After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 368: Waving goodbye reluctantly, Dogwood fruit waiting halfway up the mountain

"This...how can we trouble our fellow villagers." For a moment, everyone in the temporary clinic didn't know what to say. It was not right to refuse, nor to accept it. Lin Mingxuan's face turned slightly red.

"What's the big deal? These are all things from home. I just took some here. There's nothing valuable here." An old man said as he stuffed more straw into the seam of the cart.

"But, so many..." Xiaoqiang's face also turned red, and he was at a loss as he held a package.

"Thank you all." Ding Xirui stepped forward and bowed with a smile. The simple thoughts and gifts, accepting them, both are happy, if I continue to refuse like this, I don't know when I can set off.

Seeing this, everyone in the clinic bowed.

The pots and pans were returned, the floor was swept, the door was locked, and the yard returned to silence, as if nothing had happened. Ma Tianyi drove a flatbed cart in the front, with large and small packages and items piled on the cart, and his mother sat between the packages. "Skinny Monkey" Ma Yang was in a car with Yuan Sanxing and Lin Mingxuan, and Xiaoxin followed on horseback. The group drove out of the village, and the head of the village, Bo, led everyone and waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, Doctor Lin. We will go to the city to see you next spring!" Dashi, who was always naive, shouted while waving his hand.

"Okay!" Lin Mingxuan waved his hand and reluctantly lowered the carriage curtain. For a long while, no one spoke, and everyone was quietly looking at the village, the mountains, and the miasma that lingered everywhere.

The carriage passed a hill and Chen Pi, who was driving, had a layer of sweat on his forehead. "Brother Tianyi, do you want to stop for a while and feed the horses some grass?" he shouted to the front.

"Hey..." Ma Tianyi stopped the horse, "Stop and rest for a while. It's hot now. Let's eat something."

Everyone got off the car, Lin Mingxuan took Yuan Sansheng's pulse first, Xiaoqiang took down the tightly wrapped medicine jar, picked up firewood to make a fire, and heated up the medicine for Yuan Sansheng. Ding Xirui stretched, rubbed her waist and shoulders, and suddenly, she felt her forehead was wet, and she wiped it instinctively, but it felt sticky and a little strange.

"It can't be bird poop." She thought to herself.

"Xi Rui, why are you bleeding?" An Yumo shouted from a few steps away. Lin Mingxuan, who was about to bring medicine to Yuan Sanxing, rushed over when he heard the sound, and the others also came forward.

"No way..." Ding Xirui looked at his hand. It was red, not blood, nor bird droppings. He took a closer look and found that it was some kind of fruit pulp.

"Don't worry, it's not blood, there's no bleeding." She shook her head repeatedly, feeling lucky that it wasn't bird poop.

"Miss, don't move. I'll wipe it for you." Banxia took a handkerchief to wipe the foreign objects on her forehead and hands. Lin Mingxuan took the handkerchief, smelled it, and a sour smell rushed into his nose. He looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay, it's Dogwood."

The others also looked up, and sure enough, several trees on the nearby hillside were bright red. Under the sunlight, hundreds of dogwoods were shining brightly, dazzling the eyes. A few birds were jumping on the branches, chirping.

"It looks like small dates! Can I eat it?" An Yumo narrowed his eyes, looking excited.

"It's edible and can also cure diseases." Lin Mingxuan answered her.

"It grows here, with no village in front and no shop behind. It must be wild. Let's pick some." Ding Xirui continued.

"Okay." Lin Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Wait a minute..." He turned around and looked in the direction of Yuan Sanxing, but he didn't expect that the man had already taken the medicine and was drinking it while shaking it.

"You guys go ahead, my aunt and I will rest here," he shouted.

"You guys go, I will look after them." Xiao Xin said. He is now inseparable from "skinny monkey" Ma Yang, fearing that any trouble will arise again.

"Okay." Lin Mingxuan cupped his hands. "Brother Yuan, Xiaoxin, the food is in the package, take it yourselves!" An Yumo shouted.

"Go, go, be careful--" Yuan Sansheng waved his hand, leaned against a rock, and continued to drink the remaining medicine.

Xiaohu led the way, and Xiaobao followed behind. The group crawled slowly along the narrow path. The four women held each other's hands and walked forward in small steps with excitement. After about a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the dogwood tree.

Pull up the branch close to your hand, pick a fruit and place it in the palm of your hand. The small oval fruit is bright red, quiet and full of power.

"So sour." An Yumo stuck out his tongue, pinched a fruit, and frowned.

"Miss An, this fruit cannot be eaten directly." Lin Mingxuan quickly stretched out his hand and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. This girl's hand was too fast and he didn't have time to remind her.

"Everyone, don't eat." Lin Mingxuan quickly told everyone.

"Okay..." An Yumo suddenly felt her face burning. Looking at the bright red and tempting little fruits, she was unwilling to give up. "Then how do I eat them? Doctor Lin."

Everyone looked at Lin Mingxuan. Ding Xirui and Xiaoqiang often went to the clinic, so they naturally knew what the fruit was. Therefore, they did not stop, but took out their handkerchiefs and started picking them.

Lin Mingxuan pinched a fruit, gently rolled it on his fingertips, and said to everyone: "Miss An just took a bite and already knew that Cornus officinalis is sour and astringent, and is not delicious. Cornus officinalis must be pitted and dried, or steamed before use. People with strong bodies do not need to take it. If you need to warm up the liver and kidneys, you can eat Cornus officinalis porridge, or make tea with Cornus officinalis. If the condition is more serious, you need to use a decoction."

"After all, it's still a medicinal herb and can't be eaten. Alas, it's so beautiful for nothing." An Yumo curled her lips.

"Miss An, this is a good thing for people with liver and kidney deficiency." Xiao Qiang said with a smile.

"Okay, help pick them. They will be useful when we go back." Ding Xirui urged.

"Doctor Ding, if I put it in the market, will anyone buy it?" Ma Tianyi asked.

"Brother Ma, you don't have to go to the market, just take it directly to Jimin Hall, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to buy it for you." Xiaoqiang said.

"Okay." Ma Tianyi took a reassurance pill, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and began to pick fruits with a smile.

"Since you've already received it, can you collect more?" Ah Qing continued with a smile.

"You guy, why don't you take the fruits you picked to your Huimin Pharmacy?" Xiaoqiang said.

"I took it, but they didn't give me any money. You can give me whatever money Jimin Hall can give me. I won't refuse it."

"Haha, take them all over and let the shopkeeper buy them." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Thank you, Doctor Lin." Ah Qing glanced at Xiaoqiang, smiled complacently, and quickened his movements.

Soon, all the dogwood fruits on the low branches were picked. The group had a good harvest and walked slowly down the mountain. They found straw and dry cloth, wrapped the fruits in layers, and put them between the packages in the carriage. Only then did they feel relieved and started to eat. "Thin Monkey" Ma Yang showed an envious look. He turned his eyes and looked at his tightly tied hands, and his eyes dimmed.

In the afternoon, the carriage continued to sway on the mountain road. The sun was shining warmly. Ding Xirui and An Yumo leaned against each other and almost fell asleep. After passing two hills, the sunset covered the earth. In the distance, the county seat of Lan County was seen.

"Doctor Lin, we are back." Xiaoxin said.
