"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen," the doctor bowed after coming in.

"Get up first, no need to be polite." Yuan Xichen waved his hand, his face pale.

After the doctor got up, he immediately took out some disinfectant, cleaned the wound first, and then sprinkled it with the best medicine.

He then carefully bandaged the wound with gauze and took Yuan Xichen's pulse, discovering that his internal injuries were somewhat serious.

He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down again. His action also scared a young girl wearing a pearl hairpin on her head next to him.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, His Highness Prince Chen?" the young girl anxiously asked the doctor kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, after taking your pulse just now, I found that you have serious internal injuries. You really need to be cured. You need a 500-year-old ginseng. I'm afraid I can't do anything," the doctor replied nervously.

"Master, don't worry. I will go find a doctor for you right away. No matter how much it costs, I will buy the ginseng. I will definitely cure your internal injuries." Chen Yi asked someone to take the doctor away, and arranged for the young woman to go find another doctor. Then he knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together and said to Yuan Xichen.

"Five hundred year old ginseng may be hard to find. You should take a rest and heal your wound first. We'll send a few more people to the surrounding mountains to see if we can find any ginseng." Yuan Xichen's pale face looked much better after his wound was bandaged.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Yi said and retreated. Yuan Xichen also took off the jade crown on his head and lay down to rest.

At one o'clock in the morning, in Shuihe Village.

"Qingshu, Qingshu, are you up yet?" Before Yu Qingqing got up, she heard a knock on the door.

"Come on, who's looking for me?" Yu Qingshu also heard the voice and came out to open the door.

When he saw that it was the village chief knocking on the door, he was suddenly a little ecstatic. The village chief never came to see him normally, so he was quite happy to be seen by the village chief personally.

"Village chief, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Yu Qingshu quickly came back to his senses and asked happily.

"It's like this, Qinghe! Yesterday, all the hunters in the village came to me, wanting your help. Didn't you kill a wild boar last time? Life is getting harder and harder, and we're going to flee soon.

So I'd like to ask you to take the hunters from the village and go into Qinglv Mountain again to see if we can find anything. I know this request isn't very nice, but I still wanted to ask you if you could help me out."

After Village Chief He Qiang finished speaking, his face turned red. It was so embarrassing. Why would others be willing to help him?

"Village chief, are you talking about asking my father to take people hunting?" Before Yu Qingshu could answer, Yu Qingqing came out and asked Village Chief He Qiang.

"But it's very dangerous in the deep mountains. If my father takes people in, and something happens to someone, won't they all look for my father?" Yu Qingqing continued to ask.

"Yes, Village Chief, I'm just an ordinary hunter. I can barely protect myself. If I bring so many people with me, I can't guarantee that everyone will return safely." Yu Qingshu also said.

"Brother Yu, don't worry. If something really happens, I won't look for you. Just take us there with peace of mind."

"Yes, Brother Yu's family is really struggling to make ends meet, otherwise they wouldn't have the nerve to come to you. We were all so envious of you when you killed the wild boar last time."

"Yes! Brother Yu, don't worry, even if there are no wild boars, other prey will do. Food is getting more and more expensive recently. If we really want to escape famine, we will have nothing. Isn't that fatal?"

Before Yu Qingshu could answer, several hunters from the village suddenly came to his doorstep and started complaining.

Yu Qingshu was also a little soft-hearted. Everyone was having a hard time, and in times of difficulty, we should help each other. The more people there were, the greater the risk, but if you wanted to eat, you had to risk your life.

"Village Chief, how about this? I can take the people with me, but I'm not responsible for their safety. If we kill a wild boar, we can split the spoils equally."

But there are too many people this time, so we can’t stay overnight at the hostel. We’ll walk faster and try to get back before dark.”

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll do as you say. You all heard it, right? You must obey Qinghai's words when you go there. If I find out that any of you act on your own, don't come to me if you have any problems." Village Chief He Qiang said "Okay" several times in a row and then solemnly warned the hunters.

"Don't worry, village chief, we will definitely listen to Brother Yu." Several rough men smiled and answered loudly.

"Dad, I want to go too. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Yu Qingqing also began to persuade Yu Qingshu.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, I'm going to look for more herbs," Yu Qingqing added.

"Okay, Qing'er, you must protect yourself first." Yu Qingshu didn't think too much about it. This time, with more people around, his daughter would be safer, so he didn't try to stop her.

Soon the others dispersed, Hua Qinglu brought breakfast to the table, and everyone started eating breakfast.

After eating, Yu Qingshu packed up his things and took Yu Qingqing to the village entrance to meet with the hunters.

"Brother Yu, we are here. We can set off now. Everything is ready." Yu Qingqing looked towards the source of the voice and saw five hunters at the entrance of the village, all holding their hunting equipment.

A total of seven people set out in a mighty procession towards the Qinglv Mountain. Since Yu Qingqing had been drinking spiritual spring water recently, she had noticed that her own and her family's physical fitness had improved. She was also able to keep up with the pace, and indeed it took her a little less time to reach the foot of the mountain than last time.

"Qing'er, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Yu Qingshu looked at his daughter and couldn't help but feel distressed. She should have been the pampered girl at home, but now she had to run around for a living. Yu Qingshu felt a little guilty.

"Dad is fine, don't worry, we have to hurry up." Yu Qingqing felt that she could do it if she gritted her teeth, and she would have to pay more attention to physical exercise in the future.

"Okay, then let's slow down a bit and not rest for the time being. Qing'er, if you can't hold on any longer, you must tell Dad. Don't try to be stubborn." Yu Qingshu continued walking after saying this, looking at the situation nearby.

I found that Qinglv Mountain was more desolate than the last time I came here, and the grass on the ground was more withered and yellow.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Qing'er, we should prepare for the future. It depends on the village chief to come up with a plan and decide where to go." Yu Qingshu said to his daughter as they walked.

"Yes, Dad, this place is more desolate than last time. These trees and grass can be burned at the slightest touch. I guess all the animals have run away to the mountains."
