Chapter 391: Chapter 253: Scared Off (Part 3)

”Let’s go to that mountain tomorrow, there are more Dragon Fragrance Grass over there.”

Today we’re going this way because Xiaomi lives here. If Dragon Fragrance Grass can be sold for money, of course we should go to a place with more of it.

Xiaomi looked at Wei Ziang.

Wei Ziang nodded, ”I’m fine with that, I don’t have to go to the academy for the next half a month.”

Xiaomi was surprised, ”Why so long?”

She thought Wei Ziang was staying home for just a day or two and would continue school after a short break, but half a month sound surprising.

Whose kid takes half a month off without reason? Can they keep up with their studies?

Wei Ziang smiled slightly, ”There’s something going on, don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to my uncle and aunt, I won’t fall behind in my schoolwork.”

”I see,” Xiaomi nodded suspiciously, indicating she understood.

Wei Ziang patted her head, ”Let’s go home, didn’t you say we were having snake soup tonight?”

As expected, Xiaomi’s attention was diverted, ”Oh right, Xiaocao, let’s go down the mountain quickly.”

On the way, they agreed on which mountain to go to tomorrow and the time to set off.

After running around all afternoon today, tomorrow would certainly be tiring. She planned to stay at home in the morning while Wei Ziang could read some books. After lunch, around the afternoon, they would first go to find Xiaocao.

Going up the mountain does require a local resident indeed.

Even Jiang Hu, who frequently went up the mountains near Fu’an Village to catch wild chickens and rabbits, couldn’t understand the area well.

But Xiaocao knew every mountain around Xiangmu Village like the back of her hand. Whether what’s on the mountain, where to find what, she could pinpoint it accurately.

Coming down the mountain, Xiaomi let Xiaocao take the roasted rabbit meat home. Even the leftovers were a big dish, and Xiaocao was very excited, continuously saying thank you.

Not only that, Xiaomi also brought Xiaocao’s Dragon Fragrance Grass, planning to let her brother take it to the medicine shop tomorrow.

Returning home, everyone else was back and eagerly asked about Wei Ziang’s situation.

Wei Ziang didn’t explain much, only said he was back to rest for a few days.

Since they couldn’t get more information, they turned their attention to the herbs the two brought back.

”Brother, this isn’t just any grass, it’s called Dragon Fragrance Grass. Xiao Ge said it’s also called oregano and is a kind of medicinal herb. Would you do us a favor and take this to the pharmacy tomorrow to see how much it can sell for?”

Xiaomi handed over the bundle from Xiaocao directly to Jiang Yu, while the rest in the basket was carried by Wei Ziang.

”Just selling these?” Jiang Yu sniffed it, noticing the fragrance.

”Yes, these are Xiaocao’s. She wants to sell them but doesn’t know their value. The villagers used to brew them as tea, saying it was especially refreshing. The ones we picked, we’ll dry and use as tea leaves.”

”I see, but place them in a cool spot first, and sprinkle some water on them, or else they’ll wilt by tomorrow.”

Xiaomi followed her brother home, glancing around, and suddenly her head got tapped, ”What are you doing?”

Xiaomi rubbed her head, ”Where are Brother Ze and Second Sister?”

When they came back earlier, she only saw her brother and Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei went back with Xiao Ge, but those two hadn’t been seen.

”They’re in the house. Xiaoxue bought some snacks and food, and Xiao Ze helped bring them in.”

Xiaomi’s eyes turned, and she approached her brother with a grin, ”Brother, don’t you think Brother Ze cares a lot about Second Sister?”

But her brother just gave her a sidelong glance, ”You’re still a kid, asking such things for what?”

Then he left her and went home.

Xiaomi was momentarily stunned, then pouted.

”What, he probably knows something but pretends to be mysterious!”

From her brother’s reaction, it didn’t seem like he was unaware.

However, Xiaomi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ze’s intentions were quite obvious, but Second Sister seemed to treat him the same as others, probably not having such thoughts.

Of course, Second Sister is younger than Liu Ze, barely turning ten this July, still just a kid who doesn’t understand much.

Her brother spends the most time with Liu Ze, and knows his character better than anyone.

If her brother saw it and didn’t stop it, it meant Liu Ze was trustworthy.

In this way, she didn’t need to worry too much; let things take their course.

With this in mind, Xiaomi felt relieved and bounced home.

As soon as she entered, she saw Second Sister coming out, ”Xiaomi, you’re back! Come quickly! I bought beef jerky, spicy flavored. Come try it.”

Jiang Xiaoxue probably experienced hard times as a child and liked sweet things.

But Xiaomi was different; she liked spicy food. Every year when the peppers ripen, it became her favorite time.

Especially the tiger skin peppers and century egg peppers in summer, absolutely Xiaomi’s favorites! Part of them!

Indeed, upon hearing this, Xiaomi cast aside her previous worries.

”Thank you, Second Sister!” She flew over and hugged her, ”I love you so much!”

Jiang Xiaoxue blushed and pulled her back in, ”Come on, I bought a lot.”
