Chapter 45 Ancestors’ Blessings
Si Tian pushed his wheelchair to a medicinal herb and looked at his two children squatting nearby, wondering what they were doing. "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, we are whispering to Yaoyao." Juanjuan squatted on the ground and looked at him with his head tilted.
"Tell me too." Si Tian was very curious about what the two children said.
Juanjuan ran to his side, tiptoed, covered his ears with her hands and whispered: "I told them to grow fast and grow well."
"That's all!" Si Tian looked at her in disbelief.
Juanjuan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "When I came here before, they were in so much pain, so my brother and I comforted them."
Si Tian leaned over a little so that she could whisper to him without having to stand on tiptoe: "So they don't hurt?"
Juanjuan nodded her head vigorously: "They are very powerful!"
Si Tian smiled and touched her head: "This is a secret, you can't tell anyone else!"
"Okay, only my brother and second uncle will know." After Juanjuan made the promise, she went to talk to Yaocao in private.
Si Tian looked at the two children and wondered how many surprises this would bring them!
Doctor Huai was extremely excited now. These medicinal herbs were growing better than before and were not even afraid of the cold winter.
He reached out and picked a piece of medicinal herb, but before he could take a bite, an even more shocking scene appeared before his eyes.
New leaves are growing rapidly in the place where the medicinal herbs were just picked.
This, this is too weird.
He was so frightened that the leaves in his hands fell to the ground.
He stuttered as he looked at Siming and Madam Si: "General, did you, did you just see that?"
Siming was very calm: "Try other herbs that can be picked."
Doctor Huai finally calmed down and found another medicinal herb whose leaves he wanted to pick. After picking them, new leaves also grew quickly.
"this……"
"What needs to be dug?" Siming looked at him and asked.
Doctor Huai: "Let me try."
As he spoke, he went to the room next door, took out a small hoe, found a medicinal herb and started digging.
This time the medicinal herbs were dug out, but after waiting for a long time, no new herbs grew.
Madam Si thought for a moment and said, "Are there any vegetable seeds here? Let's plant them and see."
Doctor Huai nodded and said, "Yes, they used to grow some vegetables here, and they would take the extra ones to Beiyang City to sell. I'll go look for them."
"Mom, I'm afraid this matter is related to Juanjuan." Si Ming said and looked at the two children in the distance.
"This medicine garden cannot be left in the hands of Doctor Huai. It's too dangerous." Old Madam Si was afraid that the secret here would be discovered. If the clues were followed, not only Doctor Huai would be in danger.
Their children are also in danger. The risk is too great.
Doctor Huai found some rapeseeds in the room, dug a hole and put the seeds in, but there was no movement.
"Try the medicinal seeds again." said Madam Si.
"Okay." Doctor Huai hurried to the room to find medicinal seeds, dug a new hole, and buried the seeds in it.
The results were visible to the naked eye; the seeds germinated and grew quickly.
But in the blink of an eye, it has become a mature medicinal herb that can be used as medicine.
Doctor Huai was so shocked that he sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "It must be the blessing of our ancestors, it must be the manifestation of our ancestors."
What he said made Si Ming and Old Madam Si's eyes light up. They could really put the blame on Doctor Huai's ancestors.
This medicine garden was originally left by our ancestors. Seeing it destroyed, we are heartbroken, but we might as well hope that a miracle will happen.
Siming reached out and helped Doctor Huai up: "This is truly the blessing of our ancestors. They have shown their spirit. I can't bear to see Doctor Huai's century-old medicine garden destroyed. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Doctor Huai wiped his tears with his sleeves and nodded repeatedly.
"Doctor Huai, there is something I want to discuss with you." Siming waited until he calmed down before speaking.
"General, you say." Doctor Huai said with red eyes.
"Spread the word about this herb garden and say you sold it to me. I'll send troops to guard it. In reality, it's still your herb garden, but it's officially mine."
Siming looked at him after he finished speaking.
Doctor Huai understood the stakes in a moment: "General, I'm afraid this will bring you danger."
"I'm not without conditions. I want the herbs in this medicine garden. The people in the city are suffering from increasingly severe colds, and these herbs can cure many people's ailments."
"I hope you can sell them at the lowest price and use them to treat more people. This will also alleviate the shortage of medicinal materials in Beiyang City."
After Siming finished speaking, he waited for his reply. If he was unwilling, he would not force him. After all, it was someone else's thing.
Doctor Huai took a few steps back and bowed ninety degrees: "General, you are righteous and kind-hearted. I will sell the herbs at the cheapest price and treat the people."
"We will also provide free medical services to treat more people."
Siming supported his arm and helped him stand up: "In this world, only if we unite as one can we maintain peace."
"I will do my best." Doctor Huai promised.
"Let's go back. I'll find someone I trust to pick and prepare the herbs, and then distribute them to your pharmacy."
After Siming finished speaking, he called Sitian and the two children to leave together.
Doctor Huai handed the key to the medicine garden to Siming and no longer asked about its affairs.
"A Tian, ask your friend at the newspaper to send out an announcement saying that I bought the medicine garden from Doctor Huai's family. Also spread the word that I have acquired the medicine garden, and anyone who wants to sell can contact me." Si Ming said to Si Tian when he returned home.
"Okay. I'm just going to go see the paintings they were asked to draw. If they can be used, I plan to publish them in the newspaper, so I don't have to post notices." After saying this, Si Tian pushed his wheelchair out.
Madam Si waited until the two children finished lunch and went to take a nap before she went to find Si Ming: "A Ming."
"Mom, are you here about the medicine garden?" Siming put away the documents.
"If we buy just one for this medicine garden, it will be too conspicuous. We should buy a few more to distract some attention." Old Madam Si understood clearly.
The Governor's Mansion is not short of money now. It has made a lot of money from the Liu family and selling jadeite.
"Doctor Huai gave us an excuse, but we need more medicine gardens to eliminate the source of a large amount of medicinal materials." Siming said with a smile.
"Whatever you need, I'll give it to you. My family has two little fairy children." Mrs. Si had a smile on her face.
Siming actually had another thought in his mind: "Mom. Traditional Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect and has drawbacks for gunshot wounds. Western medicine is now all imported, so if we want to get it, we have to think of some way."
"Don't you want a position in the General Administration of Customs?" said Mrs. Si.
"There are many people eyeing this position, but they are only pursuing personal gain, not really serving the people." Siming leaned back on the sofa.
