Curious, Ye Wenxue went over to take a look and found a large pit with a white-robed, ethereal-looking man sitting inside.
His foot seemed to be injured, bleeding profusely, and his face grew increasingly pale.
Beside the man was a small cloth bag containing several herbs, one of which could cure high fever.
Ye Wenxue glanced at the man, then at the little round baby in her arms, and felt a strange sense of absurdity: "..."
Little Yuanyuan gesticulated wildly, insisting that she witnessed the person fall!
Ye Wenxue squatted down by the pit and called out, "Brother, I'll save you. Can you give me the herbs from your bag?"
The man in white looked up in surprise.
brother?
What kind of ridiculous name is this?
He clutched the cloth bag and shook his head: "No, I need these herbs to save people."
Compared to aimlessly searching all over the mountains, the herbs at the bottom of the pit are almost readily available.
After being rejected by the man, Ye Wenxue didn't ask any more questions. She tore off a piece of vine and prepared to take action directly.
Rob.
At worst, we can just give them some silver as payment for the herbs.
Ye Wenxue tied one end of the vine to a tree that was still alive and threw the other end into the pit.
The man in white had injured his ankle and was slow to react, almost getting hit in the face by a vine.
He thought Ye Wenxue had put down the vine to save him, and swallowed his anger in frustration.
"Miss, no need to trouble yourself. I injured my ankle and can't climb up right now. Please wait for me..."
Ye Wenxue ignored his nonsense, grabbed the vine and jumped into the pit, nimbly snatching the cloth bag.
While the man was still in a daze, she kicked her feet against the sides of the pit a few times to gain leverage and quickly climbed up.
Ye Wenxue sat by the pit, rummaging through the cloth bag: "...Agastache? Peppermint? Goji berries? Is that all?"
The man in white was shocked by her swift movements, and before he could react, he heard her voice of disdain.
What's even more infuriating is that there's a small, incessant "ya ya ya" sound echoing it from the side.
He laughed in exasperation.
What does 'just these few items' mean?
In the sweltering heat, even drought-resistant crops and vegetation are scarce.
The reason he was able to gather so many herbs was not only because of his rich experience in herb gathering, but also because of his exceptionally good luck, which only comes around once every ten years!
This man forcibly snatched the cloth bag containing his herbs from him and even showed his disdain to his face, which was really going too far.
Just as the man in white was about to speak, a cloth bag came crashing down on his face.
He hurriedly dodged to avoid getting mud from the cloth bag in his eyes, when he heard the woman on the embankment say bluntly:
Thank you.
Afterwards, the footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
The man in white opened the cloth bag and looked inside. Several herbs used to treat high fever and reduce fever had been taken away, but the other herbs were intact.
He was about to hurl a few curses when he suddenly noticed three extra copper coins at the bottom of the cloth bag.
The man in white had a complicated expression: "..."
I feel even more like cursing now.
With just a few copper coins, who are they trying to humiliate?
He sighed when he caught a glimpse of the vines hanging by the cave.
Well, the herbs were gathered to save lives anyway.
There were no patients with high fever or typhoid fever in the village.
Consider it an act of kindness for the day.
Ye Wenxue also felt that she was doing a good deed every day.
The silver was given, the cloth bag was returned, and the vine that helped them climb out of the pit was left behind.
Is there anyone who acts more appropriately than her?
No.
Spending so much time with the kids softened Ye Wenxue's heart considerably.
Back when we were on missions and had no supplies, we would just rob the enemy; there was no reason to return them or give them money back.
They left the man in white with silver and a way to survive.
This is a major step forward.
Her thoughts raced like a tide, but Ye Wenxue's steps never faltered as she hurried back to the valley.
Even Xiao Yuanyuan seemed to know the situation was urgent and didn't make a sound to bother her.
In the valley,
After drinking the grayish-brown hot water, Dazhuang felt much better.
He listened to his mother and changed the wet cloths for himself and his younger siblings several times.
When the coolness returned to his forehead, he sluggishly recalled Ye Wenxue saying that the cave was damp, cool, and poorly ventilated.
Dazhuang looked at the glaring sun outside the cave, discussed a few words with Shuangshuang, and then laboriously carried Sanyuan and Siwang out of the cave, found a suitable place to put them down, so that they were not completely exposed to the sun.
The goose followed closely behind the group, as if it were protecting them, or perhaps it was looking for grass to eat.
They carried buckets of cold water and changed the wet cloths tied around the foreheads of the group.
She sat down weakly, basking in the sun and breathing in the air outside the cave, sweat slowly seeping from her back.
"Brother, why does my stomach feel empty and painful?"
Almost simultaneously, both of their stomachs rumbled.
Da Zhuang spoke slowly, "I'm afraid they're hungry."
Shuangshuang suddenly remembered the hot soup her mother was keeping warm on the stove: "Let's save some for Mom, so she can eat some to regain her strength."
Dazhuang was hungry, dizzy, and weak. He was afraid that someone would suddenly break in and he was powerless to resist, so he did not object.
Ye Wenxue quickly crossed two mountain peaks, and seeing that more than half an hour had passed, she felt a little uneasy.
Fearing that her frail children would cry themselves to death, she rushed back to the valley without taking a break, only to be greeted by a fragrant aroma.
...She's quite good at taking care of herself.
Ye Wenxue forced herself to come to the cleared space, and with four innocent big eyes, she put Yuanyuan in the basket and let her play by herself.
After washing the herbs again, I started boiling them in batches.
Only then did I have time to sit down and rest.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and face, gesturing for the four little ones to continue eating.
After the fever subsided, Ye Wenxue reached out again to feel the foreheads of the children.
Hmm... I've been in the sun for too long, I can't get out.
