Chapter 489 My sister suddenly got it
After leaving the clinic, Gu Xi gave Shui Fang a sly smile:
"Brother, I came here for this prescription. With it, I can go to the mountains to collect herbs."
Of course, this was just Gu Xi's cover-up. Her family didn't know that she knew medical skills.
Moreover, this prescription is actually of little use. To cure Shuiyou City, several kinds of medicinal herbs are needed. Guarding the mountains, as long as Gu Xi is willing to work hard, he will not be afraid of not being able to find medicinal herbs.
The horizontal side was surprised:
"Sister, do you know any herbs?"
Gu Xi said:
"These are some common medicinal herbs. They are easy to find in the mountains. Don't worry."
Shui Pingfang had no doubts and said:
"Well, I'll go with you to collect herbs first, and then go hunting."
Gu Xi said: "We can hunt and collect herbs at the same time without any delay."
Time is running out, and Gu Xi must ask his family to save some money and stock up some food.
There were still sixty copper coins left, and Shui Pingfang gave them all to Shui Miaomiao, saying:
"Sister, you've always wanted a hairpin, why don't you go and see if you have enough to buy one."
Gu Xi rolled his eyes at him:
"Why buy a hairpin? We can't even afford to eat at home. Wouldn't it be better to buy rice and flour?"
Shuipingfang looked at his sister in surprise. Why did he feel that his sister had changed so much?
He couldn't tell exactly what had changed, it was as if his sister had suddenly become enlightened.
The brother and sister went to the grain shop and spent all their eighty cents to buy grain. Grain was still cheap at that time, with refined rice and flour costing only five cents per pound.
Gu Xi knew that after a while, the price would increase exponentially, and eventually reach hundreds of coins per pound.
The brother and sister walked back.
Shui Fang would always go into the mountains to continue hunting after selling his prey, so he always carried a bow and arrow for hunting.
The two walked into the mountains.
His body was a little weak, and after walking for a while, Gu Xi became out of breath.
Horizontal said:
"Sister, how about I take you back first? The mountain road inside is even more difficult to walk on."
Gu Xi wiped his sweat and said:
"It's okay, let's keep going. I must collect the herbs for Dad today. Dad's legs can't be delayed any longer."
Gu Xi was looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests. Whenever he found something useful, he picked it and threw it into his backpack.
The horizontal party also shot two pheasants.
Gu Xi thought about it and realized that this wouldn't work. The speed of saving money was too slow, so he asked:
"Brother, pheasants and rabbits are not worth much. Is there any big game in this mountain?"
Horizontal said:
"Yes, there are wolves, leopards, and even tigers deep in the mountains. It's just too dangerous in there. My father and I hunt on the edge of the mountain. If we want to go into the mountains, we need to gather dozens of people."
If dozens of people go in together, the prey they catch won't be much to share.
Gu Xi wondered how to hunt big prey.
As he walked, Gu Xi discovered a plant of Zushi hemp.
This is a good stuff. It can dispel wind, dredge meridians, disperse blood stasis and relieve pain. It is perfect for treating injuries from falls.
Moreover, its root bark has anesthetic properties. With it, Gu Xi can re-set Shui Youcheng's bones.
Gu Xi's eyes rolled.
By combining this medicine with other herbs, she can make anesthetic and apply it on arrows. As long as the aim is good enough, the effect is comparable to that of a anesthetic gun.
"Brother, let's pick more herbs today. If you see this kind of herb, please help me pick more." Gu Xi said, pointing at Zushima.
Shuiping nodded and helped his sister pick herbs.
In the end, only two pheasants and a hare were caught, but the herbs filled two backpacks.
It was already afternoon when the brother and sister returned home.
I was so hungry that I found the steamed bread made by Xu very sweet.
After dinner, Gu Xi started making medicine.
At night, Gu Xi came to the main house and said to Shui Youcheng:
"Dad, let me apply medicine for you."
Shui Youcheng sighed again that his daughter has grown up and has become such a caring and filial child.
Gu Xi applied anesthetic on Shui Youcheng's leg, and then with a little force, he put the bone back in place.
Shui Youcheng felt strange. He could feel his daughter's hands pinching his legs, and heard a "click" sound.
He started, thinking his bone had broken again, but he felt no pain.
The girl skillfully wrapped his legs with cotton cloth and tied them up with two wooden boards.
"Miao Miao, Daddy's legs——"
He couldn't describe it, he just felt it was a very strange feeling.
Gu Xi laughed and said:
"It's okay, Dad. The medicine I boiled should be ready soon. I'll bring it to you. Take the medicine and change the dressings on time. The doctor said you'll be well soon."
Gu Xi brought the medicine over, fed Shui Youcheng it, and then returned to his room.
She got up early this morning, went to town, and then went into the mountains. She was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, she was awakened by the system's notification sound.
[Congratulations to the host for helping Shui Miaomiao complete the side quest of healing Shui Youcheng! ]
[Reward 100 points, which can be redeemed for items in the Points Mall. ]
[System awakening progress increased by 10%, current progress: 10%. ]
Gu Xi was overjoyed, feeling that all her hard work yesterday was worth it.
Gu Xi entered the points mall and saw a wide variety of supplies.
She looked through them one by one.
There are daily necessities such as medicine, food, water, clothes, etc., and the prices are relatively cheap, only requiring a few points.
There are also some more expensive items, such as space rings. The large one costs several thousand points, and the smallest one costs a hundred points. The small space is only as big as a small bedroom.
There were only 100 points, so Gu Xi decided to save them first and use them wisely.
