Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Next are life-saving medicines. Medicines are rare resources everywhere, let alone in ancient times when supplies were scarce.

Duke Weiguo was a military general. Perhaps because he had experienced many wars, he had always been consciously collecting medicines.

Whether it is Panax notoginseng for stopping bleeding, or Forsythia suspensa for clearing away heat and detoxifying, or even high-grade medicinal materials such as ginseng, including already refined medicinal powders, they can all be found here.

What made Shi Anan happiest was that these medicinal herbs were all packed in the same type of boxes, probably for the convenience of transportation, which now made it convenient for her.

There were not only finished medicinal herbs, but also some medicinal seeds and crop seeds, which she put together and collected.

After collecting the medicinal herbs, she saw some iron products. There were not many of these iron products in the warehouse. Most of them were farm tools such as kitchen knives, hatchets, hoes, etc. There were also swords, spears and bows, but the quality did not look very good.

Come to think of it, if it was a precious sword or a knife, it wouldn't be so casually piled in a box with a bunch of farm tools.

But Shi Anan was not picky. She thought it was good enough to have one. With a thought, several boxes of iron products disappeared from the spot.

So far, all eight grids have been filled. Shi Anan plans to leave two empty grids as backup to fill them with fresh vegetables and meat later. These fresh things cannot be kept for long, so there is no stock in the warehouse.

There is also oil. Since she came here, all the dishes she has eaten are made with animal oil. She doesn't know whether the people here don't like vegetable oil or they just don't know how to make it.

There was one grid left, and she put the boxes filled with silver and gold from the warehouse, as well as some high-quality jade, jewelry and other rare treasures, into the box.

As the saying goes, gold is valuable in troubled times. Although she doesn't know whether gold will still be valuable after this apocalypse, it won't be a loss for her to keep these things. If she really can't make money, she can melt them down and make jewelry.

When she passed by the room of the Prince of Weiguo before leaving, she also saved the exquisite handicrafts in the room. It would be a pity to destroy such fine handicrafts.

When Shi Anan returned to Xuezhuyuan, it was already late at night. She was extremely tired. It had taken her a lot of effort just to pack all the cloths today. After a quick wash, she fell asleep.

The next day, it was another sunny day. Fu Xin came to Xuezhuyuan full of energy. Why didn’t I see the young lady making any summoning gestures today?

"Miss! Miss! Are you awake? I'm coming in." Fu Xin gently pushed open the door of the room, and saw a person wrapped like a silkworm cocoon and still motionless on the bed with the curtains hanging down.

Worried that Shi Anan was sick again from exhaustion from searching for the secret passage yesterday, Fu Xin put down the breakfast in her hand, hurried to the bed, lifted the curtain, and forcefully pried open the quilt covering Shi Anan's head to check on her condition.

"Hmm - I'm so sleepy, stop disturbing me." Shi Anan was awakened by Fu Xin's movements and the light outside, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Miss, are you feeling unwell again? Do you want me to tell Aunt Liu and ask the court doctor to come and take a look?" Fu Xin said worriedly.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable. Don't go looking for my aunt. I'm just sleepy. Let me sleep for a while." Shi Anan grabbed the quilt and covered her head with it, then fell asleep again.

Fu Xin sighed helplessly, took her breakfast and went out again, deciding that if the young lady was still like this at noon, she would go find Aunt Liu.

The room soon became quiet. Shi Anan slept until almost noon. If she woke up a little later, Fu Xin would really not be able to help but call for help.

"Miss, did you go out to steal last night? How come you still have such dark circles under your eyes after sleeping for so long?" Fu Xin said to Shi Anan while she was serving her lunch.

Shi Anan paused while eating and almost choked. Wasn’t she a thief last night?

"Well, I was so excited about finding the secret passage yesterday that I couldn't sleep last night. I'll be fine tomorrow." Shi Anan made an excuse.

"Oh... But Miss, you can't go to that secret passage again, it's very dangerous." Fu Xin emphasized, fearing that her own troublesome young lady would run to the next door again. Others wanted to stay as far away from it as possible, but why did her own young lady want to get close to it?

"I know, I know. Xiao Fuxing, you are such a good housekeeper." She had already collected the things over there last night. Although there were still many things to collect, her backpack was only this big.

If she went there again, she could do nothing but feel sad to see those supplies being wasted. It would be better to just turn a blind eye and not go there again.

"Fu Xin is originally the young lady's housekeeper."

"By the way, Miss, Madam sent a message saying that we will go to Ciguang Temple tomorrow to pray for the sick old lady, and we will take the younger generations in the mansion with us. But since you have just recovered from your illness, Madam said that this time you can freely choose whether to go or not. Will you go?" Fu Xin asked, but in her heart she was thinking that Madam's words and deeds seemed to be considering Miss, but in fact she didn't take Miss to heart at all.

So when the younger generations in the family went together to pray for the old lady, she thought it didn't matter whether the young lady was present or not. Doesn't this mean that she thinks the young lady is not important?

This old lady was the grandmother of the original owner. However, this old lady was born in a farming family and had a very strong patriarchal ideology. Except for her beloved son and grandson, she discriminated against every female member in the mansion. Even the eldest sister born by marriage could not get much favor from her, not to mention the original owner's concubine's daughter who was not favored to begin with.

It is said that the old lady fell ill this time because the weather was too cold. When she went to Ciguang Temple to burn incense, the cold air accidentally entered her body and she caught a cold.

I guess it’s because I’m old. I haven’t recovered from a minor cold for almost a month. Until now, I’m still lying in bed sighing and complaining about the discomfort.

Although Shi Zhengde was a man who lived off his mother, he was also extremely filial and would visit his mother every day after going to and from court.

I don't know if it's because the old lady has been ill for too long that she has become inexplicably superstitious. Usually, she would go to Ciguang Temple to pray and burn incense almost every half a month. This time, she hasn't been there for almost a month because of her illness. She wondered if she wasn't sincere enough and made the Bodhisattva angry, so her illness didn't get better.

So when Shi Zhengde came down from court one day to see her, she asked her son to go to Ciguang Temple to pray and burn incense in order to seek forgiveness on her behalf. However, Shi Zhengde, who had to go to court every day, had no time to pray, so this task naturally fell on Fang.

The old lady didn't care who went. She just thought that it would appear more sincere if her son went instead of her. However, it was indeed a problem for her son to go to court, so she agreed to Fang's plan to go in her place, but asked Fang to bring some younger generations with her so that she could show her importance.

When Shi Anan heard this, she was speechless about this superstitious old lady. But no matter what, with this incident, she had a legitimate reason to leave the house, so she took this opportunity to go shopping.

Thinking of this, Shi Anan replied: "Of course I have to go. I'm almost bored to death in the mansion."

Fu Xin nodded and agreed: "Then I will tell the messenger that we will go together."

After finishing her meal, Shi Anan didn't plan to take a nap because she had slept for a long time in the morning and wasn't sleepy. She wanted to go see Aunt Beauty, but when she thought that if she didn't take a nap at this time, she guessed that Aunt Beauty would also need to take a nap.

It was late in the afternoon and she had nothing to do, so she decided to research how to unlock this skill.

First of all, it's medical skills. She doesn't have any medical skills, but she knows simple bandaging. However, no one with external injuries will come to her for bandaging now, so she probably has to wait until later to unlock this skill.

Cooking is relatively simple, she can cook, and she is pretty good at it. But her yard is not equipped with a kitchen, and her meals are brought to the big kitchen by Fu Xin every day. She has no ingredients, no pots, and no stoves, so she can't cook.

There is a small kitchen in the beautiful aunt's yard, but I can only borrow it from there one day.

As for agriculture, I wonder if there are any bamboo shoots to dig in the bamboo forest outside her yard. Digging bamboo shoots counts as gathering, right? Can gathering activate agricultural skills?

She did it right away. She turned around, changed into a light outfit, called Fu Xin to get the backpack and a small hoe, and ran to the bamboo forest. Here came the little girl picking bamboo shoots.

Fu Xin gradually got used to Shi Anan's restless style every day. She took the things and followed him to the bamboo forest.

"Miss, please slow down. There may be snakes in this bamboo forest." Fu Xin looked around vigilantly. She had heard that last summer, Aunt Bai wanted to come here for a walk, and a bamboo pit viper suddenly appeared. If Aunt Bai's maid had not reacted quickly, Aunt Bai would have been bitten. Since then, many people dared not to come to this bamboo forest.

"The weather is so cold, the snakes are still hibernating." When it comes to experience in surviving in the wild, this little girl Fu Xin is quite inexperienced.

After saying that, Shi Anan stopped chatting with Fu Xin. She found a bamboo shoot that was just beginning to emerge and started digging it up.
