Chapter 87 – Giving Xie Ying a formula

This time the cave was very spacious from the entrance, and several people were able to straighten their backs and stride inside, even the tallest Xie Jue didn’t need to stoop low.

After seven or eight steps there was more room inside.

Inside was a complete huge irregular space, with no branches or forks, and one glance could take in the cavern.

The cave wasn’t deep, and the entrance was wide and high, so the light from outside still shone inside the cave, allowing those who entered to see the full extent of the cave.

The cave was surrounded by mostly stone walls, with occasional places where there were dirt walls with vines growing on them, which showed that the cave was very solid and normally wouldn’t have a problem with collapsing.

Wei Ruo could also see running water on the stone wall on the right side, thus showing that the humidity inside this cave would not be low.

Temperature wise, the inside of the cave is a comfortable temperature for this time of year.

Wei Ruo walked along the stone wall and examined the entire cave.

She found some wild mushrooms in some corners, grayish-white and elongated, of the unusable variety.

But this is also a side effect of the fact that the environment of this cave is suitable for the growth of mushrooms.

“What does Wei’s sister think, does it match what you have in mind?” Jue Xie inquired after Wei Ruo walked around.

Wei Ruo nodded, “Well, this place fits the cave I was looking for perfectly.”

Jue Xie couldn’t help but smile, “That’s good.”

He thoughtfully didn’t press Wei Ruo on why he wanted to find such a cave.

At the beginning of today, Wei Ruo did not say, that is not convenient to disclose, so then he still do not pursue too much good, Wei family sister if she wants to say words will naturally say.

When the cave was almost finished looking at it, Wei Ruo said to the Xie family siblings, “Alright, I’m done looking at it, this cave is quite good, but we’ll talk about what exactly we’ll do next time, for now let’s go out.”

“Then shall we continue picking herbs?” Xie Ying asked.

“If you’re willing, we’ll continue walking up the mountain and pick more herbs.” Wei Ruo said.

“Go, I’m going to personally pick some useful herbs and then go back to replenish my mother’s body.” Xie Ying said.

She had money, but that money had been given to her by her mother, and buying her mother herbs with the money she had given her wasn’t considered her skill, it would have meant something different if she had picked them herself.

Jue Xie looked at his excited sister and helplessly said to Wei Ruo, “My sister hasn’t gotten over it yet, so let’s trouble Wei’s sister to continue to take us to look for herbs.”

“Okay.” Wei Ruo agreed.

After exiting the cave, the group went a bit deeper inside the forest.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the higher the probability of finding precious herbs.

It ended up being dusk before the four came down from the mountain.

When they came down, Xiu Mei and Xie Jue each carried a bamboo basket, and the basket was filled to the brim.

Wei Ruo used a cloth bag to pack a bag, Xie Ying did not have a cloth bag, her brother’s robe stripped used as a bag to contain the rest of the herbs.

Most of these herbs weren’t very valuable, and together they probably weren’t worth as much as Xie Jue’s cloud brocade outer robe.

But what could be done? If his sister wanted to use it, how could Jue Xie dare to disobey?

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Xie Ying wanted to give most of the herbs to Wei Ruo, leaving only a few for herself that she wanted to take back to her mother to make herbal tea.

Wei Ruo refused, “You picked it yourselves, so naturally it belongs to you.”

Xie Ying: “No, I just need some of this Xia Gu Cao to go back and make an herbal tea for my mother.”

Wei Ruo: “If you pick it yourself, it’s yours.”

Xie Ying: “But without you telling me and teaching me, I wouldn’t have recognized them at all, much less picked them back.”

Wei Ruo: “Teaching is teaching, picking is picking, the knowledge you have learned is your own, and the fruits of your own labor are your own.”

Xie Ying thought about it, “That’s fine.”

Xie Ying turned back to Xie Jue and said, “Brother, you have to keep an eye on these herbs, don’t lose them, not even one less!”

Jue Xie laughed and agreed repeatedly, “Okay, okay, got it, I’ll make sure to look good.”

Wei Ruo laughed a little, then asked, “Is there a pen and paper?”

“What do you need a pen and paper for?” Jue Xie asked.

“The herbs we picked today are just enough to make a nourishing medicinal soup, the medicinal properties are gentle and very suitable for women to take, I’ll write it down, go back and you guys deal with the herbs according to the method I wrote, and then just proportion and simmer them.” Wei Ruo said.

Xie Ying said she wanted to pick herbs for her mother to make up for her body, and now that the herbs have been picked, Wei Ruo is going to be a good person in the end, and will be given the formula, so that Xie Ying can reach her wish.

“Ruo Ruo you still want to give me the formula?” Xie Ying asked.

“Well, although the herbal tea is simple, it has no nourishing properties, and now that the weather has also turned cooler, the herbal tea should not be drunk more often.” Wei Ruo said.

Xie Ying was very joyful and came forward to hug Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, you’re so nice!”

Jue Xie didn’t have a pen and paper on him, so he busied himself by asking his subordinate, who was following far behind, to go back to the other courtyard to fetch it.

When he and his sister went out the subordinates were definitely to follow, and when they were on the mountain just now, these subordinates were always there as well, just some distance away so that they could play with Wei Ruo in a more comfortable manner.

When Xie’s subordinate fetched back a pen and paper, Wei Ruo found a relatively flat rock and wrote down the prescription.

Jue Xie, who was watching from the side, looked at Wei Ruo’s crooked characters and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Xie Jue wasn’t scoffing either, but found it a bit cute.

It seems that Wei’s sister isn’t good at everything.

And then a merciless pinch on the arm from her sister.

Xie Ying gave Xie Jue a blank look, warning him with her eyes that he wasn’t allowed to make fun of her best sister’s handwriting, ugly though it was indeed.

Only then did Jue Xie withdraw his smile.

Wei Ruo wrote very carefully, incidentally writing clearly the treatment of the herbs picked today.

After writing it, he handed the formula to Xie Ying, and then he bid farewell to the two.

After separating from the Xie family siblings, Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei returned to the carriage parked by the side of the road along the way they came.

Sister Zhang looked at Wei Ruo who came back so late, and said somewhat helplessly, “Missy, you’re going to kill me, if you don’t come back, I’m going to go back to get help! It’s fine for me to hide it for you, but don’t let anything happen to you, then I’ll be in deep shit!”

“Got it, I’ll try to be early next time.” Wei Ruo said.

She also knew that she was a bit late today. It couldn’t be helped, in that situation on the mountain just now, Xie Ying refused to go, and there was no way she could drag Xie Ying.

Sister Zhang sighed, “Forget it, it’s good that you’re fine.”

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei got on the carriage, and on the way back, Wei Ruo began to think about the next arrangement.

Suitable caves were found, this one is enough for now, when the experiment is successful later, Wei Ruo will go back to consider expanding the scale.
