With the Buddha's Light Fruit, Si Niannian's confidence became 100%, but there was still one missing ingredient.
"Third uncle, I'm just going to collect medicine, you don't have to follow me."
Si Niannian was wearing sportswear and carrying a very nice medicine basket on his back. He was standing in the front yard of his house, looking at Si Xinghe in front of him with a speechless expression.
"Little princess, Third Uncle wants to ask you something..."
"Third brother, why are you stopping Nian Nian from collecting herbs? How old are you? You are still as childish as a child. You don't do anything serious all day long. It just so happens that I participated in an elderly activity a few days ago and met a few children. My friend, there is a sister whose daughter is about the same age as you. Let’s have a meal together tonight.”
Mrs. Si took action and carried Si Xinghe back.
Si Niannian took the opportunity and ran away quickly.
There are many small mountain peaks that no one cares about on the outskirts of Beicheng. They are Si Niannian's goals today.
What she was looking for was the no-regret grass, which was not uncommon. However, this herb had a weird temperament and was very afraid of strangers. The rarer it was, the easier it was to grow.
Si Niannian searched two peaks one after another before finally finding the Wu Regret Grass, and also harvested some other medicinal herbs.
It was already afternoon, the sky was overcast and a little stuffy, the birds in the forest were flying very low, it seemed like it was going to rain.
Because no one had ever entered this mountain peak, there was no road. Si Niannian could only explore forward little by little. She accidentally went in the wrong direction. When she reacted, she discovered that there was a small village in front of her.
At the entrance of the village, some people tied a young man to a pillar, surrounded by straw, and others each held a torch.
"I'm not, please let me go!"
The tied boy struggled hard, and when no one was paying attention, he glanced at the mountain next to him from the corner of his eye.
"You were obviously dead, but you suddenly came back to life. What else is it if you're not a ghost? Now you've made your grandma seriously ill. If we don't burn you to death, then the whole village will be affected by you."
An older man suddenly gave an order, and the people next to him quickly poured a bucket of liquid on the straw.
The pungent smell drifted into Si Niannian's nose along the wind.
It's gasoline!
"stop!"
Two pillars of water fell from the sky, extinguishing the straw that had been ignited by those people.
The boy who was tied to the pillar secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the forest next to him, waiting for the girl in his memory to come out.
Si Niannian jumped out and landed in front of the young man.
"Don't they know that killing is illegal? What mistake did he make that you have to do this to him?"
"Where did you come from, wild girl? This is our village's own business. Stop meddling in our own business!" the old man who had given the order before yelled angrily.
Others also echoed, "He is not a human, he is a ghost, he is a monster. If you help him, you will be killed sooner or later! His grandma was sucked by him and is bedridden now."
The young man shook his head quickly, "No, you are talking nonsense! My grandma is obviously sick, but you people are too ruthless and stubborn, and you insist on not letting me take grandma out to see a doctor!"
Si Niannian turned around and cut off the rope on the young man's body with a wave of his arm.
"Oops, the ghost has been released!"
"What a sin! The disaster has finally fallen on our village!"
Everyone was so frightened that they fled in all directions, and Si Niannian was even more puzzled.
"Why do they say you are a ghost?" He is obviously a human.
