"Can we go up? " Sheng Fenghua looked at the mountain again, but she didn't find the road that Lao Cai said could go up at all. Could it be that Lao Cai asked them to take a road out by themselves?
As if he knew what Sheng Fenghua was thinking, Lao Cai suddenly stepped forward. Sheng Fenghua looked at him suspiciously and followed him.
After about ten steps, Lao Cai stopped, bent down, and pushed aside the grass by the roadside. He pointed at the footprints under the grass and turned to Sheng Fenghua, saying, "Comrade Sheng, do you see this? This is the road. "
Sheng Fenghua glanced at the road Lao Cai pointed at and was speechless. This is called a road It was clearly just a few footprints in the grass.
"Can we go up this road? "
"Of course. Most of the workers go up this road, " Lao Cai explained with a smile. Sheng Fenghua's heart moved. She glanced at the footprints on the ground, put down the medicine basket, and took out a white towel from inside She pressed it down toward the footprints.
"Comrade Sheng, what are you doing? " Lao Cai looked at Sheng Fenghua with a puzzled face. It was a new towel, and it was a pity that it was dirty.
"It's just a footprint. " Sheng Fenghua smiled and put away the towel.
After putting away the towel, she looked at the footprints. Sheng Fenghua did not ask to go to the other side, but directly stepped on the road that was not a road.
Lao Cai looked and did not ask anything. He followed Sheng Fenghua up the mountain.
The road up the mountain was not easy to walk on, let alone this was not a road The group walked very slowly. More than half an hour had passed, and they had not even reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Although Sheng Fenghua had seen a lot of herbs along the way, she hadn't seen the cough-stopping grass that she had been looking for.
So, she turned to look at Lao Cai and asked, "Lao Cai, we've been walking for so long. Where exactly is this cough-stopping grass? "
Lao Cai shook his head and replied, "I only know that there's cough-stopping grass on this mountain, but I don't know exactly where it is. Because I've never been to this mountain, let alone picked it. "
Sheng Fenghua was speechless. She glanced at Lao Cai, not knowing what to say. She had thought that Lao Cai had been here before, but unexpectedly, he hadn't been here at all.
Since she hadn't found the cough-stopping grass, Sheng Fenghua naturally wouldn't waste it halfway and continued to climb to the top of the mountain. Fortunately, their luck wasn't bad. They found the cough-stopping grass before they reached the top of the mountain.
Sheng Fenghua picked the cough-stopping grass and put it into the basket on her back. In order to better study this herb, she picked a lot. According to Lao Cai, the herbs she picked were enough for at least twenty people.
Sheng Fenghua didn't stay on the mountain for long after picking the cough-stopping grass. Instead, she planned to go back. Since the previous road wasn't easy to take, Sheng Fenghua planned to take another road, which was the road behind the mountain.
Lao Cai and Qin Feng had no objection to Sheng Fenghua's decision. They walked to the other side of the mountain together. After walking for a while, the group saw a road.
The road wasn't big. It looked like a small mountain path, but compared to the road they had taken before, this was the real road.
When they reached the road, Sheng Fenghua stopped and looked in the direction where the road extended. She asked, "Lao Cai, this road doesn't look like a road to the mountain. Where else does it lead to? "
Lao Cai heard her and glanced at Sheng Fenghua, then said, "that's right. Besides going up the mountain, this road also leads to a village in the mountain. "
