Chapter 398 Doctor Mu
"Um, what's your name?"
"Marshal Bai, my name is Chang'an."
"Changan, you go back first. I can go back by myself later."
"Oh, all right then!"
Chang'an turned and left, and Bai Li entered the house.
"Girl, I'd rather you didn't have to use my medicine."
Inside, Doctor Mu had already started packing up various bottles and jars, which seemed to be prepared for Bai Li.
"Doctor Mu, if you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet.
But my injuries were minor, and most of the medicine was given to the soldiers."
"Alas, these days, there are wars everywhere, with so many casualties, it's hard for ordinary people to live a peaceful life!"
"Doctor Mu, I believe that with the military and civilians united as one, we will soon have peaceful days!"
"I hope so!"
Doctor Mu collected twenty or thirty bottles and several large bags of medicine powder, and finally found a piece of blue cloth to wrap them up.
"These pills and powders are labeled with their uses and dosages. Just take them as needed."
"Okay, this is some spring water I accidentally found deep in the mountains. It's clear and sweet. I'll use it to prepare the medicinal herbs for you. I'm sure it will be more effective."
Bai Li, as if by magic, had a bamboo tube in his hand that was as thick as his thigh, and it was filled with clear water.
Doctor Mu took it doubtfully, and without asking her where the water came from, he was immediately shocked by its clarity!
He dipped his finger in the water and brought it to his mouth, licking it with his tongue. His eyes lit up and he immediately found a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and drank it down.
After drinking it, he let out a comfortable sigh.
"Which mountain did you get this water from? Is it far away?"
"This is on an unknown hilltop in Simon. I was leading my troops there when I stumbled upon it and brought some back.
If I go there again now, I might not even be able to find that place!"
This water is the stream water in the space. Bai Li felt that it has medicinal properties, so he specially took some for Doctor Mu to try.
But there were no extraction and testing instruments in her space, and she only knew simple medical knowledge, so she simply gave it to a professional to judge.
"What a shame, what a shame! If only we could continue to use it!"
"Uh, does this water have such a big effect?"
Bai Li felt a little guilty, as she was the one who thought the water had medicinal properties, and now she was the one who was suspicious.
However, Doctor Mu did not think about these things. His mind and eyes were now filled with the bamboo tube mountain spring water.
He held the bamboo tube tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away.
"These are enough for me to make a lot of pills. Next time you have a chance, remember to bring me some water... Oh no, just tell me where it is and I'll get it myself."
"so far away!"
Bai Li exclaimed subconsciously, then said, "Well, next time I'll find a place and ask someone to fetch the spring water, so you don't have to make such a long trip!"
Doctor Mu glared at her and said, "When digging herbs, you must leave the roots; they will grow again in the spring breeze.
By the same token, when drawing water, one should never exhaust the source, and always leave a way out.”
"Okay, okay, then I'll leave some and won't take it all."
When the old man glared at him, Bai Li's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, when this old man gets a stern face, he’s scarier than her father.
"If you don't have anything to do, just come back. I don't have time to greet you!"
Old man, don't be so impatient to destroy the bridge after crossing it!
"We've already made the payment. Don't tell other doctors about the spring water!"
Old Man Mu gave her some instructions, stuffed the big bag into her arms, and then pushed her out of the house.
"Bang!"
The door closed behind Bai Li, and the corners of Bai Li's mouth twitched. This old man was really rude.
When giving her the medicine, he stuffed it all in her pocket and paid for it as he pleased.
Is it because Bai Li gave him enough money to last him a lifetime that he is so crazy about money now?
This is good too, everyone gets what they need and no one owes anything to anyone.
Just as Bai Li was about to take a step toward the door, several heads in the nearby rooms shrank back.
Bai Li chuckled. Look how scared they are. The marshal is also a human being. Is she that scary?
After throwing the big bag into the space, Bai Li left the place.
The sun was setting, and she was about to walk back across the drill ground with a brisk pace.
Suddenly, she was attracted by a series of familiar figures.
"Dad, Uncle Ji, are you here?"
"Girl, your father was looking for you just now, where did you go?"
This was not a battlefield, and Ji Huanan did not regard her as a marshal and started scolding her as soon as they met.
"Uncle Ji, you must have had such a hard journey. No wonder you're so angry!"
Bai Li smiled and also argued with him seriously.
"Li'er, what's going on with the Chi tribe?"
Bai Zongren heard the voice and came over after giving his subordinates a few instructions.
"Have you seen Fan Jian?"
Bai Li frowned. According to her father's marching route, they shouldn't pass by that mountain.
“We encountered the Chi tribe at the foot of a mountain. We were being chased by a group of white-haired men. Among them, a man named Ai San saw that we were from the Great Zhou army and sent us a call for help.
I didn't want to pay any attention to it, but he said he knew you and Da Diao, so I helped him."
"Dad, this is a long story. Let's go into the meeting room and talk about it."
Bai Li had a vague guess in his mind, fearing that the witch doctor's ice tribe had arrived.
After an incense stick of time, everyone sat down in the conference room. Bai Li sat at the head of the table, scanning everyone.
Seeing that everyone was present, she let her father Bai Zongren speak first.
Bai Zongren talked about saving the Chi tribe, and then said: "Those white-haired weirdos are not good at martial arts, but they know a lot of crooked ways, and we almost suffered a loss.
But seeing that we were outnumbered, they feinted a few times and ran away!"
“Dad, the people of the Chi tribe are worth saving.
They were originally invited by Laos to provide support, but after my advice, they settled down in the mountains and came to Qianxi half a month later.
Bai Li then described in detail his encounter with the Chi tribe and mentioned the mountain with miasma.
"So, the people of the Chi tribe are quite smart."
Ji Huanan interjected.
"Dad, the Ice Tribe should also be Laotian reinforcements. How many people are there?"
"We encountered a group of about a thousand people. I heard from the people of the Chi tribe that the Bing tribe must have mobilized all its people!"
"They're trying to cut off the source of the trouble!"
"The Ice Tribe and the Chi Tribe, they both come from the same place. They are outsiders!"
When Bai Li said this, Bai Zongren stood up in shock.
"What! People from outside the domain have come to Da Zhou?"
Bai Li nodded. Based on what the witch doctor had said before and what the Chi tribe had told him now, he had roughly guessed it.
"Dad, people from outside this realm know a lot of evil magic, so you should be careful when you encounter them in the future."
"Before, it was just a legend outside the domain, but I never thought it was true."
Ji Huanan's face showed worry. "Legend has it that people from outside the region are eight feet tall, with red and white fur, eyes like copper bells, and mouths like gaping basins that can swallow an adult in one gulp!"
