942 Giving Herb (5)
What did this mean? Shen Miao was not a doctor. She didn’t even know how to distinguish herbs, so how could she know the reason? However, she still squatted down and took a closer look. She saw some black spots squirming on the bud. Her heart skipped a beat and she said, “It’s infested with worms.”
“I think so too.” Chi Yan looked troubled. “But this Red Sleeve Flower is the most delicate. It attracts insects and worms the most. If you want to get rid of these insects and worms, you have to use your hands to pick them out one by one. You have to be gentle. Otherwise, you will hurt the petals.”
Luo Tan said, “But what does this have to do with us?”
Daoist Priest Chi Yan stood up. Seeing that Shen Miao also stood up, he smiled and said, “I’m a man and my hands are clumsy. I’m afraid if I’m not careful, I’ll hurt the petals. These are all rare and precious herbs, so I want Madam to help me remove the worms on them.”
Luo Tan widened her eyes. Did this Daoist priest ask Shen Miao to come over because he wanted to use her as free labor?
Shen Miao asked, “After picking all these worms, will you give me the herb that can cure all poisons?”
Chi Yan nodded.
“Alright, I’ll do it.”
Luo Tan did not speak. She thought that It did not seem to be an unfair trade to earn a herb by doing some work.
However, Chi Yan shook his head and led Shen Miao and Luo Tan forward. He said, “It’s the Red Sleeve Flowers here.”
The two of them were stunned by what they saw.
It was a large area of herbs. Moreover, the herbs were not neatly arranged. Among Red Sleeve Flowers, there were all kinds of other herbs. It would take a lot of effort to just identify the Red Sleeve Flowers.
“Are you deliberately playing with us?” Luo Tan jumped up and said angrily, “It’s not a task a person can carry out.”
Chi Yan only looked at Shen Miao with a smile. “Madam, do you also think that one person can’t do it?”
Shen Miao only looked at him deeply and said, “After doing this, will you really give me the herb?”
“Little Cousin!” Luo Tan was anxious. “He’s clearly playing with you. If he had the intention to save Brother-in-law, why would he give you such an impossible task? He doesn’t look like a benevolent person.”
Chi Yan said, “Young lady, you’re wrong. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. In this world, there are gains and losses. If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price. If Madam wants my herbs, she has to get rid of the worms on the flowers for me. This is a very fair trade. Moreover, it’s up to Madam whether she wants to take on this task or not.”
He continued, “Fix the Red Sleeve Flowers and fertilize the herbs on this valley. Then, I’ll give you the herb you want.” He waved his horsetail whisk. “Don’t try to fool me. I will check them in the end. If the task is not done well, I won’t give you the herb. Also,” he looked at Luo Tan, “this girl can’t help. Madam, can you do it?”
“I can do it. I hope you can keep your promise too.” After saying that, Shen Miao jumped into the herb bush, bent down, and started to pick up the worms seriously.
Who would’ve thought that Princess Consort Rui, a woman who grew up pampered, would be treated like a servant. If Shen Xin and Shen Qiu in the capital found out, they would definitely fly into a rage.
