Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 356: Collecting Herbs to Save People

The man begged desperately: "Girl, please, please save them."

"Please save them. I can't survive without them..."

An Yue rubbed her fingers in embarrassment, and secretly said in her heart: [In this era, there are no antibiotics, and even alcohol is not pure. How can it be easy to save them? ]

But looking at the man in front of me, kneeling and begging, I really couldn't bear it.

The man knelt down and kowtowed, begging: "Please help me, girl. As long as you can cure them, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you."

An Yue waved her hand and said, "Uncle, you get up first. You don't have to work like a slave. I want to save them, but I'm also afraid that my medical skills are not good enough and I might harm them..."

"They have been ill for many days and have not recovered. I can only watch over them day and night. You know medical skills, and we trust you."

An Yue paused, mustered up her courage and said, "Then... I'll try my best, okay?"

"Okay, okay, thank you very much."

"But... let's make it clear first! If it doesn't work or something unexpected happens, you can't blame me. I can try first, but I can't guarantee whether it can be cured."

The man turned and looked at the mother and daughter lying in the cave.

After a few pauses, he looked at An Yue again, nodded and said affirmatively: "They are like this now, I can't do anything. If it really comes to that, it will be God's will that my family will be destroyed."

"Well, fine. I'll try it first!" Seeing this, An Yue had no choice but to agree.

When the man saw An Yue agreed, he stood up and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

An Yue said to the man, "Their fever, coupled with long-term hunger and physical weakness, has worsened their condition."

"Uncle, go clean the pot first. I'll go get some herbs and see if they can relieve their symptoms."

After listening to An Yue, the man hurried into the cave to wash the pot.

An Yue put down the backpack and led Chunzhi to the edge of the wasteland to pick herbs.

Chunzhi quickly asked An Yue: "Miss, can you really cure them?"

An Yue sighed and said, "Like I just said, I'm just trying it out."

As she spoke, An Yue picked a few branches of yellow broom along the side of the mountain, and dug up a handful of plantain, wormwood, dandelion, and houttuynia cordata.

After An Yue found the herbs, she gave them to Chunzhi.

An Yue said as she picked the herbs: "These are common herbs, and they are also the herbs that can be found nearby."

An Yue and Chun Zhi came to the entrance of the cave with the herbs they had just picked.

An Yue said to the man, "Uncle, these are herbs. I will divide them into three small bundles."

As An Yue spoke, she separated the collected herbs according to specific medicinal amounts.

After sorting the herbs, An Yue handed the man a small bundle and said, "Remember! Boil a bundle every day, feed him the herbal soup every two hours, and take it at least three times a day."

The man listened carefully to An Yue's instructions, fearing that he might have made mistakes or missed something.

"Do you remember everything?"

"Okay, okay, I'll remember it. Thank you, girl." The man nodded gratefully.

An Yue specifically reminded: "Also, try to boil the herbs for as long as possible, so that the medicinal effects of the herbs can be extracted to the extreme."

By the time An Yue finished speaking, Chunzhi had already tied up the remaining two bundles of herbs.

"I'll hang the remaining two bundles of herbs on bamboo poles to dry in the sun."

"Oh, by the way, in the next few days, you have to let them drink more boiled water. Remember, it must be boiled water."

The man listened and nodded.

Afterwards, An Yue walked to the backpack and poured out half of the fruits and mushrooms in the basket.

He said to the man, "I see you don't have much to eat, so I just picked some edible mushrooms and fruits from the mountain. I'll share them with you in half."

After sorting them, An Yue pointed at the tea tree mushrooms and said to the man, "Also, this kind of mushroom needs to be cooked for a while longer. It must be cooked thoroughly before it can be eaten."

Chunzhi placed the earth fruit at the entrance of the cave and said to the man, "This earth fruit tastes very good. If the little sister doesn't want to drink the bitter medicine, you can use the earth fruit to coax her to drink the medicine."

The man put the herbs into the pot and boiled them, then stood up and bowed deeply to An Yue and Chun Zhi, saying with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, ladies. Thank you very much!"

"Uncle, you're welcome. It's already noon, and we should go back. I'll come to visit you again in three days."

After saying that, An Yue and Chunzhi picked up their backpacks and started preparing to go home.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your help. There is still grass boiling in the pot, so it is inconvenient for me to see you off. Please take care, ladies."

"Well, stay! Hurry up and boil the herbs and feed them to them!"

After An Yue finished speaking, she and Chunzhi turned around and walked down the mountain with their backpacks on their backs.

When the man saw that An Yue and the others had gone far away, he hurried back to add firewood to boil the herbs.

It was already noon.

The two walked along the path on the back mountain. Chunzhi asked as they walked, "Miss, do you think those herbs can cure them?"

"Those herbs can reduce inflammation, clear away heat and cool blood, relieve cough, and detoxify. As for whether they can cure it, we will have to wait three days and come to see it."

"Miss, our village strictly prohibits taking in refugees. If they flee here and are found near our back mountain by the villagers, it will be a disaster!"

"Don't worry! The mountain behind our house is opposite to the cave halfway up the mountain where they live. That mountain belongs to the village next door."

Chunzhi lowered her head and responded, "Oh! That's fine, that's fine."

"To be honest, I was just afraid that they would rely on us. Oh! If they really rely on us, what should we do?"

An Yue said leisurely: "In one's life, there will inevitably be ups and downs. Let's help them as much as we can!"

An Yue sighed deeply and continued, "Alas...if it weren't for the natural disaster, who would flee with their family and live in a cave? This is also a helpless move!"

"Well, Miss is right. When we encounter such a thing, we just have to do our best."

......

Along the way, the two talked as they walked.

Soon we arrived at the main road near our home.

An Yue told Chunzhi, "Oh, Chunzhi, we just came into contact with them. After entering the house, take off the mask and put it in the yard, then wash your hands carefully, then use boiling water to scald the mask, and then hang it in the yard to dry in the sun for two hours."

"Well, although Chunzhi doesn't understand why, it's right to listen to the young lady."

"Good Haruji, it's great to have you."

The two of them walked into the yard carrying baskets on their backs. When Ba Shi saw them coming back, he came up to them, wagging his tail.

At this time, An Nian came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks, ready to go to the main hall.

He turned around and saw An Yue and the others coming back. He smiled happily and shouted, "Sister is back!"
