Chapter 27: Bad Luck, Bai Lingzhi
He spent so much money on him, but he died before even stepping through the gates of the capital.It's a shame that our family lost so much money.If this money hadn't been spent on him, I could have go...Zong Yu's arm muscles were solid and powerful. Fang Jinxiu sat on top, able to feel his strength even through her clothes.
She was shocked by his monstrous physique.
He was carrying her in one arm and a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds in the other, yet he walked faster than before.
Fang Jinshi was embarrassed and didn't dare to hug Zongyu. She felt awkward and helpless.
"I'm sorry, I let you down."
"I'll rest for a bit. Once I get out of the mountains and onto the flat road, I'll walk on my own."
Zong Yu remained silent. As he climbed the slope, his body jolted, startling Fang Jinxiu who was sitting on his arm.
Just now she was still embarrassed to hug him, but now she directly hugged Zongyu's whole head.
"You, you, you, slow down."
"Too high, too high, I'm scared."
She called out, but Zongyu remained unmoved. His voice was muffled as he replied.
You're blocking my view.
Fang Jinshi, upon hearing this, hurriedly lowered her head to look. In her panic, she actually hugged his head in her arms like a life-saving straw.
An arm completely blocked the person's entire face.
She quickly let go and apologized repeatedly.
"Sorry, no, oh, a branch got caught in my hair."
"Don't move, let me fix my hair."
Fang Jinshu lifted her head and reached out to free her hair from the branch. Suddenly, her gaze shifted, and she saw something incredible.
Her hair was held by a piece of dead wood, and on the side branch, a white lingzhi mushroom grew.
This is truly, a pie falling from the sky, everyone passing by is full of surprise.
She excitedly patted Zong Yu's arm, ignoring her hair completely. She snapped the branch that was tangled in her hair with a crack and pointed at Bai Lingzhi's location.
"Come over here, I found something good."
White lingzhi can be of great benefit in the treatment of lung diseases, regardless of whether it is caused by any cough or shortness of breath. It can be added to the prescription for treatment.
Used as a versatile and crucial medicinal ingredient, it elevates the efficacy of the formula to a higher level.
"Zong Yu didn't say a word and hugged Fang Jinxiu as he moved over. He waited until she had picked the Bai Lingzhi before asking."
"What is this"
Zong Yu shook his head. His mother used medicinal herbs that were all cut into small pieces, and he had never seen Lingzhi, such a precious thing, before.
"So this is Lingzhi."
Fang Jinxiu hurriedly looked around the trees and sure enough, there was one, she had hit it by sheer luck.
"Our luck is really good, this white lingzhi mushroom looks quite good, it's also very useful for mother's illness."
She carefully put the white lingzhi away. She didn't have a bag to carry things in, so she could only tie her skirt hem into a knot as a temporary pocket.
Even if you don't use it to treat illnesses, you could still sell it at the pharmacy for a good price.
Upon hearing this, Zong Yu also relaxed and looked at Fang Jinxiu with an expression of disbelief mixed with a hint of fondness.
"It's all thanks to you."
Zong Bai said it right, seems like whenever I go out with Fang Jinxiu, good things always happen.
Two people were lost in the joy of obtaining lingzhi, completely unaware that a sneaky figure had been following them from afar.
After returning home, Old Mrs. Wu became increasingly angry. What ghosts The back mountain of Yenobu Village had never been known to have any ghost stories for so many years.
It's probably those two deadbeats, Zong Yu and Zong Bai, ganging up on her to scare her.
She had never forgotten the wild boar that Zong Yu had brought back, and since the drought, meat had become increasingly scarce on their table.
That evening, Xiao Xiao Hu suddenly developed a high fever and fell ill, leaving their family at a loss of what to do.
To see a doctor would cost money. Old Lady Wu remembered the wild boar at Zong Yu's house.
"A pig that big, they definitely wouldn't keep it at home."
"Boss, we should go to their place early tomorrow morning. That Zongyu kid is definitely going to town to sell the pig."
"Follow him and when he sells the pig, go to him immediately and ask for the money."
"This way, little tiger, now the money for the doctor's medicine is settled." trusted Shen Li, who had just emerged and was still recovering his memory, much more than them.Fang Jinshi nodded.At the fork in the road, Zongyu jumped out of the carriage and quickly headed towards...
