Chapter 17: Going Up the Mountain to Collect Medicine (2)
Mo Yuan finally got his wish and went to collect medicine with Yin Lingyue, such a rare time alone made him both excited and nervous.
Compared with Mo Yuan's ecstasy, Yin Lingyue was much calmer, for her, this was an ordinary medicine collection, just like thousands of medicine collections on Changbai Mountain, if she didn't reach her goal, she would not give up.
Yin Lingyue according to her own hand-drawn map, methodically looking for the destination, the place she is looking for this time is called Baiqi Pond, as the name suggests, it is a small pool about 100 feet deep, but this is not an ordinary small pool, its water quality is special, the soil is fertile, the environment is beautiful, the climate is excellent, and only in this way can occupy the place where the time and place are favorable, can give birth to such a precious treasure of heaven and earth.
Yin Lingyue came out this time, because she had already made up her mind to find those few medicines, these medicines were indispensable in Mo Yuan's eye treatment plan, Yin Lingyue tried more than once to replace them with other medicines, but in the end it ended in failure.
Yin Lingyue carefully studied the prescriptions left by the doctors who had treated Mo Yuan before, among them there were many experienced and skilled doctors, and their treatment plans were similar to Yin Lingyue's plans, and it could even be said that except for these few medicines, their prescriptions were basically the same.
The doctors had spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what the missing herbs were, but they had failed.
Yin Lingyue basically didn't take many detours to find the answer, not because she was better or smarter than those doctors, but because she was well-read and well-informed since she was a child, and she knew a lot of things, even those extremely rare and little-known drugs, she also dabbled in them, and she was really a little doctor idiot.
I don't know how long they walked, they rested a few times in the middle, and finally arrived at the place recorded in the book, but they couldn't find Baiqi Lake, Yin Lingyue was a little unwilling, and searched around again and again, but never found it, could it be that the record in the book was wrong? This is the only reason Yin Lingyue can think of.
"Yueyue, does Baiqitan really exist? Or does it only exist in books, imagined by people? Mo Yuan couldn't help but ask Yin Lingyue.
"It must exist, there is a detailed record in your brother's codex, and there is also a hundred-foot pond drawn by him in Mo Tang's study, which means that he has been to the hundred-foot pond, since your brother has already been there, the hundred-foot pond naturally exists, but we can't find it now."
"Yueyue, how did you know that the painting in your brother's study is a hundred feet of pond? Could it be somewhere else? ”
Yin Lingyue immediately rejected Mo Yuan's assumption, "No, the painting has three words written on it, and there is also a poem with Mo Tang's inscription, it must be Baiqi Pond, and the scenery on Mo Yuan's painting is exactly the same as the scenery described in the codex, there will be no mistake." ”
Mo Yuan nodded and said, "I know, isn't the hundred-foot pond painted by my brother very beautiful?" ”
"Of course, otherwise why do you think Ziyun is so desperate to go with us? But anyone who has seen that painting does not want to see the scenery in the painting for themselves! It is a wonderland of nature, a wonderland left behind in the world, even if I have only seen it in a painting, it is worth exploring and adventuring for it, as long as I think that I have the privilege of witnessing its beauty, my heart is full of anticipation. ”
Yin Lingyue took Mo Yuan's hand and searched carefully on the mountain, the description of Baiqi Lake in the codex left by Mo Tang in his study should not be far from here, but Yin Lingyue wandered around this mountainous area many times, and did not find anything strange.
Could it be that Baiqitan really only exists in books? However, how could Mo Tang's painting clearly depict a fairyland-like place on earth? Could it be that those exquisite, dreamlike scenery were all imagined by Mo Tang himself?
Yin Lingyue began to doubt what he said just now, it stands to reason that Baiqi Lake should be around here, there is no reason and there is nothing.
Yin Lingyue is unwilling, if Baiqitan does not exist, then where should she find the medicines she wants? She couldn't think of any other place where she could have such unique conditions to grow such a natural treasure.
"Yueyue, we'll find out." It seemed that sensing Yin Lingyue's mood swings, Mo Yuan wanted to encourage Yin Lingyue not to give up.
"Yes, it must exist." Yin Lingyue's words seemed to be said to Mo Yuan, but they were more like comforting to herself.
Yin Lingyue, who had stabilized her mind, began to search on the mountain again, thinking that if she couldn't find Baiqi Pond, she could find other medicines, and she couldn't go home empty-handed.
Yin Lingyue has good eyesight and sees things very carefully, at this time, she is carefully scanning every corner, for fear of missing any details.
About half an hour later, Yin Lingyue suddenly paused, her eyes lit up, and her eyes looked at a herb on the edge of the steep slope in front of her without blinking.
"Xiao Yuan, I found a treasure, this is an unexpected harvest, I saw it in an ancient medical book before, but I never found it, but I didn't expect to find it here."
Yin Lingyue jumped up and down happily, laughing constantly, and affected by her happy mood, Mo Yuan also laughed out loud.
"You stay here, I'll go pick it up." After Yin Lingyue finished speaking, she didn't wait for Mo Yuan to speak, and walked straight to the side of the steep slope.
Mo Yuan shook her head helplessly, she was still like this, doing things in a hurry, completely casual.
Yin Lingyue stood on the edge of the steep slope and looked down, and vaguely saw that there was a jungle under the slope, and the clouds and mist above the jungle were ethereal, ethereal, quite a bit of fairyland, but because of the clouds covering the fog, he couldn't see how deep it was.
Yin Lingyue stretched out her hand to reach the herbs, but the herbs were far away, so she couldn't reach them.
Looking around, she found a dwarf shrub leaning out next to her, Yin Lingyue didn't think much about it, she climbed directly onto the dwarf shrub, this time, she finally reached the herbs, Yin Lingyue plucked the herbs and carefully put them into her bamboo basket.
As soon as Yin Lingyue raised his head, he saw Mo Yuan groping and walking over, he couldn't see, he could only move over little by little.
When Mo Yuan approached the side, Yin Lingyue was afraid that he would fall if he walked further, so he stopped him in a loud voice: "Xiao Yuan, just stand there and don't move, there is no road ahead." ”
Mo Yuan obediently did not move on.
Yin Lingyue didn't have time to show off her achievements to Mo Yuan, only to hear a click, the tiny branches of the dwarf shrub cracked a big hole because of her pressure, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger, she realized that before climbing the bush, she didn't think about it, how could such a small branch carry her weight?
Yin Lingyue exclaimed, this one frightened Mo Yuan, who was waiting for her.
"Yueyue, what's going on?"
Mo Yuan's face was full of worry.
"I ...... It looks like the branch is about to break, Xiao Yuan, what can I do now? ”
Yin Lingyue didn't dare to move at all, even a slight movement would speed up the breaking of the branches, she couldn't do anything, so she had to hold on to the dwarf bushes tightly.
"Yueyue, hold on, I'll save you."
Mo Yuan leaned down and stretched out his hand towards Yin Lingyue, Yin Lingyue freed up one hand to reach his, they tried hard to stretch their hands to reach each other's hands, but the two hands that were close at hand couldn't touch anything.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, because of Yin Lingyue's slight movements, the cracks in the branches became bigger and bigger, and with a click, the shrub branch was finally overwhelmed and broke off directly.
"Ah~~~"
Yin Lingyue's exclamation echoed in the valley, and Mo Yuan's hand just grabbed a handful of air in vain.
"Yueyue...... Yueyue ......"
Mo Yuan kept calling Yin Lingyue, but there was no response.
