As soon as she heard this, Zhao Xiaoli was immediately unhappy.
With her hands on her hips and her well-developed chest puffed out, she said indignantly, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"
"How can I look down on you? Don't you know that everyone has their own specialty?" Wu Tian said. "Do you think all herbs are good things? What if you pick a poisonous herb and poison someone to death? You wouldn't be able to compensate even if you sold yourself!"
Zhao Xiaoli was even more displeased. "You're looking down on me!"
"No, you have to take me with you today, or I'll follow you everywhere and see where you can run!"
Wu Tian chuckled playfully. "From what you're saying, do I have to follow you to the restroom too?"
Zhao Xiaoli was stunned, and then her face turned red with shame. She huffed angrily, "Pervert!"
Wu Tian was also a bit helpless. Zhao Xiaoli was just like that, her temper as stubborn as a rock in a latrine.
If he didn't take her with him today, who knew how long this girl would make a fuss.
Wu Tian thought that it wouldn't hurt to bring her along, so he nodded and said, "Alright, you can come if you want. But let's make one thing clear, you're not allowed to run around! If you don't behave, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Zhao Xiaoli said with a proud expression, "This young lady won't have any problems!"
Wu Tian chuckled inwardly, "Still calling yourself 'this young lady'? What kind of young lady are you? A convenience store young lady?"
Afterward, Wu Tian took Zhao Xiaoli to the mountains.
Now that he had inherited the divine doctor's legacy, Wu Tian felt that the mountains were truly full of treasures, and he could easily dig up some good herbs.
However, Wu Tian's standards had also risen, and he really couldn't be bothered with ordinary herbs!
The two of them fumbled around in the mountains with hoes and small baskets. Zhao Xiaoli might be good at herding cattle, but she was really not cut out for manual labor.
She got tired after only a few steps and complained incessantly. Wu Tian couldn't help but regret bringing her along.
"Hey, hey, hey, Wu Tian, I see something good!" At this moment, Zhao Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and she suddenly pointed at something on the ground.
"Look at this, is this ginseng?"
"I heard that ginseng is a good thing. Can one plant sell for a lot of money?"
Wu Tian glanced at it and smiled. "Ginseng is indeed a good thing. Good ginseng can sell for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions!"
"That amazing!" Zhao Xiaoli said excitedly and quickly snatched the hoe. "I found this, and I'll dig it myself. You're not allowed to snatch it from me!"
Wu Tian shrugged, not intending to dig. Zhao Xiaoli went to dig it herself.
The soil around the "ginseng" was very tight. Even with a hoe, he couldn't even dig a pit.
Zhao Xiaoli dug for more than ten minutes, panting and exhausted, and finally managed to dig it out.
Zhao Xiaoli treated the "ginseng" like a treasure and carefully wiped off the dirt.
She exclaimed excitedly, "I didn't expect to find such a good thing as soon as I came up the mountain. It seems my luck is really good!"
Wu Tian glanced at the "ginseng" and suddenly showed a confused expression. "Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be ginseng!"
Zhao Xiaoli was greatly startled, then said in disbelief, "What nonsense are you talking about? How is this not ginseng? Ginseng looks like this!"
Wu Tian said, "This really isn't ginseng. It's just the most common Angelica sinensis, which is good if it sells for a few yuan."
"A few yuan?!" Zhao Xiaoli was stunned, then glared at Wu Tian angrily. "Didn't you say this was ginseng? You lied to me, didn't you!"
Wu Tian said innocently, "I didn't say this was ginseng. I just said ginseng is a good thing. You insisted on digging it, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"You!" Zhao Xiaoli thought about how she had worked herself to death and dug up such a thing, and her lungs were about to explode with anger.
But she really couldn't blame Wu Tian, as Wu Tian hadn't said it was ginseng!
"I'm so angry!"
Zhao Xiaoli cursed and threw the Angelica sinensis on the ground, not forgetting to stomp on it twice.
Seeing her furious appearance, Wu Tian chuckled in his heart.
With his skills, how could he not recognize that it was Angelica sinensis?
But Zhao Xiaoli was too arrogant, so this was a small punishment for her.
After this incident, Zhao Xiaoli's enthusiasm was completely extinguished.
If they hadn't reached the mountainside, she would have wanted to go back.
And after Zhao Xiaoli quieted down, Wu Tian's ears finally had some peace, and he slowly dug up some herbs.
Although these herbs were not as good as wild lingzhi, they could still fetch two to three thousand yuan when combined.
Today's harvest was quite good, so Wu Tian decided to go down the mountain.
But at this time, Zhao Xiaoli started causing trouble again.
She pointed at a crooked-necked tree and said, "Wu Tian, what is that?"
Wu Tian looked up and said, "That's just ordinary wild fruit. It has no medicinal properties, but it should taste pretty good."
Zhao Xiaoli said, "I'm so thirsty, go pick some for me to eat!"
Wu Tian thought, "Why are you ordering me around?" So he sat down on the ground and said, "You're thirsty, but I'm not. If you want to eat, go pick it yourself!"
"You scoundrel!" Zhao Xiaoli gritted her teeth in anger, but seeing that Wu Tian had already lain down, she knew she couldn't get him to do anything.
So she said with a face full of resentment, "You just wait! I won't give you any if you want to eat them later!"
After saying that, Zhao Xiaoli directly climbed up the crooked-necked tree.
The crooked-necked tree was not tall and had many places to step on, so even with Zhao Xiaoli's agility, she could slowly climb up.
Zhao Xiaoli picked the wild fruits and threw them one by one at Wu Tian, making him jump.
Wu Tian looked at Zhao Xiaoli and said, "Hey! What are you doing!"
"Ah!" Zhao Xiaoli put on a surprised look, then smiled and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
"You did it on purpose!" Wu Tian knew Zhao Xiaoli was doing it on purpose and couldn't help but mutter.
Zhao Xiaoli raised the corner of her eyes triumphantly and was about to continue picking fruits.
But at that moment, a caterpillar crawled out from behind the wild fruits!
"Ah!" Zhao Xiaoli was terrified.
She leaned back forcefully and lost her balance, falling from the tree!
Although the tree was not tall, if she landed on the back of her head, it would still be very dangerous!
"Be careful!" Wu Tian was also startled and quickly rushed over.
Zhao Xiaoli felt that her life was about to end. She regretted it deeply, wishing she hadn't climbed the tree if she had known this would happen.
She tightly closed her eyes, her heart pounding wildly, but she found that she didn't seem to be injured.
She tentatively opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw Wu Tian's face.
She had fainted. She had fallen into Wu Tian's arms!
