Kuai Chuan: I don’t get along with my family’s golden finger.

"Then let's pray that the rain will stop tomorrow." The leading officer said solemnly.

Naturally, he wouldn't want to do this if he could, but if they couldn't arrive at the place of exile on time, they, the official servants, would be charged with defection just like the exiled prisoners.

By then, not only will they themselves be reduced from official duties to prisoners, but even their family members will be implicated.

Which one of these official servants has a family and a room? This trip must not be delayed.

But these thoughts were useless. After arranging the prisoners, the officials all fell asleep again, but this time everyone did not sleep peacefully.

It rained more and more as we went south, and it continued until the afternoon of the next day before gradually tapering off.

The rain has lightened up, but it shows no sign of stopping.

Seeing that the rain had subsided, the leading official immediately asked everyone to set off.

The road has long been soaked, and there is a mud puddle as soon as you step down. It is difficult for people to walk, let alone a carriage.

Uncle Chang's carriage was okay, it was pulled by two horses.

Although it is a little harder to walk, you only need to push when you encounter a deep pit. At other times, you can walk normally, just slower.

In order not to add weight to the carriage, Cao Luxia, her daughter, and Yu Mingzhou's younger brother, who was too young, stayed on the carriage. Jiang Che and the others still walked.

However, Uncle Chang was prepared to pamper his concubine. Each of them was covered with impermeable oilcloth and had a bamboo hat on their head, so there was no need to worry about getting wet by the rain.

But there is nothing I can do about my feet.

There are no waterproof rain boots at this time, so we can only step in mud and water.

Some people are reluctant to part with their shoes, and even take them off directly and walk barefoot.

Jiang Che was so disgusted that he just asked for two pieces of oilcloth to wrap his feet, and he directly used his internal strength when walking.

You don’t have to go very fast, but make sure your shoes and clothes don’t get wet.

Anyway, it's raining now, and everyone can't take care of themselves. No one has the intention to pay attention to others.

They have oilcloths and bamboo hats here, but others are not so prepared.

Even if they are prepared, most of them are used by children. Unless some adults are really in bad health, they just hold on.

There are also those who are more dexterous. They find thicker big leaves from the mountains and make a simple hat to wear, which can block some rain.

It's just that this road is really difficult to walk, and they didn't go very far after walking all afternoon.

In addition, it was raining outside and it got dark early. By the time everyone could barely see the road, we were still far away from the reserved resting place.

"Everyone, please stop and rest here tonight."

Seeing that the road was almost out of sight, the leading officer could only stop and talk to the crowd.

"One person from each family will go to the mountains on both sides to see if there is any shelter from the rain." After hearing this, other officials began to make arrangements.

Lin Jiangyuan was about to go to the Lin family, but was stopped by Jiang Che.

"I'll go and see if there are any herbs that can prevent colds." Jiang Che said to his family.

Seeing what he said, no one stopped him.

"I didn't expect that my good nephew is not only proficient in knitting and cooking, but also in medical skills." Yu Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion after watching Jiang Che leave.

"My youngest son has been smart since he was a child, but unfortunately he didn't focus on his studies. Later, he became a disciple of an expert and learned a lot of skills." Lin Ji was not modest when someone praised his youngest son. It was followed by praise together.

"No wonder my nephew knows so many things at such a young age. It turns out he was taught by an expert." Yu Liu was naturally surprised when he heard the news for the first time.

Not only him, but also Yu Mingzhou was also very surprised.

As classmates, he and Lin Jiangche had stayed in the same private school for several years. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they still knew each other somewhat.

Before, I only knew that this young master of the Lin family was not doing his job and preferred to study things that had nothing to do with his studies. I didn't expect that he actually had a teacher.

Although Lin Ji was a concubine of the Lin family, he was from the Lin family and still had some experience.

Even he is said to be an expert, so it must not be simple.

Jiang Che didn't know that his father had already revealed the existence of the Puppet Master. He was currently searching carefully for usable herbs in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, the environment here is good, and not many people come to the mountains. You can find a lot of medicinal materials without going deep into the mountains.

There is a lot of wild ginger and some Bupleurum, Kudzu, etc.

Bupleurum and kudzu root are too late to prepare, but if they are boiled in water, they will have some effect.

Not to mention there is wild ginger. Ginger has the effect of repelling cold and causing sweating, but this wild ginger has even better effect.

After digging some of various things, Jiang Che jogged all the way back to the foot of the mountain.

As for your martial arts skills, it's better not to expose it unless necessary.

After all, he is still a prisoner in exile. If the officials knew that his family knew martial arts, although it wouldn't be a big deal, they would definitely be wary.

It took a lot of effort to build a good relationship with these officials, but Jiang Che didn't want it to be ruined just because of such a trivial matter.

"Master, I found that there are a lot of wild gingers on the mountain, as well as some medicinal materials that can prevent wind and cold." As soon as he saw the leading official, Jiang Che held the things in his hands and said loudly.

"Have you discovered the wild ginger?" When the official heard this, he immediately walked to Jiang Che and asked excitedly.

"Well, there are quite a few on the mountain over there, which should be enough for us. Also, here are Bupleurum and Kudzu root, both of which can prevent wind and cold. Later, people will go to the mountain to dig some and cook them in a big pot. Everyone Drinking a bowl of it will not guarantee that everyone will not get sick, but those who are in better health will still be fine."

Jiang Che handed over the wild ginger and explained the functions of Bupleurum and Kudzu.

"This is great. I'll ask someone to dig in the mountains with you, and we'll make a fire and cook the medicine when we get back." The leading officer said without hesitation.

Not to mention him, other officials and the prisoners around him were also very happy when they heard this.

After walking all afternoon in the rain, many people were already shivering from the cold.

Many people are worried that they will fall ill from the cold and be abandoned.

But now that I heard that there are wild ginger and medicinal materials, everyone can't sit still.

Many of the exiled people were well-informed and had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Naturally, they knew the effects of Bupleurum and Pueraria lobata, and they all expressed that they wanted to dig up medicinal materials.

"Okay, we don't need so many people, just ten people who are quick and agile will be enough. The others will fetch water, find firewood, and make a fire. Once the medicinal materials are dug out, they can cook them directly." Seeing how noisy these people were, the leading official spoke. .

With his assignment, everyone got busy.

When it comes to your own life, everyone must be diligent.

I don't know if they were lucky, but when they found a way to collect a large pot of water, found firewood, and were about to find a sheltered place to light a fire, the rain stopped.
