(twenty four)
The few medicinal materials left in the pharmacy were not enough for them to sort and brew them for a long time. If it were not still dark, no one would be willing to take a rest and just want to go to a nearby medicine store as soon as possible. Come back from digging new herbs in the mountains.
Except for the small house in the back hall that can be used for food and accommodation for the apprentices in the pharmacy, in fact, the Zhang Family Pharmacy does not have the ability to welcome guests. Therefore, after a period of relatively noisy business, the guests casually found an open space on the straw mat in the side hall to sit down and rest, so that they could have enough energy to trek through mountains and rivers after dawn.
Although it is very disrespectful for the host to neglect the guests in this way. But in the eyes of those five "rangers": After wandering outside for months, the days were covered by the sky and the ground, let alone the "peaceful days" with roofs covering the sky and officers and soldiers guarding them. They readily accepted the only good intentions from the Zhang family without a trace of disgust or dissatisfaction. They even did not forget to sing hometown songs to each other before falling asleep. They were very happy and contented!
The three languages are intertwined, singing their own stories but conveying similar wishes. Even though not everyone can understand the Xianbei and Miao dialects, their gentle voices with a hint of pathos are all secretly praying for the true "peace and prosperity" to come.
Accompanied by soft whispers, the few of them spent a night without much trouble. After so many incidents, everyone has grown a lot compared to when they were young when they first entered the rivers and lakes, allowing them to learn how to be calm and composed when facing unpredictable dangers.
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no worry or fear at all. But if you hang your heart all day long and are timid about this and that, you will definitely not be able to do anything well, and you will not be able to understand anything. Perhaps only when people gradually learn to be magnanimous can they gradually come into contact with the true meaning of life and life.
In meditation, time passes very quickly. No matter what you are thinking or thinking about, Mother Earth is fair to everyone. Of course, these include those who cannot sleep no matter what, and can only close their eyes for a while and pretend to sleep to escape the unnecessary care of others.
The woman who inherited the so-called "bloodline of witches" seems to have been born with a sensitive constitution that is different from ordinary people. Coupled with her sentimental personality, she may have been aware of many things long ago, but she could say them at the right time. It should always be correct to come out. Otherwise, it will naturally cause a lot of inconvenience to others. This is also a new principle she learned during her journey.
The uneasiness and fear that lingered in her heart since arriving in Xiahe Town seemed to have been bothering her. At least for now, that feeling had completely prevented her from falling asleep.
At dawn, Murong Yan got up and left the side hall, walking straight to the door. Seeing that the sun was already halfway up in the sky, he decided not to pretend to be asleep, and sat on the threshold waiting for others to wake up so that they could go dig herbs together.
This scene just happened to meet Miss E Wu, who had been assisting Dr. Zhang Yi in his work all night. At that time, she just wanted to go out for some air and change the smell of herbs in her nose, but she didn't expect to meet this strange sister sitting in front of the door.
So, E Feiying stepped forward and said with concern: "Sister Murong, why don't you take a rest? We have to walk on the mountain road later! Or are you not going to go up the mountain to collect herbs?"
"I..." Murong Yan lightly covered her chest with her hands and said hesitantly: "I always feel that... something bad will happen..."
"How could it be! Cousin, he has written a prescription that can cure the disease. It is only a matter of time before the plague can be cured!" E Feiying replied in confusion: "Did something happen?"
"No... nothing happened..." Murong Yan replied: "It's just that I'm very worried... Even if the plague can be cured, Xiahe Town may still not be able to escape this disaster..."
E Feiying rubbed her tired face, thinking that she had heard something wrong. She sat on the threshold again, leaned over and put her face close to her, and asked: "How can you do something that hasn't happened yet?" Say it this way!"
"Ha..." Murong Yan said jokingly: "Sister Ying, just think that I am talking nonsense... I just want everyone to be prepared. After all, in troubled times, we are struggling to survive, and we can rely on it. It’s all about myself.”
"Sister Murong means...that dog officer is unreliable?" E Feiying said suddenly.
Seeing the other party smiling and nodding, Miss E Wu was no longer confused. Immediately he got up and went back to the back hall, planning to tell Zhang Yi all his worries.
Maybe Murong Yan's original intention was not like that, but it would be better than nothing if everyone could pay attention to it. Slowly, she also began to learn to use her talents flexibly, so that it could bring people more than just panic. It is this kind reminder that may bring a huge turning point to a "dead game".
After a while, when the people who were still sleeping gradually woke up, civilians, officers and soldiers began to pile up outside the door of the pharmacy. Some of them were carrying baskets and looked energetic; some of them were shrugging their shoulders and looking listless. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the Zhang Family Pharmacy to open to welcome customers.
Everyone outside the house waited for Shao Qing, and finally a figure came out of the house. I saw "him" wearing a red shirt, with a medium build and strong limbs. From a distance, he looked like a martial artist. Just when he opened his mouth to speak, everyone present was really shocked.
Most of the folks in the countryside have only heard about the legendary heroines and heroines in the world. But if I could see it with my own eyes, it would be the first time.
"Are you sent by Mr. Li?" Miss E Wu said to the bunch of servants who looked like government servants. Seeing them nodding in recognition, she turned to another bunch of people who looked like common people carrying baskets and asked: " Then what happened to you?"
The leader of the village replied: "We saw these official brothers coming here early in the morning carrying baskets on their backs, so we asked a few questions casually and learned that Doctor Zhang still wanted to cure the plague and save people, so we spontaneously came to help. Excuse me, where are Dr. Zhang and the others?"
"Well...he is feeling a little unwell, so he asked me to take charge of the overall situation today!" Miss E Wu replied quite proudly: "I am his cousin, my name is E Feiying, Fei Fei Xiaoyu's Fei, with a heroic appearance. Your Majesty! You can trust me."
As soon as he finished speaking, those who heard it felt incredible and started talking about it.
E Feiying immediately called out Xiaohu, the medicine boy behind her, and then said to everyone: "If you don't believe me, then you have to believe him, right? This is Doctor Zhang's apprentice!"
"Yes...yes..." Xiaohu said rather embarrassedly.
The common people immediately recognized Xiaohu, because when they usually go to Zhangjia Pharmacy to see a doctor, he always takes care of him, so they quickly gave up their worries.
Then, E Feiying distributed the patterns of medicinal herbs that she had hand-drawn overnight to the people who were going to go to the mountains to collect herbs. While explaining where herbs usually grow, she asked Xiaohu to pick up the sick people.
After everything was ready, under the guidance of Xiaohu, the villagers and government officials, plus Bai Feng, Murong Yan, Zhao Kuo, Ajuan, Zhao Xiaomei, and E Feiying, embarked on a journey to collect herbs in the mountains. .
