Chapter 359 It joined our family, not to break us up.
Fulin's eyes lit up instantly, and his gaze toward Xiao Subao became more excited.
Sure enough, I was right, this girl has a way!
Little Su Bao was confused, but seeing Fu Lin's somewhat excited eyes, she still shrank back a little.
Tang Bugui frowned and glanced at Fulin.
The latter seemed to sense Tang Bugui's displeasure and quickly looked away.
But I was still a little excited.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief, and didn't see any conflict between her father and Fu Lin.
She thought of what the mute old woman had done a long time ago and said softly, "That... the mute old woman used to sprinkle lime on the ground to disinfect it."
Fulin was taken aback, and his mind went blank for a moment.
lime?
Their Great Shang Kingdom naturally had lime, which was generally used in construction, for coating houses, repelling insects, disinfecting, and for burial purposes, etc.
Occasionally, a small amount of lime may be used for certain illnesses.
"Little Su Bao, tell Uncle Fu, is this lime meant to be taken internally or applied externally?" Fu Lin asked Little Su Bao earnestly.
Little Su Bao was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands.
"No, the mute old woman just poured lime powder at the door and inside the house of someone with the plague. They didn't need to eat it... If they accidentally ate too much, they'd turn into stars..."
Little Su Bao didn't know why the mute old woman did this, but she felt it was similar to sprinkling wine.
Fulin paused for a moment, pondering the matter.
Tang Bugui paused, but he was very curious about the mute old woman.
How come such a capable old woman has become mute?
He even went to the Lan family to serve them.
"Someone, go and get some quicklime!" he immediately ordered his men.
The clerk ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then turned and walked out.
Fu Lin looked at Xiao Su Bao, about to speak, when Tang Bugui interrupted him: "Don't talk while eating!"
Fu Lin looked at Tang Bugui, who was separating him from Xiao Su Bao, and rubbed his nose.
This matter is resolved, but there's still the medicine!
While eating, Xiao Su Bao secretly glanced at Tang Bugui and Fu Lin, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She finished all the millet rice in her bowl, then ate a small bowl of braised pork and other dishes before she was full.
Fulin had no time to rest that night; he ate something and then left.
Fu Manduo watched her father's departing figure with a pang of heartache. She pursed her lips, but there was nothing she could do.
"It's alright!" Su Yun ruffled Fu Manduo's hair, a determined look in her eyes.
"Sister Su, if you're worried, we'll come over and help!" Sanpang came over with a bright smile on his face.
Fu Manduo glanced at Sanpang and curled his lips as he watched him fawn over Sister Su.
but……
“We’re so young, don’t you know that the plague likes to target children? What if something happens to us?” Fu Manduo said to Sanpang, and then reached out to pull Su Yun over.
Kim Jong-un scratched his head, also at a loss for what to do.
The little ones were not allowed to go out and were kept in the courtyard by Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui looked at the little ones and sighed, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Xiao Lingzi, go..." Tang Bugui whispered a few words in Ling Buqi's ear.
The latter paused slightly, but quickly disappeared into the house.
Just then, a white rabbit, carrying something in its mouth, sneaked into Xiao Su Bao's house under the cover of night.
It accurately located Little Su Bao and spat out what it was carrying in its mouth onto Little Su Bao's bedside.
Looking at the sleeping little dumpling, I then lay down next to her.
Little Su Bao was completely unaware of this.
However, in the next instant, a white shadow darted in.
Little Tiaotiao also had something in its mouth. It glanced at Little Bell, hummed and whimpered, and then hung it around Little Su Bao's neck.
But that wasn't the end of it. Later that night, a one-eyed tiger was seen carrying a white tiger cub in its mouth, and the cub had something in its mouth...
Its noise was so loud that it finally woke Tang Bugui up in the yard.
Tang Bugui opened his eyes and dashed out in a flash.
Once outside, he and the one-eyed tiger locked eyes.
Then the one-eyed tiger bared its teeth at Tang Bugui, and before he could react, it threw the little white tiger into Tang Bugui's arms.
Tang Bugui...
The little white tiger gave Tang Bugui a pitiful look.
The guards had already rushed out, intending to duel the one-eyed tiger, but they hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
"Go down!" Tang Bugui said calmly to the guard.
As the guards disappeared, Tang Bugui saw the cute and pitiful little white tiger. Wasn't this thing in Tangjia Village?
Tang Bugui frowned, his sharp gaze landing on the little white tiger's mouth.
It was a blue flower!
He didn't recognize it, but he felt that the blue flower was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
After a pause, he still walked towards Xiao Su Bao's house.
She was originally going to stay with Xiao Su Bao, but the little girl refused and instead slept with Fu Man Duo and Su Yun.
Tang Bugui sighed and pushed open the door.
The room was somewhat dark. Tang Bugui walked to Xiao Su Bao's bedside, and then...
"Daddy..." Little Su Bao called out softly.
Tang Bugui paused, looking at the little dumpling with wide eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
He reached out and picked up the little guy. Fu Manduo and Su Yun, who were sleeping soundly, were not awake.
“You…” Tang Bugui looked at his daughter in the moonlight, wanting to say something, but then paused for a moment.
He saw two blades of grass by the little guy's bedside.
The grass was all blue.
It's exactly the same as what the little white tiger is holding in its mouth.
Little Su Bao sat up, and immediately two little ones appeared in her arms.
"Gah gah gah!" Little Bell glared angrily at Tang Bugui, then glared at the little tiger in his arms.
"Squeak!" Little Diaodiao raised its upper body and squealed twice at Tang Bugui, clearly displeased.
"Daddy, why aren't you sleeping? You're not feeling well, you need to sleep more!" Little Su Bao got up and grabbed the two little ones by the back of their necks with her two little hands.
He jumped off the bed in a few quick movements and walked towards Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui said softly to his daughter, "Father is fine, but what kind of flower is that by your bedside?"
Little Su Bao was taken aback, and then she said that she smelled a fragrance.
She turned her head...
Hmm, it's too dark, I can't see clearly.
You can only vaguely see a small thing.
"It looks familiar!" Little Su Bao leaned closer for a look, then paused, "Isn't this the little orchid on the hillside behind our house?"
Because there were so many of these small orchids, and they were not edible and not considered a medicinal herb, no one in the village had ever even looked at them.
The little dumpling had told Qian that these wild grasses only appeared this year; they hadn't been there before.
Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Su Bao's bewildered expression, reached out and patted her head, then picked up the three small orchids.
"Daddy, do you need this?" Little Su Bao asked him, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Tang Bugui remained silent, but he was also pondering why these wild beasts had brought the orchid.
Could it be...?
After a moment's thought, he said, "I suspect this thing can cure the plague!"
Tang Bugui did not hide the fact that his daughter was precocious and seemed different from other children.
He will not hide these things.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up with joy.
She was very worried during the day.
She had heard about the plague from her senior brother; it was very serious and would kill many people!
Little Su Bao couldn't bear it and was sad all day.
"How about... we give it a try?" Little Su Bao looked at Tang Bugui, her little face showing a hint of excitement.
Tang Bugui nodded as he looked at his daughter's excited expression.
Tang Bugui held his daughter in one arm and carried the little white tiger in the other, while his daughter carried two smaller animals.
As soon as they stepped out of the house, they saw a leopard carrying a large clump of small orchids in its mouth.
At its feet were three little creatures with mouthfuls of orchid grass.
Tang Bugui's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at his daughter!
Is their pet having a meeting?
"Meow meow meow!" The three little buns excitedly rushed towards Xiao Su Bao, dropping all the orchids from their mouths.
The three little ones ignored everything and just kept shouting at Xiao Su Bao with their heads tilted back.
Suddenly, the three little ones stopped barking, and then their gazes all fell on the white tiger cub. They meowed fiercely at the white tiger cub.
Tang Bugui pursed his lips, casually tossed the little white tiger among the three little ones, and picked up all the orchids on the ground.
Little Su Bao glanced at the little ones and said in her babyish voice, "Baozi, Xiao Bai Bai is here to join our big family, not to break us up. You can't fight!"
"Meow!" The little white tiger rubbed pitifully against Tang Bugui's leg, revealing a weak, pitiful, and easy-to-bully appearance.
This isn't a white tiger at all, it's clearly a little white kitten!
Little Su Bao looked at the pitiful little white cat... no, the little white tiger and felt a little soft-hearted.
"Big Baozi, Second Baozi, Third Baozi, you are the older brothers and sisters, so please don't bully Little White anymore, okay?"
If the three little ones could talk, they would definitely be cursing, but they can't.
Tang Bugui paused for a moment, looking at the pitiful little white tiger, and then reached out and picked it up.
"It does have a certain intelligence!"
He squinted, but his mind was still on that legend.
White Tiger!
Is chaos about to descend?
Thinking about the current plague and this year's weather, it's been a long time since it rained since spring.
He simply ignored it all, picked up Little Whitey, took the orchids that the mother leopard had brought, and led the group of little ones straight out.
"What are you all doing here?" Wang Mingtian returned, looking somewhat tired.
However, he didn't come back to rest, but to pick up some medicine.
There are so many people over there who have contracted the plague; by now, the number has exceeded five hundred!
Even if Wang Mingtian were alive, a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.
They have no medicine here now. The several medicines he obtained for treating the plague are effective, but the most important ingredient is missing.
"Master..." Little Su Bao looked at Wang Mingtian's tired face and whispered, "Master, don't you want to go and rest for a while?"
"No need..." Wang Mingtian waved his hand and said, "I just drank too much the night before last, I'll be fine after a while!"
As Wang Mingtian was about to leave after speaking, he suddenly noticed the orchid in Tang Bugui's hand.
“This… General Tang, how did you come to have Yunlan Grass? This thing is extremely rare, but it is a very important medicinal material for treating the plague. I’ve been worried about it!” After he finished speaking, he suddenly paused and his gaze fell on Xiao Su Bao.
Then, he also saw the small animals...
Wang Mingtian's lips twitched violently, and his eyelids almost jumped off.
God really favors this girl!
I'm so envious!
"Since it works, Doctor, take it!" Tang Bugui had originally planned to take the medicine and try it out, and now he was spared the trouble of wasting medicinal materials.
Wang Mingtian nodded and took all the cloud orchids.
Although the quantity is not large, this cloud orchid grass is a medicinal ingredient, and the amount used is not too much to begin with.
"Alas, it's a pity there's only this much. If only there were more!" Wang Mingtian sighed.
Then he turned to Xiao Su Bao and said, "The Cloud Orchid Grass is usually very rare, and each time it appears, there are at most ten or so plants. It's already quite remarkable that there are so many now!"
Little Su Bao looked at her master, then glanced at the cloud orchid grass, and thought about it carefully.
That's right, the hillside behind their house is covered with this kind of cloud orchid grass.
The little dumpling pursed its lips, and only after Wang Mingtian finished sighing did it say, "I know where it is!"
"Ah! There's already so much here, how come there's still more?" After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and then looked up at the sky.
This favoritism is too much; it's making him jealous.
"Hmm, there should still be quite a few!" Little Su Bao scratched his head and said with a slightly silly expression.
"Tell me where, and I'll go pick them!" Wang Mingtian rolled up his sleeves, his eyes full of excitement.
This cloud orchid can treat plague, but its companion grass is even more precious.
Little Su Bao said, "There's one halfway up the mountain behind our house..."
After a pause, the little dumpling saw that its master's expression had calmed down and was no longer so ferocious before saying, "They're all over the back mountain. We usually gather them to feed our chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs."
As Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, she realized that she might have said something wrong.
Wang Mingtian's expression had turned ferocious.
Tang Bugui, protecting Xiao Su Bao, glared at Wang Mingtian: "At a time like this, shouldn't we send someone to gather herbs first!"
"I..." Taking a deep breath, Wang Mingtian tried to force a smile.
"I'll go myself!" he said, and walked out.
He was terrified that if he heard Xiao Su Bao's words again, his heart would ache!
Xiao Su Bao and Tang Bu Gui exchanged a glance, and Tang Bu Gui simply picked up Xiao Su Bao and followed.
Wang Mingtian frowned as he sensed the two people behind him, but still said, "The plague is rampant outside right now. If you go out, you should wear protective clothing."
As soon as Wang Mingtian came out, a servant brought him a blouse, a face towel, and a hat.
He covered his entire body except for his eyes.
"Get some for General Tang and my good apprentice too!" Wang Mingtian said to the servant.
The servant was originally Fu Lin's attendant, but Wang Mingtian took him over. He was very clever.
They quickly took out two sets of clothes and dressed Tang Bugui and Xiao Subao.
The smock that Xiao Su Bao was wearing wasn't actually that big.
"Master Fu instructed me to make a few extra, in case the young ladies wanted to come up with something!"
After the servant finished speaking, he took a step back.
Tang Bugui thought of Fulin, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
This guy seems to have always been very good to Xiao Su Bao. When I first recognized Xiao Su Bao, he even tried to compete with me to be Xiao Su Bao's father.
We need to be careful!
