Chapter 280 What Old Man Liu Gave

Ning Xiyue waved her hand nonchalantly.

"No hurry. If you see herbs in the mountains in the future, you can pick some to pay for my medicine."

After hearing about the old man's condition, Ning Xiyue never thought of collecting money from him for the medicine. It was not easy for him, so she just did a good deed that day and accumulated merit.

He put on his medicine box and stood up, looking at Old Liu and gave him some advice: "Don't be too upset, don't get too excited, don't think too much, eat on time, don't watch the chickens today, go back and rest, come back when you feel better."

"That's great, Dr. Ning. You can take him back on the way. Old Liu lives behind here, in the same direction as the cowshed." Captain Huang said as he supported the man.

"Okay, Captain Huang, let's go. I'm afraid our team's captain has been waiting for a long time." Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement.

She was in a hurry to return to the reed marsh as she had stayed here for too long.

Walking out of the place where the chicks were hatched, Captain Huang supported the old man and took Ning Xiyue to the cowshed not far behind.

After seeing the place, Captain Huang sent the old man home, and Ning Xiyue walked to the cowshed by herself. When she got there, Ning Xiyue found that the captain had not finished yet.

It's the critical moment, time to settle the bill and pay the money.

The captain took out a stack of money with a painful heart and gave it to the other party's accountant. After the accountant received the money and confirmed the amount and entered it into the team's account book, the cowherd next to him untied the rope of the spirited calf that the captain had taken a fancy to and handed it to him.

When the captain got the rope, his face immediately became happy. There was no trace of pain on his face. He patted the calf's back with satisfaction, took a whip, and waved excitedly at Ning Xiyue while leading the calf.

"Yue girl, let's go back."

"Moo—"

The calf followed suit and cried out.

Ning Xiyue waited for the captain to come over, took the whip from the captain's hand, walked behind the calf, and drove the cattle together.

Ning Xiyue had just taken a few steps when someone called her.

It was Old Liu and Captain Huang who called her.

Old Liu came over, pulled Ning Xiyue aside, took out something wrapped in a blue cloth from his pocket and stuffed it into Ning Xiyue's hand, motioning her to open it and take a look.

Ning Xiyue felt the hard touch on her hand, looked up at Old Liu, and opened the thing he handed to her with confusion.

When the cloth was lifted, a patella and a long, barbed object were revealed.

Barb? Doesn't this look a lot like the dried penis of a certain feline?

Ning Xiyue took the two things in her hands and examined them carefully. The pictures that she had seen in the Chinese herbal medicine atlas appeared in her mind, and a flash of surprise appeared in Ning Xiyue's eyes.

He looked up at Old Man Liu and confirmed, "Could this bone be a tiger bone, and the other one be a tiger penis?"

Tiger bone is an effective medicine for treating rheumatism, epilepsy, strengthening tendons and bones, etc.

Tiger penis is also very effective in dispersing lumps, removing dampness, and strengthening yang.

Both are good things.

"Doctor Ning is a connoisseur. This is the kneecap and penis of a tiger. I found them by chance on Mount Daqi before. I was almost eaten by the beast, but luckily I managed to escape and kill it."

Old Liu pointed at the things in the cloth strip and said with a smile:

"I heard that the stuff on this big insect can cure diseases, so I have been keeping it. I have someone prepare it and preserve it. It should still be useful. This thing will just gather dust here. It is useless. Today, I will give it to you as a reward for saving my life today."

He thanked her sincerely again, "If you hadn't saved me today, I don't know what would happen to my grandson after I died. Thank you, Doctor Ning. I apologize for offending you before. I hope you can forgive me and not hold it against me."

"Okay, I'll take what you give me, and I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you something in exchange."

Ning Xiyue took a look at the bones and tiger penis and found that they were well preserved and the medicinal effects were not damaged, so they had very high medicinal value.

She was delighted to see these rare medicinal herbs and was of course happy to accept them. Such things were hard to come by, and since they were delivered to her, there was no reason to let them go.

Ning Xiyue took out the big bamboo jar of black sesame pills from her bag and handed it to Old Man Liu, saying to him:

"Here, take this. My black sesame pill can actually replenish qi and blood, and has many benefits. You and your grandson can take one pill every day to nourish your body."

He then took out the blood pressure medicine and poured him half a bottle, instructing him:

"This blood pressure medicine is for your protection. If you feel dizzy or nauseous in the future, take one pill. But just like today, take it after meals. Take no more than three pills a day. Stop taking it when you feel refreshed."

"Thank you, Dr. Ning. Thank you." Old man Liu took the medicine and sesame pills in his hands and thanked repeatedly.

"You're welcome. This is a normal exchange between us. Go back and sit down and have a rest. I have to go back to the Daliu team too. Our captain is waiting for me up ahead."

Ning Xiyue put the things in her hand into the medicine box, waved goodbye to Old Man Liu and Captain Huang who was standing not far away.

He trotted forward with the whip, walked behind the calf, waved the whip, and shouted to the captain in front:

"Captain, we're done, let's go."

"Okay, back to the team."

Zhang Dawei led the cow with one hand and held a bundle of straw with the other, humming a little song, in high spirits, and strode back to the team.

I gained a lot of face today and saved some money. There is no better mood than this.

Ning Xiyue carried two good medicines in her arms and a little chicken on her back. She was in a good mood and whipped the horse happily as she hurried on her way. There were other interesting things waiting for her at the Youth League Institute.
