Chapter 14: Still Painful Despite Being Unable to Move
the table, and a couple walked in hand in hand. 。When they saw Tong Yimo, their expressions were shocked. 。Tong Yimo unintentionally raised her eyes and looked at them, she was even more dumbfounded....Seeing this, Liang Dad took out a small medicine box from under the registration table and handed it to Liang Yimo, instructing: "There are many snakes in the mountains, so you still have to be more careful."
"Well, I understand. Then I'll go up the mountain to collect herbs!" Liang Yimo took the medicine box from her father, Liang Ba, and put it in the bamboo basket on her back. Then she went out the back door and onto the path, heading towards the opposite hillside.
During these days back, she helped Liang Ma gather medicine on the mountain every day. She would finish one hill and move on to the next, and each mountain was deeper than the last.
Liang Ma these days, isn't comparing her to Su Manxue, or comparing her to her cousin Tong Mengmeng.
In short, other people's daughters are the best. Her Liang Yimo is not as good as other people's daughters in any way.
Liang Ma actually hoped that her brother, Liang Xiangru, would inherit their grandmother's mantle, but her brother was not interested in traditional Chinese medicine and didn't want to stay in this poor and remote place for his whole life.
She, Liang Yimo, has been following her grandmother to collect herbs in these mountains since she was a child. She is quite interested in traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately, she failed to get into medical university. Her mother, Liang Ma, refused to pay for her to retake the entrance exam, so she could only make do with her life.
The mountains lack the bustling city life and noise, but instead offer the abundance and vivacity of nature.
Liang Yimo crouched under a large tree, amidst withered branches and lush grass. While she collected herbs, she listened to the chirping of insects and birdsong, yet she couldn't see any insects or birds.
Today she was lucky, she collected lingzhi and ginseng. Unknowingly, she had entered the deep mountains. Deep in the mountains, towering trees stood tall, and streams flowed gently between them. Though it was a sweltering summer day, here it was warm like spring.
Liang Yimo had just picked a halfsummer grass when, inadvertently looking up, she spotted several beautiful deep purple flowers in the bushes. From afar, they looked a bit like peony flowers and were very pretty.
It's in a girl's nature to love flowers. Liang Yimo wasn't surprised, since the flower was so beautiful, she wanted to take it back home and plant it in a pot along with its roots.
When Liang Yimo walked over and took a closer look, her face turned pale in an instant.
This is not a poppy, but… a poppy!
Poppy is an introduced species; they are not native to this place.
Then, why would there be poppies in this deep mountain
Liang Yimo frowned and thought for a moment, then pulled out the poppies and put them in the bamboo basket behind her back, covering them with other herbs.
Following this winding, unformed mountain road, Liang Yimo continued walking until she reached the summit and stood on a large rock overlooking the distance.
Here, mountains rise upon mountains, with clouds and mist swirling around them, as beautiful as a paradise hidden from the world.
Liang Yimo followed the distant view downwards. At the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, there was a large expanse of red, pink, orange, yellow and purple flower fields.
It was obvious that the vast field of flowers wasn't naturally grown.
Those flowers… are poppies!
Who would hide in these deep mountains and forests to cultivate poppies
Liang Yimo suddenly understood something and turned to run.
The descent was much faster than the ascent. Liang Yimo hadn't even reached the halfway point when a scream, "Ah!", suddenly echoed from an unknown direction.
The scream was a man's voice.
Liang Yimo frowned slightly, instinctively hiding behind a clump of bushes.
"Crack—snap—crunch—"
"Is this snake dead"
"I don't know! Come on my back quickly, I'll carry you down the mountain to see a doctor."
Hearing this person's voice, Liang Yimo suddenly felt very familiar.
"No... I can't move, my legs are numb... and it hurts so much!" Another man's voice.
Liang Yimo's eyes sank slightly, following the voices of the two men.
Under a large tree less than ten meters away, sat two men dressed in their Miao ethnic attire.
Liang Yimo saw that one of the men had two blood holes on his ankle, and a black and white snake lay motionless by his side. She quickly put down the bamboo basket on her back and checked the man's wounds.
"Silver ring snakes generally don't attack people proactively, it must have been you accidentally stepping on it just now." Liang Yimo took out a medicine box from the bamboo basket and took out a small wooden box from inside. After opening the wooden box, there were several brown pills inside.
She didn't say a word, she picked up one of the small pills and shoved it straight into the man's mouth, ordering him to swallow it.
Immediately, Liang Yimo took out an unopened syringe and antivenom, after preparing everything, she injected the man.
Two men looked at Liang Yimo, their faces meeting in a silent exchange. However, they did not resist because deep down, they understood that she was saving them.
Next, Liang Yimo took out a water flask from the bamboo basket and unscrewed the cap. While rinsing the man's leg wound, she also retrieved a mortar and pestle from the medicine box. She then rummaged through the basket for medicinal herbs, crushed them in the mortar, and applied the paste to the man's leg wound. Finally, she used gauze to secure it in place.
"After we get down the mountain, we'll go to the county town to find a doctor to take another look at you." Liang Yimo continued, lifting her eyes and accidentally meeting the gaze of another man.
The man had cold, dark eyes and a very delicate face. Although his lips and chin were covered in a scraggly beard, the skin on his face showed that he was probably only in his early to mid-twenties.
They were made up, disguising their true faces. Although they wore the clothes of this place, the way they spoke gave away that they weren't from here at all.
"Thank you, you saved my brother." The man thanked the person beside him who had been bitten by a snake.
The more Liang Yimo listened to the voice, the more familiar it sounded. Suddenly, she remembered something and reached out to slap the man's face, pulling off a tuft of beard from under his chin.
"It's you again!" Liang Yimo clutched the fake mustache in her hand, her eyes wide with surprise as she stared at Leng Yeshen.
This man, he just won't go away!
Cold Night Chen pursed her lips and gave a shy, slight smile. "Hi, baby, we meet again!"
"You two know each other" Han Jianfeng, who had been bitten by a snake, looked at Leng Yeshen in astonishment, then at Liang Yimo.
Cold Night sank his elbow into Han Jianfeng's shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Don't you call her sister-in-law"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving my life!" Han Jianfeng nodded repeatedly.
Liang Yimo slightly frowned, too lazy to pay attention to these two stinky men. Instead, she casually picked up a branch and poked the silver ring snake that had been lying motionless on the ground for a long time.
"Is it already dead" Liang Yimo muttered to herself, struggling with whether to take the snake back home to make into medicine when suddenly the snake moved again.
Han Jianfeng saw the snake move again and immediately shrank into Leng Yeshen's arms, his hands hugging Leng Yeshen's neck in a particularly "girly" manner.
This person is truly afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once!
