Bai Zhi was stunned in shock. Seriously, this guy doesn’t let his guard down, he always sensed the flaw in her speech.

Bai Zhi laughed and said: “I’m just kidding, why are you so serious?”

Kidding? She doesn’t seem just kidding around. 

Hu Feng didn’t ask another question. Meng Nan didn’t bother to ask about it. His heart was beating like a drum. He constantly comforted himself: Although this forest looks gloomy, it’s definitely just an ordinary one, there’s no tiger here. There’s none.

Hu Feng led the way in front, and Jin Shiwei was in the back. Bai Zhi and Meng Nan were sandwiched by two people. In this kind of formation, even if people were walking in the deep part of the forest, they will feel a lot better. They will not be so scared.

At least, for Bai Zhi, it was the case. It was her second time entering this mountain, so obviously, she was not as scared as when she entered for the first time.

Meng Nan followed Bai Zhi while holding a dagger in his hand. The more he took a step forward, the more his face paled.

“Alright, aren’t we there yet?” The more he walked further, the more his heart beat fast. He felt like there was a big tiger waiting for him up ahead.

Bai Zhi looked around and said: “Soon, the last time I saw it, it was near this vicinity.”

Jin Shiwei asked: “It looked almost the same everywhere. How can you tell you saw it near here?”

Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the weeds on the side of the road. In Jin Shiwei’s eyes, it was nothing but a wild grass. But in Bai Zhi’s eyes, it was a highly inflammable plant: “This plant is called silver grass. When I came here before, only this place has these plants, then I saw the purple vine leaves next. I can’t be wrong.”

When Meng Nan heard Bai Zhi’s words, he had a peace of mind. It seems they no longer need to walk further. And it seems that they will not encounter a tiger today.

After taking a few more steps, Bai Zhi suddenly stopped from walking. Then, she excitedly pointed her finger to a big tree on the side: “Look, that is the purple vine leaves.”

The three men looked towards the direction, where her finger was pointing at, and they a saw a huge tree wrapped with dense purple vines. The leaves on the rattan tree were triangular in shape, it has a pinkish and dark purple color, and occasionally, there were visible small flowers. These purple little flowers looked very beautiful under the sunlight.

Meng Nan looked at it for a while, but didn’t find it special: “What kind of herbal medicine is this? What disease can it cure?”

Bai Zhi took a step forward and picked up a purple vine leaf, then she sniffed the scent of it. The smell of it was so strong. The scent was much thicker than what she smelled in the modern time. It would be good if it’s effect was also twice or thrice stronger. By then, she wouldn’t need to wait for 30 days to harvest potatoes.

“This is called purple vine leaves, it is not a herb for curing disease. I will use this to grow our plants in the field. Don’t just stand there. Help me find the roots of these purple vine leaves. As long as we find it’s root and pulled it out, we can easily pull these vine leaves without hurting the plant.”

The surrounding trees were all covered by the vines. The four of them split up and do a separate job. One person followed the line of vines and looked for its roots.

The four people held the vine and rolled it in their arm. At the end of the vine, the four of them met in front of a slope.

It seems that the main root of the purple vine leaves was under the soil behind the slope.
