“Blessing? In this era and age, do such feudal superstitions exist?”
Mo Jinrong retracted his hand angrily and glanced at Lan Tingyun.
“What feudal superstitions? I got someone qualified to calculate this.”
Zhao Xiumei was anxious. She was clearly being nice, how was it feudalistic?
“That’s enough Mom. Jinrong, we’re doing this for Tingyun’s sake. Tell them and persuade them.”
Xu Yanshan smiled, looking at Mo Jinrong like he was her prey.
Mo Jinrong glanced back at Mo San and said, “Mo San, it’s too noisy here, chase them out!”
Mo San wanted to pull them away as he heard the order.
“Mo Jinrong, you…”
Xu Yanshan hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiumei.
“Mom! Don’t be angry, he is our future son-in-law,” Xu Yanshan muttered softly.
Zhao Xiumei held her anger in silence.
“We’re leaving, remember to come for the birthday party!”
Xu Yanshan dragged Zhao Xiumei away noisily.
Mo Jinrong asked curiously, when he saw no sign of Lan Anran, “Where is Anran?”
“Sis heard that there is a medicine that can cure Dad’s illness. She went to look for it, but I’m not sure if she can find it.”
Lan Yanran was a little worried. The mountain that the Doctor had told Lan Anran about was the Blind Mountain. It was called the Blind Mountain because of the frequent mist surrounding it. The Blind Mountain has a very low visibility, so he didn’t know if Lan Anran would be able to return safely.
“Brother-in-law, help me look after Dad first, I’ll see how Mom is doing.”
Lan Yanran felt uncomfortable when he saw his parents fall ill. He couldn’t split himself in two and since his father’s condition was stable, he had to visit his mother.
Mo Jinrong nodded.
“Young Master, Miss Lan is taking risks again.”
Mo San was worried.
Mo Jinrong called Lan Anran, but she didn’t pick up. He was also a little worried.
On the mountain.
This time, Lan Anran didn’t bring Xu Shan’s favorite roast goose and liquor. She didn’t care about these things and directly went up the mountain.
‘When she arrived at the top of the mountain sweating profusely, Xu Shan happened to be carrying a basket.
“Goodness! What happened to you?”
Xu Shan hurriedly put down his things and looked at Lan Anran.
“Master, do you have any Divine Incense?” Lan Anran asked breathlessly.
Xu Shan frowned and asked, “Why do you want that? Divine Incense is very effective, but it is very poisonous. You might end up dying if you aren’t careful.”
“I will control its strength. Master, tell me, where is it?”
Lan Anran looked anxious.
Xu Shan walked to the backyard and looked at the courtyard full of precious herbs. He searched carefully and frowned.
“There are many people in the village that have come to ask for medicine. There is still one last stalk of the Divine Incense left!”
Xu Shan walked to a corner and pointed to a piece of blue grass.
“Fortunately! I only want its seed!”
Lan Anran was extremely excited, her father could be saved.
Xu Shan plucked all the seeds and handed them to Lan Anran.
“Master, how many seeds should I use? There’s a clot in my father’s brain and I’m afraid the quantity I use won’t be accurate. Master, help me!”
Lan Anran seemed a little agitated.
“anran, calm down first. Did you bring the medicine?”
Xu Shan stabilized Lan Anran and asked her the question.
Lan Anran hurriedly took out the tube of medicine and handed it to Xu Shan.
“Time was tight, I didn’t have time to make the full medicine, only the herb juice. My dad got better after drinking it, but he suddenly went into shock and was just about saved.”
Xu Shan took the herb juice into the house and placed the herb into the medicine bottle to process and extract it.
Lan Anran watched from the side. She could only wait.
Suddenly, there seemed to be someone on the mountain and a woman’s voice came from the door.
“Old Man! I’m here!”
Sun Hui climbed up, panting. Every time she came, she would have to climb for an hour because she didn’t have money to take the cable car, so she rarely came over.
Xu Shan was focused on extracting medicine. Grass was harder to use than any other herb, especially the Divine Incense. The diameter of the herb was less than 3mm and the ingredients inside were very little. Fortunately, there were about a hundred seeds from the Divine Incense, which was enough for
Xu Shan to extract from.
“Anran, what are you doing here? You didn’t go to school or apply for leave, I was worried.”
Sun Hui was surprised.
“My dad is sick, I have to take care of him.”
Lan Anran forced a smile.
“Lan Yaxin is so evil! What are you doing?”
Sun Hui stared curiously at the bottles and jars that Xu Shan hadn’t touched in a long time. There were different bubbles of different colors inside.
Ever since she came here, she had never seen Xu Shan make anything, It was really strange today. This should be seen in chemistry class. She didn’t expect Xu Shan to know it as well.
“We’re extracting medicine. Sun Hui, take a look. This is the extraction method for the Divine Incense. Youll get to see it today.”
Xu Shan spoke as he worked seriously.
“Divine Incense? Old man, you haven’t taught me this before. You can’t be biased!”
Sun Hui was curious and exclaimed.
In the past few days, she had been picking herbs at the foot of Mount Xu and knew a lot of things, but she didn’t know about the Divine Incense.
Xu Shan didn’t speak, but picked up a cup, took a small drop of yellow liquid from the distillery at the side, and poured it into the herbal juice.
“Anran, if you have time, it would be better to change it to a Chinese medicine soup. Although the juice is the fastest method, but every medicine is toxic, this juice is more than 30% toxic. I have extracted the essence, you can use it, but you’ll have to try, in case…”
Before Xu Shan finished speaking, Lan Anran took a sip.
“You child! How could you drink this medicine? I just said that medicine has 30% toxicity. What if something happens to you?”
Xu Shan lectured.
“I’s alright, Master. If I drink it, I will be alright and so Dad will definitely be alright as well. Don’t worry, my health is good. I can’t give him the medicine that is problematic.”
Lan Anran wiped her mouth and smiled.
“Anran, you’re so silly!”
Sun Hui was a little sympathetic.
Lan Anran smiled. She was quite silly.
In her past life, she was instigated by bad people and caused the death of her parents. If anything happened to her this time, she would treat it as returning her life to her parents and the hatred in her past life would be resolved.
After two minutes, Lan Anran didn’t have any reactions. She thought that everything should be alright and hurriedly kept the reagents in her bag before turning to leave.
“Anran, wait a moment. How long has it been? What if something happens?”
Xu Shan hurriedly pulled her back. It took time for the medicine to react and it wouldn’t work in just a few minutes.
“Anran, wait a while longer, we can’t take the risk.”
Sun Hui persuaded.
Lan Anran thought about it and decided not to take the medicine recklessly. She sat down quietly.
“Anran, I remember you telling me that you resented your parents for sending you to the countryside and ignoring you. I’m really glad to see you worrying about your parents now.”
Xu Shan thought about how Lan Anran wasn’t like this in the past. She was arrogant and didn’t like to interact with others. She didn’t have many friends since she was a child and was always icy cold to others. She wasn’t like that anymore..
