Su Xiao had heard before that the animals living in the mountains were very spiritual. When they were injured, they knew how to find herbs to eat, and they would rub the wounds on the herbs to stop bleeding.
I just didn’t expect that I would actually see it in reality!
The nasty little medicine thief had disappeared long ago. Su Xiao cursed a few times, but had no choice but to dig out the herbs one by one.
The secret experimental field that was thought to be safe was no longer reliable. Su Xiao had to take away all the remaining herbs and find another place for them.
After much thought, there was only one place that could be said to be absolutely safe. Su Xiao gritted her teeth and immediately made up her mind!
Carrying a large bag of herbs, she trudged back. Seeing the two little ones still playing tirelessly, she put down her things and sat down, resting for a while.
After the three mothers ate and drank enough, and took a beautiful nap on the soft grass, Su Xiao took the two children down the mountain and sent them to her aunt's house.
Then, panting, she walked to the cabin carrying a bulging cloth bag.
A fence was built around the cabin with bamboo shadows, and a pushable wooden door was installed for easy entry and exit. Su Xiao didn't call anyone, just pushed the door open and walked in directly.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard an exclamation, "Be careful!"
Su Xiao was so tired and dizzy that she couldn't react for a moment. In a dazed moment, she saw a gleaming sword flying towards her with unrivaled force!
She was so frightened that she was about to fall to the ground and roll to avoid it when a tall figure flew over, strong arms wrapped around her waist and moved to the side!
Su Xiao raised her head and saw Song Zeyi's chiseled chin. He pursed his lips, hugged her tightly with one hand, took the sword with the other, and then dropped his lower body to the ground very steadily.
"Miss Su, please don't come in uninvited next time, okay?" Song Zeyi flipped his wrist, returned the sword to its sheath neatly, and glanced at her lightly.
Maybe it was because the two of them were too close just now. Su Xiao's heart was beating fast and her face couldn't help but blush.
Oh my god, at that moment just now, this man was so handsome and manly!
Seeing that she didn't answer, Song Zeyi just stood there blankly. He thought she was scared and frowned slightly.
"But where is it hurt?" As he said that, he took a step forward and reached out to help Lidya Su.
"No, no, no!" Su Xiao finally reacted and quickly jumped back, avoiding Song Zeyi's arm.
Phew, wake up, wake up, this is your sponsor, he is the villain, he is not a man you can flirt with casually on the roadside!
Su Xiao shook her head violently, suffocating the lingering thought just now.
"Haha, I'm fine. Let's go in and talk." She raised her head and laughed dryly.
Song Zeyi inexplicably felt that this little village girl was a little weird today, raised his eyebrows, took the lead and walked towards the courtyard with his sword in hand.
"Is your injury completely healed? Your skills just now... were quite neat." Remembering that the two had a quarrel last time they met, in order to ease the embarrassment, she asked casually.
"Well, thanks to Miss Tuosu, things are getting better." Song Zeyi replied expressionlessly, still as cool as ever, as if the previous quarrel had never happened.
Seeing that he was willing to reply, Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked a few more questions about the wound. Bamboo Shadow also came over to greet him.
"Miss Su, today is..." Seeing the heavy bag on Su Xiao's shoulder, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhuying's eyes.
In the past, Miss Su would bring them some delicious food every time she came here, but this time... it's a bit too big, right?
"Oh, I dug some more herbs, I'm afraid they will be destroyed by wild beasts in the mountains, so, hehe..." Su Xiao said with a embarrassed smile.
With that said, she opened the bag and generously showed the herbs to the two of them.
Zhuying looked around and his eyes widened in surprise. The gastrodia elata, astragalus, and polygonatum inside were treasures that had been produced for decades!
Although he was surprised by the ginseng last time, there were only two ginseng plants after all. This time, it was a real big sack!
Could it be that the medicinal materials that have been used for decades and hundreds of years have become big radishes, and you can just dig them up?!
Bamboo Shadow moved his gaze to Su Xiao's face, looking at her like he was looking at a rare animal with three heads and six legs.
This little village girl is too powerful. If everyone were like her, those old farmers who have been digging herbs for decades would not have to live anymore!
"Hey, don't look at me with such admiration. I dug this over several mountains. It was very hard work!"
Su Xiao mistook Zhuying's shattered gaze as admiration, covered her mouth and smiled very humbly.
Although Song Zeyi on the side was also a little surprised, he didn't show it at all on his face, but his suspicion of Lidya Su was even deeper.
Once or twice, it could be said that he was lucky, but he had a hunch that the herbs in front of him were definitely not encountered by chance, and there might be more to follow!
"...So, I still have to trouble you with these herbs. When the money is sold, I will give you 20%, no, how about 30%?" Su Xiao said generously.
After all, these things cost almost nothing. Even if she only takes 10%, she has already made a lot of money. It is better for everyone to make money together!
"Forget the money, I want 20% of the herbs." After pondering for a moment, Song Zeyi slowly said.
"No problem! I'll give you 30%!" Su Xiao immediately agreed without hesitation.
"Listen carefully, I mean, this time, and every batch in the future, I want 20%." Song Zeyi stared at Su Xiao closely, not missing the slightest change in expression on her face.
Su Xiao was startled and raised her head to meet Song Zeyi's eyes. Under the sharp gaze, she had an illusion that her secret had been seen through by the other party!
Her eyes moved involuntarily, avoiding Song Zeyi's scrutinizing eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, she probably never revealed her secret to him.
Even if these herbs come from a strange source, and the villain has no leverage of his own, as long as she is lucky enough to bite her to death, what can he do to himself?!
"...Ahaha, Mr. Song is joking. Who knows what will happen next. This kind of thing really depends on luck. Maybe I won't be able to dig out any medicinal herbs in the future..."
Su Xiao originally plucked up the courage to fool this matter, but who knew that looking at the other party's half-smiling expression, she felt more guilty the more she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
Damn, he is worthy of being a villain, his vision is too vicious, she, she is about to be unable to resist it!
Even though her head immediately dropped to her chest, she could still feel Song Zeyi's penetrating gaze staring at her without relaxing.
Under the tremendous pressure, she felt cold sweat gradually breaking out on her back, and her body seemed to be petrified, getting stiffer and stiffer!
"...Okay, okay, I promise you!" When she finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, she felt her body relax and her whole body seemed to be alive again!
