Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 108
(25)

Dozens of people, men, women and children together, all carrying a bamboo medicine basket, carrying a hooked sickle and a medicine hoe, left Xiahe Town, just to go to the small hill facing Huansha River in the south to dig herbs to help the town. With the help of the Chinese medicine officer, the homeland was restored to peace and tranquility.

Although there were only two days left, everyone was really excited by Zhang Yi's breakthrough in treating the plague.During a drought, people can temporarily draw water from the Huansha River in the south for self-sufficiency, but once there is something beyond the reach of human beings such as the plague, they usually have to kneel down and pray with their hands together, begging for God's blessing.It is precisely because of this that those who dare to face natural disasters are fearless and respectable.

For thousands of years, since the ancient times when Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, his descendants have never stopped loving life and caring for the nation.
The longing for life to thrive.I don't know how many times I have experienced the crisis of life and death like today.There will always be someone willing to stand up, because this is the reason why this nation still exists!

They awakened the memories buried in their blood and left behind by their ancestors, and repeated what their ancestors had done: if there was no water, they would lead the water there; if there was no road, they would make a road.Without hope, they raise their own torches and become the "hope" of others.

The people collecting herbs passed the river bank, and then walked up the river in a detour.It was not until the corner of a certain river bank that I began to walk into the dense forest and climb up the hills.Compared with Qingliang Mountain, the small depression is nothing worth mentioning, but it is steep, with many convex or concave gaps between them, and those places hide the rare treasures they want to find Grass.

Under the guidance of Xiaohu, everyone quickly entered the role of a herb collector.They scattered around, hoeed the soil with their sickles, and put the herbs they dug into the bamboo baskets behind them according to the appearance of the herbs in their impression.When the bamboo basket was almost up to the edge, he just turned around and started the journey back to Xiahe Town.

The baskets of the villagers, the officials and the chivalrous men naturally contained many useless weeds, as well as ungrown herbs that were picked by mistake.Therefore, after sorting, there are not many herbs left that can be directly processed into medicine.All these situations are in the eyes of Xiaohu. If the normal juniors do this, he will definitely treat his "new juniors" just like his master punished him...

But now the situation is special and urgent, and there is no way to care about anything.What's more, everyone's eagerness to help others is really irreproachable, and Xiaohu can't say anything more. Even if he has told many people "what medicines not to take", it really doesn't help the matter.

After all, the knowledge that Xiaohu and herbal apprentices have accumulated over the years cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.Therefore, we can only hope that "the strength of a large number of people": at least everyone can dig up some useful herbs, so that it is not a bad thing after all.

Such hard work or futile work continued from early morning to noon in the hot sun. At this time, most people were exhausted, and they all wanted to find a pool of water to get into to disperse their sweat.There were only a few people who were about to walk back to the Zhang Family Pharmacy in Xiahe Town with their full medicine baskets on their shoulders.

The men jump into the ponds in the mountains topless, while the women are not so reckless. At most, they just lift up the sleeves of their skirts, expose their slender wrists and ankles and soak them in the water, and then wash their faces.

For that young swordsman, the fact that he is not carrying a sword today but a medicine basket is already a novelty for him.Born in a farming family, he is not a man who does not work hard and does not divide grains; he does not like killing by nature, but loves helping others, so that he even likes this kind of identity as a herb picker.Looking at the whole mountain, it seems that he is the only man who is willing to stay on the shore in the scorching heat and stay with the women, because he has already been immersed in inexplicable happiness.

"If my hometown is still there, wouldn't it be like this now?" Bai Feng muttered suddenly, sitting cross-legged by the lake.

"Brother Feng?" Murong Yan beside her gracefully took off the yellow gauze dress and put it aside.Then, she rolled up her green dress.In this way, she can let those delicate little feet wading on the bank of the river to relieve her boredom, "My hometown must be a place full of beauty... I have never seen my hometown..."

"I heard from others that the hometown of the Xianbei people is in the grasslands and deserts." The younger sister Zhao at the side agreed again: "You can also see the grasslands in Yuyi Town. I believe that sister Murongyan's hometown is not inferior to it!" The younger sister seems to be forever It's all this innocent look, and her big brown eyes can never hide any emotion.

"Anyway, my hometown is much better than outside here!" The Miao girl probably missed the word "hometown" especially.This is of course because she encountered more dangers in the short month after she came to the outside world than she had lived in her hometown for more than ten years in the past. "Without you, I will not leave there even if I die... "After that, Ajuan looked at the young master who was playing in the water with others in the middle of the lake.

"However, how can anyone stay at home all their lives?" Miss E Wu replied, "If I were a man, I wouldn't have to shy away from my father's face. I could go out and roam the rivers and lakes with my baggage. How comfortable I am!"

As soon as the words fell, Murong Yan pursed her lips and laughed.Maybe it's because she is what E Feiying said was the daughter who picked up the burden and ran away from home without any regard for her father's face.

Just when E Feiying was about to ask Murong Yan for clues, the village government servant who had just delivered the medicine back to Xiahe Town suddenly returned here from the same way.

They were panting and out of breath.The leader of the village shouted loudly: "Miss E, something is wrong! Your father led the army here, saying that he wanted to cure the plague, and he wanted to find his daughter! We just planned to cross the shore from the official road, but we didn't expect When I got there, the officers and soldiers blocked the road, and I really couldn’t go on, so I came back and reported the matter to you!”

"What's the matter? We're still in a hurry to save people!" E Feiying stood up, angrily picked up her medicine basket, and continued: "Let's go, take a few more people with you, Let's go find them together!"

"Miss E!" Bai Feng immediately stepped forward to stop her: "You look like this, I'm afraid that if you go, it will only increase the conflict between your father and daughter. I don't want to see Miss E Wu fighting with your father's men again... ..."

"Brother Bai is right!" Zhao Kuo didn't know when he came ashore from somewhere else, and he wiped his body with his underwear wetly, and said, "Miss E Wu has ruined my good things several times. Why do we have to use force to solve the matter we talked about?"

E Feiying saw that it was difficult to get rid of the opinions, so she had to let a few of her friends go with her, just to ensure that things would not get worse.
