Chapter 65 Medicine and Herbal Tea

In the end, Rose obediently climbed back into the water tank on her own. Because of the sudden run, she had sweated a lot and felt extremely exhausted.

"Hoo hoo~ Rose is so tired, Rose is feeling terrible."

Su Yun poured water over her head, saying, "Calm down, calm down. Who told you to run around like that?"

Rose pouted, her tone full of grievance: "It's all because of you!"

Su Yun: "I already said no~"

Rose was still indignant: "She's clearly prettier, taller, and has a better figure than you, so why did she choose someone like you? This is unfair!"

"Hey, isn't that going too far?" Su Yun looked at her reflection in the water. "I was on the school beauty list, after all. Although I'm not as stunning as the mermaid, I'm still considered pretty. My figure is alright too, a waist is a waist, legs are legs, I think—"

Su Yun glanced at Rose's magnificent figure out of the corner of her eye, "Oh, although it can't compare, it still has some substance, okay! Isn't this a bit too much of a personal attack?"

Rose: "Waaah~ I feel so wronged~ I can't understand it~ Is it because I'm not good enough?"

Su Yun looked at the little dog, soaking wet and drooping its head as it lay by the tank, and said patiently, "To each their own. Everyone has their own preferences, wants, and doesn't want. It has nothing to do with whether you are good enough or not; it's just the other person's choice."

Rose seemed to understand but not quite, and asked in confusion, "Does it mean that Night Wind chose you?"

"That's probably a fair interpretation. I don't know if he chose me, but we can be sure that he didn't choose you, and the reason he didn't choose you isn't because you're not good enough."

Perhaps it's because the other person didn't understand the question at all, but judging from Night Wind's behavior, he's unwilling to be with Rose...

Rose, with her limited comprehension, gave a bewildered look.

Su Yun didn't intend to go into too much detail, but patiently continued, "It's like you like to eat rabbit heads and I like to eat chicken wings. It doesn't mean that rabbit heads are necessarily better than chicken wings. Everyone has different preferences, and we should learn to respect other people's choices."

"Chicken wings and rabbit heads?" Rose's eyes lit up again; this time she understood.

She hadn't eaten properly for a whole day and night, and now, with her desires waning in certain areas, her hunger was slowly starting to show. "Rose is hungry..."

As she spoke, she drooped her ears and looked at Su Yun with anticipation.

Su Yun sighed, her tone helpless: "Wait, I'll heat up some chicken soup for you."

Lunch consisted of chicken soup with kudzu root, steamed kudzu root chunks, and tofu with pigeon leaves.

These are all delicious dishes that I didn't have time to eat yesterday.

The pigeon leaf tofu, after being soaked overnight in cool well water, has solidified into bright green tofu blocks.

Su Yun took them out of the water, put them on a plate, and cut them into pieces. Then she chopped the chili peppers and garlic, added sauce and salt, and then poured it into the tofu. After mixing it all together, a plate of refreshing and delicious tofu was ready.

The bright green tofu cubes are dotted with red chili peppers, creating a refreshing and delightful combination. One bite reveals the tofu's fresh, herbal flavor and the coolness of well water; it's smooth, tender, and incredibly delicious, perfect for a hot summer day.

After taking a bite, Su Yun couldn't stop and ended up eating a whole bowl of it while hiding in the kitchen.

Spicy and refreshing, a true delicacy!

Next, steam the kudzu root pieces.

Kudzu root is peeled and steamed directly. Kudzu root from the mountains is very powdery, and after steaming, it becomes powdery, with a texture somewhat like eating taro, except that it has a higher fiber content, so you have to spit out large chunks of fiber from time to time.

However, if you grind it directly into starch, a lot of kudzu root will be lost. The amount of powder made from this large piece of kudzu root might not even be enough for a small bowl.

So Su Yun steamed it directly in a pot, perfectly preserving all the edible parts.

However, if you use kudzu root to make soup, you won't have this problem at all.

Cut the kudzu root into chunks and put it directly into the pot to stew with the chicken. The whole chunks became very soft and cooked through, and even the fibers softened considerably, making them almost ready to be swallowed whole.

Moreover, the chicken soup cooked this way has a subtle, refreshing aroma.

As soon as the soup was ready, Su Yun happily drank a large bowl of it.

"Don't just eat by yourself!" Rose, still soaking in the water tank, got anxious as soon as she smelled the fragrance and shouted from the edge of the tank.

"Wait!" Su Yun filled a bowl, brought it to the water vat, and handed it to Rose.

Rose took the bowl and began to devour the food, "Mmm..."

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Yun asked, watching the child engrossed in eating.

Rose had been starving for a day and a night and was already exhausted. At this moment, she was only focused on eating, "Waaah... good... good..." She couldn't even speak properly.

Su Yun ignored her and went back to eating her own food after feeding her.

Su Yun thoroughly enjoyed her lunch. "It feels like I haven't had a main dish in ages! It was so delicious!"

"Staple food?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

"Things rich in starch, like kudzu root, corn, and rice. The rice in the fields is almost ripe! In a few days we'll be able to eat real staple food!"

"Yes!" Ye Feng was also looking forward to it.

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yun went to check on Rose again. She saw that Rose had finished her meal and was no longer hungry, but some dormant desires were stirring again.

Rose's eyes were slightly red, and an unnatural pink hue began to appear on her fair face. She became dazed and confused.

Su Yun reached out and touched her forehead; it was alarmingly hot. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

Rose said weakly, "I'm so hot!"

People are already soaking in water, why are they still complaining about the heat?

Su Yun was worried that the other person's brain might get damaged from the fever, so she had to think of a way to relieve the heat emanating from their body.

After thinking for a long time, she realized that cold compresses didn't seem to be very effective. Would sweating it out be better?

So she turned to Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, bring over the herbal decoction you brewed yesterday."

"good."

"Also, please help me brew a pot of herbal tea."

"good."

Su Yun vaguely remembered that mugwort and calamus had the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving stagnation, but she didn't know if it would actually work, so she could only try it first.

But the herbal tea yesterday really helped a lot, so I should keep drinking it.

After the medicine was reheated, it was added to the water tank, making the cold water warm.

Rose was already very hot, and now that the water temperature had suddenly risen, she couldn't sit still anymore and struggled to stand up from the water tank.

"The roses are too hot, don't soak them in hot water, use cold water."

Su Yun immediately pressed her down and patiently explained, "It's because you've been soaking in cold water for a long time that your meridians have been frozen by the cold air, so they're blocked. Now, using medicine to open your meridians is actually a way to promote drainage. If you soak in warm water, once they're open and flowing smoothly, you'll sweat and the blockage will be gone, and maybe you'll be fine!"

Su Yun was talking nonsense with a straight face. She heard this theory from the barefoot doctor at the village entrance. She didn't know if it was useful or not, but whenever she had a cold or fever, she would occasionally soak her feet and sweat it out, which had an unexpected effect.

Rose cried, "Waaah, I don't want to."

Unfortunately, he was too weak to move and could only be held down by Su Yun and soaked in the medicinal water.

"Waaah, it's so hot! Rose is sweating so much." Rose's body was limp and powerless. Su Yun pressed her down in the tub, and she couldn't resist. She could only keep crying out.

While wiping her sweat, Su Yun carefully observed her condition. Although she was shouting loudly, she didn't actually have any major problems.

On the contrary, after soaking for a while and starting to sweat, the heat on my forehead began to decrease slightly.

Then Rose struggled and resisted with increasing strength until she finally broke free from Su Yun's control and stood up from the water tank.

"Huff, Rose, it's so hot, I'm sweating so much. Rose, don't want to soak in hot water anymore!" Rose was covered in sweat from soaking in the warm medicine, and she tried to climb out of the water tank.

Su Yun then handed her a dry towel with "satisfaction," saying, "Look, you've regained your strength in less than half an hour. This proves that the medicinal bath did have some effect. It seems that it's better to let this heat dissipate than to suppress it!"

"What do you mean? Rose doesn't understand." Rose didn't like the wet feeling either, so she dried herself off as soon as she left the water tank and started changing her clothes.

Seeing that the husky had clearly regained its energy but was unaware of it, Su Yun sighed helplessly, "So it means my potion is still somewhat effective. See, aren't you much better now?"

Rose was drying her hair with a towel when she belatedly realized, "Oh yeah, how did I stand up? I feel so much better! Although it was a little uncomfortable while I was soaking, I feel refreshed and quite comfortable now."

"That's right. We should ensure the meridians are clear and the toxins are expelled before giving some internal medicine to reduce internal heat! Night Breeze, is the herbal tea ready?"

A night breeze echoed from the kitchen, "Ready!"

Ten minutes later, a bowl of dark green herbal tea with a strong bitter taste was served to Rose.

Rose stared wide-eyed at the strange-smelling, oddly colored potion before her, her eyes filled with fear. "This...this...can I drink this?"

Su Yun patted his chest and declared, "Freshly brewed and consumed immediately, guaranteed to cure the disease!"

Rose was skeptical. "Really?"

Su Yun: "More real than pearls!"

In the end, Rose drank the pot of herbal tea after being half-coaxed and half-tricked by Su Yun, and the effect was indeed very good.

Rose's fire immediately subsided; her body stopped burning, her complexion lost its rosy hue, and she stopped feeling unwell!

That's great!

Rose no longer needs to stay in the water tank—because she has completely moved her base and is now stationed in the toilet.

Su Yun was resting on a chair with Ye Feng when Rose, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly clutched her stomach and rushed to the toilet with a loud thud.

This was Rose's sixth time running into the toilet, accompanied by a series of splashing sounds.

From a distance outside the door, Su Yun called out with great concern, "Rose, how are you? Are you alright?"

From inside the bathroom came Rose's weak sobs, "I'm not feeling well at all, I'm going to die!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you talking about dying out of the blue? Your voice is so loud, you must be alright!"

"Waaaaah, Rose is no good at all, my chrysanthemum hurts so much, waaaaah, Rose, I'll never trust you again, you quack! Waaaaah..."

"You can't entirely blame me! I'm just treating the symptoms, at least you're not feeling bad now, right?"

"Waaaaah, I'd rather soak in a water tank than squat in a toilet... It's all your fault, it's all your fault, waaaaah—"

People with different values ​​cannot work together. Su Yun decided to find a new person who shared her views, so she turned her attention to the bystander, Ye Feng.

"Night Wind, you be the judge. How can this be my fault? At least I tried my best and achieved effective success. It's just that the aftereffects are a little bit significant. Don't you think so, Night Wind?"

Night Breeze was looking at Rose, who was clutching her anus and looking miserable as she leaned against the toilet, and she couldn't bear to see her like that.

Looking at Su Yun's expectant eyes, he entrusted her with important responsibilities.

Finally, he turned his face away and, against his conscience, said, "You're right."

Rose:T﹏T

"You guys are bullying single people again!"
