043 The Man Collecting Herbs
Mei Niang felt that her legs suddenly became unruly, and the road was covered with thick layers of dead leaves. The path down the mountain became extremely difficult. In many places, she had to squat down and move her legs down.
Just like that, by accident, Mei Niang slipped down a steep slope.
Fortunately, she was half squatting before and landed on her buttocks when she slid down. Apart from the pain on her buttocks caused by some broken rocks, she didn't suffer much damage, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.
Mei Niang gasped for air, raised her eyes and looked around, trying to find a thicker branch to support her body.
Then, she saw two more feet diagonally behind her left side.
The frightened Mei Niang screamed "Oh my God", and then she realized that there was someone standing behind her. From the clean blue cloth upper, she could see that it was a man.
The shoes worn by men in the countryside are all dirty, and most of them are mainly stain-resistant black. Even if they have new shoes, they are not usually worn out. Clean and brand-new blue cloth shoes like this are of good quality.
The material is something that men in the village would never wear during this busy farming period.
Mei Niang raised her head and looked into a pair of black eyes as deep as a starry night.
He was a handsome strange man, not very beautiful but handsome enough that people noticed him at first sight among the crowd.
The man has a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes. The tail part of the eyes is slightly raised, giving a quite charming shape. When the eyes are narrowed, they will appear slender.
The man's eyes were a little cold, looking at Mei Niang as if he was sizing up a product. His evaluative gaze made Mei Niang very uncomfortable.
The man's skin is slightly dark, a healthy color brought out by the sun, which shows that he is not a frail scholar.
The slightly pursed thin lips were raised to one side, forming a cold and arrogant arc. Coupled with his upright posture and a temperament that looked cold even in the sun, it actually gave Mei Niang a chilling feeling.
The man was wearing a sky-blue suit, with a large blue belt tied around his waist, and the hem of the clothes was swaying right in front of Mei Niang's eyes.
The quality of the clothing is very good, the price should not be low, and it is not a style that ordinary farmers can wear.
His calf was tied up with thin straps, and there was a sheathed short knife. The scabbard and the handle were decorated with shining gems.
The condescending posture lengthened his height. If he had held a spear instead of a shovel, this man would have looked more like the God of War who had just stepped off the battlefield.
He carried a basket on his back, which was full of medicinal herbs that are only produced on Duobao Mountain: spring red.
Kasugaru is an herb that only blooms in spring and is a very precious medicine.
It's just that spring red only grows on the cliffs of Duobao Mountain. Whenever spring comes and flowers bloom, the entire cliff is covered with red spring reds blooming in fragrant and fragrant colors.
It's just that it's very difficult to pick. After someone once fell off a cliff and died while picking herbs, no one has thought about it again.
After all, although the price of spring red is rare, it is not so expensive that people would risk their lives.
In this way, if someone wants spring red, other than risking their lives to collect it, they can only spend a lot of money to buy it.
Whether it's from his clothes or the short sword, the man doesn't seem like a money-hungry boss to Mei Niang.
So, he collected the medicine for his own use?
