Grassroots Immortality

Chapter 4: Collecting Herbs

Seeing the Tongjing grass on the cliff, Du Shuangyue was delighted.

She looked down at her bloated body and frowned again.

Because before going out, she "dressed up" for safety reasons.

Her originally slender figure became bloated, and too many things were wrapped around her body, making her movements extremely inconvenient.

After carefully checking the location of the Tongjing grass, the terrain was very dangerous. If she was in her current state, she would not be able to pick the Tongjing grass at all.

After finally finding a Tongjing grass, Du Shuangyue certainly would not give up.

After thinking for a while, Du Shuangyue began to gradually untie the strips of cloth wrapped around her body.

At this moment, untying these strips of cloth can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it make her body more flexible, but it can also be used as a rope, which is also very helpful for picking Tongjing grass.

After untying the strips of cloth, Du Shuangyue looked carefully and found that the length of the strips was nearly ten feet!

After twisting the cloth strips into a rope, Du Shuangyue began to look around.

A big tree above the meridian grass immediately attracted Du Shuangyue's attention.

Seeing the big tree, Du Shuangyue's face also showed joy.

Coming to the big tree, Du Shuangyue carefully checked the environment again, looking back and forth between the meridian grass and the big tree.

After about a cup of tea, Du Shuangyue firmly fixed one end of the cloth rope on the trunk of the big tree.

Then he threw the remaining cloth rope towards the cliff, and the cloth rope fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

Du Shuangyue held the cloth rope with both hands and pulled it hard a few times. After seeing that there was no problem, he was ready to start picking the meridian grass.

After taking off the cloth strips wrapped around his body, Du Shuangyue felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, his movements became much more flexible, and he felt that his body was easier to control.

Holding the cloth rope tightly with both hands, Du Shuangyue began to embark on the arduous road of picking the meridian grass.

There is almost no road on the cliff. If there is no cloth rope to help, it is almost impossible to collect Tongjing grass.

On the uneven and dangerous peak, with the help of the cloth rope, it is also a safety guarantee.

Du Shuangyue looked at the abyss below, and her heart was beating violently.

Just a glance, Du Shuangyue once again focused all her attention on Tongjing grass.

At this moment, she only had Tongjing grass in her eyes!

The whole collection process took a long time. Du Shuangyue was very cautious. She knew that if something happened to her, how could Xiaolan take care of two patients alone.

The collection process seemed thrilling, but it was orderly. In the end, Du Shuangyue finally got the Tongjing grass as she wished.

Du Shuangyue looked at the Tongjing grass in her hand with a happy face, and then carefully put it into the cloth bag around her waist.

Then she began to prepare to take off the cloth rope tied to the tree and wrap it around her waist again.

However, just as she untied the cloth rope, two figures also walked towards her position.

Seeing two figures walking towards her, Du Shuangyue suddenly became nervous.

She quickly put the rope into the bamboo basket, then carried the bamboo basket and prepared to leave.

Seeing Du Shuangyue was about to leave, one of the men shouted: "Stop! Who told you to leave?"

Hearing the man's voice, Du Shuangyue trembled and stayed where she was, not daring to move without permission.

The two men also quickly came to Du Shuangyue, walked around Du Shuangyue twice, and looked at her carefully.

"Brother, this woman has a good figure, but she looks too ugly. Even if she is tied up, I guess she can't be sold at a high price."

After about ten breaths, a thin man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks spoke.

"Who said it wasn't? The good-looking ones would have been kidnapped by the immortal cultivators long ago. How could it be your turn or mine? But this woman is really too ugly. With her figure, even if she looks a little ordinary, she can still be sold at a good price."

"It's so damn unlucky. I've been wandering around the mountains for many days and finally met a woman from the Feather Clan. Anyone who sees this woman will probably have nightmares. How can there be such an ugly person in the world! Get out of here quickly, don't affect my mood. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night if I see her for too long!"

Hearing the words of the other slightly fatter elder brother, Du Shuangyue was relieved and left quickly.

Looking at Du Shuangyue's hurried departure, the thin man always felt something was wrong.

After that, the thin man felt something was wrong, so he said, "Brother, I think there is something wrong with the woman of the Feather Tribe. Do you think we should follow her to find out?"

Hearing the thin man's words, the slightly fat man seemed to be awakened by a word. Without saying much, he chased in the direction where Du Shuangyue left.

At this time, Du Shuangyue had already discarded all her things, leaving only the Tongjing grass. She increased her speed to the limit and dared not look back. She could only return to the village at the fastest speed to ensure her safety.

The two men followed all the way, but did not see Du Shuangyue's figure. Suddenly, on the edge of a cliff, the thin man seemed to have discovered something and shouted loudly, "Brother, look!"

Following the direction of the thin man's finger, the slightly fat man saw the cloth rope that Du Shuangyue had used just now.

Other things fell off the cliff, but this cloth rope fell on a small tree not far below the cliff.

Du Shuangyue was in a hurry, and of course she didn't go to see what was under the cliff.

Seeing the cloth strip on the small tree, the slightly fat man was immediately angry.

"There must be something wrong with that woman from the Feather Clan, second brother, let's chase her!"

Suddenly, the two of them increased their speed to the extreme.

There are not many ways down the mountain, and there is only one way down the mountain nearby. As long as they chase along the way down the mountain, they are likely to catch up.

Although the people of the Feather Clan have lost the ability to fly, they are taller and longer-legged than ordinary humans.

Du Shuangyue ran away quickly, and her speed was not slower than the two mortal men behind her.

Along the way, Du Shuangyue's heart was beating wildly, and a sense of crisis filled her body.

When people are in desperate situations, they can burst out some potential, and Du Shuangyue is no exception.

In the end, it was a close call, and she finally returned to Luoying Village safely.

Back to Luoying Village, a month has passed since she left.

When she saw the human lying on the bed again, she found that the wounds on his body had recovered a lot.

Du Shuangyue quickly gave the Tongjing grass to Xiaolan, asking her to give it to Doctor Zhuo and take back the herbs prepared by Doctor Zhuo.
