Ji Lingxue curled her lips, rubbed her sore arm and said, "It's better to destroy such harmful things as soon as possible to avoid harming others."
Bai Mo sighed. He was a medical geek who liked to study poisonous flowers and plants he had never seen before. Others avoided them as much as possible, but he regarded them as treasures.
Without bringing his medicine box, Bai Mo simply treated the wound on Xiao Yichen's forehead and turned to treat Lian Xin. Lian Xin suffered internal injuries, so Bai Mo directly fed her a pill.
The wolf corpse was thrown at the entrance of the cave by Bai Mo. Ji Lingxue walked over, pulled out the knife from the wolf corpse, began to peel the wolf skin and take the meat, then made a fire and roasted the meat.
Bai Mo sat happily aside, adding firewood to the fire with a branch, waiting for the meat to be cooked. He had heard that Ji Lingxue was a good cook, but unfortunately due to Ji Lingxue's status, he could not taste her cooking. Today this was an extra benefit.
Ji Lingxue handed Bai Mo a skewer of wolf meat and said, "Don't just watch. Grill it yourself."
Bai Mo took it and roasted it on the fire just like Ji Lingxue did. From time to time he turned his head to look at Xiao Yichen who was still sleeping on the ground behind him, with a gloating smile on his face. Xiao Yichen probably never dreamed that one day he would be beaten up by his own princess, right
Seeing Bai Mo's thoughts, Ji Lingxue said, "If you don't keep your mouth shut and say things you shouldn't..." Then she clenched her fists and glared at Bai Mo, her eyes seemed to say: I don't mind beating you up in the same way. You are a miracle doctor, this little injury is nothing to you, right
Bai Mo twitched his lips. It was true that he was known as a miracle doctor, but a doctor should not treat himself. Moreover, he had witnessed it with his own eyes, so he would not dare to offend Ji Lingxue.
Bai Mo raised his hands in surrender and said, "Princess, don't worry. I just went down the mountain to pick up wolf corpses. I don't know what happened here."
Ji Lingxue nodded. At this time, Lian Xin woke up, groaned in pain, and slowly sat up, "Xue...Princess, are you okay?"
Ji Lingxue patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." Then he stuck the prepared wolf meat into the soil, ran over to help Lian Xin up, and considerately asked her if she was feeling unwell anywhere.
Lian Xin shook her head. Although her chest hurt a little, she looked to the other side nervously when she thought of what happened before. She saw Xiao Yichen lying motionless on the ground with a white cloth tied around his head. "Prince... Is he okay?"
Ji Lingxue said: "It's okay, he won't die, he will probably be unconscious for a while, let's eat some wolf meat to fill our stomachs first, and then let Bai Mo carry him down the mountain."
Lian Xin looked at Xiao Yichen's pale face, then turned to look at Ji Lingxue, "Is the prince really okay?" She saw with her own eyes that Ji Lingxue had knocked a hole in his head, and a lot of blood was flowing out. He didn't look like he was okay at all.
Ji Lingxue waved her hands, "He is a martial artist and his body is naturally strong. The crazy look he showed just now was related to the transparent flower that we destroyed."
Lian Xin nodded, her nervousness subsided a little, her stomach rumbled, and she smelled the aroma of barbecue. After eating leftovers and stale rice for nearly ten days, today she could finally smell the aroma of meat that she had missed for a long time, and her eyes became moist.
Ji Lingxue pulled Lian Xin to sit opposite Bai Mo, and the three of them ate meat and chatted about family matters. Lian Xin went up the mountain to collect herbs for a living, and she and Bai Mo had something to talk about, so the two of them told stories about Chinese herbs.
Bai Mo said: "Once I climbed over a mountain and came to a village to collect herbs. This village is rich in Eucommia ulmoides. The name of the herb Eucommia ulmoides sounds like a person's name. In fact, it is really a person. The Eucommia ulmoides in the story is a boatman who lives by the river. Like other boatmen, he suffered from waist and knee pain due to bending over and pulling the boat every day. So he decided to go up the mountain to collect herbs to treat his and his companions' diseases.
On the way, he met an old man and asked him for advice. The old man was moved by his kindness and gave him a piece of tree bark, telling him that the bark could cure the pain in his waist and knees.
Eucommia ulmoides was overjoyed and said goodbye to the old man. He took the bark and continued to go up the mountain to look for more of the same bark. When he found this kind of bark, he tried his best to pick it, but because he was exhausted, he fell into the lake.
Later, people found his body in the lake, holding the bark he had picked tightly in his arms. After the trackers ate the bark, their body pains were healed. In order to commemorate Eucommia's heroic deeds, people named this bark "Eucommia".
Lian Xin said: "Among the medicinal herbs, there is an interesting legend about the origin of the name of Impatiens balsamina.
It is said that a long time ago, there was a girl named Fengxian in Longxi, Fujian. She was graceful, gentle and kind, and fell in love with a boy named Jintong. One day, the county magistrate's son passed by and saw Fengxian was so beautiful and lovely that he suddenly had evil intentions and came to tease her. Fengxian scolded him and he left in disgrace.
Fengxian knew that she had gotten into big trouble and the county magistrate's son would definitely cause trouble for her, so she decided to flee to another place with Jintong.
Fengxian only has her father, and Jintong only has her mother. The two old and two young set out to escape from their homeland overnight. On the way, Jintong's mother fell ill, suffering from amenorrhea and abdominal pain, and there was no place to seek medical treatment or medicine in the wild mountains, so the four of them had to stop and rest.
When the county magistrate heard that his son was scolded by the village girl, he ordered his men to capture Fengxian. When they were about to catch up, Fengxian and Jintong bid farewell to their parents and jumped into the abyss to show their purity. The two old men suppressed their grief and buried Fengxian and Jintong together.
At night, the two old men lay down by the grave. Fengxian and Jintong appeared in their dreams to their parents, telling them that the flowers blooming in the mountain stream could cure their mother's illness. When they woke up the next day, they saw the mountain stream was full of red and white flowers, the red ones looked like morning glow, and the white ones looked like pure silver. The old man picked the flowers and boiled them into a decoction, and after drinking it, the medicine really cured his illness. Later, people named this flower Impatiens in memory of him.
Ji Lingxue touched her belly which had grown fatter and burped in satisfaction. Seeing that Bai Mo and Lian Xin had finished their story and started discussing the newly picked herbs, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yichen who was lying on the ground not far away with a cloth tied on his head. She sighed, turned around and walked out of the cave, looking at the dark sky. It seemed that she would have to spend the night in the mountains.
Lian Xin borrowed needle and thread from Bai Mo and began to sew the newly laid out wolfskin. Her hands were very deft, and in just a quarter of an hour, she had finished sewing a wolfskin blanket. She carefully covered Xiao Yichen with the blanket, and then began to sew the next blanket with the burning firewood.
Perhaps it was because she was finally free and no longer had to practice Tai Chi in front of the perverted Yuchi Gongru every day. Ji Lingxue yawned, found a place to close her eyes and take a nap.
It was warm in the cave, and she could occasionally hear the crackling of burning firewood, but she didn't dare to rush out, in case Xiao Yichen woke up and went mad and wanted to throw herself to death, which would give her time to escape.
Time passed little by little, and the imagined scene did not happen. Ji Lingxue had a good dream all night, and when she woke up the next day, she found herself sleeping on Xiao Yichen's lap, with her hand still holding his arm.
Ji Lingxue woke up in shock, jumped up, and looked at Xiao Yichen warily.
Holding the strip of cloth, Xiao Yichen looked dazed and stupid. His eyes had regained their lively look and he was looking at Ji Lingxue curiously, "Why are you reacting like that?" Was he poisoned? Why did she react so strongly? He didn't even bother to complain to her that his legs were numb from sleeping.
Ji Lingxue smiled awkwardly, and when she turned around, she found that Bai Mo and Lian Xin were not in the cave. These two people were really shameless. They actually left her alone to face Xiao Yichen's anger.
She looked at Xiao Yichen awkwardly, "Prince..."
"Hmm..." Xiao Yichen uttered a lazy "hmm" through his nose and pointed at his head, "Xue'er, what's wrong with my head?"
Ji Lingxue turned around and said with a smile: "Yesterday, after helping Bai Mo to expel the poison, the prince fell asleep. In the middle of the night, the prince suddenly hit himself on the head with a stone. Bai Mo and I were both scared, but we couldn't stop you from abusing yourself..."
Xiao Yichen repeated: "Did I hit my head myself?"
Ji Lingxue nodded vigorously and said, "Look at my sincere eyes, I really didn't lie."
Xiao Yichen looked at his hand and asked, "Which hand did I use to hit myself?"
Ji Lingxue opened her mouth, uh... Xiao Yichen, what kind of thinking is this
Ji Lingxue put her chin down and pointed at Xiao Yichen's right hand. Xiao Yichen suddenly pulled Ji Lingxue over, hugged her neck and kissed her red lips...
Ji Lingxue looked at Xiao Yichen with wide eyes speechlessly.
Xiao Yichen let go of Ji Lingxue, pinched her cheek and said, "I couldn't kiss the princess in my dream last night, so I threw a stone at myself. Now that I have kissed her, I believe I won't torture myself anymore in the future."
Ji Lingxue: “…” Xiao Yichen believed my nonsense so quickly
At the entrance of the cave, Bai Mo put his ear against the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation inside. He covered his mouth and dared not laugh out loud, for fear of being discovered by the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Xiao Yichen.
Lian Xin walked to Bai Mo with some wild fruits in her arms, saw him covering his mouth with his hands and laughing a little convulsively, and raised her hand to pat his shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Bai Mo was frightened. He turned to Lian Xin with his body stiff and glared at her, "What are you doing?" He was almost scared to death, but fortunately he had a strong heart.
Lian Xin shrugged innocently, took out a white apple and handed it to Bai Mo, "I just picked it. I took a bite and it's quite fragrant."
Bai Mo: “…”
Xiao Yichen pulled Ji Lingxue out of the cave and happened to see the friendly scene of Lian Xin handing fruit to Bai Mo.
Ji Lingxue let go of Xiao Yichen's hand and ran to Lian Xin, "Whatever fruit you picked, I want one too." As she said that, she snatched the white apple that was handed to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo glanced at Ji Lingxue and said, "That's my fruit."
Ji Lingxue stuck out her tongue and said, "I got it first." Then she bit into it. Bai Mo's face darkened and he turned to complain to Xiao Yichen, "My Lord, you have to take care of this. Your princess stole my apple."
Xiao Yichen glanced at Bai Mo's aggrieved face, pointed to his head and said, "Don't just think about eating until the wound on my head is healed."
Xiao Yichen: Don’t think that I don’t know the reason for my injury.
Bai Mo smiled flatteringly, "Your Highness, this is just a superficial wound, it will heal soon." He handed over a black pill, "This pill is most suitable for you to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
