Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Lin Xia looked at the boy who sold her out and her eyes narrowed.

Today she had something more important.

Next time, she would be the one to make trouble for him.

Walking down the rough mountain path, the young Lin Xia searched for the herbs that would be needed for her sister. The combination of the poison each time would be different, but there were only so many types that could be given to the children without them dying.

So there were only some specific herbs that the young Lin Xia had to obtain.

*rustle*

As she was searching for herbs, the young Lin Xia heard the rustling of leaves and turned her head vigilantly.

There were not only them who were on this mountain but also many wild animals. If they were not careful enough, they might met with snakes or even tiger and then be eaten cleanly. At that time, no one would be able to save them.

So whenever the children came to the mountain, they would never dare to go too deep.

This included the young Lin Xia. This time was an exception because what she wanted was to find the herbs that her young sister needed.

"Huh? There's a child here?" A man walked from behind the trees and looked at the young Lin Xia in surprise.

"Who are you? This is Lin Family's territory," the young Lin Xia warned and tried to keep her distance. Her hand was holding a sickle, ready to use in case it was necessary.

"Ah, I'm a doctor," the young Traveling Doctor Liu replied. "I was called to help my friend in the village nearby, but there's a lack of herbs, so I have to come here to look for it."

Hearing this, the young Lin Xia was not surprised.

The Lin Family controlled the entire area and also strictly controlled the distribution of herbs and medicine. In this way, those who were sick could only go to the Lin Family and paid a lot of money for their treatment.

Those who were poor had no way to be treated and could only wait for their death.

Even if the young Lin Xia was still young, she had already seen the practice of the Lin Family, so she knew about this. She had nothing to say about their practice because she couldn't do anything about it.

She's also part of the Lin Family.

As much as she hated being part of this family that was so cold towards their own members, she also knew that she enjoyed the resources given by the Lin Family. So the young Lin Xia could never stand against the Lin Family openly.

Only in the matter related to her sister did the young Lin Xia had to compromise.

"Are you also looking for herbs?" the young Traveling Doctor Liu asked with a smile. "How about if we look for it together? The herbs that you need can be given to you and what I need will be given to me first?"

"Are you good at looking for herbs?" the young Lin Xia asked with a frown.

"Hahaha! I have done this almost my entire life," the young Traveling Doctor Liu laughed out loud. He had learned how to look for herbs by himself because the price of these herbs in the stores were so expensive. Rather than forking a lot of money, it would be better for him to look for it himself.

And even though the young Traveling Doctor Liu was far younger at this time, he was already in his mid thirties. His knowledge for herbs and medicine had far surpassed the young Lin Xia.

"Ok, I'll trust you once," the young Lin Xia finally said.

In normal times, she would not trust a stranger's words. But at this moment, the young Lin Xia wanted to find a lot of herbs as much as possible to treat her sister.

So she chose to agree.

"Alright." the young Traveling Doctor Liu smiled.

…

Ever since then, the young Traveling Doctor Liu and the young Lin Xia would see each other once a week in the mountain. The medicine that the young Lin Xia made for her sister never stopped and she only gave a little bit each time, to help Lin Miao surviving but not to the point that she couldn't adapt.

The problem was, if this continued and then the Lin Family increased the dose again, it would be impossible for the young Lin Miao to survive.

So the young Lin Xia had to work harder.

And when the young Lin Xia came to the mountain, she also told the young Traveling Doctor Liu about her sister's matter.

"You want to bring your sister out of the Lin Family?" the young Traveling Doctor Liu was surprised when he heard this.

After coming here from time to time, the young Traveling Doctor Liu naturally knew how high the status of the Lin Family was. There were no one who would dare to offend them and as much as possible, they would try to curry favor with the Lin Family.

At the same time, the Lin Family was famous for their strict rules and education. The young children were all forced to adapt to poison in advance.

To be honest, when the young Traveling Doctor Liu first heard about it, he was angry.

Because he knew that in the current era, it was almost impossible for these young children to survive in such condition. Their body would be eroded from within and they wouldn't be able to live a long life. Find more chapters on empire

It was no wonder that the elders in the Lin Family usually didn't last long.

Only some of them could live longer.

And the young Traveling Doctor Liu also knew that the young Lin Xia was trying to increase her sister's survival chance. But this kind of method would not truly solve the root problem.

The young Lin Xia also knew this.

Because of that, what she wanted the most was to bring her sister out of the Lin Family.
