"That year, my parents had been badly hurt by bandits. They initially had a chance at survival but, unfortunately, we couldn't save them because we didn't manage to get to the doctor's in time."
The little maiden had begun to weep as her memories of that incident came flooding back. "If only I had understood medicine at that time, I could have saved my parents. It was also from that moment on that I vowed to teach myself medicine! I will never let any other family experience separation in death!"
This was her dream.
It was also a goal that she has been working towards all this time.
Gu Ruoyun smiled as she said, "I'll be leaving this place in two days. Once I'm finished with my tasks, I can teach you medicine. What do you think?"
"Nian Ye, you know medicine?" asked the little maiden as she inclined her head. Her two braids made her look very cute as she blinked her sparkling eyes with curiosity.
"I know a little about medicine. Before anything else, I'd like to ask you where you got these red flowers from?"
Gu Ruoyun picked out a small, red flower from the pile of medicinal herbs. A glint then flashed through her eyes.
She had noticed the little flower immediately when she had entered the storage room!
She never thought that she would find the second medicine herb that she needed in a place like Wind Fall Village.
This was the Blood Moon Blossom. Most of these flowers exist in areas with blistering heat. Besides, it was an accompanying herb to the Dragon Phoenix Fruit! This Dragon Phoenix Fruit was a medicinal herb which happens to be an ingredient in the Fleshbone Regeneration Pill!
"Oh, you mean this little flower?" The little maiden looked very curious. She thought for a bit before replying, "My brother had found it during one of his hunts a while ago. He had stumbled upon a blazing cave and retrieved this little flower from there."
"Alright, I understand."
Gu Ruoyun put the Blood Moon Blossom down and smiled. "Come on, let's go out."
She needs the Dragon Phoenix Fruit. This Blood Moon Blossom was not of any use to her.
Perhaps I should shift my departure to an earlier date.
...
At this moment, a group of thugs carrying knives and spears had suddenly charged into the village. Instantly, the entire village flew into chaos and the villagers began screaming bloody murder. However, they were no match for the bandits in the end. They then tied the men and women up and dragged them into the village square.
Gu Ruoyun and Xiao Yu had just stepped out from the storage room when a group of thugs burst in through the door. Those thugs immediately stepped towards them in an attempt to seize the two without any explanation.
Xiao Yu jumped in fright and quickly hid behind Gu Ruoyun, peeking out with timid eyes and staring at the bandits in terror.
"Stop! What are you trying to do?"
Just as the group was about to approach Gu Ruoyun, someone yelled loudly from outside. They then saw the tanned man striding in. "You band of bandits," he cried out angrily, "The Wind Fall Village has respectfully given you half of our harvest each year! Why are you going back on your word now and causing trouble for the villagers of Wind Fall Village?!"
"You can blame it on the fact that the food you've contributed isn't enough for the space between our teeth! Qin Hao, will you come with us willingly or do we have to use force?"
The two bandits also made a move to capture Gu Ruoyun and the little maiden behind her as they spoke.
Qin Hao was so enraged that his face turned ashen. His tanned features were filled with anger as he replied furiously, "You dare lay a finger on them with your dirty claws! Just try!"
"Haha, a little kid like you dares to threaten us? Have you forgotten how your parents have died?"
The group of bandits burst into laughter and spoke with ridicule.
At that moment, they did not notice the increasingly chilly look in the girl in green's eyes.
