The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 346 - 346 346 Didnt Sleep All Night

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Didn’t Sleep All Night? Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Didn’t Sleep All Night? “Is… is that possible?”

Ya Molian stopped in her tracks, staring at her intently.

“This isn’t just idle talk, Sang. ‘Hue Sickness’, ‘Sheer Cliff’, ‘Luo Wei’–though none of them are violently toxic, each one of them is a distinct poison when isolated. Trying to create a single antidote to counteract all three poisons simultaneously is more difficult than reaching the sky itself.”

“Let’s give it a try.”

Lin Caisang, of course, knew how difficult it was, but how would they know without trying?

“I have a rough idea of what we’re up against. I’ve already obtained the Elder Princess’s blood. We can start experimenting with that. If it doesn’t work, we can try something else. In that case, I’ll have to ask for your help in finding the cure for ‘Hue Sickness’. As for the antidote for ‘Sheer Cliff’, I can make it myself.”

Though she could make the antidote for ‘Hue Sickness’, she didn’t have the time to make both antitoxins simultaneously and needed Ya Molian’s help.

“Okay.”

Ya Molian nodded.

“I’ll take you home first.”

…

These past few days, Lu Qiubo, aware of his granddaughter’s exhaustion and her difficulty in finding the required ingredients, hadn’t disturbed her and urged her to rest after dinner.

Like she was cooperatively tired, Lin Caisang had already retreated into the inner chambers by the time night fell.

The first thing she had to do was to produce a salve from the drugs she’d taken from the pharmacy in the Princess’s Mansion. That way, she could deliver the medicine to Nanny Bai first thing in the morning, and it could be taken with just a little hot water from then on.

The close call with her medicinal mix up with the Elder Princess had shaken her to the core. From now on, any medicine would be produced by her alone.

However, because she also needed to prepare the antidotes and didn’t have enough time, she’d come up with a solution: make the medicine into a paste that could be taken with warm water. This would make it easier for the patients to consume.

…

The moment the door was opened, the glaring sunlight bathed her entire body. Lin Caisang raised her hand to shade her eyes.

“What’s with you, didn’t you sleep all night?”

Seeing her exhaustion, Ya Molian, who was already waiting in the Lin family’s courtyard early in the morning, walked over, expressing his concern.

“It’s okay. I spent the entire night researching, and now I’m finally starting to make some progress.”

She shook her head, then raised her hands to rub her temple. After working through the night and losing some blood earlier, she was genuinely a bit drained, but that didn’t matter.

“Why is no one home?”

Despite getting up late, Lin Caisang discovered that there wasn’t a soul in sight.

Even Grandpa, who usually waited for her and watched her leave in the morning, wasn’t home. The house was so quiet it would seem that even the mice were gone. What was going on?

It was still raining, so where had everyone gone? It was confusing.

“They all left? They didn’t even bother to notify me.”

“Don’t you remember? Today is Grain Bristles, and everyone should be out looking at their crops. Since they saw how tired you were, they didn’t wake you.” Ya Molian reminded her.

For some reason, in Yejun, the Grain Bristles festival had become incredibly important. Everyone would go out to look at their crops and then offer a hot meal with three bowls of rice as a way of praying for a good harvest.

“Is it Grain Bristles already?”

Lin Caisang blinked. Her days had been so hectic she was even less informed than Ya Molian.

“So, are you going out to check on the crops too?” She asked.

“No.”

Ya Molian answered without a second thought.
