Chapter 6 : first long trip

After deciding that he must go to the city to sell Hundred-Year Herbs I picked up the seven hundred year old herbs and arranged them for consideration.

In fact, these herbs If not counting the water snake plant that is considered a fairly rare herb. The rest are herbs or plants that are common in the forest that is not very deep.

But the one I have is very special, it's a hundred years old. Usually these herbs are easy to find. It is very difficult to survive the hands of a forest hunter until old age like this. If it doesn't go up in a secret place or a place that people can't reach.

If you think about it In order to sell this to the least amount of news, it would have to be ear mushrooms. It was an easy-to-find medicinal mushroom. Even though the year is a lot, it has the opportunity to grow in the thick cliffs or secret places that people can't reach. There's still a reason for me to explain The rest of the mushrooms were kept first. when I can find a way that's sure to be really safe. Then take it out and sell it.

In addition to finding out how to sell herbs safely. The most important thing is to survive along the way. To be honest, if something happened, I wouldn't be able to fight anyone at all. except that the other party was a group of three-year-old child thieves.

Now that I could use it for self defense on this journey, it would probably be this dagger. But there was no other choice. I'm absolutely sure if I go back into the woods to find something to sell with the group that Ms. Roger is in. I definitely won't be coming home again. And now I can think of another way to make enough money that I can use.

"It's a risk, but I think it's the least risky I can think of right now."

water snake herb This is a very good antidote as far as I can remember. The older it gets, the stronger the antidote is. But we don't need to take the whole plant for a long time. Just deducting a portion is enough. because with its age, the medicine is good Able to eat and use anti-toxic directly.

Even if it didn't have a medicinal power comparable to the one that was boiled and mixed into a specific medicine, it would probably be enough to resist the normal poison. Of course, poisonous snakes Or all the poisonous insects in this area, if I accidentally get bitten by them, this would be of great help.

And something that cannot be forgotten is This weird bracelet I don't even know how it works or has any special powers. But I'm sure it keeps me warm even on a cold night. Even diving into the cold water in the middle of the cold night Back to the surface, I still feel very warm and comfortable.

No matter how you look at it, it's definitely not just an ordinary bracelet to decorate your body. And for this trip, I think I will have to leave at night. The cold weather made it very difficult for a 14-year-old boy like me to travel long distances without shelter. Otherwise, it might freeze to death in the middle of the road. but with bracelets I will be able to travel at night.

I decided that traveling at night would be best. If I leave during normal daytime In any case, someone in this area would definitely see me leaving.

Even though the people's houses are far apart Some houses are miles apart. But there was only one path to the village. To go the other way, you have to walk around and wade through the overgrown forest. In addition that way will increased danger I still don't know the way. Getting lost in the forest again wouldn't be the best.

There are no clocks in this house and I am not sure if this world has a clock like my previous world. because in my memory I have never seen it.My parents would always teach me to look at the sun and the moon to tell the time. From what I'm looking at right now, it's almost noon. I still have a few hours before the trip.

Even though I slept a lot last night But his body still felt exhaustion. I'll have everything ready. and then lie down for a while Then prepare to leave. It wouldn't be easy for my first long journey. I should rest as much as I can before I go.

***

I opened my eyes and felt a slight refresh in my body. I walked out of the bedroom and opened the window and saw that the sun was setting. Because the houses in this neighborhood are very far apart. There are not many people who live in this area. And most importantly, it's close to the deep forest area.

Even though there is still light from the sunset But usually the villagers in this area will not stay away from their homes during this period. Because the dangers of wild animals are always present for them.

I had everything ready before taking a strong nap. Food, although not much But I think it's enough to give me the strength to get to the city. More important is water. Fortunately, this area is not far from the water source. In my house, there is quite a bit of water stored in the water bowl.

I have a leather water bag, it should be enough for travel. Even if it out in the middle of the way? This area is a forest with sporadic water sources. Might be able to find more if really needed.

"Everything is ready. Just wait another hour. When the sun starts to fade I think it's time for my departure."

***

The night finally came after the sun had set. The time I've been waiting for has arrived No matter how scared or worried I was, it was useless. It's the only way of survival that I have to risk.

It was strange that this forest had many animal sounds at night. But when I listened to it, I felt that it was silence. Maybe it's because of the habituation of this body. And I feel like there shouldn't be any villagers around here that are still outside their homes. But just to be sure, I tried to stand on the edge of the window, trying to use the corners of my eyes to look around.

The distrust of Mr. Roger also made me feel that I should be as careful as possible. If he knew that I was leaving alone in the middle of the night like this I'm sure he's going to do something with me.

After trying to look around the area outside for a while. I'm sure there's no one around here. With my eyes that can see very well in the dark for some unknown reasons. I believe that my ability to see in the dark right now is not inferior to nocturnal creatures.

"There's nothing to hesitate, let's go."

Although this area for others would be considered a forest area. But for a group of forest hunters, it was a living area that didn't have any difficulty in traveling. path that are regularly used, even if they are not clearly traversing roads. But for people around here, it's a clear path.

In addition to the sounds of insects and wild animals that could be heard in the distance from deep in the forest. It didn't have any other sound around here.

The sound of my footsteps was loud and clear. walk forward I'm not trying to increase my walking speed. Because from this area to the village, the distance is only 4 kilometers.in my memory I've been to the village many times. both with father and with mother never had any accidents along the way.

What is very strange is There might be wild animals wandering around here all the time. But this area has never heard of robbers. The only reason might be because the forest hunters were so poor around here. Even thieves didn't want to waste time trying to rob.

before I knew it Looks like I've walked out of my neighborhood. with a much better eyesight in the dark I didn't feel any difficulty in traveling. The strength of the body was better than the night before escaping from the forest. It makes the journey feel like it's going to go smoothly.

"rustle rustle!!"

The moment I was thinking in my head I heard the sound of the bushes rustling violently. I immediately felt goosebumps all over my body. I hurriedly pulled out the dagger that I was carrying. Prepare to fight along with try to think which way would be the best way to escape

It was about a hundred meters further from where I stood. I saw something coming out of the wilderness along the path. It's a big boar. It walked out of the bushes and looked around.
