After waiting for a long time, Xu Da and the other man finally arrived. They were lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Girl, is there a ghost chasing you? You've left an afterimage!"
"But...that's right, sister, do you...do you still remember that your brother is behind you?" Tang Wen complained.
Tang Youyou picked up the backpack and left with Li Hongyuan without any explanation.
Before they knew it, it was dark and the four of them fell asleep on the ground.
The next day, Li Hongyuan's eyes were bruised and he looked exhausted.
Xu Da pointed at his eyes and asked, "Did you steal a cow last night?"
He ripped the cloth from his ears with a somewhat plaintive tone: "How can I sleep when you snore like thunder?"
The other three turned away in embarrassment.
Tang Wen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Look, isn't that a red strip of cloth over there?"
Xu Da jumped twice: "That's right, it must be a mark they left. Let's go quickly."
Little did they know that the main group was preparing food at that time, and everyone was sighing.
"There are dense trees here, and you can even dig up some wild vegetables."
"This place is less than three hundred miles away from Nanzhou. We can arrive in seven or eight days at most."
Someone frowned, "But, now we don't have a household registration pass, what should we do?"
At this moment, "Finally caught up!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that their tribesmen were not far away, and their eyes were immediately filled with tears.
Tang's mother searched the crowd for her daughter and son but couldn't find them. She looked down anxiously but there was no one there. She was extremely panicked.
"Zhang Da, where's Youyou?"
Butcher Zhang slapped his forehead and said, "The three of them told us to go ahead and rescue the victims of the mine!"
Tang's mother was perplexed. Saving a stranger? Given her daughter's personality, that was simply impossible. What had happened?
Butcher Zhang stepped forward to comfort her: "Auntie, don't worry, my sister will succeed!"
After counting the number of people, the Liu clan leader also advised: "Don't worry, sister, we will wait here for a few more days."
This time, it was thanks to the Tang family, otherwise his entire clan would have become refugees. Even if they arrived in Nanzhou, they would have been sent back to their hometown, which would have been equivalent to watching their clansmen die.
Everyone was preoccupied and not happy about the reunion.
"Oh...it's all here!" Tang Youyou put Li Hongyuan down, and the latter could no longer hold back and vomited all over the place.
Xiao Si was the first to react. She rushed out like a cannonball and threw herself into her arms, sobbing softly, "Mom...you scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again in this life. Sob... sob..."
Tang Youyou panted and touched his clumping hair lovingly: "Silly boy, I'm tired and hungry, hurry up and find me something to eat!"
Lin Huahua and Tang's mother had been waiting nearby and quickly handed over the pancakes and water bag.
"Why are you still crying? Don't worry, I have a strong life, and the King of Hell won't dare to take me away!"
Tang's mother burst into tears. She glared at her, clasped her hands together, and bowed to the sky: "Buddha, please don't blame me. She said it without thinking. It doesn't count..."
Tang Youyou swallowed the food whole, faced with everyone's grateful eyes, smiled slightly, and pointed at Li Hongyuan who was leaning against the tree trunk.
"This is the son of the legal advisor in Qingshui County, Nanzhou. By chance, I rescued him!"
Li Hongyuan finally opened his eyes, and was met with sparkling eyes. He shuddered and swallowed hard: "Well... I'm just the master's son!"
One man reacted quickly and handed him a water bag.
"Little brother, I feel close to you just by looking at you. I saw you vomited quite violently just now. Drink some water quickly to calm down."
Someone took out the freshly made pancakes.
He was a little overwhelmed by this enthusiasm. He looked at Tang Youyou, only to see her brows raised slightly, but she didn't say anything.
“Thank you…thank you…”
"Hmm... we should help each other, it's our duty!"
"No need to be polite when you're out and about!"
Everyone was so warm and humble, which made him doubt for a moment: didn't his father always say that peasants were hard to mess with, like scoundrels? Why didn't this seem like it?
So, in the following days, Li Hongyuan was well cared for. There were people to help him when he was tired, he didn't need to work, and he had a full meal every day.
He felt a little embarrassed and secretly swore in his heart that he would never be able to repay the great kindness and would do everything he could to help them settle down.
However, a new situation arose when they were still a hundred miles away from Nanzhou.
A member of the Liu clan vomited violently.
After examining him, Doctor Xiong frowned, "Did he eat something unclean?"
He quickly grabbed the medicine and gave it to the person.
But at night, the man suddenly developed a high fever and foamed at the mouth. At the same time, several people also began to vomit and have diarrhea.
Tang Youyou was shocked and called the Liu clan leader and Doctor Xiong.
She got straight to the point: "I suspect it's plague!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Patriarch Liu staggered and almost fell.
"Uncle Liu, I'm just suspicious too!"
The two men set their eyes on Doctor Xiong. He thought for a few breaths, then slapped his thigh and said, "Forgive my lack of knowledge and experience. I don't know how to solve this problem!"
"My dear niece, what should we do? We have finally arrived here, are we all going to die here?"
"Uncle Liu, right now we have no choice but to speed up our progress and figure out a solution once we reach Nanzhou."
"Yes... maybe I just have a stomachache," he comforted himself.
"Let those with symptoms walk at the back, and from now on everyone should cover their mouths and noses with cloth." The weather is hot, and this is the only way now.
She asked the system, but there was no permission for this medicine. She thought that the plague was inevitable, and she could only protect herself.
More and more people were infected. Tang Youyou gritted her teeth and discussed with the system.
"If I get infected and die, what good will it do you? We are in this together."
He knew that the previous customer service was just a system, and he kept nagging regardless.
Until a "Shut up" sounded.
She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her goal had been achieved.
At this moment, the system felt like a thousand horses were galloping through its mind. It finally had a chance to take a break, but this guy kept nagging and it hadn't even finished watching its videos. It was so annoying.
[Well... the mall can't solve it... ahem... you can post a quest! ]
The sound behind was very small, but Tang Youyou heard it and slapped his forehead. That's right, is he suffering from Alzheimer's?
I decisively filled in the task posting area: [Collecting ancient prescriptions to treat plague. Symptoms: vomiting and diarrhea, followed by high fever...]
I was in a dilemma about the commission. Money was definitely not an option. Suddenly I thought of the Polygonum multiflorum I had mentioned before. I filled it out with some heartache and added the word "urgent"!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully publishing the first mission. You can enter the lucky draw once! ]
Tang Youyou was stunned. What was going on in this mall? It didn't follow the rules at all, and there was even a surprise? Could there be a Chinese herbal medicine recipe?
I silently said to myself, start, end.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the Thousand Grass Record! ]
She wanted to curse: What the hell is he trying to do? Are he going to grow his own herbs? I don't even want to study medicine, so a Hundred Herbs Record is enough. Why a Thousand Herbs Record?
She was speechless, but she never knew that Qiancao Lu would unexpectedly save her life in the future.
