Just when Lin Chen was thinking about enjoying a mont, Li Yuqing's face turned red and she let go of his arm.
Until ten in the morning, not a single patient had co to the clinic.
Lin Chen, bored, had been dozing off when suddenly his gaze was drawn to the mountain behind.
"Yuqing, let's go gather so herbs in the mountain!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Go into the mountain to gather herbs?" Li Yuqing hesitated.
"Yes, your father is quite stingy, look at the hospital, it doesn't even have so of the most basic anti-inflammatory drugs. I've studied traditional Chinese dicine, we can go into the mountains and gather so herbs to replace them. This can save us quite a bit of money, and your dad will definitely be happy," Lin Chen said.
Li Yuqing thought for a mont and said, "Well, all right, let's head into the mountain!"
Lin Chen and Li Yuqing each carried a dicine basket and headed towards the mountain.
Along the way, Lin Chen explained the knowledge of dicinal herbs to Li Yuqing.
"Look, this is Panax notoginseng, it can stop bleeding," Lin Chen pointed to a lush green patch of small grass on the mountain.
Li Yuqing nodded, attentively morizing the information Lin Chen shared.
At that mont, Li Yuqing spotted a very beautiful flower growing on a rock.
She ran over wanting to pick the flower, just as Lin Chen turned around and saw Li Yuqing reaching for it.
"Be careful!" Lin Chen hurriedly warned, but it was too late. A triangle keelback snake darted out and bit Li Yuqing on the upper thigh.
"Ah!" Li Yuqing scread and fell to the ground.
By then, Lin Chen had already rushed over, placing a stick over the snake's critical spot and with his other hand, he supported Li Yuqing's waist.
"How are you doing?" Lin Chen asked anxiously, looking at Li Yuqing's wound.
Li Yuqing frowned, "I feel a bit dizzy."
"Let
see your wound," Lin Chen said anxiously.
"No, the wound is in..." Li Yuqing said, her face reddening.
Lin Chen frowned, "I can't worry about that now, that was a venomous snake. I must suck the venom out, otherwise the poison could reach your heart and be fatal."
Saying this, Lin Chen helped Li Yuqing sit on a rock, and then he went under the hem of her skirt.
"Damn, this snake really knows where to bite, nowhere else but here."
Having finally sucked all the venom out and spat out the blood, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a few leaves out of the dicine basket, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to the wound, then stood up.
"All done, no worries now," Lin Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Li Yuqing, feeling extrely grateful for Lin Chen's reckless effort to extract the poison, stood up and said, "Thank you, you saved my life again."
"I couldn't bear to see such a rare beauty die," Lin Chen joked as he picked up the snake from the ground.
"Why did you bring the venomous snake back; it's so dangerous!" Li Yuqing shivered at the sight of the snake.
Lin Chen chuckled, "This snake is a precious dicinal ingredient, worth quite a lot."
Due to Li Yuqing's injury, the two planned to return, but just then, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly fell on a crevice in the rocks not far away.
"Wait for
a mont, I'll be right back," saying this, Lin Chen made his way to the cliff edge.
Seeing Lin Chen standing at the edge of the cliff, Li Yuqing gasped, "Lin Chen, what are you doing? Don't go down, it's very dangerous."
However, before she could finish speaking, Lin Chen had already jumped off the cliff.
At that mont, Li Yuqing's heart was almost leaping out of her chest. Lin Chen was at the edge of a deep abyss, clinging to the rocks. He managed to dig out a ginseng from the very sa crevice he had approached earlier.
Lin Chen looked at the ginseng in his hand, overjoyed.
This was a thousand-year-old ginseng, which could be worth at least five million.
Lin Chen climbed the rocks like a monkey, quickly returning to the cliff top.
Seeing Lin Chen back, Li Yuqing finally felt relieved.
"You scared
to death," Li Yuqing said, patting her chest.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "We've really struck it rich this ti."
"Struck what rich?" Li Yuqing asked, puzzled.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Do you see this ginseng? It's extrely valuable."
"Really?" Li Yuqing took the ginseng and looked at it, not finding anything that set it apart from any other ginseng.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Yuqing, do you know which is the biggest dical store in Zhonghai?"
Li Yuqing nodded, "The biggest around here would have to be the Bai Cao Tang owned by the Mu family."
Lin Chen nodded, "Let's go to Bai Cao Tang right now."
Li Yuqing rode the electric scooter, driving on the small road.
Lin Chen was vaguely taken back to the ti he first t Zhao Xiaowen; it had already been over four years, and everyone had grown up.
Thinking of how Xiaowen was still lying in the hospital bed, Lin Chen felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife.
After more than an hour, the two arrived at Bai Cao Tang.
Bai Cao Tang was located in a pri location in Zhonghai City, the majestic Bai Cao Building showcasing Bai Cao Tang's strong capabilities.
Lin Chen and Li Yuqing walked into Bai Cao Tang, where many people were queuing to buy dicine.
"The traditional Chinese dicine at Bai Cao Tang is the best in the whole South China region, so anyone with a sick family mber gets their dicine here," Li Yuqing explained.
"I see!" Lin Chen nodded and walked over to a counter.
A staff mber glanced at Lin Chen and indifferently said, "Sir, are you buying dicine? Please go over there to line up."
"I'm not here to buy, I'm here to sell," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Sell? What dicine? Can you let
take a look first?" the staff mber asked indifferently.
Lin Chen nodded, handing over the thousand-year-old ginseng to the staff mber.
The staff mber glanced at it and said, "Sir, this ginseng is of good quality and could be worth about twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand?" Li Yuqing was stunned on the spot.
She never imagined that such a ginseng could be worth so much money.
However, Lin Chen frowned upon hearing the staff mber's words, "Never mind, just give
back the ginseng and let your manager talk to ."
"Sir, I can handle a dicine sale of twenty thousand without our manager," the staff mber said.
"Twenty thousand? You think I'm a fool? Since you don't recognize the true value, better find soone who does!" Lin Chen said, sowhat displeased.
"You must be joking; this is a thousand-year-old ginseng. Even two hundred million wouldn't be enough to make
sell it."
Hearing Lin Chen say he had no knowledge of value, the staff mber's face imdiately darkened.
"Sir, I am a highly professional appraiser pharmacist. Your ginseng is worth twenty thousand. Thinking you can make a fortune from digging up a wild ginseng, you must be crazy for money!"
