C241 (1/2)

Early in the morning, under the urging of the crowing of the chickens, the sun lazily stretched out its arms and smiled as it shot out the first ray of light. The busy villagers also began their day's work.

When Huo Yuhuang and Hua Yunshu woke up, they saw the villagers cleaning up the second destroyed village. They were trying their best to repair their own village.

When Hua Yunshu saw that a few villagers were carrying bamboo baskets, and did not know what they were going to do, Hua Yunshu walked to the side of the villagers with a face full of questions.

Seeing Hua Yunshu walk over, Huo Yuhuang also followed him to the villagers' side.

”Uncle, what are you guys going to do with the bamboo basket?” Hua Yunshu asked an uncle who was dressed in ordinary clothes.

”We're going deep in the mountains to gather herbs.”

”To the depths of the mountains? Isn't that dangerous? ”

”I don't know. No matter if it's dangerous or not, we still have to go.”

Hearing the uncle's words, Hua Yunshu did not say anymore, and only smiled at him. Seeing that the uncle was continuing to pack up his things, he immediately pulled Huo Yuhuang to the side.

”Should we go and help?” Hua Yunshu whispered to Huo Yuhuang.

”Help? Why should we help? ” Hearing Hua Yunshu's words, Huo Yuhuang did not understand for a moment why he said that.

”Anyway, we have nothing to do now. Yesterday, it was because we were chasing after the village that this village was persecuted again. I was afraid that there might be an accident.”

”Alright, then we'll help out together.”

Hearing Hua Yunshu's words, Huo Yuhuang felt that he should help these villagers. Hearing that Huo Yuhuang had agreed, Hua Yunshu's face revealed a smile.

The two of them came to the side of the uncle just now. Hua Yunshu asked, ”Uncle, we also want to help. Can we go together with you?”

”Sure.” Hearing that there was someone helping out, the old man immediately agreed. After Hua Yunshu and Huo Yuhuang heard that the old man agreed, they squatted beside the old man and helped to prepare some things.

Finally, everything was ready. Hua Yunshu and Huo Yuhuang carried their bamboo baskets and followed the uncle into the deep mountains.

When they arrived at the mountainside, they saw that there was only one path left for one person. From here, they could see that it was very dangerous, and if they weren't careful, they might fall down the mountainside.

Everyone carefully walked down the path, and upon reaching the end of the path, they saw a scene like this.

The river parted the green trees on either side and poured down from the rocks, uneven, now and then falling off the rocks like a white curtain. The river flowed quietly, the clear water shining in the sunlight.

Raising their feet and crossing the mirror-like river, everyone continued forward.

Finally finding a place with a large amount of herbs, everyone stopped and started to gather the herbs, Hua Yunshu and Huo Yuhuang followed along.

Everyone was carefully identifying the herbs, afraid that they would bring the poisonous ones back. The place was very quiet. Other than the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

”Ah!” Finally, the silence was broken by a series of screams. Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the noise.

He saw a slightly thin 16-17 year old boy in linen robes. His arms were wrapped around his right leg and his face was twisted, as if he was in extreme pain.
