Farmhouse Green Plum

Daya smiled at him and led the cow over. There were several messy circles of deep marks on the tree, which was as thick as a bowl. This should be the place for the clinic's guests to park their ox carts and horse carriages.

After tying up the cow, Daya found a clean stone nearby and sat down. From time to time, she stretched her neck and looked into the clinic. There were so many people inside that she couldn't see the situation clearly.

"If you are worried, just go in and take a look." The medicine boy was very kind. "I will help you watch the ox cart and make sure no one will take it away."

Daya looked at the ox cart and then at the medicine boy. From where he was sitting, he could indeed see the ox cart by looking up, but she was still worried. This ox was one of the most important properties of their family. If it was lost, Li would probably beat her to death.

She smiled at the medicine boy and politely declined: "Thank you, but no, I'll wait here."

After thinking for a moment, he added in a low voice: "Going in won't help."

The medicine boy nodded, said nothing more, and lowered his head to concentrate on grinding the herbs.

As time passed, the afternoon sun became increasingly scorching, and the oppressive heat made Daya sweat profusely.

When her clothes were about to drip with water, she finally saw Xu Yulan coming out, alone.

Daya quickly stood up and stepped forward to ask, "How is it? What did Doctor Ma say?"

Xu Yulan's tears rolled down again, and she seemed to be crying and laughing: "He was saved. The doctor gave him some medicine, and my father woke up soon."

She sniffed. "The doctor said I need to take medicine to remove the remaining poison. My family doesn't have that much money. Doctor Ma is kind and asked me to come and ask the medicine boy to identify the ground tiger. I can go back to the mountain to pick some and mash it to apply on the wound."

Like the Wang family, the Xu family is also an outsider family in Xinghua Village. More than 20 years ago, the Xu brothers fled to Xinghua Village to escape famine and settled down here after the famine.

Uncle Xu was a scholar and had passed the imperial examination to become a scholar. He was very famous in the village at that time. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after he passed the imperial examination, Uncle Xu died of illness, leaving behind only a widow and an orphan girl.

Over the years, Xu Dahe not only had to take care of his own family, but also had to look after his widowed sister-in-law and niece, and his life became increasingly difficult.

"Ground tiger?" Daya blinked her eyes. Are there medicinal herbs on the mountains in our village?

A vague idea flashed through her mind, and before she could catch it, she blurted out: "I'll help you identify it."

"Okay." Xu Yulan's mind was still in a mess, so she would be more than happy to have someone to help her identify and remember things.

Soon, the medicine boy brought a dry feather-shaped grass leaf. On the thin leaves symmetrically distributed on the left and right, there were still symmetrically smaller feather-shaped leaves.

Daya felt familiar with it at first glance. It looked like a common weed, except that it was green.

The medicine boy spoke slowly, telling them the details of the ground tiger in detail, "This is what it looks like after being dried. The fresh one is green, and it mostly grows in dark and humid places..."

Daya listened patiently, matching the medicine boy's description with the weeds in her mind one by one, and listed several other ones with similar appearances, asking how to distinguish them.

The medicine boy answered them one by one until all their doubts were answered, and then kindly reminded them: "You can also boil the ground tiger in water and add wine to drink, 2 to 3 coins will do, it can also detoxify snake venom."

Xu Yulan was even more grateful. After thanking them repeatedly, she ran back to the clinic to report the results to the adults.

Daya looked at the grasshopper in the medicine boy's hand and was very excited. The wild grass they knew was actually a medicinal herb that could cure diseases!
