Although she didn’t manage to obtain the intoxicated heart flower at this ti, just knowing that such a thing exists made Yang Chuxia very happy. As for whether she could find it, that would depend on the ti after the New Year.
They got the news about the intoxicated heart flower at Mu’s Clinic, but not about the other two herbs. So, the three of them headed for other drugstores. After almost searching the whole city’s large and small drug stores, they still ca back empty-handed. So small drugstores didn’t even knew about Chinese aconite, let alone ever seen it.
Eventually, they could only return in disappointnt. Yang Chuxia decided to go to the prefecture city after the New Year to take a look.
"Xiaxia, if we can’t find the herbs, we’ll quit searching. Don’t worry, I can hold on. I’m not ready to die yet." When they returned to the inn, Ye Zi’an saw that Yang Chuxia was very disappointed, so he said this to her.
Everything Xiaxia did for him, he appreciated. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel touched, or that he didn’t want to find the dicinal herbs. However, after visiting so many drugstores, he knew how rare these herbs are. Let’s not even talk about whether they could find them. Even if they did, the price would probably be prohibitive, which they wouldn’t be able to afford at their current financial situation.
The main point was that he didn’t like seeing Xiaxia worrying about this every day.
Thinking so, he persuaded her, "Xiaxia, let’s not look for the herbs anymore. Trust , I can definitely survive this. Isn’t it just pain? Can it be more painful than when my leg was broken? I held on through that, I should be able to hold on now even more. Finding these herbs is too difficult, and even if we find them, it will cost a great deal of money and effort. Not to ntion that intoxicated heart flower from the young master of the Mu Family, which won’t be easily obtained."
"Brother An, I understand, but I will not give up." Yang Chuxia thought of what Uncle Cai told her about using the herbs for the soldiers and added, "Now this is not just about you anymore. So don’t try to persuade anymore, I will definitely find these herbs. Even if you can’t use them this ti, I still want to find them."
Then Yang Chuxia relayed the conversation she had with Uncle Cai to Ye Zi’an.
Hearing that it was such a great deed, Ye Zi’an naturally stopped dissuading Yang Chuxia and instead wholeheartedly supported her.
The previous day they couldn’t find the herbs Yang Chuxia wanted in the county, so the next day she planned to go shopping for the New Year goods, visit the governntal office, and then return to Yangshu Village.
After breakfast, the three of them headed out to various shops for shopping. They bought window decorations for the New Year, liquor for entertaining guests, all kinds of candies that the kids loved, etc. She even visited a jewelry store to pick out a hairpin for Ms.Wang.
After shopping, they hired a carriage to find the jailer, planning to go straight back to Yangshu Village after confirming everything.
Today the sa jailer was on duty. Seeing Yang Chuxia getting off the carriage, he did not approach her, but pretended not to recognize her.
"Sir, I want to visit so people inside. Could you please notify them for ?" Yang Chuxia got off the carriage and approached the jailer.
"Who do you want to see?"
"Yang Xiao’an from Yangshu Village."
"Eh, didn’t you just visit yesterday? Why are you here again?" The jailer acted as if he asked unintentionally, playing the part quite well. Then he said, "Wait here while I report your request inside."
A while later, Yang Chuxia followed the jailer in, leaving Ye Zi’an and Uncle Niu outside to wait.
"Miss, I have to tell you, the situation inside is a bit out of control." On the way, the jailer whispered to Yang Chuxia.
