CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70 A FAMILIAR FIGURE

Currently, the space has accumulated about ten pounds of dried herbal medicine.

These were dug during her spare time over the past half month.

A small portion was also dug by the Great Princess and the Second Princess.

The herbs mainly include Huanglian, Bianxia, and Gastrodia.

In modern times, these belong to expensive medicinal herbs, which she specifically chose to dig.

It’s just that she doesn’t know what the prices of these herbs are in this lifetime.

To avoid the Great Princess and the others from asking persistently, before setting out, she took the herbs out from the space and packed them into a basket.

The other basket with little rabbits was carried by the third brother, Li Xing’an.

With no time to make breakfast, everyone ate some meat stewed last night, drank some water, and set out.

On the morning of the first day, there was no moonlight, and the forest was eerie.

The mountain wind blew, making people shiver involuntarily.

The Second Young Master held a torch leading the way, and the third brother Li Xing’an walked last.

In the middle were the three sisters Li Yuzhu.

Even with two brothers at the front and back, the Great Princess and the Second Princess still exclaimed from time to time.

Li Yuzhu was speechless, "Why don’t you go back then?"

"Not going back! Why should we go back?" The Great Princess refused.

"Then walk faster, eldest sister, at this pace, when will we reach the marketplace?" Li Yuzhu urged her.

"You walk ahead." The Great Princess ran behind Li Yuzhu, standing in front of the Second Princess, walking in small steps.

Li Yuzhu glanced around, pushing the Second Young Master in front, "Second brother, let’s walk faster."

"Alright." The Second Young Master raised his eyebrows slightly.

The siblings started jogging.

Scared, the Great Princess and Second Princess in the middle followed, continually running.

After a while, a glimmer of light appeared in the forest ahead, slowly moving toward them.

"What... what’s that?" The Great Princess grabbed Li Yuzhu’s arm, trembling, "Could it be... is it..."

"It’s the neighbor!" Li Yuzhu was speechless, "That path leads to the neighbor’s house on South Mountain Slope."

Sure enough, as the torch approached closer, a familiar figure was illuminated.

It was Mu Yuanxiu.

He was carrying a basket, walking briskly towards Li Yuzhu and her siblings.

The Second Young Master nodded at him, "Brother Mu, where are you heading?"

"Going to the market." Mu Yuanxiu replied.

"Are you buying or selling something?" The Second Young Master asked casually.

"Selling herbs."

The Great Princess glanced into his basket, raising her eyebrows slightly, "How much money can this make?"

"Estimated to be one or two thousand coins." Mu Yuanxiu said.

"Is it worth that much money?" The Great Princess didn’t believe it.

"Of course it is, eldest sister." Li Yuzhu replied affirmatively.

"I don’t believe it." The Great Princess snorted softly.

Mu Yuanxiu glanced at them, holding the torch, walked to the front, "I’m familiar with the route, follow me."

The Second Young Master originally wanted to refuse, but worried about taking the wrong path, he didn’t oppose, "Alright, we have more people, you are alone, it’s good to have someone looking out on the road."

Yesterday at dusk, when Liu the bricklayer left, he drew a map of the route on the ground, and the Second Young Master always doubted he hadn’t memorized it well.

If he led them the wrong way, the third sister might beat him to a pulp.

Now with someone else leading the way, if they went the wrong way, it wouldn’t be his fault.

Of course, if led the wrong way, this guy would be pummeled!

Mu Yuanxiu listened to the Second Young Master, just slightly curled his lips, and continued walking silently.

With more people, walking and talking along the way, it wasn’t lonely.
