“Don’t worry,” Jiang Ming told Xiang Tianqi. “I’ll find the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s and save Bai Meimei.’
Jiang Ming rarely made absolute guarantees, but this time he made an exception.
Bai Meimei was arranged to stay in an empty room. The clinic had everything they needed.
Xiang Tianqi was wearing a pair of scrubs and staying with her inside. He was unwilling to leave.
Jiang Ming and the others tidied up and set off. However, the mountain road |was rugged and steep. It was very difficult to walk, let alone find the herb.
The legendary Yellow Gall Gra.s.s would only grow in the most dangerous places. No one knew how to find it.
“Yellow Gall Gra.s.s! Where are you?”
Yuan Hehe felt helpless and called out for it directly, making Jiang Ming laugh.
“If it knew that you were looking for it, it would probably run away,” Jiang Ming joked. Everyone was less nervous. However, they were already being watched.
“Hmph, it’s not funny anymore. Let’s go.”
Yuan Hehe pursed his lips and continued to look for the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s under his feet.
At this moment, a few people appeared out of nowhere.
By the time everyone could see clearly, seven muscular men had appeared in front of them, each holding a long spear.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
The leader pointed at Jiang Ming and questioned him loudly.
When Jiang Ming saw this, he roughly understood something. He did not want to turn hostile immediately. He thought for a while and politely said, “We’re here to look for Yellow Gall Gra.s.s. Sirs, please help us out.”
He smiled faintly.
When the men heard this, they laughed loudly. It was ear-piercing.
Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan could not help but roll their eyes.
They were really unpleasant!
The laughter of the people disappeared in an instant. They became fierce.
The leader pointed his knife at Jiang Ming and the others.
“Let me tell you! This road is mine! If you want to pa.s.s…”
“Cough up the money!’
Another person finished his sentence.
Jiang Ming sneered.
“Is that your response?”
The burly men chuckled.
“Then we won’t stand on ceremony! Go!”
The seven burly men charged forward.
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe behind him. The two of them smiled at him at the same time.
The three of them charged forward.
Jiang Ming dealt with two of them at once.
It was better to leave these weaklings for the other two to use as practice. He did not want to partic.i.p.ate too much.
After that, Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe flew around the battlefield
After a while, all the men were defeated.
“Wasn’t I good?” Yuan Hehe stepped on a man’s stomach and asked proudly.
Jiang Ming smiled, but he could not help but frown.
After all, the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s had not been found yet.
“Ah! Sir, spare us! Spare us!”
The men who had been beaten were crying and begging for mercy. They were no longer arrogant. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately. There was no time to waste on them now. Jiang Mings face was tense.
“Do you know where the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s is?”
The men raised their heads and looked at each other.
When Jiang Ming saw their expressions, he immediately understood and continued to interrogate them.
“Hurry up and tell me!”
“Okay! We’ll talk!”
The men agreed one after another. They were frightened. The leader hesitated for a moment and told Jiang Ming, “Actually, actually, the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s is in our village.”
Village?
Jiang Ming was stunned. Then, he asked the man to explain in detail.
“There’s a village in the mountains,” the man told them. “It was built by the town outside. The precious Yellow Gall Gra.s.s in the mountains became the heirloom of the village.”
“Jiu Zhu, let’s go now,” Sikong Wuyuan said anxiously.
“No,” the bandit leader immediately said.
“Why not?”
When Sikong Wuyuan heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to punch this person, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
Then, under Jiang Mings signal, the bandit leader told them.
It was too dangerous to go during the day. After all, the three of them were outsiders. The soldiers patrolling the village would immediately notice something unusual.
After listening to the bandit leader, Jiang Ming nodded in agreement. He decided to take action after dark.
“In order to be safe, we have to be careful.’ The other two nodded in agreement.
Jiang Mings idea was definitely not wrong.
Jiang Ming released the bandits.
Yuan Hehe started to worry.
“If we let them go, will they go back and tell on us?”
When the bandit leader heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry! Bandits also have honor! We also have our principles and bottom line! ”
Jiang Ming almost laughed out loud.
These guys had principles and bottom lines?
It did not matter. He would trust them for now.
The bandits left, and Jiang Ming and the other two followed them to the periphery not far from the village.
From the outside, it looked a little mysterious. This mountain village was built very grandly.
Jiang Ming could not help but sigh.
His decision was right.
The three of them carefully made a bonfire and ate some wild game. Finally, they entered the village when darkness fell.
According to the bandits, the terrain in the village was not complicated. However, because it was wide and the terrain was not complicated, it was easier for the people inside to find outsiders.
The three of them kept walking.
As for the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s, they had to go around the village chief’s position to find it.
Sure enough, even though the three of them were walking so quietly, they still attracted the warning of the patrolling soldiers in the village.
“Who are you?” “Enemies! ”
“Catch them!”
The three of them heard voices coming from all directions. Those voices were really loud.
Suddenly, there were specks of light in front of their eyes. Moreover, there were more and more of them, and they were getting denser and denser.
“The torches are coming,” Jiang Ming told Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe.
Under the torchlight, a dark crowd of soldiers from the village rushed over.
In a short while, the three of them were surrounded.
Jiang reached out to block Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe, afraid that they would rush out on impulse.
These soldiers in straw armor seemed to be quite well-behaved. They only surrounded the three of them and did not make trouble.
Seeing them standing with torches in their hands, Jiang Ming felt that there would be a greater crisis.
At this moment, the soldiers moved to both sides in unison and opened up a path. A woman walked toward the encirclement.
Jiang Ming looked over.
This woman’s appearance was not outstanding. She had narrow eyes and a round face. However, her imposing aura was incomparable.
She seemed valiant.
The soldiers all bowed their heads respectfully to her.
Jiang Mings eyes flashed.
It seemed that this woman was their leader.
After the woman glanced at the three outsiders, her gaze fell on Jiang Ming..
