The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 417 Departure

"Sister, if you have nothing to do, come with us to the mountain to dig herbs! Sister Yuanyuan will lead us to make poison, which will be useful when the time comes!"

When Lin An heard Lin Xi say that he had nothing to do, he stuffed a sack into Lin Xi's hand and said with a smile.

"I went to the mountain this morning and saw that many herbs had withered and turned yellow. They are no longer usable!"

Lin Xi looked down at the sack that Lin An stuffed over to him, pointed at the forest, and said.

"Sister, Yuanyuan went up the mountain yesterday to check. She made a list. All the herbs on it can be used. Take a look!"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Ping took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to her.

Lin Xi took it and looked at it carefully. He saw more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs listed on the paper. Most of them were herbs with rhizomes used as medicine, and some were minerals and barks. All of these medicines were poisonous without exception.

This weather really did not affect the efficacy of these medicines. Lin Xi silently memorized the names of the medicines on the paper, returned the paper to Lin Ping, and said with a smile: "It seems that Yuanyuan started preparing yesterday. Very good, let's go, let's go up the mountain to collect herbs together!"

"Let's go! Sister, Sister Yuanyuan said we will only collect herbs for an hour. After an hour, no matter how many herbs we have collected, everyone should gather at the bottom of the mountain on time, and then let Xiaoque help dry the herbs, leaving her half an hour to make medicine!"

Lin An trotted behind Lin Xi and Lin Ping and spoke loudly.

"Got it, let's do as Yuanyuan arranges!"

Lin Xi responded with a smile, and the three siblings quickly went into the forest to collect the necessary herbs.

Many of the children from Linshan Village were already collecting herbs in the forest. When they saw Lin Xi and her two siblings, they all greeted them with smiles.

After a few brief words, everyone dispersed and began to look for medicinal herbs in the woods.

Time passed quickly in the busyness, and at the appointed time, the children all arrived at the foot of the mountain carrying the herbs they had collected.

Yuanyuan looked around but couldn't find Xiaoque. She ran to Lin Xi, grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Sister Lin Xi, where is Xiaoque? I'd like to ask it to come out and help!"

"It didn't come out at home, I called it over!"

Lin Xi looked at the round, rosy little face, nodded with a smile, and said to Xiao Que: "Xiao Que, come out for a moment and help dry the herbs."

Xiao Que was in the kitchen watching Cao making meat patties. When he heard Lin Xi's words, he quickly flapped his wings and flew out.

"Xiao Que, thank you for drying these herbs. We will make you something delicious when we come back!"

Yuanyuan saw the little bird, came up to it and said in a flattering manner.

"Okay, everyone spread out!"

The little bird nodded decisively, and after the kids dispersed, it spit out a few flames and wrapped several piles of different herbs with fire at the same time.

The kids had already cleaned up these herbs when they were collected, thus saving the time of selecting and collecting them.

In just half a quarter of an hour, Xiaoque had dried all the herbs according to Yuanyuan's requirements.

"Thank you, Xiaoque! You are so amazing!"

Yuanyuan raised her hand and gently touched the little bird's head, giving it a thumbs up.

The little bird said proudly, "You're welcome," and flew back to the kitchen to find Cao!

It loves the meat patties made by the owner’s mother. They taste best when they are fresh out of the pan. It has to go back quickly!

"Brother, take some people to grind these herbs into powder!"

"Sister Daya, please take someone to divide these herbs into portions according to their weight!"

"Chen Qing, please lead the team members to mix these herbs together according to the dosage on this prescription!"

"Xiao An'er, thank you for leading Goudan and the others to light the fire for us and control the temperature. Let's start making medicine!"

......

Yuanyuan looked at the team leaders and assigned the tasks one by one. The kids were busy in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Yuanyuan looked like a strong woman, and her capable appearance made Lin Xi's eyes light up.

This cute little girl has grown so much without us noticing!

The kids cooperated very well with each other. Half an hour later, Yuanyuan led everyone to refine the poison. She packed the poison into small paper bags and handed them to several team leaders, asking them to distribute them to the team members. She also told them in detail the effects of several poisons.

"Are you all ready?"

After seeing the kids put away the poison, Lin Kang walked up to them and asked loudly.

"Ready!"

The children's voices were very loud and uniform.

Just as Lin Kang was about to give the order to set off, he saw the villagers running towards him with their bags on their shoulders.

"Fortunately, fortunately, we made it!"

"Child, this is the dry food that mother made. Take it with you and eat it when you are hungry on the road!"

"Goudan, take these shoes with you. The mountain roads are not easy to walk on. If the soles of your shoes get worn out, it will hurt your feet!"

"Children, I heard that those bandits have killed many people and are very vicious. You must be careful!"

......

The adults in Linshan Village breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the children had not left yet. They hurriedly handed the things in their hands to the children, gave them a few simple instructions, and then stepped aside, looking at them with a worried and reluctant look on their faces.

"Don't worry, folks, we will definitely come back safely!"

Lin Kang clasped his fists towards the villagers of Linshan Village and spoke loudly.

"Mom, please go back quickly, we are leaving!"

"Grandma, I'm very capable, don't worry!"

"Dad, wait for me to take out that bandit's den, and then I'll come back and get you some wine!"

......

The kids waved and shouted to their families. After that, following Lin Kang's order, everyone lined up and quickly entered the forest, disappearing in a moment.

Lin Xi walked at the back. She took a deep look at the villagers who were standing with Cao and Lin Dayong, craning their necks to look into the woods, and then flew away.

"Okay, stop and rest!"

Three hours later, Lin Kang and everyone arrived at the place they had agreed on earlier. He gestured behind him and spoke in a low voice.
