Chapter 581 Sudden Change
"Yes, a wind is rising," she murmured, staring at the sky, her eyes deep and mysterious. The cold wind of the Alxa Grassland howled past her ears, causing her delicate frame to shiver slightly.
Yujia has only a few months to live! Lin Wanrong's mind grew heavy as he recalled the words of the Fairy. This young lady was a skilled healer; he wondered if she was aware of her own condition.
After some thought, feeling rather dispirited, Lin Wanrong sighed softly. "Miss Yujia, take care. Brother Gao, let's go."
Having said that, he didn't bother to check whether Yueya’er understood the deeper meaning behind his words. He stood up and walked down the slope, not looking back. Both men strode away hurriedly, their expressions resolute.
She has always been the one avoiding him since descending from the Tianshan Mountains. When has he ever avoided her? Yujia gazed silently at his retreating figure. The rising cold wind rustled through her loose robe.
Having left Yujia behind, Lin Wanrong didn't return to camp. Instead, he skirted the hillside, heading toward the boundless tobacco fields in the distance. The faint aroma of tobacco mingled with the earthy scent of soil greeted him. The lush green leaves seemed endless, stretching to the horizon. Gao Qiu, however, quickly covered his nose. "Brother Lin, what is this pungent tobacco for? It smells so weird! Why do you and Yujia treasure it so much?"
Plucking a leaf that resembled a banana leaf, Lin Wanrong took a deep sniff. The familiar scent was comforting and addictive. "You haven't tasted it, so of course you wouldn't appreciate its value." Lin Wanrong grinned, slapping the tobacco leaf lightly against his palm. "Once this tobacco matures and is cut into shreds, try a few puffs. I guarantee you'll grow fond of it, even knowing it's a poison. It has ensnared countless people."
"Poison?!" Gao Qiu leaped away from the tobacco, horrified. "Brother Lin, don't scare me like that. You can actually taste this poison? Isn't that harming our Great Hua people?"
