Chapter 145 Spring Leaf Grass Seeds

Actually, there is nothing good to see here.

Gu Junqing clapped his hands and decided not to continue wandering around here. Bai Yuanqing probably had already packed his things by now.

After returning to the Bai Mansion, the group did not stay long and followed Bai Yuanqing to the place he mentioned yesterday.

It's better here than in the city. At least the wind and snow aren't too strong. I don't know why, but the temperature here seems to be even higher than in the city.

Gu Junqing did see the thatched huts that Bai Yuanqing mentioned. Although he was very surprised when he heard Bai Yuanqing say that the people were blocked by the snow yesterday, he wondered what use the thatched huts were in such a severe environment. Bai Yuanqing just smiled at that time, leaving him a suspense. Now Gu Junqing saw it, looking at the piles of thatched huts and the Minnan people who looked at them with curiosity and vigilance, he looked up and scanned the surroundings, no, it should be said that it was this slightly dry huge cave.

Gu Junqing couldn't help but praise Bai Yuanqing in his heart, what a wonderful thing!

If it were someone else, they might not be able to think of this placement method.

At this time, she turned her head and was thinking about saying something to Bai Yuanqing, but he suddenly disappeared. It turned out that he was surrounded by the local people.

She was stunned and subconsciously walked forward to take a look.

As soon as he got closer, he saw the women and children standing in front of Bai Yuanqing kneeling on the ground.

Because Bai Yuanqing had his back to him, Gu Junqing could see the woman holding the three-year-old boy in her arms. Her tired and empty eyes were filled with hot tears. She looked at Bai Yuanqing in front of her with hope on her face, and spoke in an earnest tone as if Bai Yuanqing was a god who had descended from the sky and her reborn parents:

"Mr. Magistrate! Please save my child. Xiaobao accidentally caught a cold yesterday and now he has such a high fever. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on any longer! Mr. Magistrate, please save my child..."

Bai Yuanqing, who was originally standing, half-knelt down when he saw the woman's behavior. He first used his hands to stop her from kowtowing to him, and then turned his gaze to Xiaobao, whose face was abnormally flushed in the woman's arms.

After all, he was just a county magistrate, not a doctor, so he had prepared to bring the doctor along with him before he came, and now the doctor could finally be used.

A temporary porridge stall was built not far away, where a group of people were crowded together.

Gu Junqing looked at the porridge stall, and saw that the area around him was crowded with people. They each held a bowl of porridge and two pickled vegetables, and they had a simple breakfast. At this time, Bai Yuanqing had just walked away from Xiaobao and saw Gu Junqing standing at the porridge stall, with his eyes half-closed, looking at the big pot below that was originally full of porridge and had almost nothing to eat. It was unknown what he was thinking.

He stepped forward and asked, "What is the general thinking about?"

Gu Junqing came back to his senses, glanced at Bai Yuanqing who was already sitting next to him, frowned, shook his head and said:

"I just wonder when this snowstorm will stop. After all, it's snowing now, and many things are inconvenient and risky to do."

If the wind and snow had stopped at this time, Bai Yuan would have summoned all the people staying in the cave back to the city to start rebuilding their houses. Why would he wait until now?

"Before coming here, I asked the director of the Guantian Temple to calculate the astronomical phenomena in southern Fujian. He said that this blizzard will last for six consecutive days. Now four days have passed, and there are still two days left. We will have to wait and see. However, hiding here all the time is not a solution. The relief beams we brought can last for ten days or half a day. We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of one..." Having said this, Gu Junqing did not continue to speak, but thought of something, she paused, and then her eyes lit up. She did not look at Bai Yuanqing, but looked at Qinghe who was still treating the people not far away, and murmured:

"Oh, by the way, how come I almost forgot..."

"What's the General?"

Bai Yuanqing didn't hear clearly and asked again subconsciously.

Gu Junqing: "I just suddenly remembered that there is a plant that can fill my stomach and can grow even in this kind of blizzard. It will bear fruit very quickly and will yield a harvest in about a month..."

As soon as these words fell, Bai Yuanqing's expression was blank for a moment, as if he was so shocked by Gu Junqing's words that he didn't know what to say. It took him a while to come back to his senses, thinking about what she had just said that it would only take a month to have a harvest, and in such a harsh environment, it must be said that these words were really exciting, but:

"What is the plant the general is talking about? Where is it and what does it look like?"

After asking three questions in a row, Gu Junqing smiled:

"This plant is not common, and it is not found in southern Fujian. It is hard to say what it looks like, and it will take some time to study. Don't be too hasty. We may need to ask a local doctor from southern Fujian to go back with us to study it."

Bai Yuanqing listened to Gu Junqing talking for a long time, but he didn't understand what Gu Junqing meant by research, or why a plant should be studied.

He didn't have time to ask, because at this time Gu Junqing had already strode away from this place, walked to the porridge shed and found the maid who came here with her. He didn't know what they said, but the two of them pulled each other away from Bai Yuanqing's sight. Before they left completely, Bai Yuanqing saw Gu Junqing take another maid with her.

Bai Yuanqing looked at the ground and was silent for a moment. In the end, he controlled himself not to think wrongly of Gu Junqing. After all, he remembered that Qinghe's medical skills far exceeded those of the famous doctors in southern Fujian.

Perhaps Gu Junqing brought these two people here just for the purpose of researching some plants that can fill the stomach as mentioned just now.

Bai Yuanqing stood up, without thinking any more, walked to the people beside him and said a few words, then took them to other places to see if there were other people in distress.

Qing He had just finished taking the pulse of a middle-aged woman and was about to move on to the next one, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of her own general approaching. Qing He was stunned, and from the look on her face she knew that Gu Junqing wanted to see her for something, so she stood up and walked towards Gu Junqing. She saw Gu Junqing standing in front of her with a gleam in his eyes, and then he asked her if she still remembered sweet shepherd's purse.

Qing He didn't remember the sweet shepherd's purse too clearly. After all, before coming here, the sweet shepherd's purse in her herb garden was eaten away by Ye Shan and Shi Yulin. At this time, Shi Yulin might be planting it in her herb garden.

How could Qing He not remember it? Just as she was about to answer, Gu Jun said:

"I remember we brought springleaf seeds with us before we came. Are they in your bedroom in the Bai Mansion now?"

"Yes, yes, what happened, General?"
