Chapter 201: 1 Touch 1
That day, the people from the escort agency not only delivered the ore, but also brought good news.
"What you said is true." Mo Rao asked excitedly.
"Girl, we don't know if this is it, but the tree is exactly the same as the description in the picture you gave us. We even brought one here so that you can see it." As he said this, he moved a rubber tree down from the carriage.
Mo Rao looked at the sapling in her hand in disbelief. It was a rubber tree. It was indeed a rubber tree.
"Where did you get this tree?" Mo Rao asked excitedly.
This kind of tree grows in tropical regions. If you want to plant this tree, you must have the species.
The escort said hurriedly, "The young lady had told us to keep an eye out for this tree before. The caravan happened to pass by the dock while on its way, so we asked carefully and found out about it. The caravans normally come once every six months, and there's no fixed time."
It was said to take six months, but no one could predict the risks at sea. If something unexpected happened, it would be normal for it to take several years. So we had no choice but to give up.
We make our living as escorts, so it's impossible for us to stay in one place. Just recently, our escort agency took on a mission from Yunan. When we passed by Yuwu Mountain, we happened to see this plant.
They entered Yuwu Mountain by chance. They were transporting jewelry from a jewelry store and were targeted by bandits on the way. To protect the goods, they had no choice but to hide in the mountains. Without paying attention, they actually ran into Yuwu Mountain.
When the bandits saw that they had hidden in Yuwu Mountain, they stopped chasing them.
Yuwu Mountain was a famous gathering place for wild animals. There were not only lions and tigers, but also giant pythons. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. If they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been killed.
It was also at that time that they discovered a rubber tree and dug it up.
When they escaped from Yuwu Mountain, they also suffered heavy losses, and they also lost two bodyguards.
They had always lived on the edge of life, buried where they died. Although such an outcome was sad, life had to go on.
So after they delivered the goods, they thought about coming to Mojia Village.
This time they came and brought some ore.
The geographical locations of these minerals are marked on the atlas, making them easier to find.
Mo Rao was delighted with the news brought by the escorts. Regardless, she planned to lead someone there, so she gave the escorts five hundred taels as a reward. She asked them to lead the way, so they could find the place faster.
The escorts did not expect that this little girl would be so generous. After accepting the money, the escorts naturally expressed their willingness to lead the way for them.
Mo Rao brought five guards and set off with the escorts the next day. This time, Twelve also went along.
Li Lingye did not travel with them this time because he received a letter from home in Kyoto and rushed back to Kyoto without stopping.
Before leaving, Li Lingye left two secret guards to the Mo family to protect the safety of the Mo family, especially Mo Rao, at critical moments.
When Mo Rao knew that Li Lingye was going back, she felt a little depressed, but what was coming would eventually come. Since she couldn't change it, she had to accept it. Men were not everything in her life, and life had to go on, so she quickly adjusted her mood.
Now that Mo Rao has set off with five guards, the secret guards must naturally follow to protect the safety of the master's family.
Mo Rao now has a lot of ores in his hands, some of which were found by his own guards and some by the escort agency.
The specific locations where each type of ore was found were also marked. She has sent people to confirm these places. If there are no problems, she will buy the mountain directly.
Therefore, most of the guards she had were sent out by her, and there were not many people she could use. Although she knew there were people in the dark, she would not expose them.
She knew that he was the person left behind by Li Lingye, and she happened to be short of people. He was willing to stay in the dark, so she didn't bother to care about him.
After five days of galloping, we finally arrived at Yuwu Mountain. From afar, the mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
As they got closer, they noticed something different about the mountain. They could see green on the ground and small trees were sprouting.
The further you go inside, the more obvious the contrast becomes, and even the temperature around you becomes different.
The further they walked, the more lush the greenery became, and the temperature around them grew increasingly hot. It felt like a scorching summer day, and the cotton clothes gradually became a burden. When they reached a valley, the scene before them was even more astonishing.
Is this a paradise on earth? Even Twelve, who usually keeps his emotions expressionless, exclaimed in amazement.
This place is so beautiful, with a sea of flowers in front of you, butterflies dancing in the sea of flowers, it is as beautiful as a fairyland. Mo Rao even has the urge to retire here.
However, this thought only lasted a moment. After all, this place is sparsely populated. If you live here, you have to be prepared to lose touch with the outside world, so this is definitely not possible. Moreover, the temperature here is obviously abnormal, and if something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
When we came here, we already had a general understanding of the valley, so everyone brought a medicine bag to protect themselves from snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Otherwise, with the normal temperature here, they would have been bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants long ago.
After passing through the sea of flowers, they arrived at the place where the escorts discovered the rubber trees. There were many wild animals here, so they were extremely alert and observed their surroundings.
"Miss, that's where the tree is located. We can only take you here." The escort bowed and apologized.
Mo Rao said nonchalantly, "Master, you are so polite. We are already very grateful that you have led the way for us."
I hope everyone will be more careful, and the escorts left after saying this.
It was already good enough that they were able to get here, so Mo Rao didn't think it was a big deal. Moreover, the escorts along the way also explained to them the dangers inside, which gave them some peace of mind.
Walking through the sea of flowers, the trees on the mountain ahead are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, as if holding up a large green umbrella for the mountain. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows, giving people a sense of tranquility and mystery.
Continuing up, we'll see a variety of flowers and plants. They bloom in the mountains, a dazzling array of colors and exuding a subtle fragrance. But there's more to the air than just that aroma. It's a faint, inconspicuous scent, but not too noticeable. Sure enough, we spotted rubber tree seedlings not far away.
