Chapter 86 Exploring the Cave

"This is called Prunella Vulgaris, and it's just right to pick it this season." Wei Ruo explained.

"Prunella vulgaris? What is it used for?"

"Prunella vulgaris has a miraculous effect in treating diseases like scrofula, and because the mortality rate of scrofula is very high, Prunella vulgaris is very precious and valuable. However, Prunella vulgaris grows very ordinary. It is no different from weeds. It grows in summer.

When it was young, the inflorescences looked like dry grass, hence the name, and also why it was ignored by people." Wei Ruo explained.

"I didn't expect it to be so common-looking but quite useful." Xie Ying knelt down to help Wei Ruo pick it.

"In addition, Prunella Vulgaris can also be used to make herbal tea. If you boil it with lotus leaves and light bamboo leaves, you can get a delicious herbal tea." Wei Ruo added.

"Ruoruo, can you still make herbal tea?" Xie Ying asked.

"Making herbal tea is very simple. Just put the ingredients into water and boil them together. There is no skill required. I also make Shao Xiancao and Guiling Jelly, which are a little more complicated, but they are both good things to cool down and relieve the heat in summer.

"Wei Ruodao.

"Ruoruo, you are such a treasure! I want to take you home and hide you inside!"

Xiumei on the side couldn't help but said: "Miss Xie, kidnapping is against the law. If you want to take my young lady back, I will report it to the police!"

Xie Ying pursed her lips: "With you here, can I kidnap your lady? How about I give you money and you help me kidnap your lady."

Xiumei immediately asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, Miss Xie said she would give me money. If it is more, can I consider it?"

Wei Ruo nodded: "You can consider it. If you give me enough, I can consider actively cooperating and being kidnapped by you, and then share half of the stolen money with you."

Xiumei agreed: "Yeah, yes, after we get the money, I will go to Xie's Mansion to rescue the young lady!"

Xie Ying was stunned when she heard this: "Okay, you two, you two can calculate my money together in front of me!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand as a gesture to throw the freshly picked prunella vulgaris on Wei Ruo's body, but after looking at it twice, he didn't want to throw it away. He changed the direction and threw it heavily into Wei Ruo's medicine basket.

Xie Jue stood five steps away and couldn't help laughing as he watched the three little girls playing around.

This young lady from the Wei family is really an old-fashioned person. No wonder she can control his sister who has her own way of doing things.

After walking for a while, Wei Ruo saw a cave.

Wei Ruo curiously walked toward the cave, but Xie Jue stopped him and said, "Sister Wei, don't go there. This cave is dangerous."

"Danger?" Wei Ruo turned around and looked at Xie Jue with doubts.

"The caves in Xingshan County are larger and deeper, and some of the caves have complicated internal structures. I'm worried that there are some wild animals or snakes, rats, insects, and ants inside." Xie Jue explained.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I still want to go in and have a look. Don't worry, my maid is very skilled. We also have experience in dealing with snakes, rats, insects and ants. We will be able to deal with any problems we encounter."

Xie Jue believed this, but for safety reasons, he decided to go in together.

"I'm following you. If there's any danger, I can help in time." Xie Jue said.

"Then I want to go too." Xie Ying strode forward.

Xie Jue hurriedly grabbed her: "Yingying, what are you going to do?"

"Why can't I go if you all go? I'm also very good." Although Xie Ying has never practiced martial arts, she is very good at horseback riding and archery, and is much more capable than ordinary ladies.

"But there may be snakes, rats, insects and ants in this cave, aren't you afraid?" Xie Jue asked.

"If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?" Xie Ying was not timid at all.

"If Yingying wants to go, I have anti-insect ointment here." Wei Ruo immediately took out a porcelain box from the backpack he brought.

After unscrewing the box, there is a light yellow waxy paste inside.

Wei Ruo placed his index finger on the paste and rubbed it carefully, then applied it to Xie Ying's wrists and the base of her ears.

Xie Ying put her wrist in front of her nose and smelled it, "It smells good, with a light fruity scent, sweet and nice."

"Well, I specially mixed the fragrance. Didn't I learn how to make fragrance from my husband recently? I just used this ointment by the way. Originally, the smell of this ointment and its obvious medicinal smell would be a bit unpleasant." Wei Ruo explained.

"Put what you have learned into practice, Ruoruo, you are so awesome!" Xie Ying couldn't help but praise Wei Ruo again.

Xie Jue, who was behind Xie Ying, was also amazed by this. This Miss Wei family is really interesting. She seems to have endless treasures in her body, and she can constantly surprise people.

Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with appreciative eyes and a smile on his face unconsciously.

Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, can my brother use some of your ointment? I'm also afraid that he will be bitten by insects and ants."

Wei Shu simply stuffed the whole box of ointment into Xie Ying's hand: "I'll give this to you."

"You gave it to me, but what about yourself?" Xie Ying asked.

"I still have it. I made several boxes at a time." Wei Ruo replied.

"Okay!" Xie Ying stopped being polite to Wei Ruo. After accepting Wei Ruo's ointment, she turned around and handed it to Xie Jue.

"I'll just apply a little bit on it for you, so you can use it sparingly. You'll have to return it to me after you've applied it."

"I know, I know." Xie Jue replied with a smile.

After all four of them applied insect repellent ointment, they entered the cave together.

Xie Jue walked at the front, protecting the three girls behind him.

This cave is a bit narrow and the roads are complicated. After walking for a while, Wei Ruo said: "Let's go out. This cave is not what I want to find. Moreover, the roads here are narrow and have forks. It may be dangerous to continue going forward."

Although Xie Jue and Xie Ying didn't know the reason, after Wei Ruo said so, they stopped staying, turned around, and retreated from the cave.

After exiting, Xie Jue asked Wei Ruo: "Sister Wei, what kind of cave are you planning to find? I used to play around here when I was a child, so I have some knowledge of the area. Maybe I can help you."

Looking at Xie Jue's serious face, Wei Ruo thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts: "I want to find a cave with a large space, good temperature inside, warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Plenty of space, warm in winter and cool in summer..." Xie Jue thought seriously for a moment, "There seems to be such a cave halfway up the mountain along this trail that meets your requirements."

"Master Xie, do you remember how to get there?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

"Well, remember, I will show you the way." Xie Jue said.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Wei Ruo said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite to me." Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with a gentle smile.

After the polite greetings, Xie Jue walked to the front and walked halfway up the mountain with Wei Ruo, Xiumei and his sister.

After bypassing several large rocks, a spacious cave entrance appeared in front of us.

Xie Jue was still at the front, followed by the three girls...
