Chapter 230 Is There a Book?
The neighbors on this street were indeed well-informed people. They rushed to tell Shi Zelan about the sick high school entrance examination candidate.
"The couple came to the capital several months in advance. I heard that the woman was very pretty, but she fell ill more than ten days before the man was to take the imperial examination."
"This man was a good man. In order to take care of his seriously ill wife, he did not take the imperial examination.
But the woman was seriously ill and by the time the man asked Dr. Wang from the East Street pharmacy to come over, the woman was already dying. ”
"After the woman was gone, the man was very sad and sent her back home.
Half a year later, he returned with a pair of children. ”
"I heard from people that his elders wanted him to marry another wife, but they were deeply in love and he didn't want to marry again.
He couldn't bear to leave his two children, so he brought them back to the capital and rented the small courtyard where he had lived before. ”
Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi looked at each other across a group of people, both of them with admiration in their eyes.
Half an hour later, Xia Yu came back. He and Shi Zelan sighed and said, "That person is weak and has always been nervous.
After the exam, I relaxed for a while and then got sick.
Xiaoliu said that this illness was actually a good thing because it brought out all the depression he had been feeling over the years.
It would be beneficial for his future if he takes good care of himself at his age. ”
In the evening, Shi Xiaoliu came back and said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu with a relaxed look, "That man is not in any serious trouble.
I'll go check on him again tomorrow. In two days, he will be able to get out of bed. ”
That night, the yard door was knocked again. Shi Xiaoliu opened the yard door and saw the people from that family standing outside the yard door.
"Uncle, what are you doing here at this time?"
"Brother Xiaoliu, my eldest nephew is sick. Please come and take a look."
"Uncle, I can go over and take a look, but I have to tell you that I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet."
"Brother Xiaoliu, our family is already grateful that you can go."
Shi Xiaoliu finally agreed. His involvement with the capital city became increasingly deep.
He turned around and Xia Yu came out carrying a bamboo box: "I'll go with you."
Shi Zelan stood at the door and waved at the two of them.
The yard door was closed, and Shi Zelan sat down under the eaves, with mosquitoes flying towards her, buzzing.
Shi Zelan threw the purification talisman directly, and the mosquito quickly ran away.
Half an hour later, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu came back. They saw Shi Zelan under the eaves and whispered, "It's okay."
Shi Zelan went into the room to meditate and practice. Perhaps because it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she vaguely heard some noise from that house. ,
"The child has nothing to do for a while, why don't you keep Xiaoliu?"
"He lives on the street, and since he's young, he still needs to get more sleep."
"Tell me, how did the child get sick?"
“What did I say?
You have been taking care of the child, but you didn't do it well. Instead, you asked me why the child got sick? ”
Shi Zelan sighed in her heart, that house was also in a mess.
The next day, she woke up early and went outside the yard gate to collect the lantern.
When Aunt Liu was getting the lantern, she saw Shi Zelan and asked curiously, "Did someone knock on your courtyard door last night?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "There is a sick child in that family, please ask Brother Xiaoliu to go over and take a look."
"How is the child now?"
"When Xiaoliu came back last night, he said that the child was fine."
"That's fine. Xiaoliu is still sleeping now?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "We originally wanted to go up the mountain today, but we still have to see if they can wake up."
"You are going up the mountain today. Xiaoyingzi will go with you, okay?"
"Aunt, is Xiaoyingzi free to go with me?"
"Yes, he just happens to be free these days."
"Well, if we decide to go up the mountain, I will call you Xiao Yingzi."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yuwan left the room a while later. They decided to go up the mountain quickly to avoid more people knocking on their door today.
Shi Zelan went over and told Aunt Liu, who immediately asked Xiao Yingzi and her brother to prepare to go up the mountain with Shi Zelan.
Shi Xiaoliu also informed the three young men, saying that he remembered that there was a kind of medicinal herb that was just in season for picking, so he was about to leave the city to pick the herb.
When Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were locking the gate of the yard, the three teenagers and Xiao Yingzi's siblings had already arrived.
Everyone nodded to each other and walked towards the city gate.
After they left the city gate, the three young men asked Shi Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, which mountain are we going to?"
Shi Xiaoliu pointed to the nearest mountain, called a bullock cart over, and said to the people traveling with him, "Everyone save your energy and get on the bullock cart first."
Shi Zelan pulled Xiao Yingzi to sit in the front, while Shi Xiaoliu, Xia Yu and four other young people sat in the back.
When the ox cart reached the foot of the mountain, they got off the cart and soon discovered that the mountain was almost entirely filled with people.
Shi Xiaoliu led the group further inside, and when they came to a road facing the mountain, they finally stopped when they could no longer hear any noisy sounds.
He squatted down and looked at the herbs growing at the foot of the mountain. He pulled out one and examined it, then said with a smile, "We can pull more of this herb.
There is a river not far away. After picking some, you can go to the river to wash them and dry them on the rocks. ”
Xiao Yingzi excitedly held Shi Zelan's hand and shook it vigorously a few times: "Xiao Lanzi, do you know this herb?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "Yes, the ground is quite moist. Let me show you that the root of this herb can also be used as medicine."
Shi Zelan took the opportunity to pull out a herb and handed it to Xiao Yingzi: "Look, the color of this herb root is different from the wild grass root."
Xiao Yingzi looked at Shi Zelan with admiration on her face: "Xiao Lanzi, you are so capable. You know so many medicinal herbs."
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "I just knew these herbs earlier than you. If you carefully identify the herbs today, you will remember them in the future."
At this time, Shi Xiaoliu was already mentioning the efficacy of this herb to the teenagers, and Xiao Yingzi listened very carefully for a while.
Afterwards, she asked Shi Zelan: "Do you know the effects of every herb you know?"
Shi Zelan nodded: "Only by knowing their effects can we better remember what these herbs look like."
Xiao Yingzi was very serious about memorizing the effects of these herbs. She was picking the herbs while muttering to herself, and then she became distracted.
"Xiao Lanzi, are there still any herbs we picked last time on this mountain?"
"It should be on the mountain. Herbs like that won't grow at the foot of a mountain."
"Xiao Lanzi, is there a book of herbs that records where the herbs grow, their uses, and things to pay attention to when making medicine?"
