Downhill shopping

  From the first batch of refugees, Song Lingyu started mentioning to Mu Xiaoou that she was bored and wanted to go to the back mountain to recognize some herbs. Mu Xiaoou didn't have many restrictions on her actions, but he sent Mu Qian to protect Song Lingyu. It's not so much protection as surveillance. Song Lingyu wasn't paying attention either, anyway, she hadn't thought about escaping or doing anything else.

  These days, Song Lingyu observed the actions of the disaster victims while searching for herbs in the back mountain.

  Song Lingyu didn't fully understand the herbs either, so she just wandered aimlessly on the mountain. Mu Qian followed behind Song Lingyu all the way, although she was very impatient, only because it was Mu Xiao's order, she didn't dare not to obey.

  Song Lingyu spent a long time wandering on the mountain and only picked some golden and silver flowers that could detoxify. She originally wanted to stay for a while, but she met those two people from the prime minister's mansion again. Later, after Mu Qian told Mu Shaozhen about it, he absolutely disagreed with her going to the back mountain again.

  Song Lingyu had no choice but to stay in her room. Half a month later, Song Lingyu stopped Mu Qian who was going to Mu Xiao's place. "Mu Qian, can you go down the mountain and help me buy some things?"

  Mu Yan furrowed her brow. She didn't dislike Song Lingyu, but she felt a bit repelled by her, simply because she was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Right Chancellor. "No way!"

  "I heard that the village is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you help me?"

  Mo Qian didn't bother to reason with Song Lingyu, and tried to walk past her. Song Lingyu took a step back, but still blocked her way: "I'm just passing by, if you think you can't make decisions on your own, you can go ask your village chief."

  Mo Qian took a deep breath and looked at Song Lingyu impatiently: "Alright, alright. What do you want? I'll have someone help you carry it."

  "No, you have to go and take care of this yourself." Song Lingyu said, before Mu Qian could retort, she continued: "I'll help you bring some mung beans and licorice."

  Mu Shallow looked at Song Lingyu with a puzzled expression, somewhat unclear, "What do you want green beans and licorice for?"

  Song Lingyu smiled slightly, seemingly a bit mischievous: "Recently the weather has been hot, and mung beans can clear heat. And I've heard that licorice root has the effect of counteracting all poisons. Anyway, since I'm stuck in this village, might as well study it properly, see if it's really as magical as others say."

  Mo Qian was somewhat skeptical of Song Lingyu's words, but this matter wasn't up to her to decide, so she didn't bother thinking about it too much. She nodded at Song Lingyu and said, "Alright alright, I know!"

  "Wait!" But before Mu Qian could take a few steps, Song Lingyu spoke up again. Mu Qian turned around and glared at Song Lingyu in annoyance: "What now?!"

  Song Lingyu stepped forward a few steps, smiling and whispering in Mu Qian's ear: "When the time comes, if your leader agrees to let you help me deliver it, remember not to let anyone else know that you helped me deliver the licorice root, okay?"

  "Fine! Fine!" Mu Qian had already lost his patience, pushed Song Lingyu away and turned to walk towards Mu Xiao's house.

  Song Lingyu looked at Mu Qian's back, the smile on her mouth disappeared. In this way, the things to be prepared are almost complete, although she is not sure if they can be used at that time, but now it can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

  After consulting with Mu Xiao Man, Mu Xiao Man hesitated for a moment and agreed. In his view, these things were not enough to pose any threat to him.

  Mu Qian also followed Song Lingyu's words, when she went to the mountain foot to purchase goods, she slipped away from everyone and went to a pharmacy to buy some licorice root. The entire mountain stronghold, except for Mu Qian and Mu Xiao Man, only knew that the eldest daughter of the Right Chancellor's Manor had someone go to the mountain foot to conveniently purchase some mung beans to avoid the heat, but no one knew she also had them bring back licorice root.

  Another half month passed and it was Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole mountain stronghold was filled with a joyful atmosphere, even the vigilance relaxed along with it.

  But in the whole mountain village, only one person changed from relaxation to vigilance, and that person was Song Lingyu.
