After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Ye Xunqing rested for a few days, which was considered a wedding leave for himself. It was a pity that he couldn't go on a honeymoon. He was still thinking about where to go for his honeymoon, but later because it was too hot and he had run out of money, he just rested at home.

Feng Jingheng was called to a meeting by the village chief. The topic of discussion was probably the drought problem these days, to see if they could come up with a solution.

Ye Xunqing wasn't idle either. Last time, he'd said he wanted Mo Yuyan to go up the mountain to identify herbs, and now was the perfect opportunity. The mountain was cool, with streams flowing out, and the vegetation was still quite lush.

But this water is definitely not enough to save the rice, and it is too far away. By the time the stream water is diverted there, it will have evaporated.

"Second sister-in-law, are you going out?" Seeing Ye Xunqing and the others carrying baskets, Liu Xiaojing immediately came over and asked.

"Well, let's go to the mountain to pick some herbs." Ye Xunqing did not hide it from her, "We won't be back for lunch. If your second brother comes back, let him go to the mountain to find us."

Liu Xiaojing really wanted to go with them, but she didn't know how to grow herbs or pick them.

"Oh, then be careful on the road, there are a lot of snakes in the mountains." Liu Xiaojing reminded.

Ye Xunqing nodded, "Okay, I understand."

As soon as he entered the mountains, a cool breeze hit him. Ye Xunqing shook his head, enjoyed the mountain breeze for a while, then picked up his sickle and walked forward.

Mo Yuyan held a small hoe in his hand, which was used to dig herbs. There were many herbs in the mountains, but not everyone knew them. Moreover, some herbs were poisonous, so only professional doctors knew how to use them.

Ye Xunqing was still hoping that Mo Yuyan could dig out ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains, but Mo Yuyan said that the environment here was not suitable for the growth of wild ginseng, so no wild ginseng could be dug.

Although there was no wild ginseng, there were still many other herbs, such as plantain and snow primrose, countless. They only dug half a small basket of common herbs, leaving more space for more expensive herbs.

"There are lilies growing in the mountains. If we can dig up some lilies, we might be able to sell them for a high price," said Mo Yuyan.

Ye Xunqing's impression of lilies is still the scented lilies in the flower shop, but he has heard that lilies are poisonous. Can they be used as medicine?

"Lily roots are like garlic, slightly bitter in taste, and have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying." Mo Yuyan added, "Now is the season when the lilies are falling and growing. If you can find lilies that are still growing, leave a mark and come back to dig them up when the weather gets colder, the price will definitely be high."

"Let's go." Ye Xunqing made a quick decision, "Let's go find it."

They continued walking up the mountain. There were many people going up the mountain, some were chopping wood, some were hunting. If Ye Xunqing knew them, he would say hello. If not, he would avoid them as much as possible.

Lilies are hard to find. Ye Xunqing and his friends walked around the mountain and their baskets were almost full, but they still didn't find any lilies.

"Let's take a break." Ye Xunqing sat on a big rock beside the stream. "Let's wait for Ah Heng. If he goes up the mountain, he will definitely take this road."

Mo Yuyan put down the basket, took out his water bag and dry food, and began to replenish his strength.

"A clear spring flows over the rocks." Ye Xunqing casually plucked a wild flower and threw it into the stream, saying, "The air here is really fresh and cool enough. It would be nice if I could sleep here at night."

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. It's okay during the day, but at night, the mosquitoes can suck all your blood dry." Mo Yuyan didn't agree with him sleeping here.

Ye Xunqing just said it casually, not really wanting to sleep here, "Indeed, there are indeed a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain."

He took out the bread he had brought with him and was about to eat some. Just as he took a bite, he suddenly saw a headless figure in a black robe floating towards him from a distance.

"Ahem, ahem..." Ye Xunqing stood up and shouted, "Fuck, there's a ghost!"

Mo Yuyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man in black robe floating over.

"Brother..." Mo Yuyan suddenly got behind Ye Xunqing, "I'm scared!"

The same went for Ye Xunbai. He hurriedly hid in Ye Xunqing's arms and hugged his legs tightly.

Ye Xunqing calmed down after shouting. How could there be a ghost in broad daylight?

The "headless ghost" floated closer, and it turned out to be an old lady in black clothes. However, she kept her head down and had a black cloth wrapped around her head, so she looked like she had no head.

Ye Xunqing recognized the old lady and said respectfully, "Third Grandma, are you going up the mountain too?"

When Grandma San heard his voice, she stopped and looked at Ye Xunqing with her deep eyes, which made Ye Xunqing's scalp tingle.

If Ye Xunqing were to describe this Third Grandma, she would be a witch, very much like the bad witch in fairy tales.

Grandma San is old, with many wrinkles on her face, and her exposed hands look like dry tree bark.

"Yang Shu's son..." Grandma San spoke. Her voice was quite hoarse, which made her look more like a villain witch.

"Ah? Yes." Ye Xunqing nodded, "Yes, I am Yang Shu's son."

Grandma San looked at Ye Xunqing with her deep eyes. After a long moment, she revealed a confused expression. "Are you still alive?"

"Hmm?" Ye Xunqing's heart beat faster. Could it be that this witch... no, this fortune teller had seen something?

The third grandma walked up to Ye Xunqing and touched his hand with her dry hand. Ye Xunqing tried to dodge, but there was someone blocking his way, so he couldn't dodge.

"Bad fate, bad fate." The third grandmother said in a mysterious voice: "Yang Shu's son is destined to die young."

Ye Xunqing suddenly thought of the "eldest brother" he had no impression of, and then said: "Is the mother-in-law talking about my eldest brother?"

"It's you, it's you." The third grandmother suddenly said, "You have a bad fate. You are unlucky for your family and yourself. You are destined to die early."

Ye Xunqing was very surprised. No, where did this old woman come from? How could she be so accurate? Or was she just lucky?

"Mother-in-law, why are you cursing me?" Ye Xunqing said calmly, "Why am I unlucky for my family?"

The Third Granny ignored him and continued, "I told Yang Shu that you have a bad fate and a harsh face. You are destined to die early. But he didn't believe it. He didn't believe it."

Ye Xunqing's expression turned cold. "Mother-in-law, don't say that. I respect you because you are my elder. If you say that again, I will be angry."

"The disciple surpasses the master. He named you Qing, and you also took away your brother's vitality." The third grandmother continued to say, "You have a bad fate."

Ye Xunqing didn't want to believe these fictitious things, but he thought of his own origins, so he remained silent.

"You deserve to die." The Third Granny suddenly said seriously, "Your life span has come to an end. It's time for you to go to the King of Hell."

Ye Xunqing's palms were covered in cold sweat. Although he didn't think what the old woman said was true, he couldn't help but sweat. It was a scorching hot summer, but he was cold from head to toe.
