In the Hopeless Forest, GongYimo yawned as she listened to the experienced herb gatherer talk about medicinal knowledge. She felt a little sleepy.
"Young master, if I bring you to the Water Cloud Grass, will you really give me a hundred taels?"
The herb gatherer was still worried, so he confirmed again!
GongYimo took out a banknote from her sleeve and waved it in front of him. "See this? A hundred taels, it's genuine! Hurry up! "
"Hey hey! Come with me, I'll definitely bring you to it! Definitely! I know where it is! "
As he grinned, he let his imagination run wild. "Hehe, you're really my benefactor! When I have this money, I'll have my daughter's dowry! She always said that I didn't buy her nice clothes and hair ornaments. Hehe, this time I'll buy a big basket of them! I'll change her clothes every day! "
GongYimo listened and couldn't deny it. Although Dai Yu State was considered liberal, the status of women was still very low. This old man sounded like a henpecked husband, which was rare.
They chatted along the way and walked for a whole day. In the evening, they finally arrived at the location where the herb gatherer found the Water Cloud Grass … At this time, the two of them were lying on a mound, quietly looking at the big tiger in front of them. Looking at it from such a close distance, it looked really majestic.
The herb gatherer was so scared that his face turned pale. He knew there was a tiger here, but it was the first time he was so close. He quickly took out the medicine he prepared and applied it on himself. He didn't forget to apply some on GongYimo.
"I don't need it. I only want to ask you, are you sure there's it there?"
"There is, there is. I saw it there last time. Not only is there Water Cloud Grass, there's also Fire Cloud Grass! It's just that that's the tiger's territory, so I didn't dare to pick it … "
GongYimo nodded. "Then wait here. I'll be back soon!"
As she spoke, she walked out!
"Hey! Wait! "
The old herb gatherer shouted, but she had already run out.
It's over. This person is dead for sure!
When the big tiger saw someone running in, it carefully walked around her. When it saw that she didn't have any weapons, it angrily pounced on her!
The herb gatherer was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes!
It's over. One hundred taels is gone! And this person died at such a young age. It's too pitiful!
But he heard a whimper and muffled sound... He opened his eyes and saw that the tiger had fallen to the ground, but its stomach was still undulating. It should have just fainted.
Gong Yi Mo grinned at him. "Hurry up and come!"
"Hey! Hey! I'm coming, I'm coming! "
As he ran over, he stared at the tiger. He had clearly run past it, but he seemed to have thought of something and turned back. He pulled some branches and the like to cover the tiger!
Gong Yi Mo looked at him, somewhat amused. "What are you doing? Are you afraid that it'll be killed by hunters? "
He wiped his sweat and smiled kindly. "This tiger's nature isn't bad. As long as you don't step into its territory, it won't hurt anyone. It's all thanks to it that the nearby herbs are growing so well. Because there aren't many people who dare to go near it, I can rely on it to secretly earn some money."
GongYimo thought for a moment and slowly said, "You can let a rabbit go because it won't hurt you in the future. But if you let a tiger go, it can kill you in the future. Aren't you making life difficult for yourself by doing this?"
The herb gatherer chuckled. "This old man picks herbs for a living. Previously, I relied on it to occasionally pick some good herbs and live a good life. In the future, with the one hundred taels that young master gave me, I won't be picking herbs anymore. I can even do some business! So, not only is it harmless to me, I'm indebted to it! "
"Then what if other herb gatherers meet it?"
At this moment, the old man narrowed his eyes and said something thought-provoking.
"Then it's another karma. I shouldn't interfere."
When GongYimo heard this, she was stunned. She was pulled forward by the herb gatherer in a daze. Looking at his graying hair, she suddenly smiled. He obviously had a hard time, but he still relied on his intelligence and worked hard to survive.
Perhaps everyone had great wisdom in their hearts. It was just that some people were good at summarizing things, while others weren't.
But for those who weren't good at summarizing things, their lives might not be uninteresting.
Soon, they saw a large patch of Fire Cloud Grass. And among the Fire Cloud Grass, there were several strands of Water Cloud Grass! Red and green, full of vitality!
This strange scene made GongYimo's reverence for nature deepen. Deep in her heart, she felt a trace of gentleness. That was a gift from Mother Earth. Just a little bit was enough to fill one's heart with joy!
The herb gatherer smiled and said fawningly, "Young Master … these herbs all belong to you. But for these Fire Cloud Grass, can I take two strands?" His wife had a cold body and suffered from back pain all year round. Eating this could cure her illness! This was a rare good thing! It couldn't be bought outside even if you had money!
GongYimo didn't care. She gestured for him to do as he pleased, and then gave him a hundred taels of silver.
He was full of joy. He held the money tightly in one hand, and carefully held the two strands of Fire Cloud Grass in the other. He thought to himself, today was a big harvest!
Then, he gratefully said goodbye to GongYimo and hurried down the mountain! He wanted to tell this good news to his wife and daughter!
GongYimo smiled and shook her head. She lowered her head and continued to pick the herbs. She didn't know much about medicine, but she knew that this thing could cure Gong Che's heart disease. She had looked for it before, but didn't see it. This time, she heard Qiu Xingfeng say that there was Fire Cloud Grass here, so she wanted to try her luck!
Looking at the green plant in her hand, GongYimo sighed softly. She couldn't respond to Gong Che. So, this was her compensation for Gong Che? Hmm … it didn't seem good … she was in a dilemma.
At this moment, a scream was heard!
GongYimo knew that it was the herb gatherer. Thinking, she quickly ran over to take a look.
Her eyes turned red when she saw it!
Long Hanyan ended the old man's life and snatched the Fire Cloud Grass from his hand.
The poor old man died with his eyes wide open. When he died, he still held the hundred taels of silver in his hand, as if he was afraid that it would run away. Unfortunately … he couldn't use it anymore!
"Hmph! Old thing, you don't know what's good for you. I gave you money and you didn't sell it. You just want more money, right?! "
Long Hanyan pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood on his clothes. She looked at him with disdain.
But she really misunderstood. The old man didn't want to sell it not for money, but because his wife also needed it. Unfortunately, Long Hanyan suppressed the anger in her heart and refused to listen to him.
Qiu Xingfeng saw that she killed people just like that, and for the first time, a trace of anger appeared in his heart!
"What are you doing? Why did you kill him?!"
At this moment, GongYimo's angry voice was heard.
"I also want to ask, why did you kill him?"
