At the back mountain of Peerless City.
According to the season, autumn was the best time to pick herbs every year.
Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water! The herbs in the Ming family's medicine shop basically came from this forest in the back mountain.
In the past, Ming Yue would gather herbs together with her grandmother because she heard from the elders that it was easy to get lost in this dense forest. Even if she was born and raised in Peerless City, she could not guarantee that she would be safe. Therefore, it was still safe to have the old man's company.
However, because the old woman's health was getting worse year by year, she could not even climb the mountain road this year. Therefore, before Ming Yue left, her grandmother warned her not to go too deep. Once she lost her direction, it would be dangerous.
However, Ming Yue was already lost!
In the depths of the dense forest, Mingyue's petite figure was carrying a wicker basket and a bow and arrow as she walked forward.
At present, she did not know if she was walking on the road to go home. The sweat on her forehead was crystal clear and hung on her chin. Then, it slid down one by one.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. The sound of heartbeats could be heard clearly, and the sound of sweat dripping could be heard clearly.
"Drip! Drip!"
After all, they were deep in the forest. The trees blocked the sky and the sun could not shine in. In such an environment, many small creatures and insects could not survive, so there was basically no sound.
She should have picked the herbs in the basket, but she had lost her way home. She was very anxious and even a little afraid. There was no scent of any living creature in the surrounding dozens of miles, let alone the existence of people.
"Roar!"
A loud and clear roar sounded. Ming Yue was so scared that her hair stood on end. She hurriedly took off her bow and arrow.
This was obviously the black bear's voice.
A bush of thorns not far away was shaking violently. Not long after, the black bear finally appeared.
Looking at the bright moon not far away, the big guy drooled as if he was extremely hungry.
Immediately after, it pounced towards Ming Yue. The black bear's body was as big as a cow, but its strength was much stronger than a cow's.
Every time the black bear's feet landed, a pit would be formed on the ground. However, the only drawback of this huge creature was that it was heavy and slow to run.
Brightmoon hurriedly drew her bow and shot an arrow.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A series of arrows shot out, seemingly piercing the bear's body. However, for such a huge animal, ordinary arrows were like scratching an itch. They did not hit the bear's skin at all, only sinking into its fur.
The black bear trembled slightly, and the arrows on its body fell.
Seeing this, Ming Yue panicked. It could even be said that she was extremely frightened. She turned around and ran, shouting as she ran.
"Help! Help!"
As the black bear was cumbersome, Ming Yue ran in front while the black bear chased behind. It was unknown how long they ran and how many miles they ran on the mountain road.
Seeing the black bear getting further and further away, Ming Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, Ming Yue suddenly tripped over a rock in front of her.
When Black Bear saw Brightmoon trip, his heart instantly became frantic. His running speed instantly increased by several times. In less than three seconds, he was only one meter away from Brightmoon.
"Ah! Help!"
Ming Yue closed her eyes in despair and shouted for help. At this moment, the black bear's big mouth and fangs were already opened to the extreme. In the next second, it would definitely be able to swallow Ming Yue whole.
It's over. No one will save me in such a place. I'm still very young and I haven't even confessed to the person I like…
When people were at their most desperate, they would always think of some regretful things. If life could be reborn, she would definitely make good use of it.
"Boom!"
"Ouch…Ouch!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, followed by a few consecutive wails.
It was as if something huge had smashed into the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
At this moment, Ming Yue gradually opened her eyes. The ferocious black bear in front of her was already lying on the ground ten meters away. Its entire body was trembling and white foam was coming out of the corner of its mouth.
This?
Just as Ming Yue couldn't believe the miracle that happened in front of her eyes was real, a left hand stretched out in front of her eyes. There were teeth marks left by a child not long ago on it.
Such familiar hands!
"Miss Mingyue, Black Bear is already dead. Are you alright?？”
Until a crisp sound rang out, Ming Yue could not help but turn to look behind her.
He was dressed in a white robe, had a handsome face, a pair of mesmerizing eyes, and held a long saber in his hand.
For a moment, Ming Yue's heart was about to melt.
The person who had come was the handsome young master who had generously given him silver two days ago and had kindly saved Little Nan, Nie Feng.
"Thank you, I…I'm fine!”
Ming Yue held Nie Feng's hand as she stood up and asked shyly.
"Why are you here?"
Nie Feng's lips curled up as he spoke indifferently.
" I'm staying in a big inn at the foot of the mountain. Early in the morning, I heard a cry for help from afar, so I rushed over. I didn't expect it to be you..."
Then, the two of them looked at each other. Ming Yue seemed to have thought of something important and asked again.
"Are you that Nie Feng from the World Association?”
"Oh? There are so many people with the same name in this world. How could Miss Ming Yue think that I'm that Nie Feng from the World Association?”
Nie Feng directly asked Ming Yue with a smile.
After all, he was sneaking into Peerless City this time. He could not casually reveal his whereabouts, even if the other party was Ming Yue.
"I don't care if you're Nie Feng from the World Association or not, I still like you!”
Ming Yue mustered up her courage to say the words that she wanted to say the most in her heart. Then, she turned around and blushed. Perhaps, compared to facing Nie Feng directly, her current appearance was better.
When Nie Feng heard that, he was instantly stunned. After being stunned for less than half a minute, he immediately changed the topic.
"Uh…it's not far from the foot of the mountain. Let me send you down the mountain!”
After Nie Feng finished speaking, Ming Yue followed the path Nie Feng had pointed out down the mountain.
At this moment, Ming Yue couldn't be happier. She finally had the chance to say the words that she wanted to say the most, and it was in such an occasion where there were only the two of them.
Perhaps this was the so-called fate!
Not long after, Ming Yue finally walked out of the dense forest under Nie Feng's lead.
"Thank you, Nie Feng!"
A pair of bright eyes gazed deeply at Nie Feng. After a simple farewell, Ming Yue walked towards the medicine shop in the city.
Because she had promised her grandma that she would be home before noon. Otherwise, her grandma would be worried!
When she returned to her own medicine shop, everything in front of her could not help but surprise Ming Yue.
"Grandma, who gave you so many gifts? There's even a big happy word on them!”
"Silly child, you're about to get married. Grandma is happy for you. This morning, not long after you left, Young City Lord Dugu Ming came to give the betrothal gift. Tomorrow, you'll be the daughter-in-law of the Dugu family!”
The old woman said with a happy expression, but to Ming Yue, this was undoubtedly a blow to the sky.
Because in her heart, other than Nie Feng, there was no one else who could fit in. Now, her grandmother actually wanted her to marry Dugu Ming, who she had hated for many years.
This was simply ridiculous to the extreme.
"Grandma, I don't want to marry Dugu Ming!”
Ming Yue finally spoke out the cry that came from the depths of her soul.
