Chapter Six
The weather began to get hot as it entered the end of May. At this time, two small figures were busy digging something on the ground on the hillside. From time to time, they straightened up to watch what was dug out from the ground, and then continued to bend down to dig. The backpacks beside the two men had half of the whiskers.
"Miss, are these cooked Rehmannia and Sophora ginseng also valuable medicines?" Yuer dug out a Sophora ginseng plant and looked up and asked Xi Ningyu.
"Well, it's OK. This medicine is used to clear heat and dehumidify some skin diseases." Xi Ningyu replied while busy.
"Oh, what about this cooked Rehmannia?" Yu'er asked.
"Cooked Rehmannia can be used for symptoms such as insufficient kidney yin, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, tinnitus and dizziness, irregular menstruation, etc. Oh, and it also. This medicine can also be used for diabetes!" Xi Ningyu raised his head and straightened his waist, sat next to him to rest.
At this time, a few shaking figures walked out in the dense forest slightly far from Xi Ningyu and Yu'er's medicine digging. Looking at the people wearing black clothes, even their heads were half-covered. Blood stains could be clearly seen from the half-face and palms, as well as the blood-stained lining at the cracks of the black clothes.
"Atractylodes, how are you doing? I will persist, and I remember that there is a small town near the mountain. If you persist, you can find a doctor when you arrive in the town." One of the men in black said in an anxious tone.
"Um~~~Hmm." A vague response sound came from the man who was supported by several people.
The other men in black surrounded the man named Atractylodes and looked around with anxious eyes, as if they were warning something. At this time, one of the men in black patted another person beside him and said, "Hey, Mo Ying! Look there, there seems to be someone."
"Go and check who it is. If you are a mountain woodcutter, please check the way down the mountain and the specific direction of the county town. Go quickly!" The man named Mo Ying turned around and ordered.
"yes!"
The man in black was able to move quickly to avoid the obstacles in the mountains and forests and approached the place where Xi Ningyu was. His flexible skills did not make any unnecessary noises. After jumping, he could not find a rock behind Xi Ningyu, and poked his head out to look at the two little girls in front of him.
Seeing the busy look in front of me, a trace of doubt flashed in my eyes by the man in black, but seeing that the two children felt that there was no danger, they appeared and asked how to go down the mountain. As a result, they heard it as soon as they flashed out...
"Ah~~~~~~~! Miss, someone!" Yu'er's shout was shocking the birds in the forest instantly flew into the air.
Xi Ningyu, who was trembling with fear by Yu'er's scream, raised his head and looked at the fish behind him for no reason. He immediately reflected that he turned his head and looked back.
"Two girls, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad guy, I just want to inquire about the mountain road down the mountain..." Not only Xi Ningyu and the birds in the forest were frightened by the sound of Yu'er's scream, but the man in black was also trembling with the sound.
"Talking nonsense... you look like a good person, are you so scary? Also, I have never seen any good person wearing black clothes in broad daylight. You don't look like a good person no matter how you look like a good person!!" Yu'er guarded Xi Ningyu behind her, staring at the man in black, yelling.
"..." The man in black who was stunned by the roar was speechless.
"Puchi~~~" Xi Ningyu was immediately happy when he looked at the man in black who was choked by Yu'er and couldn't speak.
Maybe this man in black is not a good person, but Xi Ningyu saw that this man had not done anything to hurt him until now. He understood that this was not for him, so he let go of his guard and laughed out loud.
The man in black who had recovered for a long time bowed and bowed and said, "I'm so reckless that I'm shocking you. I just want to find out how to walk the road down the mountain. Don't panic, two girls."
Xi Ningyu looked at the man in front of him in a night-clad dress. He heard that he was a young man. He didn't know why he was covered in blood, and then looked at the rag and several blood-stained scars. It seemed to be left after a fierce fight, and from the degree of the blood scab condensation, it was probably left the night before.
So Xi Ningyu asked, "The way down the mountain is the other side, just walk along the way. But I see that you have injuries on your body, it is better to deal with it first."
"Thank you little girl, my injury is not in the way. I just dare to ask the girl, is there a small town at the foot of the mountain, and is there a doctor with better medical skills in the town?" The man in black asked anxiously.
"Well, there is a town. The doctor at Renxintang Pharmacy Store heard that the medical skills are fine." Xi Ningyu replied.
"So, thank you for telling me!" The man in black clasped his fists and thanked him again and turned around and left.
Looking at the mermaid in black who was walking away, patted her chest and gasped, "It's true, it suddenly appeared and scared the souls! I hate this person so much."
"I think you almost scared everyone's souls!" Xi Ningyu teased her with a sneer's nose.
"Where is it?" A trace of flush rose on the Yu'er's face.
After this trouble, Xi Ningyu and Yuer also packed up the dug up herbal medicine and turned back to the old house.
In early June, Xi Ningyu, who had been picked from the mountains and forests last time, prepared again, brought fish to Renxintang. Seeing Shi Hanxue taking the pulse, he placed his back basket next to the medicine picking cabinet and looked at the patients entering and leaving Renxintang. After nearly two months of collecting and selling medicine, Xi Ningyu had not made a fortune. He had saved up almost fifty taels of silver. This could support a family of five or six years of living expenses in an ordinary family. If it was enough to build two new houses in the village outside the town and marry a wife, there would be some remaining.
"Yu Girl. The medicinal materials I used last time were almost the same. I was thinking that I went to your house to ask for medicine even if I didn't see you again!" Dr. Shi, who had diagnosed two more patients, stood up and said to Xi Ningyu.
"Hehe~~ Most of the medicinal materials that Dr. Shi had passed the picking time a while ago. This time I brought a few other medicinal materials. You can take a look, and Polygonum multiflorum also brought a lot of them." Xi Ningyu said to Dr. Shi with a smile.
"Oh~ Is there new medicinal materials? Then let me take a look!" Dr. Shi took the backpack and looked through the prepared medicinal materials inside.
At this time, two men in gray came in from outside the medicine shop. One of them saw Xi Ningyu and Yu'er settled down, hesitated and walked over and bowed and said, "Girl, thank you for your guidance last time."
"Well, brother, don't be polite. It's just a convenience between others and yourself, so I can't thank you." Xi Ningyu turned his head and saw that his voice was familiar, and remembered the man in black who was on the mountain two days ago. So he replied.
"Do you know each other?" At this time, I saw the medicinal materials and asked the guy to weigh the money. After turning around, I saw Xi Ningyu talking to the man in gray and interrupting and asked.
"Sir, this is the girl I mentioned who guided us down the mountain and told Renxintang to see the wounded girl," said the man in gray.
"In this way, won't Yatou Yu save you life! Hahahaha," Shi Hanxue said with a smile.
"Help? Doctor Shi. I saw that this elder brother was not seriously injured last time, right? Could it be that you were intentionally cheating people and diagnosed the wrong injury?" Xi Ningyu was a little surprised that he had said life, and he used words to criticize Dr. Shi.
"You...you crazy girl..." Shi Hanxue was so angry that he suddenly turned black. However, he pointed at Xi Ningyu helplessly and smiled angry and laughed.
"..." The two men in gray next to them also looked speechless, as if they hadn't heard Xi Ningyu's second half.
"This girl Yu is polite in Xia Moying!" At this time, the two men in gray stood up without saying a word and said, "I have been polite to you."
"Doctor Shi is right. Last time, you did save our companions. Because someone among us was seriously injured at that time. If you hadn't given you guidance and let me find the way down the mountain as soon as possible before you could have time to let the doctor save people, otherwise the companions would have died! So thank the girl again." Mo Ying said with a bow again.
"Brother Moying doesn't need to thank you. As the saying goes, life is as great as the sky. I can help save a life and accumulate virtue for myself. But I don't know that Brother Moying's companion is better now?" Xi Ningyu said generously after returning the gift, and asked the injured with concern. This greatly made people feel good.
"This... I have something to say, I want to ask Yat Yu, you are here." Dr. Shi said with a gloomy face when Xi Ningyu asked the injured person.
"Oh, Dr. Shi said it, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!"
"It's true. Because the injured person is seriously injured, although the wound is treated with medicine, somehow he cannot stop bleeding completely. Although he is not in danger of life, he cannot heal because of the continuous bleeding of the wound. It's really troublesome. So I want to ask Yat Yu to see if she can find some good hemostatic medicine on the mountain!" Dr. Shi roughly told the injury.
"So that's it, but it's strange that the wound cannot completely stop bleeding after taking medicine. I wonder if Dr. Shi can tell the medicine used on the wound?" Xi Ningyu asked.
"Of course, I can take Reincarnation Decoction internally, and I use externally, Marine Salmon." Doctor Shi said his prescription without any hesitation.
"Hey, I used Requiem Soup. It should be able to promote blood clotting and accelerate wound healing. How could it be... I don't know if it's convenient for me to see the injured?" Xi Ningyu was also a little surprised.
"If these people don't object..." said Dr. Shi.
