Chapter 345 Finding Medicinal Materials
Su Zui was worried about her going to the mountain behind alone, so he decided to accompany her.
"What medicinal herbs do you want? I'll go dig them with you, or you can tell Qiu Feng what herbs they are and let him find them!"
Su Zui felt no guilt in ordering his subordinates around, as it would not do to tire his wife out anyway.
Qiu Feng's mouth twitched. "Madam, please tell me what medicinal herbs you want. I will dig them for you."
When did the master become so shameless?
He doesn't even know what medicinal herbs are, okay?
Lu Yaoyao waved her hand, "No need! You will only be a burden to me if you go, and you don't know the herbs I need, so just wait at home!"
The medicinal herb 'Stone Heart' needs to be found in special stones.
This special stone has formed a heart-like stone core over time. This stone core is a rare and good medicinal material.
She had seen this kind of stone in the back mountain of Wangjia Village.
In the past, Lu Yaoyao had never learned medicine from Grandpa Lu, so she naturally didn't know anything about medicinal herbs. When she encountered that kind of stone, she just treated it as an ordinary stone and threw it away without paying any attention to it.
Lu Yaoyao went to the back mountain with a backpack on her back. The snow was very thick and it was difficult to walk.
Lu Yaoyao followed her memory to find the cave made of that kind of stone.
The mountain behind Wangjia Village is a very large mountain range, but there are very few trees because the villagers cut down the trees for firewood.
People nowadays do not understand the importance of protecting forests by cutting down a tree and planting another one. They just keep cutting down trees blindly, which has led to these huge mountains becoming bare.
Only in the center of the mountains are there some sparse trees.
Hunters from Wangjia Village also come to this mountain to hunt, but they dare not go deep into the mountains, as the small animals on the outskirts have almost been hunted to extinction.
Even though it is winter now, some small animals need to come out to find food. However, we didn't see a single pheasant along the way.
Lu Yaoyao didn't care whether there was prey or not, and ran straight to the cave in her memory.
The cave is very hidden and was discovered by Lu Yaoyao by accident.
When she first married Wang Hechuan, Lu Yaoyao was forced by her mother-in-law to go hunting in the back mountain to get some prey for Wang Hechuan to replenish his body.
Lu Yaoyao went to the back mountain without any objection. Since she was a woman and didn't know how to hunt, she thought it would be a good idea to find some pheasant eggs.
Just as she was looking for prey, she missed a step and rolled down the hillside. The cave was just below the hillside.
She saw that the stones in the cave looked very beautiful, so she remembered that place.
It took Lu Yaoyao a long time to find the cave.
The cave was not very big, and Lu Yaoyao's fat body could just fit in through the entrance.
"This cave looks like it's this big."
Lu Yaoyao crawled in, but she couldn't stretch her whole body because the hole was too small.
Ignoring the crowded cave, he began to dig out the stones on the cave wall.
She could tell at a glance what a stone with a stone heart looked like.
Using a small pickaxe, we dug out more than ten stone cores in total, and all the stone cores in the cave were dug out.
With these stones, those people's illnesses can be completely cured.
Lu Yaoyao was carrying a stone down the mountain. When she passed by a trap, she found that there was no prey inside, but there was a person.
The man was pierced through the thigh by the bamboo sword in the trap.
Lu Yaoyao recognized this man. He was a hunter in the village and one of the few people who had good intentions towards her.
"Uncle Qi, don't move, I'll rescue you." Lu Yaoyao put down the backpack and planned to go down to rescue people.
Qi Huan had fallen into the cave for a long time and he thought he would freeze to death here.
I didn't expect there were still people on the mountain. "Yaoyao girl, don't come down! If you come down, we can't get out. Please go back and call someone to save me."
Qi Huan was also a little surprised when he saw that it was Lu Yaoyao.
This girl was divorced, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. Now she lives alone and no one knows what will happen in the future.
How could he let a girl risk her life to save him?
"It's okay! I can take you out." Lu Yaoyao jumped out of the trap and checked his injuries first.
Fortunately, only one bamboo sword was stuck in the thigh. If the whole person fell in, the dense bamboo swords inside would directly penetrate the person.
"Uncle Qi, luckily you only pierced your thigh. Just go back and apply some medicine."
Lu Yaoyao tapped his leg a few times to seal the acupoints, then pulled out the bamboo sword.
Blood was gushing from her thigh. Lu Yaoyao took out a pill, crushed it and sprinkled it on the wound.
The blood was stopped instantly.
"Girl, you also know medicine?" Qi Huan was surprised.
He never knew that this girl actually knew medicine. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't she be very popular?
Lu Yaoyao helped Qi Huan up. "My father's medical skills are very good. I have learned medicine from him since I was a child. My medical skills are better than his, but he stopped practicing medicine very early."
What she said was half truth and half lie.
Her father did know medical skills, but he stopped practicing medicine before she could remember, so many people didn't know that he knew medical skills.
Qi Huan thought to himself, what a good girl! Even though she is not good looking, she will not have a hard time in the future as she has medical skills.
If the Wang family knew that the daughter-in-law they divorced was a highly skilled doctor, would they regret it to death?
In this world, doctors who are skilled in medicine are highly respected.
"Uncle Qi, I'll take you out." While Lu Yaoyao was speaking, she jumped out of the trap with a big man.
Qi Huan was still confused when he came out of the trap, "Girl, do you know Kung Fu?"
Lu Yaoyao nodded, "Yes! I knew how to do it before, but after I married Wang Hechuan, they were afraid that I was too strong and I knew martial arts, so they added muscle softening powder to my food, which slowly dissipated my martial arts strength."
"After being divorced, I healed myself and my power has been restored."
In the past, Lu Yaoyao had no medical skills or martial arts skills, but only brute force.
When you speak, you have to be half-truthful so that people will believe you more easily.
Qi Huan believed it completely and gritted his teeth in anger, "Wang Hechuan's family is so ungrateful! How dare they treat you like this? If Master Lu were still alive, how heartbroken would he be to know that you suffered so much?"
Lu Yaoyao held the backpack in one hand and held Qi Huan with the other, and the two of them supported each other as they went down the mountain.
"Uncle Qi, that's all in the past. One day those people will pay the price!"
"You can't drag on with this injury any longer. I'll help you back."
The two of them walked down the mountain, one step deep and one step shallow.
The snow was too thick and the road was too slippery, so the two of them crawled and rolled for most of the day before they could get down the mountain.
Lu Yaoyao first sent Qi Huan back to his home. Uncle Qi's wife and children were at home.
"Aunt Qi, I've already applied medicine to Uncle Qi's leg injury. He needs to take the medicine for a few more days. Wait for Brother Ting to go get the medicine from me, boil it, and drink it."
Brother Ting is the child of Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi, and he is only ten years old this year.
Aunt Qi wiped her tears and said, "Okay! Thank you so much, Yaoyao! If it weren't for you, your uncle Qi would..."
She didn't dare to think that if her man had not been rescued, he would have frozen to death that night.
Fortunately, I met Lu Yaoyao.
"You're welcome! You and Uncle Qi have taken care of me so much in the past. How could I just ignore something like this?"
"I'll go back first and prepare medicine for Uncle Qi."
Lu Yaoyao left with the backpack on her back.
