Selena begged Jose to buy a book in the city that explained the effects of various plants. During this time, she almost remembered some common plants on the mountain based on the explanations in the book, which was considered a small achievement.That day, when Selena dug up a mint tree and put it in the basket behind her, she was about to stand up when her eyes fell on one spot. Some dry grass there. Before, the grass covered untrod den soft mud, but now there was a footprint left on it. The size was not Dad's footprint, and it looked like it had just been stepped on. Soon. When she followed the footprints and looked in, she saw blood stains on a few thorns that she hadn't paid much attention to just now, which made Selena's heart beat nervously.After all, there were only three members of her family when she went up the mountain, and her mother, Maria, went down early to cook, and her father, Jose, was not injured. There was probably an injured criminal hiding nearby. Selena's scalp
It was cloudy when Jose went out in the morning, and it began to rain lightly at noon. Jose braved the rain and came back carrying a load. In the afternoon, he could rest at home for half a day. At noon, the family talked about one thing while having dinner."Dad, you said Beerspa's Cavaliers recently caught a group of people smuggling fars?" Selena stopped to eat and asked in surprise.Jose took a bite of the wheat bread pancake and nodded: "In the past few days, people around Beerspa City have been talking about this matter. They said that a group of people were caught, and two of them ran away. They were all beggars in their twenties. Among them were A few of them who were only fourteen or fifteen years old. Alas, they are still a bunch of kids. They have no choice but to do this..."Selena's eyes flashed after hearing this. She lowered her head and took a piece of wheat bread cake, then gently broke off a small piece of cake and put it into her mouth. She felt that her mouth had no
Selena had calmed down for a while, now felt her heart pounding again. She still stopped the sense to not run away, which was considered extremely courageous. After stopping for a moment, she saw no one there again. She heard the sound, and he could neither move forward nor stop. After hesitating again and again, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk around the rusty iron, and then slowly move towards the direction of the sound.As I got closer, I saw that there was a relatively flat stone on the inner wall of the cave, which should have been a resting place for passers-by. At this time, there was a dark shadow lying on the stone, which could only be seen by the dark light in the cave. It looked like he was a person. He seemed to be freezing. His whole body was curled up in pain. Even if someone came in, he would remain motionless in that position. If he hadn't heard this person coughing just now, she might have thought that the dead man was lying on top. Selena took a car
The wound was beyond her expectation. The skin and flesh were turned out and the bones were visible. It looked like an arrow had hit the leg. If it had been taken well, it wouldn't have been a big wound, but it was obviously done in a rough way, as if someone had pulled it out with force. It looked like the entire wound was very torn, almost bloody and bloody, and it probably went without treatment for a few days. Coupled with the hot weather, the wound had festered. At this time, it seemed that there were still spots of pus and rot on it. Selena looked at it, and her face turned pale, and his scalp was numb.Fortunately, it rained yesterday and the weather was cooler. Otherwise, if the wound was bitten by flies, a lot of maggots would have appeared. The taste would really make life worse than death. Selena endured the constant vomiting in her stomach and quickly walked out of the cave with the empty pot of soup, intending to clean it and get some water to clean his wound.If the wound
Selena slept until midnight, then got up and took another comfortable hot bath, and then she seemed to be alive again. Maria thought it was because her daughter was tired these two days and didn't ask any more questions. They rummaged through the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that were drying outside, and the mother and daughter sat by the bed talking and making sachets. Because the sachets with the scent of flowers that Selena made with flowers were particularly popular, Selena asked her father to buy some fine cotton and gauze with nice colors from the cloth shop.Sachets are not as labor-intensive as weaving lace, and they are easy to sew. They can also earn some income by making some and selling them. Moreover, the well-scented sachets are especially popular with young girls and wives. The fine cotton and gauze material carries the fragrance of osmanthus. The sachets sold for 15-20 copper coins could be bought. Although it is expensive per foot fabric, if they spread it out and s
Selena was startled, and then the pain was like a bone being crushed. She couldn't help but gasp in pain, and cursed angrily: "You bad guy, let go!"As she spoke, she kept twitching her wrist, but apparently not only did she not pull out, but the other party tightened it tighter and tighter. In the end, she was sweating in pain and finally dared not move. The woman's wrist was already thin and tender. At her age, It was even more delicate, and could not withstand the heavy squeeze of a man who had done rough work.Selena cursed a few words and saw the man lying on the stone floor waked up. At this time, his eyes were half-closed, as if he had not opened them. There seemed to be some bloodshot eyes under his eyes, and they were blood-red. It took a moment to realize that this guy was not fully awake. Instead, he was a little confused and stunned because of the fever. He was basically in a dream, just a subconscious action.Selena endured the sharp pain in her wrist, frowned and secretly
What happened? Selena felt something was wrong.After collecting herbal medicine… I will never forget your kindness…Lucio was obviously saved by her, so why is the old man now saying a big favor without saying thank you? The brain of Lucio burned out? After Selena's eyes showed a trace of confusion, she seemed to suddenly understand something. Her eyes widened for a moment, and she was a little angry. Well, is this old man trying to take credit? And Lucio, is it so casual to repay a favor to anyone he sees? Did he throw away all her credit with just one word?The more Selena thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately took a step forward. She was so angry that she didn't pay attention to her steps. A stone was kicked into the cave, making a gurgling sound. When the people inside heard it, they immediately turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave and said: "Who is there?"Selena suddenly trembled when she heard the words, and suddenly woke up. A layer of swea
Many Beerspa knights have entered the Flower Mountain in the past two days, which made Selena, who had been a little relieved, suddenly nervous again. After all, the area around the foot of Flower Mountain is relatively remote, and there are not even many ordinary peasant residents here. There are only about ten various families. Why did so many knights suddenly come to patrol nearby? Not to mention Selena, even Jose and Maria were shocked, so they didn't go up the mountain again in the past few days.Although Selena did not go out, she paid attention to the outside in recent days. That day she saw through the window a man who seemed to be a captain of knights and an old man in his sixties passing by the road in front of her house. I also heard the old man say: "… Sir, please believe me. There is clearly a fur smuggler in the cave. His age, clothes, and injuries are exactly the same as what is written on the notice published by the government. Even if he takes the opportunity to run a
