Chapter 12 Sightseeing

The next morning, after eating home-made thin noodles and steamed sweet potatoes that were warmly welcomed by the hosts, they set out on their way.

The road was even more rugged and difficult, Lin Yuanming's stomach was a little unbearable, Du Ruo took out a few herbs from the suitcase, let Lin Yuanming chew it, and at the same time picked up Lin Yuanming's hand and pressed it according to the acupressure method for treating motion sickness that he had seen in the medical book.

"You're doing acupressure on me, is it useful?" Lin Yuanming finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously.

"Yes, this is Neiguan acupoint, this is Hegu acupoint, both can relieve dizziness and vomiting symptoms, is the simplest and most effective way to treat motion sickness." Du Ruo replied while pressing.

"Then what kind of herb did you chew just now, and your tongue is numb?"

"It's half summer, and there's a taste of grass cardamom, which soothes your stomach discomfort."

"You know so much, and it's so much better now."

"I also read it in a book, and I pay more attention to health care, and I know a little bit about it."

"What a studious girl, by the way, how did you come up with the idea of bringing herbs here?"

"Herbal medicine is very effective, it can cure motion sickness, it can also reduce swelling and relieve pain, treat snake bites, etc., it is more effective than those pills bought in the pharmacy, besides, it is also a habit, I grew up in the medicine garden since I was a child, and I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with herbs, so I often take them with me."

Lin Yuanming's symptoms were much better, but considering that there were still two or three hours to drive ahead, Du Ruo suggested that the driver first tow the luggage to the town and wait for them at the intersection, and they walked over by themselves.

So the driver explained the key route and drove away.

After Lin Yuanming got out of the car, he immediately became energetic, led Du Ruo to run and stop all the way, climbed the mountain to pick flowers for Du Ruo for a while, and took Du Ruo to play in the water while taking Du Ruo to Qingtan for a while.

Lin Yuanming looked at the clear and bright pool water, "I don't know if this water can be drunk, it looks very clear." ”

"Do you want to try it, if you get sick, I can cure you." Du Ruo blinked and teased.

Lin Yuanming was about to drink, but Du Ruo jumped up and hurriedly stopped, "No, you really drink it?" ”

"Didn't you say that I was sick and could cure me" Lin Yuanming's eyes revealed childishness.

"I'm not a doctor, so don't drink it, the water on the side of the road is still not clean." Du Ruo was afraid that he would drink, so he hurriedly declared.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuanming immediately laughed, at first Du Ruo felt a little inexplicable, but later realized that he was ridiculing Lin Yuanming, but he was laughed at, so he chased Lin Yuanming and made trouble.

In this way, they played all the way, and when they arrived at their destination, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and they had walked for more than five hours. Fortunately, these two people usually like to exercise and have good physical fitness, otherwise they will be tired halfway through.

The driver craned his head at the intersection and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two familiar figures appear.

The two took their luggage, thanked the driver, and gave him a tip as a reward for the two days of service. The driver grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth peculiar to mountain people.

Du Ruo inquired in the town, and the two destinations of their trip, "Peach Blossom Chong" and "Qingshu Pass", were still a day's worth away, so they planned to rest in the town.

Even though it is a town, it is just a small market with a dozen shops, and there are no guest houses or anything like that.

Narrow two-storey gray old houses are lined up, the shops are next to each other, and the varieties are very single, next to the grain and oil store is the butcher shop, after the butcher shop is the vegetable shop, and next to the vegetable shop is the poultry shop, in turn the pharmacy, and then the agricultural machinery store......

Almost all of the shops have old-fashioned canvas signs hanging in front of them, trembling with the wind, like old men in the wind and candles.

When a sister-in-law heard that they had come from the provincial capital, she went to visit the poor children in "Taohuachong" and "Qingshuao", vacated the best room in the house for them to live in, and entertained them for dinner.
