Chapter 576: Injured While Picking Herbs
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua both got up early. One practiced sword in the yard, and the other practiced whip. After they had practiced almost to the point of perfection, they also had some exchanges with each other.
"Xiao Yeyang, who told you to let me go?"
"If I don't let you, you won't be able to get through even three moves."
"Don't underestimate people."
Watching the two children playing happily in the yard, Grandma Gu sat under the eaves with a smile on her face.
It's so energetic and vibrant that it makes people feel refreshed both physically and mentally.
While eating breakfast, Daohua said to Gu Jian and Grandma Gu, "Grandma, Master, I'll go to the farm later and make a pot of medicinal bath for Xiao Yeyang to help him relax."
Gu Jian nodded: "I've been running around for more than two months, it's time to take care of my body."
Granny Gu took over the conversation: "Why go to the village? Just stay in our yard."
Daohua smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, the smell of the medicine is too strong. I'm afraid it will suffocate you."
Hearing this, Grandma Gu stopped talking. Her body had been getting weaker and weaker during this period. Xiao Jian gave her several bowls of medicine every day, and now she really couldn't stand the smell of medicine.
After breakfast, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang went down the mountain.
After the two left, Gu Jian went to the pharmacy and took out the last prescription from the medicine cabinet, feeling secretly anxious.
Since the beginning of this spring, my sister's health has been getting weaker day by day, and she needs to use Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum as medicine.
However, these two medicinal herbs are relatively rare, and he had no stock at all. Fortunately, Xiaowu had someone send some to him, but after a few months, they were almost used up.
Now that his sister's medicine is about to run out and her health is not getting better, he is worried to death.
Gu Jian frowned and went to the kitchen with the medicine, lighting the fire and boiling it himself.
Dong Li saw this, thought for a moment and stepped forward to say, "Don't worry, old master. I've already sent people to look for medicinal herbs everywhere. I'm sure the old lady won't run out of medicine."
Gu Jian sighed, "It's not that easy to find Ganoderma and Polygonum multiflorum in a short time." He was silent for a moment and said, "Let's continue to look for them in the mountains today."
Dongli moved his lips, wanting to speak to stop him. He was worried about the old lady's poor health, but the old man was also old. He was also worried when he saw him climbing mountains and crossing rivers to look for medicinal herbs every day.
Caiju was also very worried. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Old Master, how about telling the young prince to send someone to find some medicinal herbs?"
Gu Jian shook his head: "Medicinal herbs are not something that anyone can find."
Afterwards, when the medicine was ready and Gu Grandma Gu drank it, Gu Jian took Dongli away.
In the village at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Yeyang finished his medicinal bath and left the room feeling relaxed. Seeing Daohua training hunting dogs in the yard, he immediately said with a smile, "Would you like to give me a few injections?"
Daohua turned around and said, "Didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other? I can't even give acupuncture to my third brother, let alone you're a stranger."
Xiao Yeyang choked and walked over: "Well, I'm different."
Daohua found it a little funny and couldn't help laughing out loud. She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "What's different about you?" She blinked and said, "Are you not a man?"
Looking at Daohua's playful smile, Xiao Yeyang immediately said, "Don't you know whether I'm a man or not?"
Daohua glared and moved her lips, wanting to say something back, but after thinking it over, she decided not to and turned around to continue training the hunting dogs.
Seeing that Daohua was getting scared, Xiao Yeyang curled the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows proudly, and then joined in training the hunting dogs with a smile.
Around noon, the two men returned to the mountain with seven hunting dogs.
After entering the yard, Daohua looked around and found that her master was not there. She wondered, "Where did her master go? He was not here when I came yesterday, and he only came back when you arrived. What was he busy with?"
Xiao Yeyang called Caiju over and asked her.
Caiju: "The old master has gone to collect herbs."
"Collecting herbs?!" Daohua looked surprised.
The medicinal materials in her pharmacy are available for her master to use at will. In order to meet his needs for growing medicine, she has specially cultivated more than ten acres of medicinal fields for him at the foot of the mountain, so that he can basically be self-sufficient in the medicine he needs on a daily basis.
Caiju: "The medicine that the old lady takes requires Lingzhi and He Shou Wu, and these two must be picked in the deep mountains."
Xiao Yeyang frowned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can send people to various medicine shops to buy it. If all else fails, I can send people to the mountains. Why would Master Gu have to go into the mountains himself?"
Cai Ju was silent for a moment. "I've asked all the medicine shops in Ningmen Mansion, and even went to the provincial government twice, but I couldn't find any Ganoderma lucidum. I did buy some Polygonum multiflorum, but unfortunately it wasn't very old. So, the old master decided to go into the mountains to look for medicine himself."
Daohua frowned and said, "Master, you really should have told me even if he wanted to go into the mountains to look for medicine. How far can he walk with his old arms and legs?" Then he looked at Caiju and said, "Where did they go to find medicine?"
Caiju: "Over at Ningmen Pass. The old master said that good medicinal herbs are easily found in the deep mountains and old forests over there."
Daohua had been there before when searching for gold mines, and she knew how dangerous the mountains and forests were. She couldn't help but worry, "Isn't this just nonsense?"
Xiao Yeyang also looked worried.
Cai Ju saw this and quickly said, "Don't worry, young prince and Miss Yan. Dong Li is with us. Nothing will happen."
At this time, Granny Gu came out of the room, looked at the three people gathered together, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Caiju hurriedly whispered, "The old lady doesn't know that the old master went to collect herbs. The young prince and Miss Yan should not let it slip."
Daohua walked over with a smile: "Nothing, just ask Caiju what she wants to eat for lunch today."
Granny Gu smiled and said, "Don't you like Caiju's cooking? Just ask her to cook whatever you want."
Daohua smiled and nodded, then helped Grandma Gu into the room.
Xiao Yeyang called Defu and asked him to send someone to Ningmen Pass to find Gu Jian, and then went back to the house to chat with Grandma Gu.
When it was getting dark, Gu Jian came back.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang heard the noise and walked out of the room. They saw Gu Jian being carried by Dongli, his body covered in mud. Their faces suddenly changed. Just as they were about to ask, they saw Gu Jian making a gesture to silence them.
Dongli carried Gu Jian back to the room. Gu Jian endured the pain and said calmly, "I'm old now, and my legs and feet are not as flexible. I fell down when I didn't stand firmly."
Daohua pursed her lips and said nothing. She stepped forward to check Gu Jian's arms and legs, which were oozing with blood. Seeing that they were only some superficial injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she felt his pulse and confirmed that he was not seriously injured. Then she said to Xiao Yeyang with a serious face, "Help Master clean up. I'll go get some medicine."
After the others left, Gu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This girl, when she has a gloomy face, she is really quite intimidating."
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Xiao Yeyang felt relieved. He asked Defu to get some hot water while saying with a smile, "You only know now, that guy has a bad temper. Every time he gets angry, I have to coax him for a long time."
Gu Jian glanced at her sideways and said with dissatisfaction: "If you don't make her angry, how can she lose her temper?"
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
