"Sorry, I got up a little late today." Su Miaomiao apologized.

"It's not late, it's just that I couldn't sleep and got up early. You come in first and I'll introduce you to the situation in the pharmacy." Old Man Zhao led Su Miaomiao into the house.

Old man Zhao had been to the battlefield. When he returned home after his death, he found that his parents had already died and his newlywed wife had committed suicide by jumping into the river because of persecution by the enemy.

After returning home, Old Man Zhao was already nearly fifty years old, and he lived like this for a while.

Fortunately, his years of fighting experience allowed him to recognize some words, and he began to study Chinese medicine on his own. After all these years, he has made some progress.

Later, Wang Hongjie asked him to convert his home into a pharmacy, responsible for treating villagers in the village and recording full marks every day.

It's just called a pharmacy, but actually it's just a shabby house.

All the herbs drying on the winnowing basket in the yard were collected by Old Man Zhao from the mountains.

Su Miaomiao took a look and found that these herbs were very common medicinal materials, and their appearance was not very good.

"These herbs were all collected by me, but I'm getting old and can't climb many mountains. I can only find some usable ones at the foot of the mountain." Old Man Zhao noticed Su Miaomiao's expression and explained.

"How much medicine is left in the pharmacy now?" Su Miaomiao asked.

"These are all in front of you. Due to the drought this year, there are fewer medicinal herbs in the mountains." Old Man Zhao sighed.

Su Miaomiao frowned as she looked at the less than three baskets of medicinal herbs in front of her.

This amount is not even enough for three doses of medicine.

"Grandpa Zhao, there are too few medicinal herbs in the pharmacy. Even if we can see the patient's symptoms, we can't afford the medicine. Let me go to the mountain to have a look." Su Miaomiao said.

"I had the same idea, but the road on the mountain is rugged. You have to be careful when going up the mountain alone. Also, don't go too far inside, for fear of wild beasts." Old Man Zhao warned.

"I know." Su Miaomiao nodded.

She carried the backpack given to her by Old Man Zhao and went to the back mountain.

The mountains are actually very empty. There was no gas or natural gas in that era, and the villagers couldn't afford coal briquettes. They had to rely on wood to boil water and cook.

So the mountain was cleared and empty, the road was better, but no medicinal herbs could be found.

Su Miaomiao had no choice but to go back into the mountains.

There are a lot of thorns inside, making it difficult to get through, but it also makes it easier to find some good stuff.

Su Miaomiao searched along the way and finally put some goods in her backpack.

However, Su Miaomiao, who was so immersed in digging herbs, didn't notice that she was sinking deeper and deeper.

By the time she got tired of digging and looked up, the towering trees had blocked out the sky.

Su Miaomiao frowned, remembering what Old Man Zhao said about there might be wild beasts in the forest. Looking at the backpack that was only seven-tenths full, she decided not to go in and turned around to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a noise coming from behind.

Su Miaomiao turned back suddenly, and a murderous look flashed across her eyes.

Could it be that she really encountered a wild beast?

Su Miaomiao clenched the sickle in her hand and stepped forward quietly. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Su Miaomiao was very sensitive to the taste of blood, and her eyes couldn't help but brighten.

If we could catch a big one, we could go back and have another meal in the evening.

Su Miaomiao took faster steps, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rolled down the mountain.

Su Miaomiao kicked the thing out directly.

Hmm…

A muffled groan was heard.

The expression on Su Miaomiao's face froze.

This voice doesn't sound like that of a wild beast. Why does it sound so much like that of a...human?
