Chapter 357- Thousand Gold Grains

Although the mountain wall was almost perpendicular to the ground that, for many people, it would be difficult to climb, for Shao Xuan, it was nothing. After all, he had been doing this kind of climb up a mountain often in the tribe when hunting, so he was experienced.

The old man stood below, watching Shao Xuan leap from the ground. He cleverly crawled from below up the mountain wall like a gecko sticking to the wall, looking comfortable and not struggling at all. Seeing this scene, the old man could not help but raise his gray eyebrows, staring at the back of Shao Xuan with burning eyes.

Shao Xuan, who was crawling up the mountain wall, sensed something. He stopped and turned back to look at the old man below.

The old man smiled oddly, then waved his hand at Shao Xuan, pointing to the grass on the mountain wall. “Go on, continue.”

Shao Xuan suppressed his questions and continued to climb up. Then, he reached out to the grass to pluck it, intending to directly pull it down.

“Hey! Don’t pull it, don’t pull! Dig the roots. With the roots it can last longer. Just dig with my knife, then!” The old man pulled a strange bronze knife out of his leather bag, then threw it over to Shao Xuan.

It’s a lot of crap. Shao Xuan abdomen.
[E/N: Don’t get this. (ﾉ_-;)…]

The throw was accurate. Shao Xuan left his one hand clasped on the wall of the mountain, while the other hand caught the knife. Then, with the knife, he dug out the white striped grass.

The knife looked strange, but very suitable for digging this kind of grass growing on the wall of the mountain. It was not long before the grass root was dug out.

“Done.” Shao Xuan threw the knife and grass down.

The old man hurried over, ignoring the falling knife, and carefully caught the fallen grass.

“What do you use this grass for?” Shao Xuan came down from the wall of the mountain and saw the old man cut down a piece of grass and put it in his mouth.

“Medicine, useful for bone injuries.” The old man did not say much, just kept vigorously chewing on the leaves, the muscles on his face twitching. After chewing and swallowing it, he felt that it was not enough, so he cut down a smaller leaf, then kept chewing.

Remembering the old man’s bone injury on his arm, Shao Xuan stared at the grass. He also saw the old man chewing on the grass changing his expression like his pain was lessening. Shao Xuan asked, “How does it taste?”

The old man didn’t say much, just cut off a small leaf and handed it to Shao Xuan. “Taste it?”

“Can I eat it without an injury?”

“You can as long as you don’t eat a lot. It’s okay.”

“Then, I will.” Shao Xuan took the leaves. When he had dug it out, he did not look closely, so only now did he find that the veins of the grass looked flexible. However, it was harder than he imagined, especially the parts with the thickest white stripes or veins. It seemed like a hard snap could have it make a crisp sound.

After taking a bite of the leaf’s tip first, Shao Xuan felt a cool bitter taste but did not find any side effect in his body. Then, he bit half a leaf, chewing it all up. This time, after eating the more veiny parts, the rich bitterness offset the cool taste down.

No wonder the old man’s face muscles were twitching like it was bitter.

The old man also wanted to see Shao Xuan’s bitter face, but found that Shao Xuan just wrinkled into a frown. There was no other expression.
