Tan Xiu rejected Su Lingyun's proposal. What he needed to find were herbs and silver needles. Because he came in a hurry and didn't know how his grandmother's injury was, he didn't bring anything to treat her.
"Big Brother Ben, are you sleepy?"
Asked Tan Xiu.
"No, I'm not sleepy." Su Ben shook his head.
"Alright, then come with me!" Tan Xiu said. "Let's find the things as soon as possible and then come back to treat my grandmother's injury."
"Alright!"
Su Ben nodded.
Tan Xiu knew Su Ben. He had been very simple and honest since he was a child, and he was usually a man of few words. But no matter what happened in the village, he would always lend a helping hand if someone's family was in trouble. In this regard, he took after his father, the loyal and honest Second Uncle who had a short life.
In fact!
Although Tan Xiu had lived in the Su Family Village for more than ten years since he was a child, he was a foreigner. It was reasonable to say that he should call Chen Huiying as his Second Aunt, and even the elders in the village should call him Uncle or Aunt. But Su Lingyun didn't want Tan Xiu to feel that he didn't belong here, so she asked him to address everyone as Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Auntie, or Grandpa and Grandma according to the Su Family.
Except!
His maternal grandparents, as well as his First Uncle's family.
Tan Xiu took Su Ben back to the car and quickly drove out of the village. Because the Su Family Village was one of the mountain ranges in the Yuzhou Ridge to the north, and there was also a tens of meters wide river nearby, the land here was fertile.
Su Ben saw that Tan Xiu didn't drive to the town nor the county town, but to the mountain in the north of the village. He immediately asked with confusion, "Tan Xiu, why are we going there?"
"Do you still remember when you took us to the mountain to pick wild fruits when we were young?" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "I saw a lot of wild herbs in the mountain before, but I didn't know them at that time and thought they were weeds. Now that I've learned some medical skills, I need medicinal herbs to treat my grandmother's injury. So, let's go to the mountains and get some medicinal herbs. "
Su Ben suddenly understood as he raised his thumb and said, "You're really amazing, Tan Xiu. You've been studying in Star City for 6 years, right? Not only did he drive a Land Rover on his way back, but he also learned medical skills. If I had known earlier, I would have gone with you to Star City. "
Tan Xiu smiled faintly and did not speak again. He didn't learn all his skills in Star City. If it wasn't for that car accident, if it wasn't for that huge fortuitous encounter, he might still be an ignorant student, studying step by step every day, taking exams, and waiting for his College Entrance Test scores.
Fate!
Sometimes, it was really magical!
After Tan Xiu became a Paragon of the Immortal World, he no longer believed in fate. He believed that he could control fate and the Heavenly Dao. However, fate and the Heavenly Dao held supreme power for ordinary people.
A pitch-black night.
Tan Xiu felt the cool breeze of the late summer night. The hostility in his heart was washed away by a lot. He would investigate the matter of his grandmother being beaten to the end. Regardless of the other party's background, hurting the people he cared about was unforgivable.
"Stop the car. Let's go up the mountain!"
At the foot of the mountain, Tan Xiu turned off the engine and calmly spoke after getting out of the car.
"Tan Xiu, aren't you afraid that someone will steal the car?" Su Ben hesitated.
Tan Xiu said with a faint smile, "It's the middle of the night. Who would run to the back mountain for no reason? Besides, if someone has the ability, they can steal it! Alright, finding the medicinal herbs is more important. You don't need to think about other things. "
Su Ben nodded. It was, after all, Tan Xiu's car, and Tan Xiu had the final say on it. At present, he was very curious about Tan Xiu. He was curious about where he got the money to buy such a luxurious car, and also curious about his medical skills.
Tan Xiu and Su Ben walked on the winding and rugged mountain path as if they were walking on flat ground. They quickly shuttled through the mountain forest. In just 20 minutes, the two of them had climbed halfway up the mountain.
"Tan Xiu, let's be careful! You know the situation in this mountain forest. There are a lot of wild beasts even at night. In case we run into a pack of wolves and bears, it'll be troublesome. "Su Ben was simple and honest, but he was also a meticulous and cautious person.
"Don't worry!"
Tan Xiu nodded casually. If it was before, he might be more cautious than Su Ben. But now, he was no longer an ignorant person. He could easily deal with ordinary wild beasts with just a few punches and kicks.
"Tan Xiu, I know you've been smart since you were a child. But now it's different from the past. A very powerful leopard appeared in this mountain a few days ago. Gen Zi's father wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game, but he died inside. At that time, the villagers organized dozens of people to go up the mountain to look for him, but they only found his clothes and bones. Moreover, we ran into a leopard that was as big as a bull. If I hadn't brought a gun with me at that time, I'm afraid some of us would have died. "
"A leopard as big as a bull?" Tan Xiu was surprised. "Are you kidding me? If there's really such a big leopard, isn't it a spirit? "
Su Ben forced a smile and said, "I reckon that leopard is really a spirit. Its speed is faster than the tiger we saw when we were young, and it's at least twice as fast. Also, after we left the mountain, Gen Zi and I sneaked back to this mountain and saw with our own eyes that the leopard easily killed a few wild wolves. You must know that there were more than a dozen wild wolves besieging it at that time! "
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. Through Su Ben's description, he was sure that the leopard was definitely a fierce beast with spiritual wisdom. Although he was not short of fierce beasts' skeletons, it would be a good thing if he could kill one. The more the better!
"Tan Xiu, we have to look for it quickly. My mobile phone is almost out of battery, and the phone light won't last long." Seeing Tan Xiu's thoughtful expression, Su Ben urged him in a low voice.
Tan Xiu nodded. It didn't matter to him whether he used the phone light or not. Even at night, his eyes could clearly see everything around him. Moreover, he didn't rely on his eyes to look for medicinal herbs in the mountain, but his spiritual sense.
With the release of his spiritual sense, the grass and trees within the radius of 200 meters were shrouded. Only in this way could he find the herbs he needed in the shortest time.
"Found it."
Ten minutes later, Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. He quickly found the herbs he needed in a cliff crevice. Silver Dragon Grass.
"Tan Xiu, is this what you're looking for?"
Su Ben's expression was a bit strange. He stared at the herb in Tan Xiu's hand for a while and curiously asked.
"That's the one!" Tan Xiu said. "This Silver Dragon Grass has the effect of removing blood clots and nourishing bones. This herb is not easy to find. I came to this mountain to look for it because I remember seeing this Silver Dragon Grass when we were young.
Su Ben touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Had I known you wanted this herb, we wouldn't have exhausted ourselves to come here. A few days ago, I cut the grass to feed the sheep and cut a lot of this … herb. Some of those grasses are still in the straw shed! "
"What?"
Tan Xiu looked at Su Ben incredulously. It must be known that the price of a Silver Dragon Grass would be more than 1,000 yuan in the medicinal herb market in the cities. Su Ben actually fed the sheep with Silver Dragon Grass?
This …
Wasn't this too extravagant and wasteful?
Tan Xiu secretly shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Brother Ben, after you go back, immediately pick out the Silver Dragon Grass. Remember, this herb is very valuable. If you can find a lot of it, I'm willing to buy it for 1,000 yuan. "
"What?"
Su Ben's eyes widened. He was almost scared to death by Tan Xiu's words.
1,000 yuan?
He was farming and raising livestock at home, and he also had to follow the construction team to build houses for others. How much money could he earn in a year? At most, it was only 20,000 yuan, right? This Silver Dragon Grass was worth a thousand yuan, so the twenty-three Silver Dragon Grass were worth a year's worth of his hard work!
"Tan Xiu, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Su Ben asked with a serious face.
Tan Xiu said, "I'm absolutely not joking with you. If you can find the Silver Dragon Grass, I'm really willing to buy it for 1,000 yuan. However, there are wild beasts in this mountain. Don't easily come to the mountain just to find the Silver Dragon Grass to sell. "
Su Ben said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. So, after I go back, I'll go home and see how many Silver Dragon Grasses are left. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
Subsequently, the two of them didn't stay in the mountain. Although they didn't encounter that fierce beast, Tan Xiu felt a bit regretful. But his grandmother's injury was more important, and he couldn't stay here for too long.
After smoothly returning to the parking place, Tan Xiu drove back to the Su Family Village, while Su Ben got off at his door. Because Su Ben told Tan Xiu that there were silver needles in the Village Head's house, Tan Xiu didn't need to go elsewhere to find them.
"Xiu, have you found what you're looking for?"
Seeing Tan Xiu coming back, Su Lingyun asked with a concerned face.
"I've found it," said Tan Xiu. "Wait for Big Brother Ben to come, then I'll be able to treat my grandmother's injury."
Although Chen Huiying was very sleepy, she didn't go home to sleep. She was worried about Zhang Shi's injury, and her son had left with Tan Xiu, so she had been waiting here. Upon hearing Tan Xiu's words, she curiously asked, "Didn't Ben leave with you? Where did he go? "
"He went to the Village Head's house," said Tan Xiu. "He said that there are silver needles in the Village Head's house."
Chen Huiying nodded and said, "Yes, the Village Head used to be a barefoot doctor. If he hadn't had an accident more than a decade ago and killed someone, I'm afraid he would still be a doctor in our village now!"
Zhang Shi was awake at the moment, and she had just talked a lot with her daughter. Seeing that Tan Xiu had come back, she waved her hand and called Tan Xiu over. Then, she said, "Xiu, grandma is very useless, isn't she? She just lightly hit me twice, and my leg was broken."
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Grandma, you're old, but in my heart, you're the most capable person. When I was a child, I liked to eat the osmanthus cake you made for me the most. "
Although Zhang Shi endured the pain, she still smiled and said, "When grandma's leg is better, I'll make osmanthus cake for you."
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma. I know that apart from my mother, you're the best to me."
