Chapter Eighty-Six: Exploring the Cave

"This is called Prunella vulgaris, and it's just right to pick this season." Wei Ruo explained.

"Prunella? What is it used for? ”

"Prunella vulgaris has a miraculous effect on the treatment of scrofula, and because the mortality rate of scrofula is very high, prunella is very precious and valuable, but prunella grass grows very ordinary, what is the difference between prunella and wild grass, it is like a dead grass in summer, so it is named, and therefore ignored." Wei Ruo explained.

"I didn't expect it to look so ordinary, but it's quite useful." Xie Ying squatted down to help Wei Ruo pick.

"In addition, Prunella vulgaris can also be used to make herbal tea, and you can get a very delicious herbal tea by boiling it with lotus leaves and light bamboo leaves." Wei Ruo added.

"If you still make herbal tea?" Xie Ying asked.

"It's very simple to make herbal tea, just put the ingredients in water and boil them together, there is no skill, I will also make roasted fairy grass and turtle jelly, which is a little more complicated, but they are all good things to cool off the heat in summer." Wei Ruodao.

"Ruoruo, what a treasure you are! I want to take you home and hide you! ”

Xiumei on the side couldn't help but say: "Miss Xie, it is illegal to kidnap people, if you want to arrest my young lady, I will go to report to the official!" ”

Xie Ying flattened her mouth: "With you here, can I tie up your young lady?" Or I'll give you the money, and you can help me tie up your young lady." ”

Xiumei immediately asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, Miss Xie said that she would give me silver, if you give more, can I consider it?" ”

Wei Ruo nodded: "You can consider it, if you give enough, I can consider taking the initiative to cooperate with you to kidnap me, and then divide half of your stolen money." ”

Xiumei agreed: "Mmmm, yes, after we get the silver, I'll go to Xie Mansion to rescue Miss back!" ”

Xie Ying was stunned when she heard this: "Okay, you two, in front of me, you will work together to calculate my money!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture to throw the freshly picked prunella grass in his hand on Wei Ruo's body, but after looking at it twice, he was reluctant to throw it, changed directions, and threw it heavily into Wei Ruo's medicine basket.

Xie Jue stood five steps away, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he watched the three little girls playing around.

This Miss Wei is really an eccentric, no wonder she can stop him, a sister who does her own thing.

After walking a little further, Wei Ruo saw a cave.

Wei Ruo walked curiously in the direction of the cave, but Xie Jue hurriedly stopped: "Sister Wei, don't go over, this cave is dangerous." ”

"Dangerous?" Wei Ruo turned his head and looked at Xie Jue with a puzzled look.

"The caves in Xingshan County are larger and deeper, and some of the caves have complex internal structures, so I'm worried that there are some beasts or snakes, rats, insects and ants in them." Xie Jue explained.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, but I still want to go in and have a look, don't worry, I'm a good girl, and we also have experience in dealing with snakes, rats, insects and ants, and we can deal with any problems we encounter."

Xie Jue believed this, but for the sake of safety, he still decided to go in with him.

"I'm following you, and if there's any danger, I'll be able to help in time." Xie Jue said.

"Then I'm going too." Xie Ying strode forward.

Xie Jue hurriedly grabbed her: "Yingying, what are you going to do?" ”

"Why can't I go, if you all go? I'm pretty good too. "Although Xie Ying has never practiced martial arts, she is very good at horseback riding and archery, and she is much more capable than ordinary young ladies.

"But there may be snakes, rats, insects and ants in this cave, aren't you afraid?" Xie Jue asked.

"If not, why should I?" Xie Ying was not timid at all.

"If Yingying wants to go, I have an ointment to repel insects and ants here." Wei Ruo immediately took out a porcelain box from the backpack he brought.

When the box is unscrewed, there is a yellowish waxy paste inside.

Wei Ruo's index finger was placed on the paste and rubbed it carefully, and then applied it to Xie Ying's wrist and the root of his ear.

Xie Ying put her wrist in front of her nose and sniffed it, "It's so fragrant, there is a faint fruity fragrance, sweet, very good." ”

"Well, I specially blended the fragrance, didn't I learn perfume from my husband recently? I used this ointment by the way, and the original smell of this ointment was still obvious, and it would smell bad. Wei Ruo explained.

"Apply what you have learned, if you are really good!" Xie Ying couldn't help but praise Wei Ruo again.

Xie Jue behind Xie Ying was also amazed by this, this Miss Wei family is really interesting, the treasures on her body are as if they can't be dug up, and they can continue to surprise people.

Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo, his eyes appreciative and approving, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "If you want to use this ointment for my brother too?" I'm also afraid that he will be bitten by insects and ants. ”

Wei Ruo simply stuffed the whole box of ointment into Xie Ying's hand: "This one will be given to you." ”

"What about yourself?" Xie Ying asked.

"I still have, I made several boxes at once." Wei Ruo replied.

"That's good!" Xie Ying was no longer polite to Wei Ruo, and after accepting Wei Ruo's ointment, she turned around and handed it to Xie Jue.

"I'll just paint a little for you, you save some use, and you'll return it to me after painting."

"Got it, got it." Xie Jue replied with a smile.

After all four of them had applied the insect repellent ointment, they entered the cave together.

Xie Jue walked in the front, protecting the three girls' families behind him.

This cave is a little narrow inside, the road is complicated, and after walking for a while, Wei Ruo said: "Let's go out, this cave is not what I want to find, and the road here is narrow and forky, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to continue to move forward." ”

Although Xie Jue and Xie Ying didn't know the reason, but Wei Ruo said so, they didn't stay, turned around, and retreated from the cave.

After exiting, Xie Jue asked Wei Ruo: "What kind of cave does Sister Wei plan to find, I often came here to play when I was a child, and I know a little about the neighborhood, maybe I can help you." ”

Looking at Xie Jue's serious face, Wei Ruo thought for a while, and then said his thoughts: "I want to find a cave with a large space, and the temperature inside, warm in winter and cool in summer. ”

"The space is large, warm in winter and ......cool in summer," Xie Jue thought about it seriously, "Along this trail and then up to the halfway up the mountainside, there seems to be such a cave that meets your requirements." ”

"Does Gongzi Xie remember how to go?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

"Well, remember, I'll show you the way." Xie Jue said.

"Thank you so much, Childe!" Wei Ruo said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite to me." Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with a gentle smile.

After the politeness, Xie Jue walked to the front and took Wei Ruo, Xiumei and his sister halfway up the mountain.

After rounding several large rocks, a wide cave entrance appeared in front of me.

It was still Xie Jue who walked in front, and the three girls followed......
