she was no stranger to climbing mountains and wading through water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that her current body was weaker, so she didn’t dare to go too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was home to a vast variety of plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she spotted some honeysuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only early March, and the honeysuckle couldn’t be harvested yet; it was best to wait until the end of March or ideally, early April.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there were quite a few, Gu Youyou silently noted the location, planning to return later to harvest them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longdan grass had just begun to sprout its tender shoots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was the perfect time to harvest them, so she carefully dug up all that she found, storing them in the outer layer of her skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big fire had destroyed the bamboo basket Jin Zijin made for her, which was a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been so useful for carrying the harvested herbs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atractylodes, Anemarrhena, Solomon’s Seal — seeing so many familiar herbs delighted Gu Youyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these familiar little guys made the emotional build-up within her slowly dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had finally found her calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if she couldn’t cook?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could gather herbs, she could heal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gu Youyou around, the doctor from the neighboring village might as well be out of a job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determined to gather as much as she could, with thoughts of earning silver to build a house, Gu Youyou collected a large pile until her skirt could barely hold any more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was some rustling in the nearby bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ears were sharp, and she caught even the faintest sounds,Gu Youyou immediately became cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many wild animals in the mountains, and not a few of them were man-eaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsure of what was in the bushes, she didn’t dare to make any rash moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou crouched down, doing her best not to make a sound, focusing all her attention on the noises coming from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rustling sound continued; whatever it was, it wasn’t a small creature like a rabbit or a masked palm civet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the noise, it was at least as big as a large dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could it be a leopard, a wolf, or something of the sort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, how unlucky would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat broke out on Gu Youyou’s cheeks as she tightly gripped the stick she had taken when leaving the cave, her only available weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was extremely nervous;
