Chapter 261: Climbing the Mountains to Collect Herbs

Zuo Shaoyang is happy and anxious, now that he has found the mandala flower, just pay for it, and the hemostatic bandage medicine is complete, but he can't find the honeysuckle, what should I do if the grass is sick? To treat mandala poisoning, honeysuckle is the most important medicinal material, indispensable, what to do? Picking up the mountain?

After buying the mandala flowers first, Zuo Shaoyang discussed with his mother and asked her to go to the rouge gouache shop and buy all their mandala flowers back. Liang agreed and went out.

Zuo Shaoyang asked Miao Peilan: "You often chop wood, do you know where there is honeysuckle on the mountain?" The closest place to town. ”

Miao Peilan thought for a while and said: "There is Guiguling, I have been there to collect firewood, it is the closest to the city, and along the official road, on the slope of the mountain road, there are mountains, and you can reach it in half an hour if you walk a little faster." ――Do you want to pick up medicine? ”

"If you don't sell it, you can only go up the mountain to pick, but I don't know if you can go out of the city."

"When I went to the city to look for medicine just now, I passed by the city gate and saw many people going out of the city and going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. It should work. However, it is not yet the season for honeysuckle to bloom, and it usually does not bloom until around the time of the valley rains. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Let's take a look first, if you can't cut the gold and silver slippery vines, although the detoxification effect is a little worse than honeysuckle, but it is better than nothing." ”

Miao Peilan said: "Then I'll go, your legs and feet are inconvenient." ”

"Okay, there are still a few flavors of medicine to be picked up, Qiao'er's wound has suppurated, I want to use a new medicine to treat her, I want to use a few medicines that are not available in the pharmacy, I have to go up the mountain to collect."

"You draw a picture for me, and I'll pick it."

"I'll give this ...... a try."

Zuo Shaoyang can draw some funny stick figures or design drawings and the like, but it is difficult to paint medicinal materials, which require the color and shape to be very accurate, and the paintings are often different from the photos and what they see on the spot. Zuo Shaoyang tossed for a long time, and the picture he drew made Miao Peilan look at it, but she still couldn't understand it.

Zuo Shaoyang was deflated and threw the pen on the table: "Forget it, I'll go with you." ”

"But your legs ......"

"After a few days of rest, I've gotten a lot better, and it's okay to be on crutches. I just need to pick a few plants for you to see, and then I'll wait for you on the road, and you can pick them. By the way, which is the tallest mountain near us? ”

"It's the Guigu Peak of the Guigu Ridge, half of the mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds, and legend has it that there are ghosts and gods living on the peaks."

"It's higher than the Qianren Mountain in your Laohuai Village?"

"Of course, it's much higher than Qianren Mountain."

"That's right, let's go to Guigu Peak to collect medicine."

"Huh?" Miao Peilan was taken aback, "That mountain peak is too dangerous, not to mention that your leg is injured, even if you are not injured, it is not easy to climb up." ”

"Isn't it you? If you can't, you can carry me up! Hey hey"

"Okay," Miao Peilan blushed and nodded, "But why do you have to go to such a dangerous place to collect medicine?" Isn't it possible to be nearby? ”

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head helplessly: "Among the medicines for Qiao'er girl's injuries, there is a medicine called 'purple-backed geranium', which grows on very high mountains, and does not grow on ordinary slopes, so only when you go there can you pick this medicine, and it just so happens that honeysuckle also blooms there, so I picked it together by the way." ”

Miao Peilan understood and nodded: "I listen to you." ”

Not long after, Liang returned, followed by a guy from a rouge gouache shop, pushing a cart with several bags of marijuana flowers stacked on top of each other.

The goods were unloaded in the concoction room, and the shopkeeper pushed the empty cart away. Liang told Zuo Shaoyang that the shopkeeper of her rouge gouache spot said that it was okay, and she asked them to buy it when it ran out.

With so many mandala flowers, the materials used to make 10,000 rolls of bandages are enough. Originally, the amount of this medicine in the bandage was not large, and the extra can be equipped with anesthetics. It's also a big head.

Zuo Shaoyang told Zuo Gui's father and Liang that he was going to go up the mountain to collect medicine, he didn't dare to say that he was going to climb the top of Guigu Peak to collect medicine, he only said that he would go to Guigu Ridge to collect medicine Liang was anxious when he heard it, grabbed his arm and said: "This can't be done, now the enemy army outside is besieging the city, and you can't go out of the city!" It's too dangerous! Absolutely not! ”

"Mother, Master Jia said before, for the people who go out of the city, the enemy army just drives back, and does not kill directly, I said that I am Langzhong who collects medicine, and they will return to the city after collecting medicine, they should not be embarrassed."

"No! What if they don't ask indiscriminately and shoot arrows? Let someone else go. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "There are a few new medicines Peilan I don't know, she often chops firewood in the mountains and doesn't know anyone, and others don't know her, I can't draw it, I can only recognize it in person." If I don't go, I won't be able to pick it up. ”

Liang said urgently: "If you can't collect it, you can't collect it, so many patients, how can you care about so much, if there is medicine, it will be treated, and if there is no medicine, it will not be cured, and my mother will never let you take risks!" ”

"The grass girl has been poisoned by the mandala and has been unconscious, and she must find medicinal materials to detoxify as soon as possible! If you can't find it again, the grass may not survive for two days! ”

Liang wanted to say that she was just a hungry person who fled, and she could save it, but she really couldn't save it and couldn't do it, and she couldn't risk your own life for her, but she was born with a kind surname, so she thought about it in her heart, but she couldn't say it, so she took her son's hand anxiously, looked at Zuo Gui and said, "Master, you talk about Zhong'er!" ”

Zuo Gui also thought so, but it was not easy to say it clearly, so he could only say vaguely: "Zhong'er, let's just do our best, there is no need to ......"

"If you can collect medicine to save your life but don't collect it, you can't do your best!"

Zuo Gui was speechless. After thinking about it, he said, "If not, I'll pick it, just say whatever medicine you say." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "There are a few new medicines that are not commonly used, Dad, you don't know, I can't draw them, I can't say clearly, I have to go to know by myself." ”

"That's ......" Zuo Gui's father was also dumbfounded.

Liang still didn't let go, the last time his son went out to the front line to rescue the wounded, he almost died, and this time he couldn't let him go out on an adventure. But I didn't know how to stop it, so I was so anxious that I burst into tears.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that if he wanted to persuade his mother to agree to go out of the city to collect medicine, he could only know how to reason and move with affection, so he said: "Mother, this time to collect medicine, in addition to the medicine for the Cao'er girl, there are also a few medicines for Qiao'er girl's injuries, I am worried that her wounds may deteriorate further, so I must find these herbs for her treatment as soon as possible." Otherwise, it may be dangerous! ”

Qiao Qiao'er is one of the candidates for daughter-in-law, and Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and said, "Didn't you give Miss Qiao'er medicine?" ”

"That medicine is an alternative medicine, it is a case that I have to use it temporarily without these medicines, I am worried that the effect is not good, once the wound worsens, Miss Qiao'er may die! Therefore, it is necessary to find these medicines as soon as possible. ”

Liang said: "Is this medicine ...... really so urgent?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Mother, I still take my life very seriously, and I won't take this risk unless I have to." We don't go far away, just in the area of Guiguling in front, and it will only take more than an hour to come and go, and if we don't go to other places, we will pick if we can, and we will come back if we can't pick it. ”

"This ......" Liang looked at Zuo Gui, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Zuo Gui heard that there was medicine for Qiao'er's injuries, and he also felt that it was not okay not to let his son go, so he stroked his beard and said: "Go up the mountain to collect medicine and climb the slope, your leg is ...... injured."

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "We are in Guiguling, along the official road, on the small slope next to the official road, I will walk on the flat road by myself, and in the steep place, let Pei Lan carry me." Perrin has a lot of strength. ”

Miao Peilan's face was slightly red, and she said, "Don't worry, master, I will take care of Big Brother Zuo." ”

Hearing him say this, Zuo Gui and Liang couldn't say anything. Zuo Gui asked, "Then when are you going?" ”

"Now, come back when you have picked it, and say hello to the gatekeeper when the time comes."

"No way!" Liang grabbed Zuo Shaoyang's hand, "It's getting dark now, it's too dangerous to climb the mountain when it's dark!" Absolutely not! ”

Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to give in: "Then go early tomorrow morning, this is always okay, right?" Perrin said that many people went out of the city to dig wild vegetables and came back to satisfy their hunger. ”

"Okay, then please ask the eldest brother of the Li family to accompany you! There are many people, and there is a response. ”

"That'll do fine." Zuo Shaoyang agreed. Miao Peilan told Li Dazhuang in the past, and Li Dazhuang immediately promised to accompany them out of the city tomorrow morning to collect medicine.

When Zuo Shaoyang told Zuo Gui and his wife about this, Bai Zhihan had been listening silently, looking at him with strange eyes, and when they finished speaking, they took the time to ask Zuo Shaoyang in a low voice: "Young master, you are working so hard, just to save this grass girl?" ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"She's ......, she's just an ordinary refugee, and she's not related to you......"

Zuo Shaoyang sneered: "What's wrong with non-relatives? If you are not related to you, you can see death without help? ”

Bai Zhihan's face was cold, and she said lightly: "I didn't mean that, I mean, now the streets are full of people fleeing in need of treatment, you have to save, some people save you, you have as many people as you want to save." Why do you have to risk your own life and save her alone? ”

"You're right, there are a lot of people who need to be rescued now, from a rational point of view, I use the time and energy to save the grass to go to the street to help other dying people, it is true that I should be able to save more people, and there is no danger, but I have seen this grass, I admire her integrity at a young age, so I decided to save her, even if there is no such fate, just an ordinary patient, lying in the pharmacy is critically ill, I can save but not save, how can I bear it?"

"Save others before taking care of yourself, your own life is gone, how can you save others?"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "I know you're worried about me, don't worry, I'll pay attention." If you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, I won't be reluctant. I'm not going to joke with my last name. ”

Bai Zhihan stared at him deeply, and said in a low voice: "I hope you remember your words, your family is still waiting for you to come back safely!" ”

"What about you?" Zuo Shaoyang laughed casually.
