Zhang Jiuyue was stunned: "What for?"
Fu Song didn't wait for her to speak, but instead unzipped his trouser legs and gently rubbed her ankles.
Zhang Jiuyue blushed and subconsciously tried to retract her foot. Fu Song said, "Don't move. This is something I learned from Lao Lu. It can help you recover as soon as possible."
The scene instantly became quiet, and there was even some strange emotion.
Zhang Jiuyue's eyes were wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Fu Song sensed something was wrong and tried to break the silence: "You said that fever-reducing herb is called 'Buwang'. Why does it have such a strange name?"
Zhang Jiuyue was indeed attracted by his topic: "The name 'Forget-Me-Not Grass' is not strange!
It comes from Sima Xiangru's "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix":
There is a beauty, I will never forget her.
If I don't see you for a day, I miss you like crazy.
The forget-me-not grass refers to the 'never forget' in this poem.
Fu Song said bewilderedly: "There is a beautiful woman, who I will never forget after seeing her?
Does it mean, 'You've seen a beautiful woman and you've got a fever all over your body, forget-me-nots can help you get rid of it'?"
"Uh..." Zhang Jiuyue shook his head, "I don't know.
Anyway, it's called 'Buwang', and the old Chinese doctor told me that this herb can reduce fever."
Fu Song shook his head. He guessed that the person who named this herb probably just liked "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" and named it casually.
After what happened last night, Fu Song simply lay down next to Wendy so that he could observe her condition.
As for Zhang Jiuyue, she lay silently beside Fu Song, but when Fu Song wanted to use his arms to give her a sense of security, she sternly refused.
After Wendy ate the forget-me-not herb, her condition stabilized again, and she regained some consciousness the next day.
But that was all. She could hear Fu Song talking to her.
Fu Song wanted her to sit up, but she struggled for a long time and still failed.
Another day passed. On this day, Fu Song not only boiled medicine and fed the patients, but also ran to the seaside to pick up shells.
There is no need to think about sea fish. To eat sea fish, one must take a boat and go deep into the water. Fu Song doesn't have the time for that.
The shell meat was also very good, and Fu Song even caught a crab.
In the evening, Fu Song became worried again.
Wendy was still in the same condition as this morning, not worse, but not better either.
Zhang Jiuyue suddenly said, "This is because the medicine is not effective enough."
Fu Song was stunned: "The medicine is not effective enough? What do you mean?"
"It's simple. For 'Forget-Me-Not', it takes more than five years to have a good fever-reducing effect.
But the 'Forget-Me-Nots' we pick are only three years old at most. Although three years and five years may look similar, the effects are worlds apart."
Fu Song: "Is that so? In that case, I'll go back tomorrow and look for the five-year-old 'Forget-Me-Not' you mentioned."
But Zhang Jiuyue said, "Don't look for it anymore. There's no five-year-old 'Forget-Me-Not' anywhere else."
"No? Then where are they?"
"On the top of that mountain."
At this point, Zhang Jiuyue's face was full of worry, "I've observed before, the top of that mountain is all smooth stone walls, it's very dangerous.
It is almost impossible for people without mountaineering experience to climb up.
If you miss a step, you will at least break bones and tendons.
Furthermore, the five-year-old 'Forget-Me-Not' grass has an unparalleled attraction to the Yanqiu Snake. Even if you manage to pick it, you will definitely be attacked by the Yanqiu Snake on your way back."
