Chapter 95 Seeking Medicinal Herbs

Shen Zhihe also looked puzzled, but his expression was directed at Xu Xiaotian.

"I noticed that Xiaotian hasn't been bitten by mosquitoes. Did you apply any medicine to Xiaotian when you came?"

Upon hearing Shen Zhihe's words, Shen Yuan immediately retorted.

"How could this be! Dad, you must be mistaken!"

Actually, what Shen Yuan really wanted to say was: Old eyesight is failing.

Xu Heyi also felt that Shen Zhihe had misjudged the situation. Knowing how venomous the mosquitoes were in this area, he pulled his son from behind and tried to apply some mosquito repellent to him.

However, like Shen Zhihe, after checking for a long time, he couldn't find any signs of mosquito bites on Xu Xiaotian's body.

“Yuanyuan, Dad didn’t see wrong. Xiaotian really hasn’t been bitten by mosquitoes.”

Since her father and husband both said so, Shen Yuan began to believe them.

However, she still personally checked Xu Xiaotian's body. This time, Xu Xiaotian had escaped his maternal grandfather's notice, but not his biological mother's. His clothes were stripped off again, and Shen Yuan discovered that her son truly had no mosquito bites.

Seeing this, Shen Zhihe inquired.

"How is this going?"

Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Seeing his father's determined attitude of not giving up until he knew the truth, Shen Yuan said helplessly.

"Perhaps it's a coincidence."

Xu Heyi nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's answer, Shen Zhihe was displeased. Once could be a coincidence, but what about twice? Moreover, he suspected that even if he threw his grandson into a swarm of mosquitoes, his grandson would be unharmed.

Xu Xiaotian, feeling uneasy under Shen Zhihe's gaze, huddled closer to his father.

Xu Heyi was dressing Xu Xiaotian when Xu Xiaotian suddenly moved, causing him to loosen his grip and the shirt to fall to the ground.

The little tiger mosquito repellent sachet, which had been pulled off along with the shirt, also fell out and rolled to Shen Zhihe's feet.

Shen Zhihe picked it up. He had never seen this mosquito repellent sachet on his grandson before, and he was a little curious.

"what is this?"

As he spoke, he even sniffed it. However, perhaps due to wearing it for a long time, the overwhelming smell was of sweat.

Shen Yuan also noticed the medicine packet in Shen Zhihe's hand and replied.

"This is a mosquito repellent sachet that Nuannuan made herself. She gave it to me when I came last time."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Shen Zhihe, who was holding the medicine bag, paused, turned to look at Shen Yuan, and asked.

"What did you say?"

Stared at by Shen Zhihe, Shen Yuan was somewhat at a loss for words and subconsciously replied.

"It was given to Nuannuan when she came last time."

Shen Zhihe shook his head and said.

"No, it's the previous sentence."

"This is...this is a mosquito repellent sachet that Nuannuan made herself?"

Shen Yuan was somewhat puzzled as to why Shen Zhihe would ask. However, she still answered his question.

Unlike Shen Yuan, who was completely bewildered, Shen Zhihe was beaming with joy as he touched Xu Xiaotian's little tiger mosquito repellent sachet as if it were something precious.

Shen Zhihe seemed to have thought of something, and his fingers began to rub the medicine packet. Sure enough, after a while, he found a gap. This gap was connected to a long rope, and when Shen Zhihe pulled it, a large gash was opened in the previously tightly sealed belly of the little tiger.

Shen Zhihe reached inside and felt around with his fingers, then pulled the thing out with a forceful tug. The once plump little tiger instantly deflated, becoming an empty shell.

Upon seeing this, Xu Xiaotian's lips trembled instantly, and he looked as if he was about to cry.

Xu Heyi immediately coaxed.

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't cry, Daddy will conjure up your little tiger in a little while."

Seeing his grandson about to cry, Shen Zhihe's face flashed with embarrassment. However, instead of stuffing the medicine packet back in, he found a wad of cotton and stuffed it in, instantly restoring the shriveled little tiger to its original shape. He handed it to Xu Xiaotian, whose eyes were brimming with tears. Xu Xiaotian was instantly comforted, took the little tiger, hung it around his neck, and even tucked it into his clothes.

Shen Zhihe couldn't help but twitch his lips as he thought of the stench of sweat he had just smelled.

After Xu Xiaotian was appeased, the group's attention shifted to the item that Shen Zhihe had just taken out of the tiger cub.

"Dad, what is this?"

Xu Heyi also looked at Shen Zhihe.

Shen Zhihe glanced at Shen Yuan and his wife, and said irritably.

"A mosquito repellent sachet! Isn't that obvious?"

The daughter is good at everything except inheriting any of her medical talent, and the same goes for her son-in-law. Shen Zhihe didn't keep him in suspense and began to explain.

"This is the medicine core inside the mosquito repellent sachet; it contains the medicinal ingredients for the sachet."

After Shen Zhihe finished speaking, he put the white medicine capsule to his nose and began to sniff it. He closed his eyes, twitched his nose, and spoke as he sniffed the mosquito repellent sachet.

"Artemisia argyi, perilla, cloves, patchouli, mint..."

After reciting the entire formula for the mosquito repellent sachets, Shen Zhihe frowned.

"No, this is just a very common mosquito repellent formula, how could it possibly have such a good effect?"

Shen Zhihe was puzzled. He had also prepared such mosquito repellent sachets, but the effect was far from sufficient to repel mosquitoes. Therefore, he stopped using this formula and instead made his own mosquito repellent liquid.

Therefore, he was surprised that this ordinary mosquito repellent sachet could help his grandson avoid mosquito bites twice.

What surprised him even more was that Su Nuannuan made the medicine pack herself.

Could there be some medicinal herbs inside that he didn't smell?
Shen Zhihe was puzzled. You see, he was very confident in his nose; no medicinal herb could escape its detection.

Seeing Shen Zhihe's furrowed brows, Shen Yuan spoke softly.

"Dad, I have several more. I can get them for you if you want."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Shen Zhihe's eyes lit up, and he replied.

"it is good!"

Knowing that his daughter still had some, Shen Zhihe put the medicine gallbladder back into his grandson, Little Tiger's, stomach.

The next day, Shen Yuan kept three for himself and gave the rest to Shen Zhihe.

After receiving the mosquito repellent kit, Shen Zhihe discovered that apart from the outer packaging being different from the one Xu Xiaotian was wearing, the rest of the kit was exactly the same.

With that, Shen Zhihe was relieved.

He eagerly opened a medicine packet, took out the white medicine capsule inside, cut open the outermost white membrane with scissors, and poured out the powder inside.

Shen Zhihe discovered that the formula for the medicine powder was still a general mosquito repellent formula, but the medicinal effects of the herbs in it seemed to be much better than those of ordinary herbs.

Shen Zhihe was very excited after making this discovery.

However, he has already used up all the mosquito repellent packets that Shen Yuan gave him.

So, when the week was over, Shen Zhihe asked Shen Yuan to buy some mosquito repellent sachets from Su Nuannuan. If possible, he also wanted to buy some of the medicinal herbs Su Nuannuan had for making the sachets.

After listening to Shen Yuan's explanation, Su Nuannuan suddenly understood.

Su Nuannuan didn't think much of Shen Zhihe's discovery of the magic of mosquito repellent sachets, given that he was an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Shen Yuan was a little embarrassed and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, do you still have mosquito repellent sachets here? Can I buy some from you?"

Su Nuannuan waved her hand and said.

"Godmother, we're out of mosquito repellent sachets. But we still have some medicinal herbs. If you don't mind, you can take them back for Grandpa Shen. These herbs were all picked from the hill behind my house, and they're free."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan went back to her room and, out of sight of Shen Garden, took out some prepared medicinal herbs from her spatial storage.

Shen Yuan was very happy after receiving the medicinal herbs.
