Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Fulfilling the Wish

Chapter 71 -71 Fulfilling the Wish

Chiang Songhai was stunned for a long time.

He looked at the bright-eyed Chiang Xiao, and for a moment, he was somewhat bewildered.

He had never imagined that a thirteen-year-old girl could utter such words.

Although her voice was sweet and gentle, the words she spoke were as firm as iron.

Chiang Xiao said, “Grandfather, I will not provoke anyone on my own, but if someone offends me, I must retaliate heavily. I don’t want to rely on anyone’s protection. Having my own abilities is the safest, isn’t it?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that tomorrow she needed her grandfather to take her to Bai Gu Mountain, Chiang Xiao wouldn’t want to make things so clear to him.

It took Chiang Songhai a good while to digest her words.

Setting other things aside, Chiang Xiao’s attitude had been made very clear, and moreover, he agreed with her last sentence.

But what abilities could a thirteen-year-old girl possibly have?

Chiang Songhai sighed again, feeling utterly unable to argue with his granddaughter.

“Grandfather, let’s not bring up the matter of me apologizing again. However, I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Speak,” he said.

Chiang Xiao looked at him, her expression pleading and her voice even softer, “Would you take me to Bai Gu Mountain tomorrow?”

Chiang Songhai was startled by her sudden request.

“Nonsense!”

Bai Gu Mountain was not a place for her to go.

“Why is it nonsense? Grandfather, I’ve decided to diligently learn herbal medicine from you in the future.”

In the past, whenever her grandfather wanted to teach, she refused to learn.

Not only did he know herbs, he also had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, capable of curing common ailments. Previously, when there was no health clinic in the village, most people with minor illnesses would seek his treatment, making him like a Barefoot Doctor. But later, when medical practice certificates became necessary, he didn’t have one and, fearing trouble, he stopped treating patients, advising them to visit the health clinic instead.

“Haven’t you always been disinterested in this?” Chiang Songhai looked at her in surprise.

Chiang Xiao promptly responded, “I’ve had a change of heart, I am interested now! Grandfather, isn’t this also a skill if I learn it well? During my school vacations, I can help you gather herbs, and it would be good to earn a little extra income for our family too!”

“Little Xiao, if you want to learn, I will naturally teach you. You don’t need to go to Bai Gu Mountain,” he said.

Chiang Xiao said, “Grandfather, don’t lie to me. Every time you don’t go to Bai Gu Mountain, you hardly collect any herbs, which shows that there are fewer and fewer herbs on those hillside fields. But you’ve said before, Bai Gu Mountain is rich in resources…”

“But it’s too dangerous, how could I take you there?” Chiang Songhai shook his head.

Chiang Xiao sighed, “But grandfather, our house is out of rice, and we don’t have much money left, do we? You definitely plan to go to Bai Gu Mountain tomorrow to gather more things so that you can sell them the day after tomorrow at the market, right?”

Chiang Songhai felt a bit embarrassed and guilty when she mentioned the lack of rice at home, but on hearing the latter part, he couldn’t help but laugh, tapping her forehead, “You clever little girl.”

He indeed planned to make a trip to Bai Gu Mountain the next day, but he hadn’t expected Chiang Xiao to guess it.

Chiang Xiao blinked, putting on a slightly roguish air, “Anyway, if you don’t take me, I’ll just sneak along behind you tomorrow!”

Chiang Songhai was dumbfounded.

In the end, of course, Chiang Xiao got her wish.

Ge Liutao was startled when he found out about this, but since the decision was made, it wasn’t good for Chiang Songhai to go back on his word and change it. He could only prepare some additional things.

After taking a bath and entering the room, Chiang Xiao thought about going to Bai Gu Mountain the next day and felt immensely excited.

She hooked the door curtain properly and slipped into the Space.

As soon as she entered, she saw a sea of green.

The herbs she had planted before had indeed grown exceptionally lush, crowding the small plot of land she had carved out, leaving not a bit of space to spare.

If she hadn’t created a ditch, these herbs may have filled up the entire Black Land.
