Chapter 216: Collecting Herbs

On an island in the middle of the lake.

On the third day of the plague, the number of dead increased by more than two decades. Seeing that the plague really killed people, the people of the island began to endanger themselves, and in the hot summer, wearing masks became a popular trend on the island in the middle of the lake.

The plague seems to have only been on its third day, but it may have appeared much earlier. It's just that it's normal for an old man to die in another continent, and no one will care too much about it at first, if it weren't for the scene in the district, Hong wouldn't have found out that there was a plague.

Not to mention the time, the people of the other continent have no sense of protection, and Hong only gave them a simple quarantine, but fortunately, they relied on their strong physique to deal with this life-threatening plague.

Early in the morning, Silverstone and Rainbow no longer cared about the number of deaths, they still had to collect herbs today, and in the morning Yuriam had already boiled three pots of medicinal soup with large green leaves and a little pulsatilla, and the medicine and the record of the illness were still handed over to her and the blue bird.

After explaining clearly, breakfast was also hastily solved, Yinshi carefully brought the noon food, he could not eat for three days, but he was reluctant to let his woman be hungry.

The three carts that drove into the jungle yesterday were still following the rainbow, and after getting acquainted with the road, Silverstone took the rainbow to the front, and the dog and vanilla sat on the second cart, and finally the two of them were Shanlin and Shanhu.

A few people arrived at the place where the big green leaves were collected yesterday, and it seemed that there were at least two carts as many, so Hong decisively stopped and collected all the herbs in front of him first.

I was busy with these tasks in the morning, and when the sun rose overhead, there was not a trace of wind on the edge of the jungle, and there were no tall trees on the side of the mountain to block it.

Silverstone picked a few large leaves for her to sit down, she was in a hurry, every death in the territory made her heart ache, her chest was scorching, and she wanted to collect more herbs quickly, so that she could save one more life.

Everyone rested under the big tree and settled lunch by the way, and Hong instructed the dog and another person to drive the cart to transport the big green leaves back to dry, and not to come back today until they found new herbs.

After sending away the dog and the two-board cart of herbs, Hong looked at the ground that had been dug up under her feet, and began to worry about other herb growing places.

"Mountain Tiger, do you still know of a place with such herbs nearby?" Hong had no choice but to throw the problem to the mountain tiger who had lived here since childhood.

Shan Hu looked at several people staring at their faces with hope, and thought about it carefully: "Lord Doctor, captain, I still know a place where the blades of grass are the same as here, a large patch, and the grass there are all the same three leaves, why don't we go and take a look." ”

Three-leaf herbs?

Hong thought about it carefully, isn't it Xiao Tiannanxing, that is, Banxia in traditional Chinese medicine? But now, whether there are herbs or not, they can only take a trip to take a look.

What if there really is? It's better to have hope than to wander around, and after the discussion, Silverstone drove the carriage and was once again guided by the mountain tiger to the next herbal destination.

This time they were far away, and the cart was bumping in the roadless jungle, and the people who were swaying were more uncomfortable than motion sickness. The weather was so hot that even the horses were not in their usual spirits, but when a few people reached the foot of another mountain, they parked the carriage at the edge of the jungle, and a few people got down to the ground and began to hike to the side of the mountain.

The hot and humid weather, combined with the smell of rotting grass in the jungle, did not smell good at all, and the smell of a large swarm of flies buzzing past the corpses of the carrion was simply disgusting.

However, Silverstone and Mountain Tiger are used to being in the jungle, and even the vanilla that adapts to the otherworldly continent is fine, and the biggest reaction is still rainbow. The smell of humus wafted over her, her chest churned, and she vomited all the food in her stomach at noon.

Yinshi helped the weak woman, and quickly brought a water bladder for Hong to rinse her mouth, and Hong drank another breath of water before she felt alive.

Silverstone asked distressedly, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

Hong leaned against the man's chest and exhaled, "No need, let's go!" I'm going back to the territory before it gets dark! ”

Her words are undeniable, the jungle after dark is extremely dangerous, it was already afternoon when they came, and now they should be a little faster, but Hong'er's body makes him feel uneasy.

"Let's go! Mountain tigers lead the way. Rainbow stood up and said.

The mountain tiger and vanilla walked in the front, and the rainbow was supported by Silverstone and walked behind. When Hongyou's feet hurt, she saw the two people in front of her stop, she looked up at the hillside, it didn't matter what she saw, this scene made Hong overjoyed.

The blades of grass in the mouth of the mountain tiger in front of her were the Banxia she had in mind, but the real surprise was not this Banxia, but another plant on the slope of the mountain.

This large expanse of plants is: woody.

Woody is the root of the woody fragrance of the Asteraceae plant, cylindrical or flat cylindrical. The surface is yellowish-brown, grayish-brown or tan, the cork skin has mostly been removed, there are open longitudinal grooves and lateral root marks, and sometimes reticular texture can be seen. The aroma is strong and specific, the taste is sweet first and then bitter, slightly pungent to the tongue. It is mainly used to relieve pain, strengthen the spleen and eliminate food.

Woody, spicy, warm.

The wood aroma is hot, the taste is bitter, and it is non-toxic. Returning to the scriptures: returning to the spleen; Large intestine, three focal meridians. Liver meridian. It enters the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, and bladder six meridians.

Wood incense has qi, pain relief, spleen, and digestion

Indications: Qi relieves pain; Adjust the hysteresis. Aortic flank swelling satisfaction ; abdominal distension and pain; belching and diarrhea; Severe dysentery. It is used for chest pain, diarrhea and dysentery, food accumulation, and lack of diet; unconscious; sudden deafness; snake bites; Toothache.

In the "Book of Materia Medica", it is recorded that the wood incense has suppression, evil energy, poison and epidemic, warm ghosts, strong will, and main dew. I don't have a nightmare for a long time.

It is recorded in the "Separate Record" that the wood fragrance has, disinfection, killing ghosts and essences, warm malaria Gu poison, lack of inferior qi, cold in the muscles, and the essence of medicine.

Seeing so many herbs, the joy in Hong's heart couldn't be suppressed. Anyway, Hong Du felt that she had really picked up a treasure that day, and the haze that had been suppressed for a few days finally cleared up at this moment, and now with the two flavors of wood fragrance and banxia, she had greater confidence in dealing with this plague.

Hong's excited hand tightened, and the big hand of the man who was holding her immediately clasped her slender five fingers, and Hong Gu said happily: "Thank you, Mountain Tiger." You are really my lucky star, and you are also a great hero of the island in the middle of the lake. ”

The mountain tiger's immature face could not hide his excitement, he did not expect that this seemingly ordinary weed would be the antidote that could save people's lives in the mouth of the doctor, and it seemed that the sick clansmen were saved.

Shanhu smiled and said, "The doctor is the savior of the island in the middle of the lake." ”

Silverstone's face darkened, unhappy. How can Xiao Hong'er praise other men?

"Let's get to work!" Silverstone Road.

Hong doesn't know what kind of madness the man has, but these are small things, and the happy digging of herbs is a big thing, Hong ran directly to the side of Mu Xiang, picked up the grass stem of Mu Xiang, and dug out the roots of Mu Xiang with a stone shovel, which is the real medicinal material that can be tasted.

There were few trees on the hillside, and a few people had been digging herbs in the sun, but it was okay for a short time, and the rainbow covered in sweat fainted after a long time.

"Hong'er" Yinshi hurriedly helped the person in his arms to the shade of the tree, wiped her face with the water of the water bladder, Hongcai woke up, and as soon as the person woke up, he was going to dig herbs, and this time Yinshi didn't let go.

Hong had to be obedient and rest, watching the vanilla in full swing, there was nothing to do, and she hated her body even more in her heart, she was not even as good as a little girl.

It's just that Hong can't deny that Vanilla, a little girl, is a person who has lived in another continent since she was born, and compared to her, a traverser, her physique is not a little stronger.

As the sun set, the wood incense dug by several people was piled up and the whole cart could not be loaded, so Hong had to pile up the herbs that could not be taken away, so that the warriors who would come tomorrow would bring them back to the island in the middle of the lake.

On the way back, Silverstone galloped all the way in the carriage, and when she returned to the entrance of the island in the middle of the lake, it was already dark, and the warrior guarding the gate looked at Hongdu with a little fear, and did not greet her as friendly as before.

Maybe because there were patients infected with the plague in each clan's family, so the clansmen he met along the way were in a depressed mood, and Hong also returned to his home with a sad face.

When they got home, Yuri Eminem and Blue Bird had just returned from sending medicine, and Yuri was cooking dinner for the two of them.

Hong's undressing is amazing, not only are there dense small cuts on her feet, but she was cut by blades of grass in the jungle, and her body was bitten by mosquitoes with many big buds.

Hong couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the mosquitoes in the jungle are more ferocious than the present world!

After washing clean, Hong felt that she was alive again, and as soon as she sat down at the dinner table, she began to gobble up, she ate little in the morning, and vomited all at noon, and now her whole stomach was empty, and it was strange to see the food in her eyes.

Yinshi helped Hong wipe the oil stains that had been eaten to his mouth, and persuaded softly: "Little gluttonous cat, eat slowly and no one will rob you?" ”

Vanilla rolled her eyes and said, "My brother only remembers to hurt his sister-in-law now, and he doesn't hurt vanilla at all." After the little girl finished speaking, she didn't forget to cry and purse her lips with a sad face, looking presentable.

Silverstone and Honggu were amused by the little girl, and Silverstone sandwiched a piece of meat and put it into the bowl of herbs and said, "Eat, eat a big fat man and no man will want it in the future." ”

Vanilla glared at Yinshi, put the chopsticks on the table, and shouted angrily: "Sister-in-law, do you see my brother? ”

Seeing that Yuli Am wanted to laugh and desperately held back, Hong hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Vanilla is not fat, there are many good warriors who like our vanilla, let's ignore your brother, hurry up and eat it." ”

Vanilla then picked up the chopsticks again, and then feasted. Hong couldn't help but shake her head, the little girl was spoiled by Yinshi, and she couldn't listen to her brother say a bad word about her.

Actually, Hong is quite envious of vanilla, although there is a fake Eminem like Liwei, but in the end, Silverstone has hurt her since she was a child, unlike her who only has a grandfather.

She still remembers that on the first day she went to the Mountain Forest Continent, when Vanilla threw herself into Silverstone's arms and cried out of breath, Silverstone patiently coaxed her...... once made her think that vanilla was his woman, but she didn't expect the two to come together later, and now they are still eating with the little girl.

This only shows that the world is unpredictable!

After dinner, the blue bird who was waiting on the side took out his notebook and began to seriously report the situation of the patients on the island in the middle of the lake to Hong.

Three people died on the first day of the island, all women and old people.

Seven people died yesterday, all of whom were bedridden and unable to work.

Twenty-nine people died today, most of them were women, one was a child as young as six years old, and only one was an adult warrior, and the warrior did not drink the medicine in the two days.

What Hong is most afraid of is this, after getting sick, he will not isolate, he will not drink medicine, the key is that such a fate will not only kill himself, but also infect others...

Hong listened to the blue bird's report, and couldn't help frowning again.
