"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen," the doctor bowed after coming in.

"Get up first, no need to be polite." Yuan Xichen waved his hand, his face pale.

After the doctor got up, he immediately took out the disinfectant, cleaned the wound first, and then sprinkled the best medicine on it.

He then carefully bandaged the wound with gauze and took Yuan Xichen's pulse, discovering that his internal injuries were somewhat serious.

He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down again. His action also scared a young girl wearing a pearl hairpin on her head next to him.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Prince Chen?" the young girl anxiously asked the doctor kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, after taking your pulse just now, I found that you have serious internal injuries. You really need to be cured. You need a 500-year-old ginseng. I'm afraid I can't do anything," the doctor replied nervously.

"Master, rest assured. I will go find a doctor for you right away. No matter how much it costs, I will buy the ginseng. I will definitely cure your internal injuries." Chen Yi asked someone to take the doctor away, and arranged for the young woman to go out and find another doctor. Then he knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together and said to Yuan Xichen.

"It may be difficult to find ginseng that is five hundred years old. You should take a rest first and heal your wound. Send a few more people to the surrounding mountains to see if we can find ginseng." Yuan Xichen's pale face looked much better after his wound was bandaged.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Yi said and left. Yuan Xichen also took off the jade crown on his head and lay down to rest.

At one quarter past the hour of Mao, in Shuihe Village.

"Qingshu, Qingshu, are you up yet?" Before Yu Qingqing got up, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come on, who's looking for me?" Yu Qingshu also heard the voice and came out to open the door.

When he saw that it was the village chief knocking on the door, he was suddenly a little ecstatic. The village chief never came to see him usually, so he was quite happy to be visited by the village chief personally.

"Village chief, what's wrong? Is there anything?" Yu Qingshu quickly came back to his senses and asked happily.

"It's like this, Qinghe! Yesterday, all the hunters in the village came to me and wanted to ask you for help. Didn't you kill a wild boar last time? Seeing that life is getting harder and harder, we have to flee the famine soon.

So I would like to ask you to bring the hunters in the village to Qinglv Mountain again to see if we can get something. I know this request is not very nice, but I still want to tell you, see if you can help."

After Village Chief He Qiang finished speaking, he felt his face turn red. It was so embarrassing. Why would others be willing to help him?

"Village chief, are you talking about asking my father to take people hunting?" Before Yu Qingshu could answer, Yu Qingqing came out and asked Village Chief He Qiang.

"But it's very dangerous in the deep mountains. If my father takes people in, and something happens to someone, won't they all look for my father?" Yu Qingqing continued to ask.

"Yes, Village Chief, I am just an ordinary hunter. I can barely protect myself. If I bring so many people, I can't guarantee that everyone will come back safely." Yu Qingshu also said.

"Brother Yu, don't worry. If something really happens, I won't look for you. Just take us there with peace of mind."

"Yes, Brother Yu's family is really struggling to make ends meet, otherwise they wouldn't have the nerve to come to you. We were all so envious of you when you killed a wild boar last time."

"Yes! Brother Yu, don't worry, even if there are no wild boars, other prey will do. Food is getting more and more expensive recently. If we really want to flee from famine, we will have nothing. Isn't that life-threatening?"

Before Yu Qingshu could answer, several hunters from the village suddenly came to his doorstep and started complaining.

Yu Qingshu was also a little soft-hearted. It was not easy for everyone. We should help each other in difficult times. The more people there are, the greater the risk, but if you want to eat, you have to risk your life.

"Village chief, how about this? I can take the people with me, but I'm not responsible for their safety. If we kill a wild boar, we can share the spoils equally.

But there are too many people this time, so we can’t stay overnight at the Youth Hostel, so we’ll walk faster and try to get back before dark.”

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll listen to you all. Did you all hear it? You must listen to Qinghai when you go there. If I find out that any of you act on your own, then don't come to me if you have any problems." Village Chief He Qiang said "Okay" several times in a row and then gave serious instructions to the hunters.

"Don't worry, village chief, we will listen to Brother Yu." The rough men all smiled and answered loudly.

"Dad, I want to go too. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Yu Qingqing also began to persuade Yu Qingshu.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, I plan to look for more herbs," Yu Qingqing added.

"Okay, Qing'er, you must protect yourself first." Yu Qingshu didn't think too much about it. With more people around this time, his daughter would be safer, so he didn't try to stop her.

Soon the others dispersed, Hua Qinglu brought breakfast to the table, and everyone started eating breakfast.

After eating, Yu Qingshu packed up his things and took Yu Qingqing to the village entrance to meet the hunters.

"Brother Yu, we are here. We can set off now. Everything is ready." Yu Qingqing looked towards the source of the voice and saw five hunters at the entrance of the village, all holding their hunting equipment.

A total of seven people went out in a mighty procession to Qinglv Mountain. Because Yu Qingqing had been drinking spiritual spring water recently, she found that her and her family's physical fitness had improved. She was basically able to keep up with the pace, and it did take a little less time to reach the foot of the mountain than the last time.

"Qing'er, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Yu Qingshu looked at his daughter and couldn't help but feel distressed. She should have been the pampered girl at home, but now she has to run around for a living. Yu Qingshu felt a little guilty.

"Dad is fine, don't worry, we have to hurry up." Yu Qingqing felt that she could still do it if she gritted her teeth, and she would have to pay more attention to physical exercise in the future.

"Okay, then let's slow down a bit and not rest for the time being. Qing'er, if you can't hold on, you must tell daddy, don't try to be stubborn." Yu Qingshu continued walking after saying this, looking at the situation nearby as he walked.

I found that Qinglv Mountain was more desolate than the last time I came here, and the grass on the ground was more withered and yellow.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Qing'er, we should make preparations later. It depends on the village chief to discuss a plan and decide where to go." Yu Qingshu said to his daughter as they walked.

"Yes, Dad, this place is more desolate than last time. These trees and grass can be burned at the slightest touch. I guess all the animals have run away to the mountains."
