Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1444 Mr. Liu is Superior

Not long after the acupuncture, the little grasshopper stopped shaking and his face gradually turned red.

Only then did Liu Ya give the little grasshopper a good pulse check, and then said: "This is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After the time passes, the acupoints will be untied by themselves, and you will still be cold. Are there any medicinal materials prepared on board? I will give You make up a temporary medicine, soaking it for a while will be very effective."

"Yes, Mr. Liu, come with me." A young boatman who had been accompanying the little grasshopper took up the conversation, and said, "My family used a boat to transport medicinal materials before. Later, some pockets leaked, and a lot leaked out. The medicine came. When the cargo was unloaded and a lot was swept out, we didn’t know what it was, but we kept it.”

Sweep out the medicine!Liu Ya was also a little helpless.

But maybe the little grasshopper is lucky, and he can find one or two medicines to strengthen the foundation and improve the vitality, and it will do a lot for him to use.

Liu Ya said: "Okay, then I'll go and have a look. Please lead the way."

The boatman took Liu Ya to the cargo hold, took out several cloth bags from under a compartment, and showed them to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya is very sensitive to medicinal materials, she smelled them with her nose, then shook her head and pushed away the few in front of her.Picking up two more bags and smelling them, he also shook his head.

The boatman asked curiously, "Young Master Liu, can't these medicines be used?"

"It's not that it can't be used, but that the properties of the medicine are different. If I can't pick out what I need, I can't use it as medicine."

Liu Ya also felt that it was a pity, because it was good to be able to distinguish several medicines.However, traditional Chinese medicine is the most particular about matching, and if mixed together, it will lose its efficacy. Although it has not been soaked in water, strictly speaking, it is no longer usable.

Seeing that Liu Ya just put it down after smelling it, the boatman was also puzzled.He hurriedly said: "Young Master Liu, you can't just smell it and let it go. Or, why don't you come out and have a look?"

Liu Ya knew that this person was also doing it for the little grasshopper's benefit, and she didn't blame him for doubting her medical skills, so she nodded.

In the end there were two bags left, Liu Ya opened the bags and poured them out, her eyes lit up.

Because there are two pieces of Cistanche in it, which are quite big, and the rest are ginseng and epimedium.

These medicines are all for tonifying the kidney and strengthening the vital energy.Although the little grasshopper is still young, there is no need for such a big supplement.But cold water hurts the kidneys, so it is just right to use these medicines to treat it, and it will not cause the root cause of the disease.

Liu Ya asked, "Is there any wine? It doesn't need to be too strong, but it must be grain wine."

"Yes. There is sorghum wine in the cabin of the head. I'll go get a jar." The boatman got up and left after speaking.

Liu Ya took the medicine and said to him: "I'll go back to the little grasshopper first, please bring the wine over later."

Back in the cabin, the little grasshopper was flicking the charcoal fire in the brazier and yawning from time to time.

When Liu Ya entered the room and saw him like this, she knew he was tired and sleepy.He said: "Go to sleep, I found the medicine, and I will prepare it for you to drink some later."

The little grasshopper smiled, bared his white teeth, and said, "It's all right, just wait a little longer, go to sleep after dawn."

Liu Ya knew that the little grasshopper was probably worried about whether there were any water ghosts coming.So he walked in, sat next to him, and asked: "You are so good underwater, you can hold your breath for so long, and you can fight water bandits. You are thin and small, so I almost underestimated you."

"Our ancestral skills are nothing to show off." The little grasshopper smiled shyly, sighed again, and said, "It used to be pretty good in our line of work, and there was a boatman who specially supported it. If the boat doesn't meet If we encounter a water ghost, we will solve it in a few minutes by going into the water, and the host will give us a big reward. But later, the host would rather go to worship the river god on a regular basis than support us Such a person who catches water ghosts, so my family is getting poorer and poorer, my skills are not very useful, I can only be a small laborer on the boat."

To worship the river god regularly is to willingly give benefits to the water ghosts so that they will not cause trouble.

This was originally a capable person who raised water ghosts, and could fight against evil forces.

But when they came and went, the master ran the boat to try to be safe, and didn't want to kill people or cause trouble.I don't even want to keep an idler on the boat when there is nothing to do, so it also breeds the arrogance of water bandits, and instead makes such water ghost catchers have nothing to eat.

Liu Ya also sighed, and said: "Perhaps I shouldn't have said that. Since you are being raised as a handyman on the boat, why do you have to work so hard? After all, you are still young. If you really make a mistake, you will regret it too late."

The little grasshopper smiled and said: "From the first day I learned the skills from my father, my father asked me to worship the real river god as my master. He said that we entered this business to uphold justice for the river god." , Catch and get rid of those water ghosts. If I don’t encounter this, it’s fine. I’ll be safe for the rest of my life. doing."

After hearing this, Liu Ya really didn't know whether to praise the kid for being brave or call him stupid.

But looking back, thinking about it, this kind of mentality is a person who can achieve great things, and there is nothing wrong with sticking to ideals and beliefs.

Therefore, Liu Ya gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, it's really good. If I have a boat in the future, I will invite you to my boat, okay? You can help me watch the boat and help me catch it. Water Ghost."

"Okay. Young master, you are not an ordinary person at first glance, but I am willing to follow you from the bottom of my heart." After the little grasshopper finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said: "My mother said that boys and girls must be rich and powerful. I think Mr. Liu is like this, so I conclude that you are not a dragon and phoenix among people, but you must be superior to others."

After hearing this, Liu Ya felt a sting in her heart, wondering if she should admit that she was a woman.But after another thought, there's nothing wrong with being a man, at least it's more free and easy.

The little grasshopper said again: "It's just a pity, I'm afraid it will delay your trip, Mr. Liu. After all, it's a big deal to have a water ghost, and the boat on this river has not encountered a water ghost cutting a nail for many years. Put your head on We have to turn around and report the news, to see what the owner has to say, and to see what other ships have to say."

Liu Ya said: "Just go back. Maybe I should go to Felt Village in Xiyue Prefecture."

The little grasshopper said: "Why don't you find a faster boat after you go back and take Mr. Liu there. In fact, our boats also pay attention to reputation. If we can't deliver the guests or goods on time, it will also smash the signboard." big event."

Liu Ya said: "Let's talk about it."

As soon as the words were finished, the boatman came back, followed by his head and a wine jar in his hand.

Liu Ya went over to take the jar, pulled out the stopper and smelled it. It was really high-quality sorghum wine, extremely mellow, so she put the cistanche and other medicinal materials that she had found before into it according to the proportion.
