The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 547 Rushing to the capital and discovering the sword grass

The kids went home, packed some daily necessities and put them in the boundary bead. After saying goodbye to their families, they followed Lin Xi and left Linshan Village. They did not take the official road, but took the path in the forest.

After traveling for a long time, the kids stopped in front of a mountain that towered into the clouds.

"Boss, where are we going next?"

Chen Qing, who followed Lin Xi to explore the way, looked at the endless mountains in front of him and asked Lin Xi for his opinion.

Lin Xi had an idea and took out a map from the boundary bead. After looking at it for a while, he pointed to a mountain range and said, "We are here. This is already in Guanxi Prefecture. There is no one living near this mountain range. Notify the team members and let's fly directly over!"

"Yes! Boss!"

Chen Qing clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned and flew towards his companions who were resting five miles away.

The kids all used the steps they learned from Fan Xing to go up the mountain. They were very fast, and even though the mountain was very high, it only took them fifteen minutes to reach the other side of the mountain.

"Boss, look, are those Yingxiang and Fattya?"

Daya suddenly pointed at two figures not far away and asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked in the direction of her finger and saw two girls bending over and digging something from the ground. It looked like they were picking herbs.

"It's them. How did these two girls get to the deep mountains? You continue on your way to the capital. I'll go over and take a look! I'll catch up with you in a while!"

After Lin Xi left this sentence, he fell to the ground and walked towards Yingxiang and Pangya.

"Yingxiang, Pangya, why did you come to the deep mountains? Aren't you afraid of wild animals?"

Lin Xi walked lightly behind the two and asked softly.

Yingxiang and Pangya were startled when they heard someone talking suddenly. The two people who were squatting suddenly sat back on the ground.

When they saw that the person coming was Lin Xi, they showed surprise, got up, wiped their hands on themselves, and then each of them grabbed one of Lin Xi's sleeves.

"Miss Lin, why are you here suddenly? Pang Ya and I came here to pick herbs."

Yingxiang pointed at the herb they were digging and smiled at Lin Xi.

Fatty didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Xi and smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits.

Just now, the two of them blocked the herb, so Lin Xi didn't see it. Now he looked at the ground and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Sword grass!"

Hearing the two words that Lin Xi blurted out, Pang Ya picked up the herb and looked at Lin Xi and said, "Miss Lin, it turns out that this herb is called sword grass. It's a good name. Its leaves are very thick and sharp, and its shape really looks like a sword."

"Yingxiang, Fatty, are you here specifically to pick this sword grass? Are you going to sell it?"

Lin Xi took the herb from Pang Ya and looked at it carefully. She was not mistaken. This was the sword grass she was looking for. It was really easy to get!

"Well, we went deep into the mountains just to find this sword grass. Before the Chinese New Year, my mother and her friends came back from selling vegetables in town and suddenly fell ill. They consulted several doctors but none of them could cure her. She accidentally drank the water boiled with this grass, and her symptoms were alleviated a lot. However, this grass is very rare, and we only found two plants after climbing here!"

Pang Ya frowned when she thought of her mother and others who kept coughing at night.

"Miss Lin, when I went to Zhenshan to buy medicine for the aunts, I found that many people in the town also had the same disease as the aunts, coughing, chest tightness, and almost unable to breathe! I heard from the doctor that this disease is very likely to be contagious to others, and he asked us to cover our faces with scarves when taking care of the aunts."

After Yingxiang finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing a few times, which frightened Pangya so much that her face turned pale. "Yingxiang, you're not sick too, are you?"

"Miss Lin, Fatty, the two of you should stay away from me and put on your masks. I might have been infected with the disease as well."

Yingxiang raised her arms, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and quickly backed away. When she was some distance away from Lin Xi and Pang Ya, she took her arms down.

Fatty didn't dare to delay for a moment. She skillfully took out a pure white face towel from her arms and covered her mouth and nose. Seeing that Lin Xi didn't move, she thought that Lin Xi didn't bring a face towel, so she took out another one from her arms and handed it to Lin Xi.

"Miss Lin, this piece has not been used. Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose. It will be very troublesome if you get infected with this disease."

Lin Xi pushed back her hand holding the face towel, put down the sword grass in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm in good health, I'm not afraid, you stay here and don't move, I'll go over to check on Yingxiang."

After saying that, without waiting for Pang Ya to speak, she flashed in front of Yingxiang, frightening her so much that she covered her mouth and nose again and quickly stepped back, while advising: "Miss Lin, don't get too close to me, put on your face towel quickly, I can't infect you with this disease."

Seeing that Yingxiang was not going to let her get close to him unless she brought a face mask, Lin Xi had no choice but to reach into his sleeve, take out a black face mask from the boundary bead and put it on, then walked up to Yingxiang and took her pulse.

While taking the patient's pulse, Lin Xi carefully asked Yingxiang, Pang Yaniang and others about their symptoms. He also looked at Yingxiang's tongue and finally confirmed that it was an epidemic!

Seeing Lin Xi frowning and remaining silent, Ying Xiang smiled and said, "Miss Lin, is this disease incurable? It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have lived for such a long time and are not afraid of death. It's just that it's really uncomfortable to suffer these pains before death."

The medicines prescribed by the doctors in their town were ineffective. In desperation, they had to collect and test the herbs themselves according to the herbal knowledge that Lin Xi had taught them and the books that she had left for them. They tried their best to give it a try. Seeing Lin Xi frowning, they thought that she couldn't cure the disease either.

Lin Xi, who was thinking about the prescription, heard Yingxiang's words, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who said this disease can't be cured? It can be cured, but it's a bit troublesome. I need to go back and find some people to help. I will send you down the mountain first, and then bring people over. You just wait in the village."

Hearing Lin Xi say that the disease can be cured, the worries on Yingxiang and Pangya's faces disappeared. They put on their backpacks, looked at Lin Xi and said, "Miss Lin, we can go down the mountain by ourselves. Since the battle with the Jin soldiers, the wild beasts in the mountains nearby have almost disappeared. Miss Lin, you don't have to worry about our safety."

"Yes, we have come to this mountain to collect herbs many times. We can go back by ourselves."

Seeing the two of them say this, Lin Xi thought that it would take some time to get back to Linshan Village, and her time was too tight to waste, so she smiled and nodded, agreeing to let Yingxiang and Pang Ya go down the mountain by themselves.

Seeing Yingxiang put the sword grass into the backpack behind her, she reached out and took one out and asked, "Can I take one sword grass? This grass will be very useful to me!"

"Of course, let's give this one to Miss Lin as well!"

Hearing Lin Xi say that this grass would be useful to her, Yingxiang took down the backpack and handed another sword grass to Lin Xi, asking her to take it.

"One plant is enough for me. Please come down the mountain quickly. I will bring a doctor to treat you!"

Lin Xi said with a smile, then turned and walked into the woods and soon disappeared.
