Jianwu Continent, Northern Territory, Man City.
Dongfang spit out his words, and young Lin Tian dragged his tired body back to the thatched house he built with his own hands.
"Brother, you are back!"
Lin Long was lying on the bed and wanted to get up, but he was too weak to do so.
"Long'er, my brother is incompetent and couldn't find any medicinal herbs for you..."
After seeing Lin Long, Lin Tian blamed himself.
Since the death of their parents, the brother and sister have been dependent on each other.
In this cruel world of cultivators, as mortals, they have a hard time surviving.
When they were thirsty, they often drank from the spring water in the mountains. When they were hungry, they would catch various wild animals and pick wild fruits to feed their bellies.
There was really no food to eat, so his brother Lin Tian took the risk to steal rice from ordinary people's houses.
Without fire, I could only swallow the dry rice grains with the vegetable leaves.
In this world where cultivators are respected, mortals who cannot cultivate can only be relegated to the lowest level, and they are extremely lucky to be alive.
"Brother, it's okay. You should have a good rest first. I've prepared sesame seeds for you. You haven't eaten for a whole day and a night."
Lin Long looked at Lin Tian with concern, his eyes filled with distress.
Lin Tian has been busy all day and night looking for medicinal herbs.
"Don't worry, brother." Lin Tian sat down and continued, "Your illness can't be delayed anymore. After eating the wild fruits, I will go to Buluoshan again. I hope I can find typhoid grass this time."
His younger sister, Lin Long, contracted a cold when she went hunting with him. She had a high fever when she returned home, and her condition became worse day by day. This made Lin Tian anxious.
It would be fine on normal days, but it happened after the Bandit Sword Team came to collect "protection fees."
Lin Tian gave all his money to the bandits. He didn't have any spiritual stones, so he naturally had no money to buy medicine.
He had no money for medical treatment, so he had to go to the mountains to collect typhoid grass that could cure typhoid fever.
Unfortunately, bad luck, Lin Tian didn't even see a hair after a busy day.
It seems that the road has reached a dead end, but Lin Tian has never been a person willing to surrender to fate.
"Long'er, please stay in bed and recuperate first. Brother, I'll come back when I go."
Lin Tian's eyes flashed coldly and he made up his mind.
In this case, Lin Tian had no choice but to take risks and go to Sanjianmen's medicine hall to steal medicine.
If discovered, he would most likely be executed as a thief!
"If you die, just die. Without cultivation, living will be more uncomfortable than death!"
Lin Tian was determined to do something big.
"If I could practice, how could I have fallen to this level?"
After a short rest, Lin Tian embarked on the tragic road of stealing medicine.
This is the tragedy of the weak.
Lin Tian walked towards the medicine hall step by step with anxiety. He suddenly felt that this road was so long.
Everyone who lives in Man City knows that Sanjian Sect has strict discipline and shows no mercy to its own people.
If Lin Tian was caught stealing herbs, he would probably lose his life.
After many twists and turns.
Lin Tian finally arrived at the door of the medicine hall. He was so tired that he almost collapsed in front of the hall.
There are two guards in front of the medicine hall, but they are both innate second-level strong men!
"Not to mention two guards, even two dogs, I might not be able to defeat them."
Lin Tian still has a very clear understanding of his own strength.
Before he had the strength, Lin Tian would struggle to do anything.
"How do you sneak in?"
Lin Tian looked at the closed door and had no idea for a moment.
Based on the belief that you have come and never leave empty-handed, Lin Tian observed his surroundings.
Immediately afterwards, several towering trees came into Lin Tian's eyes.
Those trees looked extremely strong. Their branches stretched out in the medicine hall courtyard and should be able to support Lin Tian's weight.
"Yeah, I can climb the tree and get in!"
With Lin Tian's ability to climb trees in the mountains to pick wild fruits, climbing these trees was easy and very simple.
But there are two guards next to the tree. If you climb up like this, you will definitely be discovered.
OK, the method of climbing trees to steal medicine was crossed out by Lin Tian.
When he was at a loss, Lin Tian suddenly saw a wild dog crawling out of the wall of the medicine hall. The dog barked a few times and then slipped away with its tail between its legs.
"There is actually a hole here, I can try to get in!"
Lin Tian was ecstatic.
"Long'er is saved!"
This is Lin Tian's only thought at the moment.
"For the sake of Long'er's life, it's not impossible to dig into a dog hole. It's just dignity, not worth Long'er's importance."
Lin Tian murmured to himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian walked to the cave very carefully, for fear of leaking any sound.
The hole is not big, and ordinary people will not be able to get through it.
However, due to lack of food all year round, Lin Tian's body was extremely thin, but he was still able to squeeze in.
"Then let's do it this way." Lin Tian thought to himself.
The process of drilling the hole was uneventful. After a lot of effort tomorrow, we finally reached the inside of the medicine hall.
The yard was full of medicinal fragrance, and there were three rooms. Each room was filled with various medicines. The medicinal fragrance made Lin Tian extremely intoxicated.
He quickly calmed down and found that there was no one in the medicine hall, so he immediately entered the hall and rummaged through cabinets one by one.
Years of living in the wild have given Lin Tian a good knowledge of herbs that can cure typhoid fever.
Typhoid grass is the best choice.
He quickly gathered the herbs he needed, put them in his pocket, and put everything back in its place without leaving a trace.
Immediately, Lin Tian climbed out of the cave again.
The whole process can be described as thrilling. If you happen to encounter a guard patrolling the dog hole, your end will be very miserable.
"Fortunately, fortunately! The sky has eyes, take pity on me, a humble person, and let me find the typhoid grass."
The setting sun in the sky was like blood. Lin Tian held his sister's life-saving herbs in his arms, and his joy was beyond words.
"With these herbs, my sister can be saved."
Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn't help but speed up his pace until there was no trace of the setting sun in the west.
...
Dark night fell, blackness swallowed up the remaining blue sky, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, gradually covering Man City.
"Finally we're home." Thinking of the process of searching for medicine, Lin Tian felt sad.
"Long'er, brother is back. This time I found herbs in the mountains!"
Lin Tian shouted happily as soon as he entered the house.
But the only response he received was the silence of the night.
"what happened?"
The closer Lin Tian got to his house, the more uneasy he became.
Normally, Lin Long would wait for him to come home before going to bed.
Lin Tian felt a little uneasy and quickly walked into the house.
The room was so dark that he had no choice but to light a candle and shine it on the bed.
The first thing he saw was his sister Lin Long lying stiffly on the bed, with no light in her eyes and a bloodless face.
"younger sister?"
Lin Tian panicked and almost dropped the candle in his hand to the ground.
Lin Long's face was as pale as frost, and his eyes were looking out the door, wanting to see through.
Lin Long's thin body was curled up in the thin quilt, and her purple lips were like violets in the dark night.
Lin Tiantian shook his last relative vigorously, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to cry loudly.
Lin Long had no reaction.
She died on Lin Tian's way home.
