Chapter 78 Hot Springs
Looking at the misty water in the distance, Shen Yiyi was extremely excited.
He threw the herbs in his hand directly into Shang Zhanbai's basket and rushed over with big strides.
Shang Zhanchen, Jiang Zuo and others followed closely behind, quickly catching up, leaving Shang Zhanbai standing there in confusion.
"……………………"
It's just seeing a hot spring, there's no need to be so happy.
Although he was suspicious, he still chased after him, taking one step forward and one step back.
The hot spring seemed to be not far away, but by the time they got there, it still took them half an hour.
Others were fine, but Shen Yiyi didn't know any martial arts. By the time she ran up to him, she was already out of breath.
However, looking at the hot spring in front of me, I was still so excited. I walked to the stream and squatted down.
He tentatively reached his hand into the water, and as soon as it touched the surface, he quickly pulled it back.
"It's still quite hot." She turned around and looked at Shang Zhanchen, Jiang Zuo and others with a smile.
When I came here before, I was worried that it was just an ordinary hot spring. Even if I found hot animals or plants, the medicinal effect would not be that great.
After testing the water temperature, she was given a big surprise.
This is not a hot spring, it's hot to the touch, this is a real hot spring.
If we can find animals or plants around here, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely be good.
Looking at such a large hot spring, I felt relieved.
At least we can find one or two animals or plants with heat properties, then Xiaoguai's ice and fire poison can be cured.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She was so excited that she stood up, hooked her arms around Shang Zhanchen's neck, and laughed happily.
"Xiaoguai, there's hope that your ice and fire poison will be cured, hahahaha......"
She laughed with her neck tilted back and stamped her feet from time to time. This guy is pretty lucky.
“……………………”Shang Zhanbai opened his mouth in shock.
Seeing the Third Brother letting his Third Sister-in-law hold his neck like that completely shattered his three views.
Is this still his third brother who is not interested in women? Or is he blind?
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen frowned.
Although he no longer objected to this woman's touch, he still felt a little uncomfortable with her hooking his neck.
He was about to pry his hands apart, but when he saw his fifth brother's surprised look, he not only failed to pry Shen Yiyi's hands apart.
He naturally put his arms around her slender waist, raised the corners of his lips, and stared at her straight.
The intimate actions of the two, coupled with the happy gazes they gave each other, made them look like a newlywed couple.
This made Shang Zhanbai dumbfounded.
"……………………"
The third brother not only hugged the third wife, but also smiled at her.
Having grown up with his third brother, he was too lazy to even look at women, let alone have any contact with them.
It was incredible that he could hug the Third Emperor's wife and smile at her at this moment.
Seeing his fifth brother shocked like a fool, Shang Zhanchen felt extremely proud.
However, he still pried Shen Yiyi's hand apart and pointed to the hot spring in front of him.
"So what should we do now?" He took another step back.
He distanced himself from Shen Yiyi without being noticed, as she had just hugged him so tightly.
He felt very hot all over, and being able to hold on until now was already his limit.
Shen Yiyi did not notice the change in the man's mood. After hearing what he said, she smiled and pointed around the hot spring.
"Let's look for living plants or animals around here now, and then......"
Before Shen Yiyi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shang Zhanbai who had come to his senses.
"It's so hot here, how can there be plants and animals?"
Shang Zhanbai came up and pointed to the dry area in front of him as he spoke.
Perhaps because of the hot springs here, the grass nearby has long dried up, and even the surrounding hillsides are bare.
The ground is so hot that your feet feel hot when you step on it. How can any plants survive on it, let alone animals?
Seeing Shang Zhanbai lifting his feet continuously, Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes at him with disdain.
"You haven't even looked for it, how do you know if it's there?" Then she rolled her eyes at him.
With this guy's brain, he still wants to dream of learning medicine. If he really learns it, even a fool can learn it.
Although the Third Princess said nothing, Shang Zhanbai could sense that she was not thinking well.
He picked up a handful of weeds beside him and handed them to Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction.
"The grass is so dry, how could there still be......"
Shang Zhanbai stopped talking halfway and stared at the dry grass in his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, he pinched it with his hands again, and when he saw plenty of moisture among the dry grass, his mouth opened in surprise.
“This grass is actually alive!”
Afraid that he had seen it wrong, he grabbed a handful of dry grass and pinched it one by one.
That’s right, there is plenty of juice inside each piece of dead grass, it is not dead as it looks on the surface.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi’s eyes lit up.
He snatched the dry grass from Shang Zhanbai's hand and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the wider his smile became.
"It's true, this grass is really alive!"
After saying that, he looked into the distance again. There were quite a lot of grass like this. He then looked at his feet that were burning hot.
To be able to survive in such high temperatures, one can imagine how heat-resistant this wild grass must be.
"Miss, is this kind of grass okay?" Jiang Zuo looked excited.
He also handed the dry grass in his hand to Shen Yiyi. There were so many of this kind of grass here.
It would be great if the master could use it, although Han Chun didn't say anything.
But it was the same as what Jiang Zuo thought. If this grass could be used as medicine, there would be hope for curing the master's illness.
“……………………”Shen Yiyi didn’t say a word.
Instead, he put the dry grass into his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if he was eating something delicious.
After a while, he spit it out with a frown, and then grinned again.
"Yes, it would be even better if we could find any living creatures nearby."
As she spoke, she pointed to the scorched earth in front of her, where she had just tasted the dead grass.
The heat is quite strong. Since the plant is so hot, if we can find one or two animals, the medicinal effect will be better.
When the time comes, it will be used to remove the cold poison from Xiaodai's body, and the effect will be better.
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Jiang Zuo and Han Chun both showed ecstasy on their faces.
"Then let's split up and look for them!"
Having said that, he put down the basket on his back, endured the burning heat on the soles of his feet, and began to search on the scorched earth in front of him.
Shang Zhanchen and Shen Yiyi were not idle either, and began to search around.
But there was nothing to be found. Apart from the grass we just saw, we didn't find any other plants, let alone any living creatures.
