There is an ox cart in the town that is specially used to transport people into the mountains. The open-air cart is very large and can accommodate more than a dozen people. Ah Yi packed a car that looked clean and tidy, and all five people got on the cart. The ox cart had some
It was bumpy and not walking fast, and we arrived at a place called Xiquan Village at noon.
There is no road to take the bullock cart any further, and from here you have to hike into the mountain. It is cooler when you first enter the mountain, but by noon, you have already entered the deep mountain. The surrounding mountains are high and the forest is dense, and the wind cannot blow in, making it extremely hot and stuffy.
.
"Let's take a rest here. There will be no water source if we go forward." Yu Wen, a disciple of the Immortal Medical Valley who was leading the way, said.
"Okay." Fifteen saw his master nodding before agreeing.
Mingruo walked to the mountain spring, washed his face and hands, took out a piece of meat and sat on a stone to chew it.
Si Haochen sat down next to her: "Are you tired?"
"It's not bad." Mingruo has been exercising consciously in the past few months. If he had just passed through it, he would definitely not be able to walk such a long mountain road. "The Valley of Immortal Medicine is in this mountain. The road is difficult to walk and the access is too difficult.
It’s convenient.”
"We can be self-sufficient in the valley. We don't go out of the valley on weekdays. I went down to visit my mother because she was sick," Yu Wen replied.
"Oh." Mingruo nodded, but felt that there must be another entrance to the Immortal Medical Valley. Even if food and vegetables can be self-sufficient, can all other daily necessities be made by oneself?
When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the faint houses on the opposite mountain. Yu Wen said happily: "We'll be there in another hour's walk."
Mingruo only had one thought - we still have to walk for two hours.
Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand: "Can we still go? Do you want to take a rest?"
"No need, we're almost there." Mingruo decided not to climb mountains again.
When the sun set to the west, they finally arrived at the Valley of Immortal Medicine. Yu Wen arranged a place to live with the senior brother in charge and explained that he would take them to see a doctor early in the morning.
Disciples of the Immortal Medical Valley can practice medicine everywhere, but the Immortal Medical Valley is a reclusive sect and rarely interacts with people outside the valley. If someone comes to the valley to seek medical treatment, they will not be turned away. Therefore, many people seek medical treatment.
People living in southern Yunnan, if they are lucky enough to meet disciples from the Immortal Medical Valley, they will have the opportunity to go to the valley to seek medical treatment.
There are many people using this method to enter the valley, and the guest rooms prepared for medical patients are quite tight. When Mingruo and they arrived, there were only two rooms left. They could only share one room for Mingruo and Si Haochen, and one for Ayi and Shiwuyi.
between.
The person who assigned the room made a special statement: except for medical treatment, they could only move around in the courtyard and were not allowed to walk freely in the valley.
The guest room was very plainly decorated, with only a simple canopy bed, a square table and two benches. Mingruo put his small baggage on the table, sat on the stool and beat his legs.
Si Haochen looked at Mingruo, with a hint of distress hidden in his eyes. He did not expect that the road into the mountain would be so difficult.
Mingruo calmed down and looked up at Si Haochen: "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Si Haochen shook his head.
Mingruo took his hand and checked his pulse carefully: "It's indeed okay. However, the road is so difficult, how can the patient get in..."
"It's precisely because you can't walk in that the guest room is tense."
"Oh, that's true." It is estimated that when one person comes to see a doctor, there must be three or four people accompanying him. Si Haochen also brought the three of them.
After a while, Fifteen came in with a teapot and a bucket of hot water: "Master, Madam, I just inquired about it. The only dining hall here provides meals, and there is no food after the hour."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two of them washed themselves up with the hot water that had been brought for fifteen minutes, and waited for the canteen to have dinner at Youshi. Si Haochen used to live in the army, and it is estimated that the food in the canteen is similar to that cooked in the military kitchen.
"The food in the canteen is probably not very tasty." Si Haochen felt that it was necessary to give Mingruo a vaccination. She was a princess and should not have suffered like this.
"I know." As a top student, Mingruo's taste buds have been ravaged by many cafeteria ladies. "After all, I am a doctor, not a restaurant."
Just as Ming Ruo wanted to go to the yard for a walk, Shi Shi came in with a food box: "Master, Madam, please enjoy your meal."
Fifteen quickly took out the vegetables in the food box - green vegetables and dried beans, scrambled eggs, fried pork with chili, and two bowls of rice.
"Can't we only go to the dining hall to eat?" Ming Ruo was a little surprised.
"Money can make people go around. I saw someone going to the kitchen to buy vegetables, so I followed him." Shi Shi was still a little dissatisfied, "But there are only a few kinds of food."
"It's already very good. We're not here for fun." Mingruo said with a smile, "You go buy some more food and come back to get the dishes after you and Ah Yi finish eating."
"Thank you, Madam." Fifteen took the order and left.
Si Haochen looked at Mingruo thoughtfully. When she needed to show herself as a princess of a country, she showed royal dignity. She was usually very easy-going and did not even act like a master. Is it because she was a doctor?
Such a big difference?
I didn't sleep well at night. The bed in the guest room was too small, and their arms could touch each other when they lay down. Mingruo really didn't know how Ah Yi and Shi Fifteen managed to sleep.
After breakfast, a disciple took them to see a doctor. Even if there was such a rare medicinal material as Flame Heart Lotus Seed, it should be in the hands of the Valley Master. Si Haochen did not directly ask to see the Valley Master, because he believed that his
Most people can't diagnose heart disease. For the sake of the Immortal Medical Valley's reputation, the people below will ask the Valley Master to take action.
As Si Haochen expected, after the two elders failed, they invited the Valley Master to come.
The owner of the valley was in his forties, wearing a white brocade robe, with a square face and a very straight face. But Mingruo always felt that he looked like a sanctimonious righteous man in the martial arts dramas he watched when he was a child, such as Yue Buqun.
The Valley Master took Si Haochen's pulse and never relaxed his brows: "Young Master has been suffering from heart disease for a long time, and there is nothing I can do."
"My master came to the Immortal Medical Valley to find medicine." Fifteen had a cordial and friendly conversation with the owner of the valley, explaining his purpose of coming.
"The flame heart lotus seeds are a treasure in the valley. I will never sell them." The owner of the valley decisively refused.
"How about exchanging the 500-year-old Purple Jade Ginseng King with the Valley Owner?" Si Haochen said indifferently.
"..." The Valley Master was silent for a moment, "If I don't change..."
Mingruo could hear the wavering in the valley owner's refusal.
"Two." A confident smile appeared on Si Haochen's lips. He could naturally see the valley owner's heartbeat. His repeated refusals were just to obtain more benefits.
"Since the young master sincerely asks for medicine, I naturally can't bear that the young master returns empty-handed." Although Yanxin lotus seeds are rare, their biggest function is to relieve cold poison. And the purple jade ginseng king can do too many things. In fact, one change
No loss at all.
Ming Ruo rolled her eyes to the sky in her heart. She was right from the beginning. This cunning Valley Master was definitely Yue Buqun.
"Qingchen, open the Valley Master's private treasury and get the Flame Heart Lotus Seeds." The Valley Master immediately ordered.
After the Valley Master finished speaking, his eldest disciple did not go to get the medicine, but knelt down on the ground with a pop.
