CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 597: SHE REALLY WENT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ON HER KNEES

Bai Zhi’er blinked obediently, saying nothing unnecessary.

The woman turned around and walked away, the severity on her face replaced by a sly glee of a small-minded person getting their way.

Today is truly a lucky day!

No wonder her left eyelid kept twitching; turns out it was because she was going to find ginseng!

She originally just wanted to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables, unexpectedly bumping into a little girl who had dug up a ginseng root.

The little girl looked unfamiliar, not from the village, so the woman decided to tell some lies, figuring the other party wouldn’t be able to tell.

The woman planned to sell the ginseng for money to make some nice clothes for her son!

However, she hadn’t walked two steps before suddenly feeling someone hit her hard in the back of her knees with a stick.

"Ah—!" The woman screamed miserably, immediately falling to the ground in a kneeling posture.

It was not an exaggeration to say she was on all fours.

She had a mouthful of dirt and raised her head, her first reaction to turn around and angrily curse.

"You dare to ambush me!"

However, upon closer inspection,

Bai Zhi’er obediently stood in place, not moving at all.

Those people around her who looked like guards, even though their gazes were frighteningly cold, were not moving either.

Not to mention the group of dogs standing behind Bai Zhi’er.

It couldn’t possibly have been the dogs running over to push her.

The woman frowned in confusion.

She stood up, brushing off the dust from her clothes.

Thinking it was a coincidence, she hadn’t expected to be hit with a stick in the back again after walking two more steps.

"Snap!"

The Xiu Luo Envoys watched silently as the woman knelt on the ground again.

The woman cursed and stood up: "This is definitely some evil trick! I don’t believe it; if I walk far enough you won’t be able to hit me!"

She quickly walked away, but as if it was destined, every time she walked two steps, she would surely trip!

This made even the typically calm and composed Xiu Luo Envoys frown in puzzlement.

Had the woman’s face not been bruised and mouth full of dirt, they would have thought she was faking it to extort them.

The village woman was tough.

She tripped all the way down but kept moving forward without looking back.

Soon, she was out of sight, but faint cries of pain could still be heard from her falls.

The Xiu Luo Envoy couldn’t help but ask Bai Zhi’er: "Princess, are you really letting her go?"

That village woman was disrespectful to the Princess!

The little one smiled sweetly: "Just let her go, we should be reasonable people!"

Bai Zhi’er squatted down to pick some wildflowers nearby.

Big Yellow and the group of guard dogs sat in a row, waiting for Bai Zhi’er to place the little flowers on their fluffy heads.

Bai Zhi’er was delightfully playing with the dogs.

At the end of the mountain path, the woman came back crying.

"I was wrong, I’ll give it back to you, the ginseng isn’t mine, please stop making me kneel."

As soon as she finished speaking, she knelt down again with a "snap".

The Xiu Luo Envoys were slightly taken aback.

They could see the woman’s clothes were torn from the falls, and her forehead, needless to say, was covered in blood marks.

She really had been kneeling all the way.

Bai Zhi’er had just placed two yellow flowers on Big Yellow.

She turned around, looking at the woman without a hint of surprise.

The little one merely smiled sweetly, her fair cheeks like clouds in the sky.

"See, I told you, don’t take what’s not yours, the Mountain God is angry, and the consequences are serious."

The woman cried in pain.

She finally managed to kneel before Bai Zhi’er, and the little one stretched out her hand, whereupon the woman hurriedly placed the ginseng into Bai Zhi’er’s hand as if dropping a hot potato.
