She squatted down, carefully searching through a clump of weeds, and finally found a common wild grass that looked a bit like Dragon Beard Grass.
Just as she was stuffing the grass into her cloth bag, Cao Daqiang suddenly rushed out from behind and snatched it from her hand.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? You jerk, give that back!"
Shanshan screamed and lunged at him.
But she was too short and weak; she couldn't reach the hand Cao Daqiang held high above her.
"Heh heh, so this is the medicinal herb that's supposed to cure Yang Dapeng, is it?"
Cao Daqiang sneered, looking down to inspect the plant.
"You wretched girl. Instead of showing respect to your own father, you're giving this treasure to an outsider?"
He suddenly raised his hand to slap her, his palm whistling through the air as it aimed for Shanshan's cheek.
But Shanshan was already on her guard.
The moment his hand was halfway up, she deftly dodged to the right.
