When she returned to Uncle Xu's house, it was almost dark. Uncle Xu was looking around at the gate. When he saw her return, he rushed forward and asked, "Girl, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, what's wrong?" Li Xiyue asked, puzzled.
Uncle Xu was relieved, but also a little regretful. "I shouldn't have let you go up the mountain alone. What if something happened to you, a young lady?"
“I brought Xiaobai, so don’t be afraid.” Li Xiyue pointed to the black dog beside her.
Uncle Xu said, "That's not safe either. Next time we need two people to go up the mountain."
Does that mean we can't go deep into the mountains anymore?
"Here, give me the basket." Uncle Xu took the basket.
Xu Guoqing came out, snatched the basket, and examined it. "Let me see what herbs Sister Li picked? What is this? I've never seen it before. Is it medicine?"
Uncle Xu looked over, his old eyes widening. "Dendrobium officinale? Girl, you actually found Dendrobium officinale? Where did you find it?"
"On a rocky mountain, I don't know what place it is, Xiaobai took me there." Li Xiyue quickly attributed the credit to Xiaobai.
Little Whitey raised its head proudly.
"What is this? Ginseng!" Xu Guoqing didn't recognize Dendrobium officinale, but he knew ginseng, and his voice cracked.
Uncle Xu took a closer look and his beard trembled with excitement. "There's ginseng too, a hundred years old! Girl, are you the mountain god's own daughter?"
"My grandfather spent half his life digging for medicinal herbs, and he only found ginseng twice, and those were only a few decades old." Xu Guoqing gave Li Xiyue a thumbs up, full of admiration, "Sister Li, you're amazing!"
Li Xiyue scratched her head, feeling rather embarrassed, and attributed the credit to Xiaobai, saying, "It was Xiaobai who found it."
The little white tail whips into a propeller, a small chicken leg, and a big chicken leg.
Uncle Xu squatted down and vigorously tugged at Xiaobai's head, "Good dog! Tomorrow I'll go up the mountain with you to gather herbs!"
Xiao Bai, who almost went bald: "..."
Where's the chicken leg? Why is there only the giant iron paw of a two-legged creature?
Xu Guoqing then looked through the other medicines, including rarer ones like blood ginseng. The grandfather and grandson concluded that Li Xiyue was the mountain god's daughter, born with this special ability, and that following her up the mountain would be the right thing to do.
It was getting late, so Li Xiyue and Uncle Xu locked the courtyard gate and headed to Xu Dashan's house.
Xu Dashan invited not only them, but also Xu Guoqiang's family and Xu Xiangyang.
Li Xiyue handed a packet of brown sugar to Xu Dashan, but Xu Dashan refused to accept it, saying, "You saved my wife and children, so we should be thanking you. How can I accept your gift?"
“My aunt just gave birth and needs nutrition. This is something I brought from home. It’s not much, just a small token of my appreciation,” Li Xiyue said.
She took two ounces of brown sugar. Although she had saved Xu Dashan's wife and children, it wouldn't be right for her to come to his house empty-handed for a meal.
Uncle Xu and his grandson also brought two doses of tonic medicine.
Xu Guoqiang's family also brought eggs and wine.
Even Xu Xiangyang brought food; no one came empty-handed.
There were no elderly people or relatives in Xu Dashan's family. Grandma Yu and Sun Xia were helping to cook in the kitchen, while Xu Guoqiang, Uncle Xu Liu, and Xu Xiangyang were talking in the main room.
Xu Guoqing and Hu Zi went to the backyard to check on Xu Dashan's hunting gear, and incidentally, they also kidnapped Xiaobai.
Li Xiyue wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Grandma Yu kicked her out. She could only go to see the new mother and baby.
"Auntie, how are you feeling?" Li Xiyue sat down on the edge of the bed and was relieved to see that Fang Yue'e looked well.
Fang Yue'e laughed and said, "Everything is fine, Li Zhiqing, all thanks to you... I said those things to you on the donkey cart, I hope you don't blame me."
"I understand." Li Xiyue smiled and shook her head. In that situation, it wouldn't be surprising if Fang Yue'e did anything.
