Chapter 0197: Leprosy Valley

Old Huang only spoke the Zhuang dialect and didn't speak Mandarin, so communicating with him was difficult. Ye Wudao had no choice but to use gestures along with Wu Tong's mediocre understanding of the Zhuang dialect to ask Old Huang where in the mountain there was an abundance of herbs.

After much gesturing and a clumsy interpretation by Wu Tong, Ye Wudao finally understood what Old Huang was saying. Old Huang had seen a lot of herbs in a place called Leprosy Valley, but it was very dangerous, as it was filled with miasma. Rarely did anyone dare to enter and gather herbs.

Ye Wudao wasn't one to fear danger. He told Old Huang that he wanted to go to Leprosy Valley to collect herbs. Initially, Old Huang shook his head and refused to take them there, saying that the place was too perilous, and even he wasn't confident about entering. However, Wu Tong immediately used money to pave the way, promising Old Huang triple the usual payment, and with gritted teeth, he agreed.
