“What else could herbs be for, if not to be used in redies?” Yang Ruxin looked up at the old man, “These are dandelions, also known as mother-in-law’s teeth, with a sweet and neutral taste, non-toxic, and can clear heat, detoxify, promote urination, and disperse lumps.
They can be used in dicine or as cooking ingredients.
Those over there are honeysuckles, also called winter honeysackle, cold in nature and sweet in taste, entering the lung, heart, and stomach ridians, with effects of clearing heat, detoxification, tonifying deficiency, and treating wind.
And those over there are wild chrysanthemums…”
“Girl, do you also know dicine?” A sharp light flashed in the old man’s eyes.
“I know a little,” Yang Ruxin said with a proud tilt of her head to the old man, “just morized ‘Collection of Hundred Herbs’ in the past few days…”
“Is that so?
What else can you do?” The old man seed even more interested.
‘Collection of Herbs’ is indeed a classic introductory text for dical practitioners.
Those apprentices who cannot master it proficiently don’t even qualify to study dicine, but for many, to fully recognize and rember all the herbs on that tree, at least three months are needed, and for so, even a year.
But it seed that this girl morized it in just a few days?
Could she be a dical prodigy?
“I know quite a lot.” Yang Ruxin grinned, “But why should I tell you?”
“You…” The old man’s beard twitched.
“Old man, you’ve eaten and drunk, isn’t it ti for you to leave?” Yang Ruxin straightened up and raised an eyebrow at the old man.
“You impudent girl, how dare you try to send away?” The old man felt sowhat despondent.
“You are a stranger to us, we don’t know your background.
What if you’re a bad person?” Yang Ruxin chuckled, “So, the door is that way…”
Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open, and soone walked in.
“Big sister, Brother Gu and Second Brother Gu are here.” Sanni rushed in first, followed by Zhou Xiao.
Yang Ruxin stood up and saw Gu Yao pushing Gu Qingheng behind Zhou Xiao as they walked in, and she hurried over to them, “Have you eaten?”
“The noodles were delicious.” Gu Qingheng nodded, “I heard you have a guest at ho?”
Yang Ruxin frowned slightly, glanced at Sanni and Zhou Xiao, and then nodded, “Yeah, an old man who almost ate our whole family out of house and ho…”
“Yes, I was indeed hungry.” The old man responded quickly this ti, and even walked over to Gu Qingheng, sizing him up and down, “The girl’s cooking is delicious.”
“You are…” Gu Qingheng’s brow suddenly furrowed, and then he cracked a smile.
At that mont, a sudden ‘thump’ was heard from inside the house, as if sothing had fallen to the ground, followed by groans.
Yang Ruxin paused, then her eyes widened and she turned and ran into the house.
Indeed, Xun Hui, who had been lying on the kang bed, was now sitting on the ground.
Yang Ruxin was overjoyed, “Mother, you’re awake.” She went over and helped her back onto the kang.
Having lain there for over a month, Xun Hui had beco very thin, and with Yang Ruxin’s strength increased, she managed to get her back onto the kang with ease.
“Dani…” Xun Hui blinked her sowhat dry eyes, staring blankly at Yang Ruxin, “What’s this…
what happened to ?” It felt as though she had a very long dream.
“You were hit on the head with a stick by Second Uncle.” Yang Ruxin chuckled, “You’ve been lying here for over a month.”
