Chapter 246 Waiting for Gu Xiaoxi's Antidote
Upon hearing this news, not only Gu Xiaoxi was worried, but Ye Mingxuan also couldn't help but want to go to the border town to see what was going on?
"Wei Kong, get ready, we are leaving for the border town today." He felt that after a month of rest, his body had completely recovered.
"Are you looking for death?" Gu Xiaoxi asked directly, carrying the wooden box back to his room.
Wei Kong was also worried about his master's life, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Master, can you wait?"
"How can I wait? My second brother must be busy as hell over there." Ye Mingxuan shook his head.
Ying Si looked up at Third Master and advised, "Third Master, you'd better wait. Even if you want to go, you need the antidote prepared by Miss Xiaoxi."
"Yes, let's wait!" Wei Cheng thought so too.
Ye Mingxuan felt that this was the only way now and he had to wait patiently for Gu Xiaoxi's antidote.
Gu Xiaoxi took the box into the room and did not come out for a day and a night. Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang took turns delivering meals to the door.
When the door is opened, the food is brought in, and after eating, the empty bowls are placed in the basket and taken out.
After staying awake for a whole day and night, she finally worked out the formula for the antidote, but there were several herbs that she didn't have in her space.
After opening the door, she told Wei Kong the herbs she needed and asked Wei Kong to find someone to buy them from the pharmacy in the city.
"Miss, you haven't slept for a day and a night? Why don't you take a rest first?" Qiu Shuang was worried that her master's body could not bear it.
"Boil some water. I want to take a shower, change clothes, and eat. I stink." Gu Xiaoxi felt a little disgusted with herself.
The smell of some herbs was too strong, and when mixed together, it was simply indescribable. She couldn't help but vomit several times.
Even if I changed my clothes in the space, it would still be of no use. I could only wait until the formula was researched before coming out to take a shower and change clothes.
Not only that, the room also smelled.
After she showered and changed into clean clothes, she moved some of her things into the next room, which would need to be left empty for a few days.
It seems that I can’t study the antidote in the bedroom anymore, I have to go to the pharmacy.
Her pharmacy was very big, twice as big as her house, and was filled with herbs she bought and dug from the mountains.
"Dashun, when you make the bed, make an extra one for me from the pharmacy," she ordered.
"Okay, miss!" Dashun responded.
Their family now lives in a newly built house. Everyone thinks they should be the first to move in. Gu Xiaoxi feels that it would be inappropriate to refuse, so she is the first to move into the new house.
Now there is only one family's new house that needs a few rooms to be completed. Even if Wei Kong and his people leave, they can still finish it themselves.
Not long after, Qiu Shuang brought Gu Xiaoxi's meal. After she ate and drank her fill, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
About two hours later, Wei Kong and the others came back.
They found two of the herbs, but the other one was missing. However, the owner of the pharmacy told them that this herb was found deep in the mountains.
However, it snows in winter and the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on, so people who dig herbs will not go into the mountains at this time. They have to wait until the snow melts in spring.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that the soldiers in the barracks could not wait any longer, so she drew a picture of the medicinal herb and went to find Chief Xu, asking him to ask if anyone in the village had seen this medicine before.
Patriarch Xu also took this matter very seriously and immediately asked his grandson and son to gather all the villagers to inquire about it.
I asked around, but no one said they had seen it.
However, just as Gu Xiaoxi and the others were about to leave with disappointment on their faces, Xu Mo said, "Xiaoxi, take this painting to show Uncle Geda. He has been deep in the mountains before."
After listening to this, Gu Xiaoxi took the scroll and went to Uncle Geda's house.
Although Uncle Geda's head was getting better, the weather was too cold. Except for going to the nearby mountains to find some wild vegetables in the morning, they stayed at home most of the time.
One reason was the cold, and the other was that I had consumed too much energy and was getting hungry quickly.
Uncle Geda has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his gratitude, but he can't go to the mountains in the winter, so he can only recuperate at home and wait for the arrival of spring.
"Uncle Geda, Xu Mo said that you have been to the deep mountains. Have you seen this kind of medicinal herb?" Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly handed the scroll to Uncle Geda as soon as he entered the room.
Uncle Geda looked at it carefully and said excitedly, "I've seen this kind of grass in the valley behind. There's miasma there all year round, and the mountains are covered with snow in winter. I just walked in there by accident."
I have seen young people digging for herbs and they have found this kind of herb.
If you want to find it, I will go with you."
He finally found an opportunity to repay his gratitude and seemed extremely excited.
Gu Xiaoxi and Wei Kong were extremely excited to hear the news, but thinking about the heavy snow blocking the mountain and the miasma inside, she was worried that Uncle Geda's body could not withstand it.
"Uncle Geda, your body..." she began.
"After recuperating for so long, all diseases have been cured. Don't worry, I know my body and can lead the way!" Uncle Geda patted his chest with confidence.
Gu Xiaoxi became a little hesitant.
"Miss Xiaoxi, we can't wait too long over there." Wei Kong became anxious when he saw Gu Xiaoxi hesitating.
"Xiaoxi, don't hesitate. I'll go prepare something and leave now." Uncle Geda saw that the young man was very anxious and guessed that he must be a seriously ill patient looking for medicine.
Gu Xiaoxi frowned and glanced at the thin Aunt Geda and her two half-grown children.
"Miss Xiaoxi, if we delay for one day, that means several people's lives will be at stake!" Wei Cheng also became a little anxious.
Gu Xiaoxi came to her senses and instructed, "Dashun, take my aunt and the two children back home.
Wei Kong, you must ensure Uncle Geda's safety, can you do it?"
"Yes!" Wei Kong and Wei Cheng answered in unison.
"Don't worry, I often go into the mountains. Nothing will happen if I bring my stuff with me." Uncle Geda also became anxious.
After everyone agreed, Gu Xiaoxi and the others did not set off immediately because it was already afternoon and they could not go into the mountains without any preparation.
They first went home in a carriage, and then Wei Kong and Ying Si went to the city to buy some ropes and other things needed to go into the mountains.
They prepared everything in the evening, and the next morning, a group of ten people went out. Gu Xiaoxi also brought the battle-tested whiteboard with him.
After sending them out, Aunt Geda stood at the door for a long time and didn't leave because she was afraid that the old man would never come back this time.
However, she also knew that this favor was too great. If they missed this opportunity, they might not be able to find a chance to repay the favor in the future. After all, they were just ordinary poor people.
"Aunt Geda, don't worry too much. Wei Kong and the others are all martial artists. They will come back safely." Xue supported Aunt Geda and comforted her.
"Yes, Aunt Geda, they are not ordinary people, they have amazing leg skills!" Ying Si did not go with them this time and was left behind to take care of everyone.
