Chapter 382 - Why Murder Someone? (1)
In the Hopeless Forest, Gong Yimo yawned and listened to the experienced herb collector talking about the common medical knowledge nonstop and she couldn't help but be tired.
"Young master, if I bring you to find the Shuiyun Grass, will you really give me 100 silvers?"
The herb collector was worried and confirmed once again.
Gong Yimo took out a banknote from her sleeves and waved it in front of his face, saying, "Do you see this? It's actually 100 silvers! Now, speed it up!"
"Right, right! Follow me and I'll make sure you find it! I'll make sure! I know where it is!"
While covering his mouth and laughing, he was thinking happily: hehe, you're really my savior. Once I get my hands on the money, my daughter will have her dowry. She keeps on saying that I don't buy beautiful clothes and hair accessories for her. Hehe. Now, I'll buy a huge basket of it! I'll make sure she gets to change it every day!
While Gong Yimo was listening to this, she didn't comment. Although Da Yu was open with its customs, women didn't have high statuses still. According to the old man, he seemed to care deeply for the women in the family which was kind of rare.
Like this, they idly chatted along the way. They walked for the entire day and around the evening, they arrived at the spot where the herb collector found the Shuiyun Grass…Right now, they were lying on a mound and quietly staring at the huge tiger. Now that they took close looks, it seemed quite fierce.
The herb collector's face paled. He knew that there was a tiger here, but this was the first time he was that close to it. He hurriedly wiped the ointment he had prepared and didn't forget to wipe some for Gong Yimo too.
"I don't need it. I just need to ask you. Are you sure it's over here?"
"Yes, yes. That's where I saw it last time. Not only was there Shuiyun Grass, but there was also Huoyun Grass! However, that is the tiger's territory and although I wanted to collect the grasses, I didn't dare to…"
Gong Yimo nodded and said, "Then wait here. I'll be right back!"
As she said this, she walked out.
"Hey! Wait a second!'
The old herb collector called her, but she had already run out!
Doomed. This person was doomed!
When the huge tiger saw someone running it, it first took a few cautious steps over. Seeing that the other party didn't even have a weapon, it angrily pounced over.
The herb collector hurriedly closed his eyes in fright!
Oh no. His 100 silvers were gone now! Plus, it was a pity for someone as young as her to die that early!
However, he only heard a whimper and a groan. He opened his eyes to see the tiger lying on the ground but it was still breathing. It should just probably be unconscious.
Gong Yimo smiled at him and said, "Why aren't you following?"
"Hey! Oh, oh! I'm coming, I'm coming!"
While running over, he stared at the tiger. He clearly ran to the other side, but it was unsure what he had thought of, but he came back again. He grabbed some tree branches and such, covering the tiger.
Gong Yimo stared at him and found it funny, saying, "What are you doing? Are you afraid of hunters picking it up and beating it to death?"
He wiped his sweet and smiled honestly, saying, "This tiger doesn't have a bad nature. As long as people don't step into its territory, it won't hurt anyone. It was thanks to the tiger's existence that the medicinal ingredients here have been growing well. Because not many dares to come near. I can use the herbs here to earn some more money."
Gong Yimo thought momentarily before saying slowly, "You can let go of a rabbit because it won't hurt you in the future. However, by letting go of a tiger, you are allowing it to kill you in the future. Do you think that's worth it?"
The herb collector chuckled and said, "I make a living from collecting herbs. I had been relying on it to live a good life. In the future, now, with the 100 silvers that the young master gives me, I won't need to pick any more herbs. Even more, I can start my own business. Therefore, the tiger wasn't in my way, but it had done me a favor instead."
