Chapter 2 Finding Medicine to Save My Brother

The Ye family, a big family at the foot of Lingtai Mountain, has been in business for generations, and the operation of dozens of generations has made the Ye family rich.

Ye Feng, the head of the Ye family, is shrewd and capable, and has accumulated nearly twice the wealth of the Ye family after decades of galloping in the shopping mall. Ye Feng is also a character in the local area, his biggest regret in this life is that he has no son, his wife Fang Shi who is marrying in the media gave birth to five daughters to him, Fang Shi felt guilty, and wanted to give her husband a concubine, in order to give birth to a son to inherit the family business, but he didn't think that Ye Feng was an infatuated species, unwilling to take another concubine, accompanied his wife to visit famous doctors all over the world, and ate all the folk home remedies, but failed to add a son to continue the incense.

After a long time, Ye Feng and his wife gave up this idea, and planned to let one of their daughters recruit a son-in-law and have another grandson, which can be regarded as a queen for the Ye family.

As the days passed, Fang's became pregnant again, Ye Feng watched his wife's belly gradually get bigger, his mood gradually became nervous, his wife's belly was a few points bigger than ordinary people, he called the best local Lang Zhong and said that it might be twins, Ye Feng was very happy after hearing it, and took care of his wife meticulously.

Finally, on the day of delivery, I saw a large dark cloud rolling up in the sky, a strong wind bursting, mixed with thunder and lightning, the whole sky was dark and cloudy like the end of the world, the torrential rain poured down, and the family closed its doors, lest this strange celestial phenomenon would bring disaster to itself.

Suddenly, a crack was torn out of the dark sky, a beam of golden light shot out of the clouds, and a fiery red phoenix flew quickly towards the Ye family's mansion, the outside of Fang's delivery room was full of light, and the golden light flickered, and the Ye family was stunned by this strange phenomenon, and all the visions disappeared suddenly after the two baby cries.

One day fifteen years later, a girl wearing a light cyan silk spinning skirt, 3,000 green silk tied up with a hairband, a jasper hairpin obliquely inserted in her hair, her skin was better than snow, and her appearance was clear, and she walked on the mountain road of Lingtai Mountain with a bamboo basket.

Ye Qingqiao, the seventh lady of the Ye family, has five older sisters and a twin brother who was born half an hour earlier than her. It has been fifteen years since Ye Qingqiao crossed over, and she gradually forgot her past life and slowly integrated into the identity of the seventh lady of the Ye family. She and Ye Qingfeng are twin brothers and sisters, it is said that when they were born, Fengxiang descended from the sky, which was auspicious, but I didn't expect Ye Qingfeng to be weak and sick since he was a child, and he used all kinds of rare herbs to hang his life all day long and couldn't understand.

When they were twelve years old, the Ye family came to an old Taoist with fairy wind and bones, and calculated a hexagram for Ye Qingfeng, saying that Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingqiao were in conflict with each other, and Ye Qingqiao must enter Lingtai Mountain late at night on July 17 every year to find fourteen chrysanthemums for Ye Qingfeng, and then expose them to the scorching sun for 7749 days, and then they must be stored in a cold place without wind, yang, dust, and water for three days before they can be used for medicine, and they can be taken for three consecutive years to get rid of the disease. This year is the last year, and if there is no accident, Ye Qingfeng will be able to live like a normal person. The hopes of the whole family are pinned on the only boy of the Ye family, and Ye Qingqiao has undoubtedly become the key person to achieve this hope.

Ye Qingqiao looked at the few chrysanthemums in the bamboo basket, sighed softly, and continued to walk into the mountains. The grass is rare because it only grows on the edge of cliffs, and during the day it shrinks into the dirt and only sticks out of the ground at night. She had only found seven, and there were still seven left, so she had to go deep into the mountains.

Lingtai Mountain is high into the sky, the cliffs are everywhere, the clouds and mist are shrouded all day long, the ground is unusually slippery because there is no sunlight all year round, and you will fall into the abyss next to you if you are not careful. There are all kinds of birds and beasts living in the deep mountains, even the most courageous hunters will not go deep into Lingtai Mountain, there have been hunters who have gone deep into Lingtai Mountain to hunt and never come out, so the depths of Lingtai Mountain have become a forbidden place in everyone's hearts.

Ye Qingqiao walked cautiously in the dense forest, constantly using a stick to sweep away the weeds in front of her, she had to go to the cliff in the north of Lingtai Mountain to look for chrysanthemum grass, the dew in the mountain wet the cloth shoes, and the skirt was also scraped out a few cuts by the spikes of some plants. But none of this affected Ye Qingqiao's footsteps. Ye Qingqiao wiped the sweat on her face, sat under a tree to rest, she raised her head and looked around, the towering ancient trees covered the sky tightly, only a little moonlight was exposed, and occasionally a few beasts could be heard.

Ye Qingqiao rested for a while and then supported himself and continued to walk forward, when suddenly there was a sound of "sizzle-sizzle-" in front of him, Ye Qingqiao was startled, hurriedly stopped, and looked ahead with wide eyes. The sound of "sizzle-sizzle-" got closer and closer, and suddenly a spotted snake with a thick arm jumped out of the grass and pounced on Ye Qingqiao's face.

Ye Qingqiao's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and swept it in front of the door, the snake was cut by the dagger, and the snake blood splashed on her face, and a fishy smell made Ye Qingqiao want to vomit, but before he came back to his senses, the snake was aroused by the severe pain, and pounced sharply at Ye Qingqiao, the snake's tail beat the surrounding grass to the ground, Ye Qingqiao dodged left and right, and kept stabbing the snake with the dagger, but the big snake was very dexterous, except for the knife at the beginning, Ye Qingqiao was stunned that he didn't hit it with a knife.

Suddenly, the spotted snake pounced on Ye Qingqiao's body, the snake body tightly wrapped around Ye Qingqiao's body, and the snake head was about to bite Ye Qingqiao's head, Ye Qingqiao's eyes widened and looked at the bloody mouth, spewing a fishy breath closer and closer to her, and the snake's eyes revealed a cold light.

In a few breaths, Ye Qingqiao's mind turned sharply, she clenched the dagger and quickly met the snake's mouth, the big snake's mouth bit hard, and the dagger pierced out of the snake's upper jaw in an instant, the spotted snake rolled on the ground in pain, Ye Qingqiao fell to the ground, panting heavily, his face and body were full of snake blood, sweat, and the dirt and grass clippings that rolled on the ground, where was the original beautiful appearance.

After about a quarter of an hour, the snake finally stopped moving, Ye Qingqiao pulled the dagger out of the snake's mouth, pulled the leaf on the side and wiped it casually, and inserted it into his waist. Ye Qingqiao walked around the snake corpse and was about to walk forward, when she suddenly paused, because she found that the snake's stomach was faintly revealing a red light, and the light was faintly visible, if she didn't look carefully, she really couldn't see it.

Ye Qingqiao squatted down and picked up the snake body to look at it carefully, she took out the dagger again and cut the snake body, held back the vomiting sensation in her throat, pulled it in with her hand, and took out half a dead mouse, and there were sticky digestive juices dripping on her body, "vomit", Ye Qingqiao couldn't help but vomit, and when he couldn't spit out anything anymore, Ye Qingqiao continued to reach out and dig out, and finally found a red bead, which was shining with a charming red light.

Ye Qingqiao washed the beads with clean water and put them in the palm of his hand to look at them carefully, and the beads could no longer see anything special except for the red light. Ye Qingqiao wrapped the beads in a thick black cloth bag and put them in his pocket. After doing all this, she continued to walk towards the north of Lingtai Mountain, and she continued to look for the grass.

Ye Qingqiao finally found fourteen chrysanthemum grass on the third night of entering Lingtai Mountain, she held the sandalwood bead pendant between her necks and sighed, three years ago, the old Taoist gave her this string of evil beads, as long as she brought the evil beads into Lingtai Mountain, she could resist some evil things, and ordinary birds and beasts would avoid her, so she could safely enter and exit Lingtai Mountain in the past three years. But today's spotted snake was an exception, it was so ferocious that it took the initiative to attack Ye Qingqiao.
