Chapter 433


    "Most of the people living here are old people who stay behind. They are old and unwilling to move


    away. However, due to geographical reasons, the medical situation is very worrying. Therefore, our


    affiliated hospital will arrange for doctors toe over for volunteer medical consultation every once


    in a while and distribute some basic medicine." Teacher Cao introduced as they walked, "Look, the


    terrain of this vige is especially harsh. Even cars can''t enter. This is the ce we are going to


    today."


    Everyone silently tugged at the straps of their backpacks and followed Teacher Cao closely.


    Shi Jin also followed slowly. The mountain road was difficult to walk on and everyone had to help


    each other up.


    Although Teacher Cao was old, he walked without hesitation. He carried arge backpack and


    strode ahead.


    Shi Jin did not hold them back and continued walking in the middle. A momentter, she stopped in


    her tracks, her gaze drawn by a few unusual des of grass in the jungle.


    "Teacher Cao, Senior Li, I''ll go take a look at the nts over there." Shi Jin notified them and


    walked over.


    "I''ll go with you." Li Liangjing immediately followed her.


    Liu Kaiyuan could not help frowning. He secretly felt that these two were meddlesome. "What are


    you two doing? Can''t you see that the sky is almostpletely dark?"


    After all, he had grown up in a city. He had an inexplicable fear of this kind of dark forest.


    "Shi Jin must have found some herbs. Let her pick some." Teacher Cao had realized from his


    conversation with Shi Jin that this girl liked Chinese medicine and was very knowledgeable about


    herbs.


    "Don''t we have all kinds of emergency medicine in our bag?" Liu Kaiyuan patted his bag. He really


    did not understand why she was picking those herbs.


    Western medicine was very good. It was neat and convenient. For example, he only took up a small


    space when he packed themon emergency medicine. He was nothing like Li Liangjing and Shi


    Jin, who brought a bag full of herbs. Now that she saw new ones, she had to go and pick a bunch.


    Xie Rung stopped him. "Don''t say so much."


    Liu Kaiyuan frowned and did not say anything else. He only muttered in his heart, "Don''t let


    anything happen to these two on the mountain and implicate me again."


    After a while, Shi Jin and Li Liangjing each returned with arge bunch of herbs with water on them.


    "Teacher Cao, do you think this is a top-notch anti-inmmatory medicine?" Li Liangjing asked.


    "Not bad, it''s indeed a very good herb." Teacher Cao nodded. "Its ability to stop bleeding is also top-


    notch."


    Liu Kaiyuan said impatiently, "Let''s go."


    Li Liangjing and Shi Jin then walked forward. On the way, they saw other herbs and stopped to pick


    them.


    Both of them were very interested, especially Li Liangjing. In his usual studies and research, it was


    very difficult for him toe into contact with fresh medicinal herbs. He did not expect to have so


    many unexpected gains here.


    This was also due to theck of development in this forest. All the nts were in their original state,


    and no one would pay attention to these ordinary-looking herbs.


    The journey took a lot of time. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, Liu Kaiyuan''s


    anger had already umted to the maximum.


    "We''ll be staying here tonight." Teacher Cao opened a wooden door. "Come in. We used to live here


    when we came in the past."


    The wooden house was rather spacious. However, it was too simple and crude. There was a wave


    of moldy smell. And the already cold weather became even colder.


    Apart from amp, there were no other household appliances.


    Teacher Cao went to start the fire first. Li Liangjing and Shi Jin went to help cook the rice.


    Liu Kaiyuan took out a piece of bread and said, "Do you guys want to eat something to fill your


    stomach?"


    "No need." Li Liangjing and Shi Jin did not want to continue listening to hisints and rejected


    him directly.


    "Teacher Cao, what about you?" Liu Kaiyuan asked politely. Seeing that they didn''t want it, he


    shared it with Xie Rung.


    After the fire started, the food was cooked.


    The simple aroma of the dishes instantly revived


    everyone''s spirits. As they ate, they finally came back to life.


    The next day, everyone started their volunteer medical consultation.


    As expected, most of the people who came were old people in their seventies or eighties.


    These old people basically had some basic illnesses. This time, they were here to take a look at


    headaches, fever, blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on.


    Although it was simple, Li Liangjing and Shi Jin still recorded the data seriously.


    Liu Kaiyuan and Xie Rung were distributing medicine.


    These old people were very familiar with Teacher Cao. When they saw him bring the young people


    over, some of the old people who came to take the medicine turned around and sent over sweet


    potatoes, yams, corn, and other things.


    Teacher Cao also epted it with a smile. Only then did those elders leave in satisfaction.


    "Are we really going to ept these things?" Li Liangjing asked.


    "Take it. It''s all from the fields. It doesn''t cost much. If you don''t ept it, they will feel guilty,"


    Teacher Cao exined.


    Li Liangjing then found a bamboo basket and kept the items.


    After a busy day, everyone returned to the wooden house and finally rxed.

    On the way back, Shi Jin remembered that she had seen quite a lot of herbs. Since it was not dark


    yet, she could go out and look for more. There should be more.


    She informed Teacher Cao who said, "Go,e back early."


    Li Liangjing followed. "I''ll go with you."


    Liu Kaiyuan pursed his lips. "What''s the point of digging? Didn''t you see that the medicine we gave


    the elders today was all Western medicine? Even the elderly don''t eat those herbs anymore."


    Shi Jin turned a deaf ear and walked forward. She remembered that there were some herbs on the


    mountain that were very useful. She could pick them and nt them.


    Although Chinese herbs were different from western medicine, they were essentially the same.


    They were all used for curing and saving people


    Li Liangjing followed her. Seeing that she had already picked a bunch of herbs that he did not


    recognize, he could not help but ask, "Shi Jin, you really know a lot about these herbs."


    "A little." Shi Jin squatted down and took another handful. "Actually, these herbs are not particrly


    rare. It''s just that people nowadays don''t really believe in these herbs. So naturally, no one knows


    their value."


    Li Liangjing sighed. "Do you think our industry really has a future?"


    "How could it not?" Shi Jin smiled faintly. "It''s just that we haven''t brought it to greater heights yet."


    She gathered a few more and asked Li Liangjing to help her carry them. Then, she continued


    walking forward. She only returned when it was almost dark.


    As she neared the cottage, she smelled the rich aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and yams.


    Teacher Cao waved her hand and said, "Shi Jin, Liangjing,e and try it."


    Shi Jin took the roasted sweet potato from Teacher Cao. It had a strong fragrance and tasted sweet


    and sticky. The fragrance was overwhelming.
