After viciously spitting out a thick glob of phlegm, Sun ng glanced back at Xiaohe Village and sneered, "Does anyone of you know who that guy just now was?"
Hearing Sun ng's bitter inquiry, one of his henchn quickly responded, "Brother Sun, he should be Hu Xiaobei!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's answer, Sun ng muttered the na several tis, only to realize that he had no recollection of it!
Seeing the puzzled look on Sun ng's face, that henchman hurriedly continued, "Brother Sun, it's normal for you not to have heard of him, he's just an ordinary person from Xiaohe Village."
"An ordinary person? Got it! Next ti we co here, bring weapons. If he dares to stop us again, beat him rcilessly, got it?"
Thinking about how he had lost face in front of so many people because of Hu Xiaobei, he now hated Hu Xiaobei so much that he imdiately issued a lethal order filled with malice.
"Yes!"
Knowing that Sun ng was very angry, they didn't hesitate and firmly agreed.
With their response, Sun ng nodded lightly, and just like that, they left Xiaohe Village in high spirits...
Hu Xiaobei was unaware that they were now targeting him!
At this point, Hu Xiaobei had already returned to his own dwelling.
His so-called dwelling was actually a modest straw hut; Hu Xiaobei's parents had both perished in a mudslide, so he had been living alone ever since.
After a hasty al, Hu Xiaobei sat in the yard, once again ticulously organizing the legacy he had received from Shennong, Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture.
In Hu Xiaobei's eyes, since it was a legacy, it should be helpful to him!
However, after organizing it, Hu Xiaobei felt frustrated!
Because he discovered that Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture only detailed various dicinal herbs and prescriptions...
"This 'Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture' clearly has a continuation, but it seems I am not qualified to view it now!"
Hu Xiaobei could clearly feel its vastness, yet when he tried to delve further, he found it shrouded in layers of fog, to put it simply; he could not see through it at all!
"Introducing so many herbs and prescriptions is useless! Because now there's no way to find the dicinal herbs!"
At this mont, Hu Xiaobei was bitterly lanting...
The Xiaohe Village where Hu Xiaobei lived was backed by a continuous chain of mountains. In the past, there used to be many precious dicinal materials on the mountain, but after countless people went up to gather herbs, the dicinal materials on the mountain were basically all picked clean!
Also, because of this, Hu Xiaobei knew that even if he was aware of the uses of various herbs, or knew various prescriptions, it was really aningless!
After all, a good cook can't cook without rice!
As he was thinking this, Hu Xiaobei felt images erging in his mind...
Upon looking carefully, Hu Xiaobei realized that what appeared in his mind was a topographic map of the back mountain, and on this map were many glowing white dots!
"What... what do these white dots an?"
After muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei quickly left his house!
He was now prepared to go up the mountain to see what these white dots represented specifically!
Just as he left the village, Hu Xiaobei saw a familiar figure not far ahead...
It was Guo iyu!
Seeing Guo iyu carrying a dicine basket on her back, Hu Xiaobei knew she was obviously planning to go up the mountain to gather herbs...
With that thought, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked over!
"Hey, sister-in-law!"
"Ah! Xiaobei, is that you?"
Seeing her still a bit listless, Hu Xiaobei knew she must still be worried about those thugs. Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei spoke up, "Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain to pick herbs?"
"Yes!"
Guo iyu nodded briskly!
Guo iyu knew since she had been saddled with those ruffians, the only thing to do was figure out how to pay them back. Otherwise, they would definitely keep coming to cause trouble for her!
"Then let help you look for the herbs!"
"Thanks, Xiaobei! But no need; I can manage on my own!"
Guo iyu really wanted to accept the help, but she declined!
Because Guo iyu knew that Hu Xiaobei had already helped her a lot before, and now she really needed to rely on herself!
Feeling Guo iyu's resoluteness, Hu Xiaobei didn't persist and instead smiled, "Sister-in-law, then I wish you luck!"
"Okay!"
Watching Guo iyu walk away, Hu Xiaobei also headed for the back mountain; of course, Hu Xiaobei didn't take the sa path as Guo iyu!
Honestly, Hu Xiaobei wanted to quietly follow her, but he knew that the most important thing for him was to first verify what those white dots really represented!
After a series of turns, Hu Xiaobei arrived at the location of the first white dot. He looked down and saw a small plant with a light purple hue...
Dragon Spirit Grass: A three-year-old herbaceous plant where the entire body is dicinal, with the root being the most valuable, followed by the leaves.
"Could it be... all these dense white dots are herbs? If that's the case, then I've really struck it rich this ti!"
After saying this excitedly, Hu Xiaobei swallowed eagerly a few tis!
Afterward, Hu Xiaobei took out the small black shovel he carried with him!
Once he had the shovel in hand, Hu Xiaobei carefully dug it up from the ground!
Knowing the roots were most valuable, Hu Xiaobei didn't damage them at all...
After digging it out, Hu Xiaobei carefully examined it for a mont, then holding it, he hurriedly headed to the next white dot...
An hour later, Hu Xiaobei began to regret not bringing a dicine basket; now he couldn't carry anymore!
By now, Hu Xiaobei was absolutely certain that those dense white dots represented various dicinal herbs!
"Better go ho first!"
Knowing he couldn't carry anymore, so Hu Xiaobei decided to go ho to get a dicine basket!
As Hu Xiaobei began his descent, Guo iyu, who had parted from him earlier, also silently turned to head down the mountain!
In the past hour, Guo iyu hadn't stopped searching ticulously everywhere on the mountain, but no matter how much she searched, it was futile, making her feel helpless!
There was nothing she could do but to descend the mountain despondently!
Before, Guo iyu thought she could find so herbs in the back mountain, but now she knew she was just deluding herself!
After sighing once more, Guo iyu murmured to herself despondently, "Yes, all the herbs on the mountain were picked clean before. Unless I have incredible luck, there's just no way to find any now!"
While walking down the mountain, Guo iyu quietly consoled herself...
At that mont, Guo iyu suddenly heard soone calling her na. She turned around and saw Hu Xiaobei running towards her with a face full of excitent...
