Chapter 1040: The condition worsens (I)
"How come you brought back so many medicinal herbs today?" After opening the door, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that Liu Biao and the other three not only had their backpacks filled with medicinal herbs, but they also had a large bundle of herbs on their shoulders, so she asked them.
"Today we found a sunny slope with a lot of medicinal herbs growing there, so we dug a lot today."
"Come in and put the herbs on the ground, then take a rest for a while."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao and the other three walked into the yard. Then they took the herbs off their bodies and put them on the ground, then sat down on the ground to rest.
They worked hard to dig medicinal herbs for a whole day today. Now their hands, waists, legs and whole bodies are sore. They are even more tired than carrying manure for a whole day. It seems that they need to rest at home for a day tomorrow, otherwise their bodies will definitely collapse.
"Would you like some water?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Biao and the other three.
"Yes, please help us pour the water, Master Xiao. We are so tired that we don't even want to move a finger."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Biao's words and saw them sitting on the ground weakly, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and then she went to the kitchen to pour them some water.
Liu Biao and the other three finally regained some strength after drinking the water that Lu Xiaoxiao poured for them. Now that they had strength, they naturally could not sit on the ground to rest. So they squatted in front of the medicinal herbs they had dug today, and then quickly began to sort them.
Half an hour later, Liu Biao and the other three sorted out all the herbs they had dug today. They said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Master Xiao, the herbs have been sorted."
"I'll go get the scale now." After saying this, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the main room.
"Brother Biao, I won't go to dig medicinal herbs tomorrow. I feel like my hands and feet are going to be useless." Liu Erdan said to Liu Biao.
"We don't want to go tomorrow. We are too tired today." Liu Gouzi and Er Shunzi quickly agreed after hearing Liu Erdan's words.
After Liu Biao heard what Liu Erdan and the other two said, he said to them, "Actually, I don't want to go tomorrow either. Even if you don't ask, I won't let you go tomorrow."
"Then we will rest at home for a day tomorrow, and go dig herbs the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, let's do as Erdan says."
Lu Xiaoxiao went to the main room and took out the scale, then handed it to Liu Biao and said to him, "You report the weight and I'll register it."
Liu Biao nodded after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, then he took the scale and started weighing the medicinal materials.
"Er Shunzi, fifteen pounds and six ounces."
"Liu Gouzi, 14 jin and 1 liang."
"Liu Erdan, 14 jin."
"Liu Biao, fifteen pounds."
"You have dug a lot of herbs today. Keep up the hard work tomorrow." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the numbers recorded on the notebook and said with satisfaction. According to the speed at which Liu Biao and his team were digging herbs, the herbs they dug in one month would be enough for her to use for a year.
"Uncle Xiao, we won't go digging for medicinal herbs tomorrow. We've worked too hard today and our bodies are almost exhausted. We need a day off tomorrow." Liu Biao spoke immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words. He was afraid that Lu Xiaoxiao would force them to go up the mountain to continue digging for medicinal herbs tomorrow.
"Okay, we'll go the day after tomorrow, but Er Shunzi, bring your parents here tomorrow so I can give them a few injections."
"Uncle Xiao, can you cure my parents' illness?" Er Shunzi asked excitedly when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"I'm not sure if they can be cured. Bring them here tomorrow. I'll need to check their pulses to make sure I can cure them."
