"Licorice root, it smells sweet, and gently enters the heart, spleen, lungs, and stomach; the four meridians. Eating it raw, may cool down internal heat relieving fever and pain. If you broil it and make it into powdered medicine it can mend and increase your Qi, if melted it can be used as medicine to numerous poisons."
A young and tender voice of a child floated over the courtyard, a three or four-year-old girl is sitting under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, clearly reciting the contents of a medical book.
Beside her is a young woman lying on a couch, her body is covered with a pure white blanket, gently watching the little girl, her mouth curved into a happy smile.
LICORICE ROOT
(TL: It really has great benefits for the body; Google it for more info;-P)
......
"Young Miss, Young Miss, wake up!"
Accompanied by a light shake, Lin Yixue suddenly opened her eyes.
She was greeted by a simple and unadorned canopy that does not belong to a familiar world.
"Young Miss, are you dreaming again? This servant just heard you recite something about licorice root. As if reading the contents from a medical book. These past few days, you must be hiding books."
A young girl dressed as a maid held up the curtain, her round little face wearing a smile. Lin Yixue looked around the room for a long time and looked at the maid in front of her. Finally, she managed to come to terms with where she is. That is right, she remembered that she, Lin Yixue, just fashionably crossed over!
Obviously, several days ago she was still in the mountain area as a teacher for the program bringing education to underdeveloped areas. In the end because of the wind and rain that night, in order to save a female student, she slipped and fell down a cliff.
It is her good luck for not falling to her death, but unexpectedly possessing a strange body.
Well, to be exact, she should now be called Lu Yixue, the world's leading rich merchant Lu family's daughter from the first wife.
In fact, Lu Yixue was on her way to her father Lu Yuan, she came from their hometown in Ji Cheng, going to Sheng Jing. En route, the horse suddenly got startled, she fell from the carriage and sustained a head injury, and lost her life, giving Lin Yixue the opportunity to crossover.
Just a few days ago, Lin Yixue is very afraid, what if someone discovers her and see her as a devil and immediately burns her as a sacrifice, what should she do? Fortunately, the doctor's diagnosis is that Lu's eldest daughter has lost her memory because of the head injury
This servant girl, Zhenzhu returned ahead of Lu Yuan is newly assigned therefore she does not know the real Lu Yixue's character. Moreover, this young servant girl is simple-minded and outgoing, letting Lin Yixue learn a lot of useful information these past several days. They said that the servant girl waiting on her before just recently got married and is now pregnant, and the older woman is sick, so both are unsuitable to long-distance travels and stayed at home in Ji Cheng.
Fortunately, everything is just a scare, giving her enough time to adapt to this different world. But these past few days, every night she dreams of a young girl reciting from a medical book. This scene seems to be Lu Yixue's memory. But no matter, she is here now, even if it is in ancient times, she, Lin Yixue must live brilliantly!
"Hmmm....... Zhenzhu, what time is it?"
"Young Miss, It is already Wei Shi (1-3pm), Master came just a moment ago and saw that you have not woken up, I will go and bring out your noon meal. Master, before leaving, especially reiterated that Young Miss should obediently stay to recuperate and don't casually go out."
Zhenzhu opened the windows, the early summer wind carried along with a cool and refreshing smell, bringing the outside noises inside assaulting her senses.
"Young Miss, are you hungry? This servant will just get your food."
They are staying on the second floor of an inn, Zhenzhu went downstairs to get the food. While waiting for her food, Lin Yixue stood by the window to enjoy the scenery outside.
This is a typical town with a patchwork of waterways, bridges, beautiful landscape. The pedestrians coming and going are very lively. Because Lu Yixue's head was hurt, her father, Lu Yuan decided to stay here to wait for her to recuperate before going back home.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao ......, you must hold on, Mother will take you to the doctor."
Suddenly, a woman's anxious voice is heard. Lin Yixue look around, and from the opposite side of the Pleasant Inn, emerged a young woman holding a two-year-old child. Going out in a hurry they were followed by a person who seemed to be a maid.
Maybe because she was running in a hurry, her foot trip, and the woman fell in front of the door of the inn, the child rolled from the arms of the woman to the ground, his head weakly drooped.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, are you all right? You must not scare mother ah!"
The woman got up and cried to the child drawing him to her arms.
This sudden situation immediately attracted everyone's attention, in two's and three's they gathered to watch the scene. Lin Yixue's inquisitive eyes also moved to look over, she found that the child's ankle is swollen and turned purple, it is also accompanied by vomiting and coma symptoms. The heart being pulled, Lin Yixue somewhat felt sorry towards the child.
"My little master does not know which poisonous bamboo snake bit him. To inconvenience you kind people please specify to this servant, the way to the medical building, this servant will first thank you. "
The little maid behind is more rational, quickly and politely, she advanced a few steps, looking around the crowd with a grateful gaze she loudly asked the way.
"Medical building? this small town only has doctor Li, yesterday he has a matter he needs to do so he went out, if you go to the town at the latest it will be half an hour."
Replied by someone who has a good heart.
"Poisonous snake? What about that viper?"
"Yeah, yeah, such a small child, if he went to the town to go to the medical hall to be treated I'm afraid it is already late, he'll die."
"Such an adorable child, it's a pity."
Everyone around the mother and son talks about the two. The woman heard the people speaking about death, she only knows to embrace the boy and cry loudly.
Poisonous snake?
Although the venom is not fatal, if not treated in time, there will be a serious repercussion.
Lin Yixue's heart hesitated, she looked at the young boy, in a flash, her mind already emerged a method to save him. But recalling that her father has not allowed her to go out her footsteps halted. But when she looked at the unconscious young boy and his anxious mother, Lin Yixue decided to throw her father's words at the back of her head. Human life is beyond value, unable to change it very much.
Lin Yixue quickly went to the closet to find a thin scarf to cover her face, then she lifted up her feet and went downstairs.
"What happened to the young master?"
Lin Yixue brushed past the common people to crouch over the young boy.
"We brought the little master at the backyard of the inn to play, as soon as we were not looking, the little Young Lord is unexpectedly bitten by a poisonous snake."
The young boy had another burst of involuntary vomiting, and foaming of the mouth. Lin Yixue picked up the child's foot, and carefully looked at the wound, traces of two teeth marks, with a gap between 0.3 to 0.8 cm. There is a little bit of blood seeping and appears to be burning, the part is red and swollen, has nausea and vomiting. She then used her finger to peer open the child's eyes to look, he appears to already be severely poisoned and might go into shock. There is still barely enough time to save him but to rescue and give medical treatment demands immediate action. Lin Yixue prepared to immediately give medical treatment to the boy but when she was just about to start.
"Young Miss, what are you doing?...."
Lin Yixue has just finished checking the child's eyes when the maidservant's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Lin Yixue still wanted to touch her family's young master, she worriedly shrieked with anger, afraid that Lin Yixue will do something on her family's young master.
"Your family's little Young Lord's snake venom must be treated at once, or else the consequences are too horrible to contemplate."
Thinking that this maid is just worried about the child's safety, Lin Yixue did not bother with her lack of courtesy, she simply explained. Hearing Lin Yixue, the master and servant, stopped weeping. It was inconceivable, they looked at her up and down, in front of them is a weak and delicate person, even so, they did not dare to use their true identity in front of Lin Yixue.
"Pffft, to clear up snake venom, a physically weak little girl with no strength to truss a chicken, unexpectedly want to clear up a venom snake? Is that a joke?!"
Suddenly, a burst of jeering laughter came.
