Chasing Happiness
04.Salvaged

Xiao Han felt very happy to see the clear river flow in front of him, by following the current of this river he would be able to go home.

After thanking the herd of deer that were drinking, Xiao'Han walked home following the very calm flow of the river.

"Finally I can survive, if I follow the flow of this river I will make it back."Xiao Han muttered.

Xiao Han did like to talk to himself, because then he would not feel lonely.

Not far in front of Xiao Han looked at the bamboo grove, darting in his mind about the large hole in the hut.

Xiao Jan walked up to the bamboo grove in front, took a few more before continuing on.

While being coolly walking while hauling some bamboo on his shoulders, Xiao Han saw a plant that could emit a bluish light growing in front of him.

The plant grew on the edge of the forest in front of Xiao Han's path. Out of curiosity, Xiao Han walked over to the plant.

After Xiao Han approached it turned out that the plant was a young water ginseng root plant in the range of 3 to 5 years.

Old ginseng plants usually emit a blood red glow. This plant does thrive around the river, but its existence begins to step because it is always taken excessively.

Xiao Han's eyes widened looking at the ginseng that was emitting a blue light before him."By drinking this ginseng boiled water, my wounds will be able to heal quickly."

Miracle as well as luck seemed to be on Xiao'Han's side, his eyes widening to see hundreds of young aged water ginseng plants flourishing in front.

Xiao Han coolly picked up some young water ginseng, then stored the ginseng under his clothes.

"Bu-is not that !

Something that was most shocking to Xiao Han was when he saw one old age ginseng fruit growing in the middle of a young aged ginseng.

Old water ginseng looks beautiful with a reddish light blanket, but every good plant is usually guarded by spirit animals.

Xiao Han twisted his brain to take the ginseng, there was no way he could just leave the old ginseng in the middle of a forest like this, it was possible that the ginseng would be eaten by other types of spirit beasts.

"Before taking the ginseng I must first know what kind of spirit animal is guarding it."Xiao'Han muttered in his heart.

Xiao Han equipped the defense by making a pointed bamboo.

he also walked around trying to get closer to the old age ginseng is targeted.

When it was quite close Xiao Han could see if the spirit animal guarding the ginseng was a fairly large hedgehog.

It was unknown what type of hedgehog it was, it was just that Xiao Han wished that he was not the poison type.

The hedgehog also appeared to be sleeping around the ginseng Xiao Han was aiming for, slowly Xiao Han walked over to the ginseng guarded by a sleeping hedgehog.

With great care Xiao Han managed to get in front of the ginseng without having to wake the hedgehog. Slowly but surely, Xiao Han dug the ground around the red plant so as not to damage the ginseng underneath.

A satisfied smile was engraved clearly on Xiao Han's face as he managed to pull out the plant perfectly, ill-fated a few chunks of land hit the face of the hedgehog that made him wake up.

The gaze of Xiao Han's eyes unintentionally saw the hedgehog under his feet, the hedgehog seemed to be awakening.

After successfully carrying all his belongings Xiao Han instantly frowned from that place, but the hedgehog behind shot something that managed to stick at Xiao Han's feet until it made him fall.

Xiao Han fell down while groaning in pain, he looked back. It turned out that the hedgehog did not want to give up, even though Xiao Han was already on the edge of the hedgehog river was still trying to keep chasing.

The pain caused by the porcupine spines that stuck in the calf made Xiao Han unable to stand.

Xiao Han painstakingly pulled out the hedgehog's thorn then rushed to his feet and dashed quickly avoiding the urchin's pursuit behind him.

As he saw Xiao Han running further and further away not making the hedgehog give up, he rained down on Xiao Han with hundreds of poisonous thorns.

Several thorns managed to hit Xiao Han's body. Xiao Han could feel a burning sensation in the part affected by the hedgehog attack.

"Ra-Poisons ?"

Xiao Han said before he fell from the hedgehog poison. With the circumstances exposed Xiao Han's gaze became very faded, even so at least he managed to run as far as possible from the pursuit of the hedgehog.

Xiao Han's severely injured body was unable to withstand the hedgehog's poison, and he collapsed on the river bank alone.

In the morning Xiao Han woke up and found himself leaning under a tree, looking ahead and feeling familiar with where he was.

"It...The river behind my house, why am I here ? Obviously last night I wasn't here."Xiao Han muttered.

Xiao Han took off his shirt slightly to look at the wound there, but it turned out that the wound on his stomach had already disappeared without leaving a trace.

Not only that, the entire pain that Xiao Han felt last night had already disappeared completely.

Xiao Han was sure that there was no way that his injuries could simply disappear, there must be a cause for the strange things he felt.

"Do I have the power to heal wounds and be free from death ?"Inner Xiao Han while clenching.

"You're conscious ?!"A little girl said as she walked over to Xiao Han.

The soft voice of the little girl earlier made Xiao Han surprised.

Xiao Han knew that the girl was the one he saved, but why was she here.

Afraid that the villagers would get angry because he met one of their children, Xiao Han hurriedly stood up. Xiao Han was shocked to find no old-age water ginseng that he had obtained last night anywhere.

Aware Xiao Han was looking for something, the little girl in a pink dress a few meters away in front of Xiao Han raised a hand that grasped the old age ginseng stem belonging to Xiao Han.

The girl smiled funny."Are you looking for this ?"

Xiao Han's eyes widened, he knew that the ginseng must be his. But he did not dare to snatch the ginseng from the hands of the little girl in front, for fear of being subjected to the anger of the villagers.

"Don't get me wrong, I used one of these ginseng leaves as medicine. That's why all your wounds have disappeared."

The girl smiled amiably but did not make Xiao Han dare to approach her to pick up the water ginseng.
