Chapter 21: Selaginella

The police officer then looked for her father. At that time, her father brought a stranger aunt with him, then said in front of her face that he didn’t know her and he had no children at all.

That year, she was only 4 years old.

Ever since then, she had lived in the orphanage. She also never spoke that she has parents.

However, Zhao Lan, although she was not really her daughter. She uses all her energy to love and protect her. This was not only a mother’s unconditional love but also a selfless affection.

This love was the only thing that she ever wanted, but she couldn’t get.

In the past, she always thought that God was unfair. Everyone was loved by their parents, only her was not.

However, today, she thinks God was truly fair. The love she didn’t get in the 23rd century, was instantly given to her in this era.

So, she will cherish this hard-earned affection and protect this kind mother.

Doctor Lu applied some medicine to the bruises on Bai Zhi’s face, then left his homemade ointment in her care: “After this, you put this medicine on your wounds. Remember, you shouldn’t let your wounds get wet. Otherwise, your wounds will not heal fast. And it may have some pus. It will become troublesome by then.”

Bai Zhi took the ointment and smelled it, then she smiled and said: “Lu dafu, did you made this ointment?”

Doctor Lu nodded his head: “Yes, this prescription was handed down by our ancestors. The effect of this medicine is very good, you try it out.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “This ointment is really good, but if you will add 3 grams of Selaginella in it. I think the effect will be even better. You can try that out next time.”

Doctor Lu’s face changed slightly. But, his brain was making calculations. That herb was not a stranger to him. It can be used to treat traumatic injuries. Especially, if the wound was full of pus. The wound heals faster once it was applied. Why didn’t he think of it before?

“This prescription was passed down in our family. If I made some changes, will it be okay?” Doctor Lu was a bit hesitant.

Bai Zhi smiled, then said: “The prescription was a man-made creation. People create laws, not only to let the people live in peace but also to let the future generations find flaws in it and create a more suitable one. The same with education, it helps the future generation to take less detour of struggles in life, instead of following the ordinary blacken road.”

“Or perhaps, when your ancestors were formulating this prescription, they still don’t know the effect of Selaginella, so they didn’t include it on the list. But now that you know its great effect, don’t you still want to take advantage of its use?”

Doctor Lu’s hesitation instantly dissipated: “Rules are made to be broken, the old prescription was written to be surpassed, I understand, I understand.” Doctor Lu looked very excited. He only had a brief conversation with this little girl, but he felt like, he had gained more than ten years of knowledge in medicine.

“Zhi’er, I really didn’t expect that you know the effect of Selaginella. Although this herb is originally not so expensive, it was really rare to be found. Only a few people had seen it. Even I only had seen it once by chance. But, the effect of this herb is really good.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said, “I happened to know it by accident. Lu dafu, if I can find this selaginella, can you help me sell them to get some money?”
