After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 288 The Ancient Town of Medicinal Herbs

Ergou's screams suddenly spread throughout the entire cliff, eventually even turning into pleas for help.

Dahu ignored everything and leapt onto the tooth wall, casually placing Ergou on a solitary rock before heading straight over to Chen Yu.

It didn't take long before Dahu and Chen Yu reached the opposite side of the cliff.

But Ergou remained standing there, utterly alone, afraid even to make a move.

"Dahu, co and save quickly! Otherwise, I'm really going to fall down."

Dahu was taken aback, "Ergou, what's wrong with you? You used to jump over so easily, how co now you don't dare to move?"

Chen Yu scoffed coldly, then found a rock nearby and sat down.

"If I'm not mistaken, he must've rigged so kind of device on himself when he ca with you before, or there's no way he could've crossed so easily."

Dahu's eyes widened in surprise, "What do you an?"

Chen Yu pointed at Ergou, "Look at him, he doesn't have a muscle on his body, his form is thin and small like that, with no sense of balance whatsoever. How could he possibly have jumped across this cliff?"

Dahu's expression instantly stiffened, and he seed sowhat dazed.

"Ergou, is that true? Did you have a device on you when you jumped over before?"

By this point, Ergou didn't dare to hide anything anymore.

"Before, when I jumped in front of you, it was to sneak into your village to get so dicinal herbs. Now I realize my mistake, please just take back. I don't want to die here."

Dahu's breathing beca rapid, "So you're saying, you never considered a brother!"

Ergou didn't speak; he didn't know what to say. From the very beginning, he was just using Dahu; they weren't even friends, let alone brothers.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly and stepped forward to pat Dahu's shoulder.

"Soone like him, who only cares about himself, how could he possibly consider you a brother?"

Dahu might not look very clever, but he had a pure nature, treating everyone with his whole heart, which was exactly why he was so easily deceived by Ergou.

Chen Yu didn't say much more, just took a vine from the side and threw it into the middle of the cliff.

"Ergou, you can climb back using this vine. Good luck."

Ergou grabbed the vine like a lifeline and moved towards the side of the cliff.

Dahu sat in place, heartbroken for a while, then picked up his stick and turned to walk towards the village; Chen Yu was not about to let such an opportunity slip by and quickly followed.

Before long, the two n arrived at a mountain stream, one after the other.

Although the place didn't seem to be anything special at first glance, a closer look revealed an extrely prosperous village hidden among the mountains and ridges.

All sorts of retro-style buildings could be seen here, including even the legendary cylindrical drum towers.

When Chen Yu saw all this, he was instantly thrilled to the extre.

He had long heard that deep within the southern clouds there lay a secluded tribe that subsisted solely on gathering herbs, isolated from the rest of the world to this day.

At first, he was a bit skeptical, as it was hard to believe that in modern society, there could be a tribe hidden from civilization, especially when even those in the mountains were recorded.

"Our ancestors were a branch of the ancient Li tribe, who later relocated here to avoid the turmoils of war. Since then, we have rarely had any contact with the outside world,"

Dahu was still enthusiastic as he gave an introduction, then he pulled Chen Yu towards the village.

There was an ancient rule in their tribe that had not changed for a thousand years: anyone who could climb the cliff outside the village would be regarded as an honored guest of their community.

Previously, Ergou had used so tricks to climb up, but now Chen Yu had truly climbed the cliff on his own rit, so naturally, Dahu was going to treat him as an esteed guest.

Chen Yu did not say much, but simply followed behind Dahu.

Yet just as they arrived at the village, a group of n ard with forks and herb-gathering tools stood at the entrance of the village in a vigilant manner.

Seeing this, Dahu suddenly felt a surge of guilt. He threw the stick he was holding aside and knelt at the entrance of the village.

"Everyone, I was wrong to bring troublemakers into our village before, but now I know my mistake. He could never have climbed that cliff."

Seeing how earnest Dahu was, the other villagers didn't say much. An elderly man with a faltering step ca up to Dahu and gently patted his shoulder.

"That's alright, child. You are naive and were deceived. We don't bla you, but from now on, don't bring any more riffraff into our village."

While soone was speaking, they fixed Chen Yu with an unkind stare.

Dahu quickly stood up, "Elder Chieftain, this man is different from the previous one. He truly can climb that cliff; I witnessed it with my own eyes."

The Elder Chieftain snorted coldly, showing no good grace towards Chen Yu.

The reason they had gathered there today was to guard against Ergou, and they did not expect Chen Yu to show up.

"There aren't many in this world who can climb that cliff, and for thousands of years, only the trickster Ergou has used devious ans to enter our village! You, young man, don't seem very trustworthy either, how did you get in?"

Chen Yu was suddenly a bit frustrated. How had he beco untrustworthy?

"Elder, I am here only to procure so dicinal herbs. eting Dahu was a complete accident, and that Ergou tried to trick and have fall down the cliff to my death..."

"Don't bother telling these things!" the Elder Chieftain interrupted Chen Yu bluntly: "We knew by Ergou's third visit that he was a swindler, but because Dahu always treated him as a friend, we didn't expose him prematurely. But we won't let such an incident happen a second ti."

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "If the Elder Chieftain doesn't believe my words, you can verify them. I can go to the cliff outside right now, climb up and down a few tis, and let you witness it yourself if you wish!"

"It's not about climbing cliffs!" the Elder Chieftain rolled his eyes: "Since you claim to be here for the herbs, you must know sothing about them, right? I happen to have a few herbs here. Could you please identify them for ?"

Saying this, the Elder Chieftain waved his hand to the tribespeople behind him, after which several young girls ca forward holding trays.

On their trays were placed a dozen or so dicinal herbs of various shapes.
