"If you have nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, yellow urine, and alternating chills and fever, you can use Xiao Chaihu Tang, which is the basic conventional treatment."

"We can also add or subtract ingredients from Xiao Chaihu Decoction based on the patient's specific condition. For example, if the patient has damp heat in the body, we can add Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos. These two herbs work together: Atractylodes macrocephala removes dampness, while Poria cocos expel it from the body."

"besides……"

After explaining the prescription, Li Xiyue felt dry in the mouth. He took a sip of the spiritual spring water and asked, "This is the use of Xiao Chaihu Decoction. Did you write it down?"

Xu Baiwei was taking notes seriously, "Master, I've got it."

Li Xiyue nodded with satisfaction, stood up and went outside the yard to turn over the herbs that were drying in the sun.

"Sister, we are here." Lai Di and several children ran into the yard carrying small buckets.

Li Xiyue saw that some of them were catching leeches, some were digging earthworms, and there were also some insects like ground dogs, millipedes, dung beetles, crickets, and even a lively centipede.

"Where did you find such a big centipede?" Li Xiyue asked curiously.

The skin was reddish-brown, as big as her index finger, and about twenty centimeters long. Centipedes of this size were rare.

Lai Di said excitedly, "Last night we were cooking dinner in the kitchen when it crawled in on its own. My second sister was so scared that she started crying, and my eldest sister wanted to crush it to death. I remembered my sister said centipedes are also medicinal herbs, so I quickly got a net and covered it up."

She was quite proud after she said this, thinking that she was better than her elder and second sisters and knew more.

This time she could really be proud, because Li Xiyue's new pill just happened to be missing this medicinal ingredient.

This centipede is bigger than the last one, and it is still alive and in good condition. Even if it is sold, it will be worth a lot of money.

It is no exaggeration to say that this centipede is more valuable than ten buckets of leeches.

After all, things are valuable because they are rare. Leeches are everywhere on the ground, but there are not many centipedes.

Such a large one is even rarer.

He gave candies and biscuits to the other children in exchange, and called Lai Di into the house alone.

"Laidi, your centipede is very valuable. You can buy two kilograms of candy with it." Li Xiyue said in a low voice.

Lai Di's eyes lit up. "So many?"

"Yes, it's worth about three dollars." Li Xiyue told her truthfully.

Three pieces! ?

Lai Di was so excited that it took her a while to speak, "Sister, can I ask for money directly?"

She dug herbs and caught insects every day, and had eaten up all the sugar. Besides, how long would it take to finish two kilograms of sugar? It was so hot, it would surely have melted.

If converted into money, you can save it and spend it slowly.

"If nothing else works, this centipede will do. I'll give you three dollars." Li Xiyue took out some money and stuffed it into her pocket. "Keep it and don't tell anyone."

Lai Di was so excited that her hands were shaking. Three dollars!

This is the profit you would have to make by selling three hundred baskets.

If, if she could catch centipedes every day in the future, wouldn’t she be rich?

The child was innocent, and his thoughts were written all over his face. Li Xiyue shook her head and smiled, "Centipedes aren't found every day, so you're not allowed to take risks. If you have one, bring it to me and I'll pay you. If you don't have one, just pick leeches and dig herbs, okay?"

Lai Di agreed obediently, "I understand, sister."

"Go back." Li Xiyue rubbed her head. Seeing that it was getting late, she shouted towards the pharmacy, "Weiwei, you should go back and eat too."

"Yes, Master."

"Weiwei, let's go together."

The two good friends walked away arm in arm, talking and laughing.

Li Xiyue smiled and went to the kitchen to cook. As for those walking medicinal herbs, she would wait for Chu Xun to come back to help her deal with them.

"Erniu, oh no, Weiwei, my eldest sister has made a lot of money in the black market recently, and now we finally don't have to starve or freeze anymore."

She was used to calling her Erniu and couldn't change it for a while.

Xu Baiwei was happy for her.

"How are you? Did you get bullied when you went back to your dad's place?"

"I bullied them badly."

The two girls were laughing so hard that they were shaking.

"Weiwei, your new name is so nice." Erniu envied, "I wish I had a nice name too."

She hates the name Lai Di.

Xu Baiwei said, "Then you should change it too."

"May I?"

"Why not? It's our own name, we can change it however we want."

"Yes, our own name, we can call it whatever we want!"

Xu Baiwei returned home, but her scumbag father and stepmother had not come back yet, and the naughty kid Xuanyunduo was playing in the mud alone in the yard.

She ignored him and went straight into the house.

“Bang!”

A ball of mud hit her, and Xu Baiwei's clean clothes were immediately stained.

She turned her head and the naughty kid made a face with pride, "Lululu."

"If someone bullies you, fight back fiercely. Don't swallow your anger. If you do, they will become even more aggressive and you will be bullied even more!"

"What if someone gets hurt?"

"You know how to treat people. If they're injured, you can treat them. If you can't, you have to pay compensation. As long as you don't kill them, that's fine."

The master's words lingered in her ears, and sparks of anger flashed in Xu Baiwei's eyes. She grabbed the broom beside her, pressed the naughty kid to the ground, and whipped him hard on the butt.

"I let you throw mud at me, I let you be bad!"

"Your mother is bad, and you are bad too. You are born a bad seed!"

Xuanyunduo was beaten so hard that tears and snot started streaming down her face. "You little bitch, you dare to hit me? Mom and Dad will not forgive you when they come back!"

"Little bastard, I'm your sister, not a dead girl!"

"I'll beat you to death if I let you curse and bully others!"

Xuanyunduo screamed in pain, "Help, Dad, Mom..."

Xu Dahai and Wang Taohua came back from work and heard their son crying as soon as they reached the door. The couple rushed into the yard and were stunned at first, then they reacted and rushed forward angrily.

"Xu Erniu, you dead girl, how dare you hit my son?" Wang Taohua grabbed the dead girl and was about to hit her in the face.

She had been fuming with anger these days because of this damn girl, and today she even dared to hit her son. She had to settle all the old and new accounts with her.

If I don’t beat her to death today, she won’t be called Wang Taohua!

Xu Baiwei didn't stand there and take the beating. Instead, she slapped her with a broom, struggled to break free, turned around and ran out, crying as she ran, "Help! Help! My stepmother wants to kill me!"

Wang Taohua, whose arm was swollen after being hit hard with a broom, said: "..."

She hasn't done anything yet?

Today she finally understood what it meant to be the first to complain.
