Chapter 5 - Killing intent?
These were all normal herbs and were of no value to her. Her goal today was to find some valuable things, but it didn't matter if she couldn't find them. She just came to familiarize herself with the herbs on the mountain.
Towards these herbs, Lin Lil 'Ye was very excited and happy. This place was different from how it was in the modern world, it was a pure, natural, pollution-free herb, and its medicinal properties and effects were enough for her to ponder over for a while.
It was decided that the different species would only be picked back a little bit.
"Lalalalala …"
Lin Lil 'Ye was so excited from picking the herbs that she began to hum a tune as she picked. Not long later, her basket was filled to the brim with herbs.
He stood up and looked around, intending to head back. However, when he looked around, he realized that everything was the same. There was no one around him.
"Crap, did he get lost?"
Ye Zichen quickly walked forward, but he didn't think that after walking for so long, he really couldn't find a way out. At this moment, Lin Lil 'Ye was tired and hungry, so she started to worry.
He raised his hand and started shouting, "Huo Li! Where are you? Can you hear me? "Huo Li …"
The moment she shouted, the surrounding birds flew in all directions, and the surroundings were filled with the sounds of birds flying.
As the bird flew away, Lin Ye started to panic even more.
"Really?" Could it be that she was going to end up lost? "Huo Li …"
Just when she thought that she was really going to be trapped here, a light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, causing her heart to stop beating immediately. She stood there in a daze, not daring to move, while her legs continuously trembled.
Was that an arrow? Could it be the original owner's previous enemy? They all had the intention to kill?
Thinking about that, Lin Lil 'Ye was immediately shocked. She widened her eyes and quickly looked around.
Eh? Huo Li?
Huo Li charged over in a few steps, and when he was right in front of her eyes, he pounced on her face with a strong gust of wind.
"Huo Li, you came?" Lin Lil 'Ye grabbed his arm and laughed.
Huo Li frowned and looked down at her hand.
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned, then quickly let go.
"About that, I was too busy gathering herbs to remember the way back. Fortunately, you came over, but that arrow …"
At this point, Lin Lil 'Ye subconsciously looked over, and was immediately shocked.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
He saw a black brown bug the size of a palm pierced by Huo Li's arrow in the tree. There were two pincers in front and its tail was quite long.
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned.
Eh? Could this be …
"What are you doing?"
Just as Lin Lil 'Ye wanted to go up and take a closer look, she was pulled back by Huo Li.
"Huo Li, take a look. Is that a scorpion?"
Huo Li furrowed his brows as he stared at her. Then, he answered coldly, "Yes."
If it wasn't for the scorpion, he wouldn't have shot an arrow just now.
Hearing that, Lin Ye was immediately shocked.
"Scorpion, what a big scorpion! Quickly, use something to pack it up! We're going to be rich!"
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye quickly looked around for something to store the scorpion.
Huo Li was confused.
"These are poisonous insects. What kind of money do they have?"
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled excitedly: "It's because it's poisonous that's valuable. Believe me, quickly put it away."
This was the largest scorpion she had ever seen. According to modern wild scorpions, they wouldn't be able to find it even if they wanted to. The medicinal value of this thing was extremely high. If she were to sell it, she would have to sell it for a few taels of silver, no?
Huo Li did not know much about the ingredients, but seeing how excited Lin Lil 'Ye was, he took off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped up the scorpion, then handed it over to Lin Lil' Ye.
Lin Lil 'Ye was stunned.
"Sure, I'll make you a new set of clothes when I earn money."
With that, she happily carried the scorpion down the mountain.
Huo Li looked at the current Lin Lil 'Ye, and his eyes instantly narrowed.
Something was not right!
It just so happened that Huo Li was going to sell some game from the phone in the town, so Lin Lil 'Ye followed him.
Previously, Lin Leyan had thought that even if they walked into the town, it wouldn't take too long, right? She didn't expect that after spending so much time walking, she would almost break both her legs.
"No, no. Let me rest for a while, I really can't walk anymore."
When they arrived at the town, Lin Lil 'Ye quickly found a stool to sit on.
She had been walking and resting for a long time, and Huo Li was already used to it.
In the blink of an eye, he looked at the people who were rushing to the market.
"Do as you please. I'll go and sell these."
Lin Lil 'Ye waved her hand, indicating that she agreed.
In the blink of an eye, he had already looked around. This wasn't a path that an ordinary person could walk on. Wasn't it too far?
As he thought about it, he saw several ox-carts parked at the entrance of the town. Some of them were even getting off the ox-carts.
Lin Lil 'Ye was momentarily stunned.
So there was a car!
He hurried forward and found the ox-cart.
"Great sir, how much did it cost for your oxcart to come all the way here?"
The person in front of him was a hunchbacked old man. He had his back to Lin Lil 'Ye and did not say anything for a long time.
Could it be that this grandpa couldn't speak? Bad temper?
Just as he was thinking, he saw that geezer slowly turn around, and he smiled towards Lin Lil 'Ye.
"Little girl, this old man's oxcart is only worth a copper coin. Are you going back now?"
For some reason, when she saw this grandpa's smile, she suddenly felt her heart ache. In her mind, she thought of her grandpa from the modern days, and she felt very close to him.
Lin Lil 'Ye smiled, "Uncle, I understand. I'll go to the town first to buy some stuff, then I'll come back later to ride on your oxcart."
"Alright!" The old man replied.
Lin Lil 'Ye turned around and headed back into the town.
The ox-cart was only a copper coin. By the time she sold the scorpion, wouldn't she still have two copper coins to ride on the oxcart?
As she thought about it, Lin Lil 'Ye arrived at the place where she had rested in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted into her nose.
What was so fragrant!
Zhang Xuan's nose twitched as he looked toward the source of the smell.
Steamed Bun!
Only now did she realize that the place she was sitting on earlier was the bun house.
"Heated steamed buns that have just been cooked. Do you want one?"
The little brother handed over a bun.
Lin Lil 'Ye swallowed her saliva.
"Young big brother, how much are you selling these buns for?"
"Three coppers for meat buns and two coppers for meat buns. One coppers for the other."
"Alright, then give me two meat buns."
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye touched herself, and was immediately stunned.
Shit, no money!
He quickly called out, "Wait, I don't need it, but you keep it for me. I'll come over later to buy it. I must keep it."
With that, Lin Lil 'Ye quickly turned and ran.
She really did not know that the steamed buns were actually so fragrant. She did not know if it was the steamed buns from ancient times that were tasty, or if it was because she was too hungry. They were actually so fragrant.
Along the way, he thought about the taste of that Steamed Bun and began to salivate.
No, I have to make some money.
