Chapter 130 It’s a Trouble
“There is no rush to cure the disease. As long as it gets better day by day, there will be a cure.” Shang Wan took the bamboo tube and drank the mountain spring water in it.
The breeze blew by, ruffling the soft hair behind her and gently brushing it against Lu Chengjing's open palm.
He subconsciously held this strand of hair as if holding the passing wind.
The sun shines on the black hair, coating it with a layer of warm light.
Shang Wan leaned sideways on his shoulder and said in a lazy tone, "We have almost collected the medicines. Let's see what other medicines Brother Yuan needs."
Lu Chengjing adjusted his posture slightly so that she could lean more comfortably, unfolded the paper, and read the name of the herb in a warm voice.
The first ones are nothing, only the medicine is special.
"Cliff ginger?" Shang Wan guessed based on the name of the herb, "Doesn't this thing grow on a cliff?"
Lu Chengjing nodded, "Yajiang, also known as Drynariae, grows on cliffs. It is very effective in treating bruises and rheumatic bone pain."
Yuan Musheng also knew that this medicine was difficult to pick, so he specifically noted on the paper that safety was the top priority. Pick it if you can. If the location is too tricky to pick, don't force it.
Flying over eaves and walls is nothing to Shang Wan, but the problem is that she doesn't know what this cliff ginger looks like.
You can't take Lu Chengjing to fly over the walls together, right?
Just... it's not impossible.
"The leaves of cliff ginger are feather-shaped." Lu Chengjing held the branch in his left hand and drew it on the ground for Shang Wan to see. "The rhizome is very similar to ginger."
Shang Wan took note of it carefully and pulled Lu Chengjing straight to the nearest cliff.
There is a patch of small white flowers blooming on the cliff, swaying in the breeze. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you can see a thin layer of clouds and mist, and you can vaguely see the dense vegetation and the clear water pool in the valley below.
Of course, ordinary people can't see this far, and they can't bear Shang Wan's abnormal eyesight.
Seeing Shang Wan about to jump off the cliff with a bamboo basket on his arm, Lu Chengjing's eyelids trembled and he quickly warned: "Be careful, there are many poisonous snakes, insects and ants on the cliff."
Shang Wan made a reassuring gesture with his backhand, tapped his toes, and jumped down.
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to Shang Wan, Lu Chengjing's heart still skipped a beat and he hurriedly leaned out to look down the cliff.
Shang Wan wore a smoky-red dress today, which was quite easy to find in the greenery.
From Lu Chengjing's perspective, the person below looked like a strange flower blooming on the green vines, jumping with lightness and dexterity, like a mountain elf.
His heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and Lu Chengjing simply sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs hanging naturally, and quietly watching Shang Wan's every move.
"Look at this." Shang Wan stepped on the thick vines and threw a muddy plant upwards without raising his head, and it happened to land next to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing picked it up and took a closer look. The leaves were like feathers and the rhizome was like ginger. It smelled slightly bitter, so it was definitely Yajiang.
He replied: "It's Yajiang."
"It's such a big place here." Shang Wan glanced at the cliff in front of him and asked, "Does the drug store accept this thing?"
If she did, she would pick more.
Lu Chengjing said: "To harvest, you must dig out the roots completely."
"Okay." Shang Wan agreed and started harvesting.
Wherever the palm passed, white light flashed, and all the leaves and roots were collected into the space without even using a hoe.
Of course, she also understands the principle of sustainable picking. She only picks those gingers that look old and keeps the small seedlings to continue to grow.
She also poured a few drops of spiritual spring water into this area to accelerate their growth.
I felt almost done and was about to go back when I suddenly heard a faint sound in my ears.
It seemed like a human voice.
There was only one sound, mixed in with the sound of the wind, making it difficult to determine the direction.
She turned her head and looked around, and another faint moan of pain reached her ears. Shang Wan immediately determined the location of the sound. On the tree jutting out diagonally below.
She grabbed the vine and jumped up, her figure falling rapidly, her smoky-red skirt flying like clouds. It was really beautiful, but it scared Lu Chengjing above her that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Lady!"
"It's okay." Shang Wan landed on the tree trunk accurately and waved his hand upward, indicating not to worry.
A faint moan of pain came out from the dense canopy again, and Shang Wan was sure that there was a person inside.
The smell of living creatures attracted not only Shang Wan, but also poisonous snakes.
The venomous snake was disturbed in the hunt, hissed out the snake message, and raised its triangular snake head to demonstrate towards Shang Wan.
You can't eat venomous snakes. It's a pity for such a big one.
Shang Wan flicked a stone and knocked away the poisonous snake.
The long tattooed body fell uncontrollably into the valley below.
Only then did Shang Wan crawl into the tree crown. After seeing the injured person clearly, he raised his brows in surprise.
Why is there a child here?
The child was about five or six years old. He was hanging on the swaying branch with his eyes closed. His little face was so dirty that he could not see clearly.
The painful moans that Shang Wan heard were actually the gibbering of children.
Secretly sighing that the child was lucky, she stepped on the branches and picked him up.
The child's clothes were torn, his body was as hot as coals, and he was suffering from high fever.
Shang Wan fed him two drops of spiritual spring water and was about to carry him up when he suddenly noticed a light cyan blood-stained purse hanging on a small branch nearby.
Probably a child's thing.
She picked it up casually, held the child in her arms, tapped her toes on the cliff, jumped up, and landed next to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing asked in surprise: "Who is this child?"
"I don't know." Shang Wan shrugged, "Maybe it got lost somewhere. Let's take it back first."
Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and looked at the child in Shang Wan's arms.
The child was dirty, with flesh on his face and arms. The original color of the clothes could not be seen, and they were damaged in many places, but the material was very good, and it looked like they were not something that farmers could afford.
This child is definitely not from the village.
He looked at Shang Wan and said bluntly: "This child may be trouble."
Children from wealthy families are always accompanied by servants when they go out. If a child has no one to look after him, it is likely that he has encountered a major accident.
Shang Wan understood what Lu Chengjing was worried about, but that's fine if he didn't meet him. If he did, he couldn't leave the child alone. After all, his life was at stake.
She said: "If it's not troublesome, we'll talk about it later."
If there is really a big trouble, Shang Wan can be saved or killed. Shang Wan is very open-minded.
Lu Chengjing knew that his wife was a soft-hearted person. He had already reminded Shang Wan that she was still determined to save her, so he stopped trying to persuade her and reached out to pick up the bamboo basket Shang Wan was carrying on his shoulder.
There were two fat hares in the bamboo basket. The herbs were all in Shang Wan's space and they were not heavy.
If Lu Chengjing wanted to carry Shang Wan, it would be up to him. At worst, she would take over when Lu Chengjing couldn't carry it anymore.
Holding a child in his arms does not affect Shang Wan's walking speed. Besides, going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain.
Shang Wan almost ran into a villager on the way, so Shang Wan took Lu Chengjing away in advance to avoid having to explain how Lu Chengjing, a wheelchair user, came into the mountains.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, there was no one around. Shang Wan took out the wheelchair from the space, and Lu Chengjing sat on it consciously while holding the bamboo basket.
