Although Xiao Lingling didn't know anything about medicine, she could tell that the golden needle was definitely not simple, so she happily put it away.
Old Man Jiang sighed at this time, "However, although I can stay, I promised to help a friend before, and I can't go back on my word.
Since we haven't found the herbs yet, I guess I'll have to stay here for another two days. "How about you, Xiao Lingdang, go ahead first, and I'll catch up with you after Master finishes his work here."
Little Bell tilted her head and asked, "Master, what medicinal herbs are you looking for? Is it difficult to find?"
When talking about this, Old Man Jiang became worried. "It's quite difficult. We need thousand-year-old ginseng for medicine, and at least eight hundred years old. There are more ginseng in the deep mountains here, so I came here specifically to look for it."
I did find a few, but they're only a hundred or two hundred years old at most, so their medicinal properties aren't strong enough. So I have to..."
Before he could finish, Xiao Lingling pretended to take out a ginseng from her arms, which was exactly the one she and her third brother had dug up before.
The age of that batch of ginseng is indeed good, and the largest one is actually a thousand years old.
But since her master said that eight hundred years would be enough, she just picked one that was almost nine hundred years old.
Old man Jiang seemed to be strangled by the throat and was instantly speechless. He couldn't utter a word and just stared with his eyes wide open.
“This, this is…”
Xiao Lingdang didn't care at all and stuffed the ginseng into his arms, "This age should be enough, I'll give this ginseng to Master, as my apprenticeship gift.
But my third brother said that this ginseng is worth a lot of money.
But I don't want money from you, Master. Just remember to find a master for my second brother and find someone who is extremely powerful."
Little Lingling didn't take it seriously, but it moved Old Man Jiang so much that his hands holding the ginseng were shaking.
This kind of wild ginseng that is eight or nine hundred years old is rarely seen even in the royal family.
He was willing to come and look for her only because he wanted to do his best, and he didn't dare to ask for anything more.
As a result, he actually ran into him, and it was a gift from his little apprentice. Oh my god, it makes him happy just thinking about it.
Old man Jiang finally accepted it, but after a moment's thought, he had an idea in mind.
"Little Bell, now that we have the medicine, are you willing to accompany me to see the doctor? If you can cure the disease, you can get a lot of money!"
Xiao Lingdang herself is not greedy for money, but as a little koi, she naturally wants to lead her family to the top, so money is definitely not enough.
So little Lingling was very willing, nodding her little head like a chick pecking at rice.
"I'm willing, I'm willing. But Master, where are we going? Is it far?" After saying that, she turned around and looked at her family.
Old Man Jiang followed her gaze and glanced, "Not far, just in the county town of Liangyong County ahead. Master can take you there and back very quickly using Qinggong."
If your grandparents want to go, they can come with us. If not, they can wait for us for a while. We will be back in a day at most. How is it?"
Little Lingling frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and ran towards Zhao, pulling her aside, and the two of them started talking in whispers.
"Grandma, I've accepted Grandpa Jiang as my master, and he's teaching me how to treat illnesses. He said he's going to the county town ahead to treat someone, and he wants to take me with him. Can I go?"
Xiao Lingling spoke frankly without hiding anything.
"Ah? You accepted him as your master? When did that happen?" The Zhao family member was a little confused.
"Just now. This Grandpa Jiang is amazing. He knows Kung Fu and medicine. Look, this is the gift he gave me as his apprentice."
Xiao Lingdang quietly took out the golden needle, and Zhao immediately had an idea in her mind.
She had been to the Jiangchun Clinic in the county and heard the most famous doctor Mu Langzhong talk about the magic of acupuncture.
However, she was naturally worried about Old Man Jiang, whom she had just known for one day.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's just right. We don't have much food at home. In that case, let's change our route and go to the county town ahead to buy some things. I can also accompany you to see the doctor, okay?"
"Okay! Thank you, grandma!"
She often smuggled "private goods" into her own food, so she naturally knew that her grandmother was taking a detour just for her.
However, she didn't say it out loud. She thought it would be better to act together to prevent the family from getting separated.
Jiang Xinian was not at all surprised by the Lin family's decision. He nodded and agreed.
Zhao quickly told the whole family about this decision. What was rare was that even Sun did not object.
"Let's go. It's a good opportunity for us to see what the situation is like. We really don't have much food left at home, so it's good to go and take a look. This way we don't have to go back to the city later."
So, in order to catch up, the team moved even faster than usual, and even moved all the stuff into the horse-drawn carriages so that the donkey carts could keep up.
After driving for more than an hour, the convoy finally got out of the small road and onto the official road.
At the current speed, it would take about half an hour to reach the county.
However, the situation on this official road is even more complicated, with scattered refugees fleeing famine everywhere.
Their eyes lit up when they saw the carriage, and the only reason they didn't dare rush forward was the wolves surrounding the carriage.
But when they arrived at the city gate, they found that there were many more refugees here than on the official road.
All the people were crowded together, trying to go into the city to buy things. They were all ragged and had sad faces. The scene was much more shocking than what was described in the picture book.
Jiang Xinian didn't expect that there would be so many people gathered here, and his brows furrowed.
"With so many people around, getting in and out must be restricted. How about this, I'll take Xiao Lingling in with me.
If you need anything, you can tell me and I'll go in and take a look. If I find anything, I'll bring it out for you. How about that?"
The question was asked so suddenly that the family didn't know how to respond.
Not to mention that Xiao Lingdang has never left her family since she was born, I just met Jiang Xinian yesterday.
It really doesn't seem credible to let someone you just met and don't even know his background take Xiao Lingling away alone.
But they all knew that the one who loved Xiao Lingling the most was Zhao, so they all looked at Zhao and Xiao Lingling in her arms.
Zhao didn't answer in a hurry. She took a deep look at the little bell in her arms. After seeing the little bell nodded at her seriously, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course! Since Xiao Lingdang has accepted Mr. Jiang as her master, she naturally trusts you.
But, Xiao Lingling has never left us alone. I’m worried that she will be scared and that she will cause trouble for you. I wonder if you can take my second child with you as well?
This way, you can rest assured knowing he will take care of Little Bell when you are busy."
