Doctor Hu would pick herbs every morning. Usually, he did not go far. He would return at noon and teach Hu Xiaotong how to concoct herbs in the afternoon.
It was only morning, so it was normal for Dr. Hu not to return yet.
However, when Doctor Hu went out in the morning, a villager realized that Doctor Hu looked tired, as if he had not rested well.
The villagers were worried and went directly to the mountains.
Coincidentally, the villager encountered a snake halfway.
Usually, when the villagers saw a snake, they would either quickly scare it away or capture it and eat it.
However, ever since the snakes saved them, the villagers no longer liked to eat snakes. Usually, they would even greet the snakes.
When the snake saw that the villagers did not leave immediately, it wagged its tail at him and turned around to slither out slowly. Seeing that the villager did not follow, it repeated the above actions.
