Chapter 61 Ridiculous Ideas 2
From Gu Leyou's thatched hut, the mother and son prepared to go back home.
She was thinking about it all the way.
They all say that the forest near the village is full of negative energy. What is the story behind this forest?
Also, might there be some rare medicinal herbs in there? The young doctor is a very cautious person, so he has never been there.
It seems I have to not tell anyone yet, maybe I can get some unexpected gains if I go there myself.
So, two days later, the sun was shining brightly.
After breakfast, she sent her child to her parents' home and went to the barren woods outside the village alone.
The wild forest was indeed eerie and scary, but she still plucked up the courage to walk in.
As soon as you step into the woods, the smell of rotten leaves mixed with dampness hits you in the face, and the dead branches and leaves under your feet make a "crunching" sound, which is particularly harsh in this quiet forest. Gu Leyou's heart beat faster, but he suppressed his fear and looked around carefully.
The light shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming dim beams of light that look like strange hands.
She carefully pushed aside the bushes, and suddenly, a hare darted out, startling her so much that she almost screamed.
When she recovered, she found a few familiar herbs where the hare had escaped, but their color was darker than usual.
She squatted down and was about to pick them, but she heard a faint rustling sound not far away, like someone whispering, or like the sound of the wind.
Gu Leyou held his breath, slowly stood up and followed the sound.
When she got closer, she saw that it was actually an underground river. The water was glowing dimly and flowing slowly. In the mud beside the river bank, there grew a "dark blue grass" that she had only seen in ancient books and that could cure all kinds of poisons.
Just as she reached out to pick them with joy, the river suddenly splashed with water, and a dark shadow broke through the water and rushed towards her.
In panic, Gu Leyou took a few steps back and took a closer look. She saw a python as thick as a bucket, spitting out its tongue and staring at her coldly, obviously thinking she was an enemy who had trespassed into its territory.
Gu Leyou quickly calmed down, looked around, picked up a thick branch as a weapon, and confronted the python.
The python took the initiative, holding its head high and biting towards her fiercely. Gu Leyou dodged to the side and swung the branch to hit the python hard.
After several rounds, the python was enraged and its attacks became more fierce, but Gu Leyou was able to prevent it from succeeding thanks to his agility.
Taking advantage of the gap in the python's attack, Gu Leyou seized the opportunity, ran to the blue grass, and quickly pulled it up by the roots. Seeing this, the python roared angrily and rushed forward again desperately.
Gu Leyou held the herbs tightly and ran out of the woods with all his might. She didn't know how long she ran until the sound of the python chasing her gradually disappeared. She then collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her heart filled with joy for having harvested rare herbs.
Fortunately, the orchid was fine, otherwise my trip would have been in vain, and I would have risked my life.
No wonder they were all unwilling to go to this forest; it turned out to be so dangerous.
Because when she came back, she felt very tired, so she didn't go to her parents' house to pick up the child. After returning home, she went back to her bedroom to rest.
Unfortunately, she also had a high fever this afternoon.
When Lu Yan came back from outside, he realized something was wrong when he heard that she didn't respond after calling her for a long time.
My forehead was terribly hot when I touched it.
My wife has a fever. Could it be that she caught a cold from staying in the cold nights these past few days?
That’s not right. You’re wearing thick clothes, so how could you have a fever?
He had no choice but to follow what his wife had taught him. He first fetched a basin of cold water, then threw the rake into the basin, and then wrung it dry before applying it to his wife's forehead.
Half an hour later, the lady's forehead was still very hot and the temperature had not dropped. It seemed that this physical cooling method was not feasible.
He had no choice but to ask the neighbor aunt to help look after his wife while he went to invite the young miracle doctor.
He ran all the way there.
Unfortunately, the young doctor had gone out to collect herbs and was not at home.
Where did this little miracle doctor go? His wife is still waiting for help.
So he simply waited in front of the thatched hut for a while.
Fortunately, the young doctor came back after collecting herbs and saw Lu Yan standing in front of his hut.
I knew someone in his family needed him again.
So before he could say anything, she took the initiative to ask, "Is your child's drug addiction relapsed?"
"No, this time it's my wife. My wife has a high fever. Come back to my house with me and take a look at my wife. This time it's very serious."
The young doctor did not dare to delay for a day and put down his herbal medicine, so he hurried to his house with Lu Yan.
When I saw the orchid in their yard, I guessed what was going on.
He treated Gu Leyou for a while, and then said, "You, my wife, are too stubborn to listen to advice. You have to take good care of her next time."
Lu Yan was completely confused by what the young doctor said.
"What do you mean? Did my wife do something wrong?"
"Your wife ran to that deserted forest and picked a herb that was said in ancient books to cure many poisons. I didn't dare to go to that forest because it was very scary. I didn't expect your wife to go there without saying hello. It's easy to lose her life there." The little doctor explained.
"Then why does my wife have a high fever now?" Lu Yan asked.
"That's because your wife saw some dirty things in that wild forest that she shouldn't have seen. She was seriously frightened and had a high fever."
When Lu Yan heard this, he was filled with regret and heartache, and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I was busy with chores these days and neglected her. I didn't expect that she would take risks alone."
The young doctor waved his hand, left a few prescriptions, instructed how to decoct and take the medicine, and then left.
Lu Yan stayed beside Gu Leyou's bed, looking at her red cheeks, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
When Gu Le woke up slowly and saw Lu Yan's bloodshot eyes, he felt warm and guilty.
Although Lu Yan had complaints, his words were gentle: "Silly wife, don't do this again. Although our family is not rich, if anything happens to you, what will happen to me and the children?"
Gu Leyou gently pulled his hand and smiled weakly, "I thought that if I could find some rare medicinal herbs, I could exchange them for some money, and I could also buy new clothes for the child and a pot of good wine for you.
I have returned safely and brought back the blue grass. I will never act rashly in the future. "Lu Yan held her hand tighter," Our family is together in peace, which is better than anything else. ”
After this incident, Gu Leyou took a long time to recuperate before he fully recovered.
She thought that she would tell her child about this experience in detail when he grew up, and that piece of barren forest became a thrilling past that the family would occasionally mention and sigh about.
