Shi Chen looked at the plants on the table, the delicate branches and leaves and unique small flowers were exactly the silver-backed astragalus he needed.

It's just that Lin Baicao and Su Liben's disappearance yesterday was just to find it?

Shi Chen thought so in his heart, so he asked, "Old Su, you have disappeared for so long just to find it?"

Su Liben nodded, "Yes, Lao Lin and I are tired. ”

"You put it away first, I'll go to rest with Lao Su, if there's anything, let's talk about it when we go to sleep." ”

Lin Baicao struggled to stand up with his hands on the edge of the sofa, and the bones in his waist were clicking.

Looking at the two tired old men, Shi Chen was very moved.

Silverback Astragalus was one of the herbs needed in that ancient prescription, and Shi Chen had been thinking about it recently.

But Shi Chen thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that it would be obtained in this way.

This affection for the fist made Shi Chen moved.

Su Cheng saw Su Liben walking towards the room, and hurriedly got up and grabbed his arm, "Brother Shi Chen, you go to help Uncle Lin, and I will help my father to the room." ”

"Ah, good. Shi Chen withdrew his gaze from the silver-backed astragalus and helped Lin Baicao to walk outside the courtyard.

"You don't know, Lao Su has always felt guilty about you, so he dragged me to such a far place. Lin Baicao was supported by Shi Chen, and talked about the situation at that time with a smile, "This silver-backed astragalus was found in the bushes after he couldn't support it and fell to the ground." ”

Shi Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly, "What is Lin Lao talking about, I not only got the small double flower and wild ginseng from Su Lao, but also got the thousand-year-old "Fuxi Needle Method", there is no guilt at all." ”

That's what I told him, but he insisted on it, and fortunately he didn't waste his time in vain. ”

Lin Baicao walked very slowly, and the old man over sixty years old did not sleep for a long time, and his physical function had dropped to the minimum.

"Alas......" Shi Chen pushed open the door of the guest room and sighed, his heart churning.

This friendship is too thick, and it is the first generous care that Shi Chen encountered after his rebirth.

Especially Su Liben was only an old man he had only met two or three times, and he treated Shi Chen like an elder in the family.

In this way, Shi Chen, who was accustomed to seeing killing in his previous life, was greatly moved, and his heart was extremely warm.

Lin Baicao lay stiffly on the bed, and said tiredly, "Sigh, go and put away the silver-backed astragalus, old man, I also have to rest." ”

The wounds on his body had scabbed, and several of them were quite severe, and the dried blood scabs were overlapping on top of each other, making people look unbearable.

"What about these injuries?" Shi Chen was originally going to help Lin Baicao down, so he immediately went to prepare some external Chinese medicine for him.

"Out of the way, just rest for a while. Lin Baicao waved his hand indifferently.

When he was younger, he was much more injured than he is now in search of herbs in search of herbs.

"Then Lin Lao have a good rest, I'll go first. ”

Shi Chen bent slightly to Lin Baicao, turned around and softly closed the door of the room, and walked towards the courtyard.

With the addition of the silver-backed astragalus, Shi Chen now has the four-flavor herbs in his hands, and the medicine introduction Xiaoshuanghua and the most important three-flavor herbs are all in his hands.

Back in the living room, in the bedroom with the door open, Su Cheng was taking a medical bag to treat Su Liben's wounds.

Shi Chen didn't bother, he sat quietly next to the wooden table, looking at the silver-backed astragalus on the table.

"Little friend, put it away quickly!" Su Liben lay on the bed and stretched out his head to look into the living room, and when he saw Shi Chen coming in, he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Good. Shi Chen nodded, carefully removed the soil from the roots of the silver-backed astragalus, and then put it in his backpack along with the small double flower and wild ginseng.

More than 100 kilometers away, deep mountains infested with wild beasts at any time, and the two old men did not sleep for nearly thirty hours, which can be felt in the difficulty just by thinking about it.

If Shi Chen knew in advance, he would definitely not let them do it.

Touching his somewhat sour nose, Shi Chen put his backpack next to the sofa.

"Xiao Cheng, have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?" Su Liben saw Shi Chen put away the silver-backed astragalus, and then lay back on the bed with peace of mind.

Su Cheng nodded, "It's all ready, I have prepared gifts for Uncle Gongsun and Uncle Shen, do you want to inform them in advance?"

"No notice, it's not a big deal. Su Liben shook his head and smiled, "This time I went to you to stay in Donglai Province for a few more days, and asked them about their affairs over the years for me." Remember to be polite, although it is not common, but in my heart, they are no different from brothers. ”

If he hadn't gone to South Vietnam with all his enthusiasm, I'm afraid he would have lived in Dong Lai Province now, opened a small hospital, and had a good life to drink tea and play cards with his old friends in his spare time.

It's a pity that there is only one time in a lifetime, and since I have already chosen, there is no chance to start over.

Su Cheng rubbed iodine wine on Su Liben's injured place, and joked with a smile, "Father, I seem to be an underage child when I hear you say it." ”

"As long as your father is alive for one day, don't say that you are only fifty now, that is, seventy or eighty, in my eyes, there is still no difference between you and a child. ”

Su Liben stretched out his rough palm and touched Su Cheng's arm, and his cloudy eyes were full of doting looks.

In the room, the father and son had a deep relationship, and in the living room, Shi Chen sat on the sofa, thinking about what to do when he returned to Huaxia.

It stands to reason that after leaving Yu City for so long, I should go back.

But now that only four of the nine herbs have been obtained, if you return to Yu City at this juncture, it is impossible to get any too valuable clues based on the development of Yu City alone.

But if you don't go back, Yushi still has a bunch of things to deal with by yourself......

After some struggle, Shi Chen got up and came to Su Liben, "Old Su, I want to ask you about something." ”

"Ah, Shi Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Su Liben was supported by Su Cheng and leaned on the bed.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of such a five-flavor Chinese herb. Shi Chen hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Su Liben what he needed.

If you want to find it after returning to Yu City, I am afraid it will be several times more difficult than now.

"Which five flavors?" Su Liben waved his hand and motioned for Su Cheng to put away the gauze and iodine wine.

"Snake venom silk ginseng, male weight grass, white soybean, ambergris from adult sperm whales, and tatamansi tortoise shells. ”

Shi Chen paused and said all the remaining five-flavor Chinese herbs he needed in one go.

Hearing Shi Chen's words, Su Liben and Su Cheng, father and son, glanced at each other, and they all fell into silence.

"I've seen ambergris and white soybean, and I've also heard of jatamansi tortoiseshell and yang heavy grass. Su Liben motioned for Su Cheng to help him up and sit next to Shi Chen, "It's just the snake venom silk ginseng you said, even if I have studied Chinese medicine all my life, I have never heard of this name." ”
