Chapter 36: It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one’s nature!
Although she was drunk at the time, she was still a little sober. When she caught Ran Qingxuan, she knelt down and begged for mercy and cried bitterly. She looked completely different from the person he saw now.
The words she said were thought-provoking, and every word revealed her unique insights and wisdom.
Not only that, Ran Qingxuan also has the ability to empty the national treasury, the weapon she used to kill Deng Zhuo, and even her sudden disappearance and reappearance...
Thing after thing, he couldn't figure out how Ran Qingxuan did it.
Gu Yanchen also thought that she might not be Ran Qingxuan, but he knew better what kind of person Ran Xiuxian was. He was a person who would not care about his face at all for the sake of his own selfish desires, wealth and glory.
If Ran Qingxuan had really been caught up in the rumors of bed-climbing, Ran Xiuxian would have definitely rushed to help the emperor make it happen.
Sacrifice a "shameless" daughter for the sake of justice for the whole family, Ran Xiuxian will not let go of such an opportunity!
Just as Gu Yanchen's thoughts were becoming more and more confused, Ran Qingxuan passed by him and checked his injuries.
"It got caught in the rain, so the area around the wound is a little red, but it's not a big problem."
After saying that, Gu Yanchen saw her take something out of the package at her feet.
Ran Qingxuan poured a bowl of water and handed the white anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand to his mouth.
"This medicine can prevent fever. Just let Brother Chen change you into clean clothes later."
Ran Qingxuan's eyes were bright, just as he had seen them before.
The thought of doubting Ran Qingxuan gradually dissipated, and Gu Yanchen opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine she brought to his mouth.
"Thanks!"
Feeling a little puzzled, Ran Qingxuan tilted his head and gave a wicked smile.
"What are you thanking me for? I've already seen it, and you're still being polite to me!"
"you..."
Almost choking on the remaining water in his mouth, Gu Yanchen felt that Ran Qingxuan was a person who could not change his nature. When he thought of something, his whole face turned red in an instant.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I have something else to do and need to find the police. Let Brother Chen help you change into clean clothes first."
After saying that, he ignored Gu Yanchen's gnashing teeth and started rummaging inside the package.
There were quite a few tents in the space, but taking them out would be too eye-catching. In order not to appear too abrupt, Ran Qingxuan found a waterproof mat and took it out.
Upon learning that they were going to help Gu Yanchen change his clothes, the women from the Gu and Chen families all moved forward to avoid suspicion.
But Chen Zhao had not eaten breakfast or lunch, and he had just run out to look for herbs. He was a little overwhelmed when moving Gu Yanchen, and he couldn't do it even with Ran Qingxuan's help.
"We're here to help you."
When they were at a loss, Xiao Hongyi and his eldest son Xiao Wende stepped forward and together they carefully lifted Gu Yanchen up.
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan quickly spread out the waterproof mat and laid it out. While they were not paying attention, he took out a complete set of men's clothes from the package and placed it aside.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your help. The wound on his leg is quite deep. Please be careful."
Chen Zhao smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will watch carefully."
It was a very normal sentence, but Ran Qingxuan always felt that Chen Zhao's eyes were saying "I understand"...
Ran Qingxuan took out a whole set of clothes for Gu Yanchen to change. It was really inconvenient for the female relatives to wait here, so Ran Qingxuan simply called them to go together and prepare to pick some herbs in case of emergency.
Because of the previous incident with the heartbreak grass, the officials did not stop Ran Qingxuan from collecting herbs. Qian Zheng only symbolically warned her not to leave the team too far and let her go.
In addition to Madam Gu and the women of the Chen family, Chen Chengping also went with them to collect herbs. After all, he was familiar with most of the plants, and having him help identify them saved them a lot of time.
The weather is now hot and cold, and Ran Qingxuan searched for about half an hour, but only found plantain, licorice, and honeysuckle, which are not very effective.
This was not the same result as she had expected. After all, the weather on the road of exile would only get colder and colder, and people would inevitably catch typhoid fever and cold.
If she had to take out modern medicine from the space every time, it would inevitably be noticed. Once asked, she would have to think about whether the excuses she made were reasonable.
If there aren’t enough medicinal materials, we won’t be able to produce finished medicine directly when the time comes.
Just when she was at a loss, Chen's father called her from the side, unfolded the small package on his back and showed it to her.
"Uncle Chen, you are amazing. You have collected so many herbs in such a short time."
Ran Qingxuan was delighted when he saw that most of the medicines in the box were for treating phlegm, cough, cold and flu.
In this way, as long as she could get these herbs through a clear route, she wouldn't have to worry about getting the medicine out later.
Just as they were feeling happy, the women of the Gu family who had walked further away also came back, each of them holding a bunch of licorice and honeysuckle in their hands.
Since there was no rush to go back, Chen Chengping began to teach the women of the Gu family how to identify the medicinal herbs they were unfamiliar with.
"We'll sort them and dry them on the road so we can use them later."
Sister-in-law Zhou Furong, together with her two younger siblings, picked out the ones they knew first, but when she reached out to take a honeysuckle, she was stopped by Chen Chengping beside her.
"Zhou, put it down quickly. This is not honeysuckle."
Zhou Furong was puzzled, so she picked up the separated ones and compared them.
“Isn’t this the same thing?”
"The one you have in your hand is Gelsemium elegans, which is very similar to Honeysuckle, but has different effects!"
Upon hearing this, sister-in-law Zhou Furong immediately threw away the heartbreak grass in her hand, but Chen Chengping picked it up carefully.
"Uncle, if it's poisonous, why don't you just throw it away? Why did you pick it up?"
"Although this herb is poisonous, it will only be fatal if taken directly. If applied externally, it can treat many diseases, not just harming people."
Ran Qingxuan glanced sideways and said in surprise: "Uncle Chen, you actually know so much. We definitely can't tell the difference."
It was the first time that Chen Chengping was praised by a junior, and he immediately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this, the third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er smiled happily.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my sixth brother and sister-in-law. My father said he worked in the Ministry of Industry, but in fact he was sent to various places to inspect paddy fields and farming all year round. He dealt with fields and crops all year round, so he must be very familiar with them!"
"What's so funny about this? People like my uncle are the most pragmatic, much more capable than those who can only talk big in the court.
Farmland is the foundation of all people. Without food from the land, we would all starve to death! ”
Chen Chengping didn't expect that Ran Qingxuan would actually understand all this, and what she said was also what Chen Chengping was thinking.
At that moment, Chen Chengping seemed to have found a soulmate. He changed his usual silent image and started talking to Ran Qingxuan.
The third sister-in-law knew that her father would never stop talking about things related to the fields, but she didn't expect that Ran Qingxuan also knew so much. The two of them talked back and forth, and no one could get a word in.
As a result, it was not until the police came to look for them that they walked back together.
When a man came back with a large pile of herbs, the officials were dumbfounded.
However, when I thought that these herbs might come in handy, I didn't mind them being away for too long.
