Chapter 281: Explosive Luck
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This time, they did not feel as anxious as before. Instead, they walked much slower.
The journey to Eternal Peace Prefecture was obviously much more desolate.
Previously, the refugees had migrated on a large scale and eaten everything they could on the way.
Now that everything was slowly recovering, there were many teahouses on the way. Although the tea leaves cooked were all of inferior quality, they were still enough for everyone to take a break.
Gu Yundong walked just like that for two days. That day, she ordered a bowl of fried rice with plain water in the teahouse.
Unexpectedly, the taste of the fried rice was simply indescribable. Gu Yundong really could not eat it, but Madam Yang did not feel much. It seemed alright, but after eating more than half a bowl, she drank two pots of water.
Hence, not long after setting off in the afternoon, she could not hold it in anymore and stammered that she wanted to get out of the carriage.
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. She found a secluded spot and parked the carriage.
Then, she brought her inside and kept watch for her so that she could answer nature’s call.
However, Gu Yundong had only waited for a moment when she realized that there was something familiar on the tree trunk in the distance. She had good eyesight and roughly read it. After squinting and staring for a while, she suddenly took out her own manuscript from her space.
It was the medical book that Song Dejiang had copied previously. After flipping through a few pages, she indeed found a medicinal herb.
Although Gu Yundong could not remember the characteristics of herbs, she was a painter and was sensitive to pictures.
Coupled with the introduction in the medical book, the herb did grow in the cracks of the tree trunk. There were also purple flowers. It looked ripe.
Joy flashed across Gu Yundong’s face. Aiyo, her luck was so good. She could even meet a precious medicinal herb when they came to pee.
Madam Yang had already tidied up her complicated clothes and walked over. “Dongdong, let’s go.”
“Mother, let’s go over there to pick something.”
Madam Yang looked in the direction she was pointing and nodded.
Gu Yundong held her hand and walked carefully, avoiding the messy grass.
When they finally reached the tree, Gu Yundong’s face darkened.
On the other side of the tree, a man was climbing up. His hand was about to reach the herb.
Gu Yundong glared at him. “Wait a minute.”
The man was so frightened by her that he almost fell from the tree. He hurriedly hugged the tree trunk with both hands and looked down.
Only then did Gu Yundong realize that the other party was only a child less than ten years old.
At this moment, the child opened her black eyes and looked at her in confusion. “What, what’s wrong?”
Gu Yundong coughed lightly. “Well, do you know what this is?”
“Isn’t it a flower?” the boy said. “I think it looks good, so I’ll take it back for my sister to play with.”
Play with? It’s an herb.
Gu Yundong’s head hurt. This was first come, first served. She was not someone who could easily bully by a child. But…
“Sister, do you like this flower too? I’ll give it to you. I’ll help you pick it.” He had an innocent smile on his face and was very enthusiastic.
Gu Yundong’s conscience hurt a little. Just now, she was still thinking of tricking this child into giving her the flower.
The child quickly plucked the flower and handed it to her in a hurry. Then, he said shyly, “Sister, you’re very beautiful. The flower is also beautiful.” Then, he was about to leave.
Gu Yundong clutched her chest. “Wait, these are herbs. I’ll pay for them.”
She was the kind of person who could not withstand sugar-coated bullets.
The child was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up. “Herbs? Then, then I have another one. Sister, do you still want it?”
Another one? Wasn’t this medicinal herb very precious? Why was it so common?
“Yes, where is it?”
“It’s over there. My basket is there. I’ll take you there.”
He was very happy and hurriedly led the way.
Gu Yundong followed, but not long after, she suddenly stopped.
A moment later, she turned her head stiffly and looked at a grave not far away..
