Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Big Tiger and Second Dog
"If a medicine is used incorrectly, it won\'t be fatal. You just need another medicine to fix it. Besides, you\'re out here doing business with medicinal materials, not healing the sick and saving lives. Why so serious? How about this, we become friends, you give me a list of medicinal materials, and I\'ll send them to you right away."
Chen Yu furrowed his brow, surprised by how persistent this guy was.
Furthermore, as the guy reached over his shoulder, a dozen or so brawny men began to emerge nearby.
These men all bore the unmistakable mark of Nan Yun, each with the same tattoo on their necks.
One glance was enough to tell these men belonged to the same group.
Chen Yu let out a slight breath, his body suddenly twisting as he grabbed the man\'s waist and fiercely pinched a chunk of his flesh.
"Are you saying I can\'t leave here intact today if I don\'t buy the medicine?"
The man\'s pupils dilated suddenly, wanting to say something but not daring to speak, as intense pain made his body tremble uncontrollably.
He knew that if Chen Yu applied a bit more force, he could tear off the piece of flesh on his stomach.
"Brother, who exactly are you?"
Chen Yu didn\'t answer, just increased the pressure of his grip.
"Don\'t move, and don\'t speak. Just get me out of here like this, and signal your men to back off, or else you\'ll bear the consequences."
The man didn\'t dare to delay, nodding repeatedly while gesturing to the approaching men with a wave to back off.
Chen Yu, holding the man, watched his surroundings cautiously and soon reached the entrance.
But just as he was about to leave, a burly man suddenly jumped out from the doorway, holding a thick medicinal harvesting stick in his hand.
However, this guy appeared to be quite simple-minded, even his eyes seemed a bit confused.
His jump might have been intimidating at first, but a closer look would reveal that he was nothing but a simpleton.
"Er Gou brother? Where are you headed?"
Chen Yu couldn\'t help but pause. Didn\'t the simpleton realize he was currently holding Er Gou hostage?
Er Gou was getting impatient now, "Get the fuck out of the way, can\'t you see I\'m busy here?"
That, well, the big brother didn\'t say much, just nodded and turned to sit down beside them.
Er Gou\'s body visibly shuddered. He had said that line in hopes of reminding the simpleton to help him escape, but to his surprise, the guy just ignored the situation entirely and sat down nonchalantly.
Just as he was about to speak again, Chen Yu applied more force in his hand.
"Er Ge, what\'s going on with you today? Hurry up and take me to the place where you said those medicinal materials grow. I have to see what kind of treasure spot it is!"
Chen Yu said this to distract the simpleton so he could continue to take Er Gou away, but unexpectedly, the guy leapt up immediately.
"So you were going to the medicinal herb site? Why didn\'t you say so earlier? Only I know that place, and only I can take you there! Since that\'s the case, let\'s set out right now."
Chen Yu didn\'t react at first, even doubting whether this big lug\'s brain had a problem.
However, since this big lug knew the way to the medicinal herb growing area, that did save him a lot of trouble.
"That\'s right, Ergou and I came out specifically to find you, hurry up and take us there."
The big lug happily nodded his head and then drove a truck over from the side.
After the three of them got on the truck one after another, the big lug started the vehicle and raced off.
On the way, Ergou kept winking at the big lug, but the big lug just ignored him, pretending not to see.
It took a full three hours before the truck stopped in a bumpy area.
"Ergou brother, we\'re here, come down quick, we still need to cross over the stone wall."
Fear suddenly appeared on Ergou\'s face, but the next moment it turned to excitement.
"Huzi, this gentleman is a rock climbing expert. He doesn\'t need you to carry him across, just point out a path for him and he can climb over by himself."
Upon hearing this, Huzi became immediately excited, looking at Chen Yu with an almost worshipful gaze.
"I always thought that aside from our village\'s people, no one else could safely enter and exit that valley. It seems I\'ve been really ignorant. Big brother, quickly climb over so I can see how you get across those cliffs."
Chen Yu instantly caught on. It looked like Ergou wanted him to die on those cliffs.
"It\'s just a mere cliff. Getting across is very simple. I\'m afraid only an idiot like Ergou would need to be carried across by someone."
After a fierce insult, Chen Yu let go of Ergou and headed straight for the cliff.
"Dammit, are you sick? Didn\'t you see this kid was holding me hostage just now? Hurry up and take him down."
Ergou shouted in anger, even leaping up to slap Huzi\'s face.
Huzi felt wronged from the slap, "Brother Ergou, this guy was clearly brought by you. How would I know what he\'s up to? Plus, you just said he could climb across the cliff. The elders in our tribe say whoever can climb across that cliff is our friend."
Ergou was so mad he was half dead, "You\'re such a fucking idiot..."
Before he could finish, Ergou suddenly noticed that Chen Yu\'s body was already hanging on the cliff wall, with his movements incredibly agile, just like the monkeys in these mountains.
"Huzi, if I\'m not wrong, your brother Ergou once climbed this cliff by himself too, otherwise you two could have never become friends. How about we have a competition?"
Chen Yu\'s loud shout instantly got Huzi excited. He grabbed Ergou and started running forward.
"Brother Ergou, I\'ve been carrying you across these past few times. This time you try it, just like the first time you came to my group."
Ergou\'s eyes bulged. Before, in order to get across the cliff, he had set up some mechanisms above to trick Huzi.
But now there were no such contraptions on the cliff, and if he tried to climb, it would be a dead end.
"Huzi, listen to me, I\'m not feeling good today, haven\'t eaten yet, how could I possibly have the strength to climb the cliff? How about you still carry me across this time?"
But Huzi just laughed loudly, "Brother Ergou, it\'s good that you haven\'t eaten. The elders in the tribe say that if you\'ve eaten too much, you might not be able to make it across. I remember seeing several senior members starve for several days just to climb over this place!"
