Chapter 458 Is he here to protect himself?

There are quite a few types of medicinal herbs stored in the warehouse, including common ones such as forsythia, honeysuckle, ephedra, bitter almond, licorice, patchouli, and rhubarb.

But the relatively rare medicinal herb Rhodiola rosea is missing.

Yun Fu touched the tip of her nose. She remembered that there were a lot of Rhodiola rosea in the Dog Emperor’s treasury.

At first, she moved them all into her own space.

Now, saving lives is the most important thing, so she has to take it out.

"Qi Hanzhou, please guard the door for me. I need to prepare some medicine in this warehouse and cannot be disturbed." Yun Fu lowered her voice and winked at Qi Hanzhou.

Qi Hanzhou nodded in tacit understanding: "Okay, I'll keep watch for you, you can concentrate on preparing the medicine."

With him guarding her, Yun Fu naturally felt at ease.

He flashed into the space and found a box of Rhodiola among the medicinal herbs.

This thing grows in high-altitude and cold areas with an altitude of 1800-2700 meters. It has the effects of replenishing qi, clearing the lungs, improving intelligence and nourishing the heart. It is not a product of Dasheng itself. It should be a tribute from a small tribal country on the border. In order to please the dog emperor, a large box was filled with it.

Yunfu prepared the medicinal materials, found several large pots, and boiled the medicine at the same time because there were so many people infected.

Yunfu could only distribute the prepared medicine to the seriously ill elderly and children.

As for those young people who are strong and healthy, just hold on a little longer.

But even with this, the medicinal materials are still not enough.

Because when they arrived, the entire sixth-level area had basically fallen.

The medicinal herbs in her space are not complete. The medicinal herbs in the dog emperor's treasury are all precious and rare varieties.

On the contrary, some common medicinal ingredients in the Lianhua Qingwen prescription are missing.

Furthermore, Xuanji Zhang, Wei Lin and others are not fools. They have counted the medicinal materials in the warehouse. If there is a little extra, they may not notice it, but if there is much more than the original amount, the two of them will definitely find it.

Yun Fu doesn't want to expose the secret of her space.

Qi Hanzhou seemed to see what was bothering her and suggested, "If you don't have enough herbs, you can go to the Cui family's trading point to exchange for some. It's close by, so it shouldn't take long."

Yun Fu had the same idea. She remembered that there were also many medicinal herbs stored in the warehouse in the seventh district.

So he wrote a letter to Qi Xu.

The content is very simple. There are too many people infected in the sixth-class area. If the situation in the seventh-class area is relatively stable, Qi Xu can bring medicinal materials to the sixth-class area and go to the Cui family's trading point on the way to bring more medicinal materials and cloth.

Along with the letter, Yunfu also enclosed a packet of Rhodiola rosea wrapped in oil paper, as well as a prescription for Lianhua Qingwen.

——

The seventh-class area is not far from the sixth-class area.

Qi Xu received the letter very quickly.

She used Rhodiola rosea and other herbs on hand to formulate Lianhua Qingwen.

Because not long after Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou left, the person who came to report the news began to feel uncomfortable. Soon after, some of the people who had contact with him also began to feel unwell.

Qi Xu lamented the power of this "flu virus". Even Jin Lu, who was as strong as an ox, was infected.

Jin Lu learned from the guard who delivered medicine to him that Qi Xu was going to leave the seventh-class area. In a hurry, he went straight to his door.

"Qi Xu, I'll go with you. You don't have to worry about me infecting you. I'll keep my distance from you."

When Qi Xu saw him appear, a serious expression appeared on his face. He scolded him, "Do you know how serious the disease you are infected with is? Do you want to infect the entire seventh-level district?"

Qi Xu always thought that he was a mature and steady person, but he didn't expect that he would do such a stupid thing.

Is this person sick and confused?

Jin Lu, with a cloth covering his face, stood some distance away from her. He explained anxiously, "I didn't come into contact with anyone on the way here, so I shouldn't have been able to infect anyone else."

Qi Xu sneered, "Should I? There are so many lives lost in the entire Seventh District. If something happens to you, can you, Jin Lu, bear the consequences?"

Jin Lu was speechless because of her silence.

So many lives are too much to bear, he cannot bear it.

In the end, Jin Lu could only lower his head and return to his yard.

Before leaving, he said to her in a hoarse voice: "Then be careful on the road and take more people with you."

Qi Xu didn't reply to him, but there was a hint of disappointment in the look he gave him.

Even if Jin Lu had not been infected with the disease, Qi Xu might not be willing to let him go with him.

She felt that she could complete the task assigned by Yun Fu by bringing her own men, and she did not need Jin Lu's company.

But Liu Qing didn't think so.

Out of concern for her daughter, she approached Cheng Qingyan, hoping he could send some skilled people to accompany Qi Xu.

Cheng Qingyan nodded and agreed.

When Qi Xu counted the herbs and loaded them onto the carriage and was about to set off, he saw Cheng Qingyan appear in the crowd.

Thinking that he came to see him off, Qi Xu politely nodded slightly at him and said hello.

Unexpectedly, when they set off, Cheng Qingyan also jumped on his horse and followed behind their team.

"Brother Cheng? Where are you going?"

Qi Xu pulled the reins, let the horse approach Cheng Qingyan, and asked the question in his heart.

Cheng Qingyan glanced at her and replied, "Your mother came to me and asked me to find someone with good skills to protect you, and I agreed to her request."

Qi Xu: "Hmm? So what?"

"I thought about it and it seems that I'm the only one with decent skills in the seventh-level area."

Qi Xu finally understood what he meant, so, he was here to protect himself?

"Actually, my skills are pretty good. Brother Cheng has to deal with the affairs of the entire seventh-class district, so he must be very busy. There's no need for me to follow him." Qi Xu said politely.

Cheng Qingyan continued to ride forward, with no intention of turning back. "Right now, the biggest problem in the Seventh District is the disease. But I don't know how to treat a disease, and I don't know how to make medicine. There's no point in staying here. Why not help transport more herbs? Don't you agree?"

This time, it was Qi Xu's turn to be unable to refute.

The Cui family’s nearest trading point is some distance away.

As soon as he arrived outside the high wall of the trading point, Qi Xu smelled something wrong.

"What a strong smell of medicine, can you smell it?"

Cheng Qingyan nodded, his eyes darkening slightly: "Everyone stop and rest where you are. I'll go in and check out the situation first."

Seeing him about to step into the door of the trading point, Qi Xu suddenly called out to him, "Brother Cheng, wait a moment! Don't go in yet!"

Cheng Qingyan paused and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"

Qi Xu quickly dismounted and ran towards him with a serious look on his face. "Such a strong smell of medicine doesn't seem like the amount for one person. I suspect they might have been infected with the flu virus as well."
