to the snow

The next day, You Jing woke up early in order to pick up the task before Piao Ling and the others, and then do it alone or in a team with others.

You Jing doesn't like it at all, and she doesn't want to be accompanied by an acquaintance who looks like a bodyguard when she is performing a mission. This will make her feel inexplicably being watched. In the past, it was the same for Huangfu Ji.

So every time I go to the osmanthus forest, You Jing is alone, with three pets.

But quiet luck is always against her.When You Jing excitedly accepted the task and was about to go to the black waters, she suddenly found that Chen Xueyan was leaning against a wall with her arms folded on her chest, watching her from a distance.

Still can't hide, she can't just rush to Chen Xueyan and say "I don't need you to accompany me", can she?This would be too rude.

There are many people who issue tasks on the island, and there are many more types of tasks than in Xinyue Village. In addition to the simplest tasks of killing wild animals and collecting items, there are also collection tasks in the black waters or the dreamy swamp.There are even... simple errands delivering letters and transporting various materials.

You Jing mixed in with the team of three male knights.Strange to say, there are quite a few candidates in Lingxian Island, but almost all of them are men.Maybe there are also female candidates, but in the past few days, she has not seen any of them except Chen Xueyan and others around her.

There are actually no tasks to take so early, at most, a simple task of going to the black waters to collect small red flowers.

Seeing the three male knights in the team search for a long time, the medicine basket was still empty, You Jing couldn't help laughing.

"Go! What are you laughing at?" A male knight with a face full of mud raised his head and shouted at her angrily, "There are no broken flowers here, not a single grass grows, dead crabs are everywhere , made me stink."

"Aren't there many little red flowers? Look, isn't this just a clump, don't you guys recognize it?" You Jing pointed to the trunk of a crooked-neck tree, where a clump of small dark red flowers was growing.

"Uh..." The male knight who yelled at her suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.He really didn't know what the little red flower looked like, and he couldn't even tell what color the little red flower was.

"Little girl, it seems that you are pretty good at these medicinal materials." Another male knight walked towards You Jing, with a malicious smile on his face, "Why don't you do me a favor."

"What do you want to do?" You Jing asked coldly holding the sword vigilantly.

"Don't get me wrong, brothers are not interested in a little girl." Seeing her actions, the male knight laughed.

You Jing only felt something flying in front of her, and when she reached out to grab it, it turned out to be a medicine basket.

"Just help us finish all the tasks, you're welcome." The male knight's laughter was very hoarse, and the piercing voice made You Jing feel disgusted immediately.

Soon the other two medicine baskets were also thrown at them, and the three male knights actually rested on the spot.

You Jing grabbed the four medicine baskets and shouted at them with angry eyes: "Hey! Don't bully people too much!"

She even stepped forward and kicked the male knight who threw her medicine basket first, but the guy shook his head in enjoyment, moved his position and pretended to be snoring, and the other two burst out laughing .

A bunch of rascals!You Jing cursed secretly in her heart, and looked around, feeling even more annoyed.Chen Xueyan is also true, just now she was looking at her from a distance, but now she is nowhere to be seen.

If she was here, You Jing would still want her to help, and teach these shameless guys a lesson!For Chen Xueyan, teaching these guys a lesson might just be a piece of cake.But now if you only rely on You Jing alone, you still don't know who has been taught a good lesson in the end.

You Jing had no choice but to admit that she was unlucky, and took four medicine baskets and started searching for the little red flower.

I don't know how long she has been busy, maybe the sun has risen so high that she has only filled half of the four medicine baskets.Panting, You Jing threw three of the medicine baskets to the ground, found a piece of dry mud, and sat down.

"Huh? What is this?" Seeing a metal-like object reflecting a faint silver light in the mud in front of her, You Jing was curious and reached out to grab it.

It's a strange... let's say decoration, a carrot with two silver bells and a red ribbon the color of a leg.

You Jing picked up the carrot with the bell, and found that although it was stuck in the mud, she couldn't see any mud in her hand, no matter if it was a silver bell or a carrot.

Who dropped this strange charm?

You Jing threw carrots into her medicine basket, picked some red flowers, and then returned to the resting place of the three male warriors.

……

"That's right, such a little red flower is considered to be in good condition." Back on Lingxian Island, the kind old man Izumoko who gave the mission to the three of them inspected the medicine basket and nodded with a smile, "This is for you guys." reward."

"Hey, why did the little girl Pianzi pick up a carrot!" When she saw You Jing pick up the carrot with a bell from the medicine basket, the male knight who had been having trouble with her came over again.

"It's probably to feed the rabbits. Little girls like to feed rabbits, so their skills are like rabbits—" another male knight carried a bag of silver taels as a reward, and said a few words of sarcasm, "So soft Throwing, it’s quite useful to run away!”

"Hahahaha..." The three of them took the rewards like this, joking around presumptuously, and walked towards the inn.

"A bunch of bastards! I was the one who found the little red flower, but in the end I still have to make fun of others like this!" You Jing cursed bitterly at their backs.

"Hehe, little girl, please be safe and don't be impatient," the old man Izumoko walked over and patted her gently, "You know, there are not a few people like them who are chosen by heaven, so don't take it to heart." .But those who are able will work harder, as these three people can't even distinguish the most basic medicinal materials, they will have their own hardships in the future."

"Thank you, Grandpa Izumo..." You Jing turned off the fire and smiled embarrassedly at Izumo.

"However, little girl, can you show me the carrot with the bell in your hand?" Elder Izumo pointed to the carrot in You Jing's hand, "I seem to have seen something similar somewhere before."

Quietly nodded and handed the carrot over. Elder Izumoko sized up the carrot carefully, and finally raised his head, his eyes were blurred, as if he was thinking about something.

"I remember now! This is an ornament for a girl of the Zhen clan. More than ten years ago, there were houses of the Zhen clan near Lingxian Island." After pondering for a while, the old man Izumo said slowly, "This carrot , I'm afraid it was discovered in the black waters?"

"Well, it's stuck in the mud, if it wasn't for a part of it that happened to be exposed, I wouldn't be able to find it at all." You Jing replied, "Grandpa Izumo, the 'people of the Zhen clan' you are talking about are—— ?”

"The people of the Zhen clan are also known as the 'children of nature'. When the minions of the demon clan began to spread to the waters and lakes of the Tianshu Realm, the people of the Zhen clan were the first creatures in nature to perceive all this." Looking at the Carrot, the old man Izumoko sighed softly, "They watched all the creatures around them being invaded by the demonic energy, losing their minds and souls, and began to become extremely violent, but they couldn't change it. The fate of gas assimilation."
