Since the Xu family was a famous pharmaceutical family in the dynasty, it is not unusual for them to have a few rare herbs in their family.
The third Asarum plant that can prolong my life originally existed in the Xu family.
Years ago, Mr. Xu was seriously ill. Before he passed away, he had his last words——
This bitter-leaf asarum plant was a gift from an old friend, and he will definitely be buried with it after his death.
I don't quite understand. Although bitter leaf asarum is very precious, it is just a piece of hay after all. Mr. Xu loves it so much that he has to carry it with him even on the road to hell? Isn't he afraid of the bold thieves? Bitter leaf asarum dug his grave?
After all, I am a young lady with little knowledge, and the thief is indeed a thief. He disappeared before the Asarum was buried in the ground and the coffin was sealed.
The young master of the Xu family, Xu Qingyang, was a filial son. In order to find the bitter-leaf asarum plant and fulfill his late father's wish, he posted a reward notice——
Those who report the news will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins; those who find the information will be rewarded with ten thousand silver coins.
Immediately, the Xu family's search for bitter-leaf asarum caused an uproar, and everyone knew about it. It also set off a trend of digging grass in the mountains during the dynasty. Suddenly, all the medicinal mountains were bald.
I feel that these people really have no brains. Since the Xu family has offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, I wonder how much this bitter-leaf asarum plant would be worth if bought in a drug store? It must be more than 10,000 taels of silver, right?
Now, nearly a year has passed, and the Bitter-leaf Asarum plant has not been found. The matter has been silent, but a month ago, the cowardly thief actually sent a letter to the Xu family——
If the Xu family paid ten thousand gold as they wished, they would offer the bitter leaf and asarum as it was. If not, they would burn it on fire and sprinkle it into the moat, making sure that Mr. Xu would not be happy even in the underworld.
Well, I admire him very much. This thief is not only courageous, but also has a good mind. He holds such a golden lump in his hand. If he gives away a mere ten thousand silver, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"It's just a piece of hay, what's the difference? If someone picks one up casually, wouldn't the Xu family have to pay tens of thousands of gold?" Brother Ninth's eyes shone brightly, and he asked shrewdly, "It's not as good as us..."
I don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. It was only after I was in charge of the meals at Taixi Mountain that I realized that our masters and disciples are so good at eating. In less than half a year, half of my box of South Sea pearls had been eaten. This time I went down the mountain. I sent a letter home and asked my eldest brother to send three more boxes.
When Brother Ninth mentioned it, I also thought, since I am idle anyway, I might as well dig up a few dry grasses in the barren mountains and fields, stick them, and send them to the Xu family to join in the fun and earn some pocket money. of.
"That's wrong. This bitter-leaf asarum plant from the Xu family is the king of medicines. It has thick roots and fat leaves. It is absolutely impossible for others to fake it." Fifth senior brother - the miracle doctor Chang Mudao.
When Brother Ninth heard this, he curled his lips.
I pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid this is a plan of the Xu family. The young master of the Xu family dug Mr. Xu's grave for fear that the bold thief would miss the Asarum buried with him, so he released false news about the disappearance of Asarum." "Fan, we are afraid that we have to do a trip to Jinxiaowei first and explore the place where Mr. Xu has lived for a hundred years."
"Little Junior Sister..." Ninth Senior Brother ran up to me, his eyes shining, and he looked at me with great reverence.
The fifth senior brother tapped his index finger on the table, lowered his head and pondered.
After a long time, there was a snap sound, and Senior Brother Xiaobai put away the plain fan and said calmly: "Today the clouds are light and the wind is gentle, and the moonlight will be brighter later. Let's go to Mr. Xu's grave tonight and put incense sticks on it!"
