Fall in Love with A Soldier novel Chapter 13

Martin took out a small medicine box from under the cashier desk to Elizabeth and said to her, “There are snakes in the mountain, be careful.”

“Well, I see. Then I’ll go up to the mountain to get the medicine!” Elizabeth took the medicine box in her father’s hand and put it in the bamboo basket behind her. Then she went to the back door, stepped on the field path and went to the opposite mountain.

She helped her mother to go up to the mountain to collect herbs every day during this period she stayed at home. When one mountain was finished, she went to the next, and each mountain was deeper than the last.

Maisie always compared her with Snow or Winnie.

In a word, other people’s daughter was the best, and Elizabeth was not as good as other people’s daughter.

Maisie wanted Anthony Lawrence her brother to learn medicine to her grandmother, but he was not interested in Traditional Chinese medicine and did not want to spend his whole life in this remote and poor village.

Elizabeth had been collecting herbs in the mountains with her grandmother since she was a child, and she was very interested in Traditional Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, she failed to get admitted to a medical university, and Maisie refused to pay for her to study again. Therefore, she had to make do with life in this way.

The mountain was not bustling and noisy like a city, but it had the prosperity of nature.

Elizabeth squatted under a tree, collecting herbs in the withered branches and green grass, while listening to the singing of insects and birds.

Today she was lucky that she picked lucid ganoderma and ginseng. Unconsciously, she had entered the deep mountain with towering trees and streams. Although it was summer, it was warm as spring.

When Elizabetht picked a pinellia grass, she lifted eyes inadvertently and found a few beautiful deep purple flowers in the bush. From a distance they looked like pretty corn poppy.

It was natural for girls to love flowers. Since the flower was beautiful, she wanted to took it back and plant it.

When Elizabeth went over to have a look at them, she shocked.

This was not a corn poppy, but...poppy!

Poppies were an alien species. They were naturally absent in the village.

Why, then, were there poppies in the mountains?

Elizabeth thought for a while and pulled out the poppies, put them into the bamboo basket behind and covered them with other herbs.

Following the shapeless winding mountain road, Elizabeth continued to walk until she reached the top of the mountain, where she stood on a big rock and looked into the distance.

The clouds were around the mountains, and it is as beautiful as arcadia.

Elizabeth looked down from the distance. At the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, there was a large field of red, pink, orange, yellow and purple flowers.

Obviously, that vast field of flowers did not grow naturally.

Those flowers...were poppies?!

Who on earth was hiding in these mountains and wild forests to grow poppies?

Elizabeth suddenly understood, turned and ran.

The speed went down from the mountain was faster. When she was halfway down the mountain, she heard a scream.

It was a man’s voice.

Elizabeth, frowning, subconsciously hid in a pile of bushes.
