Chapter 119 Root System
I don’t know how many days it has been since I left home.
Jiang Ning drove the car, refueling every time he arrived at a place, then checking the condition of the vehicle, stocking up on supplies, and then embarking on a new journey again.
She picked each herb by hand, then carefully collected them and placed them in an incubator.
This ensures that they remain as they were at the beginning before they were collectively exploited.
"OK, we have collected all the information here, let's go to the next location."
Jiang Ning pulled out a piece of medicinal herb still covered in dirt from the ground, then simply cleaned up the mess on his hands and got back on the steering wheel.
The car stopped halfway and didn't start.
The puppy held the incubator, counted the number of herbs inside with his fingers, then showed a happy expression and said to Jiang Ning:
"One, two, three... That's great. I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect to finish collecting them so quickly. I only need one more herb to complete the collection!!!"
Jiang Ning was also happy to see the puppy happy. She asked the puppy:
"Where's our last stop?"
The puppy took a look at the knowledge and said hesitantly:
"It's fast, but a little dangerous. We need to climb a mountain. And this mountain has never been climbed before and will never be climbed again. Almost no one has ever climbed it. Otherwise..."
Jiang Ning put on sunglasses, her eyes showing disdain. She glanced at the puppy and said:
"What else? Since we have come this far, can you bear to see us lose everything? No matter how dangerous it is, just come on, I am not afraid."
The puppy glanced at Jiang Ning, his eyes full of admiration for her.
"Okay! I feel relieved with your words. Let's go now!"
Jiang Ning stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and finally saw the top of the mountain before dark.
As she looked around, she saw the terrifying cliffs, estimated to be about one thousand meters above sea level, and no signs of human mining, it was still in its most pristine state.
Jiang Ning thought to himself: No wonder no one has been able to climb this mountain in all these years. It turns out that they have been scared away by this mountain from the very beginning, hahahaha.
She looked back at the supplies she had left. Fortunately, she had stockpiled some before coming here, otherwise it would definitely not be enough.
However, these may not be enough for her alone. Climbing is a job that consumes a lot of physical energy, and food is the most important thing. Without enough strength, it would be difficult to climb up.
Looking at Jiang Ning's worried expression, Xiao Gou had a general idea of what was going on.
It was not ignorant, so it said to Jiang Ning:
"What's wrong? Is it difficult to solve? Otherwise, I'd rather not do it. You've helped me a lot during this period of time, and I don't want to bother you any more..."
Jiang Ning threw an apple at the puppy to express her current feelings. She didn't like the puppy saying such discouraging words.
She also couldn't understand why she had to think so much before things even started happening?
"Nonsense, I definitely won't give up so easily. You know I'm not that kind of person. I was just wondering, are these enough for the two of us to eat together?"
While talking, Jiang Ning had already sorted all the things into categories and packed them in his schoolbag.
Try to bring as little stuff as possible. This will not only save you energy, but also free up more space for food, giving you a greater chance of reaching the top of the mountain.
The puppy was a little shy, and then spoke in a pretentious manner:
"It's okay if you don't eat it... Actually... I ate your food just to piss you off. Just take your own portion, as long as it's enough for you."
Jiang Ning angrily zipped up his backpack, then put the bag on his back and walked ahead alone, with no intention of waiting for the puppy.
Before leaving, she left a message:
"If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have left now and wouldn't have waited for you."
When the puppy saw Jiang Ning walking in front of him, he hurried over, took a photo of himself with the cutest expression, and apologized to Jiang Ning, saying:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was afraid you would scold me, so I didn't dare to say that. But now I've told you. You are a generous person, so please forgive me, okay?"
But Jiang Ning still ignored it and just walked on his own.
It seemed that Jiang Ning had finally become so annoyed that she could no longer bear it. In the end, she said something in a huff. However, it was also progress, at least it was much better than when she ignored it at the beginning.
"Why are you still here? I have to pick them myself anyway. They won't work if they're picked by you. Hurry up and get up. I didn't say I won't help you."
The puppy thanked him repeatedly and said:
"Thank you, thank you. I knew you were the best."
However, this was actually much more difficult than he had imagined. Jiang Ning was already sweating profusely before he had even reached half the distance.
Moreover, there seemed to be many mosquitoes here that could not be named. They all had disgusting and terrifying appearances, making Jiang Ning feel a little physically uncomfortable.
Jiang Ning kept climbing up, and her hiking pole broke in the end. In the end, it was only with her two hands and her perseverance that she reached the top.
Sure enough, the scenery above is better than that below, and even the air is fresher than that at the bottom. Maybe this is why so many people are trying their best to climb up.
The puppy pointed to a white flower bud blooming on a cliff and said:
"Look there! Look there! Right there! The Raindrop White Epiphyllum. It is said that this thing is very beautiful when it blooms. It would be great if I could see it."
Jiang Ning smiled helplessly:
"I'm not blind. I was less than ten meters away from him. Besides, you're just using it as a medicinal ingredient for your own body. I warn you, don't push it too far."
The puppy showed that cute smile again. It knew in its heart that Jiang Ning was the most susceptible to this. Then it said to Jiang Ning in a coquettish manner:
"Oh, I'm really excited! When I think about owning my own body soon, I feel like I'm the happiest kid in the world!"
Jiang Ning didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked carefully to the edge of the cliff, picked up the white flower, and dug the soil around the flower vigorously, hoping to pull the flower out by the roots.
But this time it was not as easy as before. It was as if the flower had grown into the stone and could not be removed no matter what I did.
Jiang Ning turned around and shouted to the puppy behind him:
"Why are you still standing there? Come and help me! Aren't you the one who benefits in the end anyway?"
She continued to try to pick flowers, but it seemed to be of no avail.
From time to time, even stones would become loose due to the vibration, and then those small stones would roll down the steep cliff and fall to the ground.
"Oh, oh, I'm coming right away, just hold on a little longer, I'll be there in a minute!"
Jiang Ning suddenly felt that the voice seemed a little far away from him, but he didn't know why.
She turned around curiously and saw the puppy trying hard to pull out another flower.
Looking closely, the flower was actually completely perpendicular to the cliff. Fortunately, the puppy could fly, so it could reach it, but Jiang Ning could only look on.
Looking back at his current situation, Jiang Ning decided to call the puppy over first. After all, any help he could get was helpful.
So she shouted loudly behind her:
"Don't pull it out, it's useless. Don't waste your energy. Why don't you come and help me?"
But as soon as she finished saying this, the puppy pulled out the unopened letter by the roots.
I saw that the flower had an extremely huge root system, which was almost ten times the size of the flower itself.
Jiang Ning thought: No wonder it can grow on cliffs. I didn’t expect it to be so strong. No wonder I couldn’t pull it out after trying for a long time. It turns out you are so powerful.
She took another look at the flower in her hand and decided to have a final duel with it.
So Jiang Ning used almost all his strength and finally got it out intact.
But unfortunately, I still couldn't get a complete flower.
It broke at the flower stem. Jiang Ning didn't actually pull the flower out by the roots, but he broke it directly because he used too much force.
Jiang Ning glanced at the withered flowers in his hand and said with some distress:
"I don't know if this will still work, but it should. I'll know when I show it to the master. That's it for today. We should leave now. We shouldn't stay here for long."
