Chapter 2225: Collecting Herbs on the Cliff

After the heavy rain, the mountain forest was filled with a night wind, which was piercingly cold. The occasional calls of unknown animals made people feel creepy.

"Qiqi, come closer to me."

Feng Qingyang was shivering. He was carrying a basket with some herbs in it.

"It's okay, Feng Qingyang. Look at how deep the valley is. If you fall in, you will be smashed into a pulp in no time and you won't feel any pain."

Qiqi was also carrying a backpack.

Both of them were hanging by ropes.

They were a small group of dozens of people, searching for herbs along the way and entering the forest. Because this forest was at the junction of the Qin and Wei sides, they might encounter the Qin army at any time, so when they entered the mountain, they wrapped cotton on the horse's hooves.

To avoid alerting the Qin army, they entered the mountain at night without lighting torches, fearing that their whereabouts would be revealed. In the first half of the night, they collected some herbs under the moonlight. Suddenly, it rained heavily at midnight. Mountain torrents broke out in the forest, making everything wet and slippery, which made it extremely difficult for them to collect herbs.

Fortunately, the herbs were almost collected, and only the last two important herbs were missing. Those two herbs were also the most difficult to collect, and they were only found on the cliffs of a few deep valleys. It had rained, and there were no stars in the sky. It was so dark, and for the soldiers who didn't know much about herbs, it was impossible to collect these herbs in the dark.

But they had to complete all the herb-collecting tasks tonight, because these cliffs were close to the Qin army camp. It had just rained, and people would definitely leave traces after passing by. Once the Qin army found out at dawn, it would be difficult to come here to collect herbs again.

So Lu Bei had no choice but to let some soldiers carry the collected herbs back to the camp, leaving only about twenty soldiers with better martial arts and knowledge of herbs. When they reached the cliff, two soldiers pulled the rope from above, and one soldier tied the rope around his waist, then held the iron claw in his hand, carried the backpack, and went down to collect herbs. This way of collecting herbs can only be done by touch and smell. Eyes are almost useless. Qiqi and Feng Qingyang are the ones who know herbs best among the twenty or so people, so there is no reason not to go down.

Feng Qingyang was so timid that he almost fainted. However, he was the only one who could smell the herbs from hundreds of meters away. If he didn't go down, who would? Besides, Qiqi had already gone down. As a grown man, how could he not go down? He could only stretch his waist palely and let someone tie the rope around his waist to go down. Every time he went down a little, his whole body trembled. He kept whispering to Qiqi in a trembling voice, asking Qiqi to get closer to him.

At first, Lu Bei refused to let Qiqi go down. It was too dangerous. If something went wrong, he would not be able to face the prince.

But Qiqi insisted on going down and he couldn't persuade her at all.

"what--"

Feng Qingyang suddenly screamed, startling Qiqi.

"what happened?"

"Something crawled over my hand."

Feng Qingyang was about to cry.

"You are just a coward. What could happen? Maybe it was just water from the weeds dripping on your hand. Why are you screaming? Be careful not to alert the Qin army. Then you will be dead."

"What happened?"

With a low sound, Lu Bei quickly jumped up along the rope from below like a monkey.

"It's okay, Feng Qingyang was just yelling nonsense."

Lu Bei glanced at Qi Qi.

"I'll take him down to pick them, you go up."
