Chapter 15 Finding Herbs

Tangli went to see Doctor Su.

Doctor Su is the only doctor in several villages. Unlike ordinary barefoot doctors, Doctor Su has superb medical skills.

It is said that Doctor Su was originally the chief physician of the largest medical clinic in Shangjing. Later, for some unknown reason, he killed someone and was driven out of Shangjing. No medical clinic dared to accept him, so he had no choice but to live in this small mountain village.

Tang Li knocked on Doctor Su's door.

Doctor Su was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He wore a patched coarse linen shirt. The clothes were washed white, but very clean.

"Doctor Su, can you take me with you when you go to collect herbs?" Tang Li asked directly.

Doctor Su was surprised. "You're not planning on going up the mountain to look for silver bell grass, are you? Although this area is suitable for silver bell grass to grow, if it existed it would have been picked long ago, so don't bother."

"Let's try it, just in case." Tang Li said.

She looks delicate, but she is quite stubborn.

When Dr. Su looked at her, he thought of himself. For the person he loved, he had to try no matter how slim the hope was.

Doctor Su agreed to her request.

Doctor Su was going to carry the medicine basket, and Tang Li hurriedly carried it before him.

She was asking Dr. Su for help, so of course she had to be diligent.

Just as the two were about to go out, a woman ran out from the door. The woman was coughing as she walked and looked very weak.

Due to years of old illness, her face turned yellow and she was very thin, as if she would be blown away by the wind.

"The wind is so strong, why did you run out?" Doctor Su frowned.

"Take these steamed buns with you and eat them when you're hungry." She stuffed two steamed buns into Doctor Su's arms.

"Okay, stay at home and don't go out." Doctor Su said with a hint of worry in his eyes.

She smiled at Tangli and walked in. She was suffering from tuberculosis, and everyone in the village was afraid of her, so she didn't dare to get too close to Tangli.

Doctor Su and Tang Li walked into the mountains together.

On the way, Doctor Su described the appearance of silver bell grass to Tangli.

The leaves are palm-sized and bell-shaped, usually with four to five petals. The rhizome is as thick as a little finger and about as high as a person's knee.

Tangli memorized the appearance of the silver bell grass and searched everywhere. Koi fish always had good luck, and she was the luckiest koi fish in the family. Tangli was very confident that she would find the silver bell grass; it was only a matter of time.

Doctor Su let her go, and when she couldn't find it, she would give up.

He had nearly turned the mountain upside down, yet he had never even seen the shadow of a silver bell grass. The only time he had seen this medicinal herb was in Shangjing, where the only silver bell grass in Huichun Hall was used to treat the empress dowager's illness. It was obvious how precious it was!

"There are snakes in the mountains. Be careful and don't stay too far away from me." Doctor Su instructed.

Tangli agreed and walked around.

Time passed as Doctor Su collected herbs.

Suddenly, he heard a cry. Doctor Su raised his head and saw Tang Li running towards him hurriedly.

"Doctor Su, come quickly!" Tang Li's voice was full of excitement.

Doctor Su thought, "Why are you so anxious? Did you find the silver bell grass? Impossible!"

But he still stood up, picked up the medicine basket, and followed her. The two of them walked through the mountains and forests and came to a stream.

Tang Li pointed to the bottom of a huge rock beside the stream and said, "Doctor Su, look!"

Doctor Su looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes widened, his mouth became O-shaped, and he was shocked to the extreme.

Bell-like leaves, reddish...

Three silver bells growing side by side!

Doctor Su suspected that he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes.

That’s right! It’s silver bell grass!

He had been collecting herbs on this mountain for four or five years and had never seen any silver bell grass, yet this girl had encountered one on her first day. What kind of luck was this?!

Doctor Su dug out the three silver bells with almost trembling hands and put them in his backpack.

Compared to the silver bell grass, the other herbs he picked looked like weeds.

Doctor Su handed the backpack to Tangli: "You carry it."

The two of them went down the mountain. Along the way, Doctor Su had already told her how to handle the medicine and repeated it several times, fearing that she would handle it improperly and waste such a good medicinal material.

Doctor Su looked at the medicine in the backpack with a conflicted expression, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

His wife had been ill for a long time, coughing every night, and hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past three or four years. If the leaves of silver bell grass were used as medicine, it might be able to cure her. Even if it couldn't cure her, it could relieve her symptoms and help her sleep better.

But he really couldn't bring himself to say such a precious medicinal ingredient.

"This medicine is extremely precious. Girl, you must not let anyone know that you have such a good thing, okay?" Doctor Su instructed.

"Doctor Su, why don't you help me deal with it?" Tang Li said.

"This... is such a valuable thing, aren't you afraid that I will be greedy?" Doctor Su couldn't help but say.

"Doctor Su, I believe in your character."

She is a thousand-year-old fairy, and her eyesight towards people is still there!

"Besides, we both picked this silver bell grass, so I can't keep it all to myself. The leaves will be yours when the time comes, just perfect for treating your wife's illness!"

Doctor Su was completely stunned.

"This...this...I didn't use much strength..." Doctor Su stuttered.

Tang Li took down the backpack and handed it to Doctor Su: "Thank you for your help. I'll get the medicine after I'm done."

When Tang Li returned home, he found Wei Qing sitting in the yard with his injured leg resting on a chair, weaving a bamboo basket.

The man had a big, strong body. In this September day, he was wearing a coarse cloth gown with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong arms, and he was working like that.

His palms were large and had rough calluses on them, but he was very flexible and could braid with ease.

There was a woven bamboo basket at his feet, which looked particularly sturdy.

"Wei Qing, I'm back from collecting herbs!" Tang Li said happily.

Wei Qing turned to look at her.

The little woman's face was covered in mud, but she couldn't suppress her smile. She held it back, wanting him to guess, wanting to show off.

That little thing is so cute.

Wei Qing really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her.

Tangli suddenly came closer: "I found the silver bell grass!"

Found the silver bells?!

Wei Qing felt indescribable joy in his heart. Seeing others happy, the news also made him happy.

Wei Qing directly hooked her head and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and pecked her on the lips.

Tang Li was stunned for a moment.

She was actually kissed!

Her first kiss was taken away by the villain!

Tang Li poked Wei Qing with his finger, poking his hard chest: "Rogue!"

But her voice was so sweet, she didn't sound angry, but rather like she was acting coquettishly!

Wei Qing smiled brightly: "Don't worry, wait until my leg is healed, then we can consummate our marriage."

Tangli: ???

Consummate...consummate the marriage?

Who is anxious?

Tang Li really wanted to knock open his head and see what yellow waste was inside!
