Chapter 287 Treasures in the Mountains (1)
"Lord, the 13th Group in the South discovered a strange place!" An inner guard reported to Cons.
Cons didn't ask, and asked someone to lead the way to see this strange place. It was not that Cons was worried about his subordinates' eyes, but that Cons needed to experience it himself. What he experienced and felt personally was many times more detailed than what others had conveyed.
With the company of Xiang Wen and others, Cons and his party came to a valley.
Looking at the bare valley in front of him, Xiang Wen asked in confusion: "What's special about here? Isn't it just a place where grass doesn't grow?"
"Sir, take a closer look. This place is not born deserted, but it is because the vegetation is poached. Moreover, there are a large number of signs of carriages leaving outside the valley, but the trace disappears ten miles away." The retainer who led the way explained carefully.
"Is the vegetation poached?"
Xiang Wen looked carefully and found that it was true, and the traces on the ground showed that the other party was very careful to dig it away with the roots and turf.
Seeing this, Xiang Wen couldn't help but be surprised. This valley has dozens of hectares of area, and such a vast vegetation has been dug up. And it is the method of digging that is careful not to hurt the fundamentals of the plants. Without thousands of people spending several days, they can never achieve this. It seems that this place is really weird.
Cons glanced at the trees and weeds thrown aside with mud. Looking at the pits on the ground, you can confirm that these trees and weeds were originally growing on this wasteland, but those people were not concerned about them, so they were thrown aside. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are these poached plants?"
He could now be sure that those vicious people sent so many puppet soldiers to restrain themselves just for the vegetation in the valley.
It is very simple to make such a conclusion. First, the trees and weeds were abandoned here, and the entire valley became bare soil slopes. Second, it belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Longzhan City, which is only thirty kilometers away from Longzhan City. Third, from the wetness of the roots of the tree, it is only four or five days.
In other words, the vegetation was excavated at the same time as the enemy invaded Longzhan County.
Now Cons is very curious about what the vegetation was poached. It is definitely very important for the other party to spend such a huge amount of money.
"Lord, my subordinates don't know, but when my subordinates and others observed the situation here, they found hundreds of tenant farmers hiding in the mountains, dozens of whom lived in nearby villages. They should know what kind of plant this is." The warrior said hurriedly.
"Very good, bring them up right away." Cons nodded.
This large-scale search of the county was equivalent to sorting out the entire Longzhan County, and finding a total of 30,000 to 40,000 farmers who escaped from the mountains and hidden places.
However, most of these people are old, weak, disabled, and sick, and most of them are women and children. The young and strong can be said to be gone.
Soon dozens of old men were brought up with trembling bodies. Without looking up at Cons, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted: "Small people, please see Your Highness!"
"No need to be so polite, all of them get up and talk." Cons waved his hand helplessly, but his orders were not fully implemented, and it was impossible for them to sit down.
Because the retainers and these old men opposed his orders, they insisted on kneeling on the ground and waiting for Cons' inquiry. There was no way, the hierarchy on the flying peninsula was too strict, and the tenant farmers would give way when they saw a wild warrior, let alone pay their respects to the governor of the ruling power like Cons.
"You are the old people living in nearby villages. Do you know what the plants in this valley are there?" Cons asked.
"Your Highness, the people in Xiaomin Village are moving around here no matter how they cut wood and mow grass, so they know what plants are in the valley." An old man in the first place carefully raised his head and replied respectfully, while dozens of other old men all put their heads on the ground without saying a word.
"Well, then you go in and see what plants are poached." Although Cons is not used to the elderly treating himself so respectfully, this is a custom, and it cannot be changed by his ability, so he didn't say much, and waved his hand directly and asked the warriors to take these old people into the valley to identify.
The answer came out soon. As the old man said, the life in their village revolves around this valley. They were all very familiar with every grass and tree inside, so when they went in, they immediately shouted: "The sage is gone!"
"Macao? What does it look like and what does it do?" Cons asked immediately, and all the other retainers also raised their ears. They were extremely surprised, is this grass worth the amount of time spent by the vicious ones?
"Your Highness, this land was originally covered with dense squid grass. The grass, the size of a finger, is only two or three inches long, with serrated edges, and is all grown from a single plant. It tastes bitter and dry and tough, and tastes the same as chewing bark, so no animal will eat it.
"But this grass has a function, which is to numb the body, and if the leg is broken, eating a numb grass will not only prevent the pain from being completely felt, but also walk with the broken leg.
"But this ermust not heal the wound, it can only eliminate the pain. Moreover, it is so bitter that the whole mouth will numb. No matter what you eat within thirty or forty days, you won't feel the smell of water even if you drink water.
"So people in our village just collect one or two pieces and carry them on their bodies to prevent serious injuries. Generally, they are unwilling to use this grass for minor injuries."
The old man could understand it, and Cons and the others could understand it. When Cons and the people who had fought with the puppet soldiers heard about the situation after eating the ermud, they immediately understood why someone spent so much time digging the ermud here!
"Damn it! Macao is actually an important material for creating puppet demons!" Xiang Wen and others were all the lotus immediately turned ashen.
Looking at the wheel marks outside the valley, you will know that they have loaded more than ten carriages of hemp! A raw material hemp that has not been processed has such a huge effect, so they have processed it. Who knows how many puppets a piece of grass can make?
And what is most shocking is that these ermulas were dug up with roots. Who knows if this ermula can be planted elsewhere? If it can be planted, wouldn’t it have a steady stream of materials?
While others were still shocked by the dense puppet soldiers in their minds, Cons had already asked, "Do you have this kind of erectile sack on them?"
"Yes, yes, there are people in our village." Dozens of old men immediately took out a few withered yellow, fingers, a little thinner than cowhide, and serrated erectile vegetation on both sides, holding them in both hands.
The inner guards were all clever people, so they immediately took out a bag to put away the hemp and gave it to Cons.
Cons asked as he took the bag, "Is there any such erectile sausage nearby?"
Most of the old people were shaking their heads, but after thinking for a while, an old man said timidly: "Your Highness, when Xiaomin was in the army decades ago, he heard from his companions that there were such macao in his village, and his village was near the small hill city."
The others were shocked, there were still such a powerful thing!
Cons immediately asked, "Where is the small hill city?"
"Xiaomin has never been there, so I don't know. However, the small mountain city should belong to our Longzhan realm, because my companion and I were the regular soldiers of the Longzhan family at that time." The old man said hurriedly.
When Cons wanted to ask his subordinates, Xiangwen suddenly said in a stern tone: "Well? Do you still remember what happened decades ago?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but stare at the old man, and the warriors even pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.
It’s not their fault for being suspicious, but what they said when they were standing soldiers decades ago, and they had never been to this place yet. They still remember so clearly after decades? It’s suspicious.
Of course, the old man saw everyone's suspicion of him, and immediately lay on the ground and howled, "Ah, Xiaomin is because my companion has such a special erectile vegetarian presence in his hometown, so he is very close to him, so Xiaomin remembers it so clearly."
When everyone was stunned when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel that they were too sensitive. If they met a comrade who had the same specialties as their hometown, they might have made friends with each other. If they became familiar with each other, it would be normal to not forget them after decades.
"Okay, I didn't say I doubt you. Tell me, how should I use this erectile slaughter?" Most of the insiders' hearts were shocked. There was no stupid guy who could accompany Cons around him, and they all listened carefully.
Several old men who seemed very prestigious immediately gestured and said, "Just put it in your mouth and chew it directly. You can drink it with water, but the effect of soaking water is not so obvious. You will still feel a little pain if you have severe injuries caused by broken legs and hands."
"How much is the appropriate amount? How long does the effect last?" Cons continued.
"One, no, half, more than half is very effective. It will take about a month for half or one to return to normal."
“What happens to overdose?”
"Eating more than two sticks will cause the whole person to become stiff and will not recover for more than half a year."
“What is the difference between fresh and dry?”
"It seems that there is no difference between fresh and dried ones, but the fresh taste is bitter."
"What other problems are there except numb mouth after use?"
"If there is no overdose, there will be no other problem. However, because the body has no pain and the wound is not noticed, I am afraid that the blood will flow away."
"In other words, after eating ermush, there is no other problem except that there is no taste and no pain. Will you lose consciousness? That is, you will fall into a coma?"
"No, unless you eat too much and your body is so stiff that you can't move, there is no problem."
"How do you react after eating ermust? Will your actions be as neat as normal?"
"Of course it won't be the same as normal. After eating ermud, I'm very slow and my brain becomes less flexible. If there weren't such a problem, the people in our village would eat ermud to fight beasts.
"Our ancestors tried it and wanted to see if we could fight the beast after the pain was not felt, but in the end it was easily eaten by the beast."
The old man looked up and grinned, and that meant a little ridiculous. However, they quickly realized who they were talking to, and they immediately lowered their heads in fear.
Cons felt that he had nothing to ask about, so he waved his hand: "Well, everyone will give you a silver coin, you can go back."
The inner guard immediately took out the silver coins and handed them over. The silver coins immediately made the old men who had been afraid to breathe a breath suddenly spit out a heavy breath. They were stunned for a few seconds before they hurriedly knelt down to thank Cons for the reward.
Looking at the backs of the old men, Xiang Wen held the hilt and asked quietly, "Sir, do you want to give them..." The warrior next to him stared at the old men with a fierce look. They knew that Xiang Wen had not expressed the meaning. According to what they thought, it would be better to silence them. Such good things cannot be spread.
Although the ermush has many problems, the function of eliminating pain can bring great benefits to soldiers on the battlefield, because many of them die of excessive blood loss after fainting.
Think about it, if your arms are cut off or your stomach is pierced, most people will definitely feel dizzy, which means they are useless. But with this erectile sausage, you can bandage it yourself and continue to rush, and even survive because of it.
Cons shook his head: "No, according to my estimate, there are many places like this kind of macaque on Feidu Peninsula. Think about it, there are two places that Longzhan County knows now. Among them, the small mountain city is not even clear about those mysterious people, and it is possible that there are other places. From this we can judge that this kind of macaque will never be rare."
"But won't they tell me?" Xiang Wen still thought about it.
"People who need to know have known it for a long time, but those who don't know still don't know it. There is no need to restrict it, otherwise it will attract the attention of the world.
"At the same time, I also believe that this kind of erectile dysfunction is not a secret among the people. Among the people who lack medical treatment and medicine, this erectile dysfunction has probably been used as a cheap life-saving thing and spread all over the world. That is, we who are not lacking medicine and are superior will not know it.
