Su Li sighed. The small pulmonary cord grass was not easy to find. It was born in the jungle and liked dark and damp places.
There was plenty of sunlight on the periphery of the mountain, so it was still relatively difficult to find it. Hence, Su Li could only choose to go deep into the mountains.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the more sinister Su Li felt. She had goosebumps all over her body.
Su Li looked up at the sky and said, “There shouldn’t be any ghosts in broad daylight, right?”
According to the growth habits of the small pulmonary cord grass, Su Li quickly found it.
Su Li was overjoyed when she saw the thing in front of her. She put down the basket on her back and started to open the way with the scythe in one hand.
After Su Li’s hard work, she quickly opened up a small path in front of the
small pulmonary cord grass.
Su Li looked at the thing in front of her and muttered, “You’ve made it difficult for me to find you.”
She quickly finished picking the herbs.
After completing the mission, she walked around and didn’t find anything special, so she carried Riceball and prepared to go home.
She had just taken two steps when she vaguely heard the snort of a pig.
Su Li instantly became vigilant. Did she hear wrongly?! A pig’s cry?
In order to avoid any problems, she listened carefully. She then realized that there were still a lot of sounds and it was definitely not something a single wild boar could make.
Could she have encountered a herd of wild boars?
Su Li sighed in her heart at how unlucky she was.
She turned to look at Riceball in the basket. It was sleeping soundly and was not woken up by the commotion at all..
