Chapter 128 Visiting the Herb Garden

When Su Nuannuan went to class on Monday, she compared the courses in clinical medicine and found that there were no courses with overlapping times.

After finishing her clinical medicine class, Su Nuannuan took her textbooks for traditional Chinese medicine preparation to class.

Since she was there to try out a class, Su Nuannuan didn't attract much attention. She simply found a seat quietly in a corner. The students majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine production didn't notice her presence.

The first lesson was on the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Su Nuannuan opened her textbook and began to listen attentively. Worried about getting Chu Mingzhou's textbook dirty, she found a notebook and took notes while listening to the lecture.

The person who came to class was a very old man, whose distinct hair was covered with a layer of white frost. Even so, he was very energetic.

Su Nuannuan didn't know who he was. However, judging from the serious attitude of the classmates around her, this person must be very capable.

As Su Nuannuan had expected, the old man's lectures were full of essential information, often making obscure and difficult-to-understand traditional Chinese medicine theories fascinating and engaging. Su Nuannuan also learned a great deal about traditional Chinese medicine.

Previously, Su Nuannuan only knew that a single prescription consisted of multiple herbs. Today, she learned that the herbs in a prescription are ranked in terms of primary and secondary importance. According to their therapeutic effects, they are divided into four parts: principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs.

Furthermore, different dosages can also affect the efficacy of a medication. Too much of anything is bad; excessive dosage can easily have the opposite effect.

Su Nuannuan has been diligently absorbing knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine in these classes.

In the afternoon, Su Nuannuan attended her medicinal botany class. Unlike other theoretical studies, the medicinal botany teacher would take the students directly to the school's specially designated medicinal garden to identify herbs.

Because she was going to visit the medicinal herb garden, Su Nuannuan specifically wore long sleeves and trousers. Although she had never been to a medicinal herb garden before, she had worked in the fields. Every summer and autumn, the fields were teeming with insects and ants.

Su Nuannuan wasn't afraid of them, just a little disgusted. Besides, it was really unpleasant to have these little creatures crawling on her.

Su Nuannuan's preparations were very prescient.

The teacher who taught Su Nuannuan medicinal botany was a robust-looking middle-aged man. It was clear that he had a great fondness for traditional Chinese medicine.

As the students entered the herb garden, he kept reminding them to watch their step and not to trample on the delicate herbs. Some of the herbs in the garden were very expensive and rare, while others were common and inexpensive, but all of them were planted by the teachers themselves.

Therefore, the teacher cherished them dearly. Even though there was a long red brick path in the herb garden, the teacher kept a close eye on the students to prevent them from damaging the herbs.

Su Nuannuan followed behind the teacher, holding the book on medicinal botany in her hand.

The teacher compared the Chinese herbal medicines mentioned by the students with the herbs in the book, describing them in detail from their roots, stems, leaves to their flowers, fruits, and seeds.

Su Nuannuan's powerful memory also allowed her to firmly remember the knowledge taught by the teacher.

After explaining some herbal Chinese medicinal herbs, the teacher led the students deeper into the herb garden, where Su Nuannuan saw many lush, large trees.

Many of these are common trees that can be used in medicine. Their branches and leaves have a unique fragrance.

Suddenly, a group of students led by the teacher in front of them started making "waaaa" noises.

The students behind them curiously pushed their way to the front, eager to see what interesting things were happening.

Su Nuannuan saw it most clearly from behind. The students in front were running back, their faces showing fear, as if they were hiding from something.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan had a bad feeling.

I looked around and saw dense woods.

Su Nuannuan fastened the top button of her coat and moved her body back to avoid the crowd.

Just as Su Nuannuan had predicted, while she was hiding to the side, someone finally found out what had happened. It turned out that when the teacher was leading the students to identify medicinal herbs, one student accidentally grabbed a hornet's nest. And, what was most absurd was that this student didn't even realize what he was holding was a hornet's nest, and even showed it to the teacher.

If the teacher hadn't been quick enough to throw the hornet's nest away, this student would have been stung so badly his head would have turned into a pig's head.

However, even so, a small number of students were attacked by wasps and their faces became red and swollen.

Fortunately, most of the students came from rural areas and were used to being stung by wasps. Su Nuannuan had already seen several of them put their hands in their mouths, moisten them with saliva, and apply it to their wounds.

Su Nuannuan was truly shocked.

Okay, from a medical perspective, saliva can also kill bacteria. There is some scientific basis for their actions.

The teacher and the warrior holding a hornet's nest were the most severely stung.

The middle-aged male teacher was probably used to it, and even after being stung, he didn't show much reaction and continued to teach the students at his usual pace.

The students also cherished the opportunity to spend time with their teachers and listened attentively to their lectures.

However, the boy who removed the wasp nest with his bare hands didn't have the same patience as the teacher. He ran to the back of the line and refused to stay next to the teacher anymore.

I no longer touch things I'm curious about.

Su Nuannuan looked at the chubby little boy next to her with one eye that was obviously red and swollen, and couldn't help but smile.

It wasn't that Su Nuannuan was impolite; it was just that this chubby little boy was too funny. The chubby boy was the classmate who removed the hornet's nest with his bare hands. Judging from his appearance, his family must be well-fed, otherwise he wouldn't be unfamiliar with hornet's nests.

Su Nuannuan looked at the other person, her mouth constantly making sniffling sounds, and her hand kept touching the wound from the wasp sting.

Su Nuannuan shook her head. Of all the organs on the human body, hands are the dirtiest. They're covered in countless bacteria, and touching a wasp sting wound will only make it worse.

The little fat boy was so pitiful; he had some saliva on his hands but wouldn't put it on his face.

Su Nuannuan could clearly see the disdain in the little fat boy's eyes.

Su Nuannuan didn't pay much attention to the chubby boy for long. She spent most of her time listening to the teacher identify medicinal herbs.

When they arrived at an open space, the teacher began to organize the students to take a break.

They had walked a kilometer, during which they circled the herb garden, identifying the herbs within, which took a lot of effort.

Many students were tired and thirsty, and the teacher let them rest to replenish their energy.

Those with foresight had already taken the flatbread, steamed buns, and water from their bags and were eating and resting at the same time.

Su Nuannuan wasn't hungry. She sat quietly to the side, drinking the spiritual spring water she had drawn from her spatial storage. Of course, to outsiders, it appeared that Su Nuannuan had taken the water from her small handbag.

Just then, the chubby boy sitting next to Su Nuannuan nudged her arm with his elbow.

"Hey, do you want some?"

Su Nuannuan turned her head and saw a chubby little bun appear in front of her. The one who gave her the bun was the chubby boy who had been stung the most by the wasps.
