Chapter 207: Looking for the Taoist Priest
Jiang Zhennan’s lips curled into a smile when he heard Little Green’s slightly aggrieved voice. He said, “Of course, Little Green is very cute.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in an attempt to caress Little Green.
Little Green stood in front of him without moving, allowing Jiang Zhennan to touch him.
Lin Yuelan seemed to be standing at the side in a relaxed manner, but her eyes were filled with deep wariness and vigilance.
Jiang Zhennan’s hand touched Little Green.
Jiang Zhennan had initially thought that he would touch something cold, but the vine was quite warm. The vine’s skin was smooth like a baby’s skin too. If he hadn’t known that Little Green was a magical being, Jiang Zhennan would be so shocked and frightened by this exchange.
Jiang Zhennan’s fingertips gently touched the green leaf on the left. Xiao Lu shook the green leaf, stretched it out, and placed it on Jiang Zhennan’s palm. “Hello, masked uncle!”
Jiang Zhennan didn’t know what Little Green was doing. Little Green was offering him a handshake!
Jiang Zhennan also replied, “Hello, Little Green!”
Then, Little Green quickly pulled out the green leaf from Jiang Zhennan’s palm, then jumped up, and flew back to Lin Yuelan’s wrist, rolling into a jade bracelet.
Jiang Zhennan was stunned. He had no idea why Little Green reacted like this.
Lin Yuelan gently stroked little green and said with a smile, “Masked uncle, Little Green is shy!”
Jiang Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face softened.
Lin Yuelan said, “masked uncle, the rumors in the village can’t hurt me. Those people who want to punish me have problems to deal with now. As for the rest of them, they will only hide in fear when they see me.” Lin Yuelan told Jiang Zhennan directly.
Even though Jiang Zhennan didn’t know what had happened in Lin Family Village, he knew that Lin Yuelan wasn’t someone who would lie.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.” Then, he looked at the basket on the ground and asked, “Miss Yue ‘Er, you’re still short of a few herbs. Do you need help?” They all knew that Doctor Zhang had asked lady Yue ‘er to gather 136 types of medicinal herbs.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “not much, only four. Grandmaster said that I had to pick myself. I can’t ask for help from others. Masked uncle, if you want to help, you can help me pick some mushrooms and hunt some prey. I’ll bring them to town to sell tomorrow.”
Jiang Zhennan’s face stiffened slightly. Finding mushrooms felt a bit below someone of his stature. However, when he saw Lin Yuelan’s half-smiling expression, Jiang Zhennan could only brace himself and say, “alright!” It wouldn’t be the first time he was mushroom-picking anymore. In the past, who would have thought the great general would be bending over in a mountain to look for mushrooms?
The two of them were in the mountains. Lin Yuelan was looking for herbs. Little white was beside Jiang Zhennan, looking for mushrooms. Occasionally, when they encountered pheasants, rabbits, and so on, they would catch them.
After half a day, Lin Yuelan held a purple flower bud with three long green leaves in her hand and said with a happy smile, “I’ve finally found all of them!” This was the last herb she needed. “Little Green, let’s go home!” She grabbed the basket and whistled. She happily walked down the shady path with the basket on her back.
After walking for half an hour, they encountered a tall man in a black robe and an awe-inspiring big white tiger rummaging through the ground. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, making them glow in the forest.
In his hand, Jiang Zhennan was carrying four or five pheasants and five or six hares tied up with rattan. In his other hand, he was carrying a black cloth bag, which was undoubtedly filled with mushrooms.
When Lin Yuelan arrived in front of him, Jiang Zhennan immediately took the basket from Lin Yuelan and carried it on his back.
Lin Yuelan suddenly didn’t need to carry anything.
Little white walked in front of Lin Yuelan and knelt down on one knee. Lin Yuelan sat on it, and little white slowly got up.
Leading the way was a young girl riding on a white tiger. Behind her, a tall masked man was carrying a small basket on his back. He carried wild animals in one hand and a cloth bag in the other. He followed the big white tiger at a steady pace.
