Xiao Mi caught the treat in his mouth and began munching . Then he noticed the arrow on Mingyue's shoulder . The cat climbed up and patted softly towards the arrow with his paw .

"I won't die from this," Mingyue said . "I'll get it treated after we get out of this place . " Mingyue peeked from behind the tree and saw two people heading towards her direction with a torch in their hand . She grimaced . "They're very persistent . "

Xiao Mi made a meowing sound . He rubbed his head on Mingyue's cheek and purred .

"We wouldn't have to steal them if they just let us pay for it," Mingyue sighed . "It's not like I'm going to take them all . I just need a handful if it . "

"At least they are now separated from the others . " Mingyue peeked at the two men again . Then, she crouched down to gather some pebbles .

Mingyue hid her body behind the tree and flicked a pebble in her hand . Once the two men got closer, she flicked her fingers, and the stone struck one of the men in the back of his head .

The man dropped down on the ground like a massive log along with the torch in his hand . Soon, the fire hit the dried leaf on the ground . A small patch of leaves was on fire and slowly spread towards the man who was lying on the ground, unconsciously .

Seeing the scene, the man's partner quickly ran away from the scene, screaming for help .

Mingyue cursed inwardly seeing that the man's friend had escaped, leaving his friend near the fire . "Oh no," Mingyue's face paled as she watched the fire getting bigger . She came out from her hiding spot and tried to put out the fire around the unconscious man using her cape .

Xiao Mi looked at her and meowed .

She glanced at Xiao Mi and saw the cat looking at her accusingly . "It was an accident!"

Seeing that it was not an easy task to put out the fire, Mingyue lifted the man by his armpit and dragged him away from the scene . Right now, she wanted to cry but had no tears . If only her third brother were around, it wouldn't be hard to drag this man away .

She gritted her teeth as the pain on her shoulder intensify .

Mingyue placed her fingers at a spot on the man's neck . She heaved in relief knowing that he's alive . Then she started to pull him farther away from the fire . Sweat began to form on her forehead, and the pain on her shoulder intensified as she dragged that man .

She has to bring him to a safer place at least . She can't let him burn to death .

She only came to steal some of their precious herbs . She did not want to kill anyone accidentally!
