“There’s only one hot spring left. Let’s hurry there immediately.” Qi Ye reminded his companions as he glanced at them, his expression not looking good.
They had set off determined to obtain the medicinal herbs. They did not expect someone to beat them to it.
…
Outside the second hot spring…
“Miss Jiuyue, you’re really good at digging herbs. You’re so fast!” Deputy General Sun exclaimed as he dug, impressed by An Jiuyue.
He had dug up a Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flower, but An Jiuyue dug up ten. Of course, he was impressed!
“Dig quickly. We’ll go back when it’s dark.”
An Jiuyue turned around and glanced at Deputy General Sun. They had been in the mountains for more than two days.
It was not easy digging for the medicinal herbs. The herbs could be easily damaged after being obtained too, so they had to be dried or consumed in time.
Moreover, the medicinal herbs here were nowhere near enough for the military camp. They had to instruct the soldiers to gather more after they returned to the military camp with the herbs.
They could only use the herbs gathered so far to meet the pressing need.
“Alright, I’ll dig—”
“What are you doing?!”
Before Deputy General Sun could finish speaking, he heard a furious exclamation.
He turned around, saw the men rushing towards them, and subconsciously answered them in his heart, “We’re digging for herbs, of course! What else can we be doing?”
An Jiuyue heard the exclamation and knew they were here to dig for Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers too.
Unfortunately, they had already dug up most of them. She glanced down at their shoes, which were still stained with gray mud.
It was unique to the first hot spring she and Deputy General Sun went to.
They must have gone to the first hot spring and rushed here after they saw that someone had dug out all the Bipetalous Scarlet-blue flowers, right?
“Are you here for the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers too?”
She stood up and glanced at the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flower in her hand.
“Huh? They’re also here for the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers?”
Upon hearing An Jiuyue’s question, Deputy General Sun hurriedly protected the three bamboo baskets beside him. These were life-saving medicines for their soldiers. They must not be snatched away!
“Of course!”
Qi Ye was furious, especially when he saw they had so many herbs.
There’s no need to wonder. Those herbs must be Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers! They dug up all of them and didn’t even leave a single stalk behind! How will we explain this to our brothers who contracted the disease?
Another man glanced at An Jiuyue and Shen Zhuxin before asking, “Zhuxin, what should we do now?”
With the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers right before him, he had a crazy idea: He wanted to snatch them away to save his brothers in the 11th stockaded village temporarily.
However, he was a human, not a beast. He could not seize hold of someone else’s things!
Shen Zhuxin glanced at An Jiuyue and gritted her teeth. “There must be more Bipetalous Scarlet-blue flowers. Let’s look for them too.”
She could not bring herself to do such a despicable thing.
Fortunately, not many people in the 11th stockaded village had contracted the disease. She could dig for some Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue flowers first to suppress the disease outbreak.
