Chapter 6: How could one silk flower be exchanged for so many?
Jiang Jinning really couldn't refuse Liang Cheng's kindness.
When she offered to buy the ingredients package, she even tried to give her two ears of corn as a late-night snack.
Jiang Jinning didn't dare to take it. She grabbed the materials package and ran away. Liang Cheng chased after her, asking to add her on WeChat, but she didn't even have time to be curious about what it was.
She quickly ran to the original pharmacy, remembered the other twenty yuan she couldn't take with her, gritted her teeth, and bought the whole amount of Shengji Powder.
The young general's injury cannot be delayed any longer.
Jiang Jinning returned, and the enthusiastic shop assistant asked her a few more questions, forcing the shy and silent Jiang Jinning to say several things before she gave up the idea of taking her to see a doctor.
She should be able to take the cardboard boxes of these medicines with her, but she probably shouldn't take the silver, transparent stuff inside that she doesn't know what material it is made of. She wasn't sure if she would still have these medicines with her next time she came, so she asked the clerk for a few sheets of paper for holding medicine powder, wanting to find a place to secretly repackage them herself.
After leaving the pharmacy, she went back to that alley.
She first put the steamed buns in an oil paper bag. She bought the smallest ones from the steamer, but four of them still needed to be put in two bags.
Then he put the medicine powder into a small paper packet.
The medicines in the fairyland are all too magical. This muscle-regenerating powder looks almost the same as the one in Da Li, but the so-called cephalosporin and the antipyretic with a red figure drawn on the cardboard box are all strange things called capsules. You only need to take two capsules a day and pour out the powder inside. Each capsule contains only a little bit of powder.
Is this little bit enough to make up for a bowl of medicine?
Especially this iodine tincture, although it's called alcohol, it doesn't smell very strong. It was in a small brown bottle, and the liquid was brownish-red. I don't know how it got away with it. Da Li doesn't have this bottle.
She suddenly remembered that she still had a small bamboo tube that the young general had given her, which was perfect for holding iodine.
Jiang Jinning spent a lot of time packing, rushing around in a flurry, afraid of missing the appointed time. In the end, she wrapped all the items in a large piece of torn oil paper, silently wishing to go back.
A flash of white light, and sure enough, they returned to Da Li.
Seeing that Jiang Jinning had finally returned, Song Qingyan silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night, she only went for two hours, but tonight she went for a full three hours. If she goes any later, it will be dawn.
"Why did it take you so long..."
Song Qingyan's words suddenly stopped when he saw the little girl take out a paper package from her body and unfold it.
What did he see?
Aside from a few steamed buns, the little girl did bring back medicine!
He couldn't smell anything in some of the powders, but he recognized the most common ingredient: an external wound medicine. This was much better than the external wound medicine sold in pharmacies in Luoyang. He had been stationed at the border for many years, and while he might not be an expert in everything else, he was certainly familiar with medicines for treating injuries. A quantity of this medicine, weighing more than a pound, would cost over a hundred taels in Luoyang!
Didn't the little girl say she only sold one silk flower?
Song Qingyan was getting a little cocky.
"Did you sell these silk flowers to get them?"
Jiang Jinning didn't catch the hidden meaning in his words. Still basking in the afterglow of excitement, she whispered, "The Fairy Realm is very different from Dali. These worthless flowers are sold at high prices, but the medicine is very cheap. Little General, now your injury can be cured!"
After pondering for a moment, Song Qingyan said, "Perhaps that place has no shortage of medicine."
It's not that Dali lacks medicinal herbs, but some herbs are difficult to cultivate and are therefore precious. I don't know how this fairyland deals with these things. Among the medicines brought back, several are made from exceptional herbs.
Song Qingyan asked a few more questions to confirm that the medicine was indeed obtained by exchanging a silk flower that cost more than ten coins. Only then was he completely relieved and felt ashamed of his previous ignorance.
He was being narrow-minded, thinking that an inconspicuous flower could truly be exchanged for medicine.
"Young general, quick, let me apply the medicine for you first. Here are some steamed buns, have some first."
Before dawn, Jiang Jinning urged Song Qingyan to take off his clothes.
No one had taught her about the proper separation between men and women. In addition, in the fairyland, the young masters and ladies all came out to play in groups. Furthermore, she believed that she was already part of the young general's family. Therefore, compared to the shyness of others, she was very innocent and ignorant.
Song Qingyan, on the contrary, felt embarrassed.
"I...I'll apply the medicine myself."
"Can you do it yourself from behind?"
Jiang Jinning was genuinely curious.
The young general is omnipotent; perhaps that's truly unbelievable.
Under those clear and innocent eyes, Song Qingyan blushed to the roots of his neck.
Of course not.
"Then, thank you for your trouble." He stammered, then remembered her injuries and became worried, "Your injuries..."
I can't exactly let him apply the medicine.
That's just too... embarrassing.
Jiang Jinning had no intention of going anywhere else; she was used to taking care of herself.
"My injury is relatively close to my waist, so I can fix it myself."
Song Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Following the shop assistant's instructions, Jiang Jinning cleaned the wound as much as possible and applied iodine. She mumbled to Song Qingyan about the medicine, and this person, who usually couldn't finish a sentence, was unusually talkative this time.
The wound was too big, and there wasn't enough iodine, so I had to let it dry before applying the tissue-regenerating powder and finally wrapping it with gauze.
Because Song Qingyan had a fever, but it wasn't very high, Jiang Jinning didn't dare give him the baby medicine powder. She had been instructed that it could only be taken when he had a high fever, so she only gave him cephalosporin.
I gathered up the remaining powder and hid it on my person. Fortunately, the powder had no smell and wouldn't attract attention. However, there were some conspicuous steamed buns left, and I didn't know what to do with them.
"Leave it to me."
Song Qingyan handed one of the steamed buns directly to Song Wanzhen's mouth.
Surprisingly, Song Wanzhen, who was clearly fast asleep, started eating heartily from Song Qingyan's hand, which astonished Jiang Jinning, who was standing nearby.
How can someone eat while asleep?
As for Zhao, she had just woken up.
Song Qingyan simply said, "It was given to me by the escort, Mother, please be careful."
There was no further explanation.
Zhao, however, automatically filled in the blanks in her mind, recalling the escort Chen who had helped them out during the day, and assumed that he had slipped the gift to them under the cover of night.
"Officer Chen is a really good man. I'll have to thank him properly when I have the chance in the future."
Song Qingyan nodded seriously, not at all like he was lying.
Madam Zhao was not without her doubts. After all, even the escorts might not get to eat steamed buns of this quality, so how could they possibly give them to them? But her son had said so, and he never lied, so he shouldn't be deceiving her. Otherwise, how could she explain the origin of the steamed buns? It couldn't really be as Jiang Jinning said yesterday, that they could be prepared for dinner that night.
Jiang Jinning watched in astonishment as Zhao Shi finished eating a steamed bun without asking a single question, her mouth agape.
As dawn broke, the escorts woke up and urged them to hurry on their way.
Song Wanzhen and Zhao Shi whispered to each other, saying that she felt particularly full today and walked with extra energy. Zhao Shi brushed it off.
After rushing around for half a day, they took a short rest. Zhao was about to queue up for water, but Song Wanzhen, worried that her mother would suffer, directly asked Jiang Jinning to go instead, while they stayed behind to take care of Song Qingyan.
Jiang Jinning obediently went to fetch water. Today, it wasn't the chief escort distributing the water, so the other escorts would at most say a few unpleasant things, but they wouldn't particularly deduct their water and food allowance.
After collecting the water, Jiang Jinning noticed Chen Jiechai not far away, who seemed to be frowning and fiddling with something, as if he had encountered some trouble.
Remembering the help Chen Jiechai had given him yesterday, Jiang Jinning, who was usually timid, boldly approached Jiechai. Only then did she see clearly that he was fiddling with a tassel with a sachet hanging from it. At this moment, the tassel's rope had come loose, and he couldn't put it back together.
"Uh, I can help you..." Jiang Jinning whispered.
When Chen Jiecha saw it was her, he subconsciously frowned and stepped back. But then, remembering how this girl had protected the Duke's family a couple of days ago, he stopped and handed over the sachet with some uncertainty.
"Are you really capable of recovering completely?"
Jiang Jinning was surprised that Chen Jiechai actually believed her. She nodded repeatedly, quickly tied the loose knot, and returned it to him.
Chen Jiechai finally relaxed his brow.
This sachet was very important to him; he never expected the other person to recover so easily.
His gaze towards Jiang Jinning softened slightly. After thinking for a moment, he took out most of a cornbread bun.
"This is the half left over from yesterday, you can take it back."
Jiang Jinning was both surprised and delighted. Although they had secretly eaten steamed buns in the morning, who would complain about having too much food!
"Thank you so much, you're so kind!"
This was the first time that Chen Jiechai had been praised so directly. He coughed several times and walked away unsteadily.
This scene was witnessed by someone, but neither of them noticed.
