Chapter 86 Exploring the Cave

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

"Prunella vulgaris? What is it used for?"

"Prunella vulgaris is very effective in treating scrofula, and because of the high mortality rate of scrofula, Prunella vulgaris is very precious and valuable. However, Prunella vulgaris grows very ordinary. It is different from weeds. It grows in summer. When the inflorescence is like withered grass, it gets its name and is ignored by people. Wei Ruo explained.

"I didn't expect it to be so common and 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 cook it with lotus leaves and light bamboo leaves, you can get a delicious herbal tea." Wei Ruo added.

"Ruo Ruo, do you still know how to make herbal tea?" Xie Ying asked.

"It's very simple to make herbal tea, just put the ingredients into the water and cook together, there is no skill, I also make Shaoxiancao and Guiling jelly, which is a little more complicated, but they are all good things to cool and relieve summer heat. "Wei Ruo said.

"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 lady back, I'm going to report to the police!"

Xie Ying flattened her mouth: "With you here, can I tie up your lady? How about I give you money, and you help me tie up your lady."

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

Wei Ruo nodded: "It can be considered. If I give enough, I can consider taking the initiative to cooperate with being kidnapped by you, and then share half of the stolen money with you."

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

Xie Ying was stunned: "Okay, you two, work together to calculate my money in front of me!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to throw the freshly picked Prunella vulgaris on Wei Ruo's body, but after looking at it twice, he was reluctant to throw it, so he changed the direction and threw it heavily into Wei Ruo's medicine basket.

Xie Jue stood five steps away, watching the three little girls fight and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This Miss Wei family is really an old spirit, no wonder she can subdue her little sister who does her own way.

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

Wei Ruo walked towards the cave curiously, but Xie Jue hurriedly stopped him: "Sister Wei, don't go there, this cave is dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Wei Ruo turned to look at Xie Jue suspiciously.

"The caves in Xingshan County are relatively large and deep, and some caves have complex internal structures. I'm worried that there may be some wild animals or snakes, rats, insects and the like inside." Xie Jue explained.

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

Xie Jue believed these words, but for the sake of safety, he decided to go in with him.

"I will follow behind you. If there is any danger, I can help in time." Xie Jue said.

"Then I will go too." Xie Ying strode forward.

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

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

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

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

"If Yingying wants to go, I have an 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 put the pulp of his index finger on the paste and kneaded it carefully, then smeared it on Xie Ying's wrist and ear base.

Xie Ying put her wrist in front of her nose and smelled it, "It smells good, there is a faint fruity scent, sweet, and it smells good."

"Well, I specially made the fragrance. Didn't I learn how to do it from my husband recently? I just used it on this ointment. It used to be that the ointment had an obvious smell of medicine, which would be unpleasant." Wei Ruo explained.

"Practice what you have learned, Ruoruo, you are really amazing!" Xie Ying couldn't help but praised Wei Ruo again.

Xie Jue, who was behind Xie Ying, was also amazed at this. This Miss Wei family is really interesting. The treasures on her body seem to be endless, and she can constantly surprise people.

Xie Jue looked at Wei Ruo with admiration and approval in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

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

Wei Shuojian stuffed the whole box of ointment into Xie Ying's hand: "This is for you."

"If you send me off, what about you?" Xie Ying asked.

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

"That's good!" 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 paint a little for you, save some, and return it to me after you paint it."

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

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

Xie Jue walked in the front, guarding the three girls behind.

The cave is a bit narrow and the road is complicated. After walking for a while, Wei Ruo said, "Let's go out, this cave is not what I want to find, and the road here is narrow and has forks. It may be dangerous to continue going forward."

Although Xie Jue and Xie Ying didn't know the reason, but 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 is she planning to find? I used to play around here when I was young, and I know something about 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, and the temperature inside is right, warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Large space, warm in winter and cool in summer..." Xie Jue thought about it seriously, "It seems that there is such a cave on the mountainside along this trail that meets your requirements."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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