Xiao Miaoer grew a little taller, and his leaves thickened a little. However, there were no fruits until the leaves blossomed. She Miao also could not figure out what exactly this spirit grass was, and even her grandfather could not figure it out.
On this day, the seedlings planned to make another trip to the mountains before harvest time to collect some wild fruits and mushrooms. If they were lucky, they could pick some herbs and exchange them for winter materials.
She was born with a pair of sharp eyes, almost effortless, and could often find mushrooms under trees covered in weeds and fallen leaves, or know which tree had the sweetest, crispest, and most juicy fruit. In short, every time she entered the mountain, she would not have the time to fight. Many children in the village liked to go into the mountain with her. However, she went alone today.
Just like before, the harvest was bountiful. The seedlings were happy, and the rhubarb was also in high spirits. They kicked the rabbits to chase the pheasants. Occasionally, they would pick up the fruits and give them to their young masters.
"Big Yellow!" The seedling smiled as it patted its head. Then, it took the fruit and weighed it in its hand before tossing it into the distance.
"Go!"
Big Yellow was running in the direction of the fruits.
This was not the first time she had entered a mountain. The seedlings were not worried about losing the rhubarb or being eaten by wild beasts. She was humming a small tune as she descended the mountain.
In the end, Big Yellow didn't come back for a long time. Instead, he was screaming non-stop in the forest not far away from them.
She Miao's heart skipped a beat. Feeling uneasy, she called out, "Big Yellow, come back!"
Rhubarb did not bark back as usual. Instead, he barked louder.
He Miao stopped walking and followed the direction of the rhubarb.
Before he even saw Big Yellow, he smelled a bloody scent. He became alert and walked a few steps faster. He then quietly took out a machete from his basket.
Soon, she saw two legs spread across the ground. The figure was hiding behind a tall pine tree, and the smell of blood was coming from that direction. Big Yellow also jumped out from the bushes and started circling around her, occasionally baring his teeth at the pine trees.
She Miao brought her machete around to the front and saw a man dressed in fragrant rosy silk clothing. His hair was in disarray and there were traces of blood on his clothes. It was unknown just where he was injured. He had fainted.
She Miao looked around cautiously while Big Yellow pricked up her ears with a solemn expression. After a while, it tilted its head and rubbed its head against the leg of the young man's pants.
Seeing that the surroundings were safe for the time being, She Miao let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she kneel down and examine the man's wounds.
There was a wound on the left side of his waist, which was covered by a piece of cloth. There was a bit of blood on it, but there were a few scratches on his arm. Seems like he had lost too much blood and fainted.
He Miao was helping the wounded man to lie down. Just as he was about to untie the other party's clothes and rebandage his wound, he was caught off guard by a big hand!
He wanted to shake it off, but a low, hoarse voice suddenly came from beside his ear.
"Don't move! "Who are you!"
Big Yellow, who was standing on the side, started to howl!
"Tell your dog to shut up! "Get lost." The man's breathing quickened and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
She Miao felt ssher wrist being gripped tighter. She calmed down, ignoring the cold look on her neck. She had to first calm down Big Yellow and get away from him. Big Yellow obediently took two steps back and sobbed a few times. Then, he suddenly turned around and ran away. After a few steps, he disappeared into the bushes without a trace.
"The man's breathing became heavier." You'd better pray that stupid dog doesn't bring anyone here! "
She Miao cursed in her heart, as she slowed down her speech and put on a very gentle posture, "Big brother, can you please let go of your knife? The little girl was from the mountain and was picking up fruits and herbs. She didn't expect that Big Yellow would find her big brother's trace, so she called the little girl over. "Yet, big brother views this little girl as a scoundrel …"
The man lifted her chin with the back of his knife and studied her closely.
It was only then that She Miao noticed the man's appearance, and she was immediately astounded!
Beautiful, beautiful! How does the book describe it? Although her skin was not very white and had a healthy tinge to it, it was still whiter than the men who worked all day in the village. It was a hundred times prettier than the son of the rumored most beautiful Immortal guest that came to the restaurant!
The young man's face was flushed red. The man shifted his gaze away. It was likely that he was already used to such a situation.
