Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality
Chapter 23: Flower Thief, Raising Rhubarb
He Ling has already taken a sixth-level medicinal bath. Having confirmed that there are immortal cultivators in this world, He Ling does not intend to soak in it to the limit of his body's endurance.
If it had been according to the original plan, it would have taken He Ling two full years to collect all the medicinal materials for the sixth forging. If he had continued to soak them to the limit as before, it would have taken at least ten to twenty years based on the collection time.
Not to mention the seventh and eighth forgings. At that time, medicinal materials will be more precious, and the time will be calculated in hundreds of years. There are too many variables in such a long time.
After careful consideration, He Ling decided to age the medicinal herbs with seeds to a thousand years old at one time, and then start the seventh step of the medicinal bath after soaking them.
In this way, even if the number of medicinal baths is reduced, the efficacy of the medicine will not be much different.
Having made up his mind, He Ling went to the room and took out a round box. This was originally a box used to store needles and thread, and it was divided into several grids for needles and thread, but He Ling used it to store seeds.
Including some medicinal herbs that He Ling had cultivated before, she still had to cultivate about five more kinds of medicinal herbs.
She can now produce seventeen drops of precious spring water in her body every day, which means that the age of the medicine increases by seventeen years every day.
If you calculate it, it will take two hundred and ninety days, almost three hundred days, which is a full year.
He Ling sighed. She had more than she could use up before, but now it's not enough. It would be great if she could store the treasure spring that she couldn't use up every day.
It's not that she hasn't tried it before, but after this precious spring left her body, it became no different from ordinary water after half a day.
After planting the seeds and adding two or three drops of precious spring water to each of them, He Ling saw green sprouts emerging from the seeds. Only then did he put on his constable uniform and go out to the street.
She hadn't finished her two regular street patrols today. Although no one would say anything if she didn't do it, it was her job, and going out for a walk could also improve her mood.
While patrolling the streets, he heard people talking about a major event: a flower-stealing thief had appeared in Yangshui County. He had not only raped several young ladies from wealthy families, but also looted several wealthy families' homes.
When He Ling thought about the medicinal herbs she had grown, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The value of these herbs was no less than the wealth of those wealthy people.
Moreover, these medicinal herbs are extremely difficult to collect. If they were lost, He Ling would probably be so angry that he wouldn't be able to eat for several days.
I returned home with some worries, only to see a familiar person.
As soon as Sun Qingshan saw He Ling, he greeted her warmly.
He Ling still had a somewhat cold attitude. Sun Qingshan scratched the back of his head and then got down to business.
A flower-stealing thief appeared in Yangshui County, and the government offices were issuing wanted notices for him everywhere. Sun Qingshan came to give He Ling several wanted notices and asked her to post them on the bulletin board on Wanglai Street.
Even if there is a reward, if an ordinary person catches the person, he will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and the informer will also be rewarded. If the constable catches the person, he will be promoted two levels and get 100 taels of silver.
Seeing that He Ling had no intention of keeping him, Sun Qingshan tactfully left on his own.
He Ling just returned to the yard when he heard another knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Sun Qingshan again.
Sun Qingshan's face flushed, but he still spoke out his true feelings loudly to He Ling, attracting many neighbors to come and watch the fun.
He Ling refused without even thinking, which made Sun Qingshan stop talking immediately.
He smiled bitterly, nodded at He Ling, and said only one sentence, "I won't bother you again in the future."
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the neighbors all scattered.
He Ling didn't take this matter to heart. She had experienced too much and had long developed a calm mentality.
After looking at the wanted poster, I saw a picture of a man with shifty eyes. I memorized his appearance and then posted it on the notice board.
After thinking about it, he went to the market and bought two half-grown yellow dogs, and asked a carpenter to make a raised railing to raise the height of the walls around the yard.
He Ling was still worried, so he went to the blacksmith shop and ordered several iron clamps to trap wild animals. He placed them in the corner of the yard, and only then did he feel relieved.
Half a month passed like this. Although there was still no news of the flower thief being arrested, there was also no news of him committing crimes again.
Time passed by like this, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and everyone almost forgot about the flower thief.
It is the end of the year and a light snowflake has been falling from the sky. It has been snowing for several days, and the surrounding houses are all covered in white.
He Ling was still in the house preparing lunch. Today was the day when her last thousand-year-old medicinal herb reached its medicinal age, so she had to prepare early and take this last, sixth-forged medicinal bath.
As soon as the fire was lit and a puff of white smoke came out of the chimney, I heard two big yellow dogs in the yard barking.
These two big yellow dogs are the two half-grown puppies that He Ling bought before. Usually, He Ling never treats herself badly in terms of food, so the two big yellow dogs also benefited from it. Only a year later, the two big yellow dogs grew fat and strong, with shiny yellow fur.
At this moment, they opened their terrifying big mouths and kept barking towards the outside of the door.
He Ling came out and called out twice, "Da Mao, Er Mao."
Two big yellow dogs walked up to He Ling, wagging their tails.
He stroked the dog's head and then walked over and opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw an old man with rosacea. In such cold weather, he was only wearing a thin and tattered robe.
There was a little girl following behind him. She was not wearing much and her little face was red from the cold.
When the old man with rosacea saw He Ling, he said a little awkwardly, "Hello, Constable He, my name is Liu Zhongtian."
He Ling recognized the old man with red nose. The old man had owed money to the Tiger Tooth Gang before. If He Ling had not happened to be eliminating the Tiger Tooth Gang, he would have been beaten to death by the Tiger Tooth Gang members.
However, this was all she knew about the old man. She looked at the little girl shivering from the cold behind her and sighed inwardly.
"It's winter, come in and warm yourself up."
The old man with the rosacea looked delighted and said quickly, "Thank you, Constable He."
Then he pushed the little girl behind him and said, "Hurry up and thank Constable He."
The little girl then timidly said, "Thank you, Constable He."
The two followed He Ling into the house and were frightened when they saw two ferocious-looking yellow dogs.
However, the two big yellow dogs were very obedient. When they saw that it was He Ling who brought them here, they didn't bark but just squatted in the doghouse that He Ling had made for them using the carpentry skills he had secretly learned. They stood with their ears erect and stared at the two of them closely.
The doghouse is shaped like the house where the big dog lives in Tom and Jerry. It is covered with a quilt, which looks very warm. There is also an iron dog bowl inside.
The dog bowl was not put in there by He Ling. The two yellow dogs raised by He Ling were very smart. After every meal, they would carry the dog bowl into the dog shed by themselves.
