Chapter 393 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 4
It took them more than half an hour to walk the distance at their leisurely pace.
When they returned to the village, in order not to disturb the villagers, Zhou Shengchen and the other two got off their horses, and Ling Xi led them into the village through a small path.
The old doctor built his thatched hut at the innermost part of the village, far away from other villagers' houses and quite remote.
Moreover, because there are many medicinal herbs planted at the door, the villagers usually do not come to the thatched cottage except to see the old doctor and Ling Xi for medical treatment and medicine.
They were afraid of stepping on the medicinal herbs at the door.
Usually, Ling Xi goes to their place.
However, because there are not many people in the village, Ling Xi often goes there to visit, so Ling Xi has a very good relationship with those uncles and aunts.
What's more, she can read and can teach their children to read, so they like her even more.
In short, the neighbors get along harmoniously and there are no conflicts among them, which is exactly what Ling Xi wants.
"Your Highness, Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Fengqiao, we are here."
Ling Xi led the three people into the yard.
Perhaps hearing her voice, a white ball quickly ran out of the house.
It was a snow-white puppy with long hair. It looked fluffy and very cute.
The white ball ran to Ling Xi's ankle, rubbed Ling Xi's thigh, and hummed a few times, as if it was acting coquettishly to Ling Xi.
"Snowball, stop it."
Ling Xi squatted down, touched the snowball, and said to it with a smile.
"so cute."
Feng Qiao looked at the puppy with surprise, her eyes sparkling, and she immediately showed her love for Snowball.
When Zhou Shengchen walked in, he saw that the yard was tidy and various things were arranged neatly.
At the entrance is a large area of lushly planted herbs. From a distance, it looks green and lush, and it looks very lively.
When the wind blows, the herbs sway in the wind like fluttering butterflies.
It was obvious that the owner kept the house very clean.
After touching the snowball, Ling Xi turned to look at Zhou Shengchen and the other two with a warm attitude, and said with a smile: "Prince, Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Fengqiao, let's go into the house."
The three of them followed Ling Xi into the house, and Snowball ran in with his short legs, following closely.
The house was also kept clean and tidy, with everything in order. It didn't look like the home of a twelve-year-old girl at all.
Because there are many medicinal herbs in the house, the air is filled with a strong and somewhat bitter medicinal aroma, which is not unpleasant but makes people feel very comfortable.
Ling Xi asked the three of them to sit down and then poured them a glass of water.
Feng Qiao's hand quietly touched Snowball, and Snowball curled up into a ball and sat there obediently.
Feeling the smooth touch, her happy grape eyes narrowed into slits.
Hong Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Ling Xi, this really doesn't look like a place for a little girl like you to live."
In Hong Xiaoyu's impression, there is always a large wardrobe in a girl's room, filled with colorful clothes.
Then there is a dressing table and a bronze mirror.
At worst, there will be some decorative gadgets to add some fun.
But there was none of these in Ling Xi's house.
There was a large medicine cabinet and a desk, on which were neatly placed writing brushes, inkstones, and piled-up books.
Even though he knew that this was the main house and not the bedroom, Hong Xiaoyu was still surprised.
Ling Xi smiled and replied: "A doctor's home doesn't need too many trivial things. There are more than enough medicinal materials."
Zhou Shengchen suddenly asked: "Are you safe living here alone?"
Somewhat surprised by the young Prince Nanchen's concern for her, Ling Xi shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine. I set up traps and medicine powder outside. Ordinary thieves won't break in."
Zhou Shengchen now felt relieved and knew how to protect himself, which was a good thing.
After staying for a while, they planned to leave.
After all, they have to return to the barracks, and military affairs are busy, so they can't stay for too long.
After hearing this, Ling Xi hurriedly stopped them: "Prince, Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Fengqiao, please wait for me for a while."
Ling Xi walked to the medicine cabinet on the side, opened a few drawers, and took out many bottles and jars.
I found a bag and put all these things in it.
Then, Ling Xi handed the bundle to Hong Xiaoyu and introduced, "Sister Xiaoyu, these are my homemade powders and pills. Some of them are for treating external injuries, some for treating internal injuries, some for treating colds, and some for detoxification. I have written the uses on the bottles. Your army should need them. If you are worried, you can ask the doctors in the army to check them before using them."
Ling Xi wasn't sure whether they would use it, but these medicines were needed more in their army, so she was just doing her part.
After all, there probably won't be any chance for us to meet again in the future.
Zhou Shengchen pushed the bag back and said, "This is too valuable. We can't take it."
"It's just some medicine. I have a lot more here. They are not worth much silver. Besides, I usually only treat them in the village. I don't need these medicines at all. It's a waste to keep them here. It's better to use them on the soldiers defending Northern Chen. It's more valuable."
Ling Xi explained in detail, looking at Zhou Shengchen with a hint of smile in his eyes, "If these medicines can save more lives of soldiers, then they are useful. Otherwise, they are useless even if they are worth a thousand gold."
Hearing this, Zhou Shengchen stopped refusing. He solemnly bowed to Ling Xi and said, "On behalf of the soldiers in the army, I would like to thank you for your kindness, young lady."
Ling Xi responded: "Compared to the prince's protection of the peace of Xizhou and Beichen, what Ling Xi has done is not worth mentioning."
Originally, Ling Xi wanted to give them the prescription as well, but thinking about his medicine, except for the special medicine used in the detoxification pill, many of the other medicines had common ingredients, but the proportions were much more sophisticated.
If there are skilled doctors in the Xizhou Army, they should be able to come up with a prescription based on these medicines.
Zhou Shengchen and the other two left with the medicine.
On the way, Feng Qiao said happily: "Sister Ling Xi is such a good doctor, it's amazing, and she is beautiful and kind, but I'm afraid I will rarely have the chance to see her in the future."
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful.
It would be great if she could get Ling Xi back to the military camp, but Feng Qiao also knew that life in the military camp was too hard and not suitable for a well-behaved and sensible little sister like Ling Xi.
Hong Xiaoyu echoed, "Yes, we've been fighting everywhere, and it takes us a long time to go back to Xizhou City. I'm afraid we may not see her for several years. What's more, she doesn't live in Xizhou City. Besides, isn't it good for her to live a peaceful life like this?"
It was the first time she met such a young and steady person. She and Feng had to become steady because they had been in the military camp for a long time.
People of Ling Xi's age should still be acting like a spoiled brat to their parents at this time, but Ling Xi has already taken good care of herself.
It's not easy.
Zhou Shengchen couldn't help feeling a little dazed when listening to these words.
Yes, Ling Xi’s life is so stable that she is not the same kind of person as them.
What he wanted was to allow thousands of people in Xizhou and Beichen to live a stable life.
