Chapter 107: Big Brother is here to check up.
Chapter 107
Zhi Xia was naturally extremely grateful.
Considering that the other person was a divine physician, she thought they must have a preference for herbs.
Although she didn't have much else, she had plenty of medicinal herbs in her space. If necessary, she could even grow them herself.
She couldn't bear to part with the thousand-year-old ginseng, but there were countless hundred-year-old ginseng roots, and there were even many that were only several decades old. They grew not only in the medicinal field but also on the mountainside.
With this in mind, Zhi Xia suddenly realized that her grandparents were not young anymore, and she also wanted to leave some ginseng for them. However, she didn't dare to let them consume it indiscriminately, and she couldn't explain where she got these things from.
After much deliberation, she decided not to reveal this bottom line.
Zhi Xia quickly plucked several decades-old ginseng roots and two hundred-year-old ones, and sent them all over.
Rich Lady Nian: "Sister, can I ask you for another favor? There are several elderly people in my family, probably in their sixties or seventies. Is there any suitable medicine for them to improve their health?"
The ginseng roots showed that the message was received, but there was no response from the other side.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhi Xia prepared some stored food and ate while waiting.
A few minutes later, the divine physician sister replied, "I can make some ginseng nourishing pills for you. Can you be more specific about how many elderly people there are and their physical conditions?"
Zhi Xia thought for a moment. Elder Pei was about the same age as her grandparents. Grandma's health was relatively good, but Grandpa and Elder Pei had suffered many hidden injuries from their days in the war and would feel uncomfortable when it was cloudy or rainy.
After explaining these conditions, she asked, "Is that enough? I have some other medicinal ingredients here. Do we need to combine them?"
The divine physician sister asked, "Sister, what else do you have?"
The reason she hadn't replied for such a long time was that she was examining those ginseng roots. They looked freshly dug up, with the soil still slightly moist, but their quality was excellent. She had studied medicine since childhood and learned from the Valley of the King of Medicine, but she had never seen such high-quality medicinal herbs before.
Rich Lady Nian: "I have many. I have a large medicinal field filled with various herbs. Just let me know what you need."
The divine physician sister listed more than ten types all at once. Fortunately, Zhi Xia had complete control over her space and could quickly identify any herb within a certain range just by thinking about it.
The divine physician sister was extremely excited. As a healer, nothing made her happier than having good-quality medicinal herbs.
The divine physician sister said, "Sister, have you ever considered selling herbs? I can buy them from you with gold, silver, and precious gems."
She had the entire backing of the Valley of the King of Medicine, so if she wanted to purchase medicinal herbs, she would definitely need a large quantity.
Rich Lady Nian: "Of course, if you need them, you can come to me. If the quantity is too large, you can let me know in advance, and I can help you grow them."
After all, her space had a fast growth rate. What could be grown in a year would probably mature in less than a month.
After ending the conversation, Zhi Xia received two boxes of gold and silver as additional rewards.
After quickly finishing her meal, she began managing her own space.
The once vast fertile land has now been divided into several parts. One part continues to grow grains, which are meant for the post-apocalyptic era. Another part is dedicated to growing vegetables for the insect race, and now there is a need to allocate a portion for cultivating medicinal herbs.
Zhi Xia hadn't entered the space for several days, but she didn't find it tiring to tend to it. She resumed developing the fields using her consciousness.
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside, and Zhi Xia startled and exited the space.
The sky had already turned completely dark, especially her eyes, which went from bright to pitch black, leaving her unable to see anything.
Standing there, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, Zhi Xia could vaguely make out the interior of the room under the moonlight. She walked over and turned on the light.
The dim yellow light illuminated the room as she opened the door. The knocking sound from outside continued, and the voice of An Zhiqing came from outside, "Zhi Xia, are you asleep?"
"I'm here." Zhi Xia opened the door and looked at An Zhiqing, whose hair was dampened by dew. "Big brother, why did you come at this hour?"
"I just ran into Feng Xia and she said you haven't had dinner. What's going on?" An Zhiqing expressed his concern. "Are you not in the mood to cook alone? Did you not go to the canteen either? If that's the case, I can bring you some food tomorrow. With Pei Jing away, it's worrisome to leave you alone."
Zhi Xia frowned, "No, I've already eaten. Feng Xia must have made a mistake. I ate a long time ago and was just about to go to bed after closing the door."
She could only apologize to Feng Xia. If she claimed that she hadn't eaten, her big brother would be even more worried. Besides, she indeed had a meal. "I ate in my room. Maybe Feng Xia didn't see it and thought I hadn't eaten."
"That's not right. Feng Xia said you locked yourself in the room as soon as Pei Jing left and didn't open the door or go to the canteen. There was no smoke coming from the house either." An Zhiqing was afraid that Zhi Xia might be lying out of laziness, but he couldn't let this young lady out of his sight. After all, she had two bodies, and there couldn't be any mishaps.
"I really ate. If you don't believe me, wait for me." Zhi Xia returned to her room and quickly took out the bowl and chopsticks she used for dinner from the space. Fortunately, she had been busy and hadn't had time to wash them yet.
An Zhiqing's face looked somewhat embarrassed. "Then maybe I misheard. By the way, are you afraid of sleeping alone at home?"
Zhi Xia truly wasn't afraid. She particularly enjoyed being alone at home.
After all, when Pei Jing was around, she didn't dare to enter the space. But when he was gone, she could stay in the comfortable space with a suitable temperature, chat with people, explore every corner of the space using her consciousness, and even when she was hungry, she didn't need to cook as there was food and drink in the space. Not to mention the various fruits in the space; it couldn't be more comfortable.
After finally sending An Zhiqing away, Zhi Xia closed the door and suddenly burst into laughter.
It's really nice to be cared for by someone.
It turned out that she was also someone who received care.
But her big brother sure was talkative, endlessly chattering without end.
Zhi Xia suddenly thought, it would be great if Fourth Brother was here too. He would definitely be even more talkative than her big brother.
And when he joined the army, surely he would send letters home, and he would definitely write to her. But she was no longer in Jin City, so she wouldn't receive his letters.
No, she had to go tomorrow to send a letter to her family. If she received Fourth Brother's letter and had Third Brother help forward it to her, because she didn't have Fourth Brother's specific address yet, she could only receive his letter first to confirm the address before she could send him a letter.
Also, if he knew that she had married shortly after he left, would he blame her for not telling him? Would he be angry with her?
