"wrong!"

Lin Xue held the leaf under her nose and smelled it carefully, then rubbed it between her two fingers to extract the juice and smelled it again.

"Go pick this plant and let me see it!"

Because it was only a small piece, Lin Xue couldn't figure out what was going on, so she had to ask Liu Zhi to make another trip.

"Alright, ma'am, you wait here!"

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he leaped up the cliff face, looked around, and quickly locked onto his target.

A moment later, he returned to Lin Xue's side with the grass. Lin Xue took the whole plant and examined it carefully.

"This is a resurrection herb!"

It wasn't until the entire blade of grass was presented to Lin Xue that she was certain of her judgment.

"Resurrection Grass? What kind of herb is that? I don't think I've ever heard of it!"

Liu Muchen looked at the weed in Lin Xue's hand and had never heard of a herb called "Resurrection Grass".

The resurrection herb—isn't it just one of those fictitious elixirs recorded in storybooks?

"The resurrection plant is a healing herb, also known as Selaginella tamariscina, and is hailed as the indestructible plant in the herbal world!"

Lin Xue placed the resurrection grass in Liu Muchen's hand and asked him to examine it carefully.

"Auntie, why is this herb known as the 'indestructible plant'?"

Liu Zhi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"The resurrection plant is a very drought-resistant plant. Even if it dries up into a pile of withered grass, it can come back to life as long as it encounters water!"

"I heard that someone once took this resurrection plant home and left it on the roof, forgetting about it. More than ten years later, they found the withered plant, put it in a pot, and it miraculously came back to life. Isn't that amazing?"

The reason Lin Xue is so familiar with the Resurrection Grass is because in her previous life, when she watched an adventure program, the host discovered the Resurrection Grass on the cliff and told several versions of the story of this herb.

That's roughly the gist of it. Lin Xue didn't remember it all, but that was about it. She told everyone that.

"That's really amazing, but what are its specific medicinal uses?"

Liu Muchen now felt a sense of admiration for the little grass in his hand; its tenacious vitality was truly remarkable.

"The main function of the resurrection herb is to stop bleeding. It is effective in stopping bleeding, whether it is internal bleeding or external wounds!"

"No one can guarantee they won't get hurt along the way. Let's collect some of this resurrection herb; it might come in handy if anyone gets injured later!"

After hearing Lin Xue's explanation, everyone felt it made sense, and Liu Zhi ran back to the cliff and dug up a lot of resurrection grass.

This thing is extremely resilient and grows in large patches, so it's not as difficult to dig up as the previous Coptis chinensis.

After a delay of about half an hour, everyone set off again.

Because of the gains they had made, their mood was no longer as low as before, and everyone walked with much lighter steps.

"Brother Liu, have you figured out what route we should take next?"

After continuing their journey, Lin Xue turned to ask Liu Muchen, who was walking beside her.

Liu Muchen was no longer as surprised as he had been the first time that Lin Xue had changed her way of addressing him.

Anyway, as long as you don't call him Master Liu, you can call him whatever you want.

Actually, what he liked best was when Lin Xue called him Brother Liu.

It satisfied his sense of dignity as a man.

"I discussed it with Liu Zhi and the others, and we think it's not the right time for us to return to the main road!"

"Take the small path between these mountains and go around to the other side of the mountain path that was blocked before!"

Anyway, that was our original plan, but we can't take that original path anymore.

The bandits might still be guarding over there. We can only take this kind of mountain path, and it's not easy for the bandits' horses to come up.

Let alone the bandits' horses, even the horses and donkeys they brought with them had a difficult time walking.

It was only with several guards watching closely that they were able to pass through such a narrow path.

Those bandits riding big horses simply couldn't gallop across such mountain roads.

This also gave them more time to travel, and the group would be safer.

"Why!"

Lin Xue sighed.

"In short, it is the common people who suffer. Fleeing from famine is difficult enough, but they also encounter such vicious bandits!"

Lin Xue felt very sad; her abilities were limited, and she couldn't help so many people.

All they can do is try their best to survive in this world with their families.

"Ah Xue, don't worry too much. Once we get out of these mountains, we'll be able to enter Quanzhou!"

“Once we get there, we can get new carriages. And the disaster there isn’t as severe, so our journey will be much easier!”

Liu Muchen has his own businesses in Quanzhou, so once he's in Quanzhou, he won't have to let Ah Xue and the others suffer anymore.

He will prepare more carriages and horses, and he will no longer have to suffer such hardship.

The two exchanged a few words and then fell silent.

"Zhenbao, how are you feeling? Tell your mother if you're not feeling well!"

Walking behind Lin Xue was He Ahui, next to her was Li Dagui, and on her back was Li Zhen.

"Mother, I'm much better now!"

"Grandpa Liu gave me a lot of dried meat, it smells so good! Mom, do you want some?"

Li Zhen took out a cloth bag from the corner of her basket, took out a piece of dried meat from it, and handed it to He Ahui.

"Keep the treasure for yourself, Mother has some too!"
