Chapter 51: Dementia Wild Boar
Thinking of what would happen next, Gu Feixue instantly buried the soil back and even used the surrounding soil to fill the mine entrance.
This is not an interest she can get involved in. Ancient minerals are almost related to the survival of a country. Even if she finds such resources, she can only pretend not to see them.
After Gu Feixue figured out the key point, she stood up and prepared to leave.
However, just as she stood up, three mad adult wild boars suddenly rushed out from behind her.
There were creepy spikes standing upside down on the wild boar's back, and its scarlet eyes stared straight at Gu Feixue, making her spine chill in an instant.
Gu Feixue reacted quickly and didn't care about anything else. She just started running.
However, most of her physical strength had been consumed long ago. Although she had supplemented some ginseng in the middle, it was almost exhausted because of the vision she had just seen through the iron ore.
Seeing some big trees ahead and thinking that wild boars cannot climb trees, she made a decision instantly.
Gu Feixue used her hands and feet to climb onto a big tree, ignoring the burning pain in her palms.
At the same time as she climbed to the nearest branch to steady herself, the three wild boars also rushed to the tree and began to bang against it desperately.
That desperate posture made Gu Feixue speechless. What the hell?
Those who didn't know would think that she had dug up the ancestral graves of these wild boars. However, slowly, Gu Feixue finally realized that something was wrong.
Even if these beasts wanted to attack her, they wouldn't ram into the trees so recklessly, especially since blood was already oozing from the wild boar's head.
The sharp thorns on its back pierced the tree stump with force, and after breaking off, they repeatedly pierced the wild boar's head and limbs.
Could it be rabies or mad cow disease?
"Aqiu!"
First, she was drenched in rain for half a day, then she was scared into a cold sweat by an iron mine, and finally she was chased for several kilometers by several crazy beasts. At this moment, Gu Feixue didn't even have the strength to speak.
He could only take out the twenty-year-old ginseng he had picked and take a bite to restore his energy and blood.
But she thought about how she had suffered all these hardships today just to save Yuchi Shuo. Why could she only drink twenty-year-old wine, but Yuchi Shuo could drink a hundred-year-old wine?
So Gu Feixue took out another hundred-year-old ginseng and took a bite.
She smacked her lips, but how come she couldn't taste any difference?
"Bang bang" The beast below was still hitting the tree, as if tirelessly. Gu Feixue couldn't help but feel a little weird.
"Is there anyone, please help me, I'm in a tree."
It was originally just a couple of random calls, but before long, three "whoosh" sounds of arrows cutting through the air were heard in the wind.
The wild boars that were unconsciously hitting the tree had their throats cut and died a painful death.
Just as I was marveling at the other person's accuracy, I saw the archer running towards me from dozens of meters away.
"Zhuifeng is late. Miss Xueer, is there anything wrong?" The person who came was actually Yuchi Shuo's guard Zhuifeng.
She didn't tell anyone else about her whereabouts, so how did Zhuifeng know?
Before leaving, she saw some unknown creatures surging in the blood of the dead wild boars, like insect eggs from some animal. After a few seconds, the blood coagulated, and the eggs became motionless and stiff. Gu Feixue couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After returning, Gu Feixue found out that Yuchi Shuo had woken up.
And the news about her being in Ruyi Mountain should have been the letter sent by Rong Qi to Zhuifeng.
Although those animals might have been killed without Zhui Feng, she naturally understood the principle that delay would lead to disaster.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
Gu Feixue looked at Yuchi Shuo, who had just woken up on the bed. He looked at her with concern on his pale and weak face. She could only shake her head: "He's not hurt."
Yuchi Shuo saw the bloodstain on Gu Feixue's palm, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.
Taking the ginseng out of his arms, Gu Feixue and his brother settled the accounts:
"One hundred-year-old wild ginseng and one twenty-year-old wild ginseng, I'll sell them to you at the market price."
Yuchi Shuo looked stunned, and even Zhuifeng beside him was speechless.
So she risked her life to go deep into Ruyi Mountain alone just to pick ginseng to sell to His Highness?
Yuchi Shuo was stunned for a moment, but then he instantly understood what Gu Feixue meant. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Yuchi Shuo asked Zhuifeng to accept the ginseng and boil it according to Gu Feixue's prescription.
Zhuifeng got the ginseng and looked at the two ginsengs. He found that they were missing several roots and the broken ends were obviously bitten by humans. He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Who prescribed this medicine? How did you know that century-old ginseng can cure this disease?"
After some thought, Gu Feixue decided to tell Yuchi Shuo about Rong Qi's existence. After all, he hadn't asked her to keep it a secret. Of course, she didn't tell him where Taoyuan was.
When Yuchi Shuo heard that Gu Feixue had accidentally met the Liangcheng Miracle Doctor, he looked as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he coughed and said:
"This is also a blessing for Liangcheng. You can distribute the ginseng decoction to the people infected with the plague in the city to ensure their safety."
Gu Feixue asked in surprise: "Then what are you going to do?"
Yuchi Shuo smiled faintly, with a hint of helplessness in his smile:
"You found the prescription from the miracle doctor, but you didn't consider that you didn't need to look for the hundred-year-old ginseng. As the crown prince, how could I not bring along some life-saving herbs? Besides, the medicinal power of the hundred-year-old ginseng soup is so potent that even a small amount would be effective for ordinary people."
So, her suffering was in vain? Who would have thought that Yuchi Shuo's carriage was robbed and he would still have ginseng that was over a hundred years old?
As a result, Gu Feixue secretly criticized the royal extravagance.
No wonder he is weak. He takes hundred-year-old ginseng to nourish his body even when nothing serious happens. It is natural that he has no resistance.
Other people's common medicine is isatis root, but these royal children are different. Century-old ginseng is not uncommon.
Gu Feixue was secretly complaining, so she naturally didn't look happy. Yuchi Shuo looked at his chest and couldn't help but let out a few muffled laughs:
"Haha, your efforts are certainly not in vain. I'm afraid everyone in Liangcheng will be grateful to you this time."
"That's what I should do." Gu Feixue said bluntly.
Anyway, the original purpose of saving Yuchi Shuo was to protect Liangcheng and her Gu family. There seemed to be no difference between saving Yuchi Shuo and saving other people. Only then did Gu Feixue feel balanced.
As he was speaking, Gu Lang arrived in a hurry.
"Xue'er! You scared Daddy to death. Are you seriously ill? Why didn't you tell Mom and Dad?"
Gu Feixue got a headache when she heard that. Of course, she was pretending. "Don't blame Xue'er. Xue'er got a headache from the rain. Where's mom?"
As expected, Gu Lang stopped his attack immediately and looked at Gu Feixue with a distressed expression. He said goodbye to Yuchi Shuo and took her back.
After returning, the Gu family saw that Gu Feixue was soaked by the rain, covered in mud and grass, and looked miserable. They were so distressed that they naturally did not blame her anymore.
The next day, the prefect and Duke Zheng returned to the prefect's villa with the letter.
With the two of them protecting them, the letter was finally reported to the court without any obstruction.
On that day, the prefect sent people to boil the two ginseng roots into a medicinal decoction and distributed it to all the people in the city who were suffering from the plague.
The hundred-year-old ginseng is only used as a medicine inducer. Only two thin slices are needed in a dose of medicine to bring out all the medicinal effects of the decoction.
Although twenty-year-old ginseng is not as effective as hundred-year-old ginseng, it can also strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy for patients with mild symptoms of plague.
On that day, the prefect set up a medicine decoction place under the city gate. In front of all the common people, he boiled dozens of pots of ginseng soup until the two ginseng roots were used up.
