Chapter 59 Finding Mushu Grass

As he was about to turn around and leave, Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao looked at each other and called out to the man in front of them, "Young Master, wait a minute."

"Have you seen Muxu grass?" Xu Miaomiao heard it softly. They had been searching here for a long time but had not seen any trace of it. Now they finally had some idea.

"Yes, I remember encountering a large area of them when I entered the mountain." Yu Huaijin touched his head, pretending to be in deep thought, and pointed to a small path behind him and said, "It seems to be here."

Xu Miaomiao glanced at Gu Yuanniang hesitantly, then turned to Yu Huaijin and said, "Mr. Yu, to be honest, we are here to look for Muxu grass. I hope you can lead the way."

"Okay, okay." Yu Huaijin shook his head helplessly: "I can't get out by myself anyway."

The silence of the forest seemed eerie, and even the road they walked on made the sound of branches breaking, creaking.

"I wonder what your names are? What are you looking for Muxu grass for?"

Yu Huaijin asked curiously.

Xu Miaomiao followed him and said, "My name is Xu Miao, she is Gu Liu, we are just shop assistants in a pharmacy, the boss collected Muxu grass, and wanted to find some more to spend some money."

"Those two ladies are really bold." Yu Huaijin said thoughtfully: "This forest is the most terrifying. You dare to come here just for money."

"Haha." Xu Miaomiao laughed twice: "Aren't you afraid of being poor?"

As it became darker and darker around them, Xu Miaomiao was filled with doubts. This man was obviously taking them deeper.

"arrive."

Ye Huaijin stopped on the road and looked at the grass and trees in front.

Gu Yuanniang frowned and looked at the man with dissatisfaction: "Hey, are you kidding us? There is no Muxu grass here except for the black grass."

Unexpectedly, Yu Huaijin was not angry at all, and kept a smile on his face: "Don't worry, my lady, it's right behind here."

As he spoke, Yu Huaijin pulled aside the grass in front of him, and suddenly the surroundings became bright. The twinkling fireflies coated the sky with a layer of soft yellow light. They were seen surrounding a pond, and around the pond were large areas of wood grass.

"It's Mushu!" Gu Yuanniang was pleasantly surprised and quickly ran over to pull up the herbs and put them in her backpack.

Xu Miaomiao was not in a hurry. She turned around and thanked the man in front of her: "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

"No need." The man looked at Xu Miaomiao thoughtfully: "I just want to ask if Xu Miao is the real Xu Miao."

"What about Mr. Huaijin?" Xu Miaomiao looked at the man with an unchanged expression: "But it's really Yu Huaijin."

“Hahahahahahaha.” The man suddenly laughed and looked at Xu Miaomiao: “Huai Jin is real, he’s just Jin Huai.”

Yu Jinhuai? Xu Miaomiao was suddenly stunned. The man had no ill will towards her and even helped her find Muxu. However, he was not a scholar at first glance, and the nobility in his gestures was hard to ignore.

"Miao Miao, come quickly."

Gu Yuanniang, who was standing aside, kept moving her hands and spoke to Xu Miaomiao who was standing there in a daze.

Xu Miaomiao came to her senses and headed towards Gu Yuanniang, but when she turned around, the man was nowhere to be seen behind her, only the endless night.

"Miao Miao, where is Mr. Yu?" Gu Yuanniang spoke while looking at the darkness behind her.

Xu Miaomiao glanced in the direction of Gu Yuanniang and said, "Maybe she's scared. Let's go."

"He just left like that." Gu Yuan's mother said with some regret. We haven't thanked him properly yet.

"Hehe." Xu Miaomiao laughed and said nothing.

"So many of them should be used to treat the people in the city."

Xu Miaomiao nodded: "That's enough."

Just now, while Gu Yuan's mother wasn't paying attention, I put a lot more in the space and transplanted some seeds into the space. This should be more than enough to treat those patients.

After picking the herbs, Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao walked back along the same path they came. This time everything went as smoothly as before. They didn't encounter any wild beasts or the like, and they soon got out of the mountain.

At that time, the sun had just risen and sprinkled on Gu Yuanniang, making her sigh comfortably.

"Sixth Lady, the sun is up."

"Yes, I'm up." Gu Yuanniang stretched and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "It's so comfortable."

But Xu Miaomiao frowned, still worried: "It's already the second day, we have to go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late to make the antidote."

"What!" Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang did not dare to delay and immediately pulled Xu Miaomiao to the restaurant: "Then we have to hurry."

But in a moment, Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang returned to the town panting.

But there was no time to stop, Xu Miaomiao went straight to the restaurant.

Everyone lay on the ground wailing in pain. Originally there were many yamen runners helping but now there was only one person left.

"Xuguo, what's going on?"

"You're finally back." Xu Guo looked at Xu Miaomiao, and the boy who was usually so strong almost cried: "A high-ranking official came and transferred County Magistrate Bai away, and the yamen runners were also taken back. He also said that if the condition doesn't get better in three days, all the sick people will have to be burned to death."

"What!" Xu Miaomiao was shocked: "How can such a high-ranking official be so overbearing? Are these lives nothing to him?"

Xu Miaomiao was a little upset. Gu Yuanniang, who had arrived late, also complained about this in dissatisfaction when she heard this.

"Okay, this is not the time to talk about this. We have to prepare the antidote quickly." Xu Miaomiao spoke slowly.

As he said this, he and Gu Yuanniang poured out all the muxu grass in the basket.

"With so many, we can definitely cure them." Xuguo said from the side, his tone of surprise and his eyes towards Xu Miaomiao with a little more respect.

"Doctor Xu, you are finally back. Please help my child."

The woman knelt in front of Xu Miaomiao, holding the sobbing child in her arms. Xu Miaomiao felt relieved and helped her up: "Don't worry, my lady. I will give it to you when a batch of antidotes comes out."

"Doctor Xu, you can't just side with them because you feel sorry for them. I'm in pain too." The man was lying on the ground struggling in pain, and there was some blame in his tone: "Please save me first, I can't do it anymore."

Xu Miaomiao frowned. Gu Yuanniang and the others were still boiling the medicine, but the quantity in the first batch was limited. With so many patients, she could only take care of the serious ones first.

Xu Miaomiao squatted down and took the man's pulse. Compared with the mother and son, the man's condition was relatively optimistic.

"Don't worry, everyone will definitely get the antidote." Xu Miaomiao spoke, and could only comfort them softly.

Unexpectedly, the man pushed her in dissatisfaction: "I am in this state and you still don't give me a drink first, how can this be justified!"

As he said this, he started to throw a tantrum and said, "I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore."

Xu Miaomiao frowned and could only comfort the man in front of her: "Don't worry, we have found the antidote and we will make sure everyone gets it."

There was a constant commotion in the lobby. Xu Miaomiao calmed everyone down and then came out and breathed a sigh of relief.
