Chapter 21: Magical Dragon Grass
[Third brother is so pitiful, this frostbite looks so painful! ]
You have to know that Gu Jinan is only five years old.
A five-year-old child got frostbite on his feet. You can imagine the torment and pain he was in.
There are quite a few medicinal herbs growing in the secret space, and one of them is the dragon sore grass, which is used to treat frostbite.
It's a pity that she is too young now and can't even speak clearly.
How can I throw the herbs out and let her mother crush them and apply them to my third brother?
While Gu Qiqi was struggling with her inner struggle, a dragon sore grass flew out from the secret space on its own.
[Fuck~ How did this thing come out by itself? ] Gu Qiqi was so shocked that she uttered foul language.
Gu Jianguo and Su Mingmei frowned at the same time, their eyes fixed on the purple dragon sore grass.
What the hell?
"Hey, what is this? Is it edible?" Gu Jinan picked up the dragon sore grass on the bed and looked it up and down.
Gu Qiqi looked at her mother and her father guiltily!
[Phew, luckily my parents didn't doubt it. Hey, this dragon sore grass can be crushed to treat frostbite. After applying it to my third brother, his feet stopped itching! ]
Su Mingmei and Gu Jianguo looked at each other and saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes.
They had always known that Qibao was different from ordinary people, but they didn't know that he could also conjure herbs out of thin air...
"This must be dragon sore grass. Jin'an is so lucky. Wait..." Su Mingmei took the dragon sore grass and walked out of the room.
After a while, the dragon sore grass was mashed into a paste and placed in a small bowl.
Gu Qiqi watched her mother apply the mashed dragon sore grass to Gu Jinan's chilblained feet and then wrap them skillfully with a piece of gauze.
The whole process was done in one go, leaving her stunned.
She was narrow-minded. It turned out that her mother not only knew about dragon sore grass, but also knew how to use it.
However, isn’t this the Dragon Sore Grass that is only found in the world of immortal cultivation?
Is it true in this era as well?
In her previous life, she was the heiress of a medical family and had studied too many herbal prescriptions. It seemed that there was no such herb as dragon's sore grass in the herbal compendium!
Then how did her mother know?
Gu Qiqi's big dark eyes fell on her mother in confusion.
Su Mingmei lowered her head guiltily and pretended to check the third brother's feet.
"It really doesn't itch anymore, it feels cool and comfortable!"
Gu Jinan, who was itching so much, sighed comfortably the moment the herbal medicine was applied.
[The dragon sore grass nourished by spiritual energy is naturally extraordinary! 】
Gu Qiqi snorted in her heart, anything produced in the secret space must be a masterpiece!
After all, there is an entire spiritual vein nourishing it, and the herbs growing in it absorb spiritual energy over the years, so the effects are definitely different from ordinary ones.
Is it really that magical?
Su Mingmei looked at the remaining medicinal mud in the bowl and decided to find an empty bottle to put it in. Not a single drop of it could be wasted!
Gu Jinan's feet got frostbite because he didn't keep them warm enough.
"Go out and look around tomorrow to see if you can bring back some cotton. The cotton clothes that Jinze and the other boys are wearing have become stiff after being washed. It would be great if we could make each of them a new coat. At the very least, we could make each of them a new pair of cotton shoes!"
Su Mingmei said to her husband beside her.
Gu Jianguo nodded: "Okay, I will take the team's car to the city tomorrow morning to have a look. If there are any defective shoes that do not require tickets, I will buy a pair for each of them. Cotton may be difficult to buy, after all, there are no cotton tickets..."
In the planned economy era, cotton, as an important commodity, required cotton coupons.
Moreover, cotton is in short supply. In the middle of winter, even if you have a cotton ticket, you may not be able to buy it...
"I have some other tickets here. See if you can find someone to exchange them for me. The child is still young. If he doesn't dress warmly, this winter will be very difficult to endure..." Su Mingmei said as she took out a tin box with a peony pattern printed on it from her room.
The iron box was opened, and inside was a neatly stacked pile of tickets tied up with rubber bands, next to which was a bundle of big unity and some change, and then some needles, threads and buttons randomly placed...
"Okay, I'll take them all!" Gu Jianguo nodded and took out both stacks of banknotes and put them in his trouser pockets.
"It's cold, so let's go to bed early. Let the children stay in the house tomorrow and light a coal stove to warm themselves up!" Gu Jianguo said to his wife.
It's snowing so heavily outside. According to the information revealed by Qibao, the snow will continue until New Year's Eve. There is no hope of clearing up before the New Year.
Thinking of the snow disaster, Gu Jianguo frowned slightly.
If he didn't know, he could be at peace with not knowing...
But Qibao had already given him a warning.
As a soldier, if he really did nothing, he would feel guilty...
After everyone in the family fell asleep, Gu Qiqi slipped into the space.
The secret space is warm like spring, with a pleasant climate.
Gu Qiqi was lying on the grass near the spring, practicing as usual.
Early the next morning, Gu Jianguo set out in the army's vehicle for purchasing.
It had been snowing all night and the snow on the ground was knee-deep enough for a four or five-year-old child.
Fortunately, they were riding in a large truck with stable four-wheel drive and strong grip, so the driving was not affected along the way.
After a night's sleep, Gu Jinan couldn't wait to see his frostbitten feet when he woke up.
He slept soundly last night. Apart from the discomfort of the gauze wrapped around his foot, he didn't feel anything else.
The gauze was lifted, and the feet were stained with a light purple layer, and the frostbitten areas were smooth as before...
"Stay at home today and don't go anywhere!" Su Mingmei got a new pair of cloth shoes for the third child and placed them beside the bed.
"That's great, the dragon sore grass is really good!" Su Mingmei couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the third brother's feet.
Just one night's sleep will do the trick, the results are immediate!
Su Mingmei took Gu Jinze to the cafeteria to get breakfast and lunch.
Having experienced the third child’s shoes getting soaked, Su Mingmei specially changed the eldest child into a pair of newly bought rubber shoes when going out.
The snow was deep, and every step was a challenge for Gu Jinze.
Su Mingmei looked at the snow that was up to her calves, worry in her eyes.
It’s only been two days and the snow is already so deep. If it continues to snow for another twenty or more days, how high will the snow be?
From now on, even going out will be troublesome...
They don’t worry about the bungalows they live in collapsing, but the same cannot be said for the adobe and tile houses…
In the evening, Gu Jianguo finally came back.
The large truck responsible for purchasing supplies helped to take him to the gate of the hospital.
Su Mingmei heard the knock on the door and hurried to open it for him.
When the gate opened, Gu Jianguo was seen standing outside carrying a large basket of potatoes.
At his feet there was a large basket of cabbages and various large and small packages of things.
"Let's go back to the house first!" Gu Jianguo said to his wife.
Su Mingmei nodded and helped move things into the house.
When Gu Jinze and his friends saw that their father had bought so many things, they were so happy and excited that they wanted to help. However, they were stopped by Su Mingmei before they could take any action.
The yard is full of snow. What should I wear if my shoes get wet?
Do you want to freeze your feet again?
