"Okay, Mother, let's go quickly."
"Let's ask the neighbors at the door first. But this is such an embarrassing thing, we can't say it out loud. Let's just treat it as a casual chat with the neighbors, and try to find out indirectly, understand?"
Lai Chuncao nodded: "Mother, I know."
They found a neighbor and chatted for a bit, casually mentioning that a man in one of their relatives' families was ill, and that the family was very worried. But Lin Jun didn't know anything about this, so they asked another neighbor, who also didn't know, and they returned empty-handed once again.
"Mom, none of the neighbors know, we need to ask someone else."
Lai's mother patted her daughter's hand: "It's alright, we can just ask a few more people. We can go find some older people and get some information from them. Or we can ask our relatives and friends for help."
So the mother and daughter immediately went to other people's homes to learn from their experiences.

After obtaining the prescription, Lai's mother and Lai Chuncao took Zhao Wensong up the mountain to collect herbs the next day. After two more days, they finally gathered all the medicine needed to treat Zhao Wensong's illness.
They didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine and didn't know that fresh herbs were poisonous and needed to be dried before being decocted. That evening, Lai Chuncao decocted a dose of medicine for Zhao Wensong and made him drink it.
