Chapter 17 (2/2)

He was someone who had the alchemy skills of Laojub.

Even if this kid’s talent wasn’t good, he could completely rely on medicinal pills to build a foundation in ten years.

Although building a foundation was difficult for other people, it wasn’t for him.

Heh, it was nothing.

At this time, a group of strong men, a total of five people, walked towards them fiercely.

Along the way, they caught one stray child after another and examined them carefully. Then, they kicked them away as if they were looking for someone.

When he saw them, the little boy’s body clearly trembled and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

“Hey, over there!”

A strong man suddenly saw this scene and immediately roared angrily as he rushed over with a few people.

When Jiang Xiaobai saw this, he reached out and grabbed the little boy’s arm, pulling him to hide behind him.

“Little thing, you even dare to take my, Black Bear’s, treasure? Take it out now, or I’ll beat you to death!” The brawny man stepped forward and wanted to take the little boy away.

Jiang Xiaobai took a step forward and blocked the man.

“Ah, who are you? How dare you stop me? Are you courting death?” the brawny man roared. His eyes were as wide as a bull’s eyes, as if he would kill Jiang Xiaobai in the next second.

“Did you steal something?”

Jiang Xiaobai ignored the brawny man and turned to look at the little boy.

“I didn’t!”

The little boy gritted his teeth. His eyes were red, and his hands were behind his back. “I just picked this up in the mountain!”

Jiang Xiaobai roughly understood the situation.

The little guy picked something up in the mountain, and then these guys saw it and wanted to take it for themselves.

“Kid, I advise you to mind your own business. I haven’t killed anyone in three days. If you really don’t know what’s good for you, I don’t mind killing you here!” Black Bear shouted arrogantly. Four strong men stood behind him, and their imposing manner scared the surrounding crowd into retreating.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, how did you offend Black Bear?”

“It’s over. Kid, hurry up and leave. You’d better not get involved in this matter. It won’t end well.”

“This young man looks thin and weak. He’s dead for sure this time.”

The people around kept discussing. Black Bear had a wild and arrogant smile on his face. It seemed like he was proud of this.

“Did you hear that? If you dare to provoke me, Black Bear, in this place, you’ll have a terrible ending.”

“Hurry up and bring the things over. Then, give some money to your grandfather, Black Bear. I can reluctantly accept you as a follower. If you follow behind me, you’ll get a lot of benefits.”

Jiang Xiaobai only glanced at him indifferently, but he still ignored him. Instead, he leaned over and looked at the little guy.

“Where is it? Let me see it.”

The little boy was obviously a little scared, but after looking at Jiang Xiaobai, he finally pursed his lips and took out the herb in his hand, suppressing the fear in his heart.

It was only a slightly valuable herb. It was not even a spirit herb, but it could be sold for one tael of silver.

“You know about herbs?”

“I… I secretly followed the old doctor and saw him picking this herb.”

“Heh, what a smart guy.”

Jiang Xiaobai was more and more satisfied, but Black Bear and the others behind him couldn’t take it anymore.

“I f*cking give you face and you don’t want it, right? Brothers, teach him how to behave!”

Immediately, a thick arm grabbed at Jiang Xiaobai’s hair, but as if he had eyes on his back, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly grabbed the man’s wrist and used a little strength.

“Ahhh!”

A shrill scream was heard, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

“Kid, this world is very cruel. If you want to follow me, you have to learn to face this cruelty,” Jiang Xiaobai stood up and said indifferently. At the same time, he looked at Black Bear and the other three..
