The medicine boy looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Miss, there is, but the Snow Herb is very expensive. You…”

Su Xiaolu’s clothes were too ordinary. She did not look like someone who could take out a few hundred taels to buy good medicine.

Su Xiaolu took out the banknotes.

Seeing that she was really rich, the medicine boy smiled warmly and said, “In that case, please come to the back hall.”

The Snow Herb was expensive, so it was naturally stored more carefully.

Su Xiaolu followed. The back hall was quiet. The medicine boy asked Su Xiaolu to wait for a while before going to get the medicine.

The Snow Herb was similar to precious items like ginseng and lingzhi. It prolongs one’s life and could also be used to make emergency life-saving medicine. Therefore, it was especially expensive.

The medicine boy had to tell the physician about it before he brought the medicine to see Su Xiaolu. The medicine boy smiled and said, “Miss, we currently have two stalks of Snow Herb. They’re both hundred-year-old Snow Herbs. Each stalk costs 1,000 taels of silver. The seeds of the Snow Herb are sold by grain. Each grain costs 10 taels of silver. How much do you want?”

Su Xiaolu took out the banknotes and said, “I want both Snow Herbs. Give me ten seeds.”

Coincidentally, she had taken 4,900 taels from Qinglian Monastery previously. The banknotes were 100 taels each.

Su Xiaolu counted 21 banknotes.

The medicine boy took it over to check if it was real. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed the medicine to Su Xiaolu and counted the seeds in front of her.

The seeds of the Snow Herb were very small. Ten seeds were not even the size of a peanut. Su Xiaolu kept them in her arms and actually placed them in her space. Such expensive seeds could be lost if she was not careful.

It was safer to leave it in the space.

“Take care, Miss.”

The medicine boy was very respectful and sent Su Xiaolu out.

Such a young lady could easily take out a few thousand taels. In the entire Furongzhou, it was rare to see such a generous young lady.

Su Xiaolu came out of the back hall and happened to see a doctor returning from outside. He returned to the pharmacy with the first aid kit.

Su Xiaolu subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth and nose.

“Dr. Hong is back.”

The little medicine boy greeted him respectfully and went forward to help the doctor carry the first aid kit.

Hong Zheng nodded and walked towards the empty seats. The customers quickly queued up.

Su Xiaolu walked out of Ji Shi Hall. There was still a faint strange smell at the tip of her nose. Su Xiaolu waved the air in front of her and went to the ready-to-wear shop. She bought a set of clothes for Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng before returning to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Su Xiaolu returned to her room and lay on the bed to rest. Her consciousness entered the Space.

The spiritual energy in her space was lush, and the two pieces of land seemed to be filled. Even the leaves of the green herbs contained spiritual energy. Among them were ginseng, lingzhi, snow lotus, knotweed, and so on. There was also a rare Ghost Orchid. After so many years, she had only obtained one Ghost Orchid.

She planted the seeds of the Snow Herb one by one and watered them with spiritual spring water. After doing all this, Su Xiaolu left the Space.

She cut the two stalks of Snow Herb into pieces and prepared to use them to make medicine.

In any case, whatever precious medicinal herbs she encountered would be used to make medicine and stored in the Space. Over the past few years, the only things that could save her life were the hemostatic medicine and heart protection medicine.

Good medicinal herbs were hard to find, and those that were effective immediately were even rarer. Such an expensive Snow Herb might only produce eight or nine pills after extraction.

For the next four days, Su Xiaolu did not leave the inn. She ate in her room.

Wang Huilan wanted to sew clothes, so she didn’t go out.

On August 14, Su Xiaolu packed the ten dried pills in small jars.

Wang Huilan also prepared clothes and ate together. Wang Huilan said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, you haven’t gone out for a few days. Do you want to go out for a walk?”

Liu Zijin and the others had already taken the exam for five days. Today was the sixth day. If nothing went wrong, they would be out the day after tomorrow.

Wang Huilan was no longer worried. Her clothes were ready and she had time to go out for a walk.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “That works too. I haven’t been out for a few days.”

Su Xiaolu packed up and went out with Wang Huilan.

There were people coming and going on the streets. All kinds of hawkers and shouts mixed together.

Wang Huilan looked at the small items in the stalls and carefully chose them.

Su Xiaolu was a little distracted. She smelled the strange smell again. What was this smell?

She looked at the people coming and going and felt uneasy.

The sound of the strangers coughing made it seem like many people were sick.

Wang Huilan asked Su Xiaolu with a little rabbit. She called out to Su Xiaolu a few times, but there was no reaction. Wang Huilan put the things back on the stall and asked with concern, “Xiaolu, what’s wrong?”

Su Xiaolu said to Wang Huilan, “Sister-in-law Huilan, there’s something wrong with the air. Let’s go back to the inn first.”

Su Xiaolu no longer hesitated and pulled Wang Huilan back to the inn.

Wang Huilan was also panicking. She did not feel anything, but when she saw that Su Xiaolu was no longer smiling, she panicked.

When she returned to the inn, Su Xiaolu frowned. There was also that faint smell in the inn.

After returning to her room upstairs, Su Xiaolu said to Wang Huilan, “Sister-in-law Huilan, wait for me in my room. I’m going out for a while. Don’t go out either. There might be an epidemic in the city. Just don’t go out first. I’ll go out and take a look.”

Su Xiaolu rushed out.

The outbreak of an epidemic in ancient times was no joke.

Su Xiaolu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and went to the medical center first.

She went to several clinics. Every clinic had that faint strange smell, like rotten fruit. It smelled very uncomfortable.

Su Xiaolu asked around. Recently, there had been many fevers in the city. Coughs, fevers, and continuous high fevers could not go away.

She went to the city gate, which was strictly guarded. Everyone who entered and left was strictly checked.

Su Xiaolu did not hesitate anymore and immediately went to buy a house. Whether it was a plague or not, she had to ensure that her family had a safe residence first.

With the plague, the inn was not suitable for living.

She bought a house for 1,000 taels and quickly settled the transfer procedures. Su Xiaolu went to buy food. She divided up a few grain shops and bought 2,000 catties of rice grain and hundreds of catties of cured meat. She also bought hundreds of catties of radishes.

After buying these things and settling them down, it was already dark. Su Xiaolu locked the door of the house and returned to the inn.

Wang Huilan was about to go crazy from waiting. When she saw Su Xiaolu return, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu said to Wang Huilan, “Pack your things. Let’s move somewhere else.”

Seeing Su Xiaolu’s serious expression, Wang Huilan swallowed her questions. She didn’t ask further and turned to pack her things.

After packing up and leaving the inn, Su Xiaolu drove the carriage forward. Wang Huilan and the Wang family coachman drove another carriage to follow.

When they arrived at the new residence, Su Xiaolu asked the coachman to settle the two horses while she entered the hall with Wang Huilan.

Without waiting for Wang Huilan to speak, Su Xiaolu said, “Don’t go out for the time being. Make all the food yourself. You have to use boiling water to boil your clothes and bowls and chopsticks every day.”
