These are just ordinary herbs, which does not worth much. Her purpose today is to find some valuable ones. If not, it doesn't matter. She just wants to be familiar with the herbs on the mountain.

Lin Xiaoye felt very excited and happy about these herbs. It's different from modern times, these are all natural and pollution-free plant herbs. Its medicine efficacy was enough for her to ponder for a while.

She decided to take back a little of different kinds.

"La la la la..."

Lin Xiaoye picked all the herbs and sang a song. In a short time, her basket became full.

She got up and looked around, preparing to go back. At this moment, she suddenly found that it was the same all around and she couldn't see anyone.

"Oh no, I think I'm lost."

She hurried forward but couldn't find her way out. After a long time, Lin Xiaoye becomes tired, hungry and anxious

She waved her hand and began to shout: "Huo Li! Where are you Huo Li? Can you hear me? Huo Li...... "

Her cry made all the birds flew away..

With the birds flying away, Lin Xiaoye got even more flustered.

"It couldn't be? She really did end up lost.. Huo Li...... "

Lin Xiaoye looked around anxiously, just when she thought she was going to be trapped here, a sudden light flashed in front of her eyes. Lin Xiaoye's heart stopped, she stood there dumbly for a moment, her legs trembling.

Was that arrow just now? Was someone aiming for her life? Was it the original owner's enemy?

The startled Lin Xiaoye widened her eyes and quickly looked around.

    Huh? Huo Li?..

She saw Huo Li rushed over in front of her, like a strong wind rushing to her face.

"Huo Li you're here!" Lin Xiaoye grabbed his arm and smiled.

Huo Li frowned and looked down at her hand.

Lin Xiaoye then quickly released him

" I dont remember the way back. Fortunately, you came, but the arrow just now..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoye's subconsciously looked around and was shocked.

"My Mother! what is this?"

A dark brown insect about the size of a palm was stabbed firmly on the tree by Huo Li's arrow.

Lin Xiaoye was shocked

Eh? Is this

"What are you doing?"

Lin Xiaoye was planning to step forward to take a closer look, but was pulled back by Huo Li.

"Huo Li, look, is that a scorpion?"

Huo Li stared at her with a frown, then responded coldly: "Hm."

If it wasn't for the scorpion, he wouldn't have shoot right away.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoye was even more surprised.

"Scorpion, what a big scorpion! Quick! Wrap it up!. We're going to get rich!"

Lin Xiaoye said and hurriedly looked around to find something to pack up the scorpion.

Huo Li was confused.

"It's a poisonous insect. What's there to make fortune?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled excitedly: "It's exactly because it's poisonous that it's worth the money. You believe me, wrap it up quickly."

This is the biggest poisonous scorpion she has ever seen. It can't be found in the modern times anymore. Its medicinal value is extremely high. If they sell it, it'll probably fetch for atleast two silvers?

Huo Li do not understand herbs and medicine, but seeing Lin Xiaoye so excited, he said nothing.
He ripped a piece of cloth off his body and wrapped the scorpion on it then handed it to Lin Xiaoye.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned.

"I'll make you a new one after I make money."

With that, Lin Xiaoye happily hold the scorpion and went down the mountain.

Huo Li looked at Lin Xiaoye and squinted his eyes

Something's wrong!

Huo Li was going to sell the game in the town and Lin Xiaoye followed him.

Huo Li was going to sell game in town and Lin Xiaoye followed

Lin Xiaoye thought it wouldn't take long. she didn't expect it to be this way, it took them a long time, she almost broke her legs.

"No, no, let me rest for a while, I really can't walk."

After arriving in town, Lin Xiaoye hurried to find a stool and sat down.
She had been walking and stopping for a while, and Huo Li was used to it.

She looked at the people rushing in the market.

"You can go now, I'll sell these."

Lin Xiaoye waved and promised.

She looked around, can ordinary people walk this far?

While thinking, she saw several bullock carts parked at the entrance of the town, many people got off.

Lin Xiaoye was shocked.

So there's a car!

She quickly look for an ox cart going to Shili village.

"Sir, how much do you charge for a ride?"

In front of him was a hunchbacked man, with his back to Lin Xiaoye. He didn't reply for a long time.

"Girl, this old man charge a copper plate, are you going back now?" The old man turned to her and smiled.

Somehow, when she saw this uncle smile, Lin Xiaoye suddenly felt sad, she remember her kind grandfather in the modern times..

Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Right! Uncle, I will go to town to buy something first and then come back to take your cart later."

"Alright!" Uncle answered.

Lin Xiaoye turned and went to town.

There bullock cart only cost a copper plate. After she sell the scorpion, that wouldn't be a problem.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiaoye turned and walked to the place where she had just rested and suddenly smelled something fragrance..

That smells so good!

Her nose moved, thinking how its taste.

Steamed buns!

She found out that the place where she had just sat was a steamed bun shop.

"Hot buns fresh from the oven, do you want one?"

The little brother reached out and handed a bun.

Lin Xiaoye swallowed

"Brother, how much do you sell these?"

"Three coppers for the meat buns and two copper plates with the other."

"Ok, then please give me two meat buns."

After that, Lin Xiaoye touched herself to look for money.

Oops, no money!

She quickly shouted: "Wait a moment, I'll take it later, you keep it for me"

After that, Lin Xiaoye turned around and ran away.

She didn't really know if it was because the steamed buns were so fragrant or she was just hungry.

 Thinking of the fragrant smell of the meat buns along her way, she couldn't help but salivate

 No, no, She have to make money quickly.
