Chapter 177: Accident

The old Daoist had left, but Lin Shougui didn't believe his words, instead, he kept calling for Fat Ya.

It was only until she turned five that he changed his tune.

Right behind Stone Village lay the mountains dense with wild herbs. Each year some itinerant doctors would come to collect them.

Those were the most-awaited moments for the village children.

The doctors didn't offer much money, and most village folks were concerned with their crops. So, the only people who could spare to go collecting were families with more hands, and the bunch of village children.

Whenever the itinerant doctors arrived, the children would don their old clothes and go herb collecting in the mountains.

Most of what they collected was plantain, mallow grass and orchid roots.

After gathering the herbs, the doctors would weigh them out and pay. Generally, a child of about six or seven could earn forty to fifty wen coins in spare change over half a month.
